Is there a way to disable the loudspeaker whilst playing music?

There is one reason why I have never used my Kaiser as a music/media player - the lack of a headphone jack. I am now look at upgrading to a Rhodium, but again HTC fails to include the most basic of requirements. pfff
I know that I can get a headphone adaptor, or even use bluetooth, but the problem for me is that whenever the usb plug falls out, as it invariably does, or the bluetooth signal drops, I instantly upset everyone within 100m by blasting crappy tinny sounding music at them through the phone speaker. Of course, 3.5mm jacks don't have the same habit of just falling out.
Therefore, is there any way that I can set up the phone so that when music or media is playing (usually through Coreplayer) the phone speaker is disabled?
Thanks

Plug in headphones? Otherwise if your not using the speakerphone how would you hear anything?
I've used a 3.5mm to mini usb cable and adapter, they both worked fine. I liked the cable better since i worried less about it breaking in my pocket. Its not the exact same one i am using right now but this one is only a penny.

but therein lies the problem - because the headphone output is mini-usb, it is always at risk of falling out (far more so than a 3.5mm jack).

Yea life is tough that way. I've yet to have anything just fall out of my mini usb port myself.
I suppose you could write a script that detects if anything is plugged in to the usb port ala Audio Booster, and auto mute if nothing is detected. But i don't think i've seen an auto mute app or anything like that.

Here's a kind of work around. I found this doing a google search for Auto Mute for PPC. http://www.pocketpcfreeware.com/en/index.php?soft=277
You could fire it up set it for an hour or so and listen away w/out fear, in theory at least.

that's a great idea - I'll give it a go. Thanks for taking the time.

Hope it works for ya! I can't get to the site and test it myself. I'm at work

Looks like the link is broken, but the idea is worth spending some time with google for

Damn.
This one says WinMo 5 ver 1.1, but i would think WinMo 6 is backward compatible. What about this one?

Problem with phone calls over car aux

I hate making new threads but I can't seem to find an answer. Maybe I'm using the wrong keywords.
I use my N1 in my car alot. It's my main source for my music and hand's free calling while driving. I use the aux jack on my stereo to the N1 for music.
When I get a call it would ring though the speakers and I would touch the slider to accept the call. The caller would hear me crystal clear and I would hear them though the speakers just fine.
Now when I get a call, they can't hear me. They say I sound like I'm far far away. I can hear them just fine. But I look like a madman in my car screaming and yelling just to be heard.
So what I have to do now, is answer the call, and touch speaker, which only plays the voice though the speaker phone. They hear me crystal clear but sound is no longer going to the car speakers.
Anybody have this problem or know what's causing it or even a push in the right direction?

I have this excact same problem.
I came from a milestone using a standard 3.5mm audio jack and calls went really well. But when i tried my nexus, i got the same response, "sounds liek your far away".
I tried a few AUX cables but they all seem to do the same thing. So my solution was a aux cable with a built in mic.
I ended up modding the headphones that came with my nexus to get this working. Removed the earbuds and soldered a 3.5mm jack.
Now when i talk using that cable with a built in mic, ppl hear me very clearly. So i've jsut been using that cable since. I'm sure you can buy a premade aux cable with a mic at any local mobile audio store. I saw one at a BestBuy mobile here.
Hope this helps.

but the issue is that at one point it DID work normal with his nexus. i think what is going on here is the phone originally read the aux input as just standard audio output. but now its reading it differently somehow, i just dont know why. its almost like the difference when a phone thinks you have headset connected vs audio out connected with no mic support. no idea on a solution though...

I was thinking on buying the Belkin one with the mic right at the aux jack.
Hope this helps.

Exactly, it DID work. I can't pin point when it happened for me. I was thinking maybe it was when I went from Eclair to Froyo?

I'm almost positive that using the phone over Aux out broken with the update to Froyo. Has anyone tried this yet with Gingerbread on the N1 or with an NS? I'm hoping they fixed this, it's a really, really frustrating problem.
My fear is that everyone at Google got free car docks so they won't ever fix it because it's never a problem for them.

I also have the exact same problem. Thought it never worked for me, I only recently sets up my car mount with aux. Anybody found a solution?

[Q] Headphone Port Problems?

My wife has a Lumia 920. She's tried 2 different headphones and each has the same problem. If the jack is pushed all the way into the 920's port, the headphones do not connect properly. There is no audio in the headphones. Pulling the jack out of the port ever so slightly makes the connection and the audio is heard.
We're going to try a third set of headphones on her 920 and go to an AT&T store to try another 920 but I'm beginning to think this is a problem with this particular unit. Has anyone else had this kind of problem?

Only had the issue with the original headphones, not a different brand/kind. Called Nokia and they told me to go to the place I bought it at ..

we have two 920's and I tried three different sets of headphones (over ear, and in ear). There is no problem with connection to my Sennheiser and when I plug it into the phone it makes a noticeable click at the last stage of insertion. However, it seems not as tight with my Logitech and I can see that some may have problems. When I press the connector into the jack it disconnects sound, but as soon as I let go it's fine.
if I had the same problem you wife is experiencing I would probably return it.
edit:
I noticed that it is rather tough to push it all the way in. The last stage only snaps in with some more force. If you see any metal from the connector then it is not all the way in. In this state it's rather erratic depending on how far it's in.

Xiaomi Mi9 Usb-c to aux adapter problem

Hi! Recently got my MI9 and i love it! Apart from a missing Aux cord ofc Tried out the adapter that came with the phone in my car, but it seems like it's giving out a buzzing/static loud noise when using it although you can also hear the music. My old phone with aux plays without problem. Thoughts?

I have same problem with phone Roku app and headphones.
But sound from YouTube is fine.
Fuxd up drivers I reckon...
The adapter is really too tight fit as well into USBC port...

P20 pro. No sound from right earbud/headphone

Hi
I've got a P20 pro, and a pair of the freebuds. All was well, but now there is no sound coming from my right earbud. However, I have tried the earbuds with another phone and they're fine, and I've tried other bluetooth headphones with my phone, and again, no sound on the right, which leads me to the conclusion that it's an issue with the phone.
I've cleared the bluetooth cache, but that's not helped.
Any suggestions please?

The fact that it happens on bluetooth and through wired headphones means this must be a software issue. Try a factory reset.

I've not got any wired headphones. Just bluetooth.
If I try and plug anything other than a charger into the charging/headphone port I end up with another problem! So I only use wireless.

Have you forgetting the headphones bluetooth connection and repairing?

Tried unpairing/forgetting etc.
Earbuds work perfectly well on other phones. Other wireless earphones which work perfectly have the same issue on mine. I've tried 4 other phones and 4 other wireless earphones (pixel, samsung, and 2 iphones)
I really don't want to reset the phone. It looks like something I'll have to put up with for another few months until my contract is up.
