Not sure that's an option at the moment. What brand is your car stereo? I have a Sony Bluetooth receiver and the GS3 won't connect.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] zarfleen:
Doesn't seem to :( Not sure if this is application specific or not, but I've tried several different players with no success. I did notice in the process list that there is some sort of service running in the background called AvrcpServiceSamsung, but I don't know its purpose.

Has anyone else had trouble connecting both phone audio and media audio via Bluetooth? After first pairing and connecting, I get requests to access call history and phone book, and as long as I tap OK, it will connect. The next time I get in the car, I get the same requests. Again, as long as I accept it, it will connect, but it's rather annoying to do it every time, so I checked off "don't ask again" and hit OK a final time. After that, each time it is rather hit or miss on whether it actually connects or not.

The media audio always seems to eventually connect, but getting the phone audio to connect sometimes requires turning off Bluetooth and turning it back on, or force connecting from the Bluetooth settings on the phone. If it doesn't connect, no amount of initiating the connection from the car side will get it to connect, I always have to do something on the phone to get it to work.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] the_buzz_man:
OK CZ Eddie, got another question for you....

On that infuse vehicle dock you have, how hard would it be to disassemble it and just have the bottom part that plugs into the phone separate from the rest? What I am thinking of doing is getting that dock, then taking the bottom part off of it somehow and using an extension cable to plug into my phone. Once I put a case on the S3, it won't fit in that dock, but it SHOULD work with an extension cable.

I can easily hide that bottom part within the dash somewhere and just have the extension showing.

If someone that has this dock and an extension cable could test this for me, I would be much appreciative!!

For me, I get music information to display from the stock music player ONLY. Spotify doesn't display any info.

I do have my own rant though. I just bought a new JVC touchscreen bluetooth unit, and the SIII auto connects fine, but it randomly drops out when playing music. But here's the thing that's irritating; it's ONLY occurs when skipping tracks. I tried this on the stock music player, and Spotify. For reference, it's only when I change tracks from the head unit/steering wheel controls. If I use the phone to skip tracks, it works fine (but not convenient for driving/my new setup). I can let music play (probably) for hours on end, but if I skip a few tracks the connection drops. I had the SII hooked up to this unit last week and (other than not auto connecting to the phone AND media profiles sometimes) the radio controls worked perfect. It's infuriating. I've tried pairing, re-pairing, un-pairing, and changing the Bluetooth device name like someone else on XDA mentioned, and it still does the same thing. Also, I just factory reset the radio to no avail. Next I'm thinking to factory reset the phone. Think this would work, or am I out of options (I'm not rooting/custom ROMing YET)?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] zarfleen:
I have "mostly" gotten the issues with connecting media AND phone at the same time worked out. I say mostly because it still requires some intervention at times. In my car, I set it to not automatically download the handset phone book. When I paired again, I didn't get the pop-up, but still had some issues getting it to connect both profiles.

What I have found is that I have to switch over to Bluetooth audio and wait. If I am listening to broadcast or XM and turn off the vehicle, the next time I start it up, it will be on what I left it on. If I do nothing, Bluetooth will never automatically connect.

If I switch to Bluetooth or it was on Bluetooth when I turned off the vehicle, the next time I start it up, it will fairly quickly connect both media AND phone. However, roughly 10 to 20 seconds later, it will disconnect both of them. Then another 10 to 20 seconds later, both will reconnect and then it works fine after that.

It's rather annoying, but since I usually listen to Bluetooth audio, it's not too bad overall.

I have had some of the skipping when using the steering wheel controls to skip tracks, but it's fairly rare and generally only happens on the one song at a time when it does. I had tried the stock music player, but didn't see any track information. I will give it another go, and see if it makes a difference after all these connection shenanigans have settled down.

Yes Bluetooth transmits the ID tag, It worked for Google Play Music and now works for PowerAmp, not sure about Slacker and Pandora.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] CZ Eddie:
Sorry, I missed this question.

The part of the dock that holds the 3.5mm audio & usb in/out jacks is just a simple slider attachment. I looked at it last week actually, thinking just what you're thinking.

It wasn't obvious how to remove it. But I'd be willing to bet it will come off if you pull hard enough. :D ;) ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] stumanroo:
I mentioned something about this in the Accessories forum...thought about taking that and sliding it off...then buying a Holster that works with cases on and permanantly attaching that to a mount of some sort (Windshield, Dash, Permanent, whatever...)

