Does a normal headphones disable the internal mic? - Touch HD General

I just want to know, if you plug in a normal headphones (normal one, without mic, only stereo speakers) to the HD 3.5mm audio jack, does the internal mic in the HD still work?
Can you still answer phone calls without unplugging the headphones?
Does the headphones disable the internal mic?
The reason I ask is because I would like to know if I hook up the HD to the car aux input, will it work without adding an extra external microphone.
Thanks guys for helping answering this questions.

No, the mic works. The phone also rings when the headphones are plugged into it.

That's right. The microphone still work. I've been using wired headset to make calls. If it does't work, it would'nt have been possible to make such phone calls.

Thats nice to hear. But from how far away the microphone catches sounds?. If i use my stereo headphones, will the microphone be boosted, like in the speaker mode, when it can catch the voice even from the table, couple feet away?

It works Great in my car, i put it on myside [beside the GEAR]. but car speakers volume should not be very loud.

Speakerphone when 3.5mm jacked in?

Is there any way to get the speaker phone active when 3.5mm audio jack is connected? I use an FMtransmitter connected to the 3.5mm to get the sound out in my car speakers, works fine with music and tomtom sound... but when i get a phone call i would like to answer with speaker phone preferable with the sound still from my car speakers, but with the phone mic activated.
It seams like the phone mic is deactivated when 3.5mm is connected.

I don't know the answer to that specific question, but...
I have a very similar set up to you (though the 3.5mm jack runs directly to my car stereo), using PocketMusic and TomTom.
The in-built mic is active in this case - If I get an incoming call, or make an outgoing call, the audio out is routed through my car stereo (i.e. I hear the other person over the car speakers). The mic still picks up my voice and I can have a conversion. I'm using a regular 3.5mm->double RCA lead (i.e. there is no mic present on the audio jack).

Handsfree calls using headphone jack + internal microphone

One of the features I miss of my Hero that my Nokia N95-8GB had was the ability to plug in a standard pair of headphones (or 3.5mm audio out cable) and use the built in microphone to make hands free calls.
I use the phone a lot in my car whilst driving to and from work to listen to music and would love for it to recognise the standard cable (which it does - indicated by a pair of headphones rather than the headphones/mic icon used to indicate the presence of the hands-free headphones) and be able to automatically answer inbound calls using the internal microphone.
Is there an app for this kind of thing - I'm guessing it is something that is/can be controlled by software?
have you tried it actually? because i use my ipod headphones quite often and it works as expected, sound from headphones and i hold phone closely to my mouth as its using internal mic.
Really not sure what you are looking for. If you plug the standard HTC headphones in using the jack on the top then you can use of the built in mike they have to answer calls.
Or have I missed something?
I've also done exactly what you're asking with my car. I've had my phone in a car holder w/ an audio cable from the Hero's headphone jack to my car's line in jack. I was able to answer calls just fine, and the person on the other end could hear me. (And it was just a standard stereo audio cable, my car doesn't have any sort of built in mic)

im doing the same thing but people on the other end are complaining about an echo of thir voice. I figure its coming from thier voice being picked up by the internal mic. Anybody have any ideas? how can i cut the internal mic while theyare talking. would a cheap wired headset work using its external mic? i could cut the headphones off and splice it into the line in.
I have had my G2 since late September and quickly found out by accident that it does use the internal mic when a headphone is plugged in.
Mine is a simple adaptor from the 3.5 mm into the RCA in my car. If I have the volume up too high, it echoes. If I have the volume down low, I can have a perfect handsfree conversation.
With the headphones I have had problems. In the car, I have the phone laying down and the mic side up. If I am holding the phone in my hand, I have no problems. Shirt pocket, ok. Pants pocket, no way.

hands free device

has anyone tried using your d.i. through the car speakers while talking?
On my SYNC equipped Ford it works fine once I downloaded the phonebook to the car...
I didn't bother and just use the built in speaker which is loud enough. I'll have to link it in to the stereo to see.
Okay so , Right now with my mt3g, I can hook it up to my car stereo via the mini-usb to 3.5mm adapter that it came with(it has a microphone on it),and I can make calls and hear people through my speakers. With the Inc. am I going to need another kind of adapter or will the speaker on the phone itself be good?
I found this out accdentally, but using a regular stereo cable from my DI to the car's aux input, I was able to hear calls through the speaker, and they could hear me via the phone's built in Mic. I was surprised the first time I heard it ring, but it worked very nice, no issues that they couldn't hear me and the sound quality was top notch. I really like how it will mute whatever else is playing in the meantime, like Slacker / Pandora, and continue once the call is over.
Hope this helps.

[Q] an issue with the speakphone microphone while connecting headphones on omnia 2

Hi friends,
I would realy like some help for an issue that i have with my omnia 2..
ok, so basically i was making a setup in my car so i could listen to music
by connecting a 3.5 male to male cable (which i've made myself so it would be as short as i need it to be) to the AUX input in my car stereo system.
The music sounds sweet.
I also liked the fact that i could hear the person i was talking to on my car's stereo system, and obviously the music stops when you get a call so it's very nice..
now I know that the omnia 2 has 2 microphones (which is amazing!)
one for a regular conversation, and another one which is way more sensitive
for the use while you're using it as a speakerphone.
The problem is:
when i connect the 3.5 plug in the phone it lets me select:
1. Headphones
2. Headset
3. TV-out
when i select either of 1 or 2, the phone uses the regular mic and not the speaker mic.
i can hear the sound of my speakers in the car
(or maybe i will even hear it the same with headphones)
but i can't have the other side hear me as well as he will with the speaker phone.
I know it uses the regular mic because when i disconnect the 3.5 plug from the phone and put it on speaker, the other side hears me much much better.
(phone and me stay at the same place at the entire test)
my question is:
is there anyway to change (perhaps in the registry?) something
for the phone to use the speaker mic while anything is connected to it's 3.5 jack?
any help will be much much much appreciated.
Thanks a lot!
Roy.
Are you sure the mic doesn't work when you select "headphones"? When I use it like you do in the car, it works perfectly. In fact, I was pleasantly surprised it did, as opposed to Omnia I.
"Headset" means the original headphones with the mic on the cord, while "headphones" means regular headphones, and then it automatically uses the built-in mic.
If it doesn't work like this, take it to the service if you're still within the warranty.

External microphone

I'm getting ready to mount my N7 in the dash of my 97 4Runner where the double din goes. This will block the internal microphone(s).
I will have the 3.5mm jack hooked up to an amplifier for sound.
Is there a bluetooth microphone available to use for voice input and the likes? Id like to somehow sync my phone to the tablet and make phone calls using this mic as well.
I know I could use a bluetooth headset, but I want the audio to go through the 3.5mm jack to my car speakers. Is it possible to make use of just the mic on a BT headset and disable the audio portion?
Anyone?

Maybe you could use a headphone splitter and use a mic like this http://www.amazon.com/External-Bluetooth-Microphone-W01171805-W01176815/dp/B006IL7BCA

There is no mic input on the n7
