[Q] Inspire 4g headset/microphone adapter?

I have an adapter with microphone that allows any headset to be used for calls and music control, with iPhone. Tried to use it with Inspire 4G and got no sound whatsoever (regular headphones work fine, but of course, no mic or music control then). Pictures of HTC headset with mic show similar 3 ring insert, but something must be slightly different. Has anyone successfully used a microphone headset specifically for Inspire 4G, and/or an adapter that will function with any set of headphones?

I have 1 with an inline mic.
However the sound quality when I plug it in is HORRIBLE compared to just headphones.
Dont know why.
Have tested this with 2 inline mics.

I'm using a Monster iBeats in ear set with my 4G. Sound quality is great for music, very good for phone.
My inline mic will pause music but the volume does not work for music.
For phone calls, I can mute, unmute and answer, but volume control does not work.
This set on my wifes iPhone the volume control works for both music and phone and also allows you to forward itunes tracks.
I just use the volume control on the side of the phone on the Inspire with this headset.

DO you notice a difference when using Mic and headphones as opposed to just headphones?
I am noticing a difference even when using my Shure headphones.

I do not notice any difference in sound quality whether I use the Mic or not.
I'm running Rooted Stock ROM with bloat removed.

There is an app called Headset Button Controller
Just installed it and I can adjust the volume, move forward and back in music tracks and also turn volume up and down with this app installed in media apps.
Interestingly it only uses the center button to do all this on a three button headset.
In phone mode center button ends call. So it does not change anything compared to not running it.
I'll run it and see how I like it, initial impressions are it fixes what doesn't work native with the headset in media mode.

Wow.
Im starting to wonder if there is something wrong with my phone now
I THINK what is happening is that when I connect my mic it switches from Stereo to Mono. Duno tho.

I have purchased this app and will say that it is great. I use the same headset that I use to use with my ipod but now I find it easier to use. I use my phone while riding the motorcycle and I feel like.I have greater control over the music now..only problem I am having is people can't hear me through the Mic on the headset. Any ideas. No it didn't work before I had the software.

[APP] Earpiece: boost audio, play through earpiece

I wanted an app to play audio through a phone earpiece, so that if I didn't take my headphones somewhere, I could still listen to an audio book as if I was on the phone. So I made a very simple app that toggles whether sound comes from the earpiece or the speaker: Earpiece.
Currently alpha, or maybe early beta, quality. Works on my Epic 4G Touch. Don't know how many other phones it'll work for. (Interestingly, I also noticed that if I have earphones plugged in and I select earpiece mode, then the volume goes up a little. I am curious if this happens for other users)
I also wanted an app that would let me boost the audio volume, so I added that functionality to Earpiece while I was at it (Android 2.3+ only, should work even on devices like tablets that don't have an earpiece). I know there are such apps (Volume+ seems to be the most popular one), but why have a separate app for this?
You can set Earpiece to show up when you long-press the search key. (I don't use this feature myself. Instead, I have another simple app that pops up a menu of my favorite apps when I long-press the search key, and I use that to launch Earpiece.)

With what settings in Earpiece?
I would expect the Boost setting to interfere with DSP Manager, since both apps would be trying to do the same thing.

Thanks! Tell me more. How did you test it?
Here's how I test. I start an audio book playing in Mortplayer, and then go to Earpiece, and toggle the Earpiece checkmark.

Clever idea, thanks!
Works perfectly on my HTC EVO 3D ICS 4.0.3 leak, boost as well - even the feeble speaker becomes louder
Cheers

Works perfectly on ZTE Blade.
Looks pretty weird when "talking" to phone without saying anything

It looks like the person on the other end of the line is just talking your ear off and not letting you get a word in.
Question: Should I activate the proximity sensor in Earpiece mode, and turn the device screen off and on based on closeness to the face?

Thats great idea. Im using this in sgs2 running aokp.

I just posted 0.02 with proximity sensor support.

Screen off while close to face is default for phone calls on my htc, saves lots! of battery during long talks.
So, yes, please
Workaround so far: With screen off manually (power button), sound plays nicely in the background.
Thanks and Cheers!
EDIT: Too fast for me Thanks again!

Did this happen with the previous version?
Can you send me a log after the crash? Install Log Collector, then do the crash again, and then go to Log Collector to email the log to arpruss at gmail dot com.

My ICS has a not stable beats installed, deactivated it, now works flawless
Noticed that the "Volume up/down" beeps don't get routed through earpeace, which is fine with me. Probably, because it's not a media volume sound?
Cheers!

Work on zte blade, but is it possible to use earpiece + speaker in same time?

