i have a headset, i bought a 3.5mm aux to connect phone to aux to headset (the ones you wear to go to the gym), but when someone calls, I can't seem to talk on it. is it because i don't have a mic? is there a way i can activate the mic on the phone?

is there any way to enable build-in microphone while using 2.5mm audio jack connected to car's stereo?any registry edit?Thanks in advance!
I think that the insertion of a jack into the socket operates a hardware switch so I don't think there can be any software tweaks. It is the same as plugging headphones in to a radio etc. the insertion of the jack breaks the connection to the speakers and diverts the output to the headphones.
I got a 2.5mm 4pole male to 3.5mm 3pole female adapter with built in mic and volume control off ebay for less than £5. A cheap 3.5mm patch lead to car stereo later and it works perfectly, other than a slight alternator induced whine is audiable when charging. This is more likely to be from my cheap car charger as it goes when not charging. I like the way MP3s etc get muted when a call comes in. TomTom, Mortplayer and phone calls all at the same time, I love my Wizard.
Guess u didn’t try it. I have my wizard attached with the car stereo and when I get a call i can receive it and talk, the mic gets activated auto. Works perfect for me. Give it a try should work for u.
didn't try what?how does your mic work?
Well I use a 2.5 to 3.5 mm converter which in connected via RC wire to the car stereo linein, when I get a call I just receive it and I can talk. The music stops I can hear the person call and can talk back, the microphone works perfect.
with mine 2.5->3.5 mm jack(done it myself, the 2.5mm jack has 3 poles, not 4) can only hear but the other person doesn,t hear me
my jack has 3 poles, bougth it from ebay some time back, works perfect for me
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).
So I have a 3.5mm jack in my car that connects to the AUX function in the stereo. I used to use this for handsfree with my previous device. (The microphone being used was the phone's microphone, with the 3.5mm jack outputting callers through the car speakers)
Does anyone know how to get the HD2 to properly recognise that the plug being plugged in doesn't have a microphone? It seems to chop off any voice function because the HD2 thinks I've plugged in a headset with a builtin microphone when this one doesn't have that.. It's just a regular 3.5mm jack.
Perhaps a registry hack? Could this be a hardware limitation?
Thanks for any help!
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.
Hey guys
In winmo 6.5 I could plug a 3.5mm jack into my car stereo to listen to music, and my bluetooth car kit would take the audio from calls and relay it to my handsfree speaker and mic.
With winphone 7 I have lost that option.. having a 3.5mm jack plugs in overrides the bluetooth and so all audio is routed to the 3.5mm jack.
I dont want to be unplugging the jack every time a call comes in, or I need to make a call.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Xander
No one going to throw me a bone here?
