[Q] Manually enable/disable internal mic with headphones plugged in? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

This is a rather common question, but the resolution always seems to be 'get a new cable'
I have a headset, which DOES have a microphone, but the mic on it is broken. Instead of going out and buying a new headset, is there any software anyone has seen to take manual control of which mic is enabled when a headset is plugged in?
I have tasker, but it seems there's only an option for "Microphone Mute", which doesn't differentiate between the headset and the internal.

Ask NSA....because i search that in entire internet and i do not find anything about to disable-enable the internal microphone on an android phone....

[REQ] use internal mic when headset plugged in.

Is there anything available that will force my HD2 to use the internal mic while a headset is plugged into the 3.5mm socket?
I often use my HD2 to listen to music in my car using a 3.5mm jack to jack cable into the aux in port just near my handbrake which works a charm.
When I get a call the music is interrupted and if I answer it I can hear the caller through my car speakers however they can't hear me as the phone is in headset mode and is expecting a mic to be plugged in.
I don't think it's a simple case of re-routing which mic is used as while that may technically work the caller would be able to hear themselves delayed through my cars sound system. I need the phone to send the mic into speaker mode so it has a detection system that stops the caller hearing themselves but send the output through the headset socket.
I hope that makes sense?
seems strange that it does not working .. i use this way to listen music & gps instructions and it is working ok, with the phone's microphone.. try i different 3.5mm jack (stereo) .. or you have a cooked rom ?
I just tried a different cable and it's working! strange for some reason the HD2 must have thought my cable was headset?
Thanks!
yeah it dosnt work cuz if u look @ the original headset it has 3 lines which meant 2 for the stereo ear pice and 1 for the mic, i have the same prob i dnt like the origenal headset so i use mine which means i have to unplug it every time i get a call, but i think the only way to use good headset with mic is to buy the iphone headset, its the same priciple with a better sound quality of the headset
If your jack has only 3 contacts, the phone can sense there's no 4th one, so there's no mic, and uses the internal mic. If your cable has 4 contacts, it will try to use external mic even if there's actually none.
oooo yeah u r right, lol, jst tried it it work
thnx man
wow, i was just asking myself the same question. i have a pair of sennheiser earphones(without mic), when i take an incoming call the other side cannot hear me most of times. but, sometimes the internal microphone is activated and i can speak using my earphones. this seems a quite random problem, i don't understand. even with skype, sometime i can use earphones, some other time i'm forced to unplug using the loudspeaker...boh...
i want my phone mic since my built in carstero mic is to far away
On a similar note, is it possible to have the internal speaker announce GPS instructions while I'm playing music via Bluetooth?

[RESOLVED] Bluetooth headset dongle that lets you use external microphone?

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:

[Q] How to disable internal speakers when connected to Bluetooth device?

When connected to a bluetooth device in car mode, I'd like to force all audio to the car bluetooth speakers and mute the internal speakers. Problem is, I don't see a mechanism to mute the internal speakers while not affecting the bluetooth volume in either Llama or Tasker. Does anyone know how this could be done or a Tasker/Locale plugin that has this functionality?

[Q] A bluetooth work-around needed?

Hello everyone,
I have a specific problem with a bluetooth device and with my limited knowledge I haven't worked out how to fix it, so I am asking for your help. I will explain it best I can...
I have a third-party bluetooth stereo in my car that has a built in mic for voice calls. However, the microphone is of terrible quality and as it's in the stereo unit it's quite far from me when I'm driving meaning it is almost useless to use for voice calls. Because of this I purchased a seperate good quality bluetooth speaker/mic that fits on to the car's sun visor. The problem I have is when I get in to my car my phone connects to the stereo only and not the small speaker. I want my phone to connect to the stereo via b/t so I can play my music through it, which is great, but not for voice calls. I see in the b/t options on my phone (HTC One) that you can check/uncheck boxes for the type of connections, in this case 'Phone Audio' and 'Media Audio'. If I just have the Media Audio setting checked, the phone fails to connect to the stereo at all, not even for music, so in order for it to automatically connect to the stereo I need the Phone Audio option enabled too, causing it to then not connect to the seperate device, thus diverting all calls through the stereo, which is really inconvenient. There are no options within the stereo that isolates these individual settings.
Are there any apps or methods you can advise me on that will allow my phone to connect to the stereo automatically but with voice disabled? I have looked in to Tasker but I am not skilled enough to work out how to set it up, so if this is the best option can somebody talk me through this please?
I appreciate the help on this, and I hope I've explained it adequately.
Simon