I browsed around looking for a good holster which I feel would accomplish just this...but not sure I have found what I want to give it a shot yet.

Looking at a few closeups I have found here and on another site of that mount though it surely looks promising that it can be done.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] DannySGS3:
My sgs3 won't connect to my deck either, I can connect via bt but sound quality is garbage, same with the audio jack. Its just nowhere near as good as a USB connection. I would love to be able to connect this to the car I'm really supprised this feature wasnt included. Like who doesn't have USB in their cars these days?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] nerdstaz:
I drive a 2011 Kia Optima and it has the stock head unit in it. I have used several phones with this unit and streamed via bluetooth at decent quality with no issues. The S3; however, pops and cracks every 2-3 seconds. It's an ear piercing sound that feels like it might bust my tweeters!

Any of you guys streaming over bluetooth experiencing anything like this?

Also when I connect with auxiliary, I get an odd bit of feedback. Not static...just some strange garbled feedback that is really loud when tracks are being skipped.

(This happens in all apps. I tested in Slacker, Pandora, YouTube, Browser, Media Player, Poweramp, and I even streamed a song from Google Play)

If you are or aren't which version of the phone are you on? I am on the Verizon version.

Edit: I am basically trying to find out if I have a dud or this is an issue with everyone. I also just tried with Jaybird Freedoms...same results. Ear piercing popping and cracking, yet they work find on several other phones/devices.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] the_buzz_man:
I have been following another thread that actually explains how to get the sliding part off. It can be found here;

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1758784&page=2

I was able to take the cover off the sliding part without damaging it, giving me access to the 4 retaining screws inside. When I get home in the morning, I will be able to test my microUSB extension cable I ordered. It came in last night after I left for work. The plan is to tuck the sliding part under the dash and just have the extension cable running up to the phone.

Currently, I am using one of the exogear exomounts to hold the phone in place on the center of my dash. I love being able to have everything in reach and have the ability to record whatever is going on in front of me. The exomount wobbles a little bit, but overall does a great job.

Waiting for the otterbox defender and I should be good to go on accessories....at least till the wireless charging stuff comes out.

My Bluetooth issues:

Automatically starts playing via bt on stock player and poweramp and am unable to disable no matter what I happen to be listening to, CD, satellite or whatever. Does not show track information, and sometimes only streams one channel. Driving 2012 Jetta TDI with Fender audio system.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] draigons:
My Sony bluetooth system works fine with my sgs3, however I have noticed that after about 1-2hours listening the bluetooth disconnects for no appearant reason. The music stops like it d/c but most of the time I have reboot to get it to reconnect. This is not always, but has happened.

Someone else brought it up with bluetooth enabled they heard popping in the feed, I hear that occasionally with headphones on as well. First time I used HBOgo I saw artifacts in the video while hearing the static. I wonder if there is some kind if issue effecting these phones...?

But on my head unit for car, Power amplifier as of yesterday shows track information via head unit, was a setting made in update of PowerAmp.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] the_buzz_man:
I wanted to follow up with my previous posts. The second microUSB extension cable I got works great. It has all five wires needed which will allow it to trip the car mode once connected to the dock. I got this cable from here:

http://www.usbfirewire.com/uextendmicrob.html

As you can see, there are many choices depending on length and if you want right angles or not.

I have also attached a couple pics of the PC board within the Infuse dock. I am simply running that extension cable from the PC board to my phone, which allows me to keep the case on at all times. Hopefully it will fit in the hole in the Otterbox Defender, whenever that comes out.

Hope this helps others.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] nerdstaz:
So has anyone else experienced issues while streaming bluetooth media at all? I get a lot of popping and cracking no matter the device. Cant return the phone until sometime after the 12th. So much for a Verizon Wireless "Worry Free Guarantee"!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] medic2pa:
Yes, There are two thread in the this forum addressing this. Search bluetooth and crack or pop. I am having this problem. Took me 5 hrs of kicking, screaming, losing my temper to get a replacement phone under the 14d warranty. Have only had the replacement a couple hours thus far and so far so good. Will test more tomorrow and let you know if this unit is the same. I had the issue on my mercedes 2007 gl320 and bought a brand new plantronics voyager bluetooth today and confirmed I had the same issue on it. Haven't had time to check the new unit out on my car extensively, but the 30 min call I made on my way home was crystal clear with no pops/cracks/electronic garbling on my Mercedes bluetooth. Will keep you posted.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] sluzbenik:
For us po' folks without fancy Bluetooth stereo....Does anyone think a software hack could be written to trick the phone into thinking the 3.5mm jack is disconnected when a phone call comes in? I looked in Tasker, but there's nothing there.

