Hi, Will I be able to connect an android phone to the system? And can I control the songs/volume from my phone or does it have to be docked? Thanks

Your phone has to be docked...I have an Android DNA... It does not dock. The docking clip is large...@1"..size of the charging clip for ipods... Hope this helps

Yes, My android phone works and I control the volume with both the machine and the phone. As far as I can tell it has to be docked. I haven't figured out how to connect remotely. All cannot seem to find any instructions for remotely connecting. I have not tried contacting the company because I haven't needed to. forum references remote connection but says you have to be so close that it doesn't matter if you aren't docked anyway. But the mic works great, even from a distance of 20 or so feet from the machine.

Yes, you can connect any device to the system... it has an adapter cable that fits 1/4 inch or 3.5 mm plugs. As to having to be docked in order to control the volumes and track selections... you are able to adjusted volumes which ever way you prefer (the device or the system), however your track selections must be controlled from the device.

You can plug your android phone by the included aux cord . That's how I do it , and controls from your phone

My son, who has the Headphones uses an ipod with his and does not know how an android device would work. Sorry that I don't have a better answer for you.

Yes, the dock boss will not only play an Android device, but also charge it at the same time. It charges slowly, however, but fast enough so that the Android device does not lose any battery strength while playing, so the dock boss is very useful and worth buying.

only as a speaker source, it has a small drawer that opens an extends out with an ipod/iphone connection that allows you to control the functions with the included remote control, however this only works with the older versions, not the iphones with the newer smaller connectors. To use with an android you can plug into the available aux jack, but the remote will only work for the volume in that case.

Yes via Bluetooth, I haven't tried to plug it in using the USB. But I know I can control the music on the phone with the head unit.

It can play through blue tooth from your phone, if you want to put your music onto a separate micro SD you can play from it instead of using your phone. I would not take the SD out of your phone to use.

I use Android and can bluetooth to the Songo. It works OK, but not great (breaks up if you move the smartphone). Hope this helps

I honestly can't answer you. I don't use a dock or have one. I thought about using a Bluetooth speaker for it.

No it doesn't work with controls on the dock. You'll have to control it on the device you're playing the music from to move tracks or change volume.

I'm not sure I'm regards to what but I use my galaxy s4 connected via line in cable. I also keep an older ipod with a large storage capacity plugged in for music on the fly when I don't feel like plugging my phone in. It'll charge your Android phone. You might be able to change it so your phone reads like a storage device so that it'll play music off of there. Great head unit much better than my older jvc

Only apple products that use the original charger can be docked, unless you buy the pin converter for newer devices. You can play music from any device with an auxiliary port/headphone jack.

System came with a cable that connects headphone jack on phone into volume control knob, also came with a little stand for device.This works for my Samsung Galaxy Nexus and for my I-touch.

it depends on what you are asking. Will the audio work over bluetooth? Or will the phone work over bluetooth? Most of the functionality of the dock is in the app. Depending on your use it may or may not do what you want. I used a 3rd party app to manage the bluetooth called SoundAbout. I would do a google search for Samsung Galaxy S4 and SoundAbout. Good luck.

Yes it's just a Usb cable it has an adapter in the end that plugs into the phone which triggers the phones dock mode which I believe is part. Of android. If you plan using the headphone plug on the cable your phone will need to support audio through the Usb which I believe was added to android with 4.1 jelly bean

Yes you can connect phone via blue tooth to play music. It's a great product for the money. Really happy with this purchase.

Yes you can. My wife uses this speaker for her Zumba classes and hooks up her iPhone to it. While it doesn;t have a dock, all you need is a 3.5mm cable (http://amzn.to/1gSwCBE) with a 3.5mm to 1/4" adapter (http://amzn.to/1iaZ7yR). Insert the small plug into your device and the large end into the AUDIO IN jack on the speaker.
