A day after I purchased the iBolt I received this little gadget in the mail from ebay.

USB Bluetooth Adapter

For under $10 it gives you the same A2DP bluetooth audio streaming. But, the difference is it doesn't sound nearly as good for the lower end of the spectrum. But, in a pinch it's awesome, and for the price, you can't beat it. I have it as a backup for now.

I took about 30 min and hid the iBolt cabling today. I like the fact that I moved the cradle to the top left of the windshield, away from the center console. Will post some pics later today of the install.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
I am surprised at how easy the phone is to use with my left hand, from the steering wheel. Retaining the bluetooth functionality, specificallly my integrated microphone, really makes this work around worth every penny. Hope it helps someone else!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] OnceAMatrixMan:
Oh well now I understand. Thanks for clarifying. Of course I didn't mean any offense.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
No worries, none taken. I am just ecstatic to be playing music via S3 thru my car stereo and still be able to use the cars bluetooth for phone calls! Now if we could come up with a fix for this damn NO SIM error, I would be in heaven. LOL!

Sweet, I was contemplating a bluetooth to 3.5mm for my car because of this issue, but this might be a better solution. Looks like we might have the same exact setup soon including the mini cooper :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
I-bolt rocks. Bought one the other day. Search for best price. Down in the low to mid $30 range now depending on shipping and coupons.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rlatjs17:
Could anybody solve my problem? My car doesn't have a usb port so I cant use the iBolt to play music through it. I use the cassette player to audio jack and use bluetooth talk through my car speakers. Is there a solution to use bluetooth while using the audio jack?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
Yes. I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner, but on anther board, someone brought this up and it works, albeit ghetto'ish.

Mount the phone somewhere in the car where you can speak towards the mic. Plug the cassette tape adapter into the headphones jack. When a call comes in, just answer the phone keeping the headphone jack in use, and the sound will come thru your stereo, but the mic you will be using is the one on the phone. Talked to multiple people who all heard me just fine. (even with the mic pointed downwards!)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
The cable is exactly the right length to mount the ibolt anywhere in the car, hell I think we could mount it on the rear window, lol! There is space behind the base of the center console where you can tuck away any extra cable you have before you route the cable to the jacks. I decided to use an add on 2.1a USB car charger (cig lighter adapter) vs the cars internal USB as I don't think the MINI USB pumps out anything more than 450 mA (1\4 what the adapter puts out I bought seperately)

Guys great news rls8 hybrid fixed this issue. Instead of buying a $ 40 accessory , donate a 20 to the dev
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Does that require a custom Recovery and/or ROM, perhaps? I'd like to keep things relatively stock for now, though am OK with tweaks. Plus, the iBolt looks convenient to use in my car.

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] XRSTOY1:
So how do you know if you have bluetooth streaming? aren't all the G3's the same in that respect? Or is it up to what your car can do?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmichaels1982:
Yes and unlcked bootloader
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rlatjs17:
I know I can do that but I want to use the bluetooth in my car to make calls(my car doesn't have bluetooth audio only calls). When I use the headphone jack to make calls people say their voice echoes back but if I use the cars bluetooth its fine.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
Oh, wait, you have the same setup as I do. My MINI Cooper can only do bluetooth for calls, it has no bluetooth audio. Are you saying you don't have an aux in, but you have bluetooth?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Well, thanks for the notice, but iBolt-like appliances will fit my needs better, in this case.

Plus, it adds a nice charging mount which I don't need to permanently install in the car.

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rlatjs17:
Well when I'm using the aux and I get a call while I have bluetooth connected to the car, its just dead silence. I'm not sure about the mic working for the car or for the phone. Ill have to test that. So in order to make a call in the car, I have to unplug the aux for the bluetooth to work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
No offense but have you been reading anything in this thread? I have the same setup, bluetooth wise, as you and fixed the problem.

This iBolt routes the sound out via usb instead of the headphones jack.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rlatjs17:
Yes, I have been reading through this thread. My car doesnt have a usb port so I use the cassette to audio. Thank you very much
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
There is bluetooth calling in your car, but no (compatible) audio streaming from your phone, I guess?

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rlatjs17:
Yep, I don't think the car has bluetooth audio streaming capabilities because I tried using my friends bluetooth speakers and the S3 streamed it out just fine. Its a 2008 Lexus RX350 with full options if that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
Ok. Follow me here...

Your sound comes out of the micro usb port on the phone. The iBolt comes with a cable. One end is a micro usb. You plug that into your phone.

The other end of the cable has two jacks. One is usb, for power. The other is a 3.5mm audio jack, for sound.

What I think you aren't comprehending is we use the USB end for power and not sound.

So you buy a cig lighter usb power adapter. You plug the iBolt cable into that for power.

