3.5mm Male to Male w/ Mic

Anyone bought one before for use w/ the Eris? Looking to use this for audio to home stereo or car aux input but also not have to unplug it to use the phone. This way I can use it as hands free in the car. I've found this one for $10.99
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=41130&cat=3811
and this one for $9.99
http://www.thinksamsungcaptivate.com/samsung-captivate-wired-headsets-10329.html
but it says it's for the Samsung Captivate.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Cool find. Exactly what I have been looking for. I haven't used it or known anyone that has, but I'm probably going to buy it just to try it out. I'll report back with findings unless someone beats me to it.

I personally use a standard line (no mic) keep the phone on my lap and am able to have conversations as if I am wearing a blue tooth headset. Although if this is for your car stereo you do have to take into consideration of the stereo volume cause the conversation can echo back to the person that you are talking to

For some reason that doesn't work for me. I tried it but have to unplug the cord to talk. I can hear them just fine but they can't hear me (no music on either) That's why I started looking for this. I wonder if it's a setting on the phone somewhere...

Assuming that you didnt hit the mute button on the phone, there may be other factors that are giving people on the other end problems hearing you.
a) is your phone rooted? if so, what rom are you using?
Check with the dev who created the rom. Could be possible that you have a older rom version. One of the last updates that VZW pushed out to the eris was for the "sound bug" If you are using a older rom, it could be a possibility that the update was not "cooked" in cause of the date of the ROM. You will see more DEVs stating in their ROM descriptions that is has the recent updates. Using one of thoser ROM may fix that.
b) if your phone is not rooted then is all the updates installed? You can check by doing the following
menu - settings - about phone - system updates
c) depending on where your phone is placed, (ie my lap), seat belts, clothes or some thign else is blocking the phones microphone.
d )slim chance but any chance that the people who can not hear you are only eris users them selves? If yes then see a) and b)

I just use the phone itself as the microphone and the audio routes over the stereo. But of course we don't have laws against talking on the phone here.

Wow, nobody posts in this particular forum. Well, I was just thinking about this type of product today, and seeing it on the forum, I had to buy it.

When I try that the other person can't hear me. Is there a setting that needs to be changed?

[Q] No wifi sleep policy. How to leave wifi on while screen off?

Hi all
How can we leave wifi ON while we turn off the screen??
If you got the charger in, it will remain on.
But with the charger out. your wifi will be turned off and will be turned on again when you turn your screen back on.
Is there a registry hack so we can leave wifi on just like in windows mobile??
Thanks

You can't. It's not possible yet.

sucks.. hope microsoft will put in an option in apollo or tango.

tragic...it must be fixed asap!!!

What a pitty! I guess I'll be returning my Lumia 900 since I am sometimes in areas where there is no reception at and I still need work emails and whatssapp notifications.
Major design flaw if you ask me. No clue how MS believes this is a good behavior. At least give us the option!

Well, it's usually a good behaviour because it saves battery and that's pretty sure the reason why MS did it this way. But you're right a setting would be nice. Anyway, the data connection does still work.

If your cellular reception is not phenomenal, 3G drains battery way quicker than WIFI. I have done tests and seen that for myself. Again like you said, an option would be the best thing to do as everyone can be made happy with it.

Here's a trick: http://mobilitydigest.com/wp-tips-tricks-keep-wifi-running-all-the-time/
Thank Jim for finding it and myself for sharing it!

trick bluetooth profile

i bought a belkin songstream bluetooth thinking i could hook it up in my car and it should work for the media but is there anyway to trick the phone to think it can output all audio (media, call, notifications...) through it?

It should be automatic when u pair however if you goto bluetooth settings and than the settings for the device in your paired list there is a check box for media audio. It should be checked when paired and connected

I think you are out of luck in terms of "changing the profile." The profile is set by the device you are connecting to. If the device being connected to doesn't support something then it won't work.
However, if you buy a Bluetooth receiver that has a mic on it, then all your calls will go through the Bluetooth device.
In addition, I don't know if you have the option, but when in a call, is there a "Bluetooth" button on the bottom right of the screen? If so try pressing it during a call. If that works, then you might be able to use root and xposed or some other method to turn that on on every call when connected to Bluetooth.

yea i have been searching more and more and i think your right... with as far as people have gotten in rooting and everything u would think by now there would be a way to maybe even trick the phone into outputting call audio as media audio or something lol... yea i did try that with no luck.... ughhhh FML lol

trick the phone into outputting call audio as media audio
Well actually this can be done. I am pretty sure it can unless there is something hardware related that prevents it. But I am almost 100 percent this can be done. I have done it with things like GPS navigation sounds and things like that, so if the software making the call uses Java, it can be done.

sooo whos going to give this a try hahaha

Lol, since I already did it for other things, I will take a look. I kinda wouldn't mind having the ability myself.
I will make it in the form of an xposed module.
This is how I plan to make it work:
When an app begins to output audio, my module will create a notification. Inside said notification will be three buttons.
Each button will be an audio source:
Phone, Media, System
Clicking on one will change the currently playing audio output source.

Well I just recently got sprint, was on T-Mobile, not sure who I am sticking with yet... And felt like scrolling through the threads Btw, do you have Sprint unlimited plan? I have about 6 gigs used, and in populated areas like Reading, PA, places I would expect to see best speeds, they are next to pathetic with speeds at 0.64 mbps. Sorry for off topic stuff, but I just can't figure it out.

