Get audio like that you get with a mic less handsfree - General Questions and Answers

Hello.
earlier i always used a handsfree without a mic and when i used to listen to songs in it, it came out exactly like it was recorded.
But when i use a handsfree with a mic, the music is very faint and the lyrics are a little louder than the music.
The only way to make the some come as it is is by pressing the mic button, then the music and lyrics are both of the correct loudness.
This might sound a little weird but i couldn't explain it in any other way.
So my question is, can i use Viper or any other mod to make the song play with the correct loudness( or whatever quality it is, im not a native English speaker) without pressing the mic button?

well this ain't the problem with just one device.
i experienced it with lg g4, Lenovo b, galaxy s5, etc.
Currently I'm using the original handsfree that came with the Lenovo device.
It's like the music is of lesser loudness than the lyrics, unless the mic button is kept pressed.

It still helps to know which handsfree device you're using. Asking about the android you're using was because the available options to fix this are going to be determined by the device(s) in question and their software/settings and system, even if it comes to modifying something, details about the android device will determine what and where you modify.
The "how to" for one device may not be the same "how to" for a different device.

Forgive me for being dumb, but i don't understand what you mean by what handsfree device.
It clearly has nothing written on it, i just came in box with Lenovo B

bypass headset earphone jack switch

Hi,
Before I start creating an application that would bypass the headset earphone jack switch(the one the activates once you insert a headset), I would like to know or find out first, if it is programatically possilble to bypass this manually by a registry setting or an application. If yes, kindly advice as to where I should start.
I found similar application while searching for solution to
fix sound problem while using VOIP on Titan/Mogul
and other HTC devices. It was writen for ETEN but
to my disapoitment doesnt work on the Titan

any takers or brave soul out there?
Hi,
As I understand it the HTC models that do have an FM Radio build in can switch the FM Radio output the the main speaker even while the headset is plugged in. It needs to be pluggen in; it's theis antenne. So my guess is that it must be possible. I myself would be very interested in such a program.
Good luck, hope you'll sucseed,
Cheers,
Cactus

yup
anybody out there who could point me in the right direction? where should i start...?
still no luck on this - pls help, even just to point us in the right direction
i've search desperately but no luck i know it is possible; first because the built fm radio application can stream through both speaker and earphone. second, i run into a bluetooth app that can divert/stream audio(not only calls). this leads me to conclude, that is it possible. i just don't have infos i need to create one. i've read many msdn articles, tutorials but still no luck that is specific.
please to all the programmers out there, help us. this is just a very simple app and it would hurt 5mins of your time just to point me in the right direction. I am most willing to view/review servelar even tons of source codes that is very similar or close to the solution we are looking for, you just have to share it to us. thank you. i hope somebody out there could help us.

In the registry:
HKLM/System/State/Hardware
change the key "Headset" 0 to 1.
but the headphones works like antenna and you dont hear any radio station.

thank you ryomahino, for taking time to reply. i'm already aware of this registry work around and have done this already, but the hardware switch still persists. aslo sometimes or when you reset, it does not persists. so the only solution is having at switch, that will run the audio both on the headset and speaker, pretty much like what the fm radio does, but must also work on calls, together with the microphone. im pretty sure this is very much simple for those experience programmers out there. if we put together that fm radio and bluetooth audio capability then this would work. just need a little push/help as to where start. or if I could look into those source codes then we are ready to go...

Does anybody know, or at the least, give me an idea, as to how the o2 xda atom build in fm radio application, programmatically (technically) toggle from stereo headset to speaker? Just even, point me to the right direction, pls, I'll read tons of infos, if need be...
Had same problem on my Raphael, here is what I did:

Maybe this or similar would help you as a workaround too.....
this app would be great for htc touch hd!
i use normal 3,5inch headphones to listen to music but when i do a call i always have to plug them out! would be nice to have an app that automatically disables headset when you are in a call so you can have your headphones attached but still talk with the phone!

