Friends,
I have the AT&T tilt and was wondering if there was a device that allows usb hardware interface to the tilt for direct recording?
Long story short, I am interested in recording my heart rate, breathing, pulse during sleep. I know this can be done with a computer using apps like soundforge etc. But does the tilt have this ability besides using vito audio notes for mic recording?
Please advise,
Thank You,
Tvos
You can purchase external microphones for the Tilt. I have a couple... the best one is from http://www.pocketpctechs.com/
If they're not good enough, you can hack them and add your own element. They're simple condenser mics.
From an application side, I use the free HTC recorder application. There are links to it on this site.
the microphone I am using is connected directly into a stethoscope, so I don't need external micr. Just the adapter connector that reverses the signal for the tilt to pick-up and record.
please advise of the microphones and the link -

I am not aware of any microphone cables that will patch yours in out of the box. It's a simple matter to make one though if you're so inclined, assuming yours is not a powered microphone and that the impedances are close.
i thought there would be a simple adapater that you could connect usb interface and then record the signal in?
no, the mic I am using is a radio shack $15.00 with battery power, but low impedence.

Nope.. I'm afraid a little cutting and splicing would be required for that project. It's a simple task.

I got no response in the stocking up for it forum so ill try here...
Hopefully you guys are a bit more clued up...
I have switched from XDA to XDA II
On the XDA the audio out pins (3 + 4) used provide audio out all the time.
This was great for mp3 playing and sat nav instructions but no so good if you wanted to wire to stereo and use the radio mute function of the stereo.
On the XDA II the same pins now seem to only provide audio out during a call. not even the ring tone is transmitted out - it only cuts in when the call is answered.
Does anyone know of a way of making the XDA II behave like the XDA in this matter and provide all audio out all the time.
I dont mind if its a piece of software, a registry hack or a pin I need to short or anything.
I just want to be able to return to having my sat nav instructions and mp3 files play through the speakers.
I use TomTom Navigator 2...
Thanks in advance for any help...
i hade the same problem
i figured out i had to + or - something to a pin
i cant remember just now wich one
problem then was, you need a preamped mic in singal for talking cause internal mic is disabled
Where did you get your info from so i can go looking...
Did you try grounding 19 (CAR_ON#) like it says on http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/Connectors ?
"When this pin is connected to ground, the internal mike and speaker are turned off, and audio input is taken from the audio input pin on the connector, for use in real car kits."
Haven't tried it myself...

i believe that the XDA car kit does this...
but the xda behaves differently than the xda ii
the xda is audio on all the time and the xda ii is audio only during a call
Im looking into this at the mo. My idea is a cable from the XDA2 to a box, the box will have a 3.5mm socket with audio out to the car stereo (audio from phone and mp3 playback etc), 3.5mm for an external mic input. 5v power out to charge/supply the XDA2, power out and data link to garmin eTex GPS. The data side is easy to do. i just need to run the testes on the audio side.

Hi! Is your TDI the PD? Would you be able to hear something?
I just can't believe it is not described here!
XDA-Developers seem to be a very competent and sophisticated site dedicated to XDA1+2. How it is possible that description of XDA2's four-pin 2.5mm jack isn't described here (including those two buttons)?

Because we simply haven't yet taken the litlle XDA2 thingy apart. (I have been meaning to for the longest time, but simply haven't gotten around to it.)
Friends,
Could someone tell me if there is a way to capture audio from a microphone (handheld) and direct the signal into the Tilt using the usb connector?
Please advise if this is possible. I did some searching around town, didn't come up with much thats out there.
Tvos
Should be doable -- there is a mike input pin on the extUSB connector, for use with a wired headset (which comes standard with non-AT&T versions of the phone). Just find a compatible headset or a headset adapter with a built-in mike and use that -- or take the headset/adapter & replace the mike with a jack and plug in the mike of your choice. The xda-devs store would probably be a good place to start your search.
i'm using normal 3.5mm headphones to listen to music on my pocketpc and i always have to remove the headphones when talking to a person.
so i'm asking if there is any possibility to activate the phone's mic although a headset is connected?
ya i also want to know .
would be handy for sure...
I think it has something to do with the 3.5 headphone adapter type. When I used certain ones I would not be able to use the mic but when I used a cheap adapter from Radio Shack it would...

