I have just installed agamar launcher on my head unit. All set up but have an issue. When I use radio or cd in background and run sat nav (igo ) the voice on igo works as should. When I use music from SD card or the Bluetooth player the direction voice in igo goes either high pitch or a static type sound. Similar the background sound increases to. Can someone help as strange.
Any help please
Perhaps contact developer.

This question is related, and a possible workaround for the problem with sound from applications like Tomtom, while playing let's say a CD in the car stereo.
As it is now, when the phone sits in the car holder, all sound is transferred to the audio contact on the car holder.
If not selecting the phone as the source on the car stereo, no sound is heard from the phone, which is a problem if listening to cd, for example.
I have understood that it might be difficult to route the navigator sound to speaker, while all other sound is routed to the connector. But after searching the net for some hours now, I have not found any application that is able to toggle ALL sound betwen wired headset/connector/line-out and internal speaker. There is many applications for toggling between BT and speaker, but not connector/speaker.
Anyone?
Does anyone know?
I am looking for the same solution but to no avail so far.
Not only BT can be toggled, but also the sound when using the FM Radio, as posted here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2934624&postcount=7. So there must be a magic switch somewhere.....
Stupid me !!!!!!
To toggle I now just start the FM radio app when connected EDIT....actually in my car I have to have some audio playing running to make the toggle, e.g. CorePlayer END EDIT .....then mute the radio sound (with the speaker icon) and select speaker (the headset icon (toggles between headset and speaker icon). The just start e.g. TomTom and ........the sound is still trough the speaker......
As I said, still need to find what the radio app actually toggles to switch on the speaker to make this a standalone app/registry fix/switch.
MortScript
Since there was no answer or other solution....yet..... I decided to create a MortScript to enable the speaker for me automatically, maybe someone finds it useful:
#Set Volume low to not disturb too much (does not work for the FM app though...)
SetVolume 1
Sleep 2000
#Start Media Player to have sound output
Run "\My Documents\Business\let.mp3"
Sleep 2000
#Start the Radio Application
Run "\Windows\FMRadio.exe"
#WaitForActive ("FM Radio", 15)
Sleep 15000
#Radio Mute
MouseClick 400,600
SendKeys M
Sleep 1000
#(Re-)Set Output to Wired Headset
MouseClick 400,600
SendKeys O
Sendkeys W
Sleep 1000
#Set Output to Speaker
MouseClick 400,600
SendKeys O
Sendkeys S
Sleep 2000
#Exit Windows Media Player (not needed anymore)
Close ("Windows Media")
Sleep 1000
#Set Volume to Max again for Navigation
SetVolume 255
Sleep 2000
#Start TomTom Navigation Software
Run ("\Program Files\Navigator\TomTom Navigator.exe")
BTW: The WaitForActive is removed/commented out in above script since I tried it but did not work with the following mouse commands since it did not wait long enough...
BTW2: I did use the autorun.exe which is included with MortScript and renamed it the same as the script file I created, so I can run an .exe to actually run the script. That way I could use it together with the Diamond TF3D Config tool (available here in the forum) to create an entry in Programs so that it is only one click to start the script.
BTW3: I have not yet tested anything that would notice when I exit TomTom so it would close the FM Radio app too. Currently I am doing this manually.....
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.
Are you saying that the navigation audio continues while you are on a phone call?
==================
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 think this is my problem when it comes to the music players (Pandora, Music, etc.). It seems like whenever I get the headset w/mic icon in the status bar, it constantly hits next. But when it just shows the earpiece icon it seems to work fine...is there any sort of explanation for this. Perhaps a way I can disable that whole feature?
PS...Running Inspired ROM (modified stock)
Just recently bought a Bluetooth Headset for my Motorcycle Helmet, I'm on ICS right now, SCV7. The problem I'm finding is that no matter which voice commands app I use (Vlingo, utter, Skyvi, Voice Search) I can't seem to get it to use the headset's mic to listen to me!
But whenever I take a call the microphone works just fine. When I go into the headset's bluetooth settings it is connected as both phone and media. I've tried both by themselves but didn't get a change. Phone calls work and music plays, but voice commands just don't.
Anyone have similar issues? Any ideas?
Would this be a hardware issue with the headset? Hardware with the phone? Or Software?
On a side note: Noticed that music effects have been really buggy with the headset.. MusicFX and DSPManager go crazy, make it sound worse than without them, like the speaker is about to explode from all the static. (Tried all Loudness levels, switching songs, and tried all equalizer settings but I can't pin it down, sometimes it'll be exploding ear-screeching sounds but when I open DSPManager it's as if it finally clicks and makes the equalizer work again.. goes away next song)
So, am I the only one out there annoyed that various GPS apps or other apps that use TTS via Bluetooth are sometimes either louder or more quiet than any song or talk radio show you may be listening to?
Drives me nuts. Google Maps is usually pretty good about volume. But sometimes it talks in a TTS voice that is louder or softer than one or another music app I'm listening to.
Navigon is almost always too quiet.
I'd really love to see an Xposed (or other) mod that lets us control just the TTS volume. So we can raise or lower it independent of any other audio stream.
Please help! :good:
