I'm using the Desire as music player in mine auto. It's connected via aux to the stereo and works well, but when I connect the usb car charger begin a loud noise...that's connected directly with the car motor, because more high are the rpm and more is loud this noise
What I can do for solve this problem?
Same thing here, it has always been this way even with my old Nokias, HTCs, MP3 players... it's an interference you can't suppress, while charging and using an audio cable to AUX IN.
ps. I'd really like to be proven wrong by someone else who finds a solution for me, either!
By the way, how do you handle hands-free? You hear callers voices but you have no mic to speak in so they can't hear you.
Do you know any way to use Desire's mic as input AND 3.5mm-audio-out as output?
You need a noise filter! Google "car stereo noise filter", thye're cheap.
I dont get this, but I used to in my old car.
Its easy, you need a noise supressor on the line - what you are hearing is alternator whine (a whine that changes in pitch with the RPM speed on the car).

You need a "ground loop isolator", get one cheap with the connections you require from ebay.

Doens't exist a car charger that includes this "ground loop isolator"?
hey guys,
my One S has buzzing noise coming from the headphone jack, and this problem is pretty annoying especially when it's connected to my car stereo. I thought it might be just mine, but it seems like this is a common issue.
i found this video on youtube. I have the exact same buzz from my One S, though perhaps not as accentuated as in this video.
seems like the One X has this problem as well. found this thread at the One X board http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1720212
is this a grounding problem in the headphone jack? Beats Audio? what do you guys think?
I've always had this problem with more than one phone. If you charge the phone via USB adapter from the car battery, it gets 10x worse.
This problem only happens when sound is being played back, so when music/video/game sound kick in, it stops. Do you get that noise when sound is being played back?

The buzz is only audible when nothing is playing. Like in that video, when I stop playing music it will be silent for about 2 seconds and then the buzz kicks in again.
I didn't have this issue with other phones
I don't have any buzz, I double checked just to make sure.
Although it might be my headphones, the output is probably not strong enough to play the sound.
It's probably being heard in your car (or in the youtube video) because the output is being amplified.
I'm having the same issue with YouTube and Pandora.

you're right. the issue isn't as noticeable through earbuds. i think that's why many people are saying they don't have this issue. It's still bad though.
I don't know why HTC messed up this part when no other phones seem to have this issue. Makes me sad.
If it's easy to reproduce for you guys, I'd definitely be pushing for warranty replacement.
I do not have this problem at all. On my cheap pair of headphones or on my expensive one. No hum or sound.
the buzz is there, and it also was on my Desire.
Not when playing tho, only when connected and not playing. Not too annoying, always thought it was supposed to be like that.
And no, I have never heard it through ear buds or phones, only when connected to home stereo or car stereo, and if charged through cig-lighter-outlet it amplifies further...

It doesnt effect headphones, only when the sound is amplified. Like when you play music in your car.
Simply because that sound alone is not enough to drive the headphones.

Whether its plugged in to a car or home stereo, its still using the output from the headphone jack. The power output from the jack is the same either way.
I plug mine in to the aux jack of my car stereo daily, and I have no buzz or hum. Do you have your phone plugged in to a power source at the same time? That buzz is usually caused by crosstalk from a poor quality power source.
Or, as I said earlier, it may just be a bad phone.

Well my phone doesnt do it in my headphones. I can't test in car, no aux input.
What I was saying is that, of its buzzing in your car but not on your headphones its because the sound level at which the buzz is at isn't enough to drive your ear buds. But when the car stereo amplifies it its easily driving your car speakers.

Well I use the headphones that came with my old Sensation with my One S now. So in the past few days they were quite iffy...worked for a few seconds and stopped, control buttons stopped working, etc. And now they just stopped working with my phone completely now. However, other headphones work with my phone, and the headphones work with other devices. My solution was to use small headphone thingy (extender I believe?) and they work fine (besides the control buttons not working). So I need some help with finding the issue here.
EDIT: To clarify the question, I'm asking why the headphones work with everything but my device unless I use the extender thing.

