Hi can I check if i use our own 3.5mm earphones, am I able to make phone calls while listening to music?
As in the mic of the phone won't be disabled?
Asing this as diamond, dream while coupled with 3.5mm output adaptors, it disable the phone build in mic and I have to unplug the adaptor to make phone calls

Wow, you really can multitask! Hold a phone conversation and listen to music at the same time.. Anyway, Can't do that on the hero. The music stops playing and the call takes priority.

ha bro, i didnt mean that..
My question was since my own 3.5mm earphone doesnt have mic, would it be using the phone's mic when there is an incoming call?
From my experience with diamond/g1, when using a 3.5mm adaptor (doesnt have mic) with my earphones, the phone's mic is disabled. so if there is a call, i would have to unplug it and talk like normal.
I would like to check if hero is smart enuff to enable the phone's mic when using normal earphones..
Ok- got mine and this is how it goes

I have run this phone connected to the 3.5mm jack in the car with music and satnav running and taken a call at the same time. Hope that helps
I know what you mean dude. This is a similar thing I had on my Ameo. When a phonecall comes in & you have your 3.5mm earphones in the speaker sound comes through the earphones & the phones mic becomes active, allowing you to use your phone a bit like a CB radio.

hi,
already asked this on the official sony-erricson forum but no response, so maybe someone here can help....
has anyone managed to connect an external microphone to the x10 for video recording? maybe with some kind of self-made adapter?
not talking about hands-free sets but rather a more "professional" recording microphone.
i already tried to connect various external microphones (active and non-active) to the phone but then i only get statics / clicking noises.
reason i'm asking is i took a video at a concert but the sound is clipping really bad... really a shame especially with upcoming 720p recording....
(maybe another solution would be if it was possible to adjust the sound recording level... any app for that?)
It should be possible to add an external microphone. You probably will need a homemade adapter. The headphone/microphone jack is a TRRS connector (tip, ring, ring, sleeve). Check Wikipedia for TRS. The "pinout" is listed there.

So if you just plug the handsfree in with and/or without the headphones as well, it records audio (voice memo and video)?

yes, you can use the hands-free (with or without the headphone part) as a microphone when recording video... quality is a little better than the internal microphone but still not really good...

thank you argnom... . now i know what to search for..
there seem to be some adapters for the iphone that split the trrs connector into seperate microphone/headset connectors... maybe i will try one of these... or is the wiring different on the x10 from the iphone?
www . showmecables.com/viewItem.asp?idProduct=8335
edit: think i found the one i need (IF the wiring is the same as for the iphone...)
www . kvconnection.com/product-p/km-iphone-mic.htm
I really don't know if the wires are in the same order... I suppose they should be.

I've tried everything single brand. Dr dre beats, shure, sennheiser, any headphones or earbuds that have mic it won't work with x10. You can use x10 headset that came in box with regular earbuds or headphones

no pesky wires either then

lol true like mw600 but drains battery
Has anyone got an external microphone working with the HTC One X. I have bought and adapter and a microphone but its still not working at all. Any help would be appreciated.
I'm using obsidian v2 froyo build. Music and navigation work fine thru the headphone Jack when attached to my car stereo. However when a call comes in or if I'm trying to make a call I get nothing. I've searched thru various forums and others are having the same issue but could not find a solution. Any help would be appreciated
its a "feature" of all the froyo roms. froyo seems to want to ignore headphones without mic as it has a self-esteem problem and does not trust the quality of its mic at a distance.
it seems to be a kernel issue and won't be able to be addressed until they devs have source. only alternative is to have a cable with an in-line mic. that works for most of the roms. (i would say all, except i just flashed latest macnut and its not working )
EDIT: also, don't post this in dev forum. i answered nicely, but this is not the appropriate venue.
So why does it work for some and not for others
wait, so audio out still works fine but NOT the in-line mic?
sorry for the noob question, but i was going to flash obsidian later this evening, and i really need the 3.5 audio out. don't really care about using in-line mic headphones at all
thx
it doesn't. those for whom it works are those using headphones with a mic, those for whom it doesn't are using headphones or cable without mic.
well, crap

