Got the dock and the audio jack now seems to work with the stock JK2 rom. Never worked before. Surprised. Didn't do anything special. :eek:
[Vibrant Accessories] murse:
I just saw this OEM dock at www.meritline.com for $26.99 plus shipping. I'm not affiliated with the vendor, but I've ordered other things from them in the past with good results. There's another thread about the Trident Cyclops case which they also carry.
[Vibrant Accessories] FRIEDjellyWALNUT:
Any news on when the official Car Dock will be in stores?
[Vibrant Accessories] tvalenci:
I am too new to post a link, but Amazon has the car dock for the Vibrant for 69.00. Just saw this over at the TMO forums.
[Vibrant Accessories] wergeld:
Okay, this is nice that they are showing up at the tmo retail stores. But where is the dock advertised at the galaxy s launch? The one with the built in speaker?
[Vibrant Accessories] spoidar:
They killed it. I'm still bitter about that.
[Vibrant Accessories] wergeld:
But why! Grrrr. Well I might pick this one up...doubt it though. Is there another speaker dock?
[Vibrant Accessories] markinct:
I bought the dock on Amazon - a pretty good savings over the T-mo store.

I really wish the apps could be further customized/replaced. And weather should refresh MUCH more frequently... at just 3 hours it's silly -especially considering it's not running on battery! The audio through USB then out through the rear 3.5mm jack is also puzzling. Why not just have it patched through the phone's 3.5mm hack? And finally, it should detect external speakers/headphones automagically... why do we have to toggle it in settings?
[Vibrant Accessories] dustbuster:
The Vibrant Car Dock is available from Newegg for $35 (part #ECS-M979BEGSTA). Does anyone know if it has a 3.5mm jack?
[Vibrant Accessories] bdroc:
one picture shows a line out inlet, but the other pictures dont show any audio related plugs or cables at all...hmmm

nice find though
[Vibrant Accessories] Midgen:
I just received my OEM car and desk docks today. They both have 3.5mm audio out jacks, and neither one of them work.

I'm running FROYO.UVJK2 installed via Odin (kernel 2.6.32.9).

Does anyone know if any of the custom Froyo builds available here at XDA support these audio out ports on the docks?

How do these even work? Is the audio directed out over USB to the 3.5mm jack? Or is there some dark magic going on here? Or maybe these ports are just there to tease you into buying the docks but they aren't actually connected to anything?
[Vibrant Accessories] cyberpyr8:
I came here looking for the same thing. I have the desktop dock and I cannot get the external speakers working in any app either. They said it should work in FroYo which I am running (Nero) but I wonder if there is an updated app that isn't in the marketplace.
[Vibrant Accessories] danow11:
Ordered mine today after reading this thread. On amazon it was 38 dollars. Anyway ill update with my impressions
[Vibrant Accessories] beno76:
I bought it for my galaxy 9000i from the states, because it is not on sale in europe.

Installedd the app-"Froyo_CradleMain_ver1.apk" (was hard to find because the old versions do not work with froyo) docked the phone and the audio is working nicly. The thing is that it is only usable as a line out and not for headphones (bad quality) it also says in the manual.

My froyo:

core:

2.6.32.9

build:

XFJP7

I also bought the samsung car dock, but there is no audio output. Tryed different apps, also the original samsung one but no audio only the the phone speakers. There is also no music player tab on the samsung app which makes it usless for listening music in your car. For now I am using the bluetooh connection from my headset, but would like the 3.5 output to work.

Any help?

Benjamin
[Vibrant Accessories] ipnekgs:
Thank you very much... I bought speakers to use with the dock cradle but then no sound was coming out of the speakers. One of the reasons for buying the cradle was line out to speakers and now with this DeskHome app it works. I guess I will keep the speakers now. Thank you again.

The line out doesn't work unless this app is running on the background, not a big deal I guess.
[Vibrant Accessories] Midgen:
I just installed the updated version of the Desk Home app benjamin posted, and can confirm that the audio out jack is now working when the phone is docked (there is a 'setting' to enable/disable the internal speaker.

Now I just need one for the car dock =).

