Hi,
Is there a way to use the Captivate's 3.5mm jack as an audio input jack instead of audio output? I'm wondering if there's a way to use the phone as an audio recorder since it has such a large internal memory

Sure, the earbuds that came with the phone have a mic - you won't get stereo recording, but you can get mono recording.

thanks, but i was actually wondering if there were a way to get stereo recording?
There is only a single audio in line - so unless you can simulate stereo with one input, I don't think so.

Hi All,
I'm a bit lost with this one and cant quite seem to find\word what I am looking for in my searches.
I basically just want to connect an audio input into my Desire. I assume this is possible as the headphone jack has a Mic input functionality. Any ideas? I am thinking of a short cable that plugs into the headphone socket and has a female 3.5mm jack on the other end into which a standard microphone\aux input can be plugged?
I guess its possible but you would only get mono input for recording, afaik the kernel controls how the headset input is operated and all 3 contacts need to have contact.
Yes, it will definitely be a mono input... But I doubt the quality of the recording from such input...

Thanks guys. Mono only is not a problem as I only want to record spoken word for a podcast. Would be interesting to see how good the quality is (voice recording works well using the supplied headset)

I have an external mic (called an iRig Mic) that connects to a phone with a headset-jack.
On an iPhone it can be used to record audio when shooting videos, but when i connect it to my Nexus S running android, the sound from the mic is not recorded. Instead the audio from the internal mic i used.
Is there any way to change the audio source when recording videos? This would be a great feature for journalists using their phone as a camcorder for interviews.
Recording audio via 3.5 jack on android using external microphone
You have to buy adapter which will split the signal for microphone in and audio out (you probably know 3.5 jack in your phone is 2 directional as it supports headset with mic)
You can try to look for it on Amazon (headset buddy)
or solder into headset in the pins which are responsible for mic signal.
Then,
I know only 1 app for android which supports recording from external microphone:
Arabela Audio Recorder - choose DEFAULT audio source and it should catch the signal from external mic connected through adapter via 3.5 jack.
I THINK it can catch the audio while recording video because it works in background ... so later you will be able to remove the audio from video recording and join it with the one you recorded using Arabela with some kind of video editor
regards
couple of questions,
for the external mic is it stereo or mono?
any other programs you know that can capture external mic input since this post?
thanks!

Hey guys is their anyway we can get a line out mod in any of the custom roms. There isn't a way to use this feature currently that I'm aware. Any help would be great and I think that this is a much needed feature for audiophiles and/or people looking to listen to their music via aux input in their automobiles.
how specifically are you trying to mod the line-out? Make it output via FM Radio? Or make it output louder audio from the AUX port? If so, I know you can use an auxilary ampifier to make it louder, but software wise I no of no such thing. There probably is something out there, I'm just too lazy to look
Where would I find a aux amplifier at?

Can't say I understand what you are trying to achieve. Could you elaborate it a little more?
When you try to hook up your GN to a aux input or say a pair of speakers, the volume is unlistenable to say the least. Their is no way that I know of to improve this sound or quality that I have found. For info more see this link http://www.head-fi.org/t/582179/samsung-galaxy-nexus/60
Use Volume+ 1.8 . It will boost the headset volume to whatever level u need. Search for it in the forums. That should solve ur problem!

Get one from Dealextreme. I use the FiiO E5 to take the audio signal from my Xbox 360 cable straight into my headphones. You just connect the E5 inline with the two 3.5mm connectors and it has a volume control independent of the source!

Hey All -
Here is what I'd like to do. I'd like to know if I can use my phone's microphone while in my car for hands-free, while still outputting the sound to my car's stereo through bluetooth.
Is this possible and do you know how well the microphone quality would be if it is, assuming the phone is mounted on the upper dash? Thanks!
Hello. Does anyone know how to defeat the problem with stereo? I record video but stereo is not felt. In the media info writes 2 channels of stereo but there is no sound on it. Tried to close the microphone one at a time, so the top one writes a bit silly, and the bottom one is normal but there is no stereo. How to be? Firmware 9.2.2.0
I understand the stereo does not work for us?