The issue is this: if you are using the 3.5m jack with a stereo cable to your stereo, you can't make Bluetooth calls. The controls will work and you can make a call, but it only outputs audio to the headphone jack, and seems to think the Samsung earbuds with mike are connected, so your caller can't even hear you (because there's no mike active.). On my old Droid X, it switched to Bluetooth just fine when I made a call, and usually my audio app would just pause until it got the audio system back. This sounds like the behavior you get with the Infuse dock. Some folks at Android forums are also complaining. I've written to Samsung support myself.

I am tempted by the Infuse dock though, since that apparently solves the issue because the phone doesn't see the USB line-out and headphone jack the same way. But you're bypassing the pre-amp and adding two more connections, which is going to reduce sound quality. I know on my old MP3 player, the line-out through the dock just blew totally.

Oh, and while I'm at it for you car guys, some else at Android Forums discovered there's an app that can change the double home tap to anything action you want, including Google Voice actions. Could be useful if you're in the car. http://androidforums.com/samsung-galaxy-s3/583357-heres-how-launch-google-voice-search-home-button.html

Maybe you guys already know this, but S-Voice DOES work over Bluetooth, oddly enough. In fact that's what that app does, it hijacks the Bluetooth action and repurposes it for whatever you want. If you have Bluetooth on and start S-Voice, it will use Bluetooth for communication. Google Voice Actions however DO NOT work over Bluetooth, this is even a longstanding issue in the Android issues

[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] Nightwind Hawk:
Yes!! 100% in the same situation as you. My Droid X was fine with this, but the S3 will not allow bluetooth calls when the aux is plugged in!! Strange thing is, the call doesn't even seem to go through the aux...
[Galaxy S III Q&A, (US Carriers)] sluzbenik:
It does go through the Aux, I tried it with speakers at home and a Bluetooth headset. But in your car, there's usually no way to switch to the Aux and still have Bluetooth enabled. So freakin' stupid. When someone called me in the car, they could hear me (over the Bluetooth) but I couldn't hear them. The only thing you can do is yank out the cable when you get a call.

I guess a stupid expensive cludge fix would be to buy a separate Bluetooth module. That way you can hear the caller over the car stereo, and still talk back to them.

[HTC One X] RenVilo:
Hi guys,

I have an issue on my HOX. On the stock software I could connect to my work internet but not my home internet. This is my setup at home:

Netgear Router DGN2200 (First router that connects to the dsl): (Let's call this A1)

DHCP enable

No firewall

WPA2 security

Zyxel Repeater (This takes the wifi signal from the above router and boosts the signal. All it does.): (Let's call this A2)

Set up as universal Booster.

No DHCP

No Firewall

Security #1 (this is the connection from the Repeater to the main router (above)): WPA2

Security #2 (this is the Repeater's OWN security to gain access to the router) WPA2

Netgear Router DGN2200 (My router in my house. Doesn't connect to dsl via Telkom.) (Let's call this A3)

DHCP Disabled

No Firewall

Tried all kinds of security lol. Believe Android likes WPA(TKIS) more so it is on that at the moment.

Connects to the Repeater via a normal LAN cable.

NB: When I connect to the router that makes the DSL connection I can browse. If I connect to the repeater or the router(that is actually acting as a switch) then it doesn't work. I still have the same IP, gateway, DNS, ect.

So why doesn't the phone go through the router to the repeater then to the internet? Is there perhaps a setting on the netgear router to not allow a connection IF...

When I use my laptop,pc,HTC Sensation or Blackberry I can connect to either A2 or A3 and it works. It's just the HOX that doesn't. A1 is out of range from my place that's why I have this entire setup.

I did root my HOX and with the HTC CM9 rom it does work. Stock rom and Android Revolution it doesn't (I would like to keep Android Revolution on my phone coz I like sense)

Please help :)

Gerry

Hi, I have exactly the same problem and HTC email helpline have been of no use - basically they just say it must be the range extenders fault. So, really pleased to find someone else has the same problem!!

