i don't think this is an evo, or even android, issue, but i was hoping the great minds here could maybe direct me or at least clear this issue out for me. i have an mp3 file i'd like to use as a voicemail message greeting. is that even possible? i know a lot of people have songs as greetings, but i always thought those were selected from a bank of pre-selected options.
any thoughts on this?
hmmm. Take the song, layer your voice over, then plug your phone into the computer through line output (does the 3.5mm act as mic jack? on the phone) then call your voice mail

haha i thought of doing that, but i don't think the 3.5mm acts as a mic. if it does though, someone please correct me because i have the most epic of all greetings ready to be unleashed on the few who actually call me haha.
my only alternative, which seems to be the only one at the moment, is to let my laptop scream it out loud while the voicemail system catches it. sigh.. lol
The headphone jack does support mic input, but only through a hands-free headset (that is, a TRRS jack). I just dug through my stuff and I only have 2.5mm headsets, no 3.5mm that would fit the Evo, but if anybody has a stereo headset they should try this out. I tried an external mic and it doesn't pick up, but the headset icon comes on in the notification bar. If it works, it's easy enough to make your own external microphone with simple Radio Shack parts, probably a $5 job. I'll splice something together tomorrow and test this out. The only issue would be that it might trigger the headphone output and mute the speakers. . . .
EDIT: Also just found this. I just sent my cables off with family on a trip so I can't try it right now, but I'll give it a go tomorrow as well.

oooh awesome, please let me know! i don't mind building an external mic at all. thanks!
Well, I struck out looking for my other AV cable and finding one locally. Here's the way this is going to go down:
The Evo headphone jack is a 4-conductor type, also known as TRRS (tip-ring-ring-sleeve). Normal stereo headphones are TRS (tip-ring-sleeve), and you can see the difference by looking at the plug end. If you have a metal tip, then a black ring, then a metal ring, then another black ring, then the metal shaft (sleeve), it's a TRS type. These are able to send the left and right analog signals separately (usually left to the tip, right to the ring, and the ground or shield to the sleeve). The TRRS connector adds another wire to the mix, and this can be used to carry a mono mic or line signal, or even an analog video signal. This is why you could use an analog camcorder cable like this one. I've seen them for less than $2 from some websites, but no local retailers have them, except maybe Best Buy . . . for $41. (You think I'm kidding? )
Cell phones are starting to use these TRRS connectors more commonly, allowing both stereo headphones and a hands-free microphone to share one cable. The problem here is finding a TRRS input cable and coupling it to a line/mic signal. So here's what I was going to do. Get a TRRS-to-RCA adapter like the one linked above, then use a 3.5mm-to-RCA female-female adapter OR a common 3.5mm-to-RCA (red and white) adapter to connect a line/mic signal to the correct RCA connector on the TRRS cable - probably the yellow one. It may or may not take the right kind of adapter to take the stereo line signal down to a mono signal, unless your source is already mono. Otherwise, you could be sending a stereo signal from the source, but only recording the left or right channel into the phone. Alternatively, if I had an iPhone headset or another stereo hands-free headset with a mic built in, I could cut the wire open and separate out the microphone wire from the bundle, then splice a mic/line onto it. It's sometimes tricky getting those tiny wires split apart just right, and those headsets are sometimes expensive.
So, short version: You need a TRRS connector to plug into the Evo headphone jack, and you need to be able to feed a mono line/mic signal to just the tip of the connector. Easy. I have everything but the TRRS plug itself, so I'm stuck for today.
By the way, if you've ever plugged a TRRS cable into the Evo, you'll notice that the standard headphone icon in the notification bar actually shows up with a little microphone coming down, like a flight headset, so you know you have a mic signal at least triggering that fourth conductor.
hmm... you're right about the different icon. i tried it with my old iphone 3gs earphone/mic. pretty slick lol.
i'm going to go to radio shack tomorrow and grab this stuff. all for a custom voicemail lol.
thanks a lot! i'll post up my results, probably this weekend.
There are broader applications to this, I think. Find a good mic and you could record events, maybe. Or hack together your own car kit.

you, sir, are giving me ideas.. i sense a good weekend project coming up.
A different voicemail for each caller.
One of the few times I've been able to come up with an answer before some one beat me to it.
There is a free website out there that I love called youmail.com. You can choose from hundreds of recordings they have or upload your own. Each person can have their own unique voice mail greeting or you can set up groups and each member in that group will have the same greeting.
For example, my work associates get a more professional greeting, family and close friends get something more fun. I've got one just for my wife telling her how much I love her, and a friend of mine that I have shall we say, a boisterous relationship with, get's a very sarcastic greeting. Another friend that's into horses get's a Kentucky horse race greeting. As you can see, you can have a lot of fun with it and do just about anything I like with it.
If you want to do something in your own voice than all you need is a regular microphone to plug into your computer and your set. You can record it directly on the web site or you can use your own software to overlay other audio if you like.
Your limited only by your imagination.
It's a free site, but they do have some pay ring-tones if you really want to give them your money. Personally, I haven't found most of the pay tones to be worth it, but I'm sure somebody does. They have to be paying the bills some how.

