microphone on KF - Kindle Fire Accessories

What exactly can a pair of headphones with a microphone do? Not Bluetooth just ones that plug into a headphone jack.... any ideas? Any suggestions? (Cheap around $5-10)

there are only a few things that are supported, the only two i really know of are google voice and skype.

You can tune a guitar with one.

What about on ICS?

Is skype really supported for calls now? On which ROM? When i tried to call last time it disconnected immediately after call was accepted no matter calling from KF to other device or vice versa.

I don't believe anyone has actually gotten it to fully work (by that, I mean communicate in both directions) with Skype as yet.

I got voice search using the gingerbread miui rom. You just have to find the right g apps package to flash

Tapemachine works great on stock kindle fire / record /edit/save your voice, good for memo stuff, mp3 format is supported so file sizes are small

Can this be used for TTS???

Shazam works. See my post on another thread.

It doesnt work with groove IP

I just bought the headset buddy (sorry, can't post links) to use with my headphones & mic, but the mic doesn't work with any recording apps I've tried, including ones that are reputed to work on the KF with this setup. (Tape-a-talk, hi q mp3 recorder, etc.)
It's possible my mic is not compatible. It's mono, with a regular 1/8" jack. It fits the adapter just fine, though, and the headphones do work, so I don't know why the mic wouldn't.
I wonder if this setup is incompatible with the ROM I'm using, which is Hellfire Kindle Sandwich. Have any other HFKS users gotten an external mic to work with recording applications?

If it doesn't have a TRRS plug (with four connectors), it's probably the mic that's the problem.

Make sure it's a TRRS headset. (Tip-Ring-Ring-Sleeve)

Thanks for the diagram. The headset buddy is indeed a TRRS connector. The mic I'm trying to use, however is a mono mic with a TRS connection. I bet that's the problem. Since it's mono, I'd expect the jack to be TS, not TRS. Anyway, thanks for the help. I'll try getting my hands on some other gear to try out with it.

Can anyone confirm that the mic input works on ICS (specifically Gederom 0.6)? I bought a small button mic meant for older iPods with the appropriate TRRS connector, but can't get the Fire to recognize it or any input from it. I've tried Voice Search, a couple of voice recording apps, and Shazam (which seems to be working for pretty much everyone).
I'm wondering if I have a defective mic (not too surprising considering it's a pretty cheap one from Hong Kong or something), or if this doesn't work in ICS or something. I'm trying to find another device to test the mic on, but haven't had any luck getting my hands on one.

In researching the pin-outs, it appears that the iPhone and HTC type Microphone/Headsets have opposite pinouts on the ground and microphone. I'm betting that the grounded mic input is what causes the disconnect. You can't use an iPhone headset/Mic with a Kindle Fire.

I was wondering about the opposite pin-outs too, but yeah, it does seem to be working with both types of plugs, and definitely iPhone-style. Maybe I should just get a refund and try a different one...

got a bt stereo that works good

Ok so I took back my Motorola s9 because of skipping problems with mt T Mobile Wing & now ive got the perfect headset, Its a Insignia Ns-Bthdp paid $53.49 @ Best Buy.
Ok it charged in 3 hours ,paired up nice and re paired when I shut off the device with no problems.Its SUPER LOUD ...wow I couldnt believe how loud these things are ..but its not as clear as the s9's were, I think if I add the EQ to my phone, I can fix that.
On a call it had a small echo effect for the the other party but on my end the call is in stereo(yes).These sit on the ear not in it and wrap the neck like the s9's.
The controls will take some getting use to, it will beep when theres an incoming call so you can answer, and you can return the last call as well.
So wing lovers there you have it a cheap stereo bluetooth headset that wont SKIP and its loud,light,and did I say it dosen't (SKIP)...lol

Hi Evil:
Sorry to ask a stupid question, but you may be able to save me some research, for what I believe may be an easy question. I just got the headphones you mentioned. They are great.
I was able to easily pair them with my Tilt, but once I turned off, next time I went to use them, I turned on bluetooth, and nothing.
Is there some additional step I need to take to get them working?
Basically all I did was make sure the headphones were on, then turned on bluetooth on phone. Am I missing something?
Thanks!
PS: Please forgive my ignorance. I have never used a bluetooth device, and it doesn't explain anything beyond pairing in the manual for the headphones
I also have the Tilt (TyTN II), but have the i-Tech BlueBand R (which I love).
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but one annoyance with using this BT headset with my TyTN II is the need to go into the BT menu and manually activate the pairing every time, i.e., go to BT settings, turn on BT, go to Devices, long click on the i-Tech and choose "set as hands-free" and/or "set as wireless stereo."
Am I expecting too much? Or is this just that way BT stereo headsets work?

