trying to work out if this is only hardware specific to the t959 and not i9000 or if my dock is faulty or samsung/android is not up to speed. maybe i have to do some software tweak??
Got myself the t959 desktop dock and the i9000 fits perfectly, charges and automatically runs the desktop app. all good
my problem is i cant get audio to come out of the docks 3.5mm plug which is usb audio out from i9000. it just keeps coming out the phones speaker no matter what.
the official info from samsung is that froyo 2.2 will allow the audio out of the usb port. at least on the dock advertising and packaging.
info about dock in this link.

Ive tried darkys 8.0 rom which is running 2.2.1 i believe and today tried with darkys 8.0 rom and voodoo 5.2 sound optimised kernel but no go on the usb audio out.
any ideas or info would be appreciated.
cheers

Maybe the custom kernel has broken the sound through usb support?
Try install a stock kernel (or stock+ voodoo maybe).. at least to rule out the possibility.
ok found this thread after many many searches. from google strangly but anyway...

doesnt look like the stock samsung kernel does it either on any device.
might put a request in to voodoo to see if they can do it.
Have you installed the Desk home Samsung"-App?
You can get it here.

In the settings you can switch between internal and external speakers.

But I'm worried why it seems to be only mono and not stereo....
Hi,
Just got this dock too (t929 for Samsung Vibrant) and the line-out seems to be working for me.
My phone is UK - XEU unlocked Samsung Galaxy S, running official Samsung 2.2.1 firmware (XXJPY). (no mods of any kind)
Also using the Desk Home app from Samsung Apps, version reports as 1.0.
The only odd thing (probably due to the app version) is that the sound comes out both the phone speaker and the line-out. In order to use the line-out properly, looks like have to mute the phone sound via the dock app.
I only used the standard music app and have not tried other apps though.
Things I noticed while have a play:
- clicking the "home" button takes you to the desk home app rather than
the home screen.
- while docked, music app Effects won't work
- plugin phone to dock launches desk home app.
- if you Exit desk home, touchwiz home screen is in landscape mode
I will try the app mentioned earlier, as curious to try the speaker config setting.
Overall, am happy, just wish Samsung had this in EU (UK) during phone launch and also had the original dock that was shown with the speakers.
Cheers,
Hi,
same problem for me. I got the Samsung cardock last week but audio out doesn't work. I'm on Darky 9.0 with hardcore K12Q kernel maybe it will work with the stock JPY or with voodoo kernel...I gonna try this tomorrow I think.
If this is a hardware problem i can solve it myself with a little bit creativity and some information about the car mode and how to get in this mode.

with the right resistance you might be able to turn it on manually an than use headphone in and micro usb at the same time so that you doesnt need the original power supply...
On the Desk Home app, I had to press the "mute" button in order to get the sound to go to the line out. If I exit the Desk Home app, the sound comes back to the internal speaker....
ok more information.. the version of the app posted via links earlier in the thead does not work right in froyo.. if you set up weather in daily briefing it crashes when running
this modified version (older) i found for froyo does work correctly with weather and it even pops up the app correcly when you plug in the cradle.. in addition it does not let the screen time out and turn off like the other version.. havent tried with music yet but there is a setting to use music out over usb in the app.. i am running jpy 2.2.1 let me know how it works for you..
notif. bar is too bright.. at night dont know a way to hide it.. anyone?
very happy to report that the audio out also works through the dock.. when you goto options and set it to turn off internal speaker...just tried on some amplied speakers and the internal speaker shuts off.. very sweet..
now the only real issue is the innability to hide the notif. bar, and the worry about screen burnin.. maybe there should be an option to set timeout (different than regular timeout) to say xx minutes or something.. with a little moving area you can touch to turn the screen back on.. kinda like a screen saver.
also was supprised that the app pops up authomatically when you plug into the dock even without having the dock plugged in as it is not good to have the battery continually charging.. must be some sort of resister internal in the dock.

