[Q] Is the Streak's Jack powered? And how is it wired? - Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Two questions about the Dell Streak that I'm desperately trying to answer to see if external mics (especially those with condensers can be used)...
1. Is there any power out provided by the streak's headphone jack?
2. Does anyone know the wiring chart for the steak headphone jack? i.e. is it wired like an iPhone or a Droid?
Thanks,
Matt

DON'T BUY THIS ADAPTER... unless you have an extra 2.5mm mic (cell handsfree set) to plug into the smaller jack shown on photo (the bigger jack is for the 3.5mm audio plug). This adapter WILL DISABLE YOUR XDA IIs MICROPHONE and route it to the 2.5mm microphone jack (cellphone handsfree set).
BUY THIS ONE INSTEAD --> http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=118289 It won't disable your XDA IIs microphone. It only routes audio to the 3.5mm jack. Your built in XDA IIs microphone will still work
anywhere cheaper than this though, seems a rip off for what it is.

Headphones for TP2

Hi all,
Can the TP2 support headphones from the iPhone? By that, I mean controlling the phone and mic coming from the 3.5mm jack?
If so, can anyone suggest a set of buds that work well?
Thanks1
Well, I answered my own question today. iPhone headset plays back audio, phone calls, but the mic does not work.
So we're still left with the question: what headset will work?
i am using HTC RC E100 as headphone adapter. It's remote controller with 3,5mm jack on it... pretty cool thinngy but with pretty ****y cable (
ditto the HTC E100. Controls plus mic. I soldered a pair of etymotics drivers onto a shorty 6" cable that allows me use with the TP2 (via the E100) or my ipod (via a headphone extension).

[Q] How to 3.5mm microphone input with 3.5mm stereo output?

What I need to do with my atrix is plug in a microphone via 3.5mm jack and playback over 3.5mm output to stereo. I've seen adapters to plug in with stereo 3.5mm and microphone 3.5mm to 1 3.5mm jack. I know the atrix has multi functions on the 3.5mm jack. I wasn't sure how I could harness this function within the Android OS?
So I plan on getting a studio quality microphone with a standard 3.5mm jack. I'll be plugging this into the atrix by a 2 way dongle if that's possible? Input/output dongle? Then it'll be outputting the audio from the microphone to the speakers for amplification or whatever output source of choice.
Usually I'd use my laptop to do this function. However, my laptop is a huge pain to use and I'd prefer to use my phone since it's way more convenient.
THANKS GUY'S!
Can the atrix record from external microphone?
Studio mike to mini Jack is s waste of time. You need a balanced cannon socket to get the benefit.

Thats cool I was wondering if I could record using an external microphone?
I can record from the Mic on my headphones, do I don't see why not.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk 2
That's great to know. So then how could I then playback what's being recorded in real time?
Sounds like you are trying to use it as a multi track recorder. Have you tried one of the multi track apps? Something like audio evolution et al?

Great idea. Now that's promising! If there's an app that can precisely control each individual steps on the 3.5mm jack. There might be several functions available like spdif out via 3.5mm dongle or something? Or a audio brick with a microphone input and stereo output so once that cable is dialed in. It should honestly work perfectly. As long as the app can hold it's own. I'll check it out.
What cable do you think I should use for this function?
Any other apps available? How easy would it be to write?
You're looking into making your Atrix to act like external audio interface with low latency monitoring. No, AFAIK you won't get satisfying results on any android device. It has something to do how android drivers handle audio. I was looking into iRig for android and found out that it's not going to happen.
However, high quality recording is possible. You would need adapter with preamplifier. I found a perfect one (MIKI) and have seen it in action. It enables your android device to use any dynamic mic for recording. Using appropriate adapter with this you could even use condenser mics. Price tag of €100 is the only thing that's holding me back to buy it.
Accompany it with app such as PC Recorder and you're all set to go.
Yeah, the audio stack in Android is pretty crap. I'm guessing it's the whole running in a java vm instead of native code?
My old 2007 2G iPhone with its 128MB RAM and ~500MHz cpu works fine as guitar effects processor, my last year's dual core Atrix with 1GB RAM lags like a mofo. As does every Android phone we tried. Get the basics right Google!

I need to plug in a mic into android phone then playback over the 3.5mm stereo output.
THANKS
Good news everyone!

Can't find a place where I can buy the software and cables and accessories to do this. I'd be very interested to buy it.

[Q] TRRS Jack

Some of the 3.5mm headphone jacks are TRRS, which allow for a headphone/microphone combination, i.e. http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Stereo-Headset-Microphone-Smartphones/dp/B008PXMWIW. I want to use this with my Huaweii Prism; the internal microphone that comes with the Prism is terrible. If I buy a TRS to TRRS adapter, will the microphone work (be compatible)?
Thanks,

Galaxy tab 2 white headphones mod

So I want to turn the galaxy tab 2 10.1 white headphones into a 3.5mm jack to 3.5mm Jack WITH the control still intact.
Anyone know of any guides or links?
So currently it's looks like the pics below - 3.5mm to control (on one headphone wire) to headphone.
I want it to go 3.5mm to control to 3.5mm.
Now just to confirm because I think I do need to strip both headphones - for left and right audio.
The reason for this mod is so I can control the tab 2s volume while driving.
Thanks in advance

Hello, I can't say I understood everything you said, but I will do my best.
It's going to be complicated, because even if you use an P2-RCA adapter, the commands are set up with some specific resistances applied through the wire itself.
Why don't you look for a bluetooth solution? Like the Nokia BH214 (or BH111), for example. You just pair it with the Tab, and plug the sound output into the amplifier.
PS: I have never tried such bluetooth device, but I've read that it works with most Android devices.
Bluetooth audio quality is poor I've tested in the passed and isn't the best audio with the ease of connection.
Yes it has something to do with the internals of the control so I'll most likely cut the headphones and link the left and right headphone wires together and solder to a 3.5mm jack
Probably the easiest way.
