[Q] Route Call Through Headphone Jack

I have tried searching for the solution to my problem with no luck.
I have a rooted Inspire 4G. With the stock radio and ROM, whenever I had my headphones or my 3.5mm audio cable plugged into my phone, I could use the headphones or my vehicle's speakers for phone calls (like bluetooth). I also could hear my notification sounds (text, email) through the headphones or speakers as well. Since I have rooted my phone and changed radios and ROMs, I no longer have this capability - the calls and notifications go through the crappy phone speakers. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem or noticed the difference.
FYI - I have checked the call settings (Settings->Call) and nothing helps. I have read about HAC/TTY settings from the stock ROM/radio, but these options don't show up in the Rom I am using. I was wondering if maybe those settings made the difference and if there was a ROM or a mod that can access those settings.
Any help or direction would be appreciated.

I've flashed many many roms and have never encountered that problem. By default, it should automatically switch to headphones once you plug in the jack.
I would suggest flashing a different rom ...such as the BB Mod rom or Absolution (both are aosp roms).
Or if you prefer the stock look with sense, try Cleardroid.
I believe any of these will solve your problems ...unless its maybe hardware related (bad jack) ?
If you decide to switch & try another rom...don't forget to wipe, so you can get started fresh.
Good Luck to you.

Yea I've flashed plenty as well and I've never run into this problem. Sounds are routed to whatever is plugged into 3.5 jack

Most likely is an issue with the ROMs because after I posted this, I flashed the Revolution HD 6.1.5 ROM (w/ the 12.62.60.27_26.13.04.19_M radio) and the notification/call sound is heard through the 3.5mm jack as in the stock ROM/radio. Previously I was using the CoreDroid 8.1 and GB 2.3.5 Sense 3.0 ROMs with two different radios (12.54.60.25_26.09.04.11_M2 and 12.59.60.26P_26.11.04.21_M).
So I can't exactly pinpoint what the cause was because I (stupidly) changed two items - though I could reflash one or the other with the new radio and see if that made a difference - but I would bank on the ROMs being the problem since the both of you have not experienced this problem with the ROMs you use.
Thank you both for your input.

Radio would have no effect on this. Sometimes you just have a bad installation. This is why myself and others always make sure people know how to properly wipe their phones and then tell them to re install before validating a problem as an actual bug.

Gizmoe, I understand that there are a lot of people who don't research and don't follow directions when flashing ROMs, so I can understand the tone of your comment. I actually do a full wipe every time I flash a ROM, upgrade or not. And before I posted this, I tried reinstalling and researching the problem. I admit that I am new to all this, so it was more of a lack of knowledge about how ROMs and radios work than ignorance because I try searching out the answer before posting.
Anyhow, I did determine the cause of my problem, and it was not ROM-related. It's actually my setup in my truck. Because I don't have an aux jack, I have to use an FM transmitter. My previous transmitter died a couple of weeks back, and I got a new (presumably better) one. I can adjust it between stereo and mono, and I had it on mono because of interference/static issues.
As I found out yesterday, having it on mono plugged into my phone, it will only transmit music and navigation to my stereo. Phone calls and notification sounds don't get transmitted. However, when I switch it to stereo, all sounds get transmitted to my stereo.
So problem solved - non ROM issue. Somewhat user error issue.

I wasn't doggin on ya . Although I can see how it could be read that way. It was late and I was responding to many threads. It was just a general statement to anyone reading, cause people have been getting fussy when I ask to clarify their install process so I can get the whole picture of exactly what they are doing. People seem so sure its a bug when in fact it was something they did wrong. Though that is not the case here and I can tell you get it a lot better than most people.

The slow USB transfer speeds with ICS... and JB too?

Anyone able to hint at whether or not we could finally get a proper fix for the incredibly slow USB transfer rates with ICS on the Nexus S when Jelly Bean arrives in the next few weeks (hopefully)?
I know the general advice is "Just reboot into CWM and do the transfers there..." but honestly that gets a bit frustrating. I bought Wifi File Transfer Pro during a sale for $.99 and it's functional but, even that's somewhat slow to me (average 3-6MB/s). I have no idea what Flash-RAM is inside this device, I'm guessing since the Nexus S is made by Samsung (even though it's 18+ months old now) and they'd more than likely use their own high grade Flash-RAM it should be more than capable of writing at close to that speed as well.
Under CWM's storage mode the transfers are in the 10-15MB range so that's good, but...
Has anyone ever actually discovered why the USB transfers are so horridly slow on ICS on the Nexus S, or is it a situation where most people just shrug their shoulders and say "That's how it goes..." and that's that?
Just curious... love the device, it's my new main one as I recently dumped my HD2 to pay some bills. If it's specifically related to a busted kernel (3.x) then there's nothing that can be done about it I suppose, unless someone at Google has some clue as to what's going on.
Sure would be nice to plug in and get the speed this device is capable of instead of plugging in, rebooting to recovery, going into CWM storage mode, doing a transfer, then rebooting back out into ICS again.
I know it's been asked before but there's never been an actual answer to why it's happening, let alone a potential fix for it.
If it IS an issue with the 3.x kernel(s), doesn't that imply that Jelly Bean won't do much to address it and we'll still be stuck in the slow lane?
Thanks...
EDIT:
Found this JB port from steven776 from the SDK: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28113909&postcount=258
Installed it and it's running fine but but but... nothing changed as far as the USB transfer rates are concerned. I know it's not the "official" build of JB coming for the Nexus S but, even so, this doesn't bode well for a fix for this issue once and for all.

