I have an XTRONS TD696A that came with Android 4.4.4. I upgraded it to 5.1, using Malaysk Roms and it operates great. Minor issues though is my DVD player no longer works. I'm not sure if it's the app that's missing, or something else. Also, i have the same MIC issues as the rest of them. I opened mine up to have a look at separating two microphones, 1 to codec, 1 to BT. But where some have C32 capacitor and C102. I seem to have a realtek chipset instead. I'm wondering if anyone had been able to do the modification on an hzc unit, and if so, where did they separate them. I will add pictures shortly. Any help on where I should be modding will be greatly appreciated, thanks!!!
*Edit* if anyone had the apk for the DVD player from the stock firmware could they please upload it, so I can see if that fixes my DVD not functioning problem.
Here are some pictures, more to come
The solder circled on the bottom right corner of the chip has continuity to the internal mic, as well as the BT mic+. It also seems to be connected to the external mic through the provided connector on the rear of the unit. The second picture is the same area just zoomed out.

I have this unit and did the mic mod by breaking the connection at the BT board and soldering a new external mic jack. I can't remember where the post was that I used as a guide. It was really simple though and phone calls seem to be crystal clear.
I will try to find the post.

I believe you mean this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/android-auto/mtcb-hardware-development/kgl4-mic-mod-t3252424/page3
So you don't use your provided external mic Jack? How does the internal mic work for system operations?

No, I soldered a new wire directly to the Bluetooth module and drilled a hole through the back plate for a new mic jack. I'll find the post as it had photos as well.

I want to use my note as a camcorder with external mic hooked to it.
I had problems with the SGS2 and my wireless microphone - it just didn't receive voice to the recording. same issue with the RAZR.
Can I expect same issues with the note?
Have anyone tried connecting a MIC to the note?
Thanks

irig mic cast
I tested these mics in vegas (ces) and they both worked fine on my note:
w ww.ikmultimedia.com/irigmic
and
w ww.ikmultimedia.com/irigmiccast
I've ordered the small one here:
w ww.thomann.de/gb/ik_multimedia_irig_mic_cast.htm
They told me that it should be available in april.

newbie here, looking for external mic info. one thing's for sure, you need to use the right connector. this is a 4 contact miniature jack standard to samsung and iphone. the nokia version is slightly smaller just to annoy people. the 4th connection carries external video connection so its' important to get the right audio connections, available from your friend google. also, you'll possibly have to tell the recorder which mic to use in settings somewhere. i use an excellent app called recforge pro.
good luck all
for the intrepid, as long as you get the right connections, any mic will do but the electret type are probably the best budget jobs. damage is extremely unlikely, unless you connect to the domestic electricity supply, a useful idiot-rid.
irig mic cast
Just an update on this:
I've finally received the irig mic cast and it works great with my note
How does it compare to the inbuilt mic?
Any chance you could upload some wav samples of each under the same conditions for reference?
I'm thinking about getting it, or something like it, to use with Audio Evolution and Loopstack.
thanks,
Rich
It's definitely clearer than the built in mic.
Also it's got a small volume switch for high/low sensitivity.
Another thing is that it's quite directional, which means that it records clearly the audio source in front of the mic and pads the background noise.
I'll record some files for you over the weekend.
Thanks.
One other thing, can you confirm that the headphone monitor out on the Mic Cast works with the Note?
ie. if you plug headphones in, can you hear what you are recording?
thanks,
Rich
Does the iRig MIC Cast work on the Note for regular phone calls and Voice-Over-IP apps like GrooveIP?
Hey everybody,
I'm also looking for an external mic however I'm after some sort of extension 3.5 cable to use the phone as a camera.
Cheers,

Sorry about the late reply. The real time monitoring feature is not available in any of the apps which I tested (e.g. Tape Machine Recorder, etc). I think that developers keep such a function disabled on purpose due to the well known latency issue on GB and ICS. Let's hope that google fixes this in Jelly Bean...

It works well for regular phone calls and skype, therefore it should work with other voip apps as well. If you use it for phone calls/voip you have to connect a set of hearphones/speakers to the sound output of the irig mic cast as the internal speaker of the note gets muted.

Just plug in the irig mic cast and then turn it around so that the front of the mic is on the same side as the camera lens. In this case I'd set the mic sensitivity switch to "hi".
Thanks for the info.

Nice! I use PCM Recorder to record acoustic gigs and the internal mic is way too sensitive to the point of distortion.
Does the iRig mic alleviate this with the sensitivity button?

external mic
Hi there,
As I was poking around I stumbled upon the above extermal mike, the seller claims to be the only one selling compatible external wired microphones. I'll keep you updated as soon as I get my hands on it.

