[idea] Noise-cancelling in music playback. - Nexus One Themes and Apps

The N1 already uses its second mic to cancel background noise in calls. Would such a thing be possible with earphones plugged in and playing music, either using the mic in the body or in-line mics?
I'm not a fan of noise-cancellation in general, but I know it has its uses in certain situations, and it would be a cool functionality to have.
The Sony Walkman X1000 does something similar to what I'm describing, although I think it has a mic in each earphone as it's got a five-pin plug instead of the four of a normal mic headset.

[Q] Inspire 4g headset/microphone adapter?

I have an adapter with microphone that allows any headset to be used for calls and music control, with iPhone. Tried to use it with Inspire 4G and got no sound whatsoever (regular headphones work fine, but of course, no mic or music control then). Pictures of HTC headset with mic show similar 3 ring insert, but something must be slightly different. Has anyone successfully used a microphone headset specifically for Inspire 4G, and/or an adapter that will function with any set of headphones?
I have 1 with an inline mic.
However the sound quality when I plug it in is HORRIBLE compared to just headphones.
Dont know why.
Have tested this with 2 inline mics.
I'm using a Monster iBeats in ear set with my 4G. Sound quality is great for music, very good for phone.
My inline mic will pause music but the volume does not work for music.
For phone calls, I can mute, unmute and answer, but volume control does not work.
This set on my wifes iPhone the volume control works for both music and phone and also allows you to forward itunes tracks.
I just use the volume control on the side of the phone on the Inspire with this headset.

I do not notice any difference in sound quality whether I use the Mic or not.
I'm running Rooted Stock ROM with bloat removed.
There is an app called Headset Button Controller
Just installed it and I can adjust the volume, move forward and back in music tracks and also turn volume up and down with this app installed in media apps.
Interestingly it only uses the center button to do all this on a three button headset.
In phone mode center button ends call. So it does not change anything compared to not running it.
I'll run it and see how I like it, initial impressions are it fixes what doesn't work native with the headset in media mode.

Wow.
Im starting to wonder if there is something wrong with my phone now
I THINK what is happening is that when I connect my mic it switches from Stereo to Mono. Duno tho.

I have purchased this app and will say that it is great. I use the same headset that I use to use with my ipod but now I find it easier to use. I use my phone while riding the motorcycle and I feel like.I have greater control over the music now..only problem I am having is people can't hear me through the Mic on the headset. Any ideas. No it didn't work before I had the software.

[Q] Stereo sound using phone and media speaker?

We now know the G2X has only one media speaker, and I was a bit bothered watching videos and the sound comes from only one side. Maybe I am just expecting too much from a phone, but I was wondering if it was possible to make use of the speaker (the one you use for regular phone calls) to create a stereo effect to a listener directly in front of the phone.
I am aware this speaker can't output as high a volume as the media speaker on the bottom of the phone. Is it possible to have this speaker output at a volume such that the media speaker match it in a relatively similar volume so that the listener directly in front of the screen can hear stereo sound? That is if it is even possible to route the sound to output from both speakers at the same time.
If possible, maybe someone with the experiences can add this feature into a custom firmware?

Motorcycle Bluetooth Headset Mic

Just recently bought a Bluetooth Headset for my Motorcycle Helmet, I'm on ICS right now, SCV7. The problem I'm finding is that no matter which voice commands app I use (Vlingo, utter, Skyvi, Voice Search) I can't seem to get it to use the headset's mic to listen to me!
But whenever I take a call the microphone works just fine. When I go into the headset's bluetooth settings it is connected as both phone and media. I've tried both by themselves but didn't get a change. Phone calls work and music plays, but voice commands just don't.
Anyone have similar issues? Any ideas?
Would this be a hardware issue with the headset? Hardware with the phone? Or Software?
On a side note: Noticed that music effects have been really buggy with the headset.. MusicFX and DSPManager go crazy, make it sound worse than without them, like the speaker is about to explode from all the static. (Tried all Loudness levels, switching songs, and tried all equalizer settings but I can't pin it down, sometimes it'll be exploding ear-screeching sounds but when I open DSPManager it's as if it finally clicks and makes the equalizer work again.. goes away next song)

Can barely hear vocal track when using headphones

Very bizarre problem developed:
The lead vocal track when playing any audio is barely audible through headphones. The instrumentals sound fine, but then when the lead audio enters, it almost sounds as if it is eminating from a distant echo chamber. Background vocals sound louder. Doesn't seem to matter what the source or app is. I can listen to a podcast and the lecturer/speaker is also inaudible. The problem doesn't exist with BT streaming or when playing through the speaker. The headphones work fine in other hardware.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
is your plug plugged in correctly? maybe some dust got in your 3.5mm jack

Mono music and mono bluetooth speaker?

Hi,
when I connect to the Anker Soundcore Motion+ bluetooth speaker, only the voice is heard in the two right diaphragms. However, when connecting to Honor Play, they all play, so the speaker is good.
When im playing sounds on the phone, the upper speaker is inaudible, only the lower one plays. On the other hand, during a phone call, the top speaker is quieter than before, but I can hear the interlocutor. Is it supposed to be like that, music is only played from the bottom speaker?
Thanks in advance for your help.
