Hi guys, hoping someone might be able to help
There's this annoying with this phone where if you plug in a pair of USB-C earphones they are not picked up until you activate 'OTG connection' in settings. I'm sure we're all familiar with this annoyance. My question is, is there a way, maybe an app or similar whereby this could be turned on automatically when I plug in, or maybe put a switch on/off slider in the form of a widget on the home screen? I don't use earphones often really and invariably forget what it is I need to turn on, and end up Googling it again!
Cheers

Hi there,
I don't know if some of you already had Sony-Ericsson phones, but there is a useful feature on them (which must also exist for other brands): when you plug your headphones in the phone, it switches to "headphones" sound profile.
When unplugging them, the sound profile goes back to the state it was before plugging-in.
Is there a way, on Windows Mobile, and thus for Diamond, to do such a thing? Or, at least, to switch to "silent" mode when unplugging the headphones cable?
Thanks for your answers!
Really no idea about how to do this?
Hi,
I just bought an active Brodit Carholder with a 1-to-3 adapter, but I dont want to use (for now) the 3.5 mm connector for sound. The problem is, that my Diamond thinks that a Headset is connected, while plugged in, no matter if a headset is connected or not (3,5mm or ExtUSB). So I cant hear my Navigation Program...
Has anyone an idea how to "say" my Diamond to use its own speaker while plugged in (I'd prefer the Hardware-method, like connecting some contacts inside the 1-to-3 adapter).
Brodit Issue!!!
Same problem here!!! Can anybody help us out? So many smart people here, this problem should be an easy one (I would guess)
Thanks in advance!!!
I've the same Problem! Is there any answer?
go to registry
HKLM/System/State/Hardware/Headset
check its value when connected and when disconnected....
it must be "0".
Brodit Issue
Does this mean that I need to set it everytime when I put my Diamond in the Brodit car holder? There must be an easy way.......
But thanks anyway, let me try
Thanks, but I'd prefer a hardware method like cutting a cable/bridging two etc... so I don't have to set this registry value everytime i put my diamond into the carholder..
There must be an easy way thats right!
It don't work if i change the registry, when die headset is connected,
the value changes to 1 but when i change it to 0 nothing happens!!
Brodit problem
Has nobody got a solution for this problem? So many smart people up here...
PLEASE HELP
Thanks guys!!!
Hello, got also this problem i'm using the touch Pro, can anyone help me?
when my phone is in the Brobit carkit it thinks that my headset is connected.
So when I receive a call the sound of the conversation is over my car speakers, but there is nog mic.....
Anyone with a solution?
Any News on this?
Thanks!!
The only extUSB cable that worked well for me is the YC-A300 cable. It only sends out the sound if the headphones are plugged in, otherwise the sound comes from the Diamond speaker. It also enables the Diamond's built-in mic even if the headphones are connected.
No-one here can even be expected to help you with this problem. You were given the only solution available from the phone's end. So what makes you think that someone can give you a better answer. Most of the people here are phone modders, not accessory modders. And everything here has to do with SOFTWARE modding. You want hardware modding, & that isn't happening here. Besides yous guys are probably the only ones here that even have that holder. So you can try looking for a site that has forums developed around the holder that you have. Or, you can try to find a service manual on the holder & see if there is a schematical routing of the wires.
You shoud not have to bridge any of the wires though. It should just be a matter of diconnecting wire(s).
If I understand !nVisible correctly, you only want the charge capability, & nothing else. If so, then here is a possible "hardware" fix.
First make sure that all the wires are color coded.
Cut ALL the wires.
If there is only one black wire then reattach it first. (if possible, don't cut this one at all) {This should be ground -}
Connect the plug into your phone. {Be sure holder's power is plugged in}
Reattach & detach the wires one-by-one until the charge light is activated. {if the charge doesn't activate then disconnect that wire again} {Start with Red, then orange, then variatons of red (red is usually the positive +}
Or, try this:
Attach the plug into your phone whilst holder is powered. {if the holder is activating the headset, then you should see a headset icon in the startbar.}
Cut each wire one-by-one until you deactivate the headset icon. {reattaching the wires that don't deactivate.}
start with blues & greens {if present}
Remember; Black is most always ground, & red {or a variation of} is usually positive.
DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK!! I personally would do it this way {if no other solutions existed}; but I've been working on electronics since I was a child {& I went to electronics school }
If you $&%* it up It's on you NOT me!
I'm running Froyo/CM6, by the way.
In short, anytime the phone is put into the car dock, the bluetooth media volume is set to max. If I have it connected and playing as I insert it, it's fine unttil the next track plays. I have even deleted the actual car home launcher app from the phone, although the phone still detects it has been inserted into the car dock (icon in notification.) Even selecting this icon and exiting car mode still leaves me with the same issue - volume on BT audio constantly being reset to max.
This does NOT happen on the desk dock, that works flawlessly.
Is there a way to somehow keep the phone from detecting being inserted into the car dock? Or somehow "spoofing" the dock so it thinks it's a desk dock? I haven't looked into the pins on the two docks, since I think there are 4 contacts on the phone, and only 3 pins on each dock.. so maybe one triggers normal and one triggers desk? Will get back to you all on this. But in the meantime ... help!
Thanks in advance!
Just checked, same number of pins. Although something occured to me which I will test in a bit ... perhaps there's a magnet in the base of the desk dock, which is how it knows which is which ... ?
***PROBLEM (sort of) SOLVED!!!***
No magnets involved, but when looking at the car dock, if you cover the second / middle pin with something non-conductive so the contacts on the phone don't touch that single pin when it's inserted, the phone still charges but does NOT know it's in the car dock, therefore it doesn't go all goofy with the audio volumes.
Downside is that it doesn't automatically open up whatever Car Home app you may want, but at the cost of one whole extra click .. ? Fine by me.
Photo to illustrate, maybe this will help someone sometime.
Having exactly the same issue, going nuts trying to solve it. Will try this, thanks for the tip.
Just my 2 cents :
You can try an app such as "tasker" to modify your N1 behaviour when it detects it's inserted into the car dock, and set up the volume you need.

