Please help?? Using the TP mic when usb to 3.5mm adapter is plugged in?

I've searched, but can not find an answer to this.
I have one of those little adapters that lets me plug any 3.5mm earplugs into the Touch Pros USB port. There is no mic on the adapter, so when its plugged in, I can not make phonecalls. I was wondering if there is a way to use the built in mic of the TP while the adapter is plugged in?
Thank you

Any ideas? I hope what im asking makes sense?

I´m also wondering

Sorry to keep asking , but id really like to be able to use voice command and make phonecalls while the usb port is in use with the 3.5mm converter.
There is no way to force the TouchPro to use its own mic even when it thinks a headset is plugged in?

No. Buy a stereo headset with mic.
Or if you own a $6xx 3.5mm headphones then buy another USB converter with mic (see pictures below)

I searched eBay for a solution like what you are showing there, since i had a feeling it is what I'd need. I could not find it though. So i came here to ask. Its not that i have expensive headphones, its that i attach an FM transmitter to the 3.5mm port, while driving, and want to be able to still make phone calls and use Voice Command.
I would buy the USB converter with MIC that you pictures if i can find it.
Thanks
EDIT: noticed the picture was from expansys. Found the product, but its 15 euro. A lot more than the 3 euro i payed for 2 of the mic-less ones. Its annoying that i cant turn the TPs mic on for free

Well, here you go, dude.

I saw you edited your post above. Yes, Seidio and Expansys are normally over-priced their stuffs. The worst here is both of them jump in bed together.

Thanks, the only place i can get it seems expansys.ie. The other two are American shops. (Im in ireland ).
I guess i will have to go for the cable. Still, out of curiosity, there is no way to force Windows Mobile or the TouchPro, or whatever is responsible, to not reroute the mic? It HAS to route both the mic and sound once the 'headset' is plugged in? There is no override somehow? Even if its a hack.

Forcing USB audio ouput - possible?

Is it possible? I bought this mini USB to 3.5mm adapter and the description said it was suitable for the S710. Actually, it isn't. So I'd like to know wheter it's possible to force the phone to use the USB-output instead of the speaker.
The phone doesn't detect the headset.
Thanks in advance. I tried to find it on the internet, but that didn't work out. My excuse if I missed something.

I am not actually expert with that but I think, one of audio part's pin is not connected properly, or some part of electronics is missing. I am suspecting pin 9 marked as S - look at ExtUSB pinout).

I was just about to buy one of those adapters, but now I'm hesitant. Is this a common problem with the s710?

Indeed. I also purchased this one today. It seems to have a slightly bigger connector. It's only 2 dollars so the price isn't an issue, but I just want to have it work.

The description should say extUSB to Audio (if it's not extUSB it might not work).
Look if the pins of your phone are dirty or something.
And no, with an extUSB to audio converter this doesn't happen (so not a common problem)!

I don't know, I only got the cable without any description.

This was the one. The default headset works fine.

Look at the USB part if you have 6 little pins in it. If you don't, you haven't ExtUSB converter.

Hi 3lmo,
...the one in your post looks like a normal USB connector. There the 5 pins of the USB are used to transport also the Audio (i.e. audio and USB/charge are not possible at the same time). This is used for some devices like Motorola Razor V3 or differently for BenQ E72.
The ExtUSB from HTC has added to the 5 pins of the USB another 6 on the other side of the plug insert. The original 5 pins are used only for USB purposes - not for Audio which uses the other 6 pins. There is info in the net about the details somewhere. Just take care that you get the extUSB type. The second one you got should work (I have the same from the same vendor).

[Q] External Mic for Note 10.1?

I've got a fairly good USB mic I've used with a Windows tablet to record lectures within OneNote. Great pick-up and sound quality.
Does anyone know if the N10.1 will support a USB mic through the USB adapter?
If not, any other options for an external mic?

You can connect a mic through the 3.5mm headset connector. Get a 3.5mm splitter to break out to separate mic and headphone connectors.

Thanks.
So, is that a 3 band 3.5mm connector? Or, standard stereo?