It is a kernel issue. We are looking into it.
The funny thing is when I first flashed obsidian v2 I attempted to try out the 3.5mm out thru my car speakers. I was listening to Pandora in my car, I received a call and I heard the caller thru my car speakers. But it has not worked since then. And all I'm using is an audio out cable attached to my Alpine head unit
This does not work on any Froyo Roms, because of the required external mic, but does anyone know of a 3.5mm adapter that has a jack for headphones as well as a inline mic? Would this work ?
EDIT:
Looking at the audio routing from this page: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/AudioManager.html
it looks like some of it is deprecated, does this mean that it will never work?
int ROUTE_EARPIECE This constant is deprecated. Do not set audio routing directly, use setSpeakerphoneOn(), setBluetoothScoOn() methods instead.
int ROUTE_HEADSET This constant is deprecated. Do not set audio routing directly, use setSpeakerphoneOn(), setBluetoothScoOn() methods instead.
int ROUTE_SPEAKER This constant is deprecated. Do not set audio routing directly, use setSpeakerphoneOn(), setBluetoothScoOn() methods instead.

I see. Well I hope there's a solution soon, in the meantime keep up the great work u guys are doing for us.
I'm having a hard time understanding what everyone is saying is broken here...
I use a standard line out cable from my headphone jack into the analog aux input on my car stereo. I purchased a cheap extension cable that has the 3.5mm plug on one end and a mic/button at the other end that I plug the regular cable into. When I get a call, I pick up the mic on the cable and speak into it and I can hear the caller through my stereo and they can hear me just fine. This has always worked for 2.1 ROMS and so far has worked for three 2.2 ROMS I've tried.
Everyone is saying that the mic function is not working, but it's working fine for me.

It is working for you because of your extra external mic, it is confirmed a few post back that when using an external mic, it work fine but when using just a pair ear phones + internal mic (the one at the bottom of your phone), it fails to work. It used to work on 2.1 roms.
same thing here, went from fusion 1.1 to V4 Onyx...big pain in the ass out on the road today. Never wold have thought to check for that. I constantly have music going, ussually it will pause my mp3, and beep and show up the phone call, but now music plays, until I anwser and no go from the headphone jack.. I have mine hooked to an fm transmitter so i can take calls over car speakers.

Which cable are you using that has a built in mic? Should I look in my G1 / Mytouch boxes for an old one?

Ah. That makes more sense then - I thought people were using the mic built into the headset, not the actual phone.
d33dvb, the cable I use is similar to this one:
http://www.accessorygeeks.com/apple-iphone-maletofe-headset.html
It's an iPhone accessory, but works fine with the Vibrant. It's been a few months since I bought it, and don't remember where I got it, but I do know that I got two of them for less than 8 bucks.

Thanks man, I think I will hit the best buy and that will be my temp solution to running 2.2
This issue is the biggest reason I'm not running a 2.2 rom.
What's the quality of the mic like on that adapter cable? The mic built into the phone is really good, I was on a call one day and had only raised my voice a little, but the caller on the other end asked me to stop yelling. I was like "Umm... I'm not"

found this on ebay, think it might work?
I have the official Samsung cardock, and connected it to my car radio (the cardock has a 3.5mm jack output). Nice, now I can listen to the music on my phone over my carspeakers!
BUT:
Whenever I make or receive a call, the sound of the conversation keeps channeling through the phone's own external speaker. Disabling the phone's external speaker (either during the call or beforehand) does not fix it. It just néver get's through the 3.5mm jack output to my car stereo. Annoying, since my car is pretty loud when speeding.
[Q]How to channel the audio of a voicecall to the jack-output? Does anybody know of a fix for this? I have looked around-and-around-and-around, and have asked this before. Just can't believe I'm the only-one that is bothered by this!
I AM NOT LOOKING FOR BLUETOOTH-CARKIT-SUGGESTIONS, no matter how nice you guys mean it
Anybody any idea?
Nobody no ideas?
I would like to do this too, speeding along the motorway the phone speaker is just too quiet.