[Q] Use bluetooth headset mic instead of phone mic

I've searched around on the forums for an answer to this but could never find anything that seems to match up to my issue.
I have a A2DP enabled headset and want to use it with apps such as Team Speak 3 beta, Vent, and other apps. But for some reason although phone media happily plays over onto my headset. My phone continues to only use the mic built into the phone instead of the bluetooth headset mic.
Any apps designed to use the headset specifically work (ie. normal phone calls, skype, vlingo) but otherwise apps ignore the headset mic.
I already tried using apps like BT Mono and Super BT Mono Froyo but they seem to only pipe audio to the headset, but don't do anything at all with the headset mic.
Does anybody know how to get the headset mic to be selected by apps instead of just the built-in mic?
My device is a Sumsung Galaxy S II ( I9100 ). Both Stock and CyanogenMod Gingerbread
good good good
Still hoping someone may know how to get the Galaxy S II phone to use a bluetooth headset mic instead of the built-in mic on the phone.
I'm really stumped on how to do this.
I still haven't seemed to have any luck finding a way to forcefully map apps to use the headset mic. I'm beginning to wounder if it's possible with the Android OS.
I have the galaxy s2 as well and I've retired several different things and have been unsuccessful with anything I've tried so far... Really difficult to drive and use vent without a headset.
Yeah I'm wanting to do the same thing.. I don't spose you've found a way in the last couple of months? Surely it can be done - may need to get a dev to write something for it though..
Sorry Lilfellabob, still no luck. I find it odd it's so difficulty to remap audio settings.
Even in Ice Cream Sandwich I can't find a way.
The app would need to be written to accept it. Its not a matter of your phone. Its the apps. Think about it for a min. If it works on apps made to use it but another app doesn't work then where does the problem lay?
The thing is, typically other apps should be able to re-route the app to use the headset mic. Alike how there are apps that can force other apps to use bluetooth audio instead of the phone speaker, even if the phone/headset can't use a2dp.

Only if the code is there for it to do it. If they don't code it in then it doesn't work.
I'm having a similar problem but slightly the opposite.
I pair my phone to a Bluetooth device that lets me hear phone output on my car's speakers. However, the phone tries to use Bluetooth for the microphone when none exists. I want to force it to use the on-phone microphone. I can talk and talk but no one can hear me, unless I set the phone output to speaker or handset, which implies setting the phone input to amplified built-in mic, or just built-in mic, respectively.
In the Bluetooth settings I can set to use the Bluetooth device for music or phone, but ideally I would want "Phone" to be separated into "Phone output" and "Phone input" so I could uncheck input (and thus use the built-in mic.) This should be implemented at the Android level so that the setting can apply to all apps.
The same problem occured when I wired (2-stripe phone-to-car audio only, no mic) my Palm Pre directly to my car. I just tried with my GNex and it was smart enough to use the built-in mic when a microphone-less plug was connected.

wrong. its in the kernel. the new firmware on the android is is capable to transmit Audio Steam to Headset device as Audio only. i wont go 100% against coding to force it to but if they wanted to theres have to be some kind of exploit to do so. lets say if skype were to find that exploit or code it, it would be probably violate android policy.

Actually, what's going on is Skype is using the 'bluetooth device' hook of some sort, just like other apps that support piping audio to the bluetooth headset. However most apps don't use the bluetooth device API/hook and just dumbly send their audio to 'default output device' and 'default input device' blindly and let the OS or Kernel decide where to send it.
The OS or Kernel when it senses a bluetooth device with the 'media' profile on it is present, it changes the default output device to the headset, but it doesn't seem to bother doing the same for the bluetooth mic for the default input device.
Because apps like Teamspeak 3 just blindly use default audio device because it doesn't use bluetooth APIs in the app itself, I have no way to make it use the headset mic.
I wish someone could make a mod or app that will allow mapping the default input to a bluetooth mic when present.
As far as I know, Skype has problems using the BT mike as well. In fact, they took a user survey regarding the issue for android and iOS users. However, I cannot find the results of that survey / study, and Skype recommendations thereof.
User choice to use BT mike seems so BASIC to me, I wonder how it was overlooked...!
Rooting will crack open the full power of your Android device!

