[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Freelancerx:
ok i have a question for anyone that has the Actual HTC Steroclip. I went and bought the HS3000 and i noticed that while playing music the Beats ausio setting automatically changes to "beats Other" If i hook up the aux cable and play music through that it will use "Beats URbeats" the way i had it set up. So could somone check to see if the HTC stereoclip also changes automatically to "beats Other" or if you use "beats URbeats" does it keep using "beats URbeats" ? Im wondering if HTC did something to where you need their hardware to use the better "beats" settings. the different beats audio settings are in the settings > sound > sound enhancer

you can see on the top left the drop down to change the "beats audio" setting

I posted this in the htc stereoclip thread, but i wanted to ask other hs3000 users to see if they notice that the Beats audio setting is automatically changing to "beats other" doesnt let me change it to "beats urbeats"
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Ph33zy:
I don't use beats in the car because it distorts the voice navigation on Google maps. Can anyone confirm this or is it just my phone?

I flashed DSP manager and it sounds really good with the added bass option.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] corys00:
I just want some clarification on this before I buy this. The HS3000 will mute my music and route my calls to my stereo when a call comes through? If so, I'm jumping on this today.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] couragedragon:
Hmmm... I don't recall mine getting distorted, but I was playing with all the different sound modes so it's possible I settled on Warmth or Sweetener which wasn't distorting my sound.

Yes it will.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] IIIMik3:
hmm, i just received mine, and while testing it out, i noticed that it seems to have a bit of lag. When watching videos the audio will be about .5 - 1.5 secs behind. Anyone else experiencing this?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shadowhawk2020:
Any quick tutorials on how you power it behind the dash? I am not completely sold on the Microphone function, but the audio quality is amazing for a $30 item.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] couragedragon:
I hadn't used it to watch a movie until I saw your post. Yep, there's definitely lag going through the bluetooth. I tested it using MX Player and BSPlayer Lite, plugging it into the headphone jack directly and then in to the bluetooth. I was able to minimize it a little playing with the S/W vs H/W decoding options, but still noticeable. I get pretty annoyed by stuff like that so I probably won't be watching movies with it.

There are several ways to do it, here's the way I've done it.

1) Splice into a 12V lead behind your dash. There's usually two leads going to your stereo (one constant (always on) and one ignition controlled). There's also the lead to your cigarette lighter. Pick one.

2) Get an additional 12V socket to splice into that lead. You can ground it to the car directly or through the other grounds. (Your results will vary. If you get annoying hums, its called a ground loop feedback and you'll need to play with your grounding spots to try and get rid of it.)

3) Get a 12V USB charger (edit for clarity : a USB car charger that plugs into a lighter socket (which runs off your car's 12V electrical system) - (any 1+ amp rated one so it charges in A/C mode) ) and plug it into the socket you just wired into your car. Now just get a USB to MicroUSB cable and plug it in.

4) Hide it all in your dash.

If you know a little about wiring and what not, you can skip the sockets and directly wire to the charger. (Make sure your charger has a fuse, and if it doesn't you should add one.)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] modplan:
Woah Woah. USB power is 5V not 12V. You need to get a converter to charge it.

Can someone please explain to me how I would use this in my truck. I have a 06 trailblazer with navigation but I don't see any aux inputs on it. What exactly does this do. Thanks
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] IIIMik3:
yeah, it's kind of annoying me right now. Is it the hs3000 or is it the evo 4g lte that's causing the issue?

---------- Post added 24th June 2012 at 12:06 AM ---------- Previous post was 23rd June 2012 at 11:19 PM ----------

you'll need some sort of aux input in order to use this in your truck. Basically you would use a cable to plug this unit into the auxilary port. your phone will stream music to this device over bluetooth and the device will output it to your stereo via the aux port.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] corys00:
Newegg has it at $23.99 now as well with free ground shipping.

Here is my setup in my Toyota Tundra.

Picture 1: The car dock on the drivers side of the windshield with a 12 foot power cord ran down the drivers side column, under the carpet, and into the shifter compartment.

