General :: External Microphone In Headset Jack?

Jul 26, 2013

There are some external stereo microphones for IOS that plug into the headphone jack rather than the dock connector. For instance, the IK Multimedia iRig MIC Cast.

They claim that they work on Android as well.

Well, they may work, but do they provide better sound quality than the internal phone microphone, turning it into a decent digital recorder for music, for example? (with the right software, of course).

My question isn't really whether those microphones are better quality than the internal microphones, as I assume they are. But does the headphone jack on Android phones (mine is the Galaxy S4) really provide the input capability for better quality sound, including in stereo?

Of course that jack can transfer sound in both directions, headset and microphone, as it is a phone. For output, the phone provides quality stereo music output to headphones, as modern phones are also music players. However, the microphones on phone stereo headsets are generally low quality monaural microphones only suitable for phone calls, usually not better than the internal microphone, might be worse.

So the question is--is the input function of that jack capable of providing quality stereo input, if one has a quality stereo microphone attached? (No matter how good quality the microphone is, if that jack really cannot transmit that quality sound, but reduces it to a very low resolution and frequency-reduced monaural sound, no point at all in attaching such a microphone.

input capabilities of the headphone jacks on Android phones. (If it varies from phone to phone, then how about mine, the Galaxy S4?)

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 :: Camera Recording Sound Levels / External Microphone

Oct 23, 2010

Is there any way to control and adjust the sound level when recording video? I recently took a video at a concert and the sound is clipping really bad. I also tried to connect various external microphones to the phone but then I only get statics / clicking noises.

Is it possible to connect an external microphone to the phone? (except for the one from the hands free set). Especially with the coming HD video recording feature for the X10 the sound quality really doesn't measure up to the video quality.

General :: Microphone Pops Up Instead Of Keyboard

Oct 2, 2013

I have a android 4.0 tablet. A friend did something and now when I expect the keyboard to pop up, it wants me to speak. Holy Star Trek, cap'n. Maybe I should ask how to build transparent aluminum for my little fishies. I can't find any way to get this keyboard back. Did a Factory data reset, same thing.

General :: Code To Force Microphone On?

Jul 28, 2012

Is there a way in code to force the device microphone on when it's been disabled by plugging in headphones? I want to be able to record audio from the devices microphone and also playback audio through the headset. Unfortunately many devices disable the microphone when something is plugged into the devices headphone jack.

I tried using the AudioManager.setMicrophoneMute(false) but that didn't work.

General :: Change Microphone / Speaker Level In JB?

Feb 25, 2013

First problem is , Video recording has much noise , I think its due to high microphone sensivity. Is there any way to calibrate o change its level?

Second problem is , Speker volume in Jelly bean is too low and it causes some problem for ringign and allarm. is there any way to change its level?

I read in some threads that there are some CSV files located at /system/etc that we can change microhpone and speaker level. but I cant find in JB.and another configuration file named asound.conf that we can specify sound level in dB , but i'm afraid that it cause high voltage , and high current subsequently and cause speaker be corrupted..

General :: Pantech Burst Low Microphone Volume In Calls?

Jun 25, 2013

Is there a way to increase the clarity and volume of voice during calls?

Pantech Burst with stock firmware ICS. Will installing CM10 fix it?

Using a MP3 voice recording app, it isn't bad. But during calls, the voice that's transferred over is terrible quality, static-y, and half the volume of a normal phone recording.

General :: Lenovo P770 Microphone Stopped Working

Nov 13, 2013

I have smartphone Lenovo P770 with Android 4.1 in it. It runs on official chinese ROM remade by Etotalk.com.Everything was working fine, but few days ago, internal memory was full, so I moved some downloaded apps (games) from internal storage to SD card.The day after this microphone got somehow broken - when I call someone, they can't hear me (they actually do, but very very poorly(= very quietly)). When I switch to handsfree, they hear me OK. Also, I'm using Bluetooth headset very often and people can hear me good. Only when I call normally, people can't hear anything.