There is something in post 8 and also a HW hack but this involves new HW.
A thought (to be tested) - maybe it's possible to use 3,5 mm (or 2,5mm) output, split it in two, have headphones on one wire and attach a mic to the other end on ur shirt or smth.

thanks for the link to this thread... for everyone using a phone that doesnt have a 3.5mm direct output, this seems to be the solution! but i use a htc touch hd so i cant connect another cable for my 3.5mm headphones.
maybe there is a solution/hack that lets you modify the headset-profile in general to keep the phone's mic activated. or maybe there is a way to deactivate the headset-profile so someone can write a small app that deactivates the headset-profile as soon as there is an incoming or outgoing call?
Welcome. But by splitting I meant getting a 1 male - 2 female Y-cable, so what do You mean You can't connect another cable? You connect headphones on one female and the headset to the other, why shouldn't it work? I am aware that the HD has a headset that plugs into the audio port. So does my v1520, therefore I would personally be interested in the outcome as I would use the solution to link audio port to car input and use the internal mic as well
Maybe a profile manager like PhoneAlarm (Pro) or similar proggy that has editable and configurable profiles could also do the trick...
this is the wrong place for questions,
please refer to the Q&A section
thank you
Hi everyone I've searched high and low for an answer to this but the only topics I've found have related to recording phone calls...
Anyway what I want to know is is it possible to record onto the touch hd utilising either the usb socket or the 3.5m jack? I'd like to record things onto it using an external microphone because the inbuilt one distorts very quickly (I'm a percussionist, so any of the assorted things I try and record often make it start resonating and then you can't hear anything at all!)
Obviously the alternative is buy a cheap minidisc player or similar, but I just wanted to see if it was possible with the touch, as it saves me carrying an extra piece of gear around...
Cheers
Hi you could try a bluetooth hands free speaker/microphone, there ment for cars etc so maybe they do a better job than the built in mic.
this is the sort of thing I mean http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-T305-Bluetooth-Speaker-Black/dp/B000JKKE5M no idea if its any good or if there are better ones.
Ah yea that's a possibility, but I was also looking for a way to directly plug it into things, cd player etc, and I also already have quite a high quality 3.5m microphone, so it'd be a shame not to use it!
cannibalise a htc headset with mic
http://pinouts.ru/PDA/htc_extUSB_pinout.shtml
and connect something you can use to connect an mono input to the wire
Ahh good idea! So would this method just give me a mono input into the phone? And then what program would I use to record, the inbuilt one?
I've was on the market for a high quality audio recorder but they seem way more expensive than they should be (£100+) yet the only difference between price ranges is the options offered to the consumer.
I was wondering if the HD2 works with a microphone such as this http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-ECM-DS70P-Microphone-Stereo-Plugin/dp/B00005QBV2 If so, it could probably equal the high end recording devices. 200 bucks worth. See I have the above microphone and I'm trying to record in notes but despite the microphone being read and distinguished by the headphone symbol in the HD2, it's not picking up the sound.
Does anyone know if the HD2 can support external microphones? If maybe a certain program needs to be used to activate it? It could be a great solution for high quality gig recordings and dictations.
The HD2 uses a jack plug with 3 rings, which you can see on the stock headphones, and the mic is wired to the "inboard" ring your mic doesn't have. That's to keep compatibility with any standard headphones.
So yes it can take an external mic, but it needs to be wired correctly to such a plug. And can obviously only be mono.
Then, whether it can record full quality or applies a "telephone" filter to the input needs testing.
Mono would be suffice, but as there are two mics on the external device, wouldn't there be any way to allow stereo?
What kind of plug are you talking about in regards to wiring it to one?
Thanks kilrah for your very useful post.
Just look at the headphones you received with the phone, and compare the plug with the one on your mic, you'll quickly understand
No way to get stereo as the HD2 only has a mono mic input.

For the Axim X50 / X51 PDAs there was an adapter that took a 3-connector mic jack and rooted it to the correct ring on the 4-connector Axim socket. I tried to find an example with not much luck, but here is a link to start with:
(I am not allowed to post a link; sorry) go to mobilitysite and look up "seidio-audio-adapters".
Unfortunately, the seidio product does not seem to exist anymore... Anyway, would an adapter like this work on the LEO? I would think so, same concept.
Another alternative would be to use the USB port with sthg like the griffin imic but with a micro-USB adapter. Any chance for this?
Good question.
Anyone offer any enlightenment or an idea on adapters?

I have a slightly different question: if I plug standar eraphones with no mic, when receiving a cal, can i talk into the device's mic?
Yes!