This is the thing I used to get them working again. Still can't figure out what the issue was with.

You're not the only one with wired headphone issues. Seems like the one s has a sensitive jack -maybe the contacts are slightly prone to bending. When you use that extension cable not only should the buttons not work but neither should the mic. Does rotating the headphone plug in the jack help at all? If so, you might have a slight bend in the plug.

i'd say try to find one with two rings, or like my aux cable it has three on one end and two on the other. it's strange but works perfectly
I find headphones with mics or controls die within days. I'm using a cheap pair of monoprice in ear buds now and they've lasted for months.

Ok, that information is either lacking context or completely false. Each ring separates the contact areas for functions. Left speaker, right speaker and Mic/controls. If there is only one ring, the sound will be mono, 2 rings is either stereo or mono with a mic, depending on ring locations. Three is stereo with a Mic or stereo with another type of input. The circuit is designed to ground the other channels when they are not separated. If you plug in a 2 ring jack for stereo headphones, the icon in the status bar will show headphones. A three ring jack for stereo with a Mic will show an icon of headset with a Mic on them (like a pilot's). When a channel is unused it gets grounded by the circuit to the common. The spacing for ring locations is standardized. Make sure the headphones are seated correctly.
You can try to play with them to see if the headphones are following the standards by partially inseting them. When not fully inserted, only one speaker will work. My guess is that the headphones are not seating fully and causing issues. Either they are bottoming out before the contacts make full contact, or they are hitting the phone case preventing them from making good contact.

Tonight I made my first accessory purchase at the local Verizon store... as their prices have always been pretty bad, but I have a military discount of 15%, so I bit the bullet and purchased an iBolt cradle system. If you haven't seen it, there is a review in the accessory section, it's pretty spot on, but this important update is for those of us who don't have A2DP streaming in the car, and are forced to use the AUX IN jack.
Long story short, when using this dock, you have the option of sending the sound thru your micro USB port or out the phones speaker in back. This dock comes with a nine foot long cable that has micro USB at one end, and regular USB and a 3.5mm audio jack at the other. This beautiful setup allows you to not touch the evil headphone jack (trump card) on the phone, but rather it lets you the phone play music out the USB connection while retaining Bluetooth phone connectivity thru your cars Bluetooth connection! (while charging)
Silly that I had to buy a $32 device to get functionality that the AT&T version of our phone has natively... but at least it's fixed!
Not trying to be a jerk or anything, but what is the advantage of playing music through the USB instead of bluetooth? I actually like the BT option - plays music but pauses when a call come in and lowers the volume for GPS directions. Works great all at the same time...

There's a large portion of G3 owners who do not have bluetooth streaming (A2DP). Just because you have bluetooth phone connectivity does not mean you have bluetooth streaming. We are forced to use the aux in jack in the car to listen to music. I think a large portion of S3 owners simply tried to use the headphones jack on the phone... But if you do that, you cannot use bluetooth. Every sound is routed thru the headphones jack. You cannot toggle this.
So, using the iBolt cradle, witch ports the sound out via usb instead of the headphones jack, I am able to retain my cars bluetooth functionality.
Side note, not sure if you know this, but the sound quality of bluetooth streamed music is pretty bad compared to a cabled connection.

I'd recommend this if you don't have BT streaming: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10827&cs_id=1082704&p_id=9472&seq=1&format=2
That combined with a USB car charger to keep it charged at all times would maybe be a nice way to solve your issue for ~$30
Note: I don't own the product, but the reviews are good and it seems it would just be nice to have.

