Audio for the car - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys!
So before owning an xperia z, i had the galaxy note (great phone) and i'd run my music through an AUX cable so it would come out through the car speakers (i ain't got blue-tooth in the care).
Now since I've got the xperia z, its becoming a hassle to open and close the flaps every time. So i wanna know if there is a device out there that's can act as a bridge? Xperia > device (via blue-tooth) >AUX cable > Car.
preferably the device should be small, no bigger then a pc mouse.
So yeah, if any has any info or something that's similar or better please share:fingers-crossed:

like you, i'm waiting for this

There are other ones already sold in Sony Mobile but they are more expensive

Personally have been using this one.
http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/accessories/mw600/
Works great. Essentially the same thing as previously mentioned. Just go for whichever is cheaper.

That's exactly what i'm talking about! Be perfect for my car!!
I actually had a different model of the MW600... but i've lost it... would of been perfect! Damn!

I'm using this in my car: http://www.avantalk.com/products02.php?id=62
It's working great to stream music from the XZ. Works also with Youtube, Digitally Imported, ...

u can use another smartphone with google music and connect it to your car

Something like this?

Or upgrade your headunit to one with integrated Bluetooth.
Some of the adapters (like the one above) do have some issues with automatic connection/reconnection when the car powers on... But that's the general type of device you're looking for, search around and check reviews.

Why not just use a speaker ?

I have the MW600 (came with my wife´s SonyEricsson phone some years ago), and works perfectly apart from it does not work with the micro USB charger cable attached.
You need to charge it, then disconnect it from the charger to use it. Would be perfect if would work with the charger cable in and would power on with the charger plugged in (read, ignition on).

[Q] Best Bluetooth Car Stereo

Hey fellow xda members just wondering if you guys had any opinions on Bluetooth stereos for cars. I'm getting a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Wednesday and the radio is stock which is a cassette. I've always used my aux port but wanna be able to use something with a remote and no wires. I already have a universal dock for my Nexus and will also look at work to see what radios we have and what my discount is (Best Buy). Just want some suggestions on brands or specific units. I saw this one but still wanna look
here's mine
works perfectly with my NS, used with LiquidA1 too, it bridges any sound from the phone

New Nexus 7 Car Install pics+video

I decided a while ago to use my Nexus 7 as my head unit in my 2006 Legacy 3.0R. This is the result.
Audio is done via a Kenwood FM modulator, and bluetooth streaming to the pre-existing Parrot system as a backup.
In the near future I'm going to mount a 3G-wifi hotspot and Seagate Satellite wifi hard drive in the glove box for internet and media streaming.
Video and better pics coming later tonight
reserved for more pics/video
I really wanted to use the nexus 7 with my car install. But limited storage, and no usb otg/charge at same time. If that was possible it would be in my dash now.
Im going to use a galaxy tab 2 since it can take a 64gb sd. Really wish there was a solution.
But nice, clean install. Im adding mine to my Dodge Magnum.

Segate Goflex Satellite or the Kingston Wi-Drive will solve my storage issues. For now 16GB is enough for just music.
Id like to hear about your experience with that Seagate satellite. It would be nifty to stream that to tablet via wifi and tablet to Kenwood cd player via bluetooth. Talk about ultimate right there, mhm...

Ive also used my Nexus as my media player in my Toyota 86 (FR-S), im using a JVC KD-X50BT which has bluetooth and its just media player so no CD drive which is behind the tablet and it has two USB plus. I use one USB for external USB drives and the other one is for the bluetooth which my cellphone is paired it so i can receive calls while driving. The tablet is plugged into the AUX port for the sound, but the tablet is powered by a mini USB charger 2.1amp in my extra cigarette plug. Im using my cell as a hot spot so that i can stream pandora, netflix, google maps..etc through the tablet. also to contol the volume of my radio thats tucked in the back i used an IR repeater for my remote which i can also change from AUX to USB. Here is what it looks like in the car..

It's not really an issue. The tablet turns on and stays on when it connects to power (when the car turns on), then it turns off after a 30 sec timeout once I turn the car off.
As for volume, I usually just leave it on max but there are plenty of widgets on Google Play that can be used to control the volume.
Unfortunately I do need to clip the panel out to turn it off and on, but I don't anticipate needing to to that too often.