I think it is. Never had a problem and I've spent hours going through the hundreds of sound files they have and had a lot of fun doing it. Found everything from very professional to down right vulgar (used that on my best friend) and everything in between. I've even set up holiday greetings for many holidays. It can be lots of fun for both you and your callers.
Just like ringtones. Some people love them, others hate them and just want a simple ring. It's up to you. If you like custom voice mail greetings, then you'll love this one.
Other than selecting the greetings you like and assigning them to your frequent callers, all you have to do to enable or disable is it to set your no answer call forward from your carrier to the youmail number. *28-XXX-XXX-XXXX to turn it on and *38 to turn it off. It couldn't be any easier.

A lot of these features are available through google voice. (http://voice.google.com). Google also has an app for google voice to integrate visual voicemail with your phone. Worth checking out if you want a highly customizable v-mail service.
In order to setup your phone so that all voicemails go to your google voice instead of your sprint voicemail dial *28 + google phone number without the 1. it's a free service from sprint.
I have the perfect answer for uploading greetings!!!!
All you have to do is simply download youmail!!!! On your mobile. It works for all cellphones and you can do whatever you want to do. Any other way is simply ridiculous hahaha try it and spread the word!!!!!

The sub-standard quality of the supplied earphones prompted me to look for a better alternative. The 2.5 to 3.5mm adaptor is a good one but it negates the use of the control console (phone buttons, mic., etc), so I decided to make my own connector which I fitted above the control console. I can now use any 'quality' headphones to listen to music and use the phone handsfree function.
Its pretty easy to do, if you know how to solder, which is not difficult in itself. If anyone wants more detail of what I did or wants me to make a connector for them, let me know.
Yes, what a great job.
i am thinking the same thing, please tell us more information how to do that, and more pictures.

Please can you let me know how much, I want to use my sennheiser earphones.

nice i wanted to make the same but a few things held me back
1 canabalizing the working headset could cause problems if the stereo wiring in the xda headset were poor quality and i could end up having to listen to music in the bus played by the normal speaker on the xda adding to the enjoyment of the rest of the pasangers
2 if the length of the mic and buttons had to be near my mouth the length of rest added headset would be added making me look like a d00d who were a bit too much into rubber and of cause the added lenght could cause music quality loss not that i would notice with the music i listen to
I would like to see the details and more pictures if possible. Thanks.
amaaaaaaaazing!! can you please show us how did you make it? :?:
well i asume he just strip the wires and solver them on to the connector of the female 3.5 minijack connector
not sure what he pictures should show some light on
I've been asked to formally write up the process and include further pictures. I shall be doing this this week and will post it when complete.
I would like to know how to do this also.
Don't waste your time soldering, and cutting, and fixing up your existing wires.
The wire is already available on the market.
I use in in my AUX-INPUT in my car so that the sound comes out the speaker system in my BMW, and the microphone remains enabled. The sound is fantastic. In addition, you can use the wire to listed attach to headphones, (listen to music) while the microphone stays enabled.
Here are the two places you can purchase the cable... (I am in no way affiliated to either).
www.arkon.com : the part number is ADPT04 - and it cost $9.95. You have to call in the order - it's not on their website. (it ended up costing me $13.95 shipping included - to CANADA!\)
www.handheldcanada.com - Same part number... different price (17.95 Canadian PLUS shipping).
Enjoy.
Seems like everyone but the first runners and (Tmo) are getting the version with a 3.5mm jack. I think Tmo will also get this version too once they bleed out stock. My guess is the next production runs of TP2's will have the jack for Tmo.
Makes sense from a production standpoint in regards to sub-assemblies. HTC's decision to finally bail on usb audio happened during TP2 production.

