my raptor FM modulator (the thingy that plugs into your cigarette lighter and plays music through your radio at a certain radio station) is not playing nice with my galaxy s3 with Cleanrom / SynergyROM
when I play...lets say....Pandora. I plug in the modulator...tune into the station, plug the aux cable into my galaxy s3..AND....I hear music!...for about .5 seconds. then it cuts off and plays through the speakers or just pauses. Sometimes I re-plug in the cable from the modulator and it works...sometimes it doesn't.
Now the strange thing is that..It works and plays through my radio fine when my S3 is at a low volume. [have to turn the car stereo to max to hear it] Too high of a volume (apparently slightly above half) and I hear a loud *bump* noise and the music stops. Is this a protection by samsung to cover their ass so no one blows their ears out? (since when I plug in the modulator..it reads it as a headset??)
It's not the modulator either. I had zero problems on my HTC Rezound running Newts One xXX Sense rom. This is only been happening on my S3. Is there anyway to avoid this problem?...it really does anger me when it doesn't want to play out of my car.
I have cleanrom on JB 4.1.2 with Ziggy kernel.

If I was in the same position, I would do a nandroid of my current setup so all my info is backed up and odin back to stock and try it from there. If on stock, it does the same thing, I would assume maybe its the aux cable or the phone. If it doesn't I would either assume its the rom or the kernel. I would then flash cleanrom with the stock kernel and try from there. If it works then its the kernel, if it doesn't most likely the rom.
Do you think it's the phone?.I'm pretty sure it did this on stock. What about the sound thing?

Folks,
This is probably a stupid question, but I own the car dock and a Samsung Fascinate... obviously. My question is the car dock only plugs into the microusb port but has a connector on the rear, and comes with a 3.5mm audio jack.
That being said when completely connected to the dock and radio it does not play audio except from the built-in speaker.
What is this about? Is there something I am missing? A setting somewhere or... ?
Thanks for the thoughts.
The 3.5 jack is "supposed" to work when android 2.2 (froyo) is released for the phone.
Too bad the software portion responsible for this can't be ported back to 2.1
Arrrggh.. I bought one too along with a desk dock. Only to find out it's useless. I'm returning them while I still can.

Thought i would chime in here.
I too am waiting/hoping for froyo to fix the 3.5 jack but in the mean time i just turn my phone over and insert it backwards into the car dock when i need the audio out and plug both the usb and the audio in.
It works for me to, at the least, buy me time until i can do right.
Come on froyo!!!

Easy fix...get a head unit that supports bluetooth and run your music through that. With hands free laws taking over everywhere it's not a bad move anyway. I've got that setup in my car and absolutely love it! Music is very clear and sounds great, not like radio transmitters. Since it's charging while playing you don't lose any battery life at all.
While I wouldn't call swapping out a head unit an "easy fix", I do second that comment that it is awesome and convenient to stream audio through bluetooth to the car.
Well,
2.2.1 is fully functioning and out now. The dock 3.5mm outputs work, and all in life is well. Be happy guys! PS: Go push the 2.2.1 leak (any of the versions, there are multiples!) onto your phone!
It does not void the warranty, if you have a hardware issue just use a windows PC and ODIN to jam the DI01 or DL09 stock unrooted load on the phone and your all set for warranty support/exchange. It takes 10 minutes to ODIN back to stock, easy as pie!
I have to second this. I initially just used the dock with the phone in backwards under 2.1, and directly plugged my USB and Audio leads directly into the phone. Since I flashed to 2.2.1 leak, it has been working wonderfully the way it's supposed to.
I really was pleased with the dock when I first got it, it's solidly built. Having to wait a short while for all of the features to work was a minor inconvenience to me, but now I'm really happy I stuck it out.
I am on DL30 right now with the car dock and the set up is still not doing audio through the audio out. To the people who are using it without a problems are you using the stock music player or a different player and is it working for calls, and audiobooks as well? For some reason I am having no luck wondering if it is.because.I don't use touchwiz apps.

Does this dock fit the phone with a case on?
The only ones that will work with a case are the universal ones that clamp on.

On DL30, I have to open the Car Cradle application, and if the phone is in the dock, a little 'speaker' toggle icon appears next to the 'Exit' icon, this will switch audio to the dock output. It doesn't auto-switch.
There are applications on the market that will auto-switch based on the phone activity, such as Tasker. All DL30 does is enable the ability to use the external audio connection on the dock.
Now, I don't use TW either, I use LauncherPro, so I'm not sure if TW will auto-switch or not. I'm betting it probably will, as previously only TW would auto-launch the Desk Cradle and Car Cradle apps when the appropriate dock was detected, in all other launcher frontends I've had to start the application manually or use apps like Tasker mentioned above that would detect the dock and launch the associated app and settings.
I've noticed that the audio out of the car dock is terrible. Anyone else?

As far as I know, you need the stock music player. This is because you need to have the Car Cradle app open or the sound will just play through your phone speaker. Also, the Car Cradle app has a speaker "button" that you will need to toggle.

