Is it possible to connect an external "pro" microphone to an android device? (with a normal stereo jack).
In my particular case it's a Samsung Galaxy S (I9000).
I need to record some stuff in good quality and I was wondering if I could do it just with my android device instead of bringing my laptop.
As expected, simply connecting a mic to the device doesn't work , but I was wondering if there's any software solution or if it would be possible to be made?

I have the following question - the headsets of all modern phones, especially
the smartphones have a standard 3.5mm jack, so you could use any 3.5mm
headphones in order to hear something. But what about remote control buttons?
Will for example the buttons on a SonyEricsson headset, connected to an
HTC phone work?
I think, if it is implemented on a firmware level, it won't work, but if intercepting
the button signals is implemented in the player(s) itself, then perhaps even the
remote control buttons should work on other phones, if supported by the
player.
And what about normal headphones ? Are they usable for phone calls ?
Can you just listen to the other party through the headphones and your
voice would be transmitted by the standard microphone of the phone ?

From my experience, microphone + headphones work from every device if they have a 3.5mm jack.
Control buttons usually don't work from a device to another, because their signals are hardware specific.
Normal headphones are usable off course only to hear stuff from your phone.
In call, your built-in microphone will be used.
If I am wrong, someone please correct me.
Thanks, you helped me a lot
I'm on a search for a Bluetooth headset/dongle that lets you bypass the built-in microphone and use the mic in a higher end set of headphones. I heard a rumor this might be possible in the Nokia BH-111. Can anyone confirm this? Or know of a similar, small bluetooth adapter that lets you use the external microphone?
edit, n/m I found what I was looking for in this thread:

hi
i connected my nexus to my car stereo aux jack via Bluetooth device that have no microphone .
now when i make a call the other person cant hear me because the phone is trying to use the Bluetooth microphone which it does not have.
is there a way to force the phone to use the internal phone mic for audio input while the output will still be trough the Bluetooth device ?
thank you
I was wondering if and how to use a Bluetooth speaker with mic a two way intercom (speaker and phone as each end)? I want to be able to listen in another room and be able to talk through the device also. Ideas? I currently have a small portable speaker with mic that I can stream audio from the phone to.
Hi all.
So I want to have audio output to both, simultaneously, to a remote Bluetooth-receiver (which is on the other side of my bedroom's wall) and to a stereo 3.5mm connection next to my phone.
Right now, I can have audio to one, but not both (Bluetooh, OR, 3.5mm).
After much searching, I am 50% happy using the app Turbo Alarm because it can play audio simultanously to my Bluetooth receiver and the phone's loud Speaker, but NOT to the phone's 3.5mm plug (silent).
Any thing you know that can do the trick ?
Thank you all.

The hardware in your device is designed to only output audio one way or the other, not two or three. It's a limitation built into the hardware, you aren't gonna change it.
There is, however, a solution to your problem, it involves external hardware.
You will need a 3.5mm Y cable and a Bluetooth audio transmitter, plug the cable in your 3.5mm audio jack, connect whatever device you were gonna run via audio jack to one side of the Y cable, connect the Bluetooth audio transmitter to the other side of the Y cable.
This will allow playing audio to both but it won't allow them to listen to different media, they will hear both receive the same audio.
If you want the listening devices to be able to play different audio independently, then you'll have to consider other hardware such as wireless flash drive, it can stream audio to up to 8 devices and stream video to 3 devices, each of them watching or listening to different things independently of each other.