My HTC Touch Cruise and my Samsung SBH-170 connect automatically as soon as the headphones are turned on. Pressing play on the headphones starts my music only if either HTC Audiomanager or Windows Media Player are already running. My older Qtek 8310 (HTC Tornado) however would also start Windows Media Player on its own once I pressed play on the headphones.

Well, as it turns out, I had a defective headset. After exchanging it, it is no longer necessary to pair each time.
Regel, you are correct, it is VERY annoying to have to go in each time, and select "set as hands-free" and/or "set as wireless stereo."
Does anyone have a workaround for this, so that it will automatically use as stereo , and headset?
Sonus:
You are lucky that yours connects automatically, I sure wish mine did too. Those are very nice looking headphones! Better looking than my new Insignias, but the Insignias were cheap, and I'm broke
Thanks!
EDIT: Sonus: You were right! If I turn on music and bluetooth BEFORE turning on headset, it does automatically connect. Thanks for the tip!

I'm happy it worked out, I usually keep bluetooth on all the time, as battery drain is very minimal. As long as the bluetooth is already on before you turn on your headset, you can turn the music player on at any time you want without any issues.
Thanks, I actually had first bought the headset over a year ago for $100, but someone stole them a few months back, and I was able to get a set on eBay for like $16 plus shipping...so the moral is that they can be bought cheap if you're really interested in a pair.
Hi!
I am in the market for a set of stereo BT headphones for the gym, S9 seems to get lots of bad reviews..especially for getting them wet which is a problem as I sweat like hog in a blast-furnace...any luck with any of the sets you have actually being sweat-resistant and not interfering with running/lifting? TIA!!

All bluetooth headphones I have used, have automatically connected as hands free, but there is nothing to show this on the phone; just the flashing on the headphones shows it is connected.
Then pressing play on the headphones starts wireless stereo, and the headphone symbol appears on the screen, and the headphones make the little beep tone.

Choosing a car stereo A2DP compatible

I'm interested to buy a new car stereo, in the way to stream directly the music from mine Desire over bluetooth. Someone got some experience about it? I would look to buy an used car stereo from ebay for this... any clue?
I have a kenwood KDC-X8016BT
does almost all.
can use the headset buttons to change the music being streamed via BT on phone OR other wy around.
Handsfree
voice dial
etc etc
the only thing I don’t like is.... when scrolling through the phonebook via the headset.... you can't use the first letter shortcuts .... you have to scroll them all from a to z. But you can set 10 numbers to the one push favorites button...
If I were you I'd only believe it works when you see it works... My desire reboots when connected to my carstereo via bluetooth / a2dp since the Froyo 2.2 upgrade.

Really ? I use my Desire with Pioneer BT600 everyday for internet radio, spotify, calls. Never had a reboot at all everything fine with mine, on Leedroid 2.1a atm
So, normally a stereo with a Bluetooth connection "should be" compatible with the Desire?
I have the JVC KD-R901 and the bluetooth streaming works fine, as does hands free calling with the Desire.
Good to hear! someone got another experience with Desire + one car stereo with Bluetooth?
Another question, can two different bluetooth devices work together or there would be a conflict? for example using the Desire plus this remote for the radio:

I have a JVC KD-BT11 few years old now but very good and never had any problems. Works very well with the desire both for calls and music.
Connects within seconds of turning starting the car and also works with the steering wheel controls in the car to skip tracks on the phone etc.

I use the Sony MEX-BT3800U with me desire and it works really well via Bluetooth. It even has a front USB socket for direct access to the SD card and is even strong enough to charge the phone too.

The Stereo needs a minimum Bluetooth revision to be compatible with the Desire? for example the Bluetooth 1.1 or 2.0?