Thanks heaps for all the effort and replies.
My v1.0 desk home from samsung works as above. will try the attached version as the one from samsung doesnt have internal speaker olff in settings.
EDIT: update both the versions work.
v1.0 available from samsung apps store uses mute for 3.5mm plug audio out.
attached version above use uncheck internal speaker.
both versions need to be running in order for 3.5mm plug to output audio. So guessing this is done via dock home app and any other app can take advantage of it.
start playing thru poweramp then run dock home and your audio comes out 3.5mm plug
this is all on i9000 btw and i suspect also t959.
have emailed both poweramp and alarm clock plus to see whether they would mod their apps to work same as desk home.
will see what they come back with but in the mean time thanks for showing me how i can get my music out the 3.5mm plug.
I know this thread is a little old, but I too have this dock, and I'm having audio related problems.
I have a Samsung Vibrant (T959), which is designed to work with this dock. I upgraded to Froyo, which again is necessary in order to get the audio to work using the line out port. And I downloaded and installed the Desk Home app. I also muted the speaker.
I get audio, but it's horrible.... nowhere near the quality I get when using the phone's headphone jack. The line out port has almost no bass... I'm not being picky, the difference is DRASTIC.
I sent the unit back to Samsung TWICE, and both replacement units had the same issue.... horrible audio quality using the line out port. Has anyone else experienced this problem?
I'm starting to thing my phone may be to blame, but I can't be sure as I don't have a second phone to test the dock with. The thing is.... the audio is great when I use the phone's headphone jack. Maybe when the audio is transmitted via the phone's USB port it degrades in quality?? Is this possible?
Just got this car mount yesterday.
Using Car Dock Home or Dock Sound Redirector in the market seems to make the music play for me through the car speakers.
Quality seems great - no different than before (and better quality than radio). Using MyUI Delphenium ROM which has the Voodoo sound kernal I believe.
Only problem is that calls don't work (as reported on multiple threads). I have to switch to internal speaker to hear people. Will look around the market for a replacement app...
I'm using Samsung's microUSB to HDMI adapter with my Sensation and it works fine but seems like there's no any configuration of hdmi output nowhere. Is there any app to do this or some config files?
There's just one small problem. I have black frame appx. 2cm on 42" TV. It seems like it's made for overscan because when i enable oversan in my tv the image fits perfectly but, obviously, i get cropped resolution then. But, i've noticed one interesting thing: the stock apps like camera output really fullscreen image on the TV without any frame and without any UI elements on TV screen so all the controls go to phone's display and not on the TV. So if there's no way to configure HDMI in sensation yet i have another question: Is there any video player which plays all formats(like MoboPlayer, etc.) which can also handle TV output like stock apps making it really fullscreen without any frame and not just cloning the phone's display to tv?
Thanks.
Im using a micro HDMI to HDMI adapter and a normal HDMI cable tested and used in other devices, but whit my XOOM[4.1.2] The screen don't fill show all my table screen (im not referring to the 80 px that the status bar has, i know that dosen't show) it just appears cropped.
Im testing whit a Philips 32'' 32PFL4505D, the tv dosen't have an option that can help me
I think I saw this over the weekend. For some reason I had to go into the TV settings and have it "auto-detect" again. Then the TV properly scaled the picture to fit on the screen.

I am looking for an app for my tablet that I am building into the dash of my car I want an app where I press a single button basically launch the app and it will immediately begin recording video using the front facing camera on the tablet without showing that video recording on the screen the idea is if I get pulled over for example by the police I can tap this button and it will began recording the inside of the car with the of the front facing camera on the tablet without showing anything on the screen either home screen or screen off any suggestions streaming be nice but not required

Try Record Now!. It does exactly what you want it to do, works great (I tested it myself), and is free - that's always a plus, right?
EDIT - Just found Secret Video Recorder Free. I haven't tested it, but you might want to try this one, as well.
Post thank? :fingers-crossed:
I have a MTCE_XRC unit running "stock" 7.1.2. So far its working great in my GM vehicle. Retaining all factory systems that I require including the rear factory flip down headrest. The problem is that I only get Video output when I click the DVD button or insert a DVD. The goal would be to mirror the front screen on the flip down monitor so I can play youtube or video files back there.
Does anyone know if this has been addressed/corrected with any ROM or is there a setting I am missing?
Thanks!
