Guest chingy1788 Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 I have a pair of earphones (no microphone) I plug them in and listen to music Then someone calls me I press answer I can hear them through the earphones loud and clear but they cant hear me at all I believe the internal microphone has been disabled Is there a way, an app perhaps, to enable the internal microphone while I'm in a call and using standard earphones I dont want to use the stock head set as these cause pain in my ears after prolonged use, I can only use in-ear earphones without problems, and the audio is so nice... I've had this issue with the HTC Dream From googling, it seems that its not a problem with the Droid...
Guest NickeMannen Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 I'm interested in this as well. You have no problem using the microphone on the stock head set I guess?
Guest chingy1788 Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 yeah but thats stock headset... and thats using the headset's mic
Guest Richie from Shanghai Posted December 20, 2009 Report Posted December 20, 2009 It sucks if non stock earphone can not be used for phone conversation. It' kind of annoying when you have to plug the earphone out to get the incoming call. Hope this problem can be fixed soon.

You have contacts for Mic & Headphones on the same jack 3.5 mm female plug. Hence, when you plug any male plug in, it makes contact on both parts, mic & headphones on transmitter. So every sound goes through those two contacts, and if you don't have a mic, you do not get to speak, or to be heard... Sorry.

Still possible ;) just have an app that ignores external mic and only use internal cmon... my nokia did it and the iphone does it so does the droid... Edited December 21, 2009 by chingy1788
Guest liquid_it Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 Still possible :) just have an app that ignores external mic and only use internal cmon... my nokia did it and the iphone does it so does the droid... Nothing yet?
Guest chingy1788 Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 nop I've looked at the android API nothing i can use...
Guest liquid_it Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 nop I've looked at the android API nothing i can use... I did it too, but it looks like we need to access directly to hardware management. So I suppose it's ndk-related, not sdk.
Guest IronFly Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 worth a try: the jack in the middle is for iphone, if Liquid works in the same way, you can try to insulate the bottom part of the jack and see if mic is still unavailable.
Guest liquid_it Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 It works the same way, but I suspect internal mic mute is software-driven, something like "if a jack is plugged, no matter what it is, mute it". On nokia phones the os asks you to specify what you plugged, in order to manage the output in the right way, don't know on apple devices.
Guest Shreedhan Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 I've had this problem too, very annoying, hopefully it gets fixed.
Guest navygino Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 Try this....for iphone, is working well.

Guest trispect Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 HTC Hero recognized if headset or normalheadphones were plugged in. So with normal headphones there were just headphone icon and phone used internal mic. With headsets there were headset icon and headset mic was used.
Guest Uberadri Posted January 7, 2010 Report Posted January 7, 2010 Try this....for iphone, is working well. (...) Is it this product from Dealextreme? Ordered one to test with Liquid over a week ago, but it is still "Awaiting Stock" (this not abnormal with Dealextreme).
