I have done several tests with my old Galaxy S here:

Everything still apply with the LGOG.
So, basicaly, what it tells us is that you can use an external microphone with an adaptator.
For the adaptator, you can make one yourself,
find the Philips DVDP01 like this one and use only the adapter

Or use the 3.5mm trrs to 3 RCA that can be used for portable DVD player, then use an adaptater to go from RCA to whatever you need.
What this means, also, is that you can use the "line in" of the 4 connector to plug whatever you want for your video.
Il most likely make the adapter with the needed connector in the current weeks, I'll keep you posted on the "How To"
BTW: If you like my work and think it's worth a drink, use the "donate to me" button, right under my name!

What Recording program are you using? I tried the default app but it didn't seem to be recording through my Mic, just the internal one. I have a shure sm-11 that has a 3.5mm plug on it. Its a dynamic cardioid Mic , if that makes a difference.

I'm using the stock video recorder.
Are you pluging the mic directly on the phone or do you use an adapter to get the right connection?

Yes, the mic has the correct connection, no adapter needed.
I got it straightened out. I was using the default voice recorder app, which I doesn't seem/sound like its using the external Mic. Which is a bummer.
However using the video recorder does accept the external Mic.
Great find !

Scratch that. Upon further review it doesn't seem to be using the external mic in the video app.

I don't think it's the microphone in problem here, but rather the fact that you are not using any adapter
You can't go from TRRS to a mic and expect it to "translate" it instantly.
TRRS is using the third and last ring for the mic, if you plug int a standard microphone into that, it'll take the tip and the ring for mic.
You have to make it so that the ring 3 and 4 are used as the tip and ring, with an adaptor

Remote that controls music?

is there a remote out there that can change the songs and what not on the evo...my van has a dvd player connected to the ceiling and i hook up an auxiliary cable to it and play music through the car speakers that way, sometimes a song comes on that i dont want to hear and its kinda of a pain to have to turn on and unlock the phone, i was hoping there might be a controller out there that connects with bluetooth or something i can hook up on the dash somewhere and just hit one button to skip songs, etc.
:/
+1 I need of those on my car
If you use cyanogenmod theres an option for holding down the volume rockers to skip forwards or backward. Otherwise I don't think theres a remote.

I know there are auxillary Bluetooth receivers that allow you to play music. I imagine some might have controls on them. EBay is your friend.

I know your not looking for a headset but this one has a remote, you can still make the sounds go out the AUX port.

It might look kind of funny holding a headset to change songs lol
the only thing i can think of is dowloading remote for itunes, plugging a laptop to the aux cables, having another phone tether wireless, connect the remote for itunes to the itunes through the wireless that the other phone is tethering.. but thats alot of trouble.. lol
Hmm. Headphones wouldn't work since the auxiliary is adlready in use.. what about bt headphones? Can you use both at the same time?
Gimme a couple a days to come up with a new sig that is cool.
Try searching for the Satechi BT Media remote. About $40 on amazon. Works great for changing tracks and volume on my phone.

[Q]Random Song-Skipping

Hello Guys and (Girls)
I've got a lil problem which is really pissing me. I can't listen to music normal. Allways the songs are skipping or restart whatever. Sometimes it also just phones someone, while im listning to music
I tryed 3 diffrent Headphones of Phillips, Zenheiser and Apple. They all didn't got a Mic or something to skip songs.
But they are showed as a Headset on my phone. Sometimes they dosn't show up as that, than it works perfectly.
Is there a way to disable the headset functionality or whatever.
WHAT CAN I DO???
Best Regards
safari
Does the skipping occur when using another media player such as DoubleTwist?
Are you rooted? If so which ROM have you got?
I got a rooted phone.
I'm using Android Revolution 5.1.10.
And its in every music-player also in the stock one.
Normaly i use the player called "MusicMod"
It occurs while i walk/run/jump or get on the cable with my fingers near the headphone port. Sometimes also with no reason.
try to clean to 3.5mm you may have dirt there..
just a question, when you plug the headphone to your dhd, do you see an icon of a headphone or headphone with mic on the top bar near the clock?

You might want to try another ROM after all the other suggestions because I had the exact same problem on Cyanogen but not on any other ROM. Any random movement would mess about with the music player.
ok, i have same problem with buttons when i turn them off itsok but i wannabe able to skip track while im running, i notice something strange when i look at the back of the phone (at 3.5mm jack) i see bronse color, i think its wires inside of phone, anyone of you guys with same buttons problems can see that on their phones? so i can moveon my next diagnose if you dont see it

Weird Problem...Any solution?

