We've got a Mr. Handsfree in the car because i've got a Nokia from my work and my wife has got a Sharp GX-1 (GX-10 plug for the MR. Handsfree) phone.
I've also got an Locked XDA for private
Because wanna use my XDA in the car i was looking for a car kit.
I couldn't find one that was cheap plus my wife doesn't want a second car kit in the car.
I was looking at the jack plug from my wife's phone. And tought: "why shouldn't i try it with my XDA" And guess what: IT WORKS.
It sound's loud and clear.
So, if you'r looking for a cheap solutiuon:
Buy an mr. handsfree and a sharp plug (maybe there are more compatible plugs but this one works).
I have a Mr Handsfree kit for my Nokia 6310i, if you can you confirm that your phone has had no ill effects from this connection I might just purchase one. Does it also charge the phone while allowing conversation?
It seems that there aren't very much problems. Maybe a slight echo.
But hey, the cable costs around €20,- so that's not much.
The XDA wound't be charged with the because is uses the input/output from the headset.
I've heard that there will be an XDA cable from Mr. Handsfree later this month or in march, but this are rumours so i don't know for sure.
Anyone know of someway to use Bluetooth in any car stereo by the use of adding a Bluetooth receiver or something to the auxilliary port? I've messed my up my port on my phone before and I don't wanna do it again with my refurb . I listen to a lot of music...
You could plug an FM transmitter into the headphone socket and tune the car radio to it if that's any help, those things are very cheap these days and you can get them integrated into car chargers..

Love the idea but my radio is broken lol
Belkin makes a product for this. Two of them in fact. Look it up on belkins website under the iPhone in car section.

If you're willing to replace your head unit, search these forums for mention of the JVC KD-X50BT. Its a nice Bluetooth receiving head unit that apparently has some pretty decent sound. Reasonably priced, too! I plan on picking one up soon to use with my nexus.

The belkin, if its the cheap one we're both talking about, apparently has awful sound quality. Maybe the second of the two is better.
Always check reviews, just ignore the idiots lol

I remember looking on ebay and seeing what looked like a bluetooth box thing that connected through the aux port.
ie this: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/iKross-Bluet...ltDomain_0&hash=item51a218fae1#ht_2983wt_1032
For a simpler idea, cant one just use a male to male cable to connect it?
i just bought this and recieved it today..
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00727FE5U/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00
its great, no loss in sound quality, easy charging and easy pairing, small with short cord, comes with an adapter so you can also connect it to stereos/tvs/etc.., also has good BT range.

Oh thanks this is exactly what I was looking for! Can you easily switch the chord out with a longer one?
Do an ebay search for "bluetooth receiver", you'll find all kinds of devices. As for how well they work, well, let us know. :laugh:
You can try the flexsmart x2. It has a line out and line in jack. It is charger and Bluetooth as well. If you plug the line out to the head auxiliary jack then hook the device up through Bluetooth, you won't have to keep unplugging and plugging in. It could potentially work through Bluetooth.
I would try it, bit my car radio doesn't have an auxiliary jack though. Ill see If I can figure out a way to test it and report back.

They have a bluetooth 2.0 a2dp on deal extreme, it gives pretty decent sound and is only 13$, only downside is you have to wait for like a month for it to get here. I can post links yet as I havent hit 10 posts lol, but the sku is 8422 and its on Deal Xtreme. Happy hunting
I use this one in my truck.It did not come with bluetooth and I plug this in my aux to listen to music from the n7 or phone.It works well and pairs very easy.Battery last around 12 hours during use and charges in about 2.

Im using the HTC Stereo Clip. Awesome device. A little pricey but I think worth it because it does sound like it's directly plugged into the device.

I use the Stereo Clip as well. I've found that battery life on it sucks, so to remedy that I have it constantly plugged into a car charger. This works for me because both my AUX port and a charging port are inside my center console, so they are both hidden from view. Otherwise, you have to recharge it every 2 days or so.

