Is there anyway to record audio onto the phone using an external mic like this one?
http://www.allthingsdigital.com.au/images/Sony ECMCS10.jpg
It is a standard size jack that fits right into the phone. I figured that since our headsets have mics in them, there must be a way to record audio straight through.
Sorry if this has been answered before, I couldn't find it!
Looking for the same thing...
Hey Folks,
I've been looking for the same thing.
I have a HTC Sensation coming in the mail today as a replacement to my Atrix 4G that is showing it wear.
What I do is vlogging on my motorcycle but I've been having a real issue with my audio setup. I just purchased an external Microphone:
ATR-3350-Omnidirectional-Condenser-Microphone (ON AMAZON)
Now what I want to do is record on the android using the above listed Microphone. Does anyone know if I need a 3.5MM TRRS adapter or other kind of conversion adapter?
Thanks,
NewF

Has anyone gotten a USB Cradle with Audio yet? Expansys seems to have them on pre-order, but it looks like the above site is selling them.
I bet this would work nicely in the car since it presumably has a 3.5mm audio jack in the back and a microphone on the front (that works?!)
Combined with a bluetooth GPS and MS Voice Command, this should be all set!
Hi,
The sound in the headset that comes with the Trinity is quite bad and I really want to get a better one. Does anyone know if there is anyone making good headsets (prefferrably in-ear earbuds) or alternatively a plug converter such that I can use my normal headset with the usb plug on the trinity.
This should be the nice solution for you : http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=142091&asource=HTC _P3600
(i'm getting one too, cause the BT stereo isn't that great at all...)
HTC Stereo Converter
Check this one:
11pins to 3.5mm Stereo Head Jack Converter for HTC devices.
http://shop.brando.com.hk/htcstereoconverter.php
Or you could check this site out. I ordered mine already and it's on the way.
http://www.doml.com/productdec.asp?pid=2698&model=d_d810&modeln=P3600
I ordered from brando a couple of days ago. Wanted a silicone cover too, but he did not have those yet.
sweet thanks for the links!
the mini usb to 3.5mm converter just have a problem doesn't support microphone function...
need to remove every time you receive a call...
Any other solution... like a normal headset with microphone and a mini usb?
the oem headset's sound quality is really bad, but i recognized that you can turn music much louder than older devices like my old wallaby
on expansys search for ORA usb to jack converter. there's a version that has a microphone.
Solution
This will solve the problem for me!

Wouwwwww!!!!!
What incredible sound, what incredible bass!
Expensive, but it's worth it.
does anybody tried this
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=139893
with FM,RDS and 3.5mm
I personally picked this up
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...MEWA:IT&viewitem=&item=140107857073&rd=1&rd=1
I don't know if it's going to work or not, I'll post and let everybody know when I recieve it. The reason I opted for a 2.5mm headset is because I have like 3 of them lying around because my old phone used a 2.5mm and I didn't want them to go to waste.. if it doesn't work or if the sound quailty sucks I'll give a motorola mini usb headset a try.

I can tell ya ahead of time that this will not work. The moto pinouts are different from the HTC proprietary pinouts. You need to get one made for HTC phones.

Hmm in that case, do you know of any headsets for the Trinity that is a single earpiece headset and not the double it comes with?
open stock headset

