[Q] Record sound from external mic?

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!

[Q] Samsung Bluetooth Headset HM1100

Unable to listen music via Samsung Bluetooth Headset HM1100.
I have tried in Latest nightly, Stock froyo and in modded Froyo (Jokerdroid 4.2)
It seems that the A2DP function is not supported by wildfire for HM1100.
Whether anyone can confirm or can provide any application for the same would be highly grateful to me...

wildfire does support A2DP
my phone works seamlessly with Samsung SBH-650
i never tried jokerdroid, but it works very wel with cyanogenmod

i have tried it with cyanogen mod too....didnt get sucess

From what i see on samsung's website the headset you are talking about is not a stereo bluetooth headset so the chances that it will support music playback are acute.
You can check 2 things though,
1. Long press on the paired headset in bluetooth settings and check if the media option is available, if yes activate it and you can play music.
2. Pair the headset with a normal wildfire (unrooted, s-on) and try the same.
But remember,
Not all handsets play music via normal (single earpiece) bluetooth headsets so if it doesnt work wildfire is one of them..

What technical aspect makes it not to play music. Its so disappointing.....My friends Nokia 5800 plays music on the Samsung HM1100 bluetooth single piece headset...but my HTC Desire HD doesn't.

I think because many Nokia phones output audio in mono to bluetooth devices. My N9 worked with a Samsung and Motorola mono bluetooth headset but my Xperia T can only connect to these same headsets for telephone calling.

Bluetooth mic not working

Hello everyone,
I paired my LG Tone HBS-700 with the Nexus 7. Audio works flawlessly but when it comes to microphone ...
When making a call in Skype or Viber I can't get the mic on the bluetooth headset to work. I can only hear audio. The mic on the tablet works fine but hey I bought a bluetooth headset to get away from the tablet and relax on the bed.
Any solutions?

I think this is known. Corded headset with mic doesn't work either.

I've griped on end over this and searched so I'll save you some time. It seems no app except for grooveip works with bluetooth recording. I haven't tried grooveip myself but others say it definitely works. If it wasn't for grooveip, I would suspect the proper audio profile isn't there in the nexus 7. I wish a dev could confirm this. I wouldn't have thought bluetooth mics would be a big thing. In my ignorance I assumed it would become your 'sound device' when paired and any app that attempted to record/capture audio would be re-routed to the bluetooth device. If it is a matter of apps being properly coded, maybe we'll have I dunno, 4 or 5 apps that work properly with bluetooth in a couple of years.
Yeah I'm being a little cynical but I was surprised how poor bluetooth support is when it doesn't seem to be the case on the bb/ipad side. The other disappointment with bluetooth is audio sync with gaming. So travelling and I feel like gaming I have to switch to a wired headset. I read it's an issue with bluetooth itself, but confirmed with a couple of friends the sync issue doesn't happen on playback or ipad.
Just to add it's not just gaming. Basically you'll only have audio sync with movies that are hardware decoded (e.g. when using google's movie player or youtube app), but try and play an xvid etc. So I think you'll find audio playback isn't flawless either.

I have had no problems with A2DP on both my Note 1 and Note 2.
Having you checked that "Media Audio" is selecting in the pairing options on the Nite for your head unit?

[Q] SGH-I927 Bluetooth A2DP not working ?

So I just purchased my second Jabra Wave thinking I had a problem with the first one. I can connect my Captivate Glide with Android 4.0.4 version I927UCLJ3. It pairs and does work with a phone call however, the "A2DP" doesn't seam to work or I cannot find the correct place for settings. I want to stream my audio out to my mono Jabra Wave Bluetooth from music and things like my Pandora. I know both of the Jabra Wave headsets now do support it by using my wifes phone, pairing them and they play audio just fine and they both listed and both Jabra Wave part numbers I have say they support A2DP but no where in the phones menu settings can I find how to send the "music" audio to the bluetooth. I was also hoping the bluetooth mic would be able to be used for my voice to text engine. Has anyone gotten their audio routed to a mono bluetooth and if so, how did you send the audio to it?
