Possible for phone mic to be used as PC mic? - General Topics

Well, we have Web Camera Plus which allows phone webcam to be a wireless webcam via WiFi at a much higher resolution of 320 x 240 compared to 176 x 144 using the phone camera recording software ( on my HTC Tornado )
Hence, its much clearer if I record some clips using PC via WiFi or BT ( through WebCameraPlus) but the drawback is that WebCameraPlus does not capture audio.
If only it can capture audio as well, it would be great, we can even use our phone as a complete web conferencing device for MSN Messenger or other IM without the need for a separate mic.
So is there any sofware that can do that?

I've been looking for the same thing but haven't found anything yet.

Turn your PqPC into a high quality microphone for your PC!!!

Hi people:
Somebody knows if this exists??
Something like this, but for our Pocket PCs

Cheers!
Wouldn't exactly call any microphone in a mobile a "high-quality recording device"...
But if you just want a wireless microphone, not exactly high quality, there's a software called webCameraPlus from AtekSoft, which changes your device into a webcam, with microphone support. Works by activesync connection - like cable, bluetooth, or web connection - like wifi. The problem is that this app might be a bit of an overkill if you want just a microphone And unfortunately, it's not free.

PC to make and receive voice calls

Hi All,
Is there a way to make and receive voice calls from PC with my Jade connected via USB and ActiveSync?
You bet. Google search "mymobiler", download+install it. If you're USB'd/ActiveSync'd it'll autoinstall to your phone/bring up the "where you want to install this crap" screen, pick device or storage card, and then use MyMobiler to control your phone with your keyboard and mouse on your PC monitor @ your phone's resolution. Meaning if you've got a QVGA phone, it's a small window. 480 x 800's small @ 1920 x 1200, but I guess it's a matter of perspective.
To actually talk you'll need some variety of wired headset, bluetooth, or speaker phone.

Is there a way to use the HDMI out as an AV in?

Hi fellas,
I fly FPV and I wanted to use my Infuse to record the AV footage by splitting the video cable which goes to my monitor to my hdmi chord/dongle for the infuse.
The AV equipment has low resolution 640x480 if I'm lucky.
Would this idea work? There is no audio as my transmitter does not have a mic but If I could use a screen capture software on my phone to record my flights that would be fantastic. Is this possible? To use the HDMI dongle as an AV in to stream live video on my phone (assuming there is an app) basically using my phone as a DVR.
Thanks for any helpful response.
no but it would be cool to use a transmitter as reciever.... I mean if a PC needs a dedicated video capture device rather than the monitor-out going both ways then why would a cell phone be likely to work like that? if USB hosting gets figured out in the kernel and a USB video capture device was used the sure but the mhl is a 1 way device as far as anyone knows.
you may as well get a laptop and usb video capture card then copy the file to the phone.
Guess the laptop is as good as any it's a shame though
The transmitter that I was talking about is the transmitter on the aircraft transmitting the image which is being viewed on a monitor
I destroyed my gopro in a crash so I was looking for alternate solutions without having to buy anything as I am dirt poor
thanks a lot for your input

Q: bluetooth headset for video recording.

Does anyone know of a way for the camera to record video and use the Bluetooth via headset for audio? Or any other cheap wireless mic solution that will work with on an android phone and doesn't require recording audio and video separately? Thanks

Yes. The camera app only records from the internal mic. I really need a wireless solution that allows me to have the microphone several meters away to record the sound. I could only find wired solutions and they were not even for android.
I think I've got it!
so, I've been trying to do this exact same thing for about a week now, and I think I've got it. with the help of some random people on the internet.
it seems this is actually a two part problem.
1) get the device to recognize the bluetooth microphone (from a headset or other bluetooth wireless device).
2) get the audio into a video recording.
it seems that android and an OS is not readily prepared to do either of these, and the built in video recorder cannot use audio from a source other than the devices built-in microphone.....so....we have to improvise a little.
First, we will need to get android to play nice with the bluetooth device. start by installing a free little app called "bt mono" you can find it on the google play store.
once installed you will need to run this any time you want to use your bluetooth device in a way other than as a phone.
on a side note, this works great for listening to music via a bluetooth headset.
second you will need a video recorder that can take the audio input that bt mono gives you. so, run back over to the google play store and get "lgCamera"
the only thing you have to do now is tell lgCamera that you want to use the "microphone" as the audio source.
thats it. you now have a video recorder on your phone/tablet that will use "almost" any bluetooth device as the audio input.
I have this exact set up on my Verizon Samsung Galaxy Nexus with CM 10.1.0 rooted, and it works perfectly. I am not sure if this works with unrooted devices, though I don't see why it wouldn't. hope this helps anyone who's been dredging the depths of the interwebs!
very special thanks to david hadaller and to Warren Barton for the breakdown and links!