why not just cut off the unwanted earpiece....
anyone managed to open the mic box on the stock headset? does it just have snap locks or is glued? I would break it open, but the operative word would probably be Break. I was considering just changing the ear phones over to some expensive ones to improve sound quality without losing the mic and usb connection.
Speedn
edit: no glue, just snap locks. Push in on the walls of the mic box on the large bit, (the bit with the button in it). slide ya fingernail into the gap an prise the top small piece off. Caution the small top piece has small pins in it so pull it straight up and not to the side.
remove old earpieces and solder new ones on, its even got L- L+ R- R+ labelled for ya.
I havent actually progressed to the attaching of new phones yet, will pick some up over the weekend mebbe.
Enjoy
Quick question - from the videos I've seen, there is a headphone socket, but no microphone one.
Does that mean this doesn't support an external microphone, or do you have to get a mobile phone style one, with a third "band" on the jack itself?
I'm thinking of using it for Skype, mainly, but I'm sure other people will think of far more useful things to do with one
It can take the 3 band type that you mention. Stereo headset +mic combo jack.
I believe it is a microphone/headphone audio jack. So it supports the 3.5mm 3 band headphones you're talking about for mobile phones.
Nice and easy. Thanks!
Can anyone with the phone comment on the sound quality of the Sensation? Also, is the volume as low through headphones as most previous HTC phones?
I use PowerAmp with pair of senhiser, sound loud and quality is awesome.
using a good set of headphones, the sound is really good!, like Hassan said, sound quality is very good and you can change the settings to how you like it.
Without headphones in its acceptable... not great, not terrible, but acceptable

Nice to know that I won't be wasting a pair of Westone 4s by playing my media on the Sensation.
But if you replace the original headphones of HTC, you then cant use it as a hands free speaker right? so would a person have to carry 2 sets of headphones? one for music and one if he wants to talk to someone using the hands free speaker?
Yes i think thats a downside of using own headset.

While I am still waiting for my Sensation, if this handset works the same as previous HTC phones (and there is all indication that it does), any iPhone compatible headset should work just fine.
I've been using the Creative EP-630i (http://www.amazon.co.uk/Creative-EP...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1306766090&sr=8-1) with my HTC Nexus One and Samsung Galaxy S2. The clicker as well as the microphone work as expected. The clicker accepts or ends (long press) calls and performs special functions (like play/pause) in applications that support headset buttons (like the music player, BeyondPod, doubleTwist, ...). The in-line microphone on these earbuds is perfect for calling.
As I wrote previously, any other iPhone-headsets should perform well with this phone (and, as a matter of fact, most other Android phones). The Galaxy S (not 2!) is a popular exception as Samsung used a proprietary connector they have now deprecated with the S2.

You can also buy adapters that add a mic and button control to regular headphones.
Example:

Here's a thought - I've never had any Android phone before so I'm not sure whether this is possible, but on my N96 I can use regular phones as hands free while using the device's mic. That's also how I plug it into my car - I have an auxiliary 3.5 input that I simply connect my phone to and it works seamlessly.
Would this work on the Sensation as well?

this has worked for me on my hd2... so i assume it will work on sensation too
Guys,
please, leave alone headphones What is the sound quality of loudspeaker and speakerphone? Older HTC android devices were so poor in this department - is sensation any different in sound quality?
Loudspeaker is 'ok', moved on slightly from Desire HD but nothing more.
However it is nice to see that equalizer options are finally available via bluetooth, including SRS. Sounds great with a good pair of bluetooth headphones
Soundquality is good, and the audible volume is the same as the desire hd. the bass is a little less (tested the same audio track & headphone). The higher frequencies are a bit richer (this is great is you like to listen to ye olde cbm64 SID sounds on droidplayer .
Hello Everybody
Just got my T-Mobile G2X off eBay yesterday.
Fortunately the mobile phone appears to not have any software related issues.
I heard that, T-Mobile G2X has stereo speakers.
One of the rare feature not present in most of the mobile phones these days.
But, as of my thorough inspection, sound is coming from only one speaker.
Not from both, Is there any equalizer to change the speaker configuration ?
Or, would it be a hardware problem ?
Please suggest, i really wanted to hear sound from both of the speakers.
It doesnt have stereo speakers unfortunately. One speaker and the other is a microphone.

I read in the following reviews that the Mobile phone to have stereo speakers.

Are you sure ??
Those were stupid reviewers who assumed they were two speakers when they saw two grills. One is a speaker and the other is the microphone. One speaker, no stereo unless you use a headset or audio output into a speaker, etc.