You mean, for greater volume?
I doubt it, but I can experiment and see. Might actually be hard to tell if it's working, because the earpiece speaker will be drowned out by the main speaker.

I just posted 0.03.
It switches to the earpiece using a slightly different method. I'd appreciate reports whether it works for people.
By the way, no luck routing audio to BOTH the speaker and the earpiece at the same time.

I posted a release in the Market.
The release version carries one text ad on the screen, for my paid products. If the ad annoys you, just buy any of my paid products and the ad will disappear. Or just use a pre-release version.

Cool thing I found. If you turn on Earpiece while in Camera, the camera sound gets routed to the earpiece, and hence is very quiet, at least in my Epic 4G Touch.
(I know there are root-based solutions to the camera sound issue, but I haven't rooted my phone yet--I haven't found a way to do it that's both safe and doesn't involve copyright problems, like downloading unauthorized copies of parts of ROMs.)

I posted 1.01 in the Market and on the google code page. If you press MENU, you can go to Settings and select whether you want the status bar notification always, only when the background service is running, or never. The "never" is attractive if you don't like clutter, but unfortunately it allows the OS to kill Earpiece's proximity sensor and boost features (they need the background service) when the OS runs out of memory. Still, it's up to the user.
I am kind of excited by my discovery that earpiece mode makes the camera sound come out of the earpiece and hence be very quiet. I've experimented some more, and when I combine this with a negative volume boost, I can make the camera sound almost inaudible--probably inaudible to anybody more than two feet away except in an almost perfectly silent environment. Of course, for rooted devices there are ways of turning it off entirely, but I don't have root, and I want to be able to take pictures without disturbing people.

Car BT and Audio Output (not music)

All my other phones will pipe the phones audio output through the cars BT. This is great for GPS because all the voice prompts go through the car speakers. This includes my RAZR MAXX HD.
I got my Droid Maxx today, connected to my cars BT and everything works the same with music...but all other audio prompts from the phone still go through the phones speaker.
Others experiencing this? Found a solution?

Driving me crazy. If music is playing while I am navigating it will go over BT but super quiet while the music is fine. If I pause the music, back to nav coming from the phone speaker.
I've tried disabling Assist, setting up Bluetooth over again, same difference.

my nav sounds were NOT going through BT, someone on android central suggested turning up all the notification sounds on the phone. it worked. weird.

You mean the 4 volume bars in settings? I had all mine maxed out. *shrug*

Ok, so I got the nav sound to work at a good volume by messing with the 4 volume bars when connected to BT.
Unfortunately, if I pause the music, the nav sound goes back to the phones speakers which is my biggest problem. I use nav a LOT but rarely listen to music.

Start-stop video remotely

Hi.
I need to start and stop video recording remotely. I tried to use the wired headset, I can start and stop the video with the volume buttons, but the stock camera app is using the headset's mic instead of the internal mic which is not good for me.
I installed soundabout from playstore, I tried to disable the detection of the mic of the headset, but the camera app is still using the headset mic...
I installed camera remote from playstore - I have android wear smartwatch - it's working fine, but it can't record in FullHD with 60 FPS.
Any suggestions?

I'm thinking tasker or automate it, there's a camera plug in for automate it but it only seems to take pics not video, there's bound to be a way to do it.

I'm recording squash games, the phone is on glass, and I need to start and stop after each game without taking the phone off from the glass.
I even tried with bluetooth headset, but the volume buttons on the BT headset do not control the camera application at all, it's adjusting the volume...
Maybe I need to use a 3rd party camera application, but neither I tried is able to record in 60 fps fullhd. I don't understand why, I think the capability of the camera can be queried by the application, so all is needed to let the user choose from the settings the camera is capable of. But it seems camera application developers are hard coding the formats I can choose from.

Screen wont landscape in Huawei Music

I just picked up an L09 uk p20 pro today, but ive noticed that in Huawei music, it wont stay in landscape (stereo +) mode, when i rotate, it bounces back to portrait, yet landscapes fine into Stereo + mode in youtube, google play music and playerPro.
EDIT:
Checked my friends p20pro today.. his is the same.. wont stay in Stereo+ Landscape mode in Huawei Music.. must be a bug in the latest HMS Core update..
Any advice

I've had this exact bug for AGES, atleast around a year or so after first noticing it with spotify wherein the player wouldnt go landscape but yet the homescreen/station browser would?
The only way i've managed to get stereo sound+ sound out is to have the music playing and then open a random app like clock/whatsapp and then it kicks in, Very weird
As a point of reference i have an o2 branded P20 pro too (CLT-L09)
