Listening Music by usb - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is possible?
I mean is possibile to connect the s4 by usb to a radio and listen music from it? Maybe with some app.
I think there's is a way because from the same micro usb output we can have an HDMI output (AUDIO+video)

Won't work without root and an app which will force the external SD to mount as a USB drive (because the phone uses MTP).

Tell me an app that makes it please

I've plugged my s4 into my Sony car stereo and it recognised it and played the Samsung tone. It's just a case of putting your songs in the right folder

Is there any way to ONLY mount the external SD card when mounting as mass storage?That would solve all of my problems..
Well, I think no known solution till date. A composite usb device, not plain mass stroage device!
Well maybe this can help to solve this, once i conected it to my car stereo, i was triying to conect it when i got an error end process of the usb conector it got stick on the display bar and when i reconected it worked, i never could make it again..... But ís posible i did it....

[Q] Audi Music Interface AMI compatible?

Hi, I've just had a new Audi A4 with the AMI, I was hoping I could plug my Hero in and have it read it like it does for iPhone/iPod, but it doesn't seem to.
Is there any way of making the phone compatible with the AMI?
thanks
I don't know anything about AMI. Does it have Bluetooth A2DP? My BMW has this and I can pretty much stream any audio from my phone to my car's sound system.
it's got bluetooth and it downloaded my phonebook to use, but the AMI is a cable that plugs in to the phone
Turned off usb debugging. Also I found directories on my bmw cannot be too deep on sdcard

USB debugging helped me

I assume the USB debugging as I've not changed the directories and before I switched it off I was getting an error in the car saying not a compatible device

What kind of cable did you use for that? Did you use a mini USB to USB cable?

Yes exactly what I am using.
Also I am using the ICS roms (though unstable) and I heard that ICS is able to play music through usb. Correct me if I'm wrong

I'm unaware if ICS is able to run Audio through USB.
I've found in several another threads here on XDADev that it doesn't work even on the most recent phones and even on Jelly Bean (4.1, 4.2).
(One of those threads: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771834)
Also, I'm just shooting at the big globe in the sky right now, but you could try mounting the SD card as a Massive Storage Device and letting the car stereo read the MP3 out the SD card. I can't try it on my radio, as it is CD-era old. Just saying.

USB audio out to car?

The only thing I miss about my iPhone is the ability to control my music through my car in-dash. I have read that USB audio streaming has been enabled in jellybean, but I have yet to see it work in my car. Is it the LG G2 it self? When I used to connect my Nexus 4 it detected it as a usb device but no audio, but the G2 doesn't even get detected...just charges the phone. And yes I have tried switching between the usb modes in PC connections tab.
any suggestions or apps?
Safe to assume that you do not have BT capabilities in your car?

Sounds better through USB plus it charges my phone.
And no bt for music, only calls

You need to be rooted
Try multi-mount sdcard from playstore

USB Mass Storage for Car Stereo

Just picked up the G2 a couple days ago. I've owned an Android before but never got into the rooting and rom flashing process. My problem is mostly that I used my iPhone in my car (a Kenwood head unit) for the stereo. I was able to control the music and sounds via the phone. However, the G2 doesn't work this way. Most I can get so far is the ability to select and play songs via the headunit, which with 1000+ songs is extremely inconvenient. I owned a Samsung Infuse years ago and that was able to work, but it was done by selecting USB Mass Storage I believe. I've done some research but I can't seem to find a straight answer on how to go about enabling that. Is there any way around this? It be awesome to be able to use my phone in the car.
What's the model of your car stereo? Maybe you can connect it with an AUX cable or Bluetooth, if your stereo supports it.

It's a Kenwood MP345-U. It does have an aux cable, however there is sound quality loss with that. Bluetooth I'm honestly not sure whether or not it has, I've read somewhere I can purchase a Bluetooth USB that the phone can connect to. My main concern was I was able to charge my phone before along with it pausing the music during a phone call, etc.

Since the phone can function only in media player mode (MTP), I don't think you can play it any other way than through the AUX cable. CWM recovery has the option of mounting internal storage as USB storage, but that's a highly, highly impractical solution.
You CAN do this but it is specific to CM ROMs. Probably 10.3. I don't know if its working on CM11 KitKat yet.
Its called USB Audio or something.
I'd also check out a Bluetooth solution if it would work. Then you could just plug in audio and use an NFC sticker to turn on BT and launch a music player. If you have a Verizon, you can also do wireless charging, so you can just drop your phone down on a mat and have everything just start working automatically.

There is only quality loss with anything OTHER than AUX. The AUX and only the AUX on this phone is capable of delivering 24bit audio. The downside is, well, 2 cords.
Problem Using Bluetooth
The problem with using Bluetooth is that you can't use voice commands to pick tracks to play.

You need to enabled mtp fix and then place the widget on the home screen...once you connect the normal USB cable just click on the widget

I did that. I enabled MTP fix rebooted and plugged in,what I did notice is that it seems to mount for a second or 2 sometimes and then it unmounts right away. I tried it on 2 work computers also and under my computer, the LG pops up as a drive for a quick second and then it un mounts. What the heck is going on.,I have screen shots of what is happening.It always pops up on the top of the screen with SD Card Unmounted when I tap the widget to mount. Something is causing it to Unmount it appears, any ideas?Since I Rooted the phone, when i hookup the usb cable it says that i am connected as installer, could that have anything to do with it?
