Hi,
Does anyone know if the Mate 20 Pro is compatible with External Mics.
Planning to up my video output next year and also shoot some weddings. I know the Pixel 3 is compatible and was top of my list, but do really like the look of the Mate 20 Pro too.
Would be a USBC > Headphone adapter > RODE Mic with a Gimbal setup.
I assume it is, either through the native app or a 3rd party app, but not seen it confirmed anywhere.
Yes it works. Rode mic, adapter in box to phone.

Hi..
I have a question on how to get a external microphone to work on my Galaxy Nexus.
For further detail see my full description here:
http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...rophone-on-my-galaxy-nexus-to-video-recording
Tried to ask in the Galaxy Nexus forum, but no one answered me, and i think the question is also relevant for other phones as well. Thats why i have posted here...
Really hope someone can help me
Thanks
I have found the solution myself...

which mic do you have?
Use of Ext. Mic on Android when Recording Video [SOLVED]
External Microphones and Video Recording.
The existing thread discussed the solution to the general question of using an external microphone with a combo jack. I however ran into a related problem when I tried to use an external microphone when recording video with the standard camera app.
As noted in the thread above, the first step is using a splitter adapter which splits the signal into two distinct ports - one that can be used for a microphone input connection (mono), and the other for stereo output to a headphone. I used a StarTech MUYHSMFF adapter that cost about $8.00 (US). :good:
This solution worked for straight audio recording as I could indeed record audio. But the solution failed when I tried to record video. Obviously, this meant that the problem was a software problem either in the camera app or in Android itself, as opposed to a hardware problem.
The Asus technical support person suggested that I try a new camera app. I download and tried seven or eight camera apps to no avail. Asus support then suggested that it was a problem in Android and said that I would just have to wait until there was a new version and hope that the problem was addressed.
As I bought my tablet primarily to record and edit video segments, I was not satisfied with this answer.
After an ungodly long search, I came across a site that stated that the IgCamera App was the only camera app to overcome this problem. While I don't know if it is the only app that works, the IgCamera does work and work well.
One minor note. As the combo jack only allows a mono input, I bought a mono cable extension to connect to my lavalier microphone. The only mono cable that I could find was a data transfer cable. Unfortunately, this cable created a major impedance problem: every recording had a loud buzz. I switched to a stereo cable which eliminated the problem. A wireless mic would be even better.
The real solution, of course, is for the manufacturers to provide a separate mic port, something that costs money so they probably won''t did it. A separate mic port would also provide the option of recording in stereo.

I have a couple of questions regarding the following:
- is the USB-C to 3.5 dongle included with the mate 10 pro include a dac?
- The BT Audio when used in the car does have lower sound than the Galaxy S8 which is my second phone plus the APTXHD found in the developer options doesnt work too.
any ideas?

I think its a dac, I just used it in my car and the sound is way stronger and different, I'm sticking to that instead of the BT Audio in the Huawei.
I doubt that the dongle holds the DAC but the SOC does. Or at least it's on the motherboard.
Did anyone try the huawei histen audio though?

It does make my Xiaomi earphones sounds better. I'm on Mate 10 though.

