I'm new here, I've read the rules, but if anything I apologize if I created this topic in the wrong section.
I'm happy with my phone, I don't want to change it, but I came across a flaw that bothers me a lot, namely I bought myself a splitter from USB C to USB C and Jack, so that in the car I can simultaneously listen to music and charge the phone, but it doesn't work properly, because I can either charge the phone or listen to music depending on what I plug in first. I found some information on the internet, that this feature used to work, but after some update, my phone lost this feature, as my phone is out of warranty, I came up with an idea to install some custom ROM(maybe only kernel or something else), so I could use this feature and maybe revive my phone(better perfomance, battery life). My question is if there is any ROM which is up to date, stable and has possibility to use usb c splitter
Here is the link to the splitter I bought :

3.5mm Audio/Mic/Video out pin out - compilation of info
After searching on here, XDA and other sites, this is a compilation of accurate data I have found Please comment with known good info and I will update this post so it can be used as a single source rather then having 20 different post with hijacked conversations.
Information desired to be compiled into this thread consists of technical pin out of the 3.5MM jack on the Samsung Galaxy S: Captivate i897 and Vibrant T959 (let me know which others and I will add them as compatible).
3.5mm pin out:
1.LEFT EARPHONE
2.RIGHT EARPHONE
3.GROUND
4.MIC
***Note: I have not hacked up a factory earphone/mic/button to confirm this, I will once I get a spare set. This is the only sure fire way I know to be certain as to the OEM wiring and button configuration, NO/NC (Normally Open/Normally Closed) switch, what wires are made (connected/shorted) by the switch to achieve the pause, answer call/terminate call when pressed. This pin out makes sense because a standard headphones without a mic operate normally and the only other way that would be possible would be to have ground and mic switched, and I don't believe that is the case due to info I have found, but not yet tested concerning Video Output.
Audio/Mic compatibility
I have found that the Galaxy S audio output and mic input are wired the same as a.....are you ready for this???? Same as the old trusty Sharp Sidekick... I was shocked to find this but shouldn't be soo since there are only so many options possible to achieve this functionality with a limited number of connectors. Let me know what others are fully compatible and tested. I will add them to this post so it will remain easy to refer to.
So here the list starts: (full OEM functionality only)
Sharp SideKick earphones/mic/button
Audio/Video compatibility
Speculated pin out (will update once tested). This makes sense because it offers the simplest way to share an connector using an electronic switching mechanism triggered by the TV Out switch in the OS settings.
3.5mm pin out:
1.LEFT EARPHONE
2.RIGHT EARPHONE
3.GROUND
4.Video
I have none yet as I have not purchased any to test. I did test with a set of A/V cables for a digital camcorder I have but they were not compatible. I am not listing or mentioning the brands that do not work correctly. If plugs need to be switched (yellow/Red, or white/yellow) I do not want to add to this until I am able to test correct pin out for A/V. Once the pin out is confirmed, I will add A/V cables that work with plug switching.
The goal is to create a "Master List" if you will of compatible/fully function earphones/mic (with or without button), and A/V cables. If button is inline with the earphones it should work the same as OEM, if it does not then please note and I will note that in the list also.
I will consider making another "Master List" for the USB/Charging/HDMI once i have completed testing and a clear understanding of the usb charging pins/voltages etc. There is much info on other posts concerning USB charging, jumping pins 2 and 3, etc. I can say at this time I have only been successful charging in (charger mode) with the OEM cable and charger and with the AT&T MicroUSB charging (only) cable and and most USB port wall warts and car changers. AT&T charging cable is available Here. (Will add link when my account is verified (been a member since 2009 and had a HTC 8125.
I have also confirmed charging loads, current draw in both USB mode and Charging mode.
More to come. Please feel free to offer good tested and proven compatible I/O.

