[Q] Is there a way to unmute the internal microphone? - Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone know if there's a way to get the internal microphone to work when you're wearing headphones? The ThunderBolt doesn't differentiate between headsets with mics built-in and regular headphones so it mutes the microphone during calls. I would love to be able to listen to the caller through my headphones and talk through the phone's mic. Seems like it should be pretty easy to write an app that would override the mic mute, but I don't know anything about writing code. Can anyone help me out? Thanks.

It's not possible really. HTC made it that way for some dumb reason. You might be able to trick the phone by not pushing the jack in all the way so that the headphones icon has a mic on it

Toggle Speaker

Hi!
Is there a tool to switch the sound of the big speaker (normal sound) to the small speaker (phonecalls)?
Thanks!
hey, cant seem to get your question, what do you need the tool for? do you mean using loud speaker during phone calls? or playing tunes?

greetings
loud speaker
you would need an adapter from cellular headphone jack to regular jack.

[Q] Disable External Speaker or Toggle

I have been testing out a few Sip app providers and the recurring theme is that audio handling on Android is a bit lacking.
Most of the time when making a audio call with these apps you will hear the sound come out of both the ear speaker and the external back loud speaker. This is obviously lame, because why should the external speaker be on when you have the phone up to your ear? So other people can hear the conversation? Obviously, that's not their intention.
The other problem is with echo. Since the external speaker is louder and very close to the mic which has high gain, the other party will hear themselves. It's VERY annoying.
Having said that, one Sip app provider has gone to great lengths to fix this Android "issue" by providing a multitude of hacks. Csipsimple does just this.
But I would like to use Sipdroid, which does not have a fix/hack in place.
So my question is: Is there an app or widget that disables the external speaker for rooted users (perhaps)?
Some of the market apps don't do the trick:
Widgetsoid2.x
Disable Speaker
Thanks.

How Use internal phone mic on bluetooth

Hi,
I have samsung vibrant, and have car stereo with bt handsfree, the problem is that the microphone of the car stereo has bad quality, the other side can't hear me.
The vibrant's mic is very good even if the phone is far away
My question is how I can disable bluetooth mic and use the phone internal one? Only the audio from the phone will be routed to the car stereo?
I searched all over the net but nothing, just a lot that searching solution like me.
Searched in android api for microphone disable,there is only mute procedure, no route/disabling.
Maybe some hack, I played with audio service menu of the sgs not found something there
Don't want use aux port for this
Please developers put attention that thing is usefull for a lot of users
Thanks

[q] noise cancellation issues in earphones

i have been using XZU for over a month now but one thing bugs me a lot, whenever i call and talk via using out of box earphones, i can distincly hear the background sound myself and somehow instead of cancelling that background sound, its amplies it and send it to the other end, ive heard many of my callers tell me that they cant hear my voice as the background sound is a lot when im not in such a noisy atmosphere.
anybody else has faced this issue? any idea whats wrong and how i can solve it?
I am experiencing exactly the same issue. The headset picks up all the background noise when I am having a call, and it is annoying because I can't hear clearly what my caller is saying.... I'm sure it is a bug... Am on software update 532 and this is really bugging me

In settings/call settings there are some tick boxes you can try:
Hearing aids
microphone noise suppression
speaker voice enhancement
If they don't work then it must be a hardware issue. (ear piece with mic)
Personally I've never used the headphone set. I use the SBH-52 bluetooth unit

I confirm the same problem does not exist in Bluetooth headset but it only happens when you use a wired headset like the Sony MH750 supplied in the box. I have tried using other wired headsets and the same problem exist - your earphone just plays also the sounds that are received in the microphone so you are not only hearing the caller but you are also hearing your own voice as well as the noises of the surrounding environment.... really really annoying.
