Hello guys!
I m a very happy user of my diamond and this forum...
I was wondering if there is any application that would allow to record using and external mic , plugged in via a usb - 3,5mm jack for example.
Then i can stop carryin my Iriver h340 thats getting pretty heavy!
Isn t there a tool that can also update date and time automatically ?
Thanks in advance and big up for all the cookers!
As far as I know, the Notes application is able to record from an external mic just like the fixed mic. Just go to Menu > View Recording Toolbar.
There are several applications to sync the time, can't think of any off the top of my head.
The supplied headset has an external mic in it, you should be able to hack into it and solder on a jack socket, then plug in any mic. In theory you should also be able to do the same with a BT headset.
You need "synchrotime" to correct time and date via the internet.
these were quick answers!!
I was more thinking about recording rehearsals and concerts , so more like a dedicated application were u can choose the sample rate m and also the format for ex wave or mp3 plus a gain control...
ttttthhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaannnnnnnnnnnnnnxxxxxxxxxxx
Pardon me for digging up old bones, but I've been searching for an answer to this for a bit now...
Like the OP asked, is there an app out there for recording audio from an external mic plugged into the 3.5mm jack? I own a Samsung Galaxy S (Fascinate) and know that the hardware side of this topic is covered.
The only "Notes" application I have is notebook. I have audio recorder, but that doesn't have any such settings to choose from an external audio source (and I've tried to see if it just switches to that source if it is plugged in, no luck).
This would make life so much easier for me if I could pull this off. I'd pay for a decent app that covered that.

In a twist to this question/ request.
I am and have been looking for an app also that will be able to utilize the external mic 3.5 mm jack to record audio to the built-in video application.
NATIVE! not hacked or Jerry-rigged. I tried this by plugging in a headset /mic to the external mic port on an EVO and HTC Incredible and it still seemed to use the regular mic on the phone not the 3.5 mm jack.
I'd like to use my incredible/ EVO/ (and rumored HTC Incredible HD) to be able to connect a lapel mic with transmitter and receiver so audio sounds local without echo from a distance.
Plus I could have 2 people miced up and one video camera.
There is no reason why this shouldn't work.
We are not talking power just software access.
If the notes apps uses it to record why can't the video app use the same port.

Way to record audio on Android using external mic
Hi.
You have to buy adapter which will split the signal for microphone in and audio out (you probably know 3.5 jack in your phone is 2 directional as it supports headset with mic)
You can try to look for it on Amazon (headset buddy)
or solder into headset in the pins which are responsible for mic signal.
Then,
I know only 1 app for android which supports recording from external microphone:
Arabela Audio Recorder - choose DEFAULT audio source and it should catch the signal from external mic connected through adapter via 3.5 jack.
I THINK it can catch the audio while recording video because it works in background ... so later you will be able to remove the audio from video recording and join it with the one you recorded using Arabela with some kind of video editor
regards
If you need a adapter for the phone, then check what i did here in this thread:
http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...se-a-external-microphone-with-my-galaxy-nexus
There are also link to a app which can record video with the external microphone

I think any mic with 4 pole jack should work without any adapters. Like the one's used on iphones etc. Check on ebay for iphone microphone. I ordered a cheap one $1.80 just to test on my SGSII but im 99% it's going to be working. There are some high quality for about $30 as well. Like this one HERE
Guys,
i really wondering that;
i bought a new g note, and i wanted to use 5.1 surround system.
it connected with BT stereo headset and when i wanted to use 5.1, a box appeared like "this effect is able to use just headset mode"...
its ridicolous right??? do i have to just wired jack system to use my right!!!

I have wondered the same thing myself, however it is worth noting that the 5.1 audio you refer to is a psychoacoustic "simulated" surround effect through two speakers. As a result, it is extremely subjective and some people can't hear the effect, others hear it fine, others like me just hear irritating phase distortions over the music.
Simple version: it's a fake simulation that's not worth using anyway.
However I will add that if you have a video that has a full "real" 5.1 encoded audio track, it *should* output this through the MHL to HDMI adapter. Bluetooth is only stereo, though.