I just bought a new car stereo with Bluetooth 1.1 and 2.0 with A2DP (Marquant MCR-1257) but I got problem to play the music from mine Desire, can someone help me?
I connected the two devices together, then the instructions said that I need to change the autoradio mode (there are Radio, Aux, and BT-Play mode) but only the first two are selectable.
What I have done wrong? how did you connected the Desire with your stereo?
After some settings I finally connected the music via Bluetooth...but...
DAMN SUONDS SO BAD
The music volume is lower then the AUX mode, and there's this costant background sound that ruins the sound so much
It's that normal that Bluetooth sounds so bad? Als digital sounds should not be better compared to the Aux?

That doesn't sound normal. I've had a similar sound problem with stereo headphones when it thinks the headphones are mono headset. Rebooting both devices and reconnecting helped.

Check the media volume on the phone is set to full whilst you are streaming over Bluetooth.
Sent from my HTC Desire using Tapatalk
I tryed both, I disconnected and riconnected the device from zero, I checked the volume level (max) but it's still sounds worst (quality and volume) compared to AUX.
Any other clue?
i got a pioneer and all is good. even downloads my phone book so no rooting through phone when driving to make a call. Best advice is to go to a proper car stereo place and ask them for advice as they have seen and done it. from my experience stay away from halfords. Talk to these guys http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/store-finder.htm they have always been able to help me with anything
Resurrection of post
So for bringing back a relatively old post, but I am about to invest a considerable amount of money into my car stereo system, and am looking for the perfect head unit for the following:
Samsung Galaxy S I9000 to work with A2DP for streaming music and making calls (needs phonebook reading etc)
Ipad to work with Apple Connector direct to headunit (Mainly for audio, however Video playback would be awesome via the Apple Video Connector)
AUX input for other people's devices
DAB Radio
USB port for flash disk
Do you think all these requirements can be satisfied with one super mega ultra headunit?
Sorry for posting in this forum despite my lack of a Desire, however I couldn't find a similar topic in the I9000 forum!
Thoughts on a postcard perhaps?
CG
Bucketchem,
I'm also considering buying a Kenwood KDC-8016BT to use with my Android phone. Can you confirm how the voice dialling works that you quote it can do? The manual on the Kenwood website implies that only the KDC-X7016/KDC-X7016L can perform voice dialling calls (perhaps because this unit uses the external Bluetooth box which may be higher spec’ed that the one built into the KDC-X8016BT? Anyway, it seems strange that the higher spec'ed unit overall couldn't do this. Can you please confirm voice dialling is indeed a feature of the KDC-X8016BT? If so, does it require pre recording of voice tags (as the Kenwood manual implies is required for the KDC-X7016/KDC-X7016L) or does it just activate the voice dialler built into the phone - thus the intelligence for the voice dialling is in the phone rather than the car stereo?
Thanks,
David.

Phone calls last number when connected to headspeakers

Hi everyone!
I am quite sure my problem is not ROM related, because it happens on my HTC DHD and also on my HD2.
Following happens when i listen to music over my headspeakers ( it also happens with all different kind of headsets, even when i have the phone connected to my car over aux ), the phone suddenly starts to call the last called person and it skips the songs randomly.
When I unplug it from aux or headspeakers it ok, until I replug it again.
I know there are quite a few people out there that have had or still have this problem.
Does anybody has a solution to that problem?
I hope, somebody can help me out there.
I had a similar problem but had a little crackle as well. I found that it got progressively worse with time as well. Thought it was just my stock headphones so did tests with other types and same problem so I figured it must be the socket. I was gonna buy some Bluetooth headphones but found that a clean restart sorted the problem. Turn off fast boot and turn off, leave it thirty seconds or so and boot up. it seems like it was something up do with cleaning out the temp files with a clean boot sorted it. Hope your problem sorted itself out the same way, if not then i'm all out of ideas and you need someone with a better knowledge of the system
Failing that try checking if there's some fluff in the headphone socket that may be causing a short of sorts
Funnily enough I was using earphones a few days ago when watching YouTube and my music kept starting and flicking through songs on its own. (I was also using WiFi.) I'd never experienced it before. It was like the phone was controlled by some remote source. It even continued after rebooting the phone and not even starting the music myself. After pulling out the headphones and quitting YouTube/ switching off Wifi it stopped doing it. It could be a bug or maybe simply the Evil Google is taking over.. Does anyone actually know why the OS is called `Android'?
It is a bug caused by using incompatible headphones. Headphones without a mic. Plug has 3 bands instead of 4. Try this free app from the market as it gets great reviews and supposedly stops the issue. "Headset Blocker"
Or use a set of headphones with a mic and 4 bands on the plug.