Eh, I'll just get my 1st gen TP2 replaced under warranty or something when the new 3.5mm one comes out for T-Mobile. Until then, I'll be perfectly happy with what I have.
I really don't get this whole 3.5 debacle. HTC has been making devices with their proprietery USB audio connection for years. All of a sudden some high profile blog sites start clammering for 3.5 and everyone feels they cant live without a 3.5mm headphone jack.
I'm not trying to rant; I rarely use my phone for audio since I have a Zune. Could someone please explain to me why this is such a big deal. They way I see it, if you are buying a WinMo phone purely to listen to music you are wasting your money.

My biggest reason for wanting a separate headphone jack is so you can plug your headphones in at the same time as a power cable, so you can listen to your MP3s on power while keeping the battery fully charged.

I have to carry a cell phone. I need to carry a PDA. I want to carry a music player.
I don't want to carry more than one device and besides, wearing more than one headset at a time makes me look strange.

That's why A2DP is soo great. I love using it especially since cables always die out on me. My headphone jacks used to get caught on whatever and I'd be buying a new set of headphones for my discman back in the day at least once a month (one month I actually ended up buying three pairs). Which is why I don't care about the 3.5mm jack.
well .. first off bluetooths great but i get iffy reception sometimes when attached to my body lol and of course the sounds not great good but not great... also i personally did not buy this phone just for music because then ide get a feature phone .. but i love music and require it a standard in a 600$ phone. second you can use the adapter but.. it sticks out of your pocket and when you whip the thing out youve got this glorious phone with a hideous alien brick sticking straight out the side ... and last note... in my experience with any form of mini usb, it wears down and pretty qick dep. on usage .. if i constantly plug in and disconnect for charging and syncing thats bad enough but many many times a day when you using headphones and this usb port will be lose in a few months where you haver to wiggle it to make it work . this happened on my kaiser, mogul and a blackberry i had (on kaiser i had to eventually use a piece of folded tinfoil in the port just to get it to charge under a year old..) ... on topic- i really hope us t mobile users can eventually get a 3.5 mm like through warranty/insurance because i am PINING for it! lol

Wow! If everyone is planning on replacing their TP2 on warranty then it might make monetary sense for T-Mob to stick to only the USB versions. wow! wow! wow!
Sure, you get a built-in headphone jack, however, from what I read online, CDMA versions will not allow phonecall + data at the same time. Only once the 4G network comes out will this be possible on a CDMA phone. So all of these CDMA touch pro 2 future owners are giving up simultaneous DATA + voice for a headphone jack. Then again, those that are already on a CDMA network will notice no changes from before.

This is all a non-issue to me. From what I recall reading it is Tmo that specified they wanted their TP2 to be 3.5mm-less to HTC. So that is what HTC built for them. I wouldn't hold my breath for a TP2 from T-mo being 3.5mm inclusive at any point.
If I am in a location where I can charge my phone, I'll play the music through the speaker. It'll go through a headset if I'll be away from a power source (aka desk). And I have two options there, either the RC E100 remote (from my Kaiser days) which has a 3.5 jack or via A2DP with a Sony HBH-DS220 (3.5 jack), feeding a pair of Etymotic ER4P's with a 5" lead. Both have built in mics, keeps the phone holstered and out of sight.
I have my GNex mounted while I drive so that I can use the GPS. When I try to use voice controls on the freeway (ambient car noise is louder), I have to lean really close to the phone and yell for it to pick anything up.
Is it possible to use the heaphones/mic that came with the GNex so that sound comes out of the phone's main speakers (not the headphones), but it uses the mic on the headphones?
Might there be another free/cheap solution that I haven't thought of?
Strange. When I use it in my car I just set the phone in my lap and talk as normal (maybe a slightly raised voice) and don't have any issues. This is even the case on the highway with a relatively loud 3" turbo-back exhaust rumbling below me.
I have that problem too, I have to constantly yell at my phone while driving in the car. Any suggestions?

Haven't had any problems with yelling, but as of now the second u plug something into that headphone jack sound goes out whatever is plugged in, and you can't change the output as you would on a PC. I do use my bluetooth tho and then it'll pick up voice search and it won't push sound out anywhere except your main speaker. Plus they are dirt cheap now adays.

