I'm trying to take video without wind noise so I've an external 3.5 jack mic and I've made a wind muff for it​, however the internal mic on the bottom and one by the rear camera are still active and pick up wind, is there a way to turn them off when I'm using my external one?

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
I purchased a Sony-DS70P Condenser Microphone thinking it would work as an external mic on the X1 but despite it connecting and being recognised by the X1 (it shows as headphone icon/same as handsfree kit) Audio recorded through "Resco Audio Recorder" and "Recorder" is constantly being picked up by the low quality internal mic situated at the bottom.
Is there any way for this to be over-ridden, or is there any program which offers the option? It would allow for the Xperia to become a high quality, fully featured digital recorder that could easily compete with devices that cost $200 and upwards. I want this!
being way would be
1. cannibalize the mic from the se headset and put a female connector in the other end and connect the external mic
2. make a whole new cable using the 100% pinout se use
non of the wired headset follow any std but their own so even if your mic is sony then htc made the device
hi
as we all come to know one of the oneplus 3 greatest faults is the sound quality from the internal microphones, so i was wondering is it possible to have a external microphone plugged in to try and correct the issue. ive seen the ones that plug in to the 3.5mm jack and the usb ones.
has anyone had success with either of these types of microphones
thanks
I have used an external mic with my oneplus 3 when recording video. I have a Rode Videomic Go that is plugged into a Y splitter that has a microphone and headphone jack. Rode also sells a converter. The only caveat is that you need to use a 3rd party video app (I use Open Camera) that can set the audio source to external.
Are you using the y-splitter because you want to monitor with headphones and/or because the the Rode doesn't come with the right cable to plug into a phone?

Ext mic with muff but internal mic still on
I'm using open camera with a plug in external mic and a diy dead cat wind muff, but the mic next to the back camera and the bottom phonecall mic are still active so they pick up the wind, is there a workaround to disable the internal mics?
So, I recently got my unit and been trying to get it to work with an external microphone. I have puluz shotgun mic that connects via 3.5mm jack. I have a headphone adapter so I was trying to get it to work with open camera. No dice.
Anybody got an external microphone to work?

I've not used a proper external mic, though I've a Mi Youth wired headset that works just fine.
I read of someone being unable to get a usbc mic to work

I'm planning to use the shotgun mic for videos so I wouldn't have to get a label but if I can't make this work, I doubt a label would.
I've only tested it with my mic so I don't know if it's a compatibility issue or not since I tested the mic on my PC and it works just fine. I hope this is not a hardware limitation.

Not sure what you mean by "a label" (maybe a lapel mic?)
Also I'm not sure if my post was clear that the mic function of my wired headset works fine.
Suggest you have a look at the poles on your microphone jack. Fwiw my headset has 4 poles, though I couldn't tell you which is which.
It tends to be that poles 1 and 2 are left and right audio, 3 is ground and 4 mic - it's possible that Xiaomi use a nonstandard set up on their devices but unlikely.
Depending on the poles on your mic you could probably pick up an adapter plug to switch the poles about or else use insulation tape to blank off some of them

Yep. Lapel mic. Auto correct kept changing it. I bought an adapter so I would have 4 poles but still not working. I tested the mic if it actually works and it worked fine in my PC.
Boya Lapel mic Works with POCO F1
i tried Boya mic with default camera app and it does not work.
I tried with other third party camera app from Play store which allow us to customise the mic settings
I set external mic in the setting and shot a video. Boya works fine with poco f1
Whixh third party camera app?
I've tried open camera but it doesn't work with my BOYA BY-MM1. Can you please share which camera app you got your pocophone to work with an external mic.
A microphone and an app to record sound properly
If you go to this link:
a2zapk.com/345718-easy-voice-recorder-pro-2-5-7-b11089-paid-a2z.html
you have the "pro" version of this app, is really pro. You can record in .WAV lossless if you change it in settings, also in stereo and with 48Khz...
Download it, go to setting and change everything to the maximum quality.
Also have a noise reduction and echo reduction
And the mic can be:
BOYA BY-M1
I hope you like it! :good:
Works with the open camera app

I used open camera. go to setting and change audio source to external mic. The default app doesnt let you use the external mic is a shame. I am creating a video checking the quality of the mic right now, will post it in a day on my youtube channel trouvaille -by Aamir
This is the best Android app for recording audio (interview etc), also good for video shoots to edit & sync later:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.pfitzinger.rec
I have the same problem on my poco f1
I tried using my lapel mic, boya mic, shotgun mic all mics faiked to tecord soubd through external mic. The video gets its sound from intetnal mic by default. I ttied all settings but no use.
Its a shame we are not able to use external mic on such a device with good video capapbility.
Not tried any third party apps yet. Plz suggest the besy one that really works.
I use a USB mic blue snowball. With a USB c converter and software from play store. That works.
Some info on 3.5mm connectors on this page: http://www.epanorama.net/newepa/2014/09/15/android-device-external-mic-wiring/
Most (if not all) android phones use the AHJ pinout.
Any solution for this?
Which type is Pocophone?

Hi. Does Pocophone F1 use AHJ or OMTP? Thanks.
Hi Guys. I am trying to use a Type C Mic on my note 9.
When I record audio on the voice recorder app, the Type C mic works perfectly.
When I try to record a video using the Note 9 camera, the phone picks the audio from the internal mic, instead of the Type C; even though when I start to record the phone says "recording audio from USD mic"
I tried restarting but the problem continues
Any ideas?
Thanks
UpdateL
I downloaded an app to record video from my phone, and the mic works well with it.
The problem is happening only when I try to use the phone's camera to record, which I would prefer to use. When I use the phone's camera grabs the sound from the phone mic, instead of the external Type C. The phone still says "recording audio from external usb mic" but is not doing it

It could be that the default camera app, which comes with the Note 9 does not support the use of external mics
