Does anyone know how to get the audio for phone calls to go through the car speakers using the iBolt car dock?
The audio for everything except phone calls goes though the usb connection to the aux port in my car and works beautifully, but when I make/receive a phone call, it changes to speakerphone.
I know I could run another wire from the headphone jack, but that seems silly when all the other audio goes through the USB connection just fine.
Currently I am rooted and running the latest JB leak for my Verizon GS3, but I had the same problem on stock ICS as well.
I tried the app called "Setting Profiles", but I could not get that to help any. I also tried manually turning off the speakerphone, but then I heard nothing.
Thanks for the help!

Silly samsung did not implement phone calls through micro usb. Idk why they would allow audio out theough micro usb but not calls. I've tried over 5 roms to see if any work, sadly non do.

Hello all. I got my TP two days ago and I love it. Problem is, I have a 3.5 mm headphone adapter w/ charging USB on it and no one can hear me when it is plugged in. I use this to listen to my music to/from work in my car (my car stereo has a Aux-In). I have a dashboard mount that I put the TP in to keep it steady. When I answer a call, obviously I can hear them, but they can't hear me. However, this used to work when I had the Vogue...Instant speaker phone. This would be such a pain if HTC decided to somehow disable the phone microphone with this adapter plugged in.
Any suggestions?
I've got the same problem. Is it possible to ensure mobile calls go thru bluetooth?
Ive tried every setting and looked every where and cant figure out how to get audio when i get a phone call using the 3.5 jack connect through the usb. Any having same problem or a fix? I get music and everything else ive tried but calls always go to speaker phone and not my car audio.

How do you get music to work with the car dock? I didn't have any luck.

Go into settings then dock settings and click the second option that says output to external speakers.
I know I hate that! That's the whole point of having it play though the radio.
I hope someone can figure it out, because it doesn't make any sense the way it works now.
Might have to stick to using my bluetooth.
It works great for this!
yeah, it seems that the only way to do it is by using the top 3.5" jack on teh phone itself...seems like a silly oversight
Also did anyone else notice music sounds like crap compared to the jack on the phone? Less bass and just not as full sound.
This is my first post here im XDA. So I figured I would contribute like many here that make this forum a great place. I can confirm that the audio out does work using the jack on the car mount. When the car docking screen pops up, you will need to press the phone shaped icon and that will switch the audio to come out to the external speakers. There is no need to have the 3.5mm cable attached to the phone, just the mount.
Here is a pic of the car mode screen.

Edit: I tried to post the screenshot but I am not allowed yet since I am fresh to the forums.
Edit: I just reread the OP post and tested out the in call audio and it does not come out through the speakers either. My apologies for jumping the gun.

I had something odd happen the other day, I sometimes pair my phone with my car via bluetooth if I'm expecting to use it. I also use the 3.5mm jack to play music through the auxiliary in on the car (I have a USB port in there but a lot of my music is flac, which my car doesn't support). I noticed the other day though if I use both at the same time the music will stop and the call comes through the car, but there's no audio. It doesn't come through my car speakers via bluetooth, I guess it might through the aux cord, but I can't exactly test it at the same time haha. I think these phones just get confused as to what they're supposed to do with audio.
SOLVED: It was the cable.
Searching around, this seems to be a common problem with a variety of phones, some it works, some don't. My old G1 worked flawlessly in this manner.
Whenever I have a pair of headphones or my auxiliary cable for my car plugged in, the internal mic doesn't work when I receive a call. This sucks, because if I'm listening to music in my car and get a call, I have to remove the phone from the window mount and unplug the cable while driving down the road, or fiddle around with the power button to switch the phone to speaker mode (screen goes black after answering a call with the cable plugged in).
Is there a solution for this other than spending $180 on a bluetooth integration kit for my car (was looking at the Parrot MKi9000 or KlaT7)? I'm a little scared of this route considering the problems people have been having with A2DP on Gingerbread. I'm hoping the official Gingerbread release (if it EVER releases) will fix the A2DP and/or this issue. I am running Froyo right now, but am eagerly anticipating the official Gingerbread release.
Thoughts?
That does not match my experience with the stock ROM. I listen to Pandora in my car via an FM transmitter that is plugged into my earphone jack, and I receive calls all the time without having to go into speakerphone mode: the caller's voice comes through the car loudspeakers, and they hear me just fine. I just ran an experiment with a pair of earphones (no microphone) plugged in and called myself from my landline and I definitely heard it loud and clear over the landline phone when I blew into the microphone hole in the bottom of the G2x.
That definitely is odd. The phone is rooted along with faux's kernel, but I have the stock ROM. When I have the cable plugged in no one hears me on the other side, and voice dialing doesn't work either. Is your G2x all stock?