Picture 2: How my setup looks from the outside. 1 USB cord plugged into the cigarette charger, 1 AUX Cable

Picture 3: The Samsung HS3000 with power and audio plugged in. This is right below the cup holders seen in picture 2 for easy access. The cup holders pop right out. Now I can easily remove the HS3000 for use with headphones or in a friend's vehicle.

Picture 4: Everything all hooked up in the area below Picture 3 (shifter compartment). Here is how it works.

Power: Cigarette Lighter > USB Cord > 4 Port USB Hub > HS3000 AND the Car Dock are plugged into this USB Hub to split the power

Audio: Aux Port > Kensington Noise Reducing Car Audio AUX Cable (Ground Loop Isolator $13 on Amazon) > HS3000

The audio quality is now perfect and thanks to some Tasker profiles, everything is connected and ready as soon as I drop the phone into the car dock and I can immediately start playing music.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] snakecharmer23:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] funcrusher:
So you'd need some kind of male 2 male adapter?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] shadowhawk2020:
Anyone have a problem having it automatically connect? If I leave my Bluetooth on, and the device turns on with the car it doesn't pair. If my Bluetooth is off and I turn it on when I get in the car it automatically connects.

It isn't that big of a deal for me, but I want to get one for my wife and she wo.t want to deal with that everyone she gets in the car. Any thoughts?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] couragedragon:
I'm pretty sure it's a power saving feature, otherwise it would have to constantly scan for a signal to connect.

All you have to do is hit the big call answer button to have it pair nearly instantly. If that's too much trouble for her, she's probably out of luck.

Or you can do what some of the others did and hard wire it to your car by clipping the battery. I think that will make it turn on with your car. Can one of you guys condirm that?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] couragedragon:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] donatom3:
Yup it turns on and off with the car if you clip the battery. Mine connects every time I start my car.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jaihawk8:
I recently received this and have been using it more for bluetooth headphones when I bike into the office. I keep the phone in upper part of my backpack and the clip in on the front collar of my shirt. I routinely have audio cutting out on me. Last night, I used it to mow the yard with my phone in my left front pocket and the clip on my right front pocket. Any time I would bend down to pick a weed, the audio would pretty much cut out. Has anyone else had these kinds of problems?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] funcrusher:
EEk. I should have done more research before purchasing. My aux jack is in the front of my unit and I don't want any kind of cable coming from it. I should have just went with the HTC stereoclip, so I could just plug it right in.

I guess I can search for a 3.5 mm male to male adapter.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] IIIMik3:
so after a few days of having mine, it seems to be working perfectly except for the lag when watching videos. Sucks, because other than that it's working exactly how i want it to in my car.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lacrossev:
Unfortunately that seems to be an ICS bug, i've had it with cm9 on the evo, cm9 on this, various ICS builds on my transformer, and of course the stock roms. I hope someone either comes up with a video player that supports time delays or whatever this issue is can be ironed out eventually.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] couragedragon:
Btw, after reading your post, today I made a point to notice if I had this issue while running errands. I left it on in the car while removing the phone while I was grocery shopping, etc and even after 30 min, it would connect instantly when I got back to the car and dropped my phone in the dock without having to push any buttons.

I've only had the issue in your first scenario where a major portion of my body was between the phone and the receiver, but when I moved everything to the same side of my body the issues resolved

Yeah, I did some research into it, and it doesn't seem isolated to this phone, but it might be fixable via mod. Seems to be the way the bluetooth protocol is implemented on some devices versus others.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] IIIMik3:
hmm, how do we go about bringing this up to HTC to get them to look in to it? I haven't heard too much about the issue, so i dunno how likely they would know about it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lacrossev:
From what i gathered its an ICS issue so i don't know how much HTC can do to fix it. It happens on my transformer as well as the original Evo on ICS, but not on gingerbread and not on honeycomb for the transformer.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] sracercelica:
I think you are looking for this. Unfortunately I couldnt find it in Monoprice where I buy my cables from. I have never ordered from this place.

Samsung HS3000 working great with my new Evo.

