I want to use voice control in my car but haven't had much success using my Bluetooth visor speaker. I was thinking I might be able to wire a microphone near my face so I can use that to control things in the car.
I don't really want the headphone output connected to the car speakers (maybe sometimes) so is it possible just to connect a microphone to the headphone socket and still have the sound come from the phone's speaker?

I bought a connection for my diamond to connect to the aux input of my car stereo sort of hoping that it would work by allowing me to use the car speakers to speak & listen from phone, listening was not a problem, crystal clear but the person on the other end could not hear me. Is there an easy way to get this sorted? My stereo does not have bluetooth.
Depends on what sort of "connection" you have bought and how it works. Is it meant to be a handsfree unit, in which case it should come with its own microphone?
Or is it a USB type headset lead unit that is only meant to be used as a means of playing music via the car stereo, in which case you probably can't attach a microphone and can't use it as a handfree unit.
The way to sort it is to buy a bluetooth handsfree unit complete with microphone. These communicate with your phone using bluetooth and can either have their own amp and speaker or be wired into your car audio (usually via the phone facility in the DIN connector on the back of the car unit).
If you want to use for both phone calls and listening music it is best to get one that supports multiple Bluetooth profiles, including handsfree and A2DP.
When using a stereo headphone adapter in the ADP1, when the headphones are plugged in, despite the lack of any external microphone, the internal microphone is deactivated.
This prevents the phone from being used as a car phone; I have my ADP1 on a windshield mount with audio routed via headphone adapter to double-male cable to car stereo input. If the internal mike was still operational, it would allow the phone to be used as a hands free car phone.
Is there any app that can be used to prevent the microphone from auto switching off?
Help
I have a similar problem, I have a great car holder for my TP2 which charges and transmits music/sound over fm to my stereo. It is not bluetooth the holder has USB. The phone shows the headphone symbol but the holder has no mic. So if i could tell the phone to not use the non-existent usb mic and use the internal one it would be a carphone. If anyone can help it would be great.

Exactly the same problem here. Wanna use my G1 in the car, but if I connect the phone->adapter->car audio, the mic switches off. Does anyone can think about any way to avoid it? May be by using some sort of special adapter or some kind of software hack?
Thank you for your ideas!
+ 1 on this
Should be a simple hack (something like 1 value changed in the code) for more-experienced dev (certainly not me )
Hi there. I hope someone will help me...Basically I need dictaphone for interviews so I bought "Olympus ME-52W Noise Canceling Microphone" and I tryied to use it with my htc hd 2. Phone is showing connected headphones but mic is not working. So my question is can I use external mic with my phone or is it related with software? If someone know the answere pls help me!!!!!!! btw I use Resco audio recorder
The problem is because the connector on the mic is probably the same as a mono headphone plug. The phone thinks that you have headphones plugged in. The phone has a socket that accepts 4 pole jack plugs. That is it requires a special plug that has contacts for both left and right audio as well as for the mic.
If you really want to use the mic I would go to somewhere like radio shack or mapplins and buy a 3.5 mm 4 pole jack plug and a couple of sockets. You could then wire up your own adapter to let you use the mic and also a pair of headphones or speakers at the same time. The pin out for the plug should be easy to find on the net and so long as you can solder I wouldn't see any problems.
Other than that plugging the mic directly into the phone will defiantly not work.
shut up stupid douche
Hi,
Does this issue plague anyone else?
The microphone simply won't work when any 3.5mm jack is plugged in, regardless of whether it's headphones or a headset (with a built-in mic).
This is my 2nd phone, and I still can't use my mic when I have a standard set of headphones plugged in. Surely this isn't a design choice they made for the Z1?? What happens if I'm listening to music and I receive a call, do I have to UNPLUG my headphones and slap the phone to my face?
My gf's XZ works just fine with the 3.5mm jack plugged in.
It needs to be compatible with Z1 and it will work, afaik not many if any phones mic will work with headset plugged in if headset doesnt have mic or mic that is compatible to the three ringed plug.
Is it possible to have the phone output sound through auxiliary for phone calls if the attached aux does not have a mic. For example if I plug it into my car speakers, or if I wear headphones not made with a mic. I'm not sure if its just a problem with my phone that doesnt allow this, it shows the headphone icon yet for phone calls it still outputs through the earpiece. Calls output fine if I use a earbud that has a built in mic.
This has been an minor annoyance since I got the phone a year ago and I've been hoping after all the updates they would finally fix it.