I doubt that the included dongle holds a DAC/Amp. Instead, I've been using my DragonFly Black (1.5) with a usb-c to usb-a otg cable, which delivers a much cleaner/wider/louder sound.
Regarding Bluetooth codec, AptX HD works great for me (using Aiaiai TMA-2 + H05), maybe your car BT receiver is not compatible?...
I tried both the dongle and the included USB Type-C headphone on my old Mate 9 Pro, and interestingly, the USB Type-C headphone worked perfectly while the dongle was not working at all.
Since Mate 9 Pro has a built-in 3.5mm AUX port, I don't think it supports USB analog audio pass thru. Therefore, I think the included headphone indeed has a DAC, but the dongle doesn't . If this is true, then Mate 10 Pro indeed has a DAC built in.
Hi, as mentioned in the title, I'm searching for a external microphone that will let me to record HiFi stereo sound.
Does anybody got experience with such topic?
Thanks
Is the reason being that the mic's on the device are not good enough? I believe they are among the best for phones, plus idk if you have the HD audio recorder app on your variant or model, but it does work amazingly well if you use the right settings (gain/levels). Been awhile since I read about the mic's but this phone uses more than 1 mic and they aren't junk, kinda what it was made for, idk if external mic would sound any better or not, especially w/o an expensive mic(s). But I initially bought an irig I/O audio interface that is compatible w/android for a mic or guitar with midi device and has that input and an output for recording, I got $400 worth of software included with the purchase (Amplitube 4 and more for free). BTW it is for sale and basically brand new if your interested, barely used replaced it with the 2i2) zBut for reference the irig i/o will do 24bit/96khz and the mic's and HD audio recorder on the phone will save Flac files up to 24bit/192khz. Or check out irig uo, was made for Android. I got my eye on the axe i/o which just came out for guitar recording, I wish they had these cheap modelers and Sims in the 90's, I think its awesome, I never had the money to buy the real equipment. Give some more info what your trying to do and maybe I could help more. Otherwise a usb audio interface on a PC is the way to go if you have one. Android is way behind Apple on compatible audio interfaces. I use the focusrite scarlet 2i2 that I use for my guitar with amplitube 4 amplifier Sims, it has 2 inputs for a mic and a instrument for recirding which is what (most) people use to make youtube videos. I could technically get it to work on my phone but not much to work with. Android needs to fix there audio latency issues, which is the reason companies don't bother making anything for it, getting more lately but it's not worth it imo, tons of stuff for Apple though but Ive never and will never buy an iPhone. Sorry some of that was off topic but hope I helped. Pm me if u want.

Yeah, the ear speaker turns into a 3rd microphone during high decibel environments (like concerts).
Hi.
Internal mics might be good but I need a professional microphone with a wind and noise protection and higher sensitivity, kinda the same they use on DSLRs.
I would like to use it for recording sound samples (nature, forest, etc)
Cheers
A good usb mic and a USB interface is all you need then. Make sure the interface is compatible with whatever your using. The irig i/o would work with Android or the other one I mentioned above. I'LL sell it cheap to you if your interested.

Thank you!
To connect a stereo microphone (or 2 mono microphones with a Y splitter) to your phone you need this adapter:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005K9WNPG
Since this has a USB A plug, you need an adapter cable to convert the plug to USB C. Something like this:
https://www.amazon.com/Thunderbolt-Compatible-Chromebook-Pixelbook-Microsoft/dp/B07KR45LJW
Then if you're using an app that can handle stereo recording you should be good to go.
Thank you in advance for any help on this.
So, I bought my mi8 lite in part for its good enough camera and the ability to make some videos.
My friends recommended my to buy a Boya B1-M1 lapel mic, and I did so.
When I plug this mic ( i need to use that damn usb c dongle that came with the phone ), nothing detects the external mic. I've tried the Open Camera and Cinema FV 5 App and set for external microphones and the problem persists.
On my older Huawei nova, the mic works, so that's not a mic problem.
I'm thinking that the problem is in the xiaomi usb-c dongle, more specifically in the way its jack is wired. I recently learned that there are two ways to wire a phone jack ( OMTP and CTIA ) and different companies might use one or the other. I really want to test this out with a cheap adapter but I don't have one ready and would prefer to see if somebody has had the same idea and if it worked.
Have you faced the same problem?
Thank you!
All the best,
João
Hi you all, I have been around google and the forum and couldn't find if there is some restriction on Android 9 or 10 for connecting an external microphone to the TRRS 35mm jack.
I know smartphones are TRRS and i have tested TRRS microphones, and also tested with a TRS microphone and TRS to TRRS adapter without not luck. Phones keep recording from their own mic, not the external.
Tested:
Huawei pot-lx1t (android 10)
Vernee X2 (android 9)
DOOGEE S40 (android 9)
None of this 3 phones worked, not with open camera app, default camera app, neither instagram/facebook.
The thing is that the same mics and adapters works fine in 2 old phones with android 6 and 4. (CUBOT Max and Samsung sm-g357fz)
I haven root any phone, do i need to or what am i missing?
I keep finding people talking about the same adapters/microphones that i already purchased several times, and still not luck.
Thanks in advance.