No hissing issue while charging (as I had with my Scosche MotorMouth 2).

I like the active pairing which automatically connects when I am in range or get in the car.

Going to get a second unit dedicated for the car.

When using this in my car, connected to the aux jack, I get what I can only describe as kind of a click -- the audio will go out quickly, then come back on. Doesn't happen when just using headphones.

I have no clue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Philosuffer:
Anyone tried a headphone amp in between the hs3000 and aux port? A friend of mine said that he had good results with it. Haven't heard his system yet though. I do have a headphone amp, but won't get my hs3000 until Tuesday probably. So, I guess I'll have to test then.

Something like this:

So whaqt kind of adapter do I need to use with this, just to connect it into my car's AUX Jack? I just bought the HTC Stereo Clip, and it sounds great, but i want the talking functionality with it. If someone could point me to the right adapter for my car, i would greatly appreciate it

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] IIIMik3:
i would suggest against this cable. I have one of these specific ones, and it's excessively large. The plug ends are actually thicker than the receiver itself. Just find any standard stereo 3.5mm male-male cable, not one of these "premium" ones. Or you can use the little 1inch adapter that's linked a few posts up.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Yeah I'm gonna use a 6ft aux cable and rig it somehow. I don't want the whole thing sticking out. Cause my aux port is located under my radio on my dash. It'll look stupid lol. Thanks ks for the input tho
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] }{Alienz}{:
I clipped the battery on mine and it works perfect so long as the phone bluetooth and the HS3000 turn on at the same time. This happens with me plugging my phone to an unpowered charging cable and then flipping the ignition key.

Tasker then turns on the Bluetooth and the HS3000 turns on at the same time. They pair within 3 seconds.

The problem however is if I forget to plug in my phone before I turn the car on (and the HS3000 by extension). Even if the HS3000 turns on 10 seconds BEFORE my phone bluetooth, it won't automatically connect.

Anyone know how to fix this? It's not that the HS3000 is in a power-saving mode because it just turned on 10 seconds before the phone's bluetooth. I think the phone just don't actively pair.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] donatom3:
Alienz I don't have this problem. I use the htc car dock and it has settings in it to actively pair and start music with your selected devices once it's docked in car mode. I'm not using Tasker or anything special.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Mine should be coming in this afternoon. I bought for my car. The HTC stereo clip is nice, but I want talk capability. Just gonna use a male to male aux and hope this one works. I hear great things about it. Can someone tell me if this thing will charge via USB in there car? Also how s is the standby time if you leave it running? I wanna rig it, so it's tucked under my dash in my Impala. I'd hate to have to take it out every couple of days. TIA
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrnamster:
I finally removed the battery and it works great as a bluetooth solution for the car! No more having to press the button and pair, then press play.

The HS3000 turns on with my ignition and automatically pairs with my phone. Once paired, Tasker automatically starts playing music and sets the volume. My Tasker profile and task settings are below if anybody wants to try.

Tasker profile: Car BT

State>Net>Bluetooth Connected>Name:HS3000

Tasker task: Play music

1. Task>Wait>Seconds:1

2. Audio Settings>Media Volume>Level:15

3. Media>Media Control>Cmd:Toggle Pause

---------- Post added at 11:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:42 AM ----------

It will charge via MicroUSB and also play while charging. Standby time is good, like 6 hours as advertised. I thought about tucking it but the media control buttons come in handy to skip tracks and answer phone calls instead of having to reach for the phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Thanks for the reply man. So u removed the battery from the unit? How does it turn on with your ignition? Sound spretty interesting
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrnamster:
I keep the HS3000 plugged into a microUSB car charger all the time so it turns on with the ignition. That way, it automatically pairs with my phone when turned on. The downside is that music will stop playing if you turn the ignition off or restart the car, but Tasker restarts my music playback anyways.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] reverepats:
Ahh i see whats yur saysing. Funny, cause i onyl used it for a few minutes and the sounds quality did sound all that great., I did turn the wolume up on the unit as well. After i plugged in the HTC Stereo Clip and i could definately tell the difference. I prolly just need to spend a few days with it. Cause call quality sounded awesome

EDIT...Ohh, and i was taking it out of the package while i was walking to my car, dropped it, and it chipped the paint off inthe front LOL. FIgures much right?...Unreal
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] IIIMik3:
did you turn up the volume on both the phone and the hs3000? did you play with the sound profiles on the hs3000? there's one button that rolls through 3 different sound profiles, going from flat to some sort of bass heavy profile. I personally use the middle setting.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] mrnamster:
Sorry I missed your post.