Do you have more pic of your instal ? Inside ?
I want to do this in my Toyota Prius Gen III so badly! I just have NO IDEA where to start. I'm excellent with computers, tablets, and phones, but I know nothing about car audio/fabrication etc.
Therefore, I ordered a Monoprice bluetooth receiver and a Nexus 7 Vent mount off eBay for $15. http://www.ebay.com/itm/221123164714?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649 This will work in the mean time but I REALLY WANT TO FAB a custom front panel and get rid of that weird looking slim slot thingy.

[Q] RAZRi compatible headphones?

Hi everybody,
To be honest I was very dissapointed when I opened the RAZR i box and noticed it came without headphones, I know a lot of people says all stock headphones su*ks, but, I am one of the few persons who still use stock headphones for playing music, talking to people while driving, etc.
I have tried to use 2 kinds of headphones with mic for the talking while driving purpose, but not even one of them worked. (iphone & sony headphones)
Is it going to be a pain in the ass finding a good compatible pair of headphones with mic?
Mine came with stock headphones/mic.

Really?
Now I'm confused, because a friend of mine and I bought the phone the same day, and none of them came with stock headphones, just the usb cable and charging adapter, I guess thats how they sell it just here @ Latin América or more specifically México.
Kind of su*ks.

If you are looking for working headphones, I use the Sony MW600.
All buttons work a intended by the manufacturer, sound is good, my conversation partners have no trouble understanding me even with a lot of noise around, the battery lasts for about 12 hours of nonstop music.
Look guys...

Mine came with its own headphone.
But i bought a Jayz One+ headphone which is fully compatible.(better quality than Moto's headphone)
So, i managed to break my stock headphones. they were pretty rubbish and i'm looking to replace them anyway, but if anyone could recommend a cheap alternative that would be great.
It's a shame that the other headsets i have (that i had previously with my xperia ray) don't work in that they are only detected as non-microphone headphones and the volume is muted unless the button is help down, so i can't start/stop music or answer calls or speak with people using them.
i don't want bluetooth or anything, just some cheap wired ones.
Mine came with
Manual - Guide
Auriculares Motorola - Stock headphones
Cable USB
Accesorio para extraer sim - Sim and sdcard extracter
Cargador de batería - Battery charger
I bought it in Claro, Argentina.
I suggest that you will have to buy a headphone in a local. They are like 10U$D more or less.

Looking for a Stereo BT headset for Workout and Movies

I am looking for some help. Now that I have a tablet and I am trying to find a good BT stereo headset for it. I am going to mostly use the headset for listening to my tablet for movies and doing items on my tablet where I do not want to bug my wife and others.
I am also going to want to use it with my phone when I am working out or working on items where a tablet is just too big to have around. I went to Best Buy and they stated to use the Jaybird ones. They are going to take a large chunk out of my wallet. I am trying to find what else is out there and would have good sound quality and bass for movies but can take getting all sweating in a work out.
Thank you for any help or tips on this. Just kind of stuck right now.
You can also look at getting a receiver that has a headphone jack and use the headphone of choice.

Motorola has some water resistant ones but they are trash. Go with the jaybirds. I have several friends with them and they work great, and don't short out.
I have a Sony mw600 receiver that works pretty well. And with a standard 3.5 mm jack you can use any headset you want.
It's not as "clean" as a pure bt headset, but it's a lot more flexible. It has fm radio as well, a nice addition.
The only downside I found is the touch/pressure/whatever sensitive volume slider is a bit fiddly.
There is supposedly a newer version out, mw600s, but no idea about the changes and/or improvements.

