Galaxy S3 doesn't connect to bluetooth when audio jack is in use

Here is my issue with my Galaxy S3.  My car has buil in bluetooth hands free.  The car stereo has an AUX input for music.  If I have a cable connecting the phone to the AUX jack for music I can not send/receive calls via the bluetooth.
I was able to do this seamlessly with my old Droid.  The music would mute and I could answer the phone with the steering wheel controls.
now I need to unhook the wire from the phones audio jack.  I see this as more than inconvienence but an actual safety issue.  Unpluging and repluging in wires while driving defeats the point of a "handsfree".
Is anyone else having the same issue?  have you found a work around?

I'm also having this problem. So are over 50 people to date, and I'm sure we're just the only ones who are active. http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s3/576056-can-not-use-bluetooth-when-audio-jack-plugged.html
Can this be fixed? This is extremely dangerous. I use my phone as an mp3 player and connect it through the audio jack in my car, and also want to use my bluetooth headset to make and receive calls. Instead the call comes through my speakers and there is no microphone, leaving me scrambling to unplug my audio cable while driving.
People say that the original firmware didn't have this problem. Samsung says it's Verizon, Verizon says its Samsung, I dont care who is liable as long as someone fixes it!
Thanks

  • I have an airport extreme which doesn't come with a straight audio jack on it like the express. Can I get a converter to go from the dual speaker plugs to usb on the extreme?

    I have an airport extreme which doesn't come with a straight audio jack on it like the express does. Can I get a converter to go from the dual speaker plugs to usb on the extreme?

    Sorry, but no. The only Apple router with an audio output jack is the AirPort Express.

  • Galaxy S3 doesn't connect to computer after KitKat update

    I am trying to connect my S3 to my computer but it doesn't connect.  Does anybody know how to get it working again?

    My device it is not rooted.  So these are the instructions. 
    Enable MTP
    Connect the device to a computer using the supplied USB cable.
    If necessary, select and hold the status bar (located at the top) then drag to the bottom.
    Select Connected as a media device.
    Select Media device (MTP).
    Selected when a check mark is present.
    Disable MTP
    Ensure the device is disconnected from the computer or switch USB connection modes.
    To switch modes, select and hold the status bar (located at the top) then drag to the bottom.
    Select Connected as a media device.
    Select Camera (PTP).
    Selected when a check mark is present.
    The problem is that the icon for connected as a media device does not show up. I did not have this issue before the over the air update from Verizon to 4.4.

  • Pantech UM290 doesn't connect to internet when my LAN is on

    I use the Pantech UM290 to connect to the internet (travel between 2 different locations).  When I have my LAN turned on (no internet connection) which I use to connect to my printer (in another room) I can't connect to internet.  Pantech says it's connected but looks like my computer is using LAN 1st so internet connection.  How can I change priority so Pantech is always 1st not my LAN for internet access?

    Bob,  I am having the same problem with my UML290: I can't get my computer running Win 7 Ultimate to support both a LAN connection and the UML290 connection simultaneously.  When the Pantech modem is connected the LAN shuts down and I can't access my printer or use a WiFi modem to share connections with Kindels and Laptops around the house.  I would connect the UML290 through a standalone Wireless N router running DD-WRT variant but can't get that to work either.  I can get it to recognize the Pantech but needs User ID and Password which is baked into the software and can't be looked up directly.  Verizon needs to address this situation... soon!

  • IMac force select "Display Audio" when headphone jack is in use

    I have a new 2012 iMac and Thunderbolt Display.  I use the Display Audio from time to time, but also use a set of high quality speakers plugged in to the headphone jack.
    Some applications, like Chrome (Google Hangout, Gmail phone calls) will default to using the Display Audio as the speaker.  If I have the headphone jack in use (using the desk speakers), then the Audio System Preferences will NOT let me select the "Display Audio" device.  It will immediately highlight "Headphone" again.  The problem is if I want to change the "Display Audio" volume, I have to remove the cable from the headphone port, then change the audio, then plug it back in the headphone port.
    It's quite annoying.
    Is there any way to change this?
    As a second request, is there an app that allows you to select which audio device applications will use?  Like, if I wanted to change Chrome from using the Display Audio (not sure why thats the default anyway), or another application to only use the headphone port...

    Hi,
    The problem with the selection of the headphone port is something I reported to Apple back in October 2012.  After some time, the reply came back that this was intended behaviour, and my bug report was subsequently marked as, "behaves correctly"!  I agree with you that this is a pain in the backside and certainly appears to be bug-like behaviour.  If you can take the time, I'd ask you to file your own bug report on this matter here.  Perhaps it'll help cause a re-think.  You should be able to log in with your Apple ID.
    As for your second question: many people are asking this now.  Rogue Amoeba made such a thing years ago, but it doesn't work on modern, Intel-based Macs.  Maybe they'd consider updating it if enough people asked?
    For Chrome, you can use ChromeLauncherWithExtraAudio - I've tried it and it works fine, though once you've changed the audio output on launch you have to quit and re-launch to change it again.  If you want to choose where to send audio from movies, radio and so forth you could start using VLC, which completely ignores the system audio settings, and lets you choose from any connected audio outputs.

  • Internal speakers won't mute when audio jack in use

    I recently fixed my problem of no sound coming out of any speakers (by turning off Auto-Mute Mode in alsamixer), but now when I plug earphones into the audio jack my built-in speakers don't turn off. I am positive that the audio jack is working, as there is sound coming through the earphones, but sound is also coming through the built-in ones. I am confused because when I first got Arch installed, my earphones would work but not the main speakers. Then nothing worked, and now it won't stop coming through both of them! I will be sure to check back regularly to update you with any information needed.

