There's the microusb port. Can that support (or does the headphone/mic jack support) connecting an external stero mic to record better quality music than the onboard mono of the mytouch 4g?
I've search around and found some chinese stuff that's iffy, and I don't know if it will work. I'm looking for a solid solution to some real solid stereo recording of acoustic music. I've got a 3.5mm mic that works when plugged into mic jack of my laptop, it worked with an old AIWA "walkman" I had with an external mic jack. The head phone jack of the MT4G is also 3.5mm. ?
Thanks

Hmm, good question. I'm a musician too, that would be sweet for mobile recording.
This might be a bit obvious, but since you've already got a 3.5mm mic, why don't you plug it in and try?

From what I understand, the Mytouch 4G uses a standard microUSB port that only charges/connects the device. Thus, barring some kind of circuitry miracle, the MT4G cannot record audio from the microUSB port.
Unfortunately, the device will only record mono from the 3.5mm input. Even if you did use a stereo mic, I believe that the MT4G will only record from one channel. Like Sunsean suggested, test it out with the mic you have. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
five hundred bucks for mono mic in.
sigh.
i'll try but looks like it's a nonstarter.
thanks guys.

Hi,
Since the ExtUSB connector is mono (or at least that is what I have figured out from the schema) I am looking for a bluetooth or wired device that will have a mic (3.5mm) connector. I would like to record with my TyTN II.
Any of those out there?, I have been searching for hours with no luck.
I want to use my Sony ECM-DS70P stereo mic (no amplifier) to record.
I would be perfect if the same gizmo would have a 3.5mm out connection for headphones.
The thought is to stream audio data out to a server for live stereo sound (live music, open spaces, etc). Mono could do, but the difference is enormous on the mono mics I have tried, the sound space is lost.
Another solution would be to get an mp3 player with bluetooth such as the TEAC MP-500BT, but I don't know if they will work together and if the TEAC has an amplifier for the line-in. And why have 2 devices anyways?
Thanks,

this is the closest i've seen
guess you could go DIY but i suppose you had to deamp the signal to avoid it to overstear the mic in the pda
I thought about opening up one of these and soldering a 3.5mm connector on the mic wires but then I found out that the ExtUSB connector is mono. That is why I thought that there may be easier to go bluetooth.