Nice thread, although it is totally going to get buried lol.
Once you verify that information I recommend putting [REF] in the title and posting in the dev section... it's not Q&A so I think it's appropriate there... plus it looks like you've done a lot of research

I posted a similar link a while back on this over in the accessory forum..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9033585&postcount=1
I waiting for a oem set being sent to take apart me by Samsung to verify it..This was for the I9000 not the Captivate though

Hello,
I have really no idea if this is possible, how hard this could be to do and what it can require but :
1 - Would it be possible when I plug my phone on my car radio with USB to control the music with my phone instead of the radio itself ?
2 - Would it be possible to deport the sounds (calls, applications etc) on the car speakers ?
Let me know if I'm not very clear
PS : please don't answer something like "use a jack-jack cable"
Thanks !
From what I get, you want to "stream" audio through the USB port. I don't know why would you want that and the jack-jack cable is not good (maybe you have a USB port on you car stereo but no line in) but as far as I know it would take A lot of modifications (stereo and phone) to make it work.
So, theoretically it is possible, practically I don't think someone will ever make it possible.
Im pretty sure it would be impossible to control the car radio with the phone via usb. There might be some kind of solution using IR, but I don't know how that'd interface with the Droid. Most aftermarket decks allow for a wired remote on the back (looks like a headphone Jack). I've used it with a steering wheel interface adapter and it worked well, so there is a possibility that a custom usb cable could be made, but would also require a custom app written for the Droid to output the signals through the usb.
On streaming radio via usb, I don't think that's possible either, bc the uusb on the deck is looking for files to read on a mounted drive.
If you happen to have an incredible, you can get the tv-out cable and make a shorting pin on the video output. This makes the phone think it's connected to a TV, and will then stream Pandora, music, Google navigation, etc through the usb. If you do this with your aftermarket radio, you'll need an aux input and an rca to 3.5mm cable unless you already have RCA.
Hope this helps!
Thank you for answers! I was asking that because I remember when I had an iPhone, I was able to play, pause, forward the music from my iPhone. I will try to use the aux-in (I have a little Pioneer DEH-3200UB).
Thank again !
That's because both the head unit and the iPhone know a common language and communicate.
Sadly, I don't think there's anything like that outside Apple.
It is called Ipod ready. That could be emulated in Android, would be another bite out of the apple,s ass.
Hi, folks!
My old laptop is nearing the end of its lifecycle and now its soundcard got busted and I can't find a way to get it working again.
I could go to a shop to buy an USB-soundcard, but that would be
a) too easy and
b) waste of resources
- as I'm aiming to buy a new laptop soon enough. But until that time I need to hear some sound from the box anyway (some music, some movies and some training videos) so I wonder if it's possible to use the HD2 as a soundcard and get the audio output from its 3,5mm jack. Either by bluetooth or cable connection..
Is there a specific application for this?
phone is running stock winmo 6.5
pc is win7ultimate in intel T7700:2x2.4GHz/4GbRam/500GbHDD box, BT enabled.
Any ideas how it could be done?
Thanks a lot!

