Microphone is too silent when G4 is connected to car radio - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dear All,
I have a quite big problem, when I want to make a phone call in my car.
I connect the phone's audio out via a minijack to my car's radio and I want to use my phone's built in microphone for phone calls.
Unfortunately the mic does not record my voice loud enough. When I use the phone's built in loudspeaker it works fine, but when I use the car radio as sound output the mic does not record loud enough.
Does anybody know how to solve this issue?
My Samsung Galaxy Note 1 had a car mode available for this.
Thanks!

Simply, the headphone jack also contains the mic connector for a proper phone head/earphone and mic. Plugging your phone into your stereo via this jack disconnects the internal mic in favour of the headset mic which of course you won't have if you connect to the car stereo. So you are effectively disabling the ability to use the phone for calls when plugged in this way.

But the mic is NOT disabled. It is still enabled but is recording the voice as if it is being used like in a normal phone call. All I need is a function to switch the mic to some kind of a handsfree mode.

Sorry for my English.
With "normal phone call" I mean the phone being held right at your ear.
With "handsfree mode" I mean speakerphone mode.
So I need the audio out via stereo jack and I need the voice in via phone microphone in speakerphone mode...

Can you try using a cable that doesn't pass microphone? I think the difference is the full cable WITH mic uses 3 connections and the standard audio only uses 2.
This will prevent the internal microphone from being disabled.

I already use a standard audio cable with 2 connections only. The problem is not that the microphone is not working at all but it is not recording loudly enough. I simply want it to record as loudly as it does on speakerphone mode.

Problem using the Audio Adapter with a headset

I wonder if others are having this problem. I like to use my set of headphones with a mic using the audio adapter. When I plug it in it works fine. Now, when I unplug it and try to use the phone as normal I can't hear the person on the other line but they can hear me. When I plug the audio adapter with the headset I can hear them but they can't hear me unless i speak to the phone's microphone. It seems that plugging in the headset with the audio adapter "crosses some wires" between the headset and microphone. Using the Speaker and speakerphone works as normal. The only to resolve this so far for me has been to reflash the phone.
I have a T-Mobile Touch Pro 2 with the latest Energy Leo Rom. Anybody else having the same problem?

the adaptor does not work with headsets with microphones, it is only for listening (I am guessing). if I did not know any better, It is a hardware thingy (adaptor is not supported) not a software
UPDATE:
Stereo Headset Adapter - HTC extUSB
Use this adapter to convert the HTC extUSB socket to support any 3.5mm stereo headphones.
Note: The adapter supports audio only and does not have a hangup / answer function.

Same, But Different...Bluetooth
I have had the unfortunate necessity to hard reset several times recently. This has been due to a similar problem as you are describing, however I was using an A2DP bluetooth headset. I listen to audio books while working, and it works great. Previously, I have always had it switch over to handsfree for phone conversations when a phone call comes in, then it switches back to stereo for listening. I have recently had it completely disable any audio, both incoming and outgoing during calls. It will switch back to the stereo function, and I can listen to my audio, but it will not work for phone functions. I have tried everything (reset bluetooth, unpair/repair, uninstall audiopara, softreset, disable/enable phone, etc.) to restore the functionality, with no luck. Hard reset seems to be the only solution so far.
I don't know if this is related to your problem, but I will be troubleshooting and will let you know what I discover (if anything).
The headset works when you first plug it in. Works perfect actually. It's when you unplug it things get crossed and nothing works right again except the speakerphone.
Have you noticed any difference in effect by differentiating the way you unplug the headset, ie, unplug headphones from adapter, then unplug adapter; unplug adapter with headphones plugged into adapter?
Just a suggestion, but I don't know if it will make a difference.

better handsfree mic

i built a car mount for my X10 using the standard hands-free mic, so when i plugged the phone into the car audio jack, i could take calls through the car stereo, and so i didn't need to wear a headset. the problem I'm having at the moment is that the mic isn't strong enough to effectively use Google voice commands without leaning up to the dash(where the mic is located)
what i was wondering, is if anyone knew of an exceptional mic that could capture more DB than the standard mic

[Q] Any way to get Bluetooth Music Receiver to act like no-mic headphones on a call?

I recently purchased this Belkin Bluetooth Music Receiver and set it up in my car.
It works great for the music but when I get a call it just goes back to the phone(no speakerphone even).
What I want is the same thing that happens when headphones without a mic are plugged in during a call.
1. Audio through the "headphones(bluetooth in this case)
2. Mic through the phone mic
Is there any way to set this up?
Thanks
Edit: Additionally it seems that Tasker action *Take Call doesn't work on our device? Even rooted?

I have a pair of Sony headphones with an in-built mic ,when attached to my phone the work as a headset . The issue with them is that usage has broke the mic. Now whenever I connect my headphones my mic gets switched to the headphone's mic which is broken. Is there a way root / no root which lets me reroute the mic to the default phone ones when I connect the headphones?
