Hi, I just noticed that voice search, or any app using the microphone is working when I have headphones or auxiliary cable plugged in. I know that the internal microphone is not supposed to work if you have an headset with a mic plugged in, but I don't understand why it doesn't work with a simple aux cable to my car stereo. The only time that I would like to use voice search or voice typing is usually in the car, but when I'm there the phone is usually plugged in for music... Any solutions? I tried different cables. Is this a kernel/rom problem? I'm running latest PAC with Franco kernel. Thank you very much
sorry this is the wrong section, please close this thread!

Hi,
I have connected my KJam to my car stereo via a cable from the 2.5mm jack to the aux port of my car stereo. Tom Tom voice and phone calls are routed through my car stereo. Sometimes, the microphone will not work when I take a call. I can hear the caller perfectly but they can't hear me. Other times, the phone functionality works perfectly and we can both hear each other great.
If anyone can suggest any ideas, I would be very grateful.
Thanks
if your using a jack to connect it to your car, then its will prob. stop the mic working as its routing the audio to you car in the same way the headset with mic that you got with the k-jam does. I had this problem on mine, but due to the fact that i use a bluetooth neadset in the car fixed that little problem 8)
That's the end of my k-jam desires then.
I use my MDA compact in the same way you describe, for TomTom, Hands free calling and to play my music through.... and my microphone works fine with the headphone jack in.
I guess one thing to check would be the number of rings on your 2.5mm jack. If you have 3 then theres a possibility the k-jam thinks you have a mic on the end of the wire. If you have 2 rings (normal stereo headphones) then there must be another issue somewhere.
thanks for your replies. My concern was around the fact that sometimes the microphone works and sometimes not. I wonder if there is a workaround or a specific type of cable that I need to ensure that only the audio is routed and not the mic as well.
Thanks for all your help.l
never tried this myself, so i can only assume it would work. you could hack a cheap wired headset up, removing the earpieces but leaving the microphone. then add a stereo 3.5 plug so you can hook it up to your car stereo.

I have that very problem also, it's gotten that annoying that i've stopped using it through my stereo. you are able to get around it by popping the cable out of the kjam, then putting it back in.
pain in the ass though none the less.
What is the phone is set to Speakerphone ?
Even though Speakerphone is currently not working...
Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone has had any success in fixing this problem? I am having the same issue. I have a 2 ring 2.5-3.5mm adapter connected (so it should only be routing the audio, not the mic) and sometimes the caller can hear me, sometimes not. At one stage I found by unplugging the cable, setting to speakerphone, then unsetting speakerphone and plugging the cable back in would get it to work, but not anymore...
Any ideas?!?! I love my XDAII mini but this is driving me up the wall!
Cheers,

Hi,
when I connect my wizard to aux-in in my car (via headhone jack), when I receive a call, the other person cannot hear me. I have to pull out the cable and then put it in again and then it is ok.
Any ideas?
Tnx
P.S. its G4 and I have tried a lot of roms
it's a hardware thing
the connector was ment for headsets with mic and earphones
and when connected mic and speaker in the device itself is always disabled
only thing you can do is to connect an ext mic using the same connector as
the car stereo as thats the only mic input the phone will respond to
when the cable is connected
thanks for answer.
Ill try what you suggested.
I am interested in purchasing this phone, but I read there is an issue with not being able to use the microphone while headphones are plugged in. I hook my current Android into my car stereo through my headphone jack and when people call, it uses the speaker phone to talk while I hear people on the car stereo. Would I still be able to do this on the Fascinate, or does that also disable the speaker phone mic, or are they the same mic?
im not sure what you are asking but i ahve no problems with it, i plug in my headphones with the mic in them and they work great, use them for listening to music and talking and love it
He means he has his phone plugged into the speakers in his car through the aux jack, and then when he gets a call he uses the speakerphone option to talk, and incoming voice audio plays on his car stereo. I do not think this will currently work on the fascinate...
You've heard right. It blocks speakerphone when headphones/aux are plugged in. It's quite a pain considering I use it as my music player in the car. It also ignores bluetooth while plugged in as well.
I got used to unplugging it when I get a call, though.
This is correct, and was almost a deal breaker for me. However, the car dock has a function where you don't need to plug in the AUX, only the micro-USB, and you can charge it as well as have audio output (the audio goes through the charging port, then is output by a 3.5mm output on the dock, and finally to your car's AUX in). This feature isn't enabled yet, but once Froyo is released it will be - and then we should be able to take calls over our car speakers without the mic being muted.
Just something to keep in mind,

So Indy, we can't use the car dock the way it was intended until froyo drops? That means I can't hear my nav thru the speakers while docked or any music?
Sent from my Fascinate
As I understand it, yes. There is a sticker on the port letting you know that it won't function properly until the release of 2.2. I'm still waiting on my dock to get here in the mail, but I've seen several threads elsewhere where this is discussed.
I don't think the dock has room, but if it does, you could still run an AUX cable from the headphone jack to your car's input, and have nav and music through the speakers - you just wouldn't be able to take calls with it connected because of the mic being muted with an AUX cable connected. Once 2.2 is released, as I understand, you'll be able to do it all.
Thanks for the help. It looks like ill be waiting before I make a purchase. I use slacker radio too much in my car and my deck doesn't have an auxiliary in, its old school tape deck so I have a device that plugs in the tape deck.
Hi all,
Basically, I'm trying to figure out if the subject is possible.
What is happening now is that if I have a standard stereo audio cable plugged in (non-mic) with BT connected to a headset and I receive a call, the audio for the call goes through the headset jack instead of the BT, and because of that there is no mic to pick up my voice. This leaves me able to hear the caller, but them not able to hear me.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Ben

Had sort of the same thing happen to me, except I tried making a BT call while plugged into headphone jack and other end was plugged into my car's aux port. Started to make the call and quit. Guess its another limitation of the current set of roms, if I'm reading correctly.
My question is under android I would have a microphone on the keyboard so that if I was going to navigate somewhere I could just hit that and say where I wanted to go instead of typing out a long address. I am using HTC Locations, and don't see any provision for allowing me to speak my destination point.
I don't think that's possible yet, but there is a lot in the way of BT profile and audio settings that may help that. we'd probably want to look for something that doesn't auto cut off when a jack is inserted
as it stands, BT is buggered (music playback) on ultrafruit ROMs anyway so we're not missing much, xbmods ROM worked fine but his left for pastures new and everyone else is being silent on the matter.
So I have my nexus 7 installed in my car all nice like. I am using the 3.5mm audio jack for simultaneous audio out as well as microphone in. Basically same wiring you have with an in line mic on a pair of headphones. And I want the mic to use on the home screen to use Google experience launchers "OK google" hot phrase while I'm driving. About half the time it works and half the time it doesn't and reverts back to using the internal microphone. Does anyone have any luck getting the mic to work all the time whole plugged into the audio jack.

Thanks! Ya i'll post a picture of my build when i get time, i posted links to my cables. The audio out and mic in work wonderfully, about half the time... It's definately something in the the android OS that determines when it uses it's build in mic and when it uses the plugged in mic. just not sure how
nice, i'm interested in trying this out too!