And to add a little negative commentary for the OEM Desk Dock.

This thing annoys the crap out of me because it does stupid things like blocks access to the phones volume rocker buttons. And the Samsung version of the Desk Home app cannot be customized to launch any apps other than the defaults (Alarm, Daily Briefing, Default Music Player, Voice Search, and Gallery).

I'm going to work now on customizing the 'Custom Car Home', along with "Locale" and the "Dock Detect" plugin to build a custom dock screen.
[Vibrant Accessories] chronos7:
from what I understand this output problem is due to the older kernels. If your using any of the JL kernels they fixed the output problem in all of the newer JL kernels.
[Vibrant Accessories] xda2erl:
Android 2.2 isn't happening on mine (Vibrant). Samsung pulled froyo after several complaints. T-Mobile isn't pushing Kies/firmware updates to my phone. It's JANUARY 2011. :confused:

The desktop dock display is gross and I hate that it has fixed shortcuts.

Samsung should have printed in bold in the description that Android 2.2 is required. I hate that Sammy wants to be like Microsoft and control the device using the OS. A module or app should be sufficient to hear audio through the audio port. Duh.

After screwing up vitally important features, the desktop dock for the Galaxy S is like the icing on the cake from the dumbest programmers on Earth. Well, I won't be buying another Sammy gadget again...this is it for me.

At least the HTC dock (myTouch) audio WORKED immediately without any updates needed at all. So did the GPS. My biggest complaint was needing widgets and more screen space. The Galaxy S has been the biggest let down. I'm so dropping this phone for another carrier and fruit soon!
[Vibrant Accessories] danow11:
Flash a froyo rom........problem solved
[Vibrant Accessories] Bl4ckpheniX:
I hear people saying that they are getting the dock to work. The CAR DOCK? Cause I am running nero v3 jl5 kernel. Still no audio?

If someone can get this to work please let me know.

Thanks.
[Vibrant Accessories] tissle:
Ya...

I'm running Nero v3 Froyo and I was wondering if the audio for the car dock works?
[Vibrant Accessories] webstas:
No go on Nero v3 With JL5

also i tried...

Pepperkake 3.5.2 with JL5

Volholl with JL1

Pepperkake 3.5.2 with Eugene's Super IO kernel.

the result was as expected no audio via the line out on the Home Dock and Car/Nav Dock.
[Vibrant Accessories] webstas:
I am willing to try any suggestions, if anyone has any thoughts

Kernel Versions

Roms

even Modems.... <- Doubtful that makes a difference but...
[Vibrant Accessories] Midgen:
I have been unable to get the car dock 3.5mm jack to work at all, with any version of any app (running Nero V3/JL5).

I did have marginal success with the desk dock 3.5mm jack. You need the 2.2 version of the Samsung Car Dock app (came with Nero v3). In the settings there is a check box for 'Use Internal Speaker', which is on by default. Turning this off, I was able to get audio out the 3.5mm jack on the car dock. However, the audio is crappy using the stock earbud set. I suspect the levels are wrong (or something).

There is some good news.

Using the "Locale" app from the marketplace, I was able to configure the car dock to do everything else (not 3.5mm audio) I needed it to do, and since I'm streaming audio via bluetooth, the 3.5mm jack functionality is not a huge deal.
[Vibrant Accessories] webstas:
Do you have the apk for the car dock app? i cant find it on the market anymore.
[Vibrant Accessories] webstas:
has anyone tried this with the TouchWiz launcher, it might be needed to activate the audio port along with the newer kernel?
[Vibrant Accessories] danow11:
I flashed r3 and jl5 kernel + voodoo, and i still had no luck at all with the car dock, nor was i able to find a box anywhere in the settings of car home where i was able to disable the hardware speaker in lieu of the dock output.