Ego,
Hi
New to this forum. I play in a tribute band and we want to record some of our rehearsals. The camera on my note is really good but the external mic is waaaay too sensitive. I did use the supplied earpiece that comes with the note, which has a tiny mic, which worked really well recording really loud music off my mac speakers but not sure it will pick up enough frequencies in the rehearsal room. (I am going to try it live but in the meantime will and will put the recording of my mac up on youtube) However I used to use a Sony ecm ds70p on a mini disc years ago but it has long since gone. The live audio quality was always really good with this little mic so I am thinking of getting another one. As far as I am aware the Sony has only a three pole 3.5mm jack but I would need a mic with a 4 pole 3.5mm jack, (I think I have that right???) to be able to record into the Note.
Can someone confirm whether this mic will work out of the box...I have a feeling not...or is there a converter jack that I can buy that would allow the use of the three pole jack in a 4 pole socket. Really hoping this is possible and that there is something out there..problem is I am not too sure how to word a google or forum search on this.
Any help would be really great.
Many thanks
Think you guys might find this interesting. Just plugged in the standard ear buds halfway through and used the tiny mic on there...
I am not allowed to post the link as I haven't done enough posts! If you go to youtube and search for
eGcpHidB6VY you should find it. Worth a watch.

This Microphone can't work. Look:
A headphone 4 pins (sound + mic) have 4 contact, beginning for the point are : Sound Left, Sound Right, Ground, Microphone.
If You see the 3º contact of microphone Sony is big then others. It make contact whit Ground + Microphne. Are short circuited.
Can't work this.
A external Mic can work but w/ a connector 4 pins, using only the 3º and the 4º contact (the 2 side cable).

Look here:
http://www.ikmultimedia.com/products/irigmic/
The connector have 4 contacts. The 1º and 2º from the point are the sound to white cable. The 3º is ground (common) and 4º are the Mic to black cable.
The question here is. This is a normal 3,5 pin like on Android's or is proprietary from Apple? On that site enter on Store and choice the Dealer more near You.
Hi guys this is my first post here [excuse my bad English]
So i gave my phone to a repair guy because of the device have been broken. After repair the small microphone for calling is not working. Also the main speakers is not working when i play music or videos. But it WORKS when i receive an incoming call or a notification sound.
I formatted the phone but nothing happened. If you know the solution i would really appreciate if you leave a comment.
Anybody ???
I have had the same situation b4, but it was bc I WAS using an audio mod, and it somehow is malfunctioning with the speakers, causing it not being able to play musics/videos, while the notification and alarm sounds still works.
So, having said that, were u using an audio mod? If you were, removing it could be a solution.

Yeah well, then this situation is kinda...weird. Did you try plugging a headphone, play a song, then pull it out and press the play button? Somehow this will make the phone's speaker work. But it's just a makeshift solution, you can't just rely on it for, like ever.

Don't worry bro. I have experience of disassembling my phone and reassembling it. I quess the problem is because that the repair guy did not fix the speaker module correctly .Everything in our phone is just press and lock system. If it is not correctly fixed / if lose contact is there.,Secondary microphone and speaker issue will arise. If you are brave enough to do it by yourself go ahead like i did it for myself. But i should warn you opening your phone might void your warranty. Use below videos to disassemble and understand where is speaker module located. You can easily identify the speaker module as , headphone jack, speaker, primary camera comes in a single plastic unit.

The only thing I would add is to take care of replacing the double-sided sticky gasket before putting the back cover on when reassembling the phone. Without it, there is no seal around the back cover (the fit is quite loose, even with latches and all), and all the dust and dirt that is supposed to be kept out of your phone will get in. Use either a proper seal made specifically for your phone (can be ordered online), or some quality tape from 3M or similar. When I was replacing a battery in my ZL, I took an unused gasket that was left over from one of my previous repairs (Xperia Z1), and cut pieces from it to size. Worked perfectly.

Hey people, I was wondering if anyone has had the faulty headphones issue. After a few days, my headphones stopped working properly, there was a lot of static and they need to be pushed and held towards the screen to function again. This is going on with 3 pairs so it's a phone fault.Maybe all the tech savvy experts here can chime in and propose something.
Thanks!
I have the exact same issue since yesterday... I already tried to clean the headphone jack with no effect so far.
I will unscrew the device and have a closer look at the headphone jack when I find time. Probably not today.

Sadly it's not the same problem visi0nary describes on his blog. The Mass contact is fine.
I had the phone open for a few minutes and it seems like all contact wrap thight around the plug. I guess the problem is a broken soldered point at the back of the circuit board.
I had no time to remove the board completly and check the back.
Maybe you can ask your repair shop guy what he did to fix it? Thanks.

