The phone is connected to my car via bluetooth. Whenever I use the Google navigation (it happens to work just fine) and receive a call, the GPS audio starts blasting through the car speakers (while I'm on a call). There is no way to route the nav audio to car speakers otherwise or shut it up while on a call and driving. This "implementation" is nothing if not completely idiotic..
Anyone know of a workaround?

Are you saying that the navigation audio continues while you are on a phone call? I guess a workaround would be to manually mute navigation audio when you get a call.
If my interpretation of your post is correct, that sounds like a bug more than an implementation. How terrible.

==================
Yep! And it so happens that by default that horrible, metallic voice is much louder over the car speakers than the voice of your calling party.

I'm not sure that screwing around with the phone to adjust only the nav volume, while talking and driving may be a viable option for everyone (anyone?). Not safe.
This really is a bad oversight by Samsung's product team.
Do you play music while using google navigate over BT as well? Is that possible?

This could be a Google NAV bug - it is in Beta still. Also, Samsung can't test every 3rd party app.
One way to lay blame would be find other apps that can do BT Audio and see if they exhibit the same behavior.
Other Nav apps let you automatically mute Nav when in a call, but Google Nav does not. Also, Google Nav seems to have it's own volume control - when in nav - adjusting the volume says "Nav volume" - so maybe you can turn down the nav volume and turn up the BT and Call volume to balance things out - doing this before driving is certainly safer.

Agreed. But Google Nav cannot be considered just another 3rd party app (neither can any other Google app on an Android phone). I think that at this point, with the way it now works, it would have been better to leave the nav audio over BT disabled. I can deal with it, you can deal with it, but there will surely be someone may crash their car while dealing with it.
I've been looking around for awhile now and I was wondering if anyone knows a way of getting a Mono Audio accessibility feature added to the Settings on a HTC One X?
I do not need this feature for a bluetooth headset. I am deaf in my left ear so when I fire up Play Music, Pandora or Spotify I'm only listening to the right channel of a stereo output. Poweramp offers a mono feature and I could sync my music manually but that isn't a global setting on the device so it doesn't help with Pandora or Spotify.
I've also tried a stereo-to-mono adaptor and I hated how poorly the sound was reproduced. That would also kill the remote button so... yea there's that too.
This is an accessibility feature I first discovered on the iPhone 3Gs and I know GS3 also has this feature available in their accessibility settings.
Is there any way possible an audio mod or tweak could bring this same feature to the One X? Any input is greatly appreciated.
[EDIT] In DSP Manager, there is a setting called Headset Virtual Room Effect, enabling this merges seems to merge the left & right channels. IMHO it's not well documented but this essentially enables the GS3 or iPhone's "Mono audio" accessibility option. For people who are deaf in one ear like myself, this is an essential feature and I'm glad I've finally found it.
For those who are lucky to have two good ears, imagine listening to the Beatles "Taxman" with a broken left channel. That's a very drastic case where the music bed is panned left and the vocals and guitar are on the right. Modern records don't seem to be that drastic but every once in awhile I miss a bit of lyrics or a guitar solo that's panned left. With VRE balance is restored. :victory:

Hello everybody!
I have a question that is more a challenge!
My problem is that while I am driving I use an aux-aux cable to listen to music.
But, if I receive a phonecall and answer, the microphone is automatically set to a low sensitivity even though the audio is going through the aux/car speakers (seems like the sensitivity for a normal phonecall). Therefore I usually put the speaker mode on for the mic to go to a high sensitivity and everything works well. However, sometimes it is hard to hear the call while driving and it would be awesome if I could use the car speakers instead with a high sensitivity mic.
I have a rooted device with Cyanogen 12 OS
Is there any solution to this? Tweaking? Using tasker/trigger or else? (I also have NFC tags in the car dock to toggle actions)
Thanks
Hi,
So first of all I hope I am posting in the right forum! And that the issue has not been addressed already (I couldn't find it via search...)! If I'm wrong on any of these please excuse me
So here's my issue:
I bought a Philips 49PUS7272, which runs on Android TV. I works like a charm, but as most TVs, the speakers are kinda ****ty.
It's an issue for me, as I plan to use it as my main media center, for movies/TV but also music from google play music/youtube...
So I plugged my amplified speakers to it via the 3.5 jack output (my speakers only have RCA or jack input).
It works, but in order to adjust the volume I have to go through the Settings>Sound>Headphone Volume, if I adjust the volume directly with the remote, it only has effect on the TV speaker but none on the jack output
So it is quite annoying to go through about 10 clicks before modifying the volume.
I checked and I have the possibility to disable the TV speakers completely in the settings, so at least they do not annoy me anymore, but still I would like to be able to control the volume on the speakers directly through the volume buttons on the remote...
Anyone has an idea ?
Thanks a lot !
Edit: I don't know and couldn't find what processor is on this TV ...
One of the few issues I have with this phone is speaker placement. Great stereo sound from the speakers, but playing a game in default landscape my right index finger covers some of the right speaker.
Reverse landscape totally fixes this issue, but the stereo does not swap sides (sometimes?).
Anyone know a way to reverse stereo? Even if its permanent in everything.