hope to get some advice.
[Vibrant Accessories] webstas:
I wonder if we should move this over to the dev section as a think tank.
[Vibrant Accessories] cyberpyr8:
Thanks to Benjamin for the apk. I uninstalled the Desk Home app from Nero 3 and installed that version. It works now for the desktop dock. The one trick is that it has to load that app to allow redirection to the speakers. If I run Winamp it will play out through the speakers if I have Desk Home come up and leave it running in the background. Whatever, it works! So I have the app load by default when I dock and then hit the home button and load Winamp. Pandora works the same way.
[Vibrant Accessories] webstas:
I looked through this thread i couldn't find the apk your talking about did i miss it?

i have the Samsung desk home app but it wont launch it just FC's immediately
[Vibrant Accessories] webstas:
NM i found it.
[Vibrant Accessories] webstas:
Have you tried this with the car dock yet?
[Vibrant Accessories] cyberpyr8:
I don't have a car dock or that app loaded. I would imagine that it would work the same though. That app is strange. Now I can't get back to the home screen and keep it loaded without jumping open tasks. I wish you could change the Home app icons. That would make it all work right. I am at least getting sound out of the port.

I use a podcast player and it works too. It seems as long as you launch while the desk app is open it routes through the port. If we could hack that apk it might be possible to have the system play out of the port without needing the desk app.
[Vibrant Accessories] runbadgerrun:
Official 2.2 Any Better with Audio out

Has anyone loaded the official 2.2 update yet? I am wondering if it improves sound out on the 3.5 line out port. Currently with Nero v5 and Desk Home 1.0 the output is pretty low and often has static.
[Vibrant Accessories] Just4FB2K5:
I've Odin'd back to stock, then upgraded to KA6 using Kies Mini and now neither the Desk Home or Car Home apps show up in the Market. I own both the car and desk docks and the car's audio out never worked.
[Vibrant Accessories] danow11:
Car home shows up in market for me. Desk home also....running bionix 5 still no audio with nexus s app
[Vibrant Accessories] n1gh7mar3:
Samsung just realesed the car home and desk home apks that work with the docks. Pick them up on the market but make sure you download v2 of the software!
[Vibrant Accessories] spoidar:
Maybe someone could make those apks show up somewhere else for those that don't have them in their market? ;)
[Vibrant Accessories] n1gh7mar3:
idk how this is going to work but it looks as though the apks get pushed to the data/app-private folder and the zips get pushed to the data/app folder! hopefully it works out for you!View attachment 499206
[Vibrant Accessories] danow11:
Has anyone been able to get the audio output to work while streaming pandora? I don't have any mp3s so pandora audio output was my goal.

Thanks in advance!
[Vibrant Accessories] webstas:
Here is the resolution....

i found these files in another forum, if you install them and run them when your phone is in the cradle car or home then hit the speaker icon on the screen it will turn on the audio out.
[Vibrant Accessories] danow11:
When I tried to install these they both say application not installed
[Vibrant Accessories] webstas:
are you using one of the roms that are built from KA7 - (OTA 2.2)?

ex Bionix V
[Vibrant Accessories] danow11:
yeah im on bionix v.

on another note im even more disgusted, downloaded some mp3's off rhapsody, and tried to play them in the music player and apparently, mp3 is not a supported file type....WTF!?!?!:mad:

its possible im just retarded and behind the times, but all they needed to do was allow you to launch pandora, and all of this jive would have been avoided.
[Vibrant Accessories] n1gh7mar3:
Use the files I attached and install them how I suggested... problem solved!
[Vibrant Accessories] danow11:
i did it how you suggested. apk is in /data/app-private, and the zip folders were put in the /data/app folder, and then after that i ran the installations for both of them.

does this sound like i did the right thing?
[Vibrant Accessories] danow11:
Allright, update to my situation.

in the past couple days trying to solve this problem i did some flashing, odining.

odin'd to stock, updated via kies mini to official 2.2.

attempted to use car home = still no audio output from car dock.

flashed voodoo kernel to achieve cw recovery.

flashed bionix v5, and installed samsung car home 2

plugged it into the dock omw home from work, and bang audio now works.

this is just documenting what i went through to get it working, hopefully for others it was'nt this difficult, but perhaps it will help some people also.

cheers!

