3.5mm Male to Male w/ Mic

Anyone bought one before for use w/ the Eris? Looking to use this for audio to home stereo or car aux input but also not have to unplug it to use the phone. This way I can use it as hands free in the car. I've found this one for $10.99
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=41130&cat=3811
and this one for $9.99
http://www.thinksamsungcaptivate.com/samsung-captivate-wired-headsets-10329.html
but it says it's for the Samsung Captivate.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Cool find. Exactly what I have been looking for. I haven't used it or known anyone that has, but I'm probably going to buy it just to try it out. I'll report back with findings unless someone beats me to it.

I personally use a standard line (no mic) keep the phone on my lap and am able to have conversations as if I am wearing a blue tooth headset. Although if this is for your car stereo you do have to take into consideration of the stereo volume cause the conversation can echo back to the person that you are talking to

For some reason that doesn't work for me. I tried it but have to unplug the cord to talk. I can hear them just fine but they can't hear me (no music on either) That's why I started looking for this. I wonder if it's a setting on the phone somewhere...

Assuming that you didnt hit the mute button on the phone, there may be other factors that are giving people on the other end problems hearing you.
a) is your phone rooted? if so, what rom are you using?
Check with the dev who created the rom. Could be possible that you have a older rom version. One of the last updates that VZW pushed out to the eris was for the "sound bug" If you are using a older rom, it could be a possibility that the update was not "cooked" in cause of the date of the ROM. You will see more DEVs stating in their ROM descriptions that is has the recent updates. Using one of thoser ROM may fix that.
b) if your phone is not rooted then is all the updates installed? You can check by doing the following
menu - settings - about phone - system updates
c) depending on where your phone is placed, (ie my lap), seat belts, clothes or some thign else is blocking the phones microphone.
d )slim chance but any chance that the people who can not hear you are only eris users them selves? If yes then see a) and b)

I just use the phone itself as the microphone and the audio routes over the stereo. But of course we don't have laws against talking on the phone here.

Wow, nobody posts in this particular forum. Well, I was just thinking about this type of product today, and seeing it on the forum, I had to buy it.

[Q] is this the tab for me?

I have a slightly odd list of needs from an android tab and was wondering if the tf700 will meet them;
line in recording of audio
usb for cat5 adapter https://sites.google.com/site/bobjgear/USB-Aapter
optionof decent keyboard dock
rootable
decent screen and manufactor rom updates
im interested in the cat5 especially as i cant use wifi at work, sadly so my options are limited...
thanks for your help and feedback, hows this tab without the keyboard?
cheers, andy

The screen is matched only by the Retina display. Best Android screen on the market. We've had 4 or 5 updates so far, including JB as one of the first non-Google companies.

I have some friends that work for the government and their in the same boat as you. They aren't even allowed to use wireless when their traveling and it's available.

Thanks for this, sounds good. Only thing left to work out is line in then i guess, if someone could test this for me it would be really helpful. Its the last piece of the puzzle i think.
One other question, i take it the only "pairing" the tablet does with the keyboard is just being plugged in? The reason i ask is that if i buy a couple of tablets and keyboards (me and the mrs) can we just swap the keyboards round without any pairing faff?

As far as I know, you can interchange the docks. There's a driver for it installed in Android from the start. There's no personalized settings or anything stored in the dock itself. Plug and Play.

If you are located outside the US in Europe this would be your answer.
If you're a US user then your stuck with the complex USB adapter scenario it seems.

perfect, that actually looks just what im after, simple easy and with cat5 in built. shame it doesnt have line in then it really would be ideal!
edit: just need to find someone that will actually supply it to me now!

big problems with bluetooth and the car

Hey.
Had this phone for a week now and whilst it's a great phone, there appears to be a few bugs which need sorting. The main one is the incompatibility with the car for controlling apps like Spotify or streaming music via Bluetooth.
The later is a real pain and one which is causing me to seriously consider getting rid of this device as it's a killer feature for me due to the amount of driving I do.
Had a quick look at Talk Sony forum and a few other people have the same problem but as of yet there is no update or word from Sony.
Anyone else have the same experience and a potential solution?
Cheers
Scott

No solution, I got word from Sony that they are working on it, but my guess is that this will be fixed with Android O, and this could be months ahead :/
But maybe we will receive an update for Android 7, who knows...

