What's the best microphone for the Galaxy S2? - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I want to do some public pranks, but I don't know what mic to get. Since my Galaxy S2 is the only audio recorder I have. My limit is about $50.

Hello. Well my friend... I have tried recording with my Jabra headset and it works pretty well. Bought it from amazon about a year ago and it's still holding up just fine.

If you want to use the headset as a voice recorder you'll need an app called Bluetooth Recorder Lite.

It's not the best app but oh well... There aren't too many free options right now.
If you really are into that I recommend Easy Voice Recorder Pro. It costs around 4 dollars right now and it has bluetooth support.

Hope I helped :good:

Jawbone era issues - anyone suggest alternative headset

Hi
I have a jawbone era which worked with my old htc desire but totally sucks with the nexus. This is a common issue I have subsequently found out.
Can anyone tell me if the Jawbone Icon HD works with the nexus ?
How about the plantronics headsets ?
Any other recommendations for a good BT headset?
Any feedback or suggestions are most appreciated.
Thanks, Dean
I use a jawbone era with mine and like it. I also use the jawbone app with it.

I'm having terrible trouble with mine - people on the other end can hardly hear me. These 2 links show people having the same issues:
eg http://forums.jawbone.com/t5/ERA/Jawbone-ERA-connection-with-Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-i9250-Ice-Cream/td-p/28890 and
http://forums.jawbone.com/t5/ERA/new-jawbone-era-muffled-voices-issue/td-p/8202
So you guys using it with the nexus havent experienced any problems ?
The Icon HD works amazing for me. I have it and use it everyday. No problems I've ran into. Had it since Nexus launch.

Apple Earpods

So I just got the Apple Earpods and it seems that the microphone does not work at all. During calls and in apps. It doesn't matter what ROM I am on. However I do know the microphone on the headphones does work on other phones like the Nexus 4. Is there anyway that the microphone support could be implemented into a ROM? Or is it something hardware related that Samsung did with the headphone jack?

Like all Apple products, they decided to make their own version of TRRS jacks, so Apple reversed two of the poles on the jack. You can buy a converter here for 10.00

Thank you! But I am wondering why does it not work on the GS3? It works on the nexus 4 and according to android central when they reviewed the earpods, the microphone does work the android.

I believe in the review AC used a GNex, and if you read through the comments, people say the mic does not work on a SGS3 and even the GNex.
Try downloading Jays headset control from play store and see if it works.

Galaxy note 2 and samsung da e750

Hello,
I have bought the samsung da e750 for music and i want to dock my galaxy note 2 on it but it doesnt work.
Then i read a compatible list and the note 1 is compatible but the 2 not?
How is this possible and what can i do about it?
Thank you
Best regards

I have the Da-e650 which is essentially the same minus the vacuum tubes and have no problem connecting my Note 2. Did you install the app needed when actually docking the Note? You don't need it just to connect via blue tooth just when docked. Link follows...

FYI... I can also play music direct from my pc via Media Player's play to feature. Very handy for annoying my wife
.... I have to return some videotapes....

I'm a bit late here...but anyway:
The DA-E750 does not suport audio playback from USB dock audio, strangely enough. It does, however, have full iPod support. If you want to use it with an Android phone, it'd have to be through Bluetooth, auxiliary or WiFi.

Is Bluetooth fixed in 4.3

I'm understanding no Bluetooth LE for galaxy nexus but can anyone confirm that the broken features in 4.2.2 are fixed in 4.3 like bad in call quality, bad audio streaming and no id tags that worked in 4.1.2. I have awhile to wait since I'm on toro but wondering if I should even be excited as I need these to work.

Tags work but quality still sucks like on 4.2.2. Epic fail if you ask me. And no more audio controls were added.

Guess I can move on with life and not worry about upgrading to 4.3.

Howdy
I just got 4.3 on my Nexus - and the first thing I did was run out to the car and try pair it. Sadly it behaves just like 4.2 did - it pairs - connects for about 2 seconds and then disconnects - and that is the end of that.... I know it might be blasphemous - but I am wondering if an iPhone would at least work with my car .. I really don't want to go all the way back to 4.1 to get Bluetooth working! Sadly in my country you get a huge fine if found talking on your phone in the car - so bluetooth is kinda essential (and one of the reasons I bought the car in the first place)

speakers are very low

anyone else disappointed with the speakers that comes in the note 3?
it's really pissing me off at this point. was really thinking of rooting and doing a sound mod, but it doesn't seem as if the speakers can take it any push without being over saturated and sounding distorted.
They sound fine ... at least they are louder than my S4.

Out the box it sounded good. After rooting and applying ViPER, it's even better.

Really? I like it I can finally put my phone down without it finally getting muffled from being on the back.

Note 3 Audio is not as loud as my note 2 but hopefully with sound MOD it would do a little better. Just wish it had dual speaker. Wonder why they choose not to do that.

Good to know. Im looking to get this phone and if the sound better than the s4 then its good enough for me.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 4
Mine sounds OK though volume level is a bit lower than Note 2, but you should get louder sound if you lay the unit flat on hard surface (table). Usually the sound from Note 2 is blocked but Note 3 is not affected (the way it sounds through the edge like Galaxy Tab/Note 7 or 8, or iPhone 5).
Nope. I'm pretty impressed after coming from 4 HTC phones* in a row.
*none of them were the ONE, which I've never heard.

Mines pretty loud, louder than my G2 was and I actually turned the master level down a notch. I only ever play games with the speaker and vines maybe a Youtube video, otherwise its plugged into the stereo in the car.

Wow that's good then, I think my S4 has a loud enough speaker for me. Anything below that and I would be dissatisfied.

I assume you traded your g2? Might end up doing the same.

Just got my note 3 and it's the same as the s4. Maybe slightly lower but I can't really tell much. I definitely can tell its way louder than my g2.

How does the speakers hold up to the volume boost?
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
The thing is I'm coming from a note 2 and I use a volume mod and it makes it pretty damn loud.....but the speakers in the note 3 just doesn't seem like they can't stand if volume boost.
I haven't rooted yet seeing that no one has figured out that Knox warranty issue yet.
But so far the speakers are so low the alarm can't even wake me up...
Sent from my SM-N900T using xda app-developers app
Same thing here. The earphone volume is low as well. I am on aosp rom though.
