Hey anyone else having your phone reboot when your phones sitting in the car dock and you plug in something to the headphone jack? I've had it happen 3x's today and trying to figure out if its my ROM (CM-5.0.5.3) or if its something else....
anyone? gotta be more then me....

I had the same issue. but can not tell what's triggering it. Together with charging playing music and running a navigation app (google nav does not work in my location) I run yandex maps to see traffic jams. So it could be maybe one of the apps hanging the phone. I'm pretty sure I was on one of CM 6 versions. Or it could be overheating.
Do not see it lately on 6.1 N1 stable. for about 2 to 3 month its stable.
Out of curiosity, how many shiny bands (broken by black indentations) are on the plug that you're inserting into the device? The Nexus (and many modern smart phones + media devices) are designed for a 4-banded plug to accommodate remote functions (play/pause, volume up/down, etc). Standard audio cables only have three contacts on the plug. If the three-contact plug isn't sitting just right and shorts out some of the contacts inside the phone, all sorts of screwy things can happen - and I suspect this is what you are experiencing.
Hey guy, im about to start my car audio install and i figured being such a avid android person haha i might as well use a nexus 7 as a headunit. I consider myself to be a bit of an audiophile when it comes to sound quality. Most people that go the nexus route just want it in there and aren't too concerned with sq it seems like. I'll be running a custom rom obviously, with a kernal for otg data and charging so i am able to charge the tablet and also have a flash drive plugged in to store various files.
My main questions are:
1. Whats my best option as far as wiring goes for SQ (thinking buetooth reciever in trunk that will have rca outs to an amp)
2. Kinda want to be able to take it out easily so best options or ideas for that
3. Is there a way to turn on the device without touching the power button? Not just wake it, actually boot the nexus
SQ doest NOT equal bluetooth a2dp to the trunk. Just wanted to mention that. Direct wire... or usb audio dac.
NFC tags would help, It wont boot the N7 up, but it will launch a media player and a change some settings at the same time.
1. Whats my best option as far as wiring goes for SQ (thinking buetooth reciever in trunk that will have rca outs to an amp)
Already posted, but bluetooth would be about as poor as you could go. I have my Nexus outputting to a Sabre USB-DAC, that feeds into a JBL MS8 and then onto the amplifiers.
2. Kinda want to be able to take it out easily so best options or ideas for that
This depends a lot on what car you are putting it in, and how much fabrication you want to do. I want to be able to take mine out easily, but am kind of lucky in that the dash panel I have it behind pulls out fairly easily allowing me to remove the Nexus.
3. Is there a way to turn on the device without touching the power button? Not just wake it, actually boot the nexus
I don't know that there is one, but to be honest I did not look into it that much. I use Tasker to put my Nexus to sleep, switch on Airplane mode etc. and to do the reverse whe it gets power.
For mine I am using Timur's ROM, it works really well for me, and I recommend you look into it.

Anybody here ever play with one of these?
It says it works with the GS4, it seems to be just a USB DAC. From what I remember, our N4's work on this type of device, right?
From the user manual:
IS3301 uses Android Open Accessory Protocol. Accessory mode is ultimatley
dependant on the devices hardware, and not all devices support accessory mode

This is pretty much exactly the device I've been looking for. I've got a really good head unit, it's just that it's pre-BT/USB/anything else useful. It'd cost me pretty big bucks to replace with a equivalent "modern" HU. I currently use a 3.5mm->RCA->HU aux input setup right now that is lacking in quality.
I just can't find anything about this thing online.
I'm not sure about that particular device, but most if not all USB DACs work with the N4 (on 4.x at least, LP reportedly broke compatibility with some previously working units ). I have an Asus Xonar U3 ($40 when I bought it from Amazon), and it's really FAR surpassed my expectations. As long as you plug it in before launching your (any, afaik) music player, it should produce a very noticeable improvement on sq. If you do end up getting a USB DAC, I'd highly recommend at least checking out the 14 day trial of USB Audio Player Pro... it bypasses the system's drivers and uses it's own, and IMO the sq is untouchable! If you listen to a lot of music from your N4 (a great output source in itself, x100 with UAPP) I can say pretty confidently that investing in a DAC will greatly increase your enjoyment! :good:
i use my nexus 7 as my in dash, how would this help ? currently just using 3.5mm port to rca to get the audio out...
does it charge the tablet at the same time?
I should have mentioned in my post above that portable USB DACs are primarily intended to be used with headphones. They will generally improve sound output to speakers as well, but a car-audio specific device like the one the OP posted may be better for that application... however, the only immediately apparent difference are the RCA plugs vs. aux. Worth the price difference? Not having heard that device as well as the lack of info/reviews (possibly a bad sign), my guess would be "no". With a device like mine or the Fiio usb models, you get the bonus of versatility: carrying it in your pocket and using headphones and then just using it in your car via an aux input (as long as your receiver has one). A caveat to using a portable USB DAC is that they actually drain your battery significantly faster (I found it odd that mine would only work with a "regular" micro usb to usb adapter cable, no sound when I tried it with a powered micro usb hub).
There may very well be better products if the intent is just to use it for car audio... I'm just not personally aware of any. I'm sure there are better forums (similar to head-fi.org but specific to cars) where you could probably find or get better answers re: good DACs for car audio