Thanks for the reply. This kind of settles it then as Monday is last day of my cooling off period.. Gonna have to take it back as there is no way I can function in my job if I can t use handsfree properly or music
Such a shame.

had the same thing, after much research i found its probably the fact that the premium has bluetooth 5, with special codecs for music streaming. Non of which was available in 2012 when my car was made.
Ive ordered a £3 hadfree kit of ebay to see if that makes any difference.

I was gonna do the same but the only offer they gave me was an s8 with less data for an extra £15 a month. I stuck with the Sony and am hoping when my new car arrives it works.
Good luck.

I have a new 2017 BMW and I am stunned that it doesnt work. The S8 works great and the iPhone is perfect but for some reason Sony have been left out in the dark.

Spoke to Sony. They do believe their device is at fault and have no plans to do any software tweaks till Android O

I dont have any issues with mine controlling pause, play, last or next song, but I switched to Deezer a while back. Ive had more than one issue with Spotify on other devices, so I moved on from that service.

It's such a strange problem.

Hi guys goodevening I've solve this issue ! you just to go o dev menu anche change bluetooth version avrcp from 1.6 to 1.4 after that it will worck again with the idrive with any app.

I tried changing avrcp to 1.4 yet it still won't stream music at all to my alpine head unit.
Didn't even come up as an option under Bluetooth. Says it is connected for calls and contacts only.
The alpine works fine with galaxy note 2, 4, galaxy s5 and s8, Huawei y550. So the fault is with the xz premium.

Same Problem with Alpine and Bose. Solution?

I am getting very stuttery/laggy/crackly audio over wired headphones and speaker on O

Hello! I never had a problem with my Google Pixel until now.
I downloaded and installed the official Android 8.0 update for my Pixel. As soon as it booted, I did what I normally do and I opened up my audiobooks player to play my 4 hour long MP3 that I listen to. I noticed immediately that the audio was stuttering and crackling, like the way a very old PC would do when you had too many things running while you tried to listen to music.
It is not a bluetooth issue because it happens with wired headphones and even with the internal speaker. It does it whether or not my phone is rooted (does not make a difference). I do not have a lot of apps installed. Again, this did not happen at all on Android N.
The issue is not just with my audio book player app. While it does not happen in Youtube, it also happens if I try to play a video in a web browser. The same horrible audio lagging/stuttering.
I did not see anyone complain about this, so I am at a loss for what it could possibly be. Anyone with any pointers I would greatly appreciate them! It is driving me crazy!

It happens to me too, I have to clear all apps from the background and reboot. Then the audio go back to normal.

It goes back to normal for me after a reboot but it comes right back after not too much time. Why did Google officially release Oreo with this kind of issue?

I had it on nougat also, but it happens a lot more frequently on Oreo.

Has anyone found a fix?

It is some sort of weird RAM issue. I downloaded a RAM cleaner, and even though I have lots of free RAM, cleaning the RAM fixes it (until it eventually comes back). What is going on?

Yeah, you're probably right. I'm beginning to think that perhaps an app that's installed is conflicting with either ram usage or the audio drivers. Unfortunately, in order to find out what it is, a clean system would be needed at this point. No apps installed, test out the audio. If it works then you're in for a long day adding each app one at a time. If it still doesn't work I'd try another set of headphones, although that seems ludicrous. Lastly, since you're rooted you can go back to N if it's that important to you and report the heck out of it to Google. Good luck guys.
Not that it matters to you that much, but I listen to the headphones every day, Spotify, Pandora, Sports Gold and not a single issue on any of them. Bluetooth is another story, but wired static is rare. Search Google issues see if you come up with anything.

I have no issues with streaming services which is probably why you don't have the issue. It only happens to me in audio playing from a web browser or local audio files.