You need the Car Cradle to toggle the external aux connection, but you are not limited to stock music players, etc, to utilize it. I have Google Maps/Navigation prompts running through it, as well as Subsonic for music playback. As long as I've launched the Car Cradle app and toggled the connection on, all audio that would normally be output by the rear speaker (as far as any audio that has been produced on my phone so far when docked) uses the external aux properly.
As far as sound quality goes, my sound has been very good so far. I have engine noise coming through the USB charger, but once that's disconnected, it's quiet and high quality. Now, once I get this noise suppressor connected to my power source, that engine buzz will go away for good.

Try plugging some headphones into the phone and listen to a song. Then plug into the car dock and listen to the same song.
Please let me know if you hear a difference. Thanks!

Not only. I just got SlipGrip case and it fits perfectly with OtterBox Commuter on. The only problem for me was suction cup which is big (3.5") so it didn't stick to my tomtom adhesive disk on the dashboard. But it holds to windshield very good. I can't post any links yet so you have to google it ("SlipGrip Car Holder For The Samsung Fascinate With Case")

Ok, I tested 5 different scenarios. In the Fascinate Car Dock with aux enabled, on an FM transmitter, and on three separate headphones: standard iPod earbuds, Klipsch in-ear headphones, and Sony studio headphones from my recording studio gear. I am on SuperClean 2.1, and used both the included Music app and Subsonic for playback on each scenario. For comparison, I also performed all scenarios on three other devices: an Archos 605, an iPod Classic, and an iPod Touch.
With all of that, I couldn't discern an audible difference between the Fascinate and the other devices tested in the corresponding scenario.
The reason I stopped using my Archos was because the Fascinate's audio was just as good, and with Subsonic negating the need to sync my media library, it really has become an almost perfect portable media platform for me. Now, if I could only get the aux on the car dock to work without the need for the cradle app, it would be perfect.
Hope this helps.

Oh, to add, obviously I didn't plug the other media players into the car dock, but I tested using the same 3.5mm aux cable that the car dock used for the Fascinate.

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?
So I plugged my brand new s3 into my garage speakers and I could no longer get past the lock screen.
I can adjust my volume but it wont let me do anything else.
I've tried Pandora and Spotify and they both do the same thing.
unplugging and replugging let my move around a little but then it froze up again.
anyone else experienced this?
I am using a lepai amp through the mini jack plug.
I thought this was odd.
it worked fine when I used the phone in the car but it wont work right in my garage.
any suggestions?
Assuming in your car your using a 1/8" cable, and if it works there, I think you already have solved your problem, and it's with your garage setup. Depending on what your using, some powered speakers have "hot" connectors that pre-amplify the signal before hitting the built in amp. Give some more info on what your using.

Lepai LP-2020A - to Dayton BR-652 speakers - With 1/8 mini plug to the rca inputs.
I don't believe the amp is sending out a hot signal, I don't know why it would.
I never had an issue with my captivate.
I understand that this is a isolated problem but what is the reason behind this? I should be able to plug this phone into anywhere that accepts the 1/8 plug.
My wifi signal seems to be weaker on my s3 then it was on my captivate in the same location. (sound is cutting out while streaming).
What is rca terminal are you hooked up to on the amp? Aux, video, phono, etc?

This is a stereo amp it only has a right and a left channel. it has a 1/8 jack and right/left rca inputs.
Im going to see if the mini plug input will work. but I just don't get why this would cause a problem when there was none before.
I can still return my phone I have a few more days. maybe I got a hold of a bad one or something?
So here is the scenario:
The car I drive has an audio cassette and I've had the car for about a year now and I've been using a cassette / headhone jack adapter to listen to music, handle calls, and be told where to go by navigation lady. Been through a touch pro 2, my touch 3g slide, sidekick 4g, and this one.
Music bumps properly with slight variations with the quality, I keep the system volume down to half or less to avoid strain on the speakers. No problems there. Phone calls on the other hand; I always turn down the volume on the stereo unit and knock the in-call phone volume down a couple more notches so the person on the other line doesn't sound like a banshee being smothered with a pillow ripping out my speakers.
All my prior devices had no issue after I found that proper balance of course. Unfortunately this device does not play nice at all with my car audio. Didn't matter if I were on stock or any of the different flavors of ICS posted. Any thoughts?

If I had to guess i'd theorize that either the deck or the adaptor has noise reduction built in magnetically which could be causing a problem with the output of the phone, no idea why it would, through the stereo... or your stereo has recently developed a dirty head or (insert term for spinning thing that turns the cassette wheels that I don't remember here).
Or... the plug on your adaptor is not contacting the jack properly due to its not having a microphone pin as well and THAT is interfering with the sound.

Went back inside and tried earbuds and they work fine. What is wrong? Is there a special cable needed? If the earbuds work on both phone and tab why not the aux cable?

No, not the car because as I mentioned, it works fine with same cable, same car and my phone.
However... somehow it's working now. I thought what the hell, I'll go out and try again, and it is working. I did notice that the volume out is super low and I have to turn my car audio up pretty loud. And also the jump down in volume on the Tab when you plug in the cable is significant, and I checked the settings and media volume was at the loudest. So I have to crank the volume again after plugging it in and crank the car volume as well. I had it working for 2 minutes straight and tried on video app, music app, google music app and TuneIn radio app and they all worked today.
So ShapesBlue, don't give up... try cranking up the volume and see if that's it or if second time works like for me. I did hear it for a bit last time so I don't think it was only the volume, but I def had to turn it up really loud, much more so than when I connect my phone.
YAY!