You plug the 3.5mm jack into your cars aux in for sound.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jetjaguar:
Space

And you need all the space you can get in that car. :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
Hah, true enough... Although the main passenger cabin is full of room. Not as big as a full sized car, but for myself going to work (primary use) or weekends with my wife and 5 year old daughter, it works. 32 mpg in the city helps. The minute I put a full sized adult in the back tho, I almost immediately start truck shopping, lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jetjaguar:
Custom cable

I'm going to use a custom cable like the one described here until the ROM I'm using is fixed.

It ends up working exactly like the iBolt cable. Micro USB at the phone and on the other end one USB to charge and one 3.5 jack to go to Aux.

There are also Micro USB to 3.5 jack cables out there. You could use one of those if you don't need to charge the phone at the same time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
For me, I would rather pay $30 to have a decent cradle out of the way of the center console, and a professionally made cable. I tend to measure once and cut twice, lol...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rlatjs17:
I Use A Cassette Player, is what I think you aren't comprehending. So bluetooth calls still dont work with that. I dont think I can solve this problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
I gave you an option that works; turn off your phones bluetooth and use the cassette adapter for both music and phone. I did this for a few weeks until I figured out that the ibolt works.

This retains the sound thru your speakers, and retains your use of the cassette adapter.

Now, if you simply are trying to retain your call answer button, or whatever... here's a better option that will also give you usb, ipod, 3.5 mm jack connections, as well as bluetooth streaming etc.

Parrot Handsfree System

I have installed these before, with ease. Their manuals are well written and their customer support is on point.

I hate to say it, you are limping along with a cassette adapter, it's almost time to either upgrade the head unit, or at least install an option like the parrot that will give you quite a few more years out of your vehicle.

Last thing, a female to female 3.5mm coupler, found at any radio shack or walmart would allow you to retain your cassette adapter and use the ibolt, and retain your cars bluetooth phone capability.

Stereo Coupler

No need to get snippy, tis the quickest way to get people to not help you.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
I've seen other RX owners from around that year mention good luck using this:

http://www.amazon.com/BlackBerry-Remote-Stereo-Bluetooth-Gateway/dp/B00170KUM0

It plugs into your head unit's AUX input jack, providing a A2DP bluetooth streaming capability for your phone. Not as nice as using your car's steering wheel controls to manipulate the phone's playback, but it provides an otherwise wireless BT connection for audio.

I'm wondering if you could pair with that unit for streaming and with the car for calls at the same time.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
I looked it up, his car doesn't have an aux jack. He's SOL, I think... I cringe at the idea of being forced to use a cassette adapter.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
On a 2008? Ouch.

My 2005 Subaru had no AUX input, but I found a person who sold a mod that enabled an AUX input to the stock CD player and only required removing the head unit, adding in a sub-board via existing ribbon connector and reinstalling the unit.

Guess that they might consider looking into Lexus head unit mods as an option.

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
Ya, he's got options now.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rlatjs17:
Wasn't getting snippy at you. Just frustrated that a supposed luxurious car doesn't have A2DP. I might try out the female to female coupler. You say it will retain my bluetooth calling capabilities? Wouldn't that still play music through my "tape" player?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
Yep, you would still be able to retain your bluetooth capabilities in the car. Here's the thing... samsung made the headphones jack on the phone the bluetooth killer. Basically, if anything is plugged into the jack, bluetooth is disabled. So, by using the ibolt along with it's included cable, you are allowing the phone to route the music thru its micro usb at the base of the phone, which does not kill your bluetooth connection. Since you are forced to use the cassette adapter, you can just use a coupler to connect your ibolt cable to the cassette adapter.

And I totally understand your pain with regards to no A2DP. BMW decided to exclude this from most MINIs until 2012, unless you had the nav system. Frustrating, to say the least.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rlatjs17:
I paid $2,750 for nav and bluetooth options. Just found out they added A2DP to 2010 models.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
And it came with a cassette option, but no AUX input to speak of?

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rlatjs17:
Yep the cassette was an option too lol. I just went with the iBolt and female to female audio. Hopefully bluetooth will work with the cassette.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
Just found the perfect solution for you. Seriously, pretty damn neat!

Kipkay's Bluetooth Car Hack!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] rlatjs17:
Wow thats pretty cool. Off to Walmart to buy my supplies. Now only problem with that is how would I charge it once it runs out.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
I think he spoke about that at the end. You could modify the cassette case to house the USB port so you could simply run a cable over to a cig lighter usb port and charge her right up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ellabunny:
bluetooth

I also had same issue, I was able to use bluetooth but for phone calls not for music streaming. I did search online till I found this site viseeousa.com selling BT adapters. I bought the WMA3000B with built-in AUX/USB Y cable. Now I am able to stream music via bluetooth and I enjoy it much and it also can access, skip, read, display and control music playback using original steering wheel control.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jedinegotiator:
Pretty simple question. Can I print from this tablet without buying a special Samsung printer?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sledgie:
Yep, provided you are connected to a network or router.

Canon makes an app, HP, Lexmark. Theres also cloudprint (if you are connected to the internet and have a "cloud" printer or have one attached to your network and Chrome running on your computer.