Yes, completely stock and unrooted.
Have you tried it with a different cable or with plain vanilla earphones?
No I haven't tried a different one yet. I'll try that when I get home tonight. Thanks for your input!

My guess is its the cable. Probably something with the connector is tricking the phone into thinking it has a microphone built in, just like when you plug in a headset it mutes your handset mic.
You are both correct. Just tried a different cable and it works great.
The cable I was using was the one included with the T-Mobile Window Mount Kit. I was using it because I have the Speck case and the original one I bought from MonoPrice.com was too thick to fit through the hole. The T-Mobile cable was skinnier and just barely fit. I took the phone out of the case and tried the one I bought from MonoPrice and it worked perfectly.
Thanks for the help!
Now I need to decide whether or not to bore out the hole larger on a $30 case. As most reviews have stated, it does scratch very easily and is very difficult to get the phone out. Anyone know of any other cases that have a larger diameter hole for the headphone out?
I'm currently running cm7 1.5.2, whenever I plug in this external speaker I have it's super quite (media volume all the way up). It sounds fine on my I pod so I know it's not the speaker.. I think my problem is that the phone sees it as headphones thus making it a little bit more quite when in reality I want it louder.. Anyone know of a fix or workaround?

I had a similar issue when using my TB with either an external speaker or a cassette adapter. I think my problem was that the TB thought it had a headset/mic combo plugged in and tried to use the external speaker as a mic also...
I bought this device (a TRRS splitter) which separates the mic and speaker into two 3.5mm female aux ports and plug my speaker/cassette adapter into one of the ports (green). Works great.

Hope that helps.
I'm using the Infuse dock and while I really am enjoying using it, the lone issue I have is that all phone calls are audible only via the internal phone speaker rather than the car speakers (via 3.5mm). I know that the Infuse dock was (obviously) not made for the S3 so I don't know if it's an issue only with this dock or if this is how Samsung intended it to be with all docks. Would it be possible for a dev to enable this function in a custom ROM or other method? Thanks very much.
I don't have a dock but quick question. When you navigate to Settings/Dock, is "Audio Output mode" selected?

It is. The audio (music/videos) sounds perfect through my car speakers using a 3.5mm cable but actual phone calls are only audible via the phone speaker. Thanks very much for the reply.
Bump to see if this is feasible. Thanks.

i run my phone via a no name mount (moslty just a holdeR)
& a male/male headphone cable plugged from the phone into my headunit & it plays everything (pandora, calls, Svoice etc) all via the car speakers.
not sure what your issue is.
when you plug in the headphone cable, does the notification area say "headphones connected?"

Thanks for the reply. The headphones connected message does appear and while all my music is routed perfectly through my car speakers, it's only phone calls that play solely through the internal phone speaker. The difference between our setups is that my male/male headphone cable goes from the dock's integrated 3.5mm audio out jack to my head unit rather than from the phone's 3.5mm audio out. I'm hoping there's a way to get it to work without having to plug the cord directly into the phone as that would take away the advantage of having a dock with integrated audio. Thanks again.
I am having the same problem music goes through the usb port but calls do not. It is very frustrating. Hopfully they will fix it for CM 10.

That is something else entirely

My understanding is that Ice Cream Sandwich doesn't have USB audio output standard, but that Samsung adds it into their phones. So, having call audio not route through the USB sounds like an issue to send to Samsung.