I mean, like here:
You place a call, and see the "end call" button and the other buttons for like showing keypad etc
In the bottom left, you should see a "speakerphone" button, after clicking that, while connected to your bluetooth, does it route the audio to the bluetooth device?
I ask because if it follows the android code, it appears that it should route the audio to the bluetooth device.
I had said about forcing it using xposed, and when I do that, you don't hear anything at all lol. The other person cannot be heard. In addition, it doesn't appear to be changeable during a call, the option would have to be applied before a call is placed or before a call is accepted. Which, for your case, one could detect if a bluetooth device is connected that supports audio, and if so, force the call audio to that.
Honestly though, it would be much simpler to buy a bluetooth receiver that supports phone calls. I got one from eBay for 11 dollars and have hooked it into my car without any issues. I may even go about disconnecting the bluetooth mic and routing my car's mic to it instead for better audio quality.
As I stated before, it is possible to force it, just a lot more work involved then forcing other audio (like pandora etc).

Bluetooth issues

Do you think Samsung will fix Bluetooth at some point- or shell I refund this phone? It's not connecting to 50% cars currently available on the street.

mine works in every car i own perfect

I, like many people, I would imagine, only own one car, but it works perfectly with mine both on it's own and in use with Android Auto.

no issues here at all with that.

not working with BMW 2007 and 2010

No issues with BT at all.

Working fine for me as well.

I would be looking at the cars, not the phone. The BT in this phone is top notch.

This is second S8+. And the question is do Samsung fix it? There is whole Internet posts about non working Bluetooth on S8+ so no car problem.

...so blame the car. I'm not sure I understand the point of this thread. There's nothing wrong with the Bluetooth on the s8 and therefore nothing to fix on Samsung's end. What do you expect them to do about it?

Adding the weight that it works in my car also. 2014 model renault.
If it was phone problem, it would work in zero cars.
Just accept the cars in question are just not up to scratch or do not play nice with android. Car's fault.

That does not mean it works with every car and as I said there is a lot of proved cases that is not that great. And just to add I've had no problems with S3, S4, S5 and S7Edge, and this post is not competition that it is working or not because obviously it's not for me. I was hoping someone already got some info from Samsung about it.

What I'm saying is, it's not the PHONES fault. It would be the fault of your car/radio. If it was the phones fault it wouldn't work on anything. Just because your car uses old technology, or bad technology, doesn't mean it's the phones fault.

But I'm saying and provided a link, there are other thousands people with the same problem, so you still think it is just my car(s) problem? And phone is ok? And also no problems with previous galaxys?

Search for any phone in existance and you'll find a thousand people complaining about Bluetooth for said phone without them doing any real troubleshooting to try to narrow down possible factors. Sadly, its usually down to user error, an app or setting that's been altered unknowingly by the user or the fault of the device they're trying to connect to.
I don't believe there to be a widespread problem with the s8 at this point. If I see more evidence in the future I'm happy to concede and admit that there may be a problem but right now this is just the same rehashed complaint that you get with every device these days.

Can you connect to anything via bluetooth? If you can, it's not your phone. Pretty simple answer and how to get it. If you can't connect to ONE device, they might not be compatible, that's part of technology always changing. What kind of vehicle bluetooth are you trying to connect to? Exact make and model, of either the car with built in bluetooth, or the device if it's aftermarket.

big problems with bluetooth and the car

Hey.
Had this phone for a week now and whilst it's a great phone, there appears to be a few bugs which need sorting. The main one is the incompatibility with the car for controlling apps like Spotify or streaming music via Bluetooth.
The later is a real pain and one which is causing me to seriously consider getting rid of this device as it's a killer feature for me due to the amount of driving I do.
Had a quick look at Talk Sony forum and a few other people have the same problem but as of yet there is no update or word from Sony.
Anyone else have the same experience and a potential solution?
Cheers
Scott

No solution, I got word from Sony that they are working on it, but my guess is that this will be fixed with Android O, and this could be months ahead :/
But maybe we will receive an update for Android 7, who knows...

Thanks for the reply. This kind of settles it then as Monday is last day of my cooling off period.. Gonna have to take it back as there is no way I can function in my job if I can t use handsfree properly or music
Such a shame.

had the same thing, after much research i found its probably the fact that the premium has bluetooth 5, with special codecs for music streaming. Non of which was available in 2012 when my car was made.
Ive ordered a £3 hadfree kit of ebay to see if that makes any difference.

I was gonna do the same but the only offer they gave me was an s8 with less data for an extra £15 a month. I stuck with the Sony and am hoping when my new car arrives it works.
Good luck.

I have a new 2017 BMW and I am stunned that it doesnt work. The S8 works great and the iPhone is perfect but for some reason Sony have been left out in the dark.

Spoke to Sony. They do believe their device is at fault and have no plans to do any software tweaks till Android O

I dont have any issues with mine controlling pause, play, last or next song, but I switched to Deezer a while back. Ive had more than one issue with Spotify on other devices, so I moved on from that service.

It's such a strange problem.

Hi guys goodevening I've solve this issue ! you just to go o dev menu anche change bluetooth version avrcp from 1.6 to 1.4 after that it will worck again with the idrive with any app.

I tried changing avrcp to 1.4 yet it still won't stream music at all to my alpine head unit.
Didn't even come up as an option under Bluetooth. Says it is connected for calls and contacts only.
The alpine works fine with galaxy note 2, 4, galaxy s5 and s8, Huawei y550. So the fault is with the xz premium.

Same Problem with Alpine and Bose. Solution?