A day after I purchased the iBolt I received this little gadget in the mail from ebay.
USB Bluetooth Adapter
For under $10 it gives you the same A2DP bluetooth audio streaming. But, the difference is it doesn't sound nearly as good for the lower end of the spectrum. But, in a pinch it's awesome, and for the price, you can't beat it. I have it as a backup for now.
I took about 30 min and hid the iBolt cabling today. I like the fact that I moved the cradle to the top left of the windshield, away from the center console. Will post some pics later today of the install.
I am surprised at how easy the phone is to use with my left hand, from the steering wheel. Retaining the bluetooth functionality, specificallly my integrated microphone, really makes this work around worth every penny. Hope it helps someone else!
Oh well now I understand. Thanks for clarifying. Of course I didn't mean any offense.

Sweet, I was contemplating a bluetooth to 3.5mm for my car because of this issue, but this might be a better solution. Looks like we might have the same exact setup soon including the mini cooper :good:
I-bolt rocks. Bought one the other day. Search for best price. Down in the low to mid $30 range now depending on shipping and coupons.
Could anybody solve my problem? My car doesn't have a usb port so I cant use the iBolt to play music through it. I use the cassette player to audio jack and use bluetooth talk through my car speakers. Is there a solution to use bluetooth while using the audio jack?

Yes. I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner, but on anther board, someone brought this up and it works, albeit ghetto'ish.
Mount the phone somewhere in the car where you can speak towards the mic. Plug the cassette tape adapter into the headphones jack. When a call comes in, just answer the phone keeping the headphone jack in use, and the sound will come thru your stereo, but the mic you will be using is the one on the phone. Talked to multiple people who all heard me just fine. (even with the mic pointed downwards!)

The cable is exactly the right length to mount the ibolt anywhere in the car, hell I think we could mount it on the rear window, lol! There is space behind the base of the center console where you can tuck away any extra cable you have before you route the cable to the jacks. I decided to use an add on 2.1a USB car charger (cig lighter adapter) vs the cars internal USB as I don't think the MINI USB pumps out anything more than 450 mA (1\4 what the adapter puts out I bought seperately)

Does that require a custom Recovery and/or ROM, perhaps? I'd like to keep things relatively stock for now, though am OK with tweaks. Plus, the iBolt looks convenient to use in my car.

I know I can do that but I want to use the bluetooth in my car to make calls(my car doesn't have bluetooth audio only calls). When I use the headphone jack to make calls people say their voice echoes back but if I use the cars bluetooth its fine.
I need more volume from my phones bluetooth music streaming so I can hear it in my car. My new car is much noiser and using a samsung hs3000 to the aux , songs on the phone are only about 50% as loud as cd's or the xm radio from the car reciever.
I've tried modding the phone with several ICS roms and JB mods and had some success with 4.04 and kingbeatz, but not enough.
I'm currently running pac rom with kingbeats and volume + but that only effects the headphone jack. It sounds fantastic though.
Anyone have a bluetooth receiver suggestion? I can't find output specs on any of them.
I'm using the GROM-USB2 + the BT thing from grom audio.
But I have to ask, why do you need one if your stereo already has an AUX entry? Just plug directly your phone to the AUX.
My car's aux connection is located in a compartment where you rest your arm in between the seats, not on the front of the radio's head unit. You can't close the compartment if you have the wire coming out and its not conveniently placed. Bluetooth takes care of that.

Splitting it would most likely require more time and patience than the average audiophile is will to commit. Rerouting is easy enough as long as your OK with taking the in and tracing it back. If it's another 3.5 male at the deck then just unplug and replug. If the out is hardwired you are still going to have a lot of teardown to get the in released. That just leaves a hole that is pretty obvious to any potential owner in the future. With a male to male cable and a drill you can put it anywhere you want with minimal fuss. All the original components are left intact except for a 1/4" hole or two.

But seriously, if you don't have Bluetooth built into the radio, in my experience, you will have a bad time.
Bluetooth volume issue solved.
I was able to solve my problem with fiio E11 portable headphone amp. No buzz and it actually warms up the sound I am getting from my phone with the built in amp and EQ settings.
The only downside is can't change while being in use and my car's cigarette ports turn off with the car, so I can't listen and charge while driving. I'm looking for battery pack to keep in the car to remedy that so I don't have constantly take it out of the car.
