[Q] Line-in recording - Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anybody know of a way one can record sound from the headphone jack on the DHD? I want to record something from a line out and I figured to connect it to my phone using the 2xRCA-3.5mm cable, but couldn't find an app for it... Anyone found a way?

any sound recording app will do it, u just have to feed the audio into the mic ring on the connector. cant just feed audio backwards into an amplifier and record it. you will only get mono recording ability though.

Got a scheme/picture which ring is the mic ring? And can it take line-out/record-out loudness, or do I have to cut it down? Also, I'm pretty sure that when I plug in normal headphones which don't have a microphone the DHD uses its own, how exactly does it recognize a plugged in mic?

Im not sure offhand which it is. id dig around in google, any of the standard headsets work as its a standard for which ring is the mic. im just at work and dont have the moment to search it out. line out volume sohuld work fine, but any amplified or even headphone outputs could be too much for it.
i had an adapter i made for hooking my guitar to my ipad a while ago but dont know where i put it lol.

Nice, guess I'll get into researching, one more thing for me to play with...
Thank you for your time...

2 questions/problems regarding car dock

1. The music widget type thing in the dock app just repeats 5 or 6 songs... I've fiddled with all these settings and it does the same thing.
2. When talking to people on the phone I hear the persons voice through my phone speaker, how do I get it to play through my car speakers? I think I might have to turn speaker phone off because that's how it worked with the tape adapter.
Never live in the past but always learn from it.
Anyone?

This probably wont help you but I'll post anyhow. I just plug in my aux jack to the phone, all the audio pumps thru there.

Does the microphone on the phone still work this way? Considering the aux cable doesn't have a mic built into it like other hands-free headsets.
Figured out why I was only hearing like 5 songs.
Apparently you're supposed to have the stock music player set to "party shuffle" and then that widget in the car dock app works great. Plays all songs.
And I'll try talking with somebody with the phone not in speaker phone, I'm pretty sure it will work so that they can hear me, and I can hear them through car speakers.
Oh and I called Moto and the lady talked sooooo slow, and verified everything I said like 4 times, just to say that she could just replace it. Didn't even know how to troubleshoot.
Is it impossible to edit the widgets that come pre-loaded in the car dock app?

Bluetooth and headphone jack

I have an Acura, and every bluetooth phone I have had in the past I could pair with the car, and plug in an Aux line to the headphone jack to listen to music, then if a call came in, it would come through my spearkers.
Now with the EP4g, it comes through the speakers, but no one can hear me, and I can't hear them until I unplug the aux line.
Anyone else have a problem?
i had a conference call on my phone in the car via my AUX input today. The parties were heard through the speakers of the car and they were able to hear me, but complained about a really bad echo and that I was VERY hard to hear. These in car conference calls were fine on my EVO with the same setup. I have not tried the in car bluetooth yet as I didn't think I would need it. Will be trying that next.
Just did a test with my Nissan and had to pull out the AUX cable before I could hear the other end on my speakers. The other end said they could hear me the entire time.
Something is going on with the aux cable. I really like the phone, but I don't like trying to figure **** out.

I was under the impression that the mic becomes disabled when the AUX cable is in. Had similar behavior on my old Palm Centro. It went into "headset" mode and the mic turned off. In my thread, someone said that it is working fine. Perhaps there is something else causing it?
Do you use or does the Samsung voice dial app automatically launch when you put your aux cable in? Mine does. The mic does not work for it either. Maybe its the culprit?
***** My issue was fixed by changing the TTY settings *****
Settings>Call Settings>TTY mode>TTY VCO
Its just an aux cable, no mic to it. I plug it in and dont see anything in the status bar and no apps launch.
Right, but when the AUX cable is put in, the Microphone on the epic is disabled, at least that's my working theory. IDK, maybe its just something with mine, but at the moment, no-one can hear me when the aux cable is installed, and i cannot use the voice search applications

I will give that a try, any idea what that mode does? Manual doesn't really help.

VCO stands for Voice carry over. I could be wrong on the exact purpose, but i understand that it is designed to allow those with hearing impediments but capable of speaking to use their own voice while their speaker is hooked up to another device to assist in hearing.
Basically, it keeps the microphone on the device "ON" while the audio is outputted to another device. In our case, the car speakers.
Otherwise, when the device is outputting audio, it is looking for another source of voice input. If you car had a hands-free option built in, it would work just fine without changing the setting as the voice input would be coming from the hands free option.
Just a guess really. Glad its working for me, hope it works for you!
Yes it wierd, My car does have bluetooth built in, but when the aux cable is plugged in it doesn't send sound to the handsfree. Not sure what the issue is.

Can anyone also confirm that this works?
I have an iphone 4s right now, but I really want to go back to android and get a GSII, but that bluetooth problem was a big hassle when I had the Epic 4G. However, with the Epic 4G, someone wrote an app that would allow you to reroute sound through bluetooth with the aux was plugged in. I'm hoping there's a fix out there...

[Q] Line Out Mod

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!

[Q] Making calls using a headphone without built-in microphone?

I am looking for a solution which can be (just) a setting or an extra app.
I don't like the sound of the stock headphone, so i listen music with another headphone but it doesn't have a microphone on it. if i got a call while listening music i have to remove the headphone and then use the phone without them.
here is what i am really looking for:
-is there a setting which we can tell the os/phone that the headphone we are using has or doesn't have microphone. so that we can use phones microphone.
-is there an app which can tell the os/phone that the headphone we are using has or doesn't have microphone. so that we can use phones microphone.
Thanks.

USB-C Audio in recording

Has anyone tried this?
I'm trying to record audio straight from a source like a vinyl player or a pocket operator. Would anyone know how I would be able to do this.
As the port is used for ear buds and you can speak on teh phone through the buds and be heard the functionality of audio capture is there.
I record my phone calls and use the mic on my buds to capture my voice.
Stands to reason that any other mic you can connect via the port should be able to work as well.
You will probably just need to make sure whatever adapter you use is compatible.
Not all usb C-audio jack dongles work.
DAC is the tech that has to exist if memory serves.
