I just got the G3 yesterday and the only issue I'm having is that every time I plug in an aux cord, no matter what aux cord, it doesn't recognize it. If it does, it'll show the symbol in the top bar but go away within a second.
Headphones work perfectly fine
My aux cords I've tried work perfectly fine. I had a case on mine and had to remove it to get it to work

There is a long thread on the main g3 section covering this. The consensus appears to be that it is a software issue having something to do with how LG is trying to detect the type of jack plugged in.

I just had to exchange my phone because it was not always charging when it was plugged in. I thought perhaps it just wasn't connected properly, but I would plug it in and any pressure I put on the cord would cause it to loose the 'plugged-in' icon. Now of course I'm paranoid that the new one (which seems better so far) will break in a similar fashion. Has anyone else had a similar issue? It looks like some folks on the Vibrant forum are reporting a similar problem.
This might be a silly question, but did you have the door slid ALL the way open? I know I read about a few people didnt "click" it all the way open and the cord would barely fit in there and loose connection easily. The door slides open and feels like it stops, but it will "click" over to lock it open all the way.

Yes. I read those threads too, and I'm sure it was a hardware defect.
I had the same problem. Exchanged it. No problems anymore

I have the same problem. My door is absolutely slid all the way open but my micro USB slot is loose. I don't know how this happened since I use a backup battery charger to charge the a spare battery and then I swap out batteries so I never even plug up the charger. I use a bluetooth stereo headset so it wasn't the wired headset bouncing around that loosened it up. The only time I use the USB cable is to tether and all of a sudden last week I started loosing the connection with the laptop on my lap. If I have everything sitting on a desk untouched it is fine but as soon as you touch the phone or move the laptop much the connection is lost. I have to set the phone down in a way that puts it at a certain angle so that a connection is made.
I don't mind swapping out my phone but DANG, I paid 15 bucks for my screen protector and I got it on there perfectly!
I called att. They sent out another cable. Turns out it was the cable and not the micro USB on the phone.
Interesting...I never tried a different cable.

My phone also have this issue.. But it's charger related.. Sometimes the Traveler Adapter simply disconnects from the wall outlet.. So i'm using the iPhone adapter instead..
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 just received my vehicle mount for the epic. Got it mounted and everything good except I get no audio when I plug in my aux cable from the radio. It says it should automatically play but it doesnt. I have 2.2.1 and am running syndicate frozen 1.2 rom. Could there be a setting I need to change? My phone does instantly go into driving mode once the charger is on.
You need to download the car app from the market that is made for the epic 4g. Search on your computer though because it will not show on your phone market, I believe it only shows up under the web browser version. Once you install the app there is a speaker icon you press to turn audio on and off. enjoy.

Got it, thanks
Be sure to press the speaker button in the upper right corner of car home (the car app) or you won't have the sound come through your speakers either.

This is for sure the way to go. It also maxes out your media volume when you plug it in.

Anyone else using the car dock find that the audio output for the left channel is much louder than the audio output for the right channel?
The problem your describing sounds like it's potentially a problem with your connection to your car stereo, or your car stereo. I haven't noticed any balance issues with mine.
You should double check
0. That the epic sounds the same in and out of the mount.
1. That another mp3/cd/cassette player sounds fine being played through your car's stereo.
2. The balance setting on your car stereo.
3. The cable you connect Epic to the car with is good. If the wiggling the cable produces static or volume changes, get a new one.
4. That you've pushed the connecting cable in all the way on both ends. It can take a little more force than you might expect. I think I had to push a little harder on the car mount end initially.
I haven't noticed any way to change the balance on the epic, but I suppose that's a possibility too.
Hope this helps.
My wife left my car at the airport for a few days, so I just got around to troubleshooting this. I think you are correct that the problem actually lies in the casette adapter that I replaced shortly before adding the car dock.

It's too bad they don't have a dock for us like they showed off a long time ago with the original nexus.
Those of you using the car dock, when you remove your Epic from the car dock, do you put it into a case? Is there any case that can take the abuse of constantly putting the phone in/out ? The tabs on mine broke pretty quickly as a result. Also, what case is the lease hassle to get the phone in/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?
Brand new SGT2 7.0, 8gb, GT-P3113
Hooked it up to car using an aux out cable that works fine on my phone in my car and got sound for about 20 seconds then nothing. Can't get sound again. Unplugged, plugged back in, toggled car audio inputs, changed ends of cable around... can't get sound out.
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?
This is the one I have:
Kensington Noise Reducing Car Audio AUX Cable for MP3 or SmartPhone
Using it in my car is the whole reason I bought this thing, can anyone help me out? Car is a 2010 Prius with stock navi/stereo.

Since the tablet works with headphones but not on the car, it's probably the cable or the car that is faulty

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!
