Hi there,
I've got a simple problem to solve: When in my car, I have my Raphael plugged to the car stereo with a cheap ExtUSB Adapter. The phone recognizes the adapter as a Headset, but I don't have a microphone attached.
When someone calls, I want to use the headset Audio but with the handset microphone.
Is there any easy solution for this? Putting the phone to speaker mode works sometimes, but the phones speaker isn't loud enough for most situations.
thx, h3po

another situation, same problem:
I just bought a cradle for my Raphael which happens to have a built in microphone and a line-out jack, which I do not plan to use. But when I plugin my handset, it goes to headset mode and I cannot hear the ringtone when the phone rings.
I can't believe there's no way to choose the speaker output =/
Googling a bit about this, seem to be a very common problem in android devices, not only our port to mini.
Based on the suggestions and comments found in a thread on community.sprint.com, while listening to an mp3, I partially removed and re-inserted the plug but only till the middle of the jack 3,5'' hole. The audio seem to be stereo. The icon in the status bar shows headphones when it's in mono and a headset when it's stereo, but it's very hard to stay with the headset icon
According to someone in the thread, it's apparently due to "impedance" which in non-tech speak means there is circuitry in the phone that is checking to see if you have a headset or headphones plugged in and it's changing the output based on that.
I get full stereo with my original HTC headphones with phone mic!
The problem only happens on audio-only headphones.
This is related with my previous test plugging only the half of the connector.
Look at the two 3,5'' jack: Probably Android is getting the sound from the two rings closer to the wire.
- The HTC headset have three rings, probably use the iner two for both audio channels and outer one for the mic
- Another standard headphones only take the audio from one channel and sound mono
Could be possible to change the source of the channels to the two outer rings?
Toggleheadset is an aplication to change headphones to headset mode. It should solve the problem, but unfortunately doesn't seem to work with froyo
I donwnloaded from the market (toggleheadset2), installed but swithching it of/off don't change anything

I'm not 100% sure, but installing this widget seem to solve the problem. The switch on/off don't work but I have stereo now
I installed toogle headset and i think doesn't resolve the problem.
Looks like we have stereo in android only when android detect headset with mic. In other case , we have mono.
Tested with:
Sansung original headset with micro: android detect the micro and i have stereo.
HTC original with micro: android detect the micro and i have stereo.
3 headset without micro : I have mono but if i introduce the headset slowly and android thinks i have micro (The icon change) the sound change to stereo.
Regards

The icon is a headset
RADIO FM Works
To ear FM radio:
Go to WM
Conect your headset ( I tested it with 2 headset with micro: Original HTC and sansung)
Start fm radio in WM
With FM radio on , run haret
Start radio fm in android.
You can heart the FM radio without 5 seconds sound problem.
I think is the same problem as the stereo sound and mayby the fix will be the same.
Regards.
Hi All,
I was wondering if the below scenario is possible with any android phone.
- Plug a 3.5mm splitter into the audio jack (two female ends)
- Plug a speaker system (headphones, whatever) into one split port
- Plug a microphone into the other split port
Would the phone play audio (music, etc) through the headphones normally? If someone were to call, would the voice on the other end play through the headphones and the microphone work for me to talk to them through?
Thanks!
EDIT: Since the response has been overwhelming I went and tried the method above. Works perfectly. Thanks to... me *self high five*.
Hi,
I have the following question, most (maybe all) smartphones have a 3.5mm audio jack which also allows headphones with a mic (included with some phones) since it has TRRS.
What i want is a way to connect a normal mic which is TRS (i has have a TRS->TRRS adapter) to that 3.5 audio jack in order to increase the mic volume in my phone, one main reason is when my phone is connected via bluetooth to some speakers like in the car, it will automatically decrease the mic volume.
Any suggestions?
Anyone?
This is really annoying as bluetooth lowers mic volume to almost noting...
I have discovered that mixer_paths.xml file might help in boosting the mic on bluetooth and that it also might a cyanogenmod bug...
Is anyone familiar with the values in this file and what they mean?
I have an Xperia Z5 E6653 phone and it started to behave strange during calls in hands free mode.
1) If I switch on the speaker during a call the other party can't hear me but I can hear the other party on the speaker.
2) If I plug in the headset during a call then the phone doesn't recognize it, i.e. I can't hear anything in the headset and the headset mic doesn't work (but the phone main mic works).
In a normal mode (without speaker or headset) the microphone is working and I can also hear the other party. However hands free mode (speaker mode or headset plugged in) I have the above mentioned problem.
What could be the problem?
The solution is to reattach the headphone jack connector to the motherboard as it was released.
