[Q] Making calls using a headphone without built-in microphone? - Samsung Galaxy W I8150

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.

Does HTC (plug to 3.5mm) YC A200 have a built in-mic?

http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=163156
for use with normal 3.5mm earphones? so i dont have to unplug it when i make phone calls?
cause i got this ( http://www.amazon.com/Stereo-Audio-Converter-11pins-3-5mm/dp/B000X64GC4/ref=pd_sbs_a_img_1 )but i hate the idea of plugging it out from the phone when i want to make a phone call..
Nope. No microphone on the cable. Though you can use your phone like a microphone kinda.
I dont know what the engineers at HTC were thinking when they designed it. The idea is great but the result is not that good. Because it makes your phone 10,5 cm longer. Solved it with some hardcore modding with a rubberband.

oh thank you for yr reply sir,
is there a registry setting that i can change to enable the microphone on the phone?
so while listening with my ipod 3.5mm earphone, if there's a incoming call with this device on, i have to unplug it so that the other party can hear my voice?

No, the microphone is enabled when the 3.5mm phones are plugged in.
Unplug the phones is an option, though i tend to hold my phone as a microphone and talk into the handset while having my headphones on.
oh so to double confirm I do not have to unplug it when making a call as it would automatically enable the phones mic?
Need to make sure as the third party plugs does not enable it
That is correct.

[Q] Music out volume

I have plugged my phone into my surround sound system using the headphone socket but the music out volume is very very quiet. Tried in the car also connecting it to the car stereo but again very quiet. Plugging my ipod in this way both times and the music is perfectly loud. Is this a bug or does anyone know a solution. I was going to buy a new car stereo so i can stream music to it via bluetooth. Will this also be ridiculously quiet??
I'm guessing that you've already tried turning the volume up?

Yes I have turned the volume right up.
Are you being serious that it's loud?? Is that because your using an unofficial rom?

I thought as much, I'm using CM7, but I have used the stock HTC ROM to listen to music on my HiFi. And there were no problems with the volume.
Are you using the same 3.5mm jack to connect your phone to your car & HiFi at home?
Yeah using the same 3.5mm jack on th phone but different lead each time. As I say with iPod it's fine. Through headphones the volume is fine and too loud when turned right up but it's when connecting to other audio equipment it's just so quiet and very poor quality.
That's odd, sadly short of a factory reset, which probably won't fix it anyway. I've no more ideas

I also have the same problem, I've plugged mine into my car stereo and it does not go loud enough, I'm wondering if it could be a fault.
Maybe a problem with the latest firmware update that they pulled (2.2.1) as I didn't try it before then I'm not sure. Thanks for your replys so far. Any othe thoughts??

[Q] Headphone Issues

I use my Desire HD for music playback and when using headphones I have strange problems.
I have used 3 different pairs of headphones with this phone spread over about 10 ish months. Each pair have headphones have been standard stereo headphones with no mic or in-line controls. The issue I get is something when I plug the headphones in they are recognized in the notification bar as headphones with mic (signified by the little icon) and other times just plain headphones which they are.
If they are recognized as having a mic, randomly while listening the phone will pause the music and ring the last called person in my call history.
I have no idea why they do this but it only happens when they are recognized as having a mic (which I'm 100% sure they don't). To get round this I unplug and plug them back in until they are recognized as just stereo headphones. This works for an hour or so of music playback until it will randomly recognize them as having a mic again and start calling someone.
As you can imagine this is VERY annoying.
Does anyone know why this is and how I can fix it?
Thanks in Advance.
I think I had this problem before. But it occurs when I use the stock htc handsfree. I could hear static noise and my phone will start to call the last called person. I don't know how I solved it, but i guess it is related with my jack-in or the snd3254 dspmode configuration. I'm not sure though.

I have never used the stock headphone since they sound pretty awful.
I do hope someone has a way of fixing this.

Enable Microphone while using 3.5mm jack

Ive noticed that the microphone is being disabled when using my 3.5mm audio cable. Its easier for me to update my phone than it is my car stereo, so bluetooth is not an option. Id like to be able to be hands free while driving like my evo3d allows. I dont know of an option to enable it, anyone have any ideas?
When the cable is in, it seems the mic is disabled in all apps. Voice search wont work, phone wont work... Bummer!

[Q] Line-in recording

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...