I've used the Motorola S9 and now the S10 bluetooth stereo headsets. The S9 I sent back at least 4 times because sweat gets into the buttons and when you press up or down on them it sticks the contact and acts as if you are holding it down. I finally got out of the warranty period and found that if I put them on the airconditioner return (on the floor) for a few days they work fine. I have to say that the S10 has not had that problem. In both cases, the "in ear" nature of the S9 and S10 do not fit me well. Of course fit is highly subjective so take it for what it's worth.
The S9 had better sound to me than the S10 and was easier to control (when there wasn't sweat behind the buttons). On the S10 I have to really press the buttons hard to activate them. The pads on the end of each side on the S10 came off in the first week. They were stuck on with what is essentially double sided tape. I tried to glue one back on with super glue which just hardened the semi-soft pad into a wrinkled mess. I used a dremel with an abrasive buffer tip to smooth it down.
Finally, the soft ear tips on the S10 come off almost every time I take the headset off. Of course the headset is useless if you loose the tips...well, it works, but is pretty uncomfortable in your ears. The one good experience was that I called Motorola and they sent me a bag of the tips for free. So now I have (I think) 6 pairs, two each of each size. No hassle from customer service. I was ready to pay something, but they just sent them for free.
I'm in the market for some new stereo headphones for the gym. They must be bluetooth, take calls, and have controls on them. The problem is that it's an expensive game of hit or miss on fit and function although I can return them to BestBuy if needed.
It might seem that I'm down on the S9 and S10. In general, I like the way they fit around my neck, I just wish they would nail it instead of staying at about 80%.
Just my 2 cents.
I have a Sennheiser pxc 310, it's a very good device, but the big problem with bluetooth, movie and nexus 7, is the latency between sound and pictures.
I have the galaxy note 2 and there is no such problem, maybe the apt-x codec solve the problem.
Give the LG HBS-700 a shot. I use them for everything from work, to tv, to working out at the gym.
They sound decent and have a decent battery life.
My only gripe with them is that they slip a little when on the bench.

I'm using the LG HBS700 with So Slim Rom and the sound/video is very laggy and choppy over BT. Even when I play local files or ones over the network. I even tried watching a movie on Netflix. If I stop the video and plug in some headphones directly, it works fine. Anyone else have this problem? Might have to try a different Rom.

I have this problem on the stock ROM, if you do some searching apparently it's a common bug introduced recently.
It's pretty disappointing as I got a Jabra clip to make listening while on the treadmill easier and it's just skippy as hell.

USB-C to 3.5mm Dongle Issue (& Recommendations?)

What's going on 8T friends? I was hoping you guys might have some input and/or recommendations for a *GOOD* headphone dongle...one that has been tested to work without issue, specifically with this phone - the OnePlus 8T.
I want to start by apologizing for the super long-winded post!!! I also want to preface this by saying there is a possibility my issue may not lie w/ my current adapter, but possibly w/ my car's (old) aftermarket head unit...though I think it's unlikely given its never had an issue w/ any other phone or dongle.
*EDIT: I suppose it's also possible that there's some firmware issue & perhaps an update might resolve it, but I'm at the mercy of T-Mobile US & their *SLOW* update schedule. International phones have had like 4 updates in a month, & we've only had the day one update (still no AOD!).
I know it should be something super simple and there's likely many, *MANY* similar threads in other devices' forums, along w/ OnePlus Community & Reddit as well. But *please*, just hear me out. I feel like a dumb**s for even having to post this. There's crazy inconsistency w/ what's supposed to be a f***ing universal standard...this s**t is far from working universally!
I've had experience with 3 separate models of adapter w/ my previous phone, the OnePlus *7 Pro* (on Android 10). With the 7 Pro, I found that the Essential Phone's dongle worked flawlessly in every scenario I need it for. It's less expensive than the official Oneplus branded one, & generally just of better quality, w/ a thicker braided cable. I also had the official a OnePlus dongle which also worked perfectly w/ my old 7 Pro, but I lost the damn thing...plus, it's just too expensive, & OnePlus doesn't even have it in stock?!?! I also used the Apple dongle - surprisingly cheaper than OnePlus' dongle, but the volume level was permanently way too low, w/ no way to resolve that (I tried for nearly a month). The Apple one has long since been returned.
I am currently still using the Essential dongle as it's the only one I haven't yet lost or returned, but I'm running into a strange issue on both my phone & my girl's 8T as well (both are T-Mobile branded 8Ts, the "8T+5G", which is the exact same hardware the rest of the world gets, just w/ different firmware). The Essential dongle is flawless w/ the 7 Pro, & also flawless when just plugging it in to regular headphones - but when hooking it up to an aux cable & plugging it into our car's old, aftermarket head unit to play music or videos, there is a completely random/intermittent issue where whatever app is playing audio will pause itself, & then more often than not it'll also start making this crazy, strange, squealing distortion sound...but no longer any actual audio. This occurs regardless of what app we're using to play music or videos (YouTube Music, regular YouTube, Spotify, etc.). It seems to be totally random, sometimes working fine for a bit, but then going completely haywire...and once it's starts happening, it just won't quit. Sometimes switching to another app will start it, sometimes an incoming text message will start it, & sometimes it'll do it all by itself. This happens w/ USB OTG enabled or disabled, & I've tested it w/ 3 separate aux cables.
I'm at a loss, & I just wanted to get someone else's input before buying like 5 random ones of Amazon or eBay. We're at the point where we're just listening to old CDs because we can't stream anything current, & we're too broke to replace a head unit just to find that's not even the issue. *THIS IS ABSOLUTELY MADDENING*.
I would just buy the OnePlus dongle again, but they can't be bothered to keep it in inventory...at least for customers in the US. Any thoughts at all on what the issue could be would be infinitely appreciated, asking w/ dongle recommendations as well of course.
*THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO ME RAMBLE!!!*

