[REQ] Dev needed for Infuse Car Dock to work with Samsung Skyrocket - Samsung Infuse 4G

There are a few dozen of us Skyrocket (GS II LTE) guys using the Infuse car dock (OEM Samsung version) because there are no docks made for the Skyrocket.
And it works great.... except for one problem.
Once you plug the phone into the docks USB port, it does not deliver audio out of the 3.5mm jack on the dock.
Am hoping there is a dev who will know how this function works on the Infuse, so we can possibly port that capability over to the Skyrocket?
Here is the Infuse car dock thread in the Skyrocket forum.

I check the other link and nobody knows so far how to make it work, when you said "he knows" you mean he did actually tell you "how to" make it work?

Can't help you with ****rocket... COMPLETELY different hardware architecture including, I believe, a completely different USB port switching IC.
This is about all the help I can give you:
If the kernel properly supports docks, /sys/class/switch/dock/state will be 2 when a cardock is attached
Samsung Car Home sends the proper intents to Samsung's framework to change the dock audio routing. If you've tried Samsung Car Home and its dock audio routing isn't working - you're SOL on Touchwizz firmwares.

Projector for I9000

Hello guys,
I have been searching but couldn't find anything, do you know if there is any way I could connect my Galaxy S to a projector? Like a dock in which you put the phone and it has a projector?
Or any other means of connecting a projector to the galaxy s?
Thanks in advance!
Just buy a tv-out cable and connect it to your projector using RCA.
maybe this can help

I bought this one some time ago for my 5800 but works ok with my I9000. You can use it with stock ROM but I've managed to make it work in CM9 too (with the help of the "Galaxy S Settings" app).

does tv out work on cm10?

[Q] 3.5 mm TV out cable

Obviously I have a Samsung Galaxy S 4G. I'm running a custom rom, the valhalla final. I recently purchased a tv out cable from samsung. It doesn't work on any tv I have. Is it because the tv's I own are older? Or does it have something to do with my rom? If this is the case can anyone suggest a rom whrere tv out works? Please help me!!
Did you go to display settings and turn on the TV out option? If so and it still doesn't work, it may be a TV issue. I've been able to use it on all the TV's I've tried.

You need to switch the yellow (video) input with the red (audio) input when connecting to TV.

I've actually found that only applies to certain TV's for some reason. It's weird. But good point, I forgot about that.

Typically this would be reversed, meaning it would depend on the cable used. The phone sends the video signal on the same output.
I tried any color combination possible. NOthing work. My guess so far is the tv that stoned yoda was talking about. And yes, to answer your question, I chcked tv out. I get a bad picture with static and stuff. By the way, after thinking about it, the switching the cables wont work. That only applies if you don't buy the samsung cable, which I did. The samsung cable has a converter in it. Samsung switched the terminals to give you the illusion you had to buy from them. So I guess Im gonna find a newer tv and try it.....stoned yoda do you run a custom rom?
Mine work on 15 year old anolog television. How much older could your tv be?

The bluetooth problem:

Could anyone who understands the inner workings of the CM and chopsticks crews shed some light on the bug resolution process.
I'm particularly interested in the bluetooth audio problems when making or receiving a call on the cars BT system. Seems it's wide spread and discussed on many threads but I've never seen it mentioned outside of forums like XDA and other Android user forums. Do you think it is on their list? Can someone post a link to a bug reporting site. I have bugzilla but I think thats for the AOKP roms .
Nobody?

If there was a fix it would be widely known already. From what roger_n posted in the Paranoid Android thread (I think it was that one) the issue is in audio routing, not BT audio, and needs to be fixed by a core CM dev, as it's not skyrocket specific.

So the fact that it's been around so long is because these core CM devs are super busy..or are they even aware there IS a problem, or is it just low pri.
I can't speak for the devs, but I do believe it's a time issue, not that they don't know about it.

Well here's hoping they find the solution soon. I'm a little concerned about a work-around I've heard about where you turn off the blue tooth and then back on after the initial connection....Very dangerous while driving. And costly too. Here In B.C. there's a $175 fine for fiddling with your cell phone while driving.