I recently purchased a car that has a USB interface for the radio. My wife's Iphone fully integrates with it, of course, and via the radio's interface but the Samsung only mounts as a connected drive.
I have read other thread where people were able to force their Samsung into car dock mode by modifying a USB cable. Is there anyway to just do that in software?
you misunderstand what car mode is.
Good luck! I switched back to my iPhone for this reason alone. I listen to a lot of podcasts and I couldn't get this to work via the USB interface and I don't have bluetooth on my head unit. I can't seem to get the newest update to see if that works either. Would love to know if someone has a solution that doesn't require making your own cable.
yo sleze..what model car if i may ask?
i made my own auxiliary input for my car(i know its not a big feat) with an old dsl filter a soldering gun and some resistors and capacitors.. i might be interested in creating a usb interface for my car and then maybe i can give you some insight .. big maybe
well you will never get the headunit to command the phone, android simply doesn't support anything like that. but you can get audio over USB which is triggered by shorting a couple pins through a resistor. ill have to look up that thread but there may already be a dongle or cable out there to do this. it may not be say "android carmode" but if you find the name of the USB standard that they use to trigger it you can find the appropriate cable or dongle.
isnt there a usb headset available that can stop/start music and next track functionality ..if so you could (in theory) make a usb interface that would allow the head unit or in my case steering wheel control to work similarly?
no it wont command the phone. the framework and apps don't have an interface for that. plus the headunit would need special drivers if the phone had that capability. the issue with android is too many manufacturers do things different so unless google comes out with that on a nexus and tells maunfacturers the way it needs to be implimented I don't see any hope.
there might be a way to echo the commands through adb if you have a computer in your car. but I guess you'd have to know how the music app works for that.
we All know apple has the accessories market down pretty good. even though some older accessories don't work with the newest hardware. that's the one thing apple is good for, a wide accessory market.
now if you have a Bluetooth controler and it uses the right protocol to work with thw samaung bluetooth stack then you might be able to map keys to certain functions with an app or simple configuration file editing. but as far as USB goes I don't think android is designed to host USB input devices. there is limited otg usb support on certain special galaxy s and nexus 1 and nexus s kernels but nothing native.
maybe some 3rd party root app could eventually be developed but I haven't heard of one yet.
besides all that, who knows if the head unit will know to go into audio over USB mode in the first place, even if you get the phone in that mode, will the headunit be looking for USB storage and an iPhone interface only? was it designed to accept USB audio other than an iPod interface?
well with my car BMW mad a usb interface for ipod/iphone.. i hate mac so scratch that.. i also have a usb interface(i can control radio/nav functions via carputer) that is designed to work with I-BUS (intelligent input bus) which is what some BMW's used for audio/nav integration. some newer models actually come with a usb input that was designed to work with most media players..so i thought maybe with some time/frustration/rum..i might be able to make it work..

It still to my understanding that on BMW iDrive system will have full integration with iOS. We had a 2010 5 series at home with all the bell and whistles on it, and even then it would only display song names. With my iPod we got full library options, podcast too. Android will only be able to be used as a mounted devices.

I used to have an iPhone and installed this kit http://usaspec.com/product.php?ProductID=18. After switching to android I just use a 2.5mm to RCA cable to plug in to the same unit. Not worried too much about integrating with car controls - I also use a phone mount. Does your head unit have any AUX IN connectivity? Maybe on the rear? If so just play audio through the headphone jack. There's always the lighter socket RF adapter option too, but audio quality with those things can be lame.
Samsung-SGH-I997 Infused 2.3.3
yeah the headphone amp on the infuse has pretty good fidelity too. the headphone Jack might not be as convenient as a single USB that also charges the phone but I'd you want to use the playlists and 3rd party apps like Pandora or Google music its the best way. audio over USB needs the dock or special cable to trigger but I don't know which headunits will support that.
I know similar topics have been talked about before, but I still don't have the information I need to come to any sort of conclusion, so here is my situation.
I have a Nexus S 4G with unrooted, unlocked, stock Jelly Bean on it and I don't want to root my phone. I would like to purchase a head unit for my car and be able to plug my phone into said head unit in my car via usb in order to charge my phone and play music (i.e. Pandora) at the same time. It sounds like in order to accomplish this the head unit requires a certain protocol MSC or MTP maybe, I don't really know. So does anyone have any information on how I can possibly make this work or maybe some information to lead me in the right direction. Google makes this sound so easy, but apparently it is far from it.
Thanks,
Dave
On my older galaxy 3 i5800 i could just plug in USB on phone and in car stereo, it asks to mount(like on PC), and phone was charging, also car stereo recognized my music, it played. So i think it only depends on radio options.

sbdave, the head unit would need to support MTP (Media Transfer Protocol) which is a new MS protocol. The pre-ICS (android 4.0) version of the OS supported MSC (which made the phone look like a normal USB drive). Most car stereos with a USB jack should understand the old protocol. It seems very few support the new one. Very annoying to me. Google wants to say that MTP is a better solution since it allows simultaneous access to the files while syncing and "just" requires some additional drivers. But how do you add drivers to a head unit? Seems like short-sighted thinking to me. Hopefully we'll get a better answer via XDA or via Google in a future OS update. Seems like it should be an option to use one or the other (like they allow MTP and PTP now).
I've tried to use the SGS3 Easy UMS app for my car stereo (Infiniti G Sedan), but to no avail. Still looking for a solution.