Or Printershare also works generically but in my experience, it does not print duplex (if this is an issue for you) locally, it has to be printed through the cloud printer setup connected within printershare.

So yes, you can print.

Hi guys, just curious as to whether you think it would be a better option to go with straight talk using AT&T's network, or chance it with T-Mobile (unlocked phone). The thing is, I am not sure if this phone will receive data properly with T-Mobile, as I understand it, the frequencies are different.

So, do you guys think I should try to chance it?? Also, how does T-Mobile's HSPA+ compare to AT&T's?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
HSPA+ on T-Mobile is fine, but you're not gonna get it with a one x. So... Go with straight talk.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] snelan:
Ok, thanks. I heard that T-Mobile is doing reforms to their network, but wasn't sure if it would apply to me in this case, and if they were ready or not.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] codyrt:
I've been using straight talk for my last two phones, and the HOX. Service has been pretty good, no issues especially since they openly allow bringing your own phone. Data is almost always at H, with a few occasions where it drops to edge.

Straight Talk gave me the boot after using 1GB of data. The only good thing to come of it was being able to port my number to T-Mobile. I hate to say it, but Straight Talk is shady.

I'm using T-Mobile Monthly 4G now and all I see is EDGE in the city of Little Rock. I get a bar or two of 3G once I leave out to surrounding areas. No Root, No 3G/4G.

I did not use the proxy. It seems that AT&T reported that my usage was "excessive" (at 1gb?) and they gave me a phone call that was extremely distorted. I couldn't understand it at the time, so I called them up. In retrospect I would have ignored it.

I am getting a T-Mobile sim I ordered (before I knew it wouldn't work) in the mail today, ST sim comes tomorrow. Should I even try the T-Mobile one? Is there any chance at all I will get data?

Thanks for all the responses though guys!

EDIT" @ ackliph, it says you use Monthly4G with your One X in your sig? I used to use that for all my other phones, any luck?

EDIT 2: Nevermind, I see your other post. Do you think that has to do with service in your area or the phone not being able to receive that data band?

I bought the HOX after T-Mobile started turning on the 1900mhz data in the Seattle and surrounding areas. It doesn't seem to be officially deployed as the store associates can't confirm if it's active and stores also aren't advertising iPhone users.

SO it's mostly Edge service for now but in many areas I have been getting 3G and H signals and speedtest gets well over 8Mbps, not to be confused with 8mbps. More than enough for mobile use once they officially launched 1900 in the area.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ackliph:
You will get data. It'll just be EDGE. And I'm certain if you bought another SIM later they could switch them on the account.

As far as data, it's the band. My Galaxy Exhibit worked great. 4G and all. The HTC One X works great on AT&T/ST, but when you put in a T-Mobile SIM, welcome to EDGE. I think maybe T-Mobile is starting to open up more bands for the iPhone? Good luck... but T-Mobile is not as vast as AT&T so you might get frustrated if you travel.

@zounduser those look exactly like my settings. I may have had port 80 in the first Port section though. Oh, and be careful with that kennel.

Another thing to note about Monthly4G: they do not let you modify you're voice mail provider. A bit frustrating if you use Google Voice like me.

Yes yes it seems Im totally ****ed. Looking at a GS II X now for $230, I was on Boypes CM7, then went to CM10 Official without data wipe, worked fine, and then went to AOKP without data wipe, worked fine, then went over to CM10 unofficial without data wipe, worked fine, but WiFi wasn't working anymore, I guess somewhere in the go over to AOKP stage I messed that up, whatever, I didn't wipe data its cool Ill just flash another JB Rom and it should be all good so I flash CM10 Official and nothing, just bootloop.

So now im thinking, HMM I'll just go into recovery and start fresh with CM7 and leave it there til CM10 is stable, but of course my G-Key is broken and Im pretty sure CM10 Official doesnt even have G Recovery, so NOW Im thinking well it seems Im ****ed.

So NNNNNNNNOW Im like well, I'll have to plug it into S/W Update mode and let that LG Updater Tool take me back to Froyo, so I did it, but bootloop.

Now Im scared. And I remember Oh yes, the wonderful Smartflash tool and that completely fun method, so I dl Canadian Koodo .kdz, get it over to CP/AP FLS/BIN whatever and plug it all in and set it up and its all good to go and what do you know, it STILL won't get past bootloop.

It's possible to end your OB folks, just saying, don't feel too invincible.

Leave it for about 7 mins

I dont understand what you mean sorry

But yeah I left it booting for about 30 minutes
[LG Optimus Black] xonar_:
Don't worry. He's mistaken. You can't accidentally wipe CP with flashing you need to forcefully do it in Smart Flash Tool. If you get bootloop your phone is recoverable. If it is bootloop when phone buttons flash on and off slowly the whole time. If no LG logo appears and no lights then it dead though.

Do this to get into SW Update

Take the battery out.

While Holding Vol-up plug it into your computor (Keep holding up until it says SW Update)
