speakerphone activation via connector - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Does anyone know if it is possible to activate the internal speakerphone of the XDA I-III/SPV etc devices by means of a contact on the connector pins. Bridge some pins and the speakerphone mode gets launched?Thanks

well not using the head set
maybe if using the buttom connector and a program which use the com port to remote cntrl the device but you could get it to do pretty much what you wanted

How? Activate Speakerphone through Remote Control?
I dont't quite understand...

...if one can get it into speakerphone mode through remote Control, one should also be able to do it programmatically. Any idea?

sure
pin 19 to GND activates speakerphone mode

PIN 20 to GND??????????
Are you sure?
Did you try it?
Sounds rather like killing the device...Pin 20 is VCC, pulling it to ground doesn't make sense...

Attention registry hackers...

Can anyone help me with this:
I have always used my PPC's in my car connected to an external audio jack via a 3.5mm headphone connection. Not only did I use this for music, but it also allowed me use my car stereo to hear my callers much louder than the speakerphone was capable and still let me to use the built-in mic of the PPC to talk back.
Enter my Artemis and it's proprietary mini-usb audio jack...
I purchased the HTC mini-usb to 3.5mm adapter from expansys so that I could continue to use my in-car 3.5mm connection. Works great for music and TomTom (Austin Powers is scary loud now when he tells me to turn left!) BUT the built-in microphone in the Artemis seems to be disabled whenever the adapter is inserted in the mini-usb jack! I can't use Voicecommand with it inserted and my callers can't hear me until I pull out the adapter - which then takes away my nice loud car stereo to hear them!!!
Presumably, the disabling of the mic is because the mic in the included headset is expected to be used for calls when the audio jack is occupied. I know my configuration is not "standard," but it works (or worked) great for me and I would love to be able to continue to operate this way.
My question is: can anyone tell me which registry values control when the built-in mic is disabled? There must be a value that tells the Artemis to shut off the built-in mic when the headset is plugged in. I would love to change this so that the configuration I described above will work for me again. I have some trepidation about tinkering with my registry too much when I don't have that much experience with it. I hope there is some registry guru out there that will take pity on me and take on this challenge (if it's even possible).
Thanks in advance!
You'll have problems with something like this... I'd assume that it'll work similarly to the headset antenna registry entry, where on connection of the headset a key relating to the FM Radio software is changed from a 0 to a 1 allowing the application to launch.
There are one of 2 outcomes for you though unless you want to get crafty with a button or something to make the changes for you....
1 - Although you'll be able to change the reg setting, plugin in the usb cable or disconnecting it will simply reset the key,
2 - You'll permanently change it and if you want to use anything other than the handset mic you'll need to undo the change.
I'd say more than likely if it a dymanic key though and triggered by connection or disconnection of the usb cable then option 1 will take effect. I'm guessing that you'll need a button (software or hardware assigned) to control this properly.
Good Luck!
I'm too lazy to read.
Check the state and notification broker. Otherwise you'll probably have to directly interface with the audio driver.

Me too...?
Hi all,
I too want this fix, using the microphone whilst drawing off the audio feed for my vehicle stereo. Can it not be done with a soldering iron & external mic wired into the dongle adaptor?
Thanks Paul

Here is an adapter with microphone...
I suggest hacking a handsfree and making your own jack for the car. this is my plan soon!
Hi All,
I have the same problem with my HTC Diamond. Did anyone have a fix for this yet? As i do not mind changing the registry or if someone wanted to make a little program that would do this i would be more then happy to donate for all your troubles.. I'm unable to hack my fm transmitter as it is a holder aswell... see picture
Anyone with a concrete solution?
This seems to be a hot topic! Are we really sure that adapters with mic are not readily available?
If you're au fait with hardware hacking, haret can probably tell you which interrupts are being used and you can write a solution to poll the irqs that way.

There is nothing to do with Registry Hacking or Softwares in your case...

There is so many ways of soldering of wires (Line IN & Line OUT) using a mini usb to made your PDA more compact...
The built-in microphone in the Artemis or Any other HTC Devices sure have to be disabled whenever the adapter is inserted in the mini-usb jack for the soldering of 2 Line-Out (Audio-Out Left & Right) and 1 Line-In (Audio-In/Microphone) Example: Headset that come with your PDA.
Unless HTC going to make one mini-usb to two cables,one for 3.5mm adapter for headphone and another to Mic.jack or a Microphone itself.
This is quite difficult for HTC to custom a cable or jack for individual need.
I think you have to DIY for your need in this case:
Use the headset that come with your Artemis, the one that have a Mic and mini-usb jack...
Cut away the left & right earphone, soldering the two cables into a 3.5 jack (male or female)
Both this jacks-Male or Female can be found in electronic spare-part shop anywhere.
I'm new in this forum... please cc this Thread to me 'thru Private Messages, so that i can give further help and keep track how the going you guys out there...

