Hi there,
Wondering if I could have some help on a problem that I have with Tasker, any ideas would be great.
What I have is a signal coming through from another device which can output sound via a 3.5mm jack. What I want to be able to do is use this signal as a Tasker trigger for a Tasker task. It doesn't need to be able to send messages or anything, just to trigger a task. When ever my phone receives a signal through the TRSS jack the task begins. What I am not asking is how to make something happen when a TRSS jack is inserted, I wish to already have the cable inserted and trigger when audio played through the 3.5mm cable. I suppose I would need to solder a new 3.5mm to TRSS cable (if that is possible?) , but I was wondering if anyone had some ideas on how I would go about doing this? I'm not really sure where I would start. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've just got one of the HTC 3-in-1 USB charger/headphone affairs for my lovely new Touch Pro but have come across a stumbling block in my otherwise cunning plan - the idea was to use it as an easy 'handsfree' kit, plugging my car radio's cassette adaptor into the headphone socket and thus being able to charge the 'phone, take calls and listen to music safely whilst driving- a stroke of genius, I thought.
However, when the adaptor is plugged in, it disables the 'phones onboard microphone so that I can hear people but not reply, which kind of invalidates the point (although the music playback is great, but even then I can't use voice control either).
So, do any of you very clever chaps know if it's possible to turn the Touch Pro's mic back on whilst the 3-in-1 is plugged in so it all works as I'd like? Thanks very much in advance!
I've noticed that when the 'phone is the official docking port the mic works fine, so is it more likely to be a hardware issue with the USB cable wiring than a software setting in the 'phone itself?
UPDATE: Apparently I was wrong, I've just tried it again and although voice control works when it's in the stand, when I plug anything into the speaker socket it kills the mic too, so I'm back to square one.
Hi everybody, i'd like to know if anyone knew how to enable the use of the CRUISE microphone while an external earphone (without microphone) is plugged (with a mini-usb to Jack 3.5mm adapter).
Because my original hand'sfree kit is broken, now i want to use earphones to make calls and use the cruise microphone to speak.
When i am calling, i can hear people with my earphones but they can't hear me because there's no microphone with my earphones, so i would like to make calls with my earphones but using the device's microphone.
Is it possible ?
Sorry if my explaination seems too messy..
Thanks a lot
I used standard earphones and Cruise's built-in microphone without any extra efforts or settings on a standard ROM.
Why you did not just try?
Hi, thank you for you answer, i've tried it but people can't hear me when i talk while adapter+3.5earphones are plugged.
I dont know how to make it, maybe modifying something in the registry ?
If somebody knows anything, can he/she tell how to activate the built-in microphone when an adapter for 3.5jack is plugged ?
Thanks a lot

Hi,
I bought a simple USB adapter to jack audio, see attached file, to use my Diamond as a mediaplayer.
I can hear a phone call across my car hifi but the built in mic is disabled.
I think that there is a setting in the registry to enable the built in mic, someone can help me?
Thank you
Luigi
If someone find a solution i'm also interesting!!!
I've tried some apps but no-one fonction to activate the mic with this cable.
It occurs because the jack adapter is not officially supported, and Diamond recognizes it as a stereo HF, disables built in mic and is trying to recept sound from HF mic (that is not present).
But yeah, it'd be nice to activate built in mic somehow ...
Where did you buy one of those! Like the name and make of it, but I can also tell you why its not working.
What you bought their is a simple adapter, not an amplifier. (Im sure amplifier is not the right word, but go with me) Basically, if you want it to work you need a device that changes the analog waves to digital waves of the usb, which by looking at that, doesn't do it.
If you're wondering were to get this magical device... well lenovo used to make one that came witha cheap headset.. but they stopped producing it a while ago.
You can buy one of these adapters:

Are there any car docks for Desire yet that provide charging and audio aux out, just by docking i.e. not manually connecting jack plug to headphone socket.
Found quite a few threads saying it isn't possible, but they are fairly old - surely this must be possible by now?
If not, I guess using a parrot bluetooth device would seem to be my next option for music from desire to car?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks
It isn't possible.
It is a car issue. Obviously you'd need something to integrate the AUX/Power to the dock, so the dock can then work with the phone. This would involve either, still connecting the dock to AUX/Power manually with cords (defeating the purpose), or hacking into your dash.

Afaik there are not any interfaces for the Desire.
I bought a Parrot MKi9200 for my car and it's just perfect!
Bluetooth car kit that syncs all your contacts and you have them on the display
Sd Card input
Aux(mini jack), USB and Ipod/Iphone input cables
Music over BT (A2DP)
It even mutes music or radio to give navigation directions or to let you know if you have an sms, etc

PROBLEM:
Essentially my phone has stopped recognising when headphones have been plugged in, but the headphone port isn't broken since it plays audio through both the speakers and the headphones at the same time. I recognize that this might be a hardware problem, so I'm just looking for a temporary fix. Ideally a small app that allows me to toggle where the sound is played through.
SPECS:
Rooted android 4.4
Cubot s308
ALREADY TRIED:
Checked headphone port for dust/debris using a light, wiggled inside with a cotton bud and so on
Tried a few apps, notably 'sound about' which doesn't actually change anything
Other headsets - all I have tried have the same issue, so its not a headset issue
All other posts I can find are where the headphone out is permanently on, or where the port just doesn't work, so any help would be apreciated.