You need a 4-band to 2x3-band that splits the mic and headphones to separate sockets. If you take a look at the headset that comes with the Note, it is a combined mic and headphone (it is identical to the one that was supplied with my Galaxy S3).

Hmmm, I bought my N10.1 at Costco and it did not come with a headset. Bummer.
But, thanks for the info. That will help.

The irig cast microphone is available for Android. You can download the app for free. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ikmultimediaus.android.irigrecorder

It looks like some progress might be made on the USB front. http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=363102

Car head unit as Galaxy S4 docking station

Hi,
If you know a bit of hardware you will find this usefull. The idea for the dock started quite simple: control the phone from the steering wheel using the USB port. Once that was ready the maker in me said:
"Hm, that is good but how cool would be to also charge the phone ... yeah USB Host and Charging does not work together but there have to be a way ..."
and once that was done again:
"Nah, it is crappy to put one cable for USB and another in the headphone jack for audio ... how cool it would be to channel the audio through USB also?"
And here it is how it all ended up (+lots of info how it works and how to build your own):

Too complicated for me, but what USB DAC are you using?

I believe it is plantronics brand, do not know the exact details ...it came broken in half (literally)
anyway - any usb dac will do (USB DAC == USB Soundcard) just check with OTG cable that you phone will recognize it and play musing throught it.

Cool stuff. Like mentioned before .. A bit too much for me to take on as I don't have enough free time to set up. If you got yourself into making and selling these then I think you'd be on to a winner. Thanks anyway.

If you are willing to:
* loose the ability to control the phone from the steering wheel
* loosing your cigarette lighter socket (a car charger should in there)
* have another cable hanging around for the car AUX
you may take a look at theiBolt docks - they can also charge the phone plus emit sound using the USB port (you do not have to connect another cable in the headphones output)

Cheers dude will look into it. Having steering wheel controls would be sweet though.

Question USB-C to HDMI doesn't work – blank screen….

Hello, why do 2 different USB-C-to-HDMI cables NOT deliver any signal to the beamer? I used 2 brandnew cables (from Anker resp. Warrky), but the screen remains blank, as if nothing had been connected. On the other hand, this Full-HD-Beamer easily shows signals from sat-receiver (HDMI to HDMI), DSLR (USB-A to HDMI) and laptop (display port to HDMI).
Connecting the Pixel 7 Pro via USB-C-to-HDMI directly to the beamer (not to a HDMI multi-plug), I see these messages on the Pixel 7 Pro, that don't seem as expected (re-translated to English by me):
- attached device charged via USB (while the cable description says, "no charging possible")
- device controlling the USB connection: Connected Device (meaning the beamer obviously)
There is no change possible, for instance it's not possible to set "This Device" (the Pixel 7 Pro) as controlling device. Also the use for the USB connection (like file transfer, USB tether etc.) can't be changed at all. It is all grayed out and fixed to "PTP" (picture transfer protocol), which seems not to make sense?
According to data sheets, the Pixel 7 Pro has USB-C 3.2 Gen. 2 – and according to the cables' descriptions, with this the signal should go from mobile to beamer.
Do you have any idea? Are there other devices, perhaps even wireless? Thanks!
PS. I mainly would view mobile photos and Youtube videos. Audio would be transferred on a separate Bluetooth connection.

The phone doesn't support it. You can only use a displaylink device and it's a ****ty experience.
The pixel 8 will include displayport and should support HDMI adapters.

You could use a Chromecast for that, and they are inexpensive. I think you would need to send audio from your projector (I think that's what you mean by "beamer") though.

I was disappointed a phone in this price point didn't include MHL.
I use an hdmi adapter bought from best buy called ( J Create Adapter). App on playstore.
Best $29 adapter with unnoticeable latency..

Hi all, thanks for clarifying info, photos + screens!
It's disappointing indeed that you can't use a simple USB-C to HDMI adapter.
I will look at Chromecast and at that Best Buy adapter, if i do get it in my territory.
Yes, with "beamer" i meant projector.

Anyone knows if there is a change that Google enable a kind of desktop mode on pixel 7 pro if the 8 does support it? From what I understood the hardware can support it but it misses something in USB driver am I right? Or I'm dreaming and will be forced to switch to the 8 to get the feature?