Well, the slow transfer speed bothers me a lot too, but I never thought of transferring the file using CWM, so thanks for the tip :good:

I cant offer any magic solutions or explanation for why its slow but maybe you could clear up a couple of things:
1) are you using a USB 2.0 cable or is it possible that it is only a 1.0?
2) the devices you are connecting your phone too (i.e PC, laptop) are they USB 2.0 capable?
3) check to see if your operating system's power management settings and make sure that there isn't anything slowing it down there
If you feel any better these are the speeds that I get, no matter what ROM im using (steve's JB port included) and I too have been underwhelmed by it.

Well for me I'm connected to a USB 2.0 port, I have no issues regarding from power management as that should have no affect.
But writing anything to the phone its very slow like anywhere from 300kbs to 1MB/s. But copying/writing from the phone to PC is always going to be faster I'm getting on avg. 14 to 18MB/s.

That's also bother me a long time and can't find any solution yet.

Nexus S JB is still slow
Hi, I have just updated to the official Jelly Bean update and can confirm that the USB problem is still present. I think I had read somewhere that the problem is in the kernel?

Any fix for this yet? Still annoying to go into cwm to transfer big files.. Thanks.

Go to clockworkmod and use then mount USB storage, you will get about 4mb/s

I believe this has to do with the transfer protocol used and your Kernel. Which kernel are you using, are you stock, rooted, or romed, and have you played with the MTP/FTP settings?

MTP Works fine
Hi,
Using Marmite Kernel 7.1.4CM on CM10 and JellyShot 0.1 I noticed that MTP Transfer is actually a lot faster than USB Transfer.
I had the same issue with slow transfer on ics and jb. with MTP its gone.

[Q] Orthos Docking Problem

I saw a user ask this on the dev forum, but since I just decided to stop trolling and register, they do not allow me to post, although I have flashed a million roms, and if I can survive the Dell Streak, I can get around with my Skyrocket.
Anywho, I am noticing that when I connect my USB to the computer it does not allow me to connect the phone to the computer via USB to explore in there. My coworker is my partner in crime in the way of flashing and he has the same issue.
Is this an AOKP JB problem, is it just something with Majick's build? I have not had this issue with any of his or Sean's roms before. Also BT audio does not stream to my car receiver. In Majick's past builds it was fine same with Sean's, weird part it connects to stream music, and my deck recognizes my phone as an audio player, but its like a signal never gets pushed. This is not a huge deal since the phone works over BT at least and that is my biggest concern. Any help or a mod pushing this over to the Dev section would be greatly appreciated.

I have had that problem with other aokp Roms so I believe it's a aokp problem, but orthos connects to my computer fine, maybe aokp Roms are picky lol, I fixed the problem on other Roms by reinstalling the drivers

The problem's been reported on AOKP as well, and Autoplay might have something to do with it.
Are you getting a massive wakelock from MediaScannerService, by chance?

[Q] Jellybean Roms & Bluetooth

Hello,
I have had some issues with Bluetooth on jellybean ROM and not connecting to my radio correctly to play music from my phone it never seems to connect and send the music to the radio just stays on the phone and was wondering if anyone else had had similar issues. Bluetooth works the way it should when i go back to ICS Roms, when i get in the and the radio is on the music will switch from the phone to radio with out problem might take 30 sec or so but will switch over
thanks

I know on AOSP there has been numerous bluetooth issues with different devices. I'm not sure if its because it's AOSP or JellyBean. More than likely its the same problem you're running into. What ROM are you running? Scan thru it's thread to see if there are any fixes, if not ask in the thread describing the device you're trying to connect.

thanks for the reply .... the latest one i was using was CM10 ....right now im using SynergyROM and all is working ok .... yeah i tried to post in the rom i was having trouble with but im blocked from posting since i don't have enough post undender my belt i guess lol

Yeah, I didn't notice at first, I was on my phone. You need 10 posts to reply to a thread in the dev forums. It's not very hard to come up with 10 quality posts tho. There's so much general discussion.
I do know for a fact that CM10 was having issues with car bluetooth's along with other devices besides earpieces... it's the ROM I've been running and following. I didn't pay too much attention to the bluetooth problems tho as my earpiece works fine and I don't have a car to hook my phone up too lol.

yeah i just started using it more so now ive notice , about the only time i have ever use bluetooth

[Q] USB Audio, USB Host Mode (CM10)