Question Coming From Oneplus 6

Hey Folks
My Oneplus 6 just died (purchased 4 years ago) so tomorrow I have to go buy a new phone ASAP.
For the last decade I have been an XDA enthusiast (lurker) rooting/romming my phones to get TWRP/debloat/adAway/viper4android etc
I am leaning towards grabbing a S22U tomorrow from a retail store here in my country (Australia). Money is not an issue, I want the best phone I can get right now.
I currently don't have the personal time to be rooting/romming to get my new phone perfect and my understanding is Samsung phones don't permit that unless they trip Knox and create hardware problems I don't want to deal with.
So my question to you XDA is:
(1) Are there any system wide ad blocking alterntives equivalent to adAway that don't require root?
(2) What about audio? If we can't root then we can't run viper4android and get that elite sound right? Any workarounds or alterntives?
(3) Debloat? I usually just use Titanium Backup to nuke all the bundled trash in my phones, is there any alternative without root?
Thanks for any replies =]

1: Either DNS blocking (dns.adguard.com) or Alliance shield X which can block all ads and has customized firewall.
2: No idea what Viper did, but Samsung has Dolby sound and the speakers are fine.
3: You'll have to use ADB to debloat and there are several apps and lists you can use on your PC to debloat.
I used to root every phone I had, but since I switched to Samsung I don't really find it necessary and I often messed stuff up and bricked some phones. Also many banking apps wouldn't work, so.. yeah, not worth it anymore.

What are the odds that we are both updating from op6 to s22u?
1. I have been using dns ad guard thing the other user said.
2. s22u does have an equalizer if that's what you're looking for. It does not have a headphone jack so if you're an audiophile idk if its the right option. I can't tell the different between a flac and mp3 so I am not the right person to answer this lmao.
3. There is barely any bloat on s22u. I uninstalled pretty much everything and disabled 2-3 apps which couldn't be uninstalled. Your milage may vary obviously based on what you consider bloat and all that. At the end there are like two apps which bother me but I assume they are necessary for the phone to work so I can't disable them.

No 3.5 jack but the charging port works as a earphone/headphone jack.

Samsung's workaround created two issues. Obviously one can't use headphones and charge the device simultaneously unless you employ wireless charging. Also there are very few earphones which connect using a Type C Connector. One option is Samsung's Type C Noise Cancelling Earphones. They sound pretty good with some nice bass as well.
Not a lot of purchasing options but they are available on Ebay. Other than that one can use Type C to 3.5 Jack adapter.
For superior audio I'd recommend Poweramp which incorporates an Equalizer.

PowerAmp is a great player with lots of settings. I have been using it for quit a while. I have a Watch4 Classic and the PowerAmp controls come up on it when I am playing songs. As for headphones, an adapter works fin and there are plenty out there. There are dual port adapters that will allow you to charge and listen at the same time, but I would recommend going to a wireless headset like the Samsung Buds, Bose Buds or any of the good quality buds out there.
I use ADB AppControl to disable any of the system loaded apps that I cannot uninstall. It does not remove the system apps and save you any room, but it does disable them so you do not see them any more. Also still will allow you to get updates without issues.
One thing I do recommend is get the 256M version or larger. Samsung has deleted the micro SD slot, so be sure to get enough RAM to cover yourself. You do have cloud storage for a lot of things though.

Yup +1 for Poweramp I deffinately will be installing that. Also going to grab the 512GB version.

One more question folks.
Is youtube Vanced still a thing? I think I recall seeing they have abandonded the project but it is still working fine on my Oneplus 6 although havent updated it in about 2 years.
If no Vanced, any suggestions for alternatives for adblcoking on youtube with background playback?

if you're looking to integrate your subscriptions/recommended videos Newpipe is honestly not it. Its a great app if you don't rely on your google account. Vanced still works if Newpipe doesn't do it for you like it didn't for me.

This is the only true non-root alternative to viper. Stumbled across this the other day and I'm blown away.

Next dns is a great alternative to adguard. It's a no root dns alternative. I don't use adblocking through a vpn because I also have a vpn app I use and they conflict.