This is weird, because all moved apps were downloaded, none was built-in. Also, when I record a video, sound is without a problem.

I tried cleaning the microphone turning volume of microphone up/down moving all apps back to internal storage factory reset none of this worked.

General :: BT Headset Microphone Input (Tasker And Autovoice)

Jun 11, 2013

I got a pair of LG HBS-730 to input voice commands to my SG-N7100, but it doesn't seem to work. I'm on a stock CM10.1 and grab the input from Autovoice (a nifty Tasker plugin).

Depending on whether I activate Phone, Media or both in the Bluetooth settings of the headset, the input is either solely grabbed from the phone's microphone or is ignored.

I tried BTMono, BT Launch and a few other apps, but it seems to be Android related. [URL] ....

I also tried disabling/renaming VoiceDialer.apk, but it only works with the headset button presses not with the microphone issue.

I'll try anything at this point (including dabbling with Java and Android Intents).

General :: Voice To SMS Apps Not Using Hand Free Microphone

Nov 23, 2013

I've tested two Voice to SMS Apps (Text By Voice, and Voice Text). The latter uses Google Voice Search for speech recognition. When I have a hands free bluetooth kit in my car connected, both apps listen through the microphone in the phone, not the hands free mic. This leads me to believe this may be an O/S limitation with Android 4.1.1 (I'm running on a Samsung S3). Can confirm that only the Phone app can use the hands free mic. Otherwise, it seems very odd/coincidental BOTH of these apps fail to use the hands free mic like the Phone app does.

General :: Motorola Atrix - Microphone Stops Recording When Screen Times Out

Mar 31, 2012

I'm writing an app part of whose functionality is to record audio through the microphone. The recording seems to stop as soon as the screen times out and the phone enters what I think is sleep mode. I've noticed that some apps(Tokasiki's Voice Recorder, for one) don't seem to have this problem on this phone(Motorola Atrix) and continue to record audio long after the screen has faded to black. I've tried using a partial wake lock but it doesn't seem to maintain the recording. Should I use AudioRecord instead of MediaRecorder? Voice Recorder seems to get by without using AudioRecord.

General :: External Infrared Camera For Android

Dec 9, 2012

I want to be able to attach specialty cameras to my android product such as infrared, thermal, and microscope. Preferably by USB given that it covers the broadest range of cameras. However for the purposes of this discussion any webcam will do. I know there are several apps that allow for streaming DSLR camera control via USB or wifi. I consider wifi to be unacceptable due to it requiring the network infrastructure. My question is really what is needed to get a webcam to be powered by the phone or tablet and streaming video?

Not that it relates but I use a rooted Droid 3

I really want to use my camera in concert with an infrared light and infrared camera to have a high quality portable night vision. I am fairly certain that this is possible.

General :: Why Don't Android ICS Apps Detect External SD Card

Nov 30, 2012

I am new to android and I got myself a Micromax A110 running on android ics with 2 gb of internal SD card memory the internal memory just isn't enough for installing heavy games and storing and downloading large videos and music, so I added a 32 gb external micro SD card.. the card shows in my file manager and its contents are accessible, most apps like ttpod, ttorrent, vlc, chrome etc don't detect my external card. They only access the contents of my internal SD card, download to it.. I can't set the default directory to the external card...

When I installed nfs most wanted to my phone, it asked me to free up data in my SD card or insert another one as there was no space left due to obvious reasons of my internal SD card being filled with other apps.. I uninstalled and reinstalled it after setting the default storage location to the external storage... I found that the game installed in the internal storage this time and on startup, it gave the same message..

Is it a common problem or a limitation to the OS? Does my phone needs to be rooted for the purpose?

Android :: Microphone Sample Rates

Dec 23, 2009

My audio analysis application needs a microphone sample rate of greater than 8000 Hz.At least 11025 Hz is required.It seems that some phones support a higher rate and some are limited to 8000 Hz.Does anyone know what percentage of Android phones will support the higher sample rate?And if I do develop this app, how can a potential customer determine whether or not his particular phone supports the higher sampling rate?