To remove the battery, use a plastic/nylon tool to pry the back cover off. Once off, pull the bottom of the battery out. It is somewhat flexible and the top part is soldered on. I didn't have a soldering tool so I just kept bending it back and forth until the metal connection broke off.

It has been working great for months now. Sometimes, the volume is not maxed out and needs to be turned up. I am not sure what makes it revert to default but that is my only issue.

Dual Device pairing issue

Hi,

can you help with an issue pairing 2 devices to this headset. I have a blackberry curve for work and an Iphone 4s for leisure. Ihave sucessessfully managed to pair the two devices previously but now it just won't work.

According to the manual you go into pairing mode and press the up volume button but this seems to turn on voice prompts not dual pairing.

thanks

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] erikk:
So it appears that the HS3000 has been discontinued by Samsung (or at least a few sites claim so and it's definitely not as easily found online anymore; ie Amazon doesn't sell it direct anymore). So at very least it's not as inexpensive as it used to be, ~$40 everywhere I've found it.

Is there another good option now for a BT adapter to be used in a pseudo permanent car installation that includes AD2P and Apt-x? I'm seeing conflicting information on some of the other Samsung BT adapters (HM3700 etc). I know the HTC stereoclip is an option but that's even more expensive. Any help appreciated.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] wiz4769:
I have been using this in my car, it works fine as usually Im listening to audiobooks to and from work, so I cant comment on the quality or bass. But I really wanted it for the handsfree calls as well, but the folks on the other end say they hear themselves. I thought it had a noise cancelling ability , but its not working out right now in my car. Im not sure if I want to try something else as I have not seen much better on the reviews.

I JUST "INSTALLED" My Samsung HS3000

I have a '97 Acura. I bought an inexpensive head unit from Walmart and spliced into my harness for power and used the rear RCA aux out to utilize this neat little device! I stuffed the cigarette plug and the usb adapter behind the radio. After testing everything I decided to use the groundloop isolater mentioned on page 5 as well. I have attached some pictures! I used a large paper/folder clip to mount the clip on my steering column.:D

How is your bass? Does it annoy you that you need to hit the button every time you get in your car?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] E15i:
Anyone here know, how much volume levels it has?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] erikk:
Not sure what you're asking specifically. But since this thread was necro'd I think I figured out the issue of it resetting the volume on the clip itself whenever it loses power. Set the volume where you want it on the clip and then turn it off with the hard power button. Then when you turn it back on if the battery ever dies when it gets power again it is at the volume level you last used. Or at least that fixed it for me.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] lacrossev:
I clipped the battery leads so that my phone doesn't stay connected after i get out of my car and get in to my house. Setting the volume then turning it off does indeed save the volume settings.

And instead of making another post to respond to E15i, the unit will beep when its at its highest volume setting. If the question is whether or not this can boost the volume past simply line out, then the answer is that in my experience it is maybe only 80% of the volume of using a wired connection. It could be even less as i forgot how many volume steps that my head unit has total but i do have to raise it higher while using this than if i was just connected directly.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] E15i:
Thanks, in the end, I decided to not get a BT, what the point, if I'm not listen outside anyway? and also it just another device to keep charged :p, and the main problem..it still wireless, so it still change the quality, not that I tried BT 3.0 and up devices, but nothing, could be compared to wired connection in the end, maybe aptX do something...maybe..

PS, oh and about the volume, what I meant to say, was, how many intervals it has, I don't want to bother with rooting my device to add more intervals, or so, nether want to bother with wireless at all, so I considered a headphones, with inline volume control, do exactly what I need.