Thanks for this information. I hope this headset blocker will do the job.
But if not what kind of aux cable would I have to buy, for plugging my phone into my car system?
Pick up something like this. It is an adapter cable that adds a mic to an ordinary pair of headphones. This stops the short between the ground and the mic connection which seems to be giving MANY people issues.

I don't know if it is the port loosening up and the plug has static bounces between the ground and the mic connection or if it is just buggy software but this will fix it. Most electronic and cellphone stores should sell something like this.
to be honest i doubt if what you say is true because i´ve had the same problems with the stock headphones and same problems using my wifes sensation headphones( i know they´re both the same) so considering both have a microphone and are banded the same as your pic you posted that kinda makes the idea of it being incompatible kinda redundant. i´m not saying that your lying or anything but as a technical explanation of why there is a problem it leaves a lot to be desired from where i´m standing unless i´m the exception that proves the rule.
like i said for me just a cold restart did the trick and i´ve found people on forums elsewhere who solved the problem the exact same way.
A reboot doesn't fix the issue. Just stops it for now. Using the aux cable has stopped this issue for many. So has the app that I suggested. The only people that I knew that had this issue was using headphones without a mic and this has worked. And it could be a bug in the software. Music apps stay running in the background. So if you have different music apps installed this may cause your issue too. They may be interfering with each other. It is just suggestions to try. It all could be redunant. Rebooting is redundant as the issue will come back anyways.
that may be so but turning the phone on and off again costs a bit less and doesnt require a second cable to be connected between the phone and headphones
and again htc original headphones were the ones with the problem so i still dont see the type of headphones being the problem. seeing as how a complete reboot fixed the problem (maybe only temporarily, only time will tell) what that leads me to think is that its nothing more than a software conflict somewhere as the reboot cleans out the temp files somehow stopping the problem.
Been having this problem for months when connected via a normal 3.5mm jack in my car. It will call the last person, skip tracks and then open audiogalaxy. Thought it was the phone overheating or something to do with the socket. It all makes sense now, will try this app and report back after my next long drive if it works...
I've had a similar problem. To solve it, I did a small hardware hack to the 3.5mm socket of the phone.
I used some sugru silicone (sugru.com) to carefully cover up the first contact of the socket and it solved all my issues. It blocks out the headset commands (no more random calls during music playback) and also eliminated the static noise.
The hack is very easy to do and the sugru stuff can be removed again, so there's a minimum of risk involved.
Hope this helps
Ok so far. I downloaded this "Headset blocker" app from market and I have the feeling that it does its job.
Try it out yourselves and tell us your opinion.

1 ear headpieces are mono headsets. Under your bluetooth settings, select the paired headset and see if you have the option 'media audio' and make sure it is checked. Additionally, the S3 has a 'Mono Music' widget built into touchwiz. I suspect the widget will give you what you want. If all that doesn't work , you can buy one of these type of bluetooth headsets like the Samsung HS3000 and replace the detachable ear phones with single mono ones.

I personally used to use this Bluetooth awhile back, loved it and it worked and sounded good.
http://www.plantronics.com/us/product/m155
Idk anything about the one you posted though
Since you already bought a couple, i would first try to get those to work. No point buying more. I don't think that link on ebay works either. The headset itself has to support bluetooth A2DP profile , which most , if not all mono headset aren't designed to do. Again, i would try to configure the software as mentioned earlier to get it to work first.
You should google the following sentence which will help :
"android streaming music to mono bluetooth headsets"
Good luck.

1 ear headpieces are mono headsets. Under your bluetooth settings, select the paired headset and see if you have the option 'media audio' and make sure it is checked. Additionally, the S3 has a 'Mono Music' widget built into touchwiz. I suspect the widget will give you what you want. If all that doesn't work , you can buy one of these type of bluetooth headsets like the Samsung HS3000 and replace the detachable ear phones with single mono ones.