Try dumping the apks in system/app
[Vibrant Accessories] Danielpc:
I was able to use this dock just fine on TW Bionix v 1.2.1 with dragon kernel v4. Just install Desk Home Samsung Vibrant 2 from the market. Unfortunately, the app does not allow for much customization, can only use the line-out with the music player and nothing else (such as Slacker or Pandora). I am unaware of a workaround.
[Vibrant Accessories] the drugstore:
I have this dock and have a couple of questions, is there a way to which tempature from celisus to farenhieght. Also I have the screen in nite time mode, will that leave screen burn in overtime? Is there a way to have screen always off? I have the V2 of the desk app downloaded
[Vibrant Accessories] Danielpc:
NM, I did find a workaround for line-out when using apps like Slacker, Pandora, etc. Overall, I’m happy with this dock. A few of things: 1. Not compatible with Voodoo Sound. 2. Noise coming through the line when connected to power, but this happens with the 3.5 jack on top of the phone as well (amount of noise will vary, PC much louder than wall outlet). Sound is very clean when not connected to a power source but of course the batter drains. 3. No data sync when connected to a PC. Although that is mentioned in the owner's manual, data sync would have made this device so much more practical for people using it at work or home office.
[Vibrant Accessories] Danielpc:
In settings, select accu weather (not the check box), then select unit. Short press the power button to turn screen black.
[Vibrant Accessories] quailallstar:

Took me a while to realize that it will not just mute, but switch the output to USB port.

Im having the same issue with the new bionix.....grrr why cant we just have an app that enables it
[Vibrant Accessories] xcaliburinhand:
Can't promise it will work for you or with bionix, but here is an app that automatically enables dock audio jack.
[Vibrant Accessories] Danielpc:
Meant to post this here: I have never had issue with sound being output from the desk mount using the speaker toggle in the Desk Home app. Would you please elaborate on what you mean by the correct way? What difference should we hear in the audio with the use of your app? Thanks
[Vibrant Accessories] xcaliburinhand:
Over on the Captivate side of the fence, some people were looking to have the audio route through the dock without needing the Samsung app. "Correct way" is in reference to the previous effort of using a kernel hack. My first run was to redirect output from the speaker to the dock at the kernel level. This worked but also resulted in the loss of bass (ROM still was using speaker EQ).

I backed out the redirect part of the kernel and wrote the app to trigger the dock output on the ROM level. It uses the same method as the Desk Home app.

Either the Desk/Car Home app or my app will take care of the redirection to the dock port. Some of the benefits of my app are:

-The Samsung Desk/Car Home apps are not needed (can be used with the Google Dock apps, or without any Dock app)

-Option to have sound only redirect with car dock, desk dock, both, or neither (then again if selecting neither, why install the app).

Personally I prefer the Google Dock app over the Captivate specific one. If the speaker toggle on the Dock App is what you prefer, there is no real need for my app. Figured I would throw it out there for people who are having issues with the Samsung Apps.
[Vibrant Accessories] Danielpc:
This app is pretty awesome. I like not having to be tied to the limiting Desk Home app. I can confirm that it works with Bionix V 1.3.1 with Overstock 1.4. Now if supercurio can make voodoo sound compatible with the dock audio output, we would be in a perfect world. A bounty was offered lol.
[Vibrant Accessories] danow11:
You are the man!!! Thanks for doing what samsung could not.

If you take donations id certainly contribute.

Thanks For the post!
[Vibrant Accessories] cyberpyr8:
There is also finally an app out that will let you send the sounds to the dock even if the rom you are running (or stock OS) won't let you. Look in the market for Dock Sound Redirector. I actually searched for Samsung Dock and found it. It is an ugly app but it works. Once it is on every time you plug in it redirects.

Hey guys,

After doing some extensive reading and trying out a few different things I finally got my Hero 2.1 upgraded to the newest version of Villain.

However now I cannot access the internet through my data network (only on wifi). I checked and made sure all the setting was turned on to allow internet use on the data network.

And also now my browser will crash on me after I open it.

This is on a fresh wipe (divlik cache) and flash to rom of Villain 12.

Other then that it's a great OS I love it so far. Overclocking the CPU works wonders for how fast this thing loads apps.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