My router is a Technicolour TG582n supplied by Plusnet and the range extender is an EdiMax EW-7416APn V2. My One X works perfectly with the router but when I move out of range it connects to the Edimax, says "connected" and "signal strength excellent BUT when I enter a url the green connection indicator bar stays at the left of the screen and nothing happens until it says "timed out".

Of note is the fact that my HTC HD2 ( and my wifes iPhone and iPad) work perfectly with the extender so proving that it must be the One X that is at fault.

I also need help please!
[HTC One X] RenVilo:
there's several posts about connections that does connect but they can't browse. But that is mostly just one router and they have security issues or DHCP issues.

One thing to mention is all of the network devices are running the same security (changed it now) and also on the same channel and the they are all on a "G" speed. Tried the others but nothing so...

Is your HOX rooted? Have you tried this rom:

hi all

i think some water or humidity cause the phone screen to be dead , when i turn on my phone screen does not show any thing , but when i make screen lock and unlock the screen goes live but after some time screen brightness goes to dark completely and does not show anything.

thank you.
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Hi if it got wet, take it apart and place into a bag of Rice. Yes, rice. The rice will absorb the excess moisture that has accumulated in the device. This really works well but be patient it takes a day or so. Once the excess moisture is removed put it back together and see if the issue is solved. I hope this helps. I dropped my device in the muddy

Water and did this and thank God It's as good as new! I think this will do the trick for you. Best of luck! If it's not moisture causing the problem perhaps look into a warentee exchange. But give the rice a try if you suspect moisture!

[HTC Sensation] Palaestrus:
You should try to leave the phone inside the rice. Every power on with a bit of humidity inside the phone can totally break it. Just leave it in for 2 or 3 days and then recheck it.
[HTC Sensation] Jwtiyar:
thank u guys , now just screen sometimes is in lowest light some time will be better than before but still the icon colors not normall , its still need to be put in RIce ?
[HTC Sensation] realsis:
Yes! Please you need the rice to absorb ALL the humidity. Remember in my first post I said please be patient it takes a while. I'm sure your issue will resolve if you give it a chance to absorb all the moisture.! Very important! Please continue with the rice. Best of luck and hope I've helped!

thank u very much , but doesnt work after droping it in rice after 2 days +3 hours .

I have similar problem. Symptoms are very same.

But, when i pressing on/off and charging....place around Home button become very hot?

And also only light from home button works, sometimes it low light when i just put battery on charger. Its very strange.

But i managed to separate touch digitizer around home in that left corner and sometimes i get picture for 20 sec.

Should i try to put it in rice, or is different problem with mine phone.

As the title say I would like to know which differences there are between the T-Mobile and the European version of the HTC one s with the S4 CPU. Because as for now we already need to pay attention before flashing a Rom if it is for S3 or for S4 CPU and I don't now if a Rom for T-Mobile can be flashed on a euro S4 one s and viceversa.

Thanks for asking this

I have the same question
[HTC One S] D3LTA:
As far as i know there is no diff, S4 supports LTE in both versions.

Only the HTC ONE X and HTC One XL (AT&T) have diff CPU (Terga vs S4 Krait)
[HTC One S] hansthegeek:
Nope no the one s does not support LTE!

---------- Post added at 03:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 PM ----------

Yes you can. But make sure you flash for the right cpu!
[HTC One S] solracarevir:
You can flash Roms between US roms on EU phones as long as EU phones are the S4 variant.

The only difference between those two is the radios.
[HTC One S] xxquicksh0txx:
The S4 chip itself does support lte, the One S, however does not.

Hence the Evo 4g lte.
[HTC One S] ickedmel:
WiFi calling and base.
[HTC One S] light_n_roses:
if there are difference in the radio this means that the radio hardware part is difference ( Actually I don't remember if there are 2 separate chips for this or if it's all integrated inside the S4 ) ...
[HTC One S] Navik57:
If I remember correctly, the part number of the S4 in the One S is different from the S4 used in the One XL, which does have the LTE built in. So in short, the proc in the One S does not, and cannot, support LTE.
[HTC One S] xxquicksh0txx:
Correct, the S4 in the One S is a different model than the ones in the One XL, and Evo 4g LTE.
[HTC One S] Mr.Mischief:
The main difference is the 3G/4G radio bands. The international version supports 850/900/2100 for 3G/4G, while the T-Mobile version supports 1700/2100 for 3G/4G.
[HTC One S] Navik57:
I thought the T-Mobile version also supported 850 and 900, they just included 1700 for 3G compatibility
