[Q] Hook Up an External Mic to the Kindle Fire?

So I read on the Amazon Forums that you can use a iPod headset(with mic included) on the KFire like a microphone. So basically it's like a headphone and a microphone in one jack. Would this work?
Here is are some examples:

That could well be - the plug on those headsets have an extra conductor to handle the mic + stereo. Anyone try them?

I was wondering this also. Has anybody tried this? I would like to know before I buy the headset.

So no-one has tried this? I'd try it myself but I don't have an iPod headset. I have a gaming headset but it has two separate jacks for microphone/headphone.

I have a pair of those somewhere, but unfortunately no Kindle Fire just yet.

I see. Man if only someone could try and see if this works.

Wait a sec, would a 3.5 mm jack splitter (the one that makes 2 things plug into 1 port) work for this? That could help those that have separate mic and headphones possibly anyways. I mean obviously it's not the best method but that should let us check proof of concept.

That's exactly what I was referring to. The iPod headsets and some other brands have that feature. I do not have a pair and wanted someone to test it before buying.

A splitter wouldn't help. I'm looking at one now, and it has a 3-conductor plug (called a TRS), just like a plug for stereo headphones. The plug on a mic/headphones combo is a TRRS, and has 4 conductors. I thought I had one laying around, but the plug size is 2.5mm, from an old Blackberry I had.
I'm gonna go and look in the trunk of my car. I'm sure I have one...

See if you can find one to test. Download Google Voice and call yourself and see if the microphone works. Get someone to go to another room and see if you can talk to them.
If this works then we can use Skype and GVoice.

I found a pair in my car - IT WORKS!!
I downloaded and installed an audio recording app, and made a 10-second recording. It picked up my voice very loud. The mind reels at the possibilities...

WooHoo it works! Someone should sticky this thread. Could you find me a good pair I can buy on Amazon?

Actually I don't remember where I got these; I think it came as part of a package when I bought a suction-cup car mount for my smartphone - it came with a dc charger and the mount. So, I can't recommend any kind in particular.

These are for the Samsung EHS60, but would these work with the Kindle Fire?
Sent from my Kindle Fire using xda premium

I'm sure they would work; as I said earlier, these headphone/mic combos have a 4-conductor plug (a TRRS), to accommodate two stereo channels for the headphones plus the mic (audio left, audio right, mic, and neutral). A normal stereo headset has a 3-conductor plug called a TRS (left, right, and neutral).

Somewhere around here I have a stereo microphone with a 3.5mm plug. What a kick it would be if it can actually record in stereo (I kind of doubt it, though). Let me go look for that now...

Thanks, I think I'll make a guide for this later

Sweet. It's not a huge deal for me off the top of my head, but I can only guess as to what this could open up. Skype and what not would be a sweet thing to have on it just for when I don't feel like sitting at my desk.

Here are some good IEM's: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16826735014
I use them with my Nexus S, works awesome! Any IEM should work with the Kindle, since the port is capable of accepting.

My only thing is they are all ear buds, most of the time they don't fit very well in my ears and can even cause my ears to hurt. Will have to try some stuff out once I get my Kindle in.

[Q] Connect Epic Touch to iPhone compatible car stereo?

I just got jvc car stereo http://www.bestbuy.com/site/JVC+-+5...back/4005163.p?id=1218447374174&skuId=4005163 from best buy.
It has usb port and says that I can play mp3,wma and few other formats from iphone.I tried pluging in my Epic and it doesnt recognize it.
My question is: Do anyone know if there is an app or some type of usb adaptor that I can use to play my music on iphone usb accessories?Or any other method?
All these devices are iphone compatible but we android users(majority) are left in the dust for now,although they starting to support android but cost double the price.

Try to put it in USB mode

Probably will work on my jvc,jvc and kenwood merged into one company so their stereos are almost identical.There is even jvc/kenwood app in the market that supposed to connect to kenwood receivers.
Im gonna try it tomorow and see if app and methods above work.

Most car stereos now come with an auxiliary port as well, you can play music from almost any device using an auxiliary cable.

