I have TRRS earphones with mic that are compatible with my last phone (HTC Aria); but in the U8800, playback is muffled (though it sounds great when the mic button is depressed) and the mic does not work.
Based on a search in other forums, I suspect that this problem is because the headphones use the Apple TRRS pinout convention (Right/Left/Ground/Mic) and not the 'standard' (Left/Right/Mic/Ground).
(Can't post links due to n00b status; search MoDaCo ZTE Blade forum for thread titled '4 pin jack converter')
How can I test this? Which earphone+mic sets will be compatible with my U8800? Could this wiring issue be circumvented by adapting the software?

Friends,
Could someone tell me if there is a way to capture audio from a microphone (handheld) and direct the signal into the Tilt using the usb connector?
Please advise if this is possible. I did some searching around town, didn't come up with much thats out there.
Tvos
Should be doable -- there is a mike input pin on the extUSB connector, for use with a wired headset (which comes standard with non-AT&T versions of the phone). Just find a compatible headset or a headset adapter with a built-in mike and use that -- or take the headset/adapter & replace the mike with a jack and plug in the mike of your choice. The xda-devs store would probably be a good place to start your search.
i'm using normal 3.5mm headphones to listen to music on my pocketpc and i always have to remove the headphones when talking to a person.
so i'm asking if there is any possibility to activate the phone's mic although a headset is connected?
ya i also want to know .
would be handy for sure...
I think it has something to do with the 3.5 headphone adapter type. When I used certain ones I would not be able to use the mic but when I used a cheap adapter from Radio Shack it would...

There is something in post 8 and also a HW hack but this involves new HW.
A thought (to be tested) - maybe it's possible to use 3,5 mm (or 2,5mm) output, split it in two, have headphones on one wire and attach a mic to the other end on ur shirt or smth.

thanks for the link to this thread... for everyone using a phone that doesnt have a 3.5mm direct output, this seems to be the solution! but i use a htc touch hd so i cant connect another cable for my 3.5mm headphones.
maybe there is a solution/hack that lets you modify the headset-profile in general to keep the phone's mic activated. or maybe there is a way to deactivate the headset-profile so someone can write a small app that deactivates the headset-profile as soon as there is an incoming or outgoing call?
Welcome. But by splitting I meant getting a 1 male - 2 female Y-cable, so what do You mean You can't connect another cable? You connect headphones on one female and the headset to the other, why shouldn't it work? I am aware that the HD has a headset that plugs into the audio port. So does my v1520, therefore I would personally be interested in the outcome as I would use the solution to link audio port to car input and use the internal mic as well
Maybe a profile manager like PhoneAlarm (Pro) or similar proggy that has editable and configurable profiles could also do the trick...
this is the wrong place for questions,
please refer to the Q&A section
thank you
I've was on the market for a high quality audio recorder but they seem way more expensive than they should be (£100+) yet the only difference between price ranges is the options offered to the consumer.
I was wondering if the HD2 works with a microphone such as this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-ECM-DS70P-Microphone-Stereo-Plugin/dp/B00005QBV2 If so, it could probably equal the high end recording devices. 200 bucks worth. See I have the above microphone and I'm trying to record in notes but despite the microphone being read and distinguished by the headphone symbol in the HD2, it's not picking up the sound.
Does anyone know if the HD2 can support external microphones? If maybe a certain program needs to be used to activate it? It could be a great solution for high quality gig recordings and dictations.
The HD2 uses a jack plug with 3 rings, which you can see on the stock headphones, and the mic is wired to the "inboard" ring your mic doesn't have. That's to keep compatibility with any standard headphones.
So yes it can take an external mic, but it needs to be wired correctly to such a plug. And can obviously only be mono.
Then, whether it can record full quality or applies a "telephone" filter to the input needs testing.
Mono would be suffice, but as there are two mics on the external device, wouldn't there be any way to allow stereo?
What kind of plug are you talking about in regards to wiring it to one?
Thanks kilrah for your very useful post.
Just look at the headphones you received with the phone, and compare the plug with the one on your mic, you'll quickly understand
No way to get stereo as the HD2 only has a mono mic input.

For the Axim X50 / X51 PDAs there was an adapter that took a 3-connector mic jack and rooted it to the correct ring on the 4-connector Axim socket. I tried to find an example with not much luck, but here is a link to start with:
(I am not allowed to post a link; sorry) go to mobilitysite and look up "seidio-audio-adapters".
Unfortunately, the seidio product does not seem to exist anymore... Anyway, would an adapter like this work on the LEO? I would think so, same concept.
Another alternative would be to use the USB port with sthg like the griffin imic but with a micro-USB adapter. Any chance for this?
Good question.
Anyone offer any enlightenment or an idea on adapters?

Sorry to say but it sounds like the digitizer is on it's way out. Replacing the digitizer is probably the only perminent fix. But don't just take my work for it, keep looking it still may yet be another solution out there for you.
I found a solution without replacing any hardware or soldering.
Follow these steps:
1. Download Android Terminal Emulator: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm
2. Delete your default music player with this tutorial: http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-20098610-285/removing-stock-apps-on-rooted-android-devices/ (I use this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1434860 and my default music player was named: Music.apk)
3. Download Winamp: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5udWxsc29mdC53aW5hbXAiXQ.. (to replace your default music player)
Tell me if it works
Common issue with some headsets & ROM headset driver/software & not related to digi as far as I have seen.
So if its a common issue are there other ways to fix it? Is there no way to just disable headset input?
Seen it in threads & on 2 colleagues HD2s when using some headset types.
Problem is audio feed bridges to remote connector on some leads with less than perfect connectors for the HD2 jack.
Using a standard headset adapted to 3.5mm female after buttons is one good option.
Saw a few threads on people looking for way to isolate remote driver but do not know the outcome but worth doing some searching.

Done on standard original headset lead it works perfect with after market headsets.
You may also get lucky with adapter like your link ...
What is the model name of that adapter?
And isn't that a 2,5 mm jack?
3.5mm jack added to standard genuine headset, done similar to my original headset and use aftermarket headphones & retain standard remote function without issues.
Hello,
As per the subject matter, I read about how to use Google Assistant on an android mobile/tablet instead of a separate smart speaker (Google Home/Mini). The functionality would be more or less similar with some exceptions with both the options. (comparisons are available around on different sites). Dont want to use the internal device mic/speaker, so looking for options for hooking up external mic/speakers.
[1]I was thinking of a setup to have an external wired mic hooked up to the tablet as being more sensitive to capture a wide area. I know I have to use a TRS to TRRS adapter to be able to hook up only a mic to the headphone jack on any standard android device. I believe android would still detect it as a headset (with microphone and speakers). I have an Audio-Technica ATR-4697 boundary mic which I intend to use for the purpose.
[2]For the audio output I am thinking of hooking up a Bluetooth speaker (always connected on charging) making it sort of a DIY smart speaker.
Can someone please inform if they have done a similar setup and how successful was it , and what are the main problems and not working functions.
One problem I can foresee is that due to point no.1 , the android will try to route the audio via the headphone jack, which would only have a mic connected.
I believe this can be forcefully redirected using the SoundAbout app, will it work.
Or else I can try to get a Y Splitter cable hooked to the headphone jack and connect both a wired mic and a wired AUX in speaker for the purpose. Not sure whether the Y splitter cable would have the same TRRS 3.5mm comaptible pin to hook up to the mobile head jack.
Any thoughts, guidance, product links would be appreciated.
Thanks.
Hmm...no noise as such...maybe i would try myself and would post the results. In the process of gathering stuff and hunting time slot to get at it.