ExtUSB / EMUConnector

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to relay audio through the ExtUSB connector without triggering the headset profile. All 3-in-one / all-in-one 'extenders' seem to have the headset trigger pin conected to ground, so the internal mic of my Kaiser always is disabled and I don't want that.
The real question might even be if it is at all possible to use the audio-out pins of the ExtUSB connector without switching to the headset profile.
Has anyone sucseeded in doing this? And if so, what is the cable/hardware used?
Thanks, cheers,

Routing calls through PC

Anyone have any idea if it's possible to route calls from my Desire through my PC in the same way that I can with the hands free in my car ?
I find that holding my phone to my face causes a pain in my shoulder which then causes me to resent the person who I am talking to and try to hang up as soon as I can.
Don't really care if it connects via bluetooth, wifi or usb as long as it works, and I'd rather not have to pay by the minute as would be possible with Skype
I have found two options -
Bluesolei which has a demo but doesn't seem to work and looks a bit flaky
HFP for Linux which looks good - most of my machines run Linux but unfortunately not the one with bluetooth and the mic / speakers
Any ideas ?
Wouldn't it be easier to get a bluetooth headset? Problably the simplest & easiest solution...
If you need to route it through your pc then again Bluetooth is the way as long as the software / stack supports the headset profile. I know bluesoeil does
Are you trying to record the calls ?

Connect the headphone Jack to the line in/out on your soundcard. Would cost you next to nothing.
I have my phone paired to laptop and Whenever I turn on my bluetooth my laptop automatically becomes a speaker but I have never tried a call to see if it also works as a microphone.

Would that clash with the speakers that are already plugged in ? I suppose I could get a usb sound card ....

[Q] How to connect phone to receiver?

Hey everybody, my friend recently gave me his old yamaha receiver. the model is RX-V2095. I got the speakers to work but it only works when the effect [on] mode on the receiver is turned on. Problem is it sounds extremely bad and i would like to adjust my own bass and treble settings. im using a rca female cable and connecting a 3.5mm jack from my phone to the end of the rca cables which are connected to my receiver.
this will be very hard to help over the internet but i will give it a try.
Here is the user manual for the device:
http://download.yamaha.com/api/asset/file/?language=en&site=usa.yamaha.com&asset_id=856
You have the correct output set as CD. But i noticed on the front for line out record it shows CD. I would rotate that knob so its pointing up (remote select)
i noticed that you are using channel A and B. Do you have 2 sets of speakers plugged in? If not, i would suggest turning off one channel A or B which ever is not in use. (older receivers might split power between the channels when both are set to on)
you will also need to take it out of "surround mode" and put it on stereo mode. this will remove most effects and you should be able to control EQ with the knobs in front.

Thanks you, i figured most of it out but i don't have the remote to change those settings and set the speakers to small to allow my subwoofer to play. Does best buy have anything that will work with this as a remote?

Your phone has an IR blaster and there are some apps in market that could do it.
I have a Logitech harmony 650 remote that controls my sony receiver. you could check their website out and see if itll work for you.

Microphone is too silent when G4 is connected to car radio

Dear All,
I have a quite big problem, when I want to make a phone call in my car.
I connect the phone's audio out via a minijack to my car's radio and I want to use my phone's built in microphone for phone calls.
Unfortunately the mic does not record my voice loud enough. When I use the phone's built in loudspeaker it works fine, but when I use the car radio as sound output the mic does not record loud enough.
Does anybody know how to solve this issue?
My Samsung Galaxy Note 1 had a car mode available for this.
Thanks!
Simply, the headphone jack also contains the mic connector for a proper phone head/earphone and mic. Plugging your phone into your stereo via this jack disconnects the internal mic in favour of the headset mic which of course you won't have if you connect to the car stereo. So you are effectively disabling the ability to use the phone for calls when plugged in this way.
But the mic is NOT disabled. It is still enabled but is recording the voice as if it is being used like in a normal phone call. All I need is a function to switch the mic to some kind of a handsfree mode.
Sorry for my English.
With "normal phone call" I mean the phone being held right at your ear.
With "handsfree mode" I mean speakerphone mode.
So I need the audio out via stereo jack and I need the voice in via phone microphone in speakerphone mode...
Can you try using a cable that doesn't pass microphone? I think the difference is the full cable WITH mic uses 3 connections and the standard audio only uses 2.
This will prevent the internal microphone from being disabled.

I already use a standard audio cable with 2 connections only. The problem is not that the microphone is not working at all but it is not recording loudly enough. I simply want it to record as loudly as it does on speakerphone mode.
