Mono output test

Googling a bit about this, seem to be a very common problem in android devices, not only our port to mini.
Based on the suggestions and comments found in a thread on community.sprint.com, while listening to an mp3, I partially removed and re-inserted the plug but only till the middle of the jack 3,5'' hole. The audio seem to be stereo. The icon in the status bar shows headphones when it's in mono and a headset when it's stereo, but it's very hard to stay with the headset icon
According to someone in the thread, it's apparently due to "impedance" which in non-tech speak means there is circuitry in the phone that is checking to see if you have a headset or headphones plugged in and it's changing the output based on that.

I get full stereo with my original HTC headphones with phone mic!
The problem only happens on audio-only headphones.
This is related with my previous test plugging only the half of the connector.
Look at the two 3,5'' jack: Probably Android is getting the sound from the two rings closer to the wire.
- The HTC headset have three rings, probably use the iner two for both audio channels and outer one for the mic
- Another standard headphones only take the audio from one channel and sound mono
Could be possible to change the source of the channels to the two outer rings?

Toggleheadset is an aplication to change headphones to headset mode. It should solve the problem, but unfortunately doesn't seem to work with froyo
I donwnloaded from the market (toggleheadset2), installed but swithching it of/off don't change anything

I'm not 100% sure, but installing this widget seem to solve the problem. The switch on/off don't work but I have stereo now

I installed toogle headset and i think doesn't resolve the problem.
Looks like we have stereo in android only when android detect headset with mic. In other case , we have mono.
Tested with:
Sansung original headset with micro: android detect the micro and i have stereo.
HTC original with micro: android detect the micro and i have stereo.
3 headset without micro : I have mono but if i introduce the headset slowly and android thinks i have micro (The icon change) the sound change to stereo.
Regards

RADIO FM Works
To ear FM radio:
Go to WM
Conect your headset ( I tested it with 2 headset with micro: Original HTC and sansung)
Start fm radio in WM
With FM radio on , run haret
Start radio fm in android.
You can heart the FM radio without 5 seconds sound problem.
I think is the same problem as the stereo sound and mayby the fix will be the same.

Bluetooth microphone + wired earphones.

Dear all,
I would like to use my headphones with a bluetooth microphone or headset. I like my earphones and don't want to go through the wireless A2DP BT to listen to music, but in the same time I would like to have the possibility of a hands-free solution. So my question, is it possible to have the sound output on the earphones and the sound input on the mic of a bluetooth headset (like a clip-on on which I don't connect my earphones)
Is there anybody that can fiddle with his device if he has the proper hardware?
Thanks

i think its not possible. if i connect my phone to car, audio-output is only available via bluetooth

Smartwatch 3: hands-free calling in the car via AUX

Hello!
I would like to use the SmartWatch 3 in the car, hands-free calling. In addition I have the SmartWatch connected to the mobile phone and the mobile phone connected to the AUX port of my car-radio. Now I can hear the caller over the car-speaker, but he me not. The integrated microphone in the watch not work.
Can help my?

No one has an idea?
Times an example without a watch: If you connect the phone to the AUX output and someone calls, then you hear the voice over the car speaker, but he does not hear me. The microphone is then switched always silent. Why is that? Is that a problem with the cable?

The watch microphone has one and only function: translate your voice into commands for Google Now.
If you attach your phone to the aux port of your car stereo, depending on the phone itself, the phone mic will shut off or work as always.
In Xperia phones, the headphone jack doesn't exclude the microphone as long as it's not connected to a headset.
If I connect my Xperia Z Ultra to the Aux port of my car stereo, I can hear the caller and he can hear me if I keep the phone mic at a reasonable distance.
To keep things way better and simpler, I had a SBH20 bluetooth headset laying around, connected to the car stereo, and placed in the middle of the car.
That way I can stream music and call hands free without worrying about the position of the phone itself, cause the headset has its own mic, obviously. [emoji6]

Moto Audio

I just bought a pair of gaming headphones (HyperX Cloud Revolver S) I still get surround sound and spacial awareness. But Moto audio is not compatible with auxiliary connections. Would I be able to fix this using possibly an auxiliary to 3.5mm adapter? I would use the adapter that came with it but I need a type a to type c adapter. But I'm not sure if the Moto stylus supports USB audio. Any tips or suggestions is much appreciated. Thank you.

Ok so I got it to work using a USB dongle or OTG. My problem right now though is the 7.1 virtual surround sound has an echo to it mainly in voices i.e. people talking, and the sound as a whole sounds like I'm in an auditorium. It's the same rather I'm using smart audio or the movie feature in Moto audio. I've also tried turning on/off both sound virtualizer and volume leveler. Is there maybe any app that might fix this?
Note: noozoxide does not work on this device.

Can Android Act as a Bluetooth Receiver?

Hello everyone!
I have a DAC connected to the TV, with headphone jack (3.55mm). Up until now - I connect the headphones directly to it, but recently I have been thinking about going Wireless. There's all kind of devices that connect into 3.5mm jack, and broadcast the audio over Bluetooth. That being said, I don't have Bluetooth headphones, and want to keep using the wired headphones (just without running a long cable). I was thinking perhaps using my Android phone as a bridge. Pair my Android device into that Bluetooth Device, and connect the headphones to my Phone. Will that work? I know for sure that android can act as Transmitter (playing Audio from your Phone to remote bluetooth speaker), but can an Audio received from Bluetooth be played into the headphones?
Thank you!