WHat I'm looking for as a bluetooth-to-ipod-dock adaptor.
Sprint used to sell one on their website, but, I can't find anything about them anywhere. Everything takes a goddamned ipod dock. I want to get a new head unit for my truck but I refuse to pay the extra $150 for the bluetooth receiver when all I want is an am/fm radio with a blue-tooth input. screw wires.
Unless anyone knows a good $100-$150 head unit that comes with bluetooth and puts out 35-45w. Nothing fancy.

The Sony head unit I bought several months ago seems to fit that bill. You're checking Crutchfield.com right? That site is awesome for aftermarket car stereos. I think I paid $140 for the Sony XPLOD I bought with free shipping and the kit for my car included. I forget the watts, but it has Bluetooth and front USB and Aux ports. There's lots of other options around that price point from other manufactures as well.

I boycott Sony any chance I get, but, thanks for reminding me of Crutchfield. I haven't seen that name since I was a teenager and spent all of my money on my car stereo...for years, lol.
There are plenty of bluetooth options that at 14-20w, but, I think I still have an old MTX 25 watter around here that, when bridged down to 1ohm-stereo, will show those speakers who's boss.
Thanks again.

Ok so I got a Kenwood kdc-248u back about 6 months ago. At the time I was on T-mobile with my HD2 running a nice miui rom. I decided to plug my phone in to the usb port because guys like sticking things in things... Now it didn't give me track info, but it was playing what seemed like the files that were in my google music temp folder. Even lacking the track info (just showed a number) it was fantastic because I had my music on random while my phone was charging. The skip track and pause work too. I left T-mobile after the first time I was "capped" for using too much google music and at the slow speed nothing works. Hence coming to Sprint. BUT my Sammy no workie with stereo. Tried many methods including the above mentioned. I was waiting for the official release of ICS because I had read that google music and ICS are supposed to integrate better and offer usb support. But now I am running a FC14 rom and still no sign that my phone and stereo will speak the same language unless some the fine devs here decided to take up the challenge.. Cheers!!!

I use doubletwist player from the market. The player is free, and has add on stuff you can buy lile wifi sync.... But it has a setting to use as auto usb mode. I say give ot a shot. I don't have the right stereo, so maybe you can test it for me....

A possible alternative..?
I ran across a device called a Mimic while I was building a PC into my car that might be helpful. The Android version is still in development, but the idea is right on track.
As I understand it, any phone that can export video (may require micro-HDMI...) will be able to hook up to this and the touchscreen and car speakers will become the phone's display, control and sound output.
To keep the radio / CD function of the existing head unit, the screen will have to be mounted outside the dash or as a pop-out in the 2nd slot of a double-DIN dash.
Kinda pricey, to be sure, but it at least appears to be a step in the right direction...

Audio aux in Saab doesn't connect with sgs3

Does anyone else drive a Saab? Are you having problems with your phone connecting to aux? It works if I unhook the cord real quick from the car and push play on the phone and hook it back in. Just wondering if anyone has a fix or an adapter? I know it's the Saab input for the aux, just trying to find a way around it.
Tried buying a new cable and that wasn't it. Found a thread on another website but no answers, just questions.

Yeah, I have the same problem. I tried adding more cable length to see if it would change the impedance, but nothing helped. I was able to find an app called Headset Router that allowed you to play a song, but after it finished, it would stop.
I am going to return the phone today for the HTC 1x

What is weird is it works in my truck.. it's a Saab issue.

Aux Bluetooth car adaptors?

Anyone know of an adapter that can plug into the aux jack on a car that has Bluetooth on board so I can be fully wireless in the car? Been looking but if someone has one they can recommend it would be great.

Search eBay or amazon. I have one from miccus that I use in my range rover. No issues. If I'm streaming music via Bluetooth and a call comes in, it hands over the call to the factory Bluetooth radio. Once calls are over, it automatically switches back to music.

this is what ive been using. routes both music and phone calls through speakers. just had to get a cable to go from this to the aux in on my stereo. charges with the same type of cable as phone and a full charge lasts quite a while.

I have this one:

It's very small, and you can use it without the power cable to reduce clutter. The battery lasts ~6 hours. Sound quality is good, but it won't turn on automatically when you start the car.

