External Mic W/ Moto Camera - Moto X4 Questions & Answers

Has anyone tried or been able to get an external 3.5mm microphone to work with the stock camera app? I'm thinking about getting one...
Such as the rode videomic.

DO IIIIT

I think internal mics ar doing great job, anyway.

I've recently got a Moto X4. I've got a 3.5mm external microphone I use on my previous Galaxy S6. I wouldn't work on the Moto X4 in the headphone port. So I then purchased a USB C to 3.5mm adapter. Just tried that and it still wont work. Maybe its the stock camera app that will only use the build in mic.
I've previously tried other camera apps, but you can't use the wide angle camera, so pointless for me.
I'm still stuck as I need an external mic when filming outside using a gimbal.

Did anyone get this to work? Got myself a DEITY v.lav and it's not working. Works on voice recorder but not on the stock camera app. Suggestions? Thank yoU!

[Q] Nokia Headphones not working Camera SGS

Hey all,
I always used the Nokia AD45 or something with my SGS and it works fine but they got caught in my pants and the cable got damaged. Bought another set off ebay and they work fine with music but in a phone call they don't work. The sound still comes through the handset and not the headphones. What gives? It works 100% with music...
Also, why is it that you can not use the samsung camera app while in a phone call but all third party camera apps work? Any way this can be changed?

Mystery of external microphone

Hi everyone!
From few week I've been tried to change my Samsung Galaxy Ace to dictaphone with external micorphone. My search results was quite logical: I need TRRS cable, and it should work fine. So I bought one and tries a few different mics that I have, but in every case it didn't works... I tries a lot of apps that should give me good result (in theory) but nothing... Then I had an idea to try record a video when my external mic is plugged in. And... it works! But... I want record just audio in some app to wav or even mp3 to replace my crappy audio from camcorder in editing process... Does anyone could help me?
PS: I have the same problem with my Lenovo S6000 tablet.

Compatibility with external microphone?

I'm planning to buy Sony STM10 external microphone and I see a lot of comments with problems with the not-so-old Nexus 5. Anyone has this external microphone and can confirm if it works? Anyone has another similar external microphone? I want to use it to record live shows
I answer myself. It works but not with Google's Camera app. However Cinema FV-5 works flawlessly

How did you flip the flipped image? All 3rd party apps have this issue.

I flipped later on my computer or via YouTube
That Sony STM10 has got five pins. The Nexus 5X takes a 5-pin jack instead of a 4-pin jack?
Edit: I have a LG Nexus 5X

external microphone not working

Hello,
I'm a Huawei P9 owner (unbranded, EVA-L09C432B182).
I tried to connect and record a video with an external microphone connected to jack plug but audio is anyway took by built-in microphone.
Headphone icon appear when I connect the external mic, so, I suppose, P9 does not recognize the external mic.
I had got a Xperia Z3 compact that suddenly recognized it once I plug it.
Did anyone try to use an external mic with Huawei P9?
Thanks and regards!
would like to know it too. please kindly help
Ok guys I will test it for you since I have a Sony earphones with inline mic. Give me a second.
So I did some testing and found out that the in-line mic which is on my earphones is used in the voice recording app.
So I can say at least the phone recognises that I am using earphones that has an in-line mic which confirms that it supports and recognises 4 port (if that's the correct term) 3.5mm jacks with in-line mic and volume control.
I will try recording a video with the earphones plugged in a second.
Done testing with the camera app recording a video with microphone. I can confirm that it does not use the in-line microphone and looks like it is setup to not use it when recording videos in the camera app with back camera at least. Have not tested front camera video recording though.
Same problem. More info
Have you found an answer? I have the exact same problem. I tried using SoundAbout app but it doesn't seem to work. Don't know if I'm setting it up wrong or if it just doesn't have enough permissions to manage the Camera app. Other Camera apps are out of the questions because of the dual cameras, so they only use the monochrome.

Huawei P9 external mic issue
Hi Guys,
I just bought a Rode VideoMic Me and wanted to connect it to my phone but its not detected by the phone. After ran a few of test, the mic is not the problem. The root cause for this issue is the software or OS itself. When I pluged the mic, the device will keep select the build in mic as a default. I tried to install and test 2 apps that similar to FilMic Pro (iphone app).
Cinema FV-5
This app really good for videography and the external mic is working but the camera will detect the monochrome lens instead of the RGB lens. How sad.
FilMic Plus
This is a free version of FilMic pro but its doesnt enable the external mic function.
FilMic Pro
This app available for certain android phone only. How sad.
The conclusion that can I make is, to enable the external mic, we need to install 3rd party app which is im still looking for it. Huawei should do something about this.
No external microphone connection with Huawei P10 & P10 Plus
Same pb with both new Huawei P10 and Huawei P10 Plus.
Impossible to connect an external microphone working in video mode (but, surprisingly, it can record sound with the sound app).
Samsung works 100%. LG does too. Nexus doesn't.
I've contacted Huawei France directly, they answer that they don't sell their own external mic (too bad and stupid!), but they neither guarantee that their own devices work with other mic.
Conclusion: do not buy Huawai P10 or P10 Plus if you plan to get a profesional sound quality provided by an external microphone
Unless meanwhile they take care of the pb, either Huawei (selling adequate mic), either app like Filmic Plus or FV5 solve the problem.

Cinema FV-5 Monochrome fix on Honor 6X
Hi, it is a simple fix to change Cinema FV-5 monochrome issue. Go into the setting for the video in the app and change the saturation setting to 100%. Done, you can record with colour!

Huawei y9 prime 2019 microphone and earpiece issue.
Hello guys? I've been using huawei y9 prime 2019 for a year now, it was running on Android 8 then I updated it to 9 then it started having earpiece and microphone problems, I later updated it to 10 but now the problem is now persistent. I've tried different methods like cache clearing, hard resetting, starting in safe mode but the problem only goes away after I restart and then after making one call or two, everything mutes, I can't hear the caller the same to the other end, I put on loudspeaker but I can only hear the other person but they can't hear me. I've ran out of options, anyone who has managed to overcome the problem please help...

This is forum for P9 (device from 2016 with Android 6, 7 and Android 8 released only for Chinese cust), not your y9 (from 2018, newer EMUI/Android firmwares).
Unfortunately, I see that (unlike for the other Huawei/Honor phones), there is no forum on XDA for y9
Not sure how P9 users here can help you.
Besides, there are only three or four still active P9 users here - most the others abandonded the old P9 phones, and rarely anybody comes here, read (and answer) the posts

Mi8 External Microphone

Hello everyone,
I am trying to use external microphone with mi8 (global stock latest rom) with 3.5 mm jack adapter but even that it sees the microphone on apps such as Open Camera, Cinema FV-5 or microphone applications, I do not receive any signal from the microphone. I have OnePlus 6 which already has jack and I have tested the microphone which is working. Can anyone test somehow?
Thanks, Eren
You can use google camera ver > 6.x, can select external mic.
Sorry for my english.

Device sees the external microphone. There is no signal coming out of it. That's the problem. There is no input. Just silence.