Funny thing is i tried this with my bluetooth headset today after owning since november. Thought i was the only one.
If its anything like the sgs2/sgs then it didnt make a huge difference.

i've been wondering this, my car has Bose centerpoint 5.1 surround. it would be nice if i could send a 5.1 signal via bluetooth..... wondering if it's even possible to output 5.1.......
Hi,
I got used to Samsungs CarDock mode which allowed to charge the phone and play music through USB port directly to my car stereo (no BT,:crying: ). I used the iBolt XProDock ( here ) which is amazing.
Now I have the M8 and figured out that analog output is not on board. So I am looking for a solution:
a) A BT-receiver for my car audio, optimally charged with max 5.0 V via USB plug)
b) Any digital to analog converter (dac?), but not too much gadgets to be supplied with power and cables
c) A second earphone-cable ?
d) A software solution to get analog sound from USB?
Any suggestions?

BT FM Transmitter it also charges phones at 1A
If you have an AUX input, get a stereoclip.. Uses APT-x codec for cd+ quality sound. Lasts about 6 hours on a charge.
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Bluetooth...qid=1396896640&sr=8-1&keywords=htc+stereoclip
APT-X Bluetooth codec actually sounds better than USB analog audio output. No engine noise or light clicks/background noise going on.
And it's a much higher quality than normal Bluetooth.
BUT, some apps are not yet APT-X friendly.
Utter being one of them if I remember correct.

Looks cool, but needs a car power outlet which I don't want to block with this gadget. Since I use a plantronics BT-heaset for calls no handsfree functionality is required. But thnx for this!

Sorry, how could that affect the idea of APT-X in my car? The One M8 works with APT-X, and when the BT-receiver also does, shouldn't any music player work fine? I use Player Pro, and this app works fine over regular BT. Is there a difference with APT-X?

Like I said, "some apps".
Yes, APT-X is handled differently somehow.
All music players I've tried have worked just fine though.
I think it's more "voice controlled" bluetooth related apps that sometimes have problems.

ok, nothing that botheres me.
I will try the BT-Solution.
Update 15.04.2014:
I bought a tiny BT-Receiver / (even with transmitter, which I don't need), here.
Works like a charme. Thnx for your advice!
Apt-x
APT-X cannot be used with just any device. In order to get full potential from apt-X you need to have AAC audio files which the HTC one m8 support and will give you much better sound then mp3. Also APT-X can only be used if the speakers support apt-X as well as the phone. If your phone supports apt-X but your speaker or stereo does not then the APT-X will not work. There are only a handful of speakers and stereos that support APT-X. But like I said APT-X supports audio at a higher bit-rate, then standard Bluetooth, and higher then a docked iPod. For good audio performance you need both a phone/player, and speaker/stereo that support APT-X on both ends, and you might want to load some songs from a CD in AAC format onto your computer to give you that CD quality sound, or buy some songs from HDtracks.com , to play using APT-X. But also the HTC one M8 should have gotten the lollipop 5.1 update which supports usb audio/host. So I would check and see if you have lollipop 5.1
I have bought a new bluetooth headset, and having problem with it. There is no audio in bsplayer and in vlc. The headset is paired, and no sound is played through the phone speaker. The song skip functions do work. What prevents me from throwing away the headset is the fact that when I play music in the native Music Player, the headset works.
The old headset works in all the programs.
Both sets are just generic (probably) Chinese made junk. I can't post links, but if you go to ebay and look for "Adjustable Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Headset Headphone Earphone + Mic+ FM Radio", you'll see it. The old one is seven years old and I have no idea what model it is.
The phone runs Android 2.3.7, CyanogenMod-7.2.0-olympus.
I did try to uninstall and reinstall bsplayer.
Any ideas?

Hello all,
Have been using non EMUI ROM's for a while now as I'm sure many of you have as EMUI isn't everyone's favourite cup of tea.
One thing missing is the stereo speakers which although doesn't break functionality it certainly wouldn't be a terrible idea to have it working.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?
@kessaras @moto999999
If you guys have any thoughts i and many many others would greatly appreciate your input and help with getting it working.
Any testing you need, im here as I'm sure others will be.
Many thanks in advance.
:good:
What's the problem? I haven't noticed anything, maybe I haven't observed it as mainly use my Bluetooth headphones.
Is it on Bluetooth output? Or UBC C to jack? Or the phones direct speaker?
please explain. what exactly do i connect to reproduce the issue ?
just stereo speakers or a headphone will do ?
wireless ? or
directly type C or i need a type C to audio jack adapter ?
or a type c to usb adapter ?
I think it stands for the internal speakers. On EMUI they were playing together in stereo, on aosp roms only the bottom speaker plays while listening to the music or playing a movie.