Ok I'm assuming you want it for your HTC One. Because, HTC One has Apt-x compatible bluetooth 4.0 and that is a god bless. Even iphone 5 doesn't have it. But, you need to have an apt-x compatible device at the other end too so that you'll fully utilize this cd quality sound option.
Simply put; what you'll search for is an apt-x receiver. Try Avantree Cara, Kinivo BTC450 or HTC Stereo Clip (A200). They all are aptx compatible and with the HTC One they sound beautiful. BTW HTC Stereo clip only streams music.
I've chosen Avantree because it had better reviews.
Trust me, I know what I'm talking about. A2DP is old news.

I like that one from the Amazon link that doubles as a hands free calling adapter as well. I had no idea these things existed. Im going to follow the thread a bit more and do some research into them. I am VERY interested in using this method. Coming over from an iPhone I miss the single cable to control and charge my phone through my stereo in the truck. I didnt think of that when I was getting my Android phone. I guess I assumed that the USB cable would work like it does on the iPhone once I plug it into the USB port on my stereo.

I've been using this one in my car, very nice, audio quality is good thanks to being able to handle aptX. The dongle has an onboard microphone that you can use for calls, and also has two buttons at the top for previous/next track when playing music. Overall, pretty nice.
(Argh, I'm not allowed to post links yet, so search Amazon for "Kinivo BTC450")
I have two issues with this particular bluetooth adapter. The first is that it only remembers one device pairing, so you'd have to go through the whole pairing process if you wanted to use other devices with it. The second was that in my car, I experienced a ground loop buzzing. I can't really explain to you what the phenomenon is, and it doesn't happen in everyone's car, but I ended up getting one of these which successfully got rid of the buzzing. You plug this thing in between the bluetooth adapter and your AUX port.
(Stupid post limit! Search Amazon for "PAC Ground Loop Isolator for 3.5 MM Applications")

I've been using this for a few months and it works well. Powered by a car adapter, so depending on your setup it might be more wires than some like (the inside of my center console has a power adapter so that's where it's powered, but your situation may vary...). It looks like it's very similar to the Kinivo Phamwich posted.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004CLYJ2I
I would also recommend a Ground Loop Isolator - I have to use one on mine to prevent the buzzing as well. I use the same one Phamwich linked:

I actually have used both the Kinivo BTC450 and the Belkin one linked by evancg, here is my comparison of the two:
Belkin Bluetooth Car Hands-Free Kit
Worse audio quality than the Kinivo.
Magnetically attaches to a self-adhesive disc that you stick on your car, so you can stow away the dongle if you want.
Only one large, single button to answer calls or start/stop music.
Can remember more than one device pairing.
Kinivo BTC450
Better audio quality than the Belkin due to aptX.
The dongle has a self-adhesive back so it's stuck directly on your car.
Has a large face button for answering calls and starting/stopping music, and also two dedicated buttons on top for previous/next track.
Can only remember one device pairing, so it's inconvenient if you're using more than one device with the Kinivo.
Overall, I like the Kinivo over the Belkin because the audio quality is better on the Kinivo, and it also has previous/next track buttons, so I can change tracks without having to reach for my phone. I only wish the Kinivo could remember at least two or three device pairings, though, since I also have an iPod, iPad, and a few other phones in my household.

I have the Kinivo BTC450. I drive a lot for work, and it is great! No problems at all, some say you may need a ground loop isolator, but I didnt. Calls are clear on both ends, and audio quality IMO is on par with hardwired.

[Q] Finicky connection with car audio jack

*Edit:*
Just so those who just joined in this converstation don't get too dragged into it, I've resolved this issue simply by buying what is called a ground loop noise isolator adapter. It's main purpose is to remove the static and whining noise you hear from your speakers when you plug your phone to the car charger while connected to the speakers. But at the same time, it is keeping the signal from the aux cable of your car on "hot" so that when you plug in the phone, the phone immediately picks up the aux signal and stays connected. I basically killed two birds with one stone by getting the adapter. Here is the adapter I purchased:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001EAQTRI
I will make it clear here that this aux connectivity problem has nothing to do with how cheap or expensive your aux cable is. You can use the most expensive cable or the cheapest penny cable out there and if the problem exists between your phone and your car's aux, then it won't resolve it. Either change your car's head unit (which is a stupid thing to do) or simply get the adapter. Don't return the phone over this problem, its just a dumb move. The phone is amazing. LG will have a patch for it or someone will make a ROM that tackles the problem.

