I've tried AOKP build 6, Hellybean and CM 10.1 on my Samsung Fascinate, but my external microphone (iRig mic Cast) doesn't work on any of them. The mic does work on the stock ROMs though.
The the recording apps that work with the mic on stock ROMS don't work with the external mic in other ROMs.
I want to use the device for interviews and portable podcasting, but would really not like to be stuck with a stock ROM.
Are external mics just not a feature of custom ROMs?

That's a tough one,,, I ran allot of jellybean/kitkat ROMs and kept trying to use the paypal card reader which plugs into the audio jack and also had no luck getting it to work,,,
I even was talking to the dev of geewiz ROM as he was actively fixing some other audio issues at the time, he even got a card reader to try and his worked but mine never would...
Guess it's hit & miss
.
Thanks for the lead about Geewiz and audio. I'll try it out and let ya know.

I have one major issue with the thunderbolt and it is 100% a software issue. I believe ASOP roms or desensed roms may fix the issue and would like someone to verify before I purchase.
The issue is as follows:
* Plug in Normal headphones or aux cable without a inline mic and attempt to make a phone call or receive one....the other side cannot hear you till you either put them on speakerphone or unplug your headset/aux cable.
* All other Mic required application will still work Google V search, Skype, etc, just the built in dialer doesn't.
What I'm interested in:
* People with custom roms/kernels testing above and letting me know if the Mic isn't getting muted for them when they "Plug in Normal headphones or aux cable without a inline mic and attempt to make a phone call or receive one"
* What Rom/kernels you are using.
/bump ten char
I've experienced the same thing on various roms, not sure of a fix. Happens on das BAMF, tesla, and the pre-alpha CM7
I bought my TB from my buddy specifically because that was a #1 requirement for him. Bluetooth stereo with hands free and A2DP for me
i've heard of this issue on non-sense roms, but didn't have the stock rom on the phone long enough to test this...
It's due to the noise cancellation stuff in the device...

Any way around it?
I've been using the Shure MPA-3C adapter for several phones now. Worked great with my TP2 and DX. You can use any headphones you like and since it provides the mic there is no hacking required.
Www dot shure dot com/americas/products/earphones-headphones/music-mobile/mpa-music-phone-adapter
I heard that HTC is aware of the issue and is working on a fix. (i think i read it in a forum on android central). Would be nice to be able to use the regular mic with headphones.
Does the fascinate have an in-line microphone on the headphone jack?
I'm trying to use a Square card reader which uses the jack in-line microphone but it doesn't work. I am running CM7.1 nightly 122, so I'm not sure if it's a problem with the ROM, my specific phone, or the fascinate i general. The card reader does work in my iPod Touch and my wife's Captivate (also running CM7.1, stable).
Anyone have any insight? Thanks!
I don't know about CM7.1 but the fascinate does have an inline mic, i've used it... stock rom, and GeeWiz both work.
Redeyes was on irc and trying to get it to work. It seems that the inline and ground (or something similar to that) have been switched in cm7 for some reason. Such devices should still work on touchwiz based roms.
Afaik there is no fix for cm7