Thank you so much for your reply. I noticed you mentioned analog. Do you think the issue might be from the Essential one being active? That never occurred to me...I always assumed active ones would be better, instead of relying on the phone's DAC. You might be on to something there! Thanks again

I went to best buy and tested the Google and apple dongles. . The apple one sounded great but suffered from the low volume issue. The Google one sounded great and had no low volume issue. I kept that one. Returned the apple one.
It works flawlessly. Is $12. It also has a great Soundstage and volume. No problems here in anyway.
Also, just as a heads up, I use it with PowerAmp and it sounds great really. I have a lg v20 for when I want the best sound but this does the trick for when I'm just trying to not have a million peripherals.

Sound is distorted with default settings, but when you use the following settings, you will love this combo
DVC enabled
OpenSL Hi res having USB DAC enabled
Press the gear and bypass EQ
I wondered why I didn't purchase Poweramp license?

Edit: @mingkee , I meant to reply to you here. My fault. XDA Labs kind of sucks.
I just wanted to let you know I pulled the trigger and bought a two pack of the Moto dongle you suggested off Amazon for less than $9...and you were right!!! So, many, many thanks to you kind sir/ma'am/whatever.
I've been in the car for half and hour trying to do anything I can to force that issue upon myself, and it just doesn't happen now! I really appreciate you!
My infinite appreciation to you. ?

You were right, they worked! I replied to you to explain my current (excellent) experience with the Moto dongle (in my previous post above), but replied to the wrong person/comment because of my user error and XDA Labs sucking on mobile. But seriously, thank you!!!

This is what I bought. I guess they are what Moto include, and not made my Moto (rarely are any of these made by the phone manufacturers I think). Just ordered another 2 pack after receiving the 1st LOL. They get lost easy enough. I've been pushing it, trying to force any of my previous issues and they've been working like a champ for me.

https://www.amazon.com/Motorola-USB...Moto+z3+headset+adapter&qid=1605505191&sr=8-3
Note: analog ONLY
Both 8T and N10 are capable up to 24bit/384kHz with Poweramp both analog and digital out (digital adapter dependent)
I tested HTC adapter, Apple USB C audio adapter, Google USB C audio adapter, and Anker USB C to lightning audio adapter
All are capable 24bit/384kHz as well
Hello, I would like to ask, why with official original USBC to jack adapter is not listed 8T as compatible device?
OnePlus Type-C to 3.5mm Adapter
www.oneplus.com
I've tried very cheap premiumcord one and it's very noisy even without playing anything. So I would like to try original adapter, there isn't any different on oneplus site for 8 or 8T, why's that?
Thanks
Has anyone give an adapter like this a try?
USB Audio/Charge

Thanks, if anyone finds a working one let me know.
The one for Pixel (digital) is good also
24bit/384kHz supported
I've bought just generic from aliexpress, can't say much about it's sound quality as i don't use it
Just to add to this information, I purchased the Google USB C to 3.5 adapter and it works great. I also purchased this one off of Amazon and works equally as well. USB Type C to 3.5mm Female Headphone Jack Adapter
I went and bought a Samsung USB-C headphone adapter after I lost two previous OnePlus adapters with my 6T. Well, it worked flawlessly until I ended up losing it as well. Bought mine from BestBuy.
