Would like to get reasonabe sound quality to video even outside and a little wind...
If you have a sponge, cut out a tiny piece and stick it around the mic. It prevents the annoying blowing sounds. There really is nothing else to do about the wind sounds.
If you want 44,1 kHz audio, you need one of the custom roms that has the HQ camera mod.
I just did a test with 2 different earbuds w/mic. the Camera app doesn't seem to use the external microphone when recording video, it just uses the internal mic. When I used the voice recorder app it does indeed use the external mic and makes a huge difference.
I have a Rode videomic at home. I'll try it later today vs a headset but I expect the same results.
very disappointing.

How did you use external mic with voice redorder app, then?

If that is really so, maybe there would be market opportunity for new accessory: easy attachable pieces of sponge

For the voice recorder app it just uses it automatically if its plugged in, same as playback is when you plug in headphones.
Unfortunately the Camera app does not operate this way which should be the normal or standard way of working when you plug in a headset/mic.
I would call it either a bug or poor design. Not sure if a hack could fix it and I don't think there are any 3rd party apps that record in HD and same quality that would use the mic if plugged in.
Do you think it's possible in any way to monitor from external mic (while recording audio) trough a bluetooth headset?
That way you could have cable free audio monitoring which would be particularly useful when I connect my external mic with a splitter cable to both the SGS II and a Zoom H4n.
I'll have quality audio for sure but I hate to be connected to my recording device with a cable for the headphones.
And I'd like to do just that with preferably the hardware I currently have.
I like mixing gadgets up for new usage scenario's
Forgive my ignorance, but I came across this thread looking for information on recording video while using an external microphone for capturing the audio.
So, are you saying it is impossible (at the moment)?
Any update on a possible way to record video with an external microphone? And which time of Microphone.
Apologies for bumping an old thread but I'll do it anyway just in case it helps even one person looking for the answers I was.
Recording video using an external microphone is possible, using one that's plugged into the 3.5mm socket. It appears, however, that you need to be running a ROM that's based on 2.3.5 or higher.
Another thread (which I now can't find) said that you might need a 'Y-splitter' (to split the phone's 3.5mm socket to separate headset and microphone connectors), but these cost very little.

Recording videos using an external mic works with my SII on Android 2.3.4
So since I am using a S3 now, if I get a Zoom H1 or a Rode Videopro, will I get stereo audio for my video recording?
Sorry for crashing in a old thread.
Hi,
I have samsung vibrant, and have car stereo with bt handsfree, the problem is that the microphone of the car stereo has bad quality, the other side can't hear me.
The vibrant's mic is very good even if the phone is far away
My question is how I can disable bluetooth mic and use the phone internal one? Only the audio from the phone will be routed to the car stereo?
I searched all over the net but nothing, just a lot that searching solution like me.
Searched in android api for microphone disable,there is only mute procedure, no route/disabling.
Maybe some hack, I played with audio service menu of the sgs not found something there
Don't want use aux port for this
Please developers put attention that thing is usefull for a lot of users
Thanks

I've got a Droid Bionic and I'm wondering if it's possible to edit a bluetooth profile so that the phone uses the normal built-in microphone, but uses bluetooth for the speaker output. I've got a bluetooth car system with a worthless microphone, but people say that they can hear me great when the phone is in the car dock and I'm using speakerphone mode. Unfortunately the speaker on my Bionic isn't very loud, and unusable in louder situations.
Thanks.
Why don't you simply plug your Headphone-Jack to your Car-Radio
Not an option with my setup, plus the BT module automatically cuts off whatever playing, and works even if the stereo is off.

I was wondering if anyone has any issues playing audio from their note 3 to a vizio soundbar. I am running temasek v45 with lean kernel 1.2.
The audio plays, but skips like crazy, and I have to keep the phone right in front of the soundbar to make it NOT skip.
Any suggestions?

Try stock rooted rom and kernel.

I had this problem when I was using a galaxy gear. I ultimately got rid of the gear and all the apps on the phone pertaning to it and had to flash the stock kernel. Now no more skipping even from another room. If it matters I use poweramp and viper for android. I am not sure if it is because of the low energy bluetooth used by the gear or what .... just my experience.
I am stock rooted and don't have a Galaxy Gear. My audio plays just fine on my Vizio S4251W-B4.
I'm not a BT guru so maybe someone can explain this to me. When I have the soundbar paired as Media audio and my Plantronics Voyager Pro headset paired as Call audio only, the headset doesn't work and phone calls ring in the soundbar.
