Hey all, couldn't find this question googling or in xda, although may have missed it because it's hard to know what search terms to use. I want to figure out if it's possible to have my headset, whenever I'm not using it for playing media, record the environment with my mike and play it back through my headphones so I can hear other people speaking.
For example I'm listening to an audiobook, and my housemate comes in and say hey, I pause my audiobook, leaving my headphones in, and the mic tells me what they're saying.
Maybe it's even already a feature but can't find anything that does this exactly, just kind of similar functionality.
Thoughts?
Suggestions?

All I want is a bluetooth headset for both ears that I can use to listen to music and to make calls with. Basically I want a bluetooth version of the headset that came w/ my xda II. Does anyone know of anything like this? If not, does anyone know how I might be able to "modify" a regular headset to be used via bluetooth. I want to be able to listen to music and take calls, but i want to be able to listen to music on both ears, not jus one. I don't even care if it's mono, i just want another speaker for my other ear. Please help if you can at all.
There certainly seems to be a gaping hole in the marketplace.
These people are even selling a design for some bluetooth stereo headphones, but little else comes up on a quick Google!

this is a major annoyance... I've had a Samsung i760 for a couple months now and have found it seems to have a serious design flaw.
I like to listen to music at work, through my phone using a wired headset (two way headset with mic). I work in a quiet office environment. I always set my ring to silent/vibrate while at work. If I'm listening to music, and happen to receive a call, the music will stop playing through the headset and will start playing through the built in speaker of the phone for all my coworkers and supervisor to hear.
The music would continue to play like this even after answering the call... I have to bring up the player and stop it manually. I was able to partially alleviate this by disabling the 'play in background' setting. With that, the music will still play through the external speaker briefly, roughly 3 seconds, before the player pauses the song. Which is still unacceptable.
I have tried TCPMP and Windows Media and had the same result.
Also, if I have the phone set to ring audibly, the ring is forced through the speaker as well, and the music I was listening to AND the ringtone will play at the same time for those 3 or so seconds.
what I'm hoping someone can help me with is a) a way to make ringtones play through the wired headset if possible, or b) at least keep the sound from being forced through the external speaker when the wired headset is connected and I recieve a call. As it stands, I either can't listen to music at work (a big part of why I bought the phone), or I have to turn the phone receiver off and risk missing calls. Either option sucks and is making consider another phone... though I don't know if this is a WM6 issue or an issue with this specfic phone.
any help would be greatly appreciated!
*bump* anyone?
any way thru the registry to disable the built in speaker alltogether while leaving the headphones operational?
On Acer s200, you can change the value of registry key HKLM\Software\Acer\Scenario\HeadsetIn to 1...
Maybe that can help...
I've been having an issue with the media audio streaming to Bluetooth on the Blaze, which I did not have on my previous phone (Optimus). I pair with a Soundfly View in my car, and use the app BeyondPod to listed to podcasts. On a "fresh" Blaze, the audio will begin to play/stream for a split second, and then stop (though the podcast will continue to "play" or advance on the phone). I can occasionally get it to do it again by clicking play, but never for more than that split second.
Through experimenting, I noticed that phone audio seems to be fine, as well as audio on the Music player. What I've found, consistently, when this happens, if I start the Music player, start playing some audio then pause it, then go back to BeyondPod, it streams fine. At least for a time, though I've yet to figure out exactly what "resets" this workaround. But when I'm unable to play, I have to redo this Music player trick to play the podcasts.
Any clue what is going on here, and any permanent fix?
Bluetooth streaming... I have been doing this for a few years using a slightly different method that I'll share here in hopes it might help. I know this is kinda unrelated to your app, but this might be a fix.
Connect any bluetooth headset (I use my PS3 headset)
Download an app called BTmono (its free and a very simple interface, on/off)
Press the on button
Now any sound you would of heard out of your phone speaker you hear on your headset. This lets you listen to music, audio books, videos, or whatever on your headset. When you are tired of it, make sure to press the off button on BTmono to go back to normal. Hopefully this will help or at least provide a temp fix for now. My boss just thinks I like to wear mine all the time, he has no clue I am jamming dubstep and listening to audio books all night
Well, even should that work, it's really the same solution...using another app to force the streaming which should be happening automatically if you're connected with the right BT profile.
I did forget to mention that I do use A2DP volume, which launches an app (BeyondPod) and adjusts the volume when BT is connected. I also used it on my old phone, so I doubt it's related, but...
Nobody else has any problems with Bluetooth from other apps? It's just me???
Hey XDA,
my question is related to the mics of bluetooth headsets.
Is it possible to disable them and use the one of the phone instead ? (The audio quality gets bad when calling with the bluetooth mic, I mean it should be better when disabling it).
SoundAbout doesn't work (incompatibility with Oreo ig) and other Apps don't have what i need.
Same goes to wired headphones with inline mics (since the one i use is crackling).
I'm thankful for any tries or hints on how I could make it work.
Have a nice day!:good:
Phone: LeMax2
Rom: RR 6.0.0 - Oreo 8.1.0
same problem here. I cannot find the solution.
This is just what I've been looking for.
This is how I think it goes: there's different channels where sounds goes, one is what you use for almost all media, (another one is that is used when you enable media player to play along with others or play games (not sure)), and one that where calls are. "Call mode" is what makes sound crappy and I think that microphone is related crappy sound too, because it needs more Bluetooth bandwidth to transfer mic and audio data at the same time. Reasoning behind those different channels is because I have screenrecorder which can record system sounds too, but it cannot record when phone uses Bluetooth earphones mic(when it is in "call mode"). And there's more why I think it is so: I always get notification that I'm in call even if I play pubg with microphone access enabled but don't use microphone or use live video platforms like Microsoft teams or Google meet. Also sound control is same as in normal voice call: can't really mute sound fully and if Bluetooth disconnects, it plays audio from phones speaker when in normal media player it pauses it or continues playing sound in same level as last used volume level on phone speaker.
I'm currently looking way to make audio of those "calls" go as media audio and make it use mic from phone. And also making discord channel for Android users to discuss about things like these and find useful features to make use of android much easier.
Correct if I'm wrong about anything stated earlier..
And if you have any tips where I could find more specific info on this.
I found way to make it use phones mic and thus making sound quality better
I used this "mic speaker" from play store. Unfortunately I don't yet have access to post links.
Edit: sorry, wrong call. Something happened in sound quality, but it's still crappy compared to wired earphones
Hi guys, I have a question for you. I have two Huawei smartphones with Android 9 that have a "problem". When I'm on a call and I start a song or a video on YouTube, for example, whoever listens to me hears everything I'm listening to. Also hear the call waiting sound if someone should call me. In short, I have the audio output shared with the interlocutor. Is this normal? If so, is it possible to disable this setting (which sometimes would actually be very convenient for me)? Thanks a lot to everyone!