Hello all,
was wondering if anyone else with the G3 (not sure if it matters, but I have the 851 variant) is having a hard time getting their phone working with the audio jack coming from their car. I drive a 2007 Scion tC and never had any problem of weird issues connecting any of my previous phones (Moto Atrix 4G, LG Nitro HD, GSIII, Nexus 5 just to name a few) to the audio jack in my car. I'll just plug it in and it connects just fine.
But for some odd reason, the G3 is having tons of issues. When I plug in the audio jack to the phone, I see the audio jack icon pop up up top next to the clock, but then some times it will just disappear on its own. Other times, it will stay there, but when I play a media, may it be music, or video from any app, the sound will play out of the speaker on the phone and not the car speakers. Unplugging it while the media is playing and replugging it again will not change anything, but if I stop the media playback, unplug it and then plug it back in, and the icon reappears and then I tap play immediately, the audio will then come out from the car speakers. Some times I have to do this multiple times to finally get it to work.
The strangest thing is, this does not happen if I plug anything else to the G3, such as a headset or an external speaker or any other devices, only in my car. It even works fine in any other car as far as I know. I've tried different audio cables in my car but it still does the same thing, so it doesn't seem to be the cable.
Is there some kind of sensor in the phone that detects connectivity of the phone to another device? I realize that when I plug in the phone to my car, the car speakers makes a couple of whining noises before it goes quiet, sort of sending or receiving a signal from the phone.
Can anybody please help me? I want to say that the phone is defective, but I can't proof so since it works just fine with any other devices. Could it be the head unit in my car is incompatible with the phone? Any advice is appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks bfranklin, I didn't realize there was another thread about it. Wish all the G3 are under the same group.

I noticed i get some crackling feedback when i hit play on a track.. but then it works fine and even with moving the aux jack it doesn't keep cracking... just on initial play/loading of the music player

I have to plug the cable in very slow or it won't work.

That was my trick initially but eventually even that didn't work. Someone mentioned to try plugging in a charger first and then plug in the aux cable and that worked. But now I bought a ground loop noise isolator and that has resolved the problem completely. I also don't get so much popping noise and no whining noise when I charge the phone while the car is running. Here's what I bought:

If you use low quality Audio cables like Monster sells it will be higher resistance than a quality cable and should register without issue. The phone struggles with discovering the connection.

???? So if I understand the monster cable is a cheap cable and phone has issues with better higher end cables?

Higher quality cables, yes, I looks that way.

I'm gonna disagree here bc I'm using a cable from a Wal-Mart discount bin, which is I'm thinking the cheapest kind available, and it doesn't work right.

I was not saying that. If you use Griffen cable at 14 . or monster cable at 20. Or rocketfish at 18. They all work the same. Just not buying that it is a cable issue. Hardware more like it. I actually just order a eBay cable for .99 cents to prove this totally wrong.

This has nothing to do with cables. I literally tried over 6 different cables and nothing worked between my phone and my car's aux port. Yet I used the same cables in my friend's car (old Nissan sentra) that has an aux port and they all worked fine with the phone. Also used a cassette aux adapter kit in my gf's sister's old SUV and it works fine with it.
This is purely hardware compatibility issue. Some head unit's aux port stays hot at all times, others don't. Some probably reacts faster than others and connects immediately so the phone doesn't drop connectivity before engaging. Again, like I've mentioned, you can either circumvent the issue by using the "charge phone first then plug in aux cable" trick, or simply buy a ground loop isolator adapter which keeps the connection hot. LG will fix the problem eventually. It was an annoyance, but a minor one, and i can't be any happier with this phone despite of the connection issue.

Hey guys and gals,
can you guys all do me a favor and head to my other thread when you have a chance. I'm making a list of cars and its head unit that is either compatible or not with the G3 from the get go. Please support it by providing your answers so I can populate the list.

Well see i thought the same thing but this works perfectly and just google is Blustream isbt52

No problem here with g3 and my tuscan aux in. I do run soundabout pro and set headset output to wired...

Bought that adapter from the OP and it didn't make a difference. Buzzing was still there.

I ended up getting a Bluetooth to aux adapter to fix this problem