  • Doesn't connect to server when i try to enable web services.

    WHAT DO I DO!?

    I own a Mac (Intel, Snow Leopard) computer and recently purchased the HP OfficeJet Pro 8500a Plus eAll-in-One a910g CM756a printer for its ePrint and AirPrint features.  On setup of ePrint, I received numerous error messages:  "Unable to connect to web server" and "Printer unable to connect to web server" and "Enter Proxy Number" and "Enter IP number" and so on.  
    Here was my cure:  Turn on "Auto Proxy Discovery."  To do this, go to the Apple in the upper left corner of the computer screen, then System Preferences, then Network, then Advanced (in the lower right corner of this page), then Proxies. In the window titled "Select a Protocol to Configure" on the Proxies page, turn on (that is, checkmark) "Auto Proxy Discovery."
    I then tapped the ePrint icon on the printer and was immediately taken to the ePrint sign-up/sign-in page.  I hope this works for you.

  • IPhone 5S with ios8 fail to connect my Bluetooth car audio system

    Dear apple users and developers,
    I have read many threads about this issue mostly for iPhone 5 (ok i have the 5S) perhaps this makes a difference. With the ios7 i had no issue and always connected to my MHV-8300BT Pioneer device in my car. After update, when i get connected, i says "Calling My number" and when i push the button on my device to answer it drops the line, it keeps the connection but i do not hear, speak. Then i have to change the source voice system and i set the speaker or the iPhone.
    On my fathers Bluetooth, a Motorola, it works, at the beginning i made a reset only for the Network settings,
    Do not know what else to do
    Thanks for reading my post

  • Re : Apple TV doesn't connect to a Wi-Fi Broadband Internet Service using Airport Extreme

    Hi, using Airport Extreme (Airport Utility version 6.3.2, Internet :DHCP, Router mode : Off (Bridge)) with a Wi-Fi Broadband Internet service. My Desktop (iMac), Macbook,iPhone,iPad join the Airport Extreme Wirelessi network (WPA/WPA2 Personal) easily and Broadband ISP Login-page pops up with username & password options. However, in case of Apple TV (2nd Generation Software : 6.0.2 (6646.81.1)), it connects the Airport Extreme W-Fi network easily but no Broadband ISP Login-page pops up with username & password options. Even using the Ethernet connection of the said Wi-Fi Broadband Internet Service directly to the Apple TV, no internet network connects. Please help.

    There is no way you can handle login details with the ATV and there is probably no way you can do it with extreme in router mode either.. If you need to use a login name and password via a html screen then that is impossible in a device without html.
    But your newest addition confuses me.
    A slight correction in the question : the Broadband Internet Service isn't Wireless, but having Ethernet connection to the Airport Extreme.
    So how do your iphones pop up a login page.
    easily and Broadband ISP Login-page pops up with username & password options.
    The alternative method is to use a computer .. login to your service and use ICS through the computer to the ATV..
    See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0jJe_BkQMRc
    Or any site that shows how to route internet through a computer.

  • TS1741 My iPod doesn't connect with my Apple TV. My iPod used to but now it doesn't and I have no idea why!? My iPod is updated with the iOS.  So please help thanx a lot!

    Please help!

    Hi,
    My thought is to check the current IP of the server, as your smb.conf has the line interfaces = 192.168.1.109 which means samba will only listen on that interface for requests. If the IP of the server has changed, that would explain why samba isn't working.

  • Phone/car volume mismatch when connected via bluetooth

    I use Audible to listen to books on my Samsung Galaxy Note 2 in my car while connected via Bluetooth.   My problem is that I must turn the car stereo volume extremely high in order to hear adequately.  This results in getting blasted by the car stereo when the smartphone is not connected because I never remember to turn it back down.  Is there a means to get the phone volume and car stereo volume more in sync?

    Bump. Anyone from Sony planning to do anything about this or is it new phone time?
    Be a shame if its the latter but if the software doesn't function correctly for something basic like BT audio the phone is effectively a brick. 

  • Bluetooth Doesn't connect all the time

    My Ford MobileEase Bluetooth in my car only works some of the time. I got it paired up fine but it doesn't always connect and even when it does connect it will sometimes just disconnect. My 3GS worked fine with iOS3 but not with iOS4 only the OS has changed so it is not a hardware issue
    Any suggestions?

    Maybe when they ban Taxi Drivers from using their In-Car computers and ban Cops from using their In-Car computers, then they can ban people from using hands free phones.  Plus they better ban people from changing the radio station in their car, and whilst they're at it.....might as well ban people from adjusting their air conditioner. 
    Pretty ironic that you can't use a hands free phone in your car, but yet you can use a CB Radio!
    Maybe they should look at enforcing laws that are applicable to everyone and not just selected groups!  But I suppose they do have budgets to meet!  :-)

  • HT204368 I have an IPhone 5 & Bluetooth just keeps searching & doesn't connect to devices I'm trying to pair with. Says "not supported"

    Sorry, if I've posted in the incorrect place. First post, please bare with me.
    I've been trying to transfer photos from my old Samsung Galaxy Ace &amp; Toshiba laptop via Bluetooth to my iPhone 5.
    iPhone but message of "not supported" comes up when pairing. iPhone stays in search mode when trying to discover devices &amp; does nothing.
    Thanking you all in advance for your patience, understanding &amp; help.

    All you can connect via BT are headsets and keyboards. You cannot connect to your Galaxy or laptop. That's why it says "not supported."