Hi bud...
did you find any solution-for phone camera to record video and use the Bluetooth via headset for audio?
i looking for same too Sam.Note4 but no luck so far
Yes. lgCamera and BT Mono works on android. It properly records the video from the phone and the audio captured from my Nokia HS-3W Bluetooth Headset.
Tested with Sony Ericsson LT18i.
Cinema FV-5 has a setting for audio source, and BT works
The only problem - 'cinema fv-5' doesn't seem to utilize the front camera, only the main one.
(can't post the link, search on play store for 'cinema fv-5')
Hello. I kinda worked for 3 secs then it automatically switch back to internal mic.
I have level u headphone and note 5. Is is there anyway to make it stay?
is there any solution that we could hack the OS to make external Bluetooth Mic recognised by the native video camera app in the android phone? its so silly that if you try for example "Open Camera" app from play store the external mic works fine. But i am interested to use the native Camera app for video recordings
any thoughts or feedback will be much appreciated!!
Cinema FV-5 Front Camera
To utilize the front camera on Cinema FV-5 swipe from Left to Right.
If you swipe the left menu bar to the right it will switch to the front camera.
This is documented NO WHERE in the user manual. I found it when I purchased the Camera FV-5 app. On a pop-up instructional screen it said to swipe the left menu bar from left to right to engage the front camera. The photo camera version also has an icon on the right menu bar that switches the photo camera to the front camera but there is no icon nor instructions for the video camera.
It works. Cinema FV-5 works excellently with any bluetooth headset to record audio on video from the BT headset. Just make sure to have the BT headset connected before you open Cinema FV-5 or there may be connection issues to the app.
These are some of the videos that use audio from the BT headset around my neck.
The videos are on YouTube, just paste the ending part below at the end of YouTube.com i.e. /endingpart

An in-ear headset is actually clearer and I've just switched to that type of BT headset but I don't have any of those uploaded at the time of this posting..
UPDATE: Although the swipe left to right will switch to the front camera, the BT audio does not work with the front camera, only the rear camera. Perhaps Cinema FV-5 will fix this with a future update.
Hi guys, we could manage this function through the btmono app, up to version 8. Today, we are at 11 and the situation has not changed .. They say for safety but I cannot give up this solution and I remain at 8.
Do you guys who got this to work with BT Mono and lgCamera have a link to the playstore lgCamera app? I searched it but could not find it. Thanks!

I also do not find it on playstore. Probably it is outdated. I can only see it on apkpure https://m.apkpure.com/lgcamera/rubberbigpepper.lgCamera

Video recording app with Bluetooth microphone support or alternatives

Hi,
I need to record over some distance and in the field. Shouting into the phone is not preferable. I have a Samsung galaxy note 9 stock and galaxy buds (first version) and I was hoping to pair it with the note 9 but it did not work despite people saying it does. I found out that the camera app is is ver 10. It works with ver 11. I downloaded the apk but could not install it. Got this "there was a problem parsing the package". Maybe it is an android 11 and not 10.
Is there an app which I can use to record video and support bluetooth microphone over distance? I record in 4k. My setup is note 9, in phone companion mode to the pc and I stream the live to the monitor so that I can see the rear screen recording on the monitor. The monitor is also where my power point presentation is so that I know what I am talking about. Recording is limited to 5 min intervals at 4k 60fps. The phone runs hot and I have invested in a phone cooler too. If the phone is too hot, I cannot do recordings. After that, I need to remove the green screen in premier pro and use it premier rush where most of the editing is conducted. This is before taking into account reshoots. Looking at least 50 to 100 mins of teaching content output.
I have a spare S8, and wired microphone and thought of using that but I don't want wires mics or other devices getting in my way. I also want to spend as less time as possible editing the footage as I need to go through a lot of content and then put it all in the open learning platform. Also do more work there. All this in a month's time.
Thank you for the suggestions.
.
Searced a lot.Open camera has this option,but doesn't work Sometimes I managed it to work in combo with BT mono app.Till now only cinema fv-5 seems to work,but apps seems abandoned.If you found a solution please share.Forget fv-5.Videos are extremely giant for no reason.Just download lesser audio switch.It is abandoned,but somehow it works for me on A11 Just force route audio to BT before each video and you should be fine.