How long do you have it connected? What's your bt device play time? I guess I don't use the clip enough in a shot to really compare. But I have been happy with it and I too, have it constantly plugged into my car charger.
I like some of these that I see here. The GoGroove has pretty decent reviews but can it charge while I use it in my car? Anything that I won't have to take out of my car to charge and has pretty decent audio quality will do. Also if it sleeps on its own when a Bluetooth device isn't connected to it. Really just needs to not be so much of a hassle to use and be reliable.
Hi Sorry if this has been posted before but I couldnt find it. Can anyone recomend a good speaker dock or failing that a good bluetooth speaker bar for our beloved note 2 . I'm not sure if the note 2 supports music out via the usb port, I think it does. Many thanks in advance

I've been looking at the grace matchstick speaker dock as it's a dock and can charge as well but I can't seem to find anyone who sells it in the uk
Has anyone tried this Samsung/I dock converter? It would certainly give more options if its fully functional

I like it a lot - it sounds great and charges my phone. The only thing I don't like about it is that the Bluetooth goes into standby after about 20 min. of no music and you have to hit the on button on it to start it up (I wish It would just be on all the time)
But walking over and hitting power button isn't a big deal - It only times out when there isn't any music playing for 20 min.
My cablejive samdock arrived today and I've got to say im impressed. It works on every idock ive tried it on and even charges the phone too. Would highly recommend it.

Hi
I'm thinking about creating something along the lines of Grace Digital GDI GSD8200 - in my option would be - (Bose sounddock + cablejive /samDock/ + iGRIP Universal Micro USB Charging Dock ) - mounted on the top of my Bose*
My question is - if micro usb plug form samDock will work with the iGRIP charging dock ? (charging and sound signal)or with any charging dock with micro usb ? How do you think?

fyi- USB out only works on stock roms. Aosp roms are missing the code. . But it can be added.

When I plug my headphones into the headphone jack, my phone goes berzerk. A track will be playing and then randomly switches, forwards to next track, etc and my dialer will pop up and start dialing random numbers (or maybe the last number I dialed) without me even touching the screen. If my phone is locked, the emergency dialer will pop up. It's like it has a mind of its own.
Anyone have any idea of what's going on? Maybe it's shorted somewhere?
Download headset blocker from the Play Store. That should fix your problem.

I'm using the HTC headphones that come packaged with the phone. In fact, I've been going through replacement phones (because of the build quality) and my first phone didn't have this issue with the same exact headphones. I decided to switch out the htc headphones from a different box and my phone still goes crazy. I want to say it's a defective headphone jack just because of that.

Mine did this also, it's the button on the headphones. It's extremely sensitive. I was cutting grass and it began switching songs quickly. Got my wife's headphones and it quit.

Hello guys !
I am not sure if anyone has noticed (or I'd rather say, has felt annoyed) by the stock headphones or by the output produced by the regular Jack 3.5 through their Type-C to Jack converter, but I have...
Personally, I am very demanding when it comes to music, and by choosing a 850-euro phone, this possible "issue" didn't cross my mind before I bought it. It seems like listening to music on this phone, (using headphones of course) comes with pluses and minuses.
As a Pro feature, the sound is excellent, the lows and highs sound quite good actually, but (there is a big "BUT") the maximum volume is too quiet, compared to other mainstream phones on the market, using mainly Jack interface for the headphones. The maximum volume on this phone, when using headphones is about 70-75% of the maximum volume on other phones (Mi Note Pro, Samsung Galaxy series, IPhone).
I made sure "Dolby atmos" is enabled, I have even tried raising all the EQ parameters (so that the general volume may be increased), I have also tried preamp-ing the sound with apps like Poweramp or Speakerbooster, but they would only sound like forced, and not actually louder, and the result is the same.
So, my sole question is : what should I do/buy/try in order to get a LOUDER experience when using headphones ?
Thank you in advance !
P.S.: sorry if I'm being awkward, it's my first post on XDA. Cheers !
Is there a safety volume limiter on?

Because in wired mode the headphones are driven by the phone's amp and in Bluetooth they are driven by their own internal amp. Its why you can use wired mode even when the headphone battery is depleted.
How about any advice buying replacement earphones instead of the adapter? I'd rather just have one external thing to not lose. Are there any USB-C earphones that will do the same job as the replacement USB-C to 3.5mm for regular earphones?

I don't think I need head/earphones. I have 2 pairs of earphones (Samsung and Sennheiser), a pair of HyperX Cloud Stinger II, and studio headsets from Focusrite. I have tried all of them. And they are not the problem.
I've had many Huawei phones and 3,5mm volume has always been too low

I use the HTC dongle linked in the video above. It makes a noticeable difference. Even my cheap £15 earphones are much louder using it over the Huawei dongle.
It won't blow you away, so be realistic but it is DEFINITELY a noticeable improvement and worth the investment if you listen to music.
In fact, even my larger headphones were louder but I think you need a dac/amp to really enjoy louder volumes on large headphones. It's the cheap earphones that I found gave the loudest sound.