Most likely a low priority, as there is not a Samsung released JB rom for the Skyrocket.

I know it's lame, but what I ended up having to do in this issue was to even before I moved out of park I would disconnect and reconnect my BT. Often times though I found that just switching off the car radio (BT enabled Parrot Rythm-N-Blu), remove the face plate, count to 15 and put the face plate back on then turn the radio back on would do the "trick."

I can pull down the menu and toggle BT easier than I can dial a number while driving...and yes, Ontario has the same fines.
aii for the last time just use a different rom. im using JB official by CM9 for skyrocket - stable version 2.
it's no cm10 but full BT car audio talk the works!!! it works, end of story cm9 SOLD!!!

There's already similar posts on this. CM10 doesn't have the fix yet, if you want a working BT grab the official CM9 stable version - I've reverted back to as I have the same issue as you ie: car BT is a big deal for me.

HDMI For Sensation

Hey I'm looking to get my phone screen to show up on my tv and i was just curious if this HDMI cord is compatible with our sensations, let me know, thanks
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Micro-HDMI-M...=US_Video_Cables_Adapters&hash=item20c237ece0
Don't think so
What you need is a MHL cable or a craddle that includes it
I bought one from a seller in EBAY... and it worked flawless.
It's a craddle from KiDiGi, you can find it in it's home page. Can't post it here because of the rules of the forum
:good:
Just remember that a MHL cable needs power to function
Sorry to bug but could you perhaps pm me a cheap good one, so I know what I'm looking for exactly, greatly appreciated
Sent from my HTC Sensation using xda premium
Any MHL adapter should work... I bought a cheap one off eBay and it works great.
Has anyone used MHL with a de-sensed ROM? For example I am running Elegancia 3.6 with Nova launcher. Should it work ok and will the screen rotate to landscape on my TV? Just wanted to check, as any videos of MHL that I have seen for the Sensation show portrait orientated Sense launcher.

Just to update, went ahead and ordered an MHL cable from ebay (under £5) and it works great. Didn't work with my 40" Samsung as its nearly 5 years old, but worked with my smaller led tv.

Be carefull wenn using cheap MHL-adapters in a moving vehicle.
The switching between 2G and 3G network can cause serious interference (white snow/flickering)..

Thanks for the tip, but I doubt it will make it outside of my house!
No problem.
I'm using one in my car with my Appradio (Pioneer SPH-DA100). Found out the hard way...
If (IF!) you're getting any interference at home, try putting network-settings in HSPDA-only.
You'll probably just fine, but maybe this info is of any use to someone else who reads it.

It is a beautiful system IF you use ARLiberator. That app lets you mirror the full phone to the radio with touchscreen!

I have a slightly odd list of needs from an android tab and was wondering if the tf700 will meet them;
line in recording of audio
usb for cat5 adapter https://sites.google.com/site/bobjgear/USB-Aapter
optionof decent keyboard dock
rootable
decent screen and manufactor rom updates
im interested in the cat5 especially as i cant use wifi at work, sadly so my options are limited...
thanks for your help and feedback, hows this tab without the keyboard?
cheers, andy

The screen is matched only by the Retina display. Best Android screen on the market. We've had 4 or 5 updates so far, including JB as one of the first non-Google companies.

I have some friends that work for the government and their in the same boat as you. They aren't even allowed to use wireless when their traveling and it's available.
Thanks for this, sounds good. Only thing left to work out is line in then i guess, if someone could test this for me it would be really helpful. Its the last piece of the puzzle i think.
One other question, i take it the only "pairing" the tablet does with the keyboard is just being plugged in? The reason i ask is that if i buy a couple of tablets and keyboards (me and the mrs) can we just swap the keyboards round without any pairing faff?

As far as I know, you can interchange the docks. There's a driver for it installed in Android from the start. There's no personalized settings or anything stored in the dock itself. Plug and Play.

If you are located outside the US in Europe this would be your answer.
If you're a US user then your stuck with the complex USB adapter scenario it seems.
perfect, that actually looks just what im after, simple easy and with cat5 in built. shame it doesnt have line in then it really would be ideal!
edit: just need to find someone that will actually supply it to me now!