Rooting the device would give apps or the user permissions to modify system audio controller's (idk if it is anything like ALSA or anything..) settings to make app use the audio channel for the bluetooth headset... an example for the Galaxy s2 i9100 i have is the radio app "Sprit FM" has a "volume control stream" setting which allows the user to select what volume "control" will control the volume of the app's audio output
anywho... i hope it helps a little
rwong48, I have now the same problem that you have described. Have you solved it with any app for Andorid?
Thanks!
Solution
I found an app that solves this problem on android devices, it's called btmono and you can find it in the Google store. I tried to post the link but I don't have enough posts under my belt...
Anyways, pair your device, open the program (such as ts3), connect to your server and then turn on btmono. Voila!
Well, I tried to delete this after I saw that you had already tried btmono, but I couldn't figure out how so just disregard this message.
I already tried btmono, sadly although it works for the output audio, it does *not* work with the headset mic. Programs like TS3 will still keep using the phone's built-in mic, not the headset mine despite using btmono. The only thing btmono does is pipe the output audio to the headset only.
Thanks for the suggestion though
I can't believe they haven't fixed that yet. It is so basic...
Hey guys I'm going through the same issues with my note 2. Svoice was the only one that works but its painfully slow and inaccurate.
Anyways I've tried utter! robin and aivc. Aivc works pretty good but at least it uses the mic.
Utter is really promising but no Bluetooth mic. The devs have acknowledged it though. So hopefully soon.
Update: AIVC has one downfall. The app can't open if the screen is locked like utter and svoice can when prompted from bluetooth. Also, it only listens automatically the first time. If you close it without killing the app, you'll have to press the mic icon manually every time (which takes away from the purpose of handsfree).

problem with headphone socket( OmniaII )

hi,
my omniaII assumes that a headset is always plugged into the mobile, therefore it doesn't play music or even doesn't support answering a call simply, unless I connect a headset and listen or speak by that!!! I've tried to fix it by referring to a good serviceman, but he said that the issue is about motherboard, and he couldn't solve it for me! now I wonder if I can solve this in a software form before finding another serviceman out of my city!!
I mean do u know or even is it possible to change settings or registry values of system to play music from both of headset and outer speaker, simultaneously??if yes,How can i do this?
I vitally need this ans,tnx in advance for ur answers.

[Q] Sound through both headset (BT) and speaker

All,
I am rooted and ROM'd M.O.A.R. 5.0) no problems and I don't think this is a ROM issue; that said, I keep seeing that SIII's seem to have this problem stock. The problem I have is that when my Bluetooth headsets are connected (LG Tone+) I hear all sounds through both the headsets and my phone speakers.
What I want is when connected to BT that sound comes through headsets only. I'd prefer NOT to have to go to silent mode because then it seems that svoice becomes restricted and ringtones don't play through BT. If this is covered somewhere else please point me to the thread, I did try to read up but the search function is acting up on the forum and dozens of pages into the search didn't reveal anything.
I'd be willing to install a FREE app to solve the problem, just don't want to have to pay for an app to solve something that seems like a fluke anyway.
Thanks in advance!

Bluetooth audio splitter

Hi, I've had a search through forums and the internet, cannot find my answer.
Hopefully, someone can direct me to a solution.
Is there an app that firstly connects to two generic BT speakers as the same time, to expand the sound? I do know some branded versions do so and samsungs dual audio thing.
Secondly, is there an app that does the above, but splits the sound left/right channels and send them individually to each speaker. Essentially creating a duplicate left/left and right/right for BT speakers that have two speakers and fill in the missing channel with a mirrored sound.
Thanks

Not sure if it's a software limitation or hardware.
You sparked my interest. Off the top of my head I would assume it would be hardware, although Bluetooth is usually a widely used chip so I'm not sure...
Great question. I know I can connect several devices at the same time but I've never tried to output to more than one. I believe you would have to choose.
Currently not at home, but will check it out when I get in, be about an hour..
Update: no need, so long as you have a relatively new device with BT 5 then you're all good.
https://www.lifewire.com/how-to-connect-multiple-bluetooth-speakers-4173788
AmpMe is an app that can do this apparently.
PS: just a heads up, but avoid bumping on XDA, sorry if frowned upon.
How I helped :good:
Hey, sorry for the very late reply.
Thanks for chiming in. I cannot find anything further to answer my question.
I thought BT 4-5 would be able to connect, as the bandwidth is increased but no one is exploiting this or have no need for it.
I'm thinking for party modes or surround sound systems, but nothing is around.
I'll continue the search