I've recently moved from HTC sense to CM10 and couldn't be happier!! My only issue now is trying to get USB Host Mode working, and then getting a USB DAC working for audio out.
From what I understand HTC Sense based roms support USB Host Mode, bot not sure about CM10 (my OTG cable is in the mail, so I should be able to work this out for myself eventually).
The big issue is USB Audio mode. Looking around the SGSIII and Nexus 7 (with a small mod) among others support USB Audio, but can't find any details about CM10 on the HOXL. I'm assuming it probably doesn't, in which case, can anyone point me in the direction of how it can be enabled... (I'm a total noob with building android kernels, but an experienced software dev , so willing to try or test).
The AOSP request thread for this functionality is located at:
h t t p://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=24614&sort=-stars&colspec=ID%20Type%20Status%20Owner%20Summary%20Stars

https://github.com/cyanogenmod/andr...mmit/9a64b90c1230b0a6a91488244ef5f28ad807fb2e
That should get you started. Everything in gethub. Thanks for helping out.

Finally got the chnace to try out USB Host Mode on stock CM10 and it works great. The HOXL doesn't seem to be able to power anything plugged into the USB socket, but I was able to get a mouse, keyboard, and memory stick working with a powered USB hub.
I also tried a USB DAC (only the DAC built into the Logitach keyboard), and noticed the logcat message:
10-26 19:26:33.216 V/WiredAccessoryObserver( 357): Headset UEVENT: {SUBSYSTEM=switch, SWITCH_STATE=0, DEVPATH=/devices/virtual/switch/dock, SEQNUM=14558, ACTION=change, SWITCH_NAME=dock}
10-26 19:26:33.216 E/WiredAccessoryObserver( 357): Ignoring dock event as Audio routing disabled {SUBSYSTEM=switch, SWITCH_STATE=0, DEVPATH=/devices/virtual/switch/dock, SEQNUM=14558, ACTION=change, SWITCH_NAME=dock}
So things look a little promising.
Hopefully this weekend I'll get a chance to build a Fedora VM and start looking at updating the Kernel. It looks to be fairly straight forward, re-using code from the Nook kernel.
To save a ton of time, any other devs that are feeling generous, I can provide some update source files which I think should do the trick, just need them rolled into CM10 fork on Github and build. :angel:

Here is the last quote from H8rift on that matter.
I'm sooooooo close to USB otg that it is frustrating! It sees that there is a USB device plugged in but doesn't go the next step of mounting the drive or powering the peripheral.
Should get it figured out soon. Kernel work is temporarily halted as everyone has a lot going on this week at our respective day jobs. Hence why I felt I owed you guys at least an experimental build today .
(Me) thanks again for jumping in and helping.

Thanks for the update !
Any recent news about this ? I'm currently working on a USB audio device prototype and having my HOXL supporting USB Audio Class (playback+recording) as the USB host would mean the world to me. :fingers-crossed:

Unfortunately I had to rebuild my pc last weekend, so that has set things back a little. Hopefully I should be able to make some progress this weekend .
Usb audio playback should be fine, but note sure about the recording... We'll see how we go.

Awesome.. I would be happy to test & give feedback.
I tried the last experimental build today with various USB devices & a USB OTG cable.
Some did worked well (mouses, keyboards), but I tried with a standard Logitech handset and it didn't worked. Actually the headset has volume +/- buttons that actually worked (using the HID driver I guess), but no audio was actually going to the headset (it was playing on the speakers as usual). And no recording.
For comparison, the same headset do works for playback on stock GS3, but not for recording.
The device I currently work on, based on a TI c5535 and the connected audio framework, does only support USB Audio Device Class 1.0, which is supported by Windows and standard Linux but apparently not by the GS3... Would also be awesome to see it supported on Android.

That'd be great, I'm thinking of purchasing a Fiio e17, so if I can get it working for the e7, that's a good start.
wagaf, hopefully we can get it working for the USB Audio 1.0 as well, I know bugger all about the different standards at this stage, but hopefully they're largely command level changes.
I'll update here towards the end of the weekend with any progress. Playing with github etc. for the first time, so a bit of a learning curve.

Yes, USB AC 2.0 is very close to 1.0 and any correct implementations should be backward compatible.
Another request (I know I ask a lot) would be to support any standard sample rate reported by the usb device. For instance if the device only supports 16kHz, or 48kHz, a 44.1kHz song would be re-sampled to 48kHz be played.
I mention this because the iDevices that support USB Audio requires 44.1 and 48kHz to both be supported, and the Galaxy S III is only able to playback at 44.1kHz, even if standard Linux is totally able to re-sample depending on supported sample rate.

Update:
Steep learning curve, but I finally got my first working kernel deployed to my phone today . Having said that, the kernel doesn't quite perform as expected.... my computer now recognizes the phone as a 'toneport gx' external dac instead of a HTC XL.
I initially started kernel dev on my HP Touchpad as warm up, and did manage to get things going there, but the HTC has been a bit more of a challenge for some reason.

Hey, any luck with USB Audio on the OneX? I have CM 10.1 installed on it with an OTG cable, but it doesn't seem to work.
Nothing happen when I plug a DAC. Any luck on your side?
