Does your phone have a headphone jack? If so you can buy a microphone that plugs into that port, then you can use a voice memo app to record audio.

you'll get MUCH better fidelity with an external mic. You can even use one through the USB port for an even more powerful one.

Is it possible to use the tablet S (paired to a driod X) as a speaker phone in the same manner as as using a bluetooth headset?

I think headsets were designed specifically to act as bluetooth speakers with your phone and contain all the necessary hardware and software to do such. Your tablet s has no such hardware or software; yes, it has bluetooth, but it is not designed to operate that way. Maybe if somebody wrote a software program to do it, it could, but for the mean time, no your tablet will not work as a speaker for your phone.
I have been able to pair my droidx with the tablet, but not much else. Has anyone been able to stream or transfer files between the two?

Rarely use Bluetooth tho, mostly ftp share (also possible with FE)

Well I'm sure thats not what u meant, but its the only way afaik. U could get urself an online number (e.g. Swype) and just forward all calls from ur droid X to this number.
Works fine, but I was told the caller didnt understand me as clear as he did with my phone's speaker turned on.
not the answer to the OP's question, but its the answer to the thread question is
GrooveIp
set up your google voice number to use google talk as one of you forwarding phone numbers,
the sign into groove ip.
free calls over wifi
this should be a sticky somewhere mods
Can the GS2 record with from an external audio source via 4 pole mic? headset with built in mic peerhaps? What about bluetooth?
Also can anyone suggest where to get a 3.5mm to 3.5mm jack that is 4 pole?
I've gave up looking at ebay.
EDIT: Does not seem to record from bluetooth.
Nor mic without a 4 pole connector, Which I am still trying to find.
Bump!
Looking for your knowlege, Don have access to my headset with mic, Could someone test it?
I'm actually in the same boat as you. So far, I've seen conflicting reports. Some people say that external mics won't work with the stock camera app, some people say that any 4-conductor (TRRS) mic will work just fine, and some people say that you have to use a y-cable to be able to plug in a standard mic.
That said, I did find something called the i-Microphone that's supposed to work. There is even a video on YouTube where someone successfully tested it on the SGS2.
I can't post external links in my posts yet (haven't been here long enough), so you'll have to search for these using the terms below.
(1) Y-Cable:
Search Amazon for: Headset Buddy01-PC35-PH35)
(2) i-Microphone:
Search Google for: i-Microphone
(3) i-Microphone Test Video:
Search YouTube for: Samsung Galaxy S2 External Microphone vs Internal Test
Let me know if you find something that works for you!
I have discovered that the default camera app will not record audio from an external source.

I can use the headset that came with the phone, and audio records through that... (albeit in mono)
Or are you talking about something else?
I forget im running on CM9.
I tried a inline headset but no luck.
I found this http://www.ebay.com/itm/TINY-TIE-CL...quipment_ET&hash=item3f1772ae7e#ht_1476wt_978
which is supposed to connect to as a smartphone and work as an external mic. I was wondering if anyone has ever tried something like this on i717.
Also , what kind of camera app should I use in order to enable recording from this mic ?
By itself, it will not. It is using the connections that the headphones would use. Most likely it would play sounds and not record them. You would need to find an adapter.
Hi guys,
Is it possible to record via the 3.5mm headphone socket of the Galaxy SII via a cable?
Answers would be appreciated!
Thanks!
I think you can record via headphones mic.
I dunno you can always try and see if it works

I have tried just using the standard sound recorder app but all I get is recording through normal mic.
Yes, you can do this. I suspect your problem is in your PCs mixer setup. If you are using Windows, different versions have different ways of getting there, but typically thru Control Panel, Sounds & Audio Devices. Select Mixer Device: audio input for your sound card. You will get a set of controls for each input device. You can select the one you want to use and adjust its volume. I suspect you may be set to use line input but connecting to mic or something like that. It's easiest to check if you use a microphone and audio source (e.g., CD player) for "test" sources and playing with controls til you get recording ok. Then plug you mobile into the same jack.
Good Luck.

I believe the question was about recording ON the phone, not FROM the phone...

Yup, I want to record on the phone, from the stereo.

I don't suppose anyone has anything else to add to this thread? It would be really useful if I could get the phone recording audio input through it's headphone jack...

Frankly, I don't need it, but just out of curiosity I tried using the standard voice recorder with a mic on a stock headset, and it worked perfectly. So, as long as you have a mic properly connected to your audio socket, you should be all good to go. "Regular" mic will not work, as it has a different connector pinout. Basically, your 3.5mm jack wiring should be like this (starting from the tip, going towards the cable): L-Out | R-Out | GND | Mic. This is the standard pinout used in most phones, including Sammy. On Nokia handsets and some old phones GND and Mic are reversed.
Excuse my bumping, but surely someone has a definitive answer and doesn't mind sharing it with me?

Did you read my previous post? I thought I was quite specific about my test, and even gave you the pinout for the mic...

Sorry, I was posting from my phone!
Thanks very much, your response is very helpful!
I will investigate getting the right cable!
EDIT---
Seems that I would only be able to record in mono that way... So not fit for my purpose
Thanks for all the help guys!

Oh, that's what you are trying to do... OK, it's clear now. In this case, the answer is most definitely negative -- the phone's audio connector only has a microphone mono input. I don't believe such combo connectors (with stereo out and stereo in) even exist in 3.5 mm standard... I personally have never seen one, or heard of it.
Hello at XDA forums.
Looking for a good daily rom, that also activates use of external mic, not headset, but actual external mic through USB cable.
Need it for work in the field to record interviews and such, and would preffer not having to get a newer model phone.
Tried searching different sites, threads and roms, but dont find any that specifies activating use of external mic.
I think it is only the usb driver in the p20 lite, so it shouldnt be that big of an issue, but who knows .
Thanks in advance

It depends on stock hardware. Try to activate ext. mic. using this Camera
thanks for your reply!.
I know the p20 lite allegedly does not support ext mic, if i ask huawei thats the answer.
But that does not mean it could not work with flashing another rom into it.
They say it only supports basic mic through mini jack / supported headsets.
I am looking to use a propper mic through usb connection, to record VO, interviews and such.
Can i try this Camera download without rooting it ?.
Installed it and will try with external mic attached later on tight and report back with findings, thanks.
