I have a Samsung Transform Ultra (rooted, running stock Android 2.3.4). I have a factory bluetooth kit in my car. I also have an auxiliary port in my car as well so I like to listen to music on my phone while driving. The problem is that when I receive a call from anyone, the audio from the call automatically plays through the auxiliary line and not through the bluetooth kit. I have to unplug the auxiliary line from my phone before it works right. The bluetooth kit automatically mutes the radio so it won't play the audio from the call with the auxiliary cord plugged in. So I ended up buying a bluetooth audio receiver for my car that plugs into the auxiliary port. The receiver is a Logitech bluetooth audio receiver that when connected plays audio through the speakers quiet fine. But again, the phone audio still plays through the speakers. I checked the bluetooth setting for each device and this is what they have listed
Here is what my settings for my car kit are:

As you can see from the screen shots, I don't understand what the problem is and why the phone audio still doesn't play through the factory car bluetooth kit when it's connected via the auxiliary cable or the bluetooth receiver. My Bluetooth headphones work great when I listen to music through them and call audio works perfectly fine through them as well. Is there any way to disable the phone call audio from playing through through the Logitech receiver? Or is there a way to have my phone disconnect the Logitech receiver when a call is made/received and then reconnecting to it when the call has ended? I'm just getting really annoyed with how this works on my phone.

Try an app named SoundAbout. It will route media to "Wired Headphones"...which is your 3.5mm Aux input and route phone media to Bluetooth mono, which is your car's Bluetooth phone profile.

is there an accessory that will connect the phone to the car using the cars charger spot and the phones 3.5 mm ?
i dont have an aux input in the car, so im wondering if there is a workaround using the car charger type accessory
A car charger can not send audio to your stereo.(period)
You would be able to use an FM transmitter, but the quality of the output will be kind of sketchy. It's all about how much the sacrifice in quality compares to the enjoyment the listening will bring.

is there an aux input in the back of your radio? thats what i had to do? as far as fm transmitters i really didn't like the sound quality
if you have a tape player, you can get an adapter that will use the 3.5mm jack but the other end is shaped like a cassette tape, and will feed tunes through the head
it looks like this

IF they enable the built in fm it's going to be a receiver not a transmitter i'm afraid.
as for the OP, the cigarette lighter sockets in your car are power only, no audio. your options for getting audio to the car's head unit are
1) get a head unit with a 3.5mm aux input which is your best bet for quality
2) pull out your head unit and see if there is an aux input on the back
3) get a cassette adapter. the audio will be alright as long as you keep the volume output from your phone down. The adapters tend to distort at higher volume inputs.
4) fm transmitter. quality will be crap, but it will work.

My wife's car stereo got stolen a few weeks ago. When shopping we saw a new stereo with a usb port. We got it, I was thinking it would be great, one cable to charge and play music at the same time (Instead of an audio cable and a cigarette charger) We plugged in the usb cable which came with her mytouch 4g phone plugged the mini usb into her phone and the usb into the stereo and set the stereo to usb and the mytouch played music over it's own speaker... I tried it in charge only, disk storage, and usb tethering. None of them worked. When I put it in disk drive mode it wouldn't play any music at all, instead saying to mount the SD card. Can this be made to work?
(NOTE: It's a Sumas Media SM-868CD car stereo)
Thanks

you'd have to contact the manufacture of the stereo.
We decided to take the stereo back. I was just doing a final check to see if maybe there was a setting I wasn't thinking of on the phone. Oh well...

that would NEVER work. the usb on the mytouch4g is for charging and data ONLY. you would have to buy a stereo with an AUXILLIARY jack. then you need an auxilliary cord that is 3.5mm on the phone end and whatever size you need for the stereo. im my case, just a double ended 3.5mm cord. cost me like $2. plug one end in the HEADPHONE jack and the other end in the car stereo and PRESTO, you have music through your phone to your stereo. (just make sure your stereo is on AUX mode)
best way to have done it for that would when you plug the phone into the stereo it will ask to toggle the usb for the SD card. just set to usb disk and hopefully the stereo picks it up. once it does then just browse through the stereo for the music.

That depends on the stereo, some of them are are made for either generic file grouping or iOS products.

Exactly, My car stereo 'sees' my MT4G via USB connection just fine, it does depend on the stereo though. I have the Sony MEX-BT3800U.

You're going to need a name-brand HU for it to be able to browse the phone's sdcard. Sony, Kenwood, Pioneer, Alpine, etc. I'm personally a fan of Alpine.
Or you do it the easy way and just buy a cheap adapter to convert the cd changer port of the HU to a basic aux cable.
Like so.

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this in because this is my first post as a member but here we go. I noticed that when using my mono earbuds with my nexus 5 they work perfectly fine, but the stereo earbuds don't work at all. Is this a problem with just me or just a limited feature of the phone? The stereo earbuds sounding better to me than mono and I prefer them. Also, the stereo earbuds worked perfectly on my nexus 7(2012 edition). Please help, I'd like to use the pink ones.