newbie here, looking for external mic info. one thing's for sure, you need to use the right connector. this is a 4 contact miniature jack standard to samsung and iphone. the nokia version is slightly smaller just to annoy people. the 4th connection carries external video connection so its' important to get the right audio connections, available from your friend google. also, you'll possibly have to tell the recorder which mic to use in settings somewhere. i use an excellent app called recforge pro.
good luck all
for the intrepid, as long as you get the right connections, any mic will do but the electret type are probably the best budget jobs. damage is extremely unlikely, unless you connect to the domestic electricity supply, a useful idiot-rid.
irig mic cast
Just an update on this:
I've finally received the irig mic cast and it works great with my note
How does it compare to the inbuilt mic?
Any chance you could upload some wav samples of each under the same conditions for reference?
I'm thinking about getting it, or something like it, to use with Audio Evolution and Loopstack.
thanks,
Rich
It's definitely clearer than the built in mic.
Also it's got a small volume switch for high/low sensitivity.
Another thing is that it's quite directional, which means that it records clearly the audio source in front of the mic and pads the background noise.
I'll record some files for you over the weekend.
Thanks.
One other thing, can you confirm that the headphone monitor out on the Mic Cast works with the Note?
ie. if you plug headphones in, can you hear what you are recording?
thanks,
Rich
Does the iRig MIC Cast work on the Note for regular phone calls and Voice-Over-IP apps like GrooveIP?

Sorry about the late reply. The real time monitoring feature is not available in any of the apps which I tested (e.g. Tape Machine Recorder, etc). I think that developers keep such a function disabled on purpose due to the well known latency issue on GB and ICS. Let's hope that google fixes this in Jelly Bean...

It works well for regular phone calls and skype, therefore it should work with other voip apps as well. If you use it for phone calls/voip you have to connect a set of hearphones/speakers to the sound output of the irig mic cast as the internal speaker of the note gets muted.

Just plug in the irig mic cast and then turn it around so that the front of the mic is on the same side as the camera lens. In this case I'd set the mic sensitivity switch to "hi".

Hi there,
As I was poking around I stumbled upon the above extermal mike, the seller claims to be the only one selling compatible external wired microphones. I'll keep you updated as soon as I get my hands on it.

Ego,
Hi
New to this forum. I play in a tribute band and we want to record some of our rehearsals. The camera on my note is really good but the external mic is waaaay too sensitive. I did use the supplied earpiece that comes with the note, which has a tiny mic, which worked really well recording really loud music off my mac speakers but not sure it will pick up enough frequencies in the rehearsal room. (I am going to try it live but in the meantime will and will put the recording of my mac up on youtube) However I used to use a Sony ecm ds70p on a mini disc years ago but it has long since gone. The live audio quality was always really good with this little mic so I am thinking of getting another one. As far as I am aware the Sony has only a three pole 3.5mm jack but I would need a mic with a 4 pole 3.5mm jack, (I think I have that right???) to be able to record into the Note.
Can someone confirm whether this mic will work out of the box...I have a feeling not...or is there a converter jack that I can buy that would allow the use of the three pole jack in a 4 pole socket. Really hoping this is possible and that there is something out there..problem is I am not too sure how to word a google or forum search on this.
Any help would be really great.
Many thanks
Think you guys might find this interesting. Just plugged in the standard ear buds halfway through and used the tiny mic on there...
I am not allowed to post the link as I haven't done enough posts! If you go to youtube and search for
eGcpHidB6VY you should find it. Worth a watch.
Cheers

This Microphone can't work. Look:
A headphone 4 pins (sound + mic) have 4 contact, beginning for the point are : Sound Left, Sound Right, Ground, Microphone.
If You see the 3º contact of microphone Sony is big then others. It make contact whit Ground + Microphne. Are short circuited.
Can't work this.
A external Mic can work but w/ a connector 4 pins, using only the 3º and the 4º contact (the 2 side cable).

Look here:

The connector have 4 contacts. The 1º and 2º from the point are the sound to white cable. The 3º is ground (common) and 4º are the Mic to black cable.
The question here is. This is a normal 3,5 pin like on Android's or is proprietary from Apple? On that site enter on Store and choice the Dealer more near You.
I am the first group to get the goggle pixel bud, the return two weeks later. The translation function is not as fancy as it claimed and that is the only reason I am interested. Holding the phone while talking and toward others while translating what others are talking, is not what I imagined. I thought it works as my ear, while others talking, it just translate simultaneously. But the translation is quite good, credit to the app, not the earbud.
Besides, it is hard to get a good hold onto my ear-I might did it the wrong way.
The price is over rated too
My second headset is SONY h.ear on2. Very fancy and slightly cost more that pixel bud. The problem with it is, the microphone is built in and on the outside part, so it picked up and amplify the environmental noise. It is annoying to the other side during a phone call.
I have to go back to the wired earbud which had microphone, like the iPhone 6 one. Then it comes the C port adapter. Simply it did not connected. Not sure why, but it just did not recognize the earbud.
I am still on the quest of a good headset compatible with pixel2. It seems to be Bluetooth, noise canceling microphone.
Any recommendations?