Ah, at least I'm not the only one... Now let's hope some dev is bothered by the same problem
I guess this is gonna be one of those unanswered questions...
Bump-bumptie-dum
I recon if I bump long enough, someone with the solution should notice this question sooner or later; Although I realize that moment might be somewhere around 2015, with an answer like "Buy a galaxy S9 mate..."
Anyone?
Is the S9 there yet? Or else a solution to my problem?
I have a std aux input into my car stereo. Plugging a stereo 3.5 lead from the phone jack into the stereo aux I can listen to all sounds from the phone over all car speakers including calls... Just like when a headset is connected. Calls go over car speakers and phone mic picks up voice.
It would seem then that its the official samsung dock being treated different to a simple direct lead connection.
My only gripe is during calls the phones mic works but thinks its on a std call and is a bit weak. Wish I could force the mic into speakerphone mode or the levels associated with that mode anyway. Btw... Turning on speakerphone while lead is connected stops the output over the speakers.
I have a trrs mic / stereo splitter adapter and a seperate car 3.5 mic but again the mic levels on the phone in headset mode need boosting.

Hmm... So maybe if I use a splitter to merge the signal from both the cardock AND the phonejack...
Thnx m8! Not entirely what I was looking for (one more thing to do when plugging in my phone in the car), but it just-might-work!
Will report back
Just note I do not 'need' the splitter to make it work. Without a splitter it works just fine using car speakers and the phones mic (as the aux lead is std audio lead only - not including the third ring position for the mic).
I just got the splitter to use a seperate external mic in the car. The splitter simply has all 3 rings to make phone think its a full headset connected like the set that comes in the box with the phone and splits audio and mic into 2 seperate connections. This way I then take the std aux lead from the audio split to the stereo for listening over the car speakers and use the mic split for plugging in any std 3.5 external mic.

I understood that, it's just that I would probably need a splitter in my specific situation, since all my music gets played through the cardock by default as soon as I plug in the phone... It's possible to disable this automatic switch of audiorouting when the phone get's plugged in though, but somehow it just doesn't feel right to NOT use the audio-out feature of the cardock
Does anyone know how to have call audio come through the headphone jack when plugged into my headphones while allowing the use of the internal mic for my voice?
I am coming for epic touch 4g that used to do it automatically when I had my headphones plugged in, but now people on the other of the call cannot hear my voice through the internal mic. I am guessing the phone thinks I have a headset with a mic, which I don't, so it turn off the internal mic.
Thoughts?
Thanks!

Had the same problem on my Samsung Captivate. I think the headphone jack is slightly different and causes this. I've heard of it being fixed in custom roms though.

Bummer. I went searching through the call settings and did not find anything so this is sounding more like the case..
I actually have the opposite problem and have a headset with a mic, but the voice isn't being transmitted at all.
I can hear them no problem, but they can't hear me. Seems to work fine with the stock earbuds but not with my other headset (which worked fine on my S2).

Exactly. I'm using my Beats by Dre with the ControlTalk cable. Again, no problems on the S2, just on the Note
Me too
I have the same problem with my Captivate. When I plug in a headphone to listen to music and I receive a call, I cannot take the call using audio output as my headphones and internal phone built in mic for the input.
Has anyone found a solution to that yet ?
--Update.
I'm on Slimbean 4.2.2 and surprisingly it seems to work now.
Hello all,
I have the following issue on a GT-I9300, stock rom, not rooted on Orange Romania carrier:
listening to music on wired headphones Sennheiser ie8i, everything is ok, then when receiving a call I hear the caller for one second then the headphone icon disappears and the conversation is switched to phone and all I can do is to get the headphones out and put them back to have the conversation in my heaphones & headphones microphone.
Should I mention this heaphones have the standard iphone remote on wire and work flawlessly on my other phone (HTC One X).
I've tried to search the forum but didn't found anything similar, so bear with me please. Thank you!
Did you make sure the headphone is fully inserted into the headphone jack? Mine works perfectly after I pushrd it still the way in
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Yep, pushed all the way it goes... Needless to say that music I listen to its clean and powerful stereo. When call starts, I hear a second of the conversation, then headphone icon disappears form status bar and conversation is switched to phone. Even after that, if I push play again, the music starts in the phone speakers. I have to pull the headphones and insert again in order to work.
Its kind of disappointing, because I am more like a HTC guy and switched to S3 for the very reason of superior audio quality.

Hello,
I have the same problem (not evern hear the caller for sec) with my Sennheiser mm30i and Klipsch s4i, which both work fine on HTC desire and S2.
Kind regards,
Ron
it seems that for what it worth HTC android phones are more compatible with iphone type headphones than Samsung. I still hope that this is merely a software problem and some developer will look into it. I use now latest Omega (34).
