I called htc tonight to find out why I can't listen to my music on my phone through the aux cable(it comes out through the phones speaker), and she told me I need a 3.5 mm aux cable that is certified to work with the one s. Does anyone know what she's talking about? Is there a special audio cable I need? Thank you.

I use a normal 3.5 mm aux cable in my car...no special "certified for the one s" one.

Thank you. I've tried 3 different ones with 2 different one s and the sound comes out of the one s speaker not through the car speakers like it should.

Are you on a 4.2 ROM?
Sent from my HTC One S using xda app-developers app
No. Completely stock. 4.0.4. If I plug headphones in it works fine just won't play through car speakers. Am I missing a setting somewhere? Thank you.

No it should just detect it, I would say its something wrong with your cars aux input if you've tried multiple aux cables and devices.

Problem with that is, I've tried it in 3 different cars with 3 different cables with 2 different one s. Really bizarre.

Then it's your phone. Take it to your carrier and ask them to change it. Are you running a custom ROM? That might also be the issue.
Thank you. I've already exchanged the phone once and it happens on my other one s also. We have 2 t-mobile one s and it happens with both off them and the one I replaced. 3 different cables, 3 different cars, 3 different one s. And I am on stock Rom android version 4.0.4.

Default music player
Hello, I am using the default music player. I have tried tune in radio and the same thing. I will try google music today and see if there's any change. Does anyone have the brand of they cable they use and I can get one and try it. My aux cables work with other phones including Galaxy s3 not not sure why they wouldn't work with these phones. Thank you.

The problem isn't the cables if they work for other phones.
The problem is either hardware, or you.
I don't see how your phone works with headphones, but not with an aux cable. It's the same thing.

For my phone even if I just plug in the aux to my phone and leave the other end unplugged the audio goes through the aux.

Still nothing
I spoke with a nice woman from T-Mobile and she said two people she works with have the One S and she is going to take them to her car and try them both and get me the firmware version and the brand of Aux cable she is using, I bought a new Aux cable to try in the meantime and still no sound through car speakers. I tried all 3 cars, I then took our old MyTouch 4g and tried that and it worked in all 3 cars. Really strange issue. We'll see what she comes up with, otherwise she says I can return the phones for another brand but I really like this phone and would like to keep it. Thank you everyone who responded and I'll keep you posted, In the meantime, keep the suggestions coming, Thank you.

You can manually force the audio to come out the aux using an app. It would get annoying, but it should work.

Never called
So, It's now Wednesday evening and the nice woman from T-Mobile never called back.She was supposed to call Tuesday morning. I can see why they are bottom on the customer satisfaction ratings. I'll have to live with the fact that I can't play music through my car stereo I guess. Thank you all for the suggestions. Really disappointed with T-Mobile right now. Been a customer for 13 years and I notice how each year the support gets worse.

Ok maybe I'm missing something here but do you have a cover on your phone? Maybe the headphones plug all the way in but not your cable? I use monster and griffin brands and both work fine.
Edit:Also if you have been with T-Mobile for a long time (I've been with them for 12 yaers) then when you call tell them you want to talk to customer loyalty team they will hook you up.

Thanks for the suggestions. I do not have a cover on either phone and the aux cable is as far in as possible. I'll have to try customer loyalty and see off that works. So far nothing. I don't know what the odds are of the phones not working on one of 3 aux cables and 3 different cars, but I'd say it should work on at least one of them. All of my other phones have worked on all 3. I'll try calling again. Thank you.

Hoping someone can help me with this.... Can I listen to pandora via usb connection on my car stereo? It has a usb port and I can use to mount as mass storage device, but wondering how to/if I can play pandora through it
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
As soon as you use mass storage the os becomes unavailable. You might try this adapter. I've never used it so I have no idea if it will work but it seems like it should. Also do you have bluetooth on the deck?
http://www.amazon.com/StarTech-ICUSBAUDIO-USB-Audio-Adapter/dp/B000NPKGGK/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8
No bluetooth, the deck is a viole years old and the aux input doesn't work anymore. maybe I'll check this out
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda premium
It says it's for computers but I don't see why it wouldn't work. And for 14 bucks it's worth a shot. Or you could just get a new deck. lol Good Luck.

It can be a blast combined with voodoo sound on AntonX's kernel.

I bought a blubridge mini-jack Bluetooth adapter for my vehicle since it does not have Bluetooth. I can get the One X to recognize the Bluetooth (TX2) but each time it says it can't communicate with the device. I have successfully paired my phone in my wife's car with its built in Bluetooth (Mazda cx-9) w no problems..I've heard of Bluetooth issues with the HOX but not sure if its my phone or the adapter..it has decent reviews and haven't heard of issues...
Thanks in advance if anyone has info to share..