First of all....Mono earbuds? I've never even heard of those. Anyway, I've never had any problem with any headphones I've used on the N5. There may be something wrong with either the headphones or the headphone jack on your N5.
Mono are the earbuds that transmit the same sound through both earbuds. Stereos transmit bass through one and treble through the other if I'm not mistaken. You can tell the difference between them by looking at the Jack of them and counting the number of rings they have. 3 rings=stereo 2=mono

I'm pretty sure Stereo actually has independent sound on each side (Left and Right).
Try this app to check if your stereo is working: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jasonfarrell.stereotest

I don't think you understand stereo.
Mono plays the same through left and right speakers
Stereo plays the left channel through then left speaker and the right channel through the right speaker.
To play stereo , you need a stereo recording, stereo amplifier and stereo headphones. Stereo was invented in the late 1800's and industry released recording, stereo has been the norm for many, many years.
I've never in my life come across mono headphones and I haven't seen a device produced that only plays mono (that isn't a single speaker radio or centre speaker on a 5 channel audio setup) in my lifetime. Some headphone jacks have additional sleeves above and beyond the number required for stereo. A mono jack has one sleeve, one ring and the tip like this

As you can see, the other end of this is stereo. You cannot plug a mono jack into a stereo socket because stereo socket will have a left and right connection which a mono jack would bridge together because the mono sleeve on a jack is the same size as the left AND right on a stereo jack combined.
So, yes the nexus 5 is stereo. All your headphones are stereo. Every "media player" with a headphone jack going back to the first ever Sony walkman in the early 1980's is stereo
Looking at HiFi speakers, some are bi-wired to separate the bass and the treble to different cones within the same speaker cabinet. You still get left bass and right bass if you're playing a stereo source. Maybe that's what you're confusing.

Hello,
When listening to music, my 24 bit Flac audio files are played down to 16 bits. This is the case with bluetooth headset, wired headset, and its own speaker. I tried many music players. (Samsung music, poweramp, jetaudio etc.) When I look at the developer options, the 24 Bit feature appears to be passive.
I am waiting for your help in this matter. I bought this phone because it has this feature. Otherwise I would buy Mi 11 lite. I hope I will not regret it.
This seems yo be the case with me too.
I would suggest not using Bluetooth as it cannot play hi-res files. Over aux however, I use Poweramp and changed the setting to hi-res output. Even so,my 24 bit FLAC files get downsampled to 16bit. The A52 as far as I know doesn't have a dedicated dac like LG phones used to. Since there isn't any information on samsung website. Qualcomm does mention that 720g comes with support.
An external DAC would work, but that inferres lugging around another piece of tech in your already bulky pocket.
Any help would be great!

Any new info on this matter? Im thinking of getting this phone and audio is a really important subject to me.
Does poweramp support hd playback on this device or is a external DAC required?
Bt isn't bandwidth capable of supporting 24 bit throughput.
UHQ Upscaler must be enable for hi res output via the C port. That toggle is found in Sound Assistant if you're using it and in Settings.

This post is a bit old but may help for people searching for Playback of High Resolution Audio.
I am using a FiiO BRT5 with LDAC Bluetooth Codec with Samsung Note10. Its has the highest throw power in wireless high resolution Audio.
Incase of any other brand of mobile phone or bluetooth headphones or amp, make sure ot supports LDAC on both end, LDAC was proprietary of Sony but its now supported by Android as well.
I saw something about Hi-Res audio being only played through the USB C port on USB C earphones and headsets? I think RayOS enabled it on the 3.5mm port too but I might be wrong.

In the end i got the phone, and yes, it tells me it's playing at 24 bit/192khz (using hi-res output, it can go further but i dont trust if it's really going that far and anything over 192khz it lowers the volume.)
Hi,
In my car BT is always delayed. Headphones - ok.
The only advice I found - experiment with different codecs.
But all of them are greyed in Developer options.
Can you change bt codec in your S22 Ultras?
Any other way to solve delay problems?

PS: don't blame my car the phone is the problem
If these options are greyed out...it means that the device (your car) doesn't support these codes. Unfortunately...we have to blame the car.
If you can give us more information about the car...and the stereo...maybe we can get more information...but looking at the greyed out options...this system only supports SBC...the minimum bluetooth requirement.
What do you mean by "delay"? Is there latency happening somewhere?
Greyed out codec options means the connected device (in this case, your car's head unit) doesn't support that codec.
Some codecs, like aptX and LDAC, support things like higher bandwidth, but your source signal (i.e., from your phone) needs to be equally good or better (think FLAC files or other lossless audio) for the benefits of of a more modern BT codec to be realized. It's like judging all music through laptop speakers (or our S22U speakers lol), there's a weak link in the chain before it ever reaches your ear.
If I had to guess I would speculate that the underlying cause of whatever delay you're experiencing is due to something else other than BT codecs. But without more info, hard to say.
It's the car. I have the same latency issue when watching videos while playing the audio through my car's BT system.

Those are greyed out even when my phone is not connected to my car.
You can see in the screenshot that there's no BT connection.
So it's the phone.. not the car. Car is sleeping in the parking lot
Is your BT codec option selection active or not?

Yes...this is also normal. You can't select a codec until it is connected to a device.
They will all be greyed out...until you connect...and then, whichever codecs the Bluetooth device can decode with light up.
But you know best.....