Any ideas where this "mono music" option might be ? settings? i cant seem to find it...
Its a widget, add to home screen first, then toggle it

Very well. Ill try all that now thanks
Well PROBLEM SOLVED. An app called BLUETOOTH AUDIO made all my mono headsets work like a charm... Thanks everyone for their help.
Sent from my GT-I9300T using xda app-developers app
or maybe you can consider this

I am using a similar JB app on my iPhone to send all audio out to mono bluetooth headset. You can also search for "bluetooth mono headsets with a2dp" on google. A2DP headsets will accept stereo bluetooth connection even if the headset is mono/one ear.
Don't know if you care about sound quality at all, but the GS3 supports apt-X and the HS3000 someone mentioned also supports it. You just need t switch out the double to a mono earpiece.
Also I've seen this headset on Amazon that is a clip-on that had a single retractable earplug:

Android 10: did they fix no notification sound through speaker with BT media device?

I'm hesitating to update to A10, since most modules in Good Lock are not supported there. However the most annoying thing Samsung introduced in S10 is removing LED light AND audible notifications through speaker when a BT media device is connected, which was inherited by N10. This is the most retarded thing they ever did.
So the question is, did they bring back audio notifications though speaker when BT media device (headphones, car) is connected?
I can confirm that they didn't. By far 1 of the dumbest decisions ever by Samsung.
Man I'm glad others think this was a horrible thing. I mentioned it elsewhere and peeps jumped on me like I was a fool for bringing it up

It's actually not exactly Samsung's issue, it's Android 9/10 "feature", but nonetheless, whoever though it was a good idea without giving an option is an idiot.

I'm not sure if this is a good or bad thing, but I can tell you that I have the Note 10+ with Android 9 and I get all sound notifications when the phone is bluetooth connected to a bluetooth speaker or my car infotainment system or bluetooth earphones.

You can listen music through BT device and receive audio notifications for different apps through phone's speaker at the same time???

No, that's not what I said. But after having used 4 different Notes (2, 4, 8 & 10+) I can tell that none of them had the feature you are talking about (sound output through speaker and bluetooth device in the same time, if I understood corectly). All my phones where international versions.

It seems you don't understand the question...
I've had Note 3, 7 and S7Edge and before Android 9 came along the notification sounds were always played through speaker AND wired/wireless headphones (or other connected BT device) at the same time. Since Android 9 notification sounds only play through connected device, NOT through speaker, unless nothing is connected.

Not true. Prior to Android 9 you could definitely get audible notifications through your bluetooth and phone speakers simultaneously.
I really don't know who had that brilliant idea but for sure was an idiot. And the most incredible is that we see a lot of people complaining and they don't solve this.
I DO NOT get this post. someone tell me please what you guys are trying to do?
So when I connect my phone via Bluetooth to my headphones/car/home
and say get messages, or new uploaded songs from SoundCloud
I hear an audible notification that plays over my current media playback
is that what is not happening to you guys?

That's exactly what happens now.
Before Android 9, that notification would SIMULTANEOUSLY play through speaker AND current media playback device.
The problem is that just because your headphones are connected to the phone doesn't mean they are in your ears, or if your phone is connected to the car, doesn't mean you are inside the car.
So to be clear... This fubar bluetooth/phone speaker situation, was/is not rectified in the android 10 update? No way of changing notification audio channels?
Well, I think it depends on the device and what you want it to do. For example, on my home devices, most of them, no I can't, add there's no option. But in my car, it gives me the option to both use the phone and audio with bluetooth, but I disconnected notifications, so I hear the dings on my phone.
I think from this, it's more of the device your connecting to, and whether it will have the options in the bluetooth settings. That's just my guess from what my car allows me to do, and how I set it up.
its working with the star wars special edition themed rom. scared me in the car while connected BT and Android auto
I know this is an old post but it's one of the first ones I found when googling this issue. Just in case someone else finds it when looking this up I wanted to post a fix for it.
If you download the SoundAssistant app (got it from the galaxy store) you can go to advanced settings, and there is an option for "Alerts through headphones." You have the option of choosing whether ringtones, alarms, and/or notifications are played through headphones.
This issue has been fixed. I just tried the fix and it worked perfectly.