When I try to use my headphones the phone suddenly opens music player by itself and changes songs continiously. I go to settings and force stop the music player. After a while it opens the music player again. While I'm listening a song it starts to change songs suddenly. I tried many ROMs but its always same. What can be the problem ?
I used ARHD, Virtuous Unity, RCMix 3D....
Incompatible headphones. The OEM headphones has a switch that does these functions. Guessing you are using a set of non oem headphones. The oem headphones have more rings on the plug than a standard set of headphones. That much larger ring is bridging out the connection causing you issues when you first plug them in. Then slightly moving the plug may cause your issues to happen as you are listening.
I use a set with a built in mic/mic button and do not have these issues. But a set without a mic or switch will cause this. As the jack gets looser your symptoms will get worse.
I use Phillips SHS3200. I can't use OEM headphones cause they fall from my ears. I have to use headphones with hooks. What can you recommend? I was planning to buy a Sennheiser.

You can pick up a mic adapter cable like this and plug your headphones into it.

Pic pulled from ebay search of "mic headphone adapter". The remote button can then be used to start and stop your music.
Here is the listing

You should be able to find something like this in your local cellphone/electronics store.
I actually took my HTC oem headphones apart at the switch and soldered a better pair of headphones into it. I prefer the ones that set in the ear canal compared to the large uncomfortable ones HTC gives you.
You didn't say if you used the default musicplayer. I know some players have settings to forcestart when headphones are plugged in. Some players also have a "shake/turn/flip/give finger-setting to change tunes. But in the end, it's probably as poster above said. Incompatible headset...
Try an app called 'Headset Blocker' by 'Roadkill' it worked for me. It was suggested to me by someone else on the forums a month or so ago, works fine.

Strange Bug: Rhythmic Disturbance when on call with Screen ON + Using Headset

This is one problem which seems to be driving me crazy. There is a rhythmic disturbance while calling which the other person on the call seems to hear. I'm using 3.2.1 on OP3. It can be reproduced by:
On call + connected on headset
The sound comes when the screen is on
The sound turns off when the screen is off
The issue does not arise if headset is not connected
Rebooting did not fix the issue.
I was able to reproduce this by calling my secondary handset.
I was able to reproduce this on multiple headsets.
Not sure if sharing the sound can help debug.

I thought this was my headphones issue . im also facing similar issue. call quality is ok if i remove the headphones.
Phew!
It's sadistic but I am actually glad I am not the only one with this problem. Hope it's a software issue though and that it can be patched soon. Getting the phone replaced will be really painful. Didn't know though that the noise goes away if screen is off.

Sorry, forgot to mention that I spoke to the "experts" at the oneplus call centre. Made me clear the cache although not before suggesting that I use only the Oneplus earphones or jbl ones. I use senheiser so... Sad to say clearing the cache did not help. (Not like I was expecting it to!).
Same problem here.
Used many earphones but same issue. The listener on other side of call complains abouts strange noise made during the call while using earphones. Should i send OP3 for repair?

Peugeot 508 with JBL amplifier cannot run Android unit, cut off the sound in 3 second

Hi, I bought Peugeot 508 with factory integrated JBL 5.1 sound system with already fitted Andoid (A-media, RK3188, 5.1.1, MTCE_MX ) already canbus decoder (no brand, just sign for 2008) connected to the unit.
All signals from the steering wheel and buttons are working. Wipers, fuel level, volume, clima, etc... So the canbus is doing his job, except for the audio.
I tried different ROMs factory, Malaysk, Hal9k, with different versions of MTCE_MX from 2.96 to 3.30, but the same result.
I found a video having totally the same behaviors as mine:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Eb2N_9NF2c
If I move the volume control I got perfect sound for 3 seconds than cuts off....so if I'm moving the volume up and down contentiously I'm never loosing the sound, but it will show on the screen volume up-down all the time.
I tried all manufactures and types in the CANBUS sub-menu but all has the same result - no sound or sound 2-3 seconds and cut out.
In my mind the canbus adapter doesn't send sync signal to the JBL amplifier and then amp is cutting the sound, but I'm not sure.
Cannot be too high levels of the signal, because I can turn the volume up to the end and still is keeping perfect sound for 3 sec and cut off.
I also tried to change the type of amp with lexia there are 2 types "other" and "RT5", both has negative result.
Observations:
1. Without canbus module is no sound at all when the unit is connected in the car.
2. With Lexia diagniostic utility test of the Amplifier is completed without any issues, I can hear all speakers and sub.
3. I tried to connect the Android unit out of the car with directly connected speakers without Canbus, and all is working fine.
So for me is 3 solutions now:
1. Check with different canbus module box, but looks like every different manufacturer is producing its own canbus modules... My Android device is having brand A-Media ((MX) MAI_XIN Shenzhen Mai Xin Da Technology Co. Ltd) and there is no any support I found.
2. Find diagram for the AMP to catch where the signal is expected
3. Find app in google play to emulate up and down volume every second
4. Find the file responsible for CAN audio and change it with working one, if any.
If someone knows what can be done, or just ideas... please lae me know!
Thanks in advance!

I have the same car with same setup. I had the same problem when installing the head unit. It's easy to fix. Just go to the "Factory settings" and select the same settings like on the picture.

The difference is:
Aircondition : type1

I will update MCU and revert.
Also mine is RK3188 and your is RK3368.
Thanks a lot again, I will keep you posted!