Sorry for the bump here, but I'm having the exact same issue and for some reason changing the media volume does NOTHING for me. At any level it's full blast aside from 0 where it mutes.
I use to have a droid 2 and I used it with the car dock with out any problems at all, My car had the aux input for the audio cable from the dock, so when ever my phone would ring or I would make a call, it would go through the cars speakers, Ok so now I have the D3 and the new D3 car dock, same car. Here's the problem, when ever the phone is in the car dock and you place or receive a call, by default the phone switches to speaker phone, and when in speaker phone mode it will not play through the speakers, and yes I can just hit the speaker phone button on the dial pad to turn the speaker off and then it will play through the cars speakers but I really dont like having to do this every . time,I NEVER had to do this with my D2. I have tried other car dock apps to see if this would go away but it don't. Any help or thought would be great.

Sorry man, but I've dug through and have not found any settings pertaining to that. It may be an automatic feature that has not been developed into an adjustable setting in Android 2.3.4 (Since its a new Car Dock App)
However, this may help you out.
http://ig88.cwfk.net/?page_id=96
It's a third party app that might work.
Actually, I think I found something pertaining to it.
In here: http://static.googleusercontent.com...lp/hc/pdfs/mobile/AndroidUsersGuide-2.3.4.pdf
On page 333.
Not sure yet if it applies to our Droid 3 completely, but it might. I don't have an AUX in port in my car to test it out at the moment.
Edit: It appears Motorola/Verizon left out the "Dock" settings under the general settings menu. Unless, it shows up when docked - idk yet.
If it doesn't, I'd try going into applications, "all" applications, select cardock or car home app, and clear data. This may restore the question that it supposedly asks you when you connect to the dock for the first time.
I found the problem and the solution.
Without any setting to change and all the apps I tried did not help, I decided to take a look at the dock and by that I mean take it apart and see whats going on inside. What I found was that where the usb car charger attached there was a circuit board, I am not an electronics guy but I figured that was whats causing the phone to automatic go in to speaker phone when connected to the dock, and I was right. That was the problem, and now for the solution, I had a car dock for a droid x handy so I took it apart as well, and I found that it did not have the circuit board, it was just a straight through put, from the usb connection on one end to the micro usb on the other end, the end that sticks up in the car dock that the phone connects to. So with a little bit of modification and I do mean little, I was able to swap them out, and now all is well again. Pretty ****ty that MOTO would do this and not give an option to change it in the setting though.
My phone seems to have touchy connection with the 3.5mm Jack. When I plug it in in my truck it won't hold a connection. If I'm using headphones when I bump the phone or set it down it pauses and if I tap the back near the top again it'll play. Sometimes with the cord in Google Now opens when the back gets tapped. I hear a small rattle around the area too. Not sure if it's related. Is this some stupid accessibility feature? Help? I just got this phone yesterday

I know this thread is kind of old but did you ever get this issue figured out? I'm experiencing the same thing. I even disabled the Google search app hoping it would fix it, and the Google voice search prompt no longer pops up, but it still pauses and skips tracks with any light bump (at least while using Spotify).
It's very annoying and even kind of dangerous that I have to keep messing with it while I drive. Thanks for your time.

It is very annoying and no I really haven't found a solution. I now only use headphones when I'm sitting still. I have found that some cords seem not to be effected by this problem but I'm not sure why. I have tried different brands and styles to no avail. The only thing I ever read about this was that on M8s people put rubber o- rings on their headphone jacks because it was shorting on the metal housing. Obviously not the issue here because the 626s is plastic, but perhaps worth a try? Let me know if you find a solution
I can tell you I don't have this issue. I am using some headphones that came with my LG 8 years ago lol and an aux from the dollar store. Haven't tried anything else.
I have some trouble with my headphone/aux port too, but not quite like what you all are describing. I'm also using one of the AdvancedStock images from Sandix, so I wasn't certain if that had something to do with it (although I doubted it). I have a cheap but sturdy aux cable in my car that connects to my phone (this cable worked flawlessly with my last phone). When I plug it in, the phone recognizes a cable is plugged in, displays the right icon in the notification bar on the top and the sound works properly (going to the car) for a few seconds. During this time I hear some clicks passed through from the phone. After a few seconds the clicks stop and the phone changes back to as if no cable is plugged in (no icon, sound goes out phone speakers). I then have to unplug the cable and re-plug it back in to repeat the process. Finally after 2-4 tries it sticks and the aux cable stays working. At no point is the connection touchy; in that if I move the phone, shake the cable, whatever, the connection stays the same. I recently learned if I plug the cable in slowly, the phone things I have a headset with a microphone plugged in (this is not that kind of cable; it does not have the third microphone connection). It still does the clicks thing, but when it stops, the aux connection is still working fine, every time. I have not tried it with a normal set of headphones/earbuds yet or an actual earbud-with-mic set.
Noticed with case seems to not do it as much. With mine I have to twist cable to get it to work. There seems to be certain spots that it stays playing but sometimes finicky