Ok . I think you don't understand.
Audio takes routes.
From kernel to Hal to framework to app to user it goes through many many routes.
I need the whole route.
Can you be specific clear or not ?
I can't just buy any available combination in the market and test them all, I don't have the money for that or the time.
So.
You connect with type C ?
Type C to jack ?
Type C to usb ?
Then you connect what ?
Just speakers ?
Audio jack to two speakers ?
Type C to speakers ?
Do the speakers have an amplifier , so you connect from :
jack to amplifier and then the amplifier to speakers ?
Type C to amplifier and then speakers ?
Help me understand the whole route or debug it yourself.
There are more than 50 audio routes.
Be specific clear !!!
this phone have two speakers, one at the bottom, one at the top...
if you listen to anything, only the bottom one works, not the top one...
speakers, headset and whatever, connected via bluetooth or usb, works just fine
it's just the speakers on the phone
don't know how to be more clear, apologies

I have no idea what you're asking dude..
In fact I have already been as clear I can be.
To reiterate..
With the p20 pro with pie installed..
If you play music with just the phone! As I said just the stereo speakers that are built in..
You will have audio coming out of the earpiece and the speaker at the bottom, the bottom being right and the top being left..
There are no usb C or otherwise connected, as I said headphones, usb, Bluetooth all work fine, in which case anything else you connect would also work fine..
This is solely for the phones actual output, not sure where the confusion is mate??
Do you have the pro? If you have it and have your ROM or any other non emui ROM installed you'd know exactly what I'm saying.
Hasn't anyone mentioned this in your ROMs thread??
Any audio from the device usually (with emui) comes from both speakers, top and bottom (on the phone, nothing external)
With non emui ROMs this does not happen.
I've no idea how to debug where the break down is.. specifically within the devices software... which is why I'm asking for help.

There is no way to be more clear, it's blatantly obvious what the problem is mate.
As in the internal speakers, not some external, amplified or otherwise externally connected speakers.

Ok now I finally understand. I never noticed anything like that because when I disassembled two p20 pro to change lcd (at work, because I'm a mechanic normally) I never saw a speaker up there. We only have one below.
In some reviews I read that p20 pro can create a Dolby surround effect.
Maybe the Dolby effect confused you ?
And no actually nobody else ever said anything. It's just you since I did my first build until now ?
Edit:
To add more,
If Huawei in closed source audio Hal has some way to create a Dolby surround effect , then that's something we can't do unless Huawei shared the Hal.
Absolutely no idea about Dolby.
Doesn't confuse me at all, just the left (earpiece speaker) doesn't work..
I think Luk got it to work. Could be wrong.

That's true! On Emui the left sound is coming from the earpiece speaker and the right sound is coming from the bottom speaker. The option is called Stereo +
When the phone is on landscape orientation the audio is switching from mono to stereo

i see. no i can not do that. i can not create a stereo + effect by routing the left sound to earpiece and right sound from speaker.
what i can do is make the earpiece play sound too just like the speaker , but i don't know how bad the quality will be because the earpiece is not strong like the speaker.
I will keep that in mind , when i have time i will change the routing and test it at mine.

One good thing we know is, is that the earpiece is capable of being used as a speaker.
A lot of devices with only one speaker have had mods in the past which have enabled the earpiece as a second speaker but some have caused damage over time, this shouldn't be the case for us.
Nice one. I think the quality will be great.
If we can match up the Vol level and emulate the output specifically Vs the emui one then we'll be sorted.
@kessaras whatever you can do would be amazing mate

If it was a speaker then how do you hear the opposite side when you make a phone call ?
"Earpiece" it's called, not speaker.
In EMUI they create a stereo effect by using the earpiece to play music.
If you so much want this , then ask Huawei to send me link to their sources, hals and framework, end of story.
Me i said already , the only thing i can (Maybe i can) , is to add a route for the earpiece to also play music just like the speaker. I can not produce the stereo effect of EMUI.
I do not have the code for that and i don't know how to write the code for that.

Can't do exactly that without files from Huawei mate, which they won't release.
But he can maybe do it another way.. The result will probably be the same so let's just see what can be done..