The one I posted says it does charge @2A.
My other question is: What controls the audio volume when you use a DAC?
My biggest issue is even with the volume maxed on my N4, my h/u sees very low input volume, and I have to nearly max out my h/u's volume to get anywhere, which induces a lot of clipping and distortion.. Which is bad.

I hear you on the lack of reviews/info on it being a bad sign, but I'm guessing the vast majority of people have no idea wtf a DAC even is..

i use a line-driver before i route the audio to my amp to make it sound like a pioneer deck , but that's wit a 3.5 mm to rca plug... imagine with this product.. i'm concerned about overheating because it's constantly charging and i live in phoenix and it's hot as you know what
and viper4android of course
It looks like the charge wiring is separate, you could always switch it on/off as required.
I'm thinking about giving this a go and see what happens. It's still a TON cheaper than replacing my h/u.

Re: volume control, it depends. Some have some kind of volume control on the DAC, but most don't. With most music players you just control the volume as usual from the phone. Usually the output is louder than it would be otherwise, but particularly clarity at high volume. Considering your description, I think you'd notice even more of a benefit from using UAPP - the volume is controlled by a slider on the "now playing" screen (there's a setting to use the physical volume buttons also, but warns that it will drain much more battery) and it can definitely play music louder overall.
gonna try this as well..
Does a USB OTG kernel capable is required for this?

is this the same product? damn cheaper too.
According to the specs on that page, yes, it's the same product; "IS3301".
And thanks for finding it! I'll pick it up and give it a try and post back, eventually.
Well, got it and installed it.
A few things:
1) Was wrong on being able to switch power. If you don't hook up the power wires, the DAC doesn't power up.
2)Won't work on the Note4 with a stock /rooted Tmobile ROM. Just can't do it. Why? No idea. The USB Audio Pro app doesn't work either.
3)DOES WORK and sounds great with both a Nexus 7 (2012) 4.4.4 and an ASUS ME173X., 4.2.2.
4)Even working on those 2 tablets, it pops up a dialog box saying something to the effect of "No apps that are compatible with this device are installed". Still works anyways, every app I tried played properly through it.
5)Audio is basically ON/OFF. If you adjust the audio volume on the tablet it's all or nothing, no in between.
I'd still like to figure out how to get it working on the Note, tethering the tab to my phone is less than elegant, the ME173x tablet is pitifully slow and horribly unresponsive, and it seems Samsung in their infinite wisdom have also removed BT tethering.
Also not working with Note 4 and the canadian 5.0.1 ROM (chenxiaolong). Argh. Going to try some different cabling, possibly a data only cable, I've read some Samsung phones do weird stuff with USBOTG and charging.
i have 2 different sets of bluetooth headphones over the neck.. one is bluetooth 4.2 other is 5.0 evertime i go to use them its at 50% volume.. i have checked and recheck ever setting pertaining to volume audio and bluetooth.
It's to protect what ever your connect to. Have you turned on your car and your radio is still atthe volume you left the car previously at and it scared the crap out of you?! Having it set at 50% saves both speakers and your ears.
There's a thing in android nowadays where it'll learn the volume preference per device you connect and next time you connect also it'll start from there! I don't have this problem for my car and I've not noticed on my earphones as well... When my phone is connected to the car, it's at 100% always!
You could use Bixby Routines to set a pre-defined volume level when you connect to specific devices, as well as any other changes you'd want.
I have it max-out the volume when it connects to my car, since the car has separate volume control.
Hi,
Is there any way to set a key on the remote to change between 2 remote profiles?
This would be the reason why I could really use this:
I have a 5.1 system that I need to turn on and change volume from it's own remote, because it's connected using Optical cable. The problem is there is a noticeable delay between TV audio and the 5.1 audio system, and even if I sink it up for YouTube, Netflix will have a different delay and so on.
So each time, to use the 5.1 system I need to turn it on, put the TV on mute, and use the remote volume keys for system volume, and I don't have enough customizable keys on the remote, so I always end up having to use 2 remotes, and having them spread out on the sofa and sitting on them is really annoying.
I have button mapper installed, but I have not found something like Macrodroid in Chromecast Play store, and I'm not even sure it would work.
Kind regards,
Daniel
