Microphone?

Can you use a headset with a microphone (to make VoIP calls etc)?

And there is a 3.5mm headset jack, correct?

Unfortunately the headset jack is 3pole meaning there is no mic input. On the plus side "Chip supports bluetooth transmit/recieve and fm radio functions through the same antenna, but is not enabled in software drivers." so maybe we can get bluetooth mics to work.

There is a 3.5 mm jack for listening. I do not know if it will work with a microphone. I tried a few sound recorder programs without success so far.

I tried this also. I plugged in my iPhones earbuds with microphone. no luck. A Bluetooth stack that supports headsets with microphone seems to be what I'm waiting on.

[Q] Bluetooth headset(non A2DP) with Skype/Yahoo voice chat possible?

I have a LG headset (HBM-235) that is paired to my N1 and works fine for calls. The button brings up the speech command activity when pressed.
The problem is that apps like yahoo and skype (latest versions) only use the internal speaker/mic even though the bluetooth headset is connected.
Is there any way to use my BT headset with these apps? (on CyanogenMod7 nightlies or otherwise) Maybe a third party app ?
A screenshot of the BT options screen is attached.
Note: My interest in this is directly related to the WHO report that cell phone radiation is "possibly carcinogenic to humans." 05/31/2011
update: This app seems to be working. Music is routed correctly will report back about the mic (skype test)
Update 2: did not work with skype

Update3: It looks like I need a A2DP headset that supports the "Media" audio channel and not just the "Phone" audio channel. Since CM7 is not showing me (See the screenshot) the option to enable "Media" audio I guess I'm stuck. Note that this headset works fine as a skype headset on my laptop.
What you need is a A2DP headset, that's one that can send the Media audio (stereo) over BT.

Suggestions for a wireless microphone for video recording

I'm interested in using my phone as a camcorder to record my video blogs. I haven't been able to find any information on
A. Changing the microphone settings for video recording
B. Wireless microphones that work with our phone's
Thanks in advance for any info you may have.

I'm guessing that there's no solution for this.
I've considered using my blue tooth headset as the microphone receiver because this feature is available in Easy VoiceRecorder Pro but I don't see any setting adjustments in the video recording setup.

I have built this adapter http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36038426 for using an external mic. Can't use it yet cause I lack the mic
Also you can look for fm wireless transmitters in evilBay. They sell really cheap and can record from very far.

Answered my own question
I was able to record sound from my Plantronics blue tooth headset. I'm not happy with the sound quality but I am happy that it works. Now I need look into purchasing a bluetooth microphone. Any suggestions??
Terribly sorry for wasting a thread. Hopefully this will answer someone else's questions about this feature.

Trying to record from my bt hands free with easy voice recorder the app informs me that the max audio quality that a bt device can record is limited to 8khz which explains your disappointment. So the bt solution is not an option.

My first question is whether the built in camera can use a bt external mic?
or is there an app that would?
also, Im using the samsung hs3000 for my external headset and the device has a built in mic which i thought would make it a great bt lapel mic...
i'll have to break it out and see if it works (or look for a camera app that enables the use of an external mic)

I was able to use my bluetooth headset with the camera app but not with my voice recorder app. The voice recorder app gives very poor sound quality when using the Bluetooth headset.

Im also looking for a solution to record videos on my SM-G900F (Samsung Galaxy S5) using the mic on bluetooth from Bose A20 headset. Hopefully some apps will make it possible for me.

[Q] Bluetooth Headset issue with CM10.1

I am using the latest release (07/19).
Facing an issue with bluetooth headset which was present in earlier versions as well but never found a solution to it, so posting it again. I have tried this with three different bluetooth headsets so i am pretty sure its not a model specific issue. the models i tried with are BlueAnt Z9i, Samsung WEP470 and Jabra Extreme.
In nutshell, bluetooth headset does not work. Here are the details:
1. Pairing with Nook HD+ is flawless. Nook shows connected.
2. MP3 player: does not play sound in bluetooth headset. it just plays using speaker.
3. Default Sound recorder app: does not record when device is connected. even the internal mic stops working. (so, i assume some kind of a connection is being made with the bluetooth but Mic output from bluetooth is not recorded)
4. Google hangout: When device is connected, no audio comes from external speakers nor bluetooth earphone. Internal mic and bluetooth mic both stop working. Similar is the case with Skype.
Any one else has bluetooth headset that works with Nook? Please list out your models.

I have the same problem with CM10.1 installed on Nook HD+
Any solution?

Bluetooth Microphone not working

I have 2 pairs of bluetooth headphones, each with a built-in microphone. My phone (galaxy s10) however, refuses to use those microphones. When I plug in wired headphones I can use the mic without a problem.
But when I connect my bluetooth headphones, the microphone simply doesn't work. I've looked through every option but can't seem to find a way to use the microphone.
Does android10/samsung even support bluetooth microphones? Is there any option I've overlooked?

Hi,
I can confirm I am having this exact issue with Galaxy A40.
Can you tell me if recording of the Bluetooth mic works if you use the MicTest (by Laureano) app form the app store?
This works great for me. Which tells me the mics in my case (a plantronic and a jabra) both work just fine.
But when it comes to calling and using other apps (Teams, Whatsapp, Samsung voice recorder) the phone just defaults to the internal microphone.
Is there a setting missing here?