I wonder if it could be fixed for AOSP? That would be most excellent IMO, I'd like to be able to use that feature of my headphones, but not bad enough to run a stock rom.
It does work on my Captive i897 running cm7.1 stable, perhaps that could be looked into to get a fix for the fascinate?
Having the same issues
I have also been having issues with the square reader. I did see someone suggest once that the plastic ring around the jack may have been impeding the connection, but after removing it, it still does not work. I've tried stock rom on the thing and I've tried CM7 stable and nightly 112 with no progress. I really hope this thread gets noticed a bit more so the problem could possibly be fixed in the near future. I'm currently on CM7 stable with no special radios added or anything. Here's hoping that something comes along soon.
I know it doesn't work on any GB AOSP builds, but I believe I read that external mics are working on AOKP build 27. I'm gonna try today...
~~~~There is no spoon~~~~
a bit more info,
Mic headphone jack does not work on any AOSP build EVER! JT never got it working properly and no one has ever fixed it. This means no headphone mic on ICS or GB AOSP builds, no CM anything.
This was all to get the square up reader working. I decided to flip the ground and mic wires on the square adapter itself, this did not work. Finally I loaded an AOKP build on a Droid Incredible and the same build on my Fassy, the Inc worked fine with the square app and mic worked. Fassy, no go.
In the end, the mic isn't active and it most likely will never be fixed. Time to move on I suppose.
I've searched for this problem, found some stuff that is close but I haven't been able to find it exactly.
Speakerphone and built-in microphone work fine.
But when I use my headset (Bose MIE2), the microphone fades in and out when I am on a call. People say it will sound fine and then start to sound "tinny" or like I'm "in a can". Seems like this happens when I stop talking and they speak and the background noise becomes louder to the caller. And it doesn't last. It fades in and out, several times on a call.
This headset worked fine on stock AT&T Gingerbread.
About two months ago, I decided to root my phone for the first time and install a modded ROM. So I flashed CM7. Headphone mic worked fine on CM7.
Bose microphone was also working fine on CM9 - one of the early release candidates.
At that point, flashing became easy so I started on the nightlies (I'm sounding like an addict, aren't I? I feel like one!!!).
Then I found my dream flasher/pusher, Task! I've been on AOKP ROM (currently up to date on the 5.1.2012 release) ever since. Awesome ROM, if you haven't tried it.
Still having the headphone mic issue though.
I've wiped fully several times (yes, I read every post in your thread, Task), trying to clear this up.
I also wondered if the headphones where jacked so I returned them to Bose and the new pair is presenting the same issue.
I have read all about the built-in mic swapping issues with the different kernels.
I've tried NEAK and Siyah and I'm careful to be sure I have the mic swapping versions for AOKP/CM. My phone does not like NEAK at all. Loves Siyah - getting fantastic battery life (14 hours today, 27% screen time and WiFi on all day with 20% battery remaining) and responsive. I'm currently on the latest Siyah ICS [v3.2rc1] with UC 200 to 1000, lulz/vr only. It is also awesome, thanks, Ktoonsez!
I'm wondering if that mic swapping on the phone has anything to do with the mic on the headset.
Also, is there anything else I can check to help troubleshoot this in more detail?
Finally, are there any controls for headphone mics or even microphone settings in ROM Control or anywhere else that can be adjusted?
Thanks for your help in advance!
The NEAK kernel only has one choice for Tasks rom, no need to pick between mic swap.

There's your problem. You have to use the AOSP version bro.

I'm wishing it was that simple. On NEAK, I've tried the AOSP - still have the issue. My phone freezes too often on that kernel.
On Siyah, I get the mic swap version for AOKP/CM - still having the issue.
The latest Siyah runs like a beast and gets fantastic battery, just has the fading issue.

I'm trying to find ICS or JB Roms that have A2DP support. Until today I've been running Unnamed 2.2.1 which works great with my car's stereo and I'm able to stream pretty much whatever I want.
But wanting to update my phone to the latest android versions I started flashing some Roms and I haven't found one that would stream music via Bluetooth to my car's stereo.
Roms I've tried so far with no luck are:
CM9 Stable
AOKP JB (10.5.2012)
Slim Bean
SuperNexus Build 2 & 3
Aberration 1.3
Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.
I've been able to use A2DP to my car stereo on both cm9 and cm10. Make sure you delete the pairing on your stereo before connecting again after you flash a new ROM. That may be your problem.

Thanks for the response. I deleted all the saved paired devices from my car and I tried again with both CM9 stable and CM10 latest nightly and the stereo receives the song's info but it when I press play it the phone gets stuck playing on 0:01 of the song and nothing happens after that.
A2DP seems to be broken in a lot of kernels from reading around the dev forum. Try a different one.
Edit: Kernel, not rom.

Thanks for the response. I installed CM9 stable with the next kernels:
Siyah-v4.1.6-mswap
N.E.A.K-2.0.6x-AOSP
fluxi-xx-I777-7-29-2012
And still no luck getting a2dp working. I'm starting to think that it might be my car's stereo, I have clarion head units on all 3 of my vehicles and they all use "Parrot bluetooth module" whatever that means.
What I still find weird is that the Rom I'm running right now works great, so I guess I'll be running GB while I figure out how to get this working with a ICS or JB Rom.
I too am having the same problem with the A2DP support. I just flashed my 1st ROM on my GS3 and I'm not getting any audio through my car stereo speakers. Are most of the JB ROMS lacking this support? By looking at most of the posts, A2DP support seems to be broken. Almost makes we want to revert back to stock ICS :crying:
ROM currently running: Codename Android 3.6.6

Or you could look at it this way: He's providing another data point that says that a different JB rom on a different device has the same problem. That more than likely points to a problem in JB with A2DP that is not just on the i777...

No, I look at it like it's about a different phone that has nothing to do with ours. And needs to be posted in the proper section.
Hi .. I have an CDMA Evo 3D with the mic built inside broken/disfunctional. I have to use a headsets to talk on my phone till I get it fix.
Problem is I have BEATs earbud w/o mic that I use with sense rom but it works for talking. When I flash over to JB rom or Sense 4.0/4.1 . When making calls the person won't hear me even with the headsets on..
I'm aware that the headsets doesn't have a Mic but it worked on Sense roms , wondering why would it stop working on JB & and other Roms ?.

How in the world do headphones without a microphone work as a microphone?!?
Some other witchcraft is going on here. Maybe the headphones being plugged in causes the broken microphone to work?
This certainly is strange. How can earphones w/o mic enable you to use a mic that is busted
All beats earphones have built in mic AFAIK. In that case its probably because the sense roms have beats support and the others dont

Makes sense Eminem. So maybe the headphones have a hidden built in microphone that the op didn't see. That does seem to be the only plausible explanation. Or Halloween witchcraft.
i just checked beatsbydre site and all 4 earphones have built-in mic

I see thanks for finding that out for me . But the question is why wouldn't it work on ASOP roms or JB roms? It does work for me on
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1640134 which does support beats audio...So I'm guessing what was stated is true, It works for me because the Rom has beats supported, and the others don't now that I think of it.
You could try to install something like Beats Installer from the store or Awesome Beats from this site. They bring Beats to AOSP ROMs (or something like Beats).
Thanks so much for the advice!! I downloaded the installer on Play Store and now it works well with MIUI JB ROM