Hey shadowseed,
I took it to a couple of guys in downtown Athens and none said they wanna take a look at an Elephone. And these were techie Asian guys lol. Let me know if you find anything via pm or through here. Thanks. I'll keep looking myself otherwise I'll buy bluetooth headphones.
the problem with bluetooth headphones is that Elephone set the Bluetooth A2DP Bitpool to 35 (basically means compressed data = better range and quicker transfer rate ) which results in terrible sound quality over Bluetooth audio.
I'm not an audiophile but I can't listen to music over bluetooth in my car like I used to with my previous device, it sounds horrible.
This is a software issue but it can't be fixed with a root app or something like this, it's set in the bluetooth drivers. There is a setting under "Sounds & Notifications" called "Lossless BT-Mode", but it does nothing... or not enough, I'm not sure. The Bitpool needs to be raised to 52 or higher for "lossless" mp3 playback.
I wouldn't have bought this phone if I had known this...
UPDATE: I fixed it. This soldering point broke. I didn't solder it, I put a piece of cardboard under the circuit board which presses against the shell. I did this yesterday in the afternoon and used it multiple times since then, it seems to work great.
Put some solder on every point now. That fixed the problems for me, looked like there was no solder there.
Same on my phone >.< seems that the headphone jack has been horribly designed/built then!
The design is excellent, but there are multiple points with no solder on top, just glued or something. That can obviously not work in the long term.. The fix is very easy if you have a soldering iron, you don't need precision tools.
Hello
I have the same problem. I've bought it a few days ago (it has not one month).
What can I do? This phone is warranted?
Thanks,
Diego

Could you please give us a detailed tutorial on how to open up the elephone?
I've tried it today (got the same problem) and failed on removing the white case from the fingerprint scanner.
You can see here: KlickKlack
I've tried soldering the points today and the connection seems more stable for now.
No more bzzing in idle when using headphones (Teufel Aureol), but the quality still sounds like some bad compressed mp3.
Pushing the plug (display frontfacing) to the back left seems to fix the problem.
I've tried putting cardboard between the 3.5mm port and the casing of the phone but no luck.
When using in-ears (some cheap philips) there is still a semi-loud bzzing in the backgroud and since the cable goes sideways there is no way of getting a stable connction.
Did I do faulty soldering or might I've broken the port with the soldering iron?

I had the problem that the right in ear speaker didn't work but the left one was okay. But after some time even the left got worse and wasn't usable anymore.
Then I opened the Elephone and soldered the parts of the audio jack (like in the picture above).
It improved the audio quality but it still works only for the left speaker. How do I get both working?

Hi,
My unit has a built in Mic, (little hole on the front).
It sounds like I'm underwater, I've seen a post about cutting capacitors which is beyond my skills.
Is it worth buying an external mic, and wiring it in, assuming there is a port at the back. Or will the result be the same as its all in the circuitry?
Thanks.
As long as you don't make the mod your mic is still going to sound bad. The external mic
is normally in parallel with the built in. One of things you do during the modification is to
separate the internal from the external, hence the removal of the capacitor/Short. Take it to a shop and modify it.
Is it the case in 100% of the KGL HUs? I have a newer Erisin HU and have no C32 on Board so I was a little bit confused if in my case both Microphones run parallelly.

Since you didn't tell the brand I just went for the symptom. Do you have the same BT-board as in the picture
from the modification thread. It might be another SMD-component in your case. Sometimes it's a capacitor,
sometimes a 0 Ohm resistor.

The Brand is Erisin ES 2698V - so a KGL unit. My BT Boards looks similar like that in the picture but differs in the C32 capacitor and in descriptions (I have no descriptions like MIC+ and so on on the Pins). The HU is actually built in my car so I cannot take a pic for you - sorry.

When you pull it out, beep it from the same pin as in the picture of the BT board. That way you will find
your component, being a cap, short or a = Ohm resistor.

Good. Write it down in the BT-thread, your HU brand and the cap-number for others to find it easy. :laugh:
I just bought a JY 2.73 Double Din unit and have the poor microphone quality issue for phone calls. I've seen threads about rerouting the external microphone wiring to connect to the internal microphone wiring. I understand this is done because the internal and external microphones are thought to interfere with each other.
My question is whether we can leave the external microphone connection as is (maybe add some shielding to it) but just cut the microphone connections between the bluetooth card and the main board. Can anyone say whether this worked for them?
Thanks,

Desoldering the internal mic worked well in my mtcd (as an option to remove a jumper or component was not an option) and for my mtcb, tracing the mic+ from the display board to the main board I was able to remove a jumper/zero ohm resistor. The latter is desirable as lowest noise option.
Would putting a small piece of tape on the internal mic hole not achieve the same?