yeah all mics in all pda's are mono it really make no sense to do stereo with only 1 mic
you can just use one of the lines and ground to connect a mic
if there is a bluetooth device which meets your requirements i've never seen it
nor do i believe the market is big as recording 1 audio source in stereo dont make sense stereo is for more then 1 audio source
so if there is a bt device i'd say it's a nitche product which will likely cost
Makes sense. The difference between Sony ECM-DS70, which is a low budget (EUR 50) mic, and recording mono with pricier mics is huge, the detail is better on the mono mics I tried, but I get no sense of space which is what I am aiming at. Thus I need to get the sound into the tytn somehow.
I'm hoping someone more technical than me will be able to help.
I've added an adapter to my car stereo that basically adds an auxiliary input. I plug my Fuze into the auxiliary input using the adapter that came with the Fuze, and listen to mp3's through the car stereo. This works well, but I don't really like having the adapter and cable always hanging from the phone.
I have a wired bluethooth headset that I don't use, similar to this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875982140
So it's basically a bluetooth dongle with earbuds and a mic wired to it. I was wondering if I clip off the earbuds, and splice those wires into a cable with a headphone jack, then plug the jack into the auxiliary input, will this work for playing music over bluetooth throught the car stereo?
Yep, this works! But depending on the BT-profile you will get bad audio quality with mono-sound...
I guess you get better sound if using bluetooth-stereo headphones. They should have the A2DP-profile!
Hi!
I have this for some time: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938811&pf_rd_i=507846
(Actually, I baught it in a store so I'm not sure it's excatly the same but it looks the same)
Recently, I baught this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Headphone-HTC-VIVA-exclusive-Duragadget/dp/B001LIM8F0/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_2
When I plug the old one in my HTC Touch Cruise and then stereo headphones, to it's 3.5mm jack (without microphone), I can use phone's mic and plugged headphones to talk.
When I do the same with new one I can't use phone's mic. I can hear the other side through headphones but I can't be heard.
What might be a reason for this?
And can I fix this problem somehow so I don't have to unplug headphones each time I want to talk if I'm listening to the music?
Thank you very much in advance!
P.S. FM Radio works with both adapters.
there is no std for 3.5mm mini-jack with mic included
the org spc is only audio out
some headset makers add another ring which don't interfere with the
left, right and ground connectors
but there is no std they can follow
thumb rule is if mic is not mentioned in relation with the 3.5mm adaptor
mic is not supported as they use the pure audio out mini-jack std
thumb rule 2 is if mic is mentioned but it's not the same manufactures
in both end they may not implement mic in 3.5mm the same way and it will
only work with audio out
Thank you for your quick answer but I'm not sure you understood me.
I do not use external mic.
In first case I use 3in1 adapter and my stereo headphone with 3.5mm connector without microphone.
In second case I use this simple in-line adapter and same headphones.
In first case, during call, I can hear the other side through headphones, and the other side hears me through built-in-phone microphone.
In second case, during call, I can hear the other side through headphones, but other side can't hear me.
In both cases FM radio works well. I mention this because I saw that mic and FM antenna are on the same pin in USBext (if that's important since I don't use external mic)
about fm then all it needs is an antenna connected to to it
any stereo maybe even mono connected with a wire will do
heck you can cut off the airplugs from a cable and use it for fm
normaly when one connects a headset speaker and mic on the device itself
are muted
even if it's a headset without mic so cool that your fist case works at all
This first one adapter is original HTC. It has 2.5mm, 3.5mm, USBext for data and charging and USBext for headset connectors. And unfortunately it is too big for any other use except in car (to connect to car's audio aux input) or at home (to connect to home AV reciever).
So I baught this cheap simple in-line adapter. And it is suprisingly well built. And it works great as stereo adapter. Only problem is that it turns of microphone.
Anyhow I did some additional testing.
I tried SE Xperia X1 since it has built in 3.5mm connector. and it works like this first one. That means microphone works.
I also tried plugging this first adapter into my touch cruise and then plugging this second adapter into it's USBext for headset. The result is the same as if I plug second adapter directly into touch cruise. Microphone doesn't work.
Interesting thing is that in all cases (including Xperia) when I listen to the music with external headphones soudn comes only out of them. But when phone starts ringing sound comes from both headphones and from built-in-phone external speaker.
!!! Maybe the most important thing is that microphone doesn't work even if only second adapter is plugged into the phone, without headphones plugged in it.
Obviously this second non-HTC adapter doesn't work as HTC originally planned that kind of adapter to work and now I need a way to fix this.
It seems to me that this adapter is maybe stereo adapter with mic, but I don't have that kind of headset to try it. And if I had it I'm not sure it would be the right one since there's no standard for them.
As I see it when I plug in adapter phone somehow detects it and changes some registry key which mutes microphone.
Does anybody know what to change in registry so that phone doesn't mute microphone?
Or how can I see what changes in registry when I plug in the adapter?
Do you think if I manage to fix this, will that affect bluetooth headset also?
Thank you very much for any help!
i love using my big over the head 3.5mm headphone but for some reason when i connect them to the tp2, it seems as if the sound police stopped by and took the sound away. Is their any part of the registry that is keeping the 3.5mm headset volume that low or are they always going to be that low?
Woa, Bro.First you tell me where you got that 3.5MM Rhodium!!! Please!! I am also using T-mobile.
i'm talking about the adapter

hi ricky, i use my tp2 through an miniUSB->3.5mm adapter, and it can drive my Sennheiser HD 555 without low volume problem... considering the headphone is quite big... *in term of size, load and impedance*
yet it doesn't sound as great as if i plug my Senn into builtin 3.5mm jack on my sex1... *an eargasm that is*
which Headphone you were using bro...?
alternatively, you have to use Coreplayer to play music since it has (digital) preamp capability, Menu -> Tools -> Preference -> Audio, there you can set your preamp gain you wanted.
hope it helps...
i use the G1s 3.5mm adapter & it doesn't work with my iPod headphones that have the mic on them. The volume is way too low as well.
Did a quick search and wanted to bump this topic. I am having the same problem with the built in 3.5mm jack (Telus CDMA). The speaker actually seems louder then the earphones. This is however just recent. So was wondering if another program may have over written some reg settings and if so, where I would check to change them back and/or boost the audio out. P.S. I am aware of Core Player Pre-amp and the Audio booster and these are not the problem or solution I am looking for
Thanks for any feedback

Mine works just fine, surprisingly
I'm no expert, but I think that these devices don't have the power to drive large over the head headphones. The where designed with in-ear phones in mind I'm sure.
Portable players benefit from portable amps to drive over the head headphones.
Either get some earphones or a portable amp.
BTW my Shure SE530 are very loud with my Tilt 2 and sound great.
On the G1 we did not have an option for a 3.5mm Headphone/speaker without using the adapter with built in speaker.
Now the EVO has both a 3.5mm Jack and a standard Micro USB Jack. When I tried to play music through my car stereo, the 3.5mm Jack on my double sided 3.5mm Jack cancels out the speaker, so I can't use the speaker on the phone.
I know it sounds complicated, but for normal talking, can I use the 3.5mm Jack with a standard Headset?
And for the car, would I need a special 3.5mm ---> 3.5mm (with built in speaker?) or do I use another MicroUSB--->3.5mm Adapter.