Hello,
I just switched over to the HTC One S T-Mo version from the GS2. Phone is great has its pluses and minuses over the GS2 however I am having one little issue with my device.
Whenever I try to use audio out into my car stereo it does not work it plays through the phone speaker. I was wondering if there was a setting for that on the phone? I looked on everything option I could think of. At first I thought it was the cable, but I tested it on my friends GS2 and my Ipod as well and still works flawlessly. Then I thought it was the app( Google play) but I also tried with pandora and youtube and still no dice.
I used the search on here but came out empty, just wondering if you guys knew anything about this?
P.S. I tried two HTC ONE S's already both same thing.
Thank You
Not really and answer, but I tried using mine as well through aux input in my car, and same issue. I got a replacement from T-Mobile because the tech at the help desk said it shouldn't do that. I've tried 2 different cables in 2 different cars and same result. Sound through One S speaker. Really annoying. I had the Sensation which worked fine but not sure why this phone will play through the headphones but not through car speakers.

I agree that's how it should work. When I have my head phones in, I get sound through the head phones, but when I use it through my car stereo(I've tried 2 cars, 2 different cables) the sound comes through the one s speaker not the car speakers. All my other phones have worked the right way but this continues to play through phone speaker. Weird. This is my 2nd one s. I returned the 1st because of this very issue. Thank you.

Auxiliary Mode
My car stereo has an AUX mode that I have to manually switch it to when I want to play music from my phone through my car speakers. I noticed that some devices will switch my stereo into that mode, where as my One S will not. I suggest that you check and see if there is a way to manually enter this AUX mode from the stereo as that may be something that you never noticed because its been doing it for you this whole time.
Thank you. I have manually put it into aux mode and still one s speaker. I am going to try it in my Toyota today and see if it works. Hopefully not 0 for 3. I just wasn't sure if there was a setting on the one S I'm missing. Just seems weird that it's my 2nd one s and 2 different cars and 2 different wires.

There is an app on the market that will force the sound through the auxiliary output. I forget the name, you could try that.
So it works for headphones?

That's the strange thing. Headphones work fine. Even the beats comes on. Weird issue.

Try SoundAbout from the market. While it's not an official fix it should get your desired result.
If it works with headphones then I don't think your phone is the problem, it just doesn't make any sense. Set the radio to AUX, start the music on the phone and plug it while its playing, see if that works. I am at a loss.
I did that as well,I could hear the static "pop" through the car speakers when I plug in the aux jack, but it just continues to play through the phone speaker on all 3 cars. Thank you.

I guess if the car stereo has a USB connector for flash drive with MP3s on it, seen it on Hyundais for example.

Exactly Sync in Fords vehicles etc. Most newer after market head units today also have USB inputs, in fact most head units $99 and up now have a USB port built right into them.

Just got this accessory from HTC and it doesn't work on stock rom but works flawlessly on CM10. For those that don't know what this is, its a Bluetooth dongle that transmit your music wirelessly to your factory radio in your vehicle.
I followed the instructions to the T. Can't get it to work on stock and Axiom rom. The crazy thing is A2DP works with my bluetooth ear piece and transmit music fine just not the dongle. So i narrowed it down to something to do with a sound file on stock/Sense that is missing or not working properly.
Does anyone else have this accessory and problem?
Sent from my HTC VLE_U using Tapatalk 2
Decided to try again today with different methods in connecting my phone to the dongle. Still no go. Below i have attached a logcat rather long, but that how it is haha. So if anyone would like to look at it and try and help, it would be highly appreciated.

I bought the HTC Stereo Clip off ebay and it works for me. I specifically bought it for the aptx feature. The retail packaging was a bit beat up but the actual stereo clip was mint. I'm on stock tmo rom. I did not root and flash a custom rom since I do not know if there is something only found in the stock rom that enables the aptx feature. But then again there's no way to tell if the aptx is actually working but it sounds great.
I didn't get the StereoClip, but I got the Samsung HS3000 dongle which also supports aptX (and is about half the price). I did notice that the higher quality aptX codec didn't seem to work in non-Sense roms, and only seemed to work in Sense (running Virtuous Ville+ here).
Without aptX there's some definite high frequency filtering and dynamics compression going on. With aptX it's like I've got an audio cable plugged right into the headphone jack, it's fantastic.
This is the feature that's keeping me on Sense. As soon as AOSP/AOKP's got it I'll switch back, but for now I'm quite happy with this.
