Wireless microphone

Like most of us probably know, Ateksoft released that Coolcamera program a while ago, which makes it possible to use your very own ppc/pda/mda/whatever as a webcam for your computer. It might not work great and the bluetooth connection isn't really good for the image quality either, but it does deliver 2-5 frames per second which is more than msn can even send through.
If it is possible to push streaming video through the Activesync profile, then an audio profile should be possible, no? As in, the ppc recording audio, encoding it into mp3 and then streaming it to the pc. I've never seen it for real before, I'm just asking if any of you has ever seen it before/considered it before.
I can't code to save my life, so that option is cancelled out.

Record a phone call

I've tried VITO Audio Notes and Resco Audio Recorder and neither of these seem to record the other half a phone call. I'd like to be prepared and have something which can record a call if need be, but nothing seems to work. I've read that this can be down to hardware. Has anyone managed to get anything like this working on the Xperia X1?
Thanks

this thread make me remember, I swear there was an in built call record function back there when this phone was previewed, where is it now?

it waz the providers callable mailbox. LOL
dialed by shortcut
i wish this feature, too. long time ago,.... but no htc device can record a live phone call.
but i hope, that a bluetooth wrapper will come in future. (to redirect audio streams. if the bluetooth driver can capture and send audio streams over air, a fake driver could handle like the bt driver. but without bt-hardware-chip is activated, to save power consumption. the recording app commincates with the wrapper/fake driver as BT-protokoll (fake headset device))

try to use the buildin notes application to record, it may help

[Q] Bluetooth Headset & Playing Video

Heyho,
I noticed a really annoying problem the other day when I was watching an episode of The Mentalist on the bus.
First of all a list of what I used when the problem occured
- X1i flashed with Itje's Touch-IT Xperience 3.01.
- Sony Ericsson HBH-IS800 Bluetooth headset
- A 230mb 45-minute 800x480 h.264 video file, packed in an mp4 at 500kb/s.
The problem that occured is that when my bluetooth headset was connected (and playing the audio), the video would lag like hell, e.g. 1 fps or less.
When I disconnected the bluetooth headset and used my wired 3.5mm jack headset, there was not a problem at all!
How do I fix this!?

the same thing happens when i use my hbh-ds980 for watching videos..
what i did to resolve this issue was to use the Super video convertor by eRightSoft (freeware) and convert my videos to MP4 with the "Hi Quality" and "Top Quality" boxes checked in the Video options. so even if i convert videos at 23 fps at 800x480 resolution, video and audio play smoothly through A2DP.

Happens to me too, I use the Motorola SoundPilot S705 and with bluetooth headsets the video lags, while with wired headset quite smooth.
I watch Divx video encoded for PC playback with coreplayer...
update:
Does this has anything to do with the issue? the bluetooth audio bitpool:

i will try tonight when i get home.

I will test those advanced config settings and see what it does.

Sounds fine now, but doesn't fix my problem. Who can tell me more?

What is "Fine" now? better sound? did you reduce o increase the bitpool?

I increased the bitpool and I feel the sound is better, less crackly. Still, it's not the answer to my prying question.

Hallo,
I have the same problem after download norti roms nX1i v1.03 and 1.03 Did you solve it?

Nope, haven't found a fix yet. It's still too slow. Nobody had an answer..

did you ever figure this out?
i just bought a bluetooth headset (jabra bt3030) and i thought id give it a try with my x1a running the orignal rom, software version r1aa021 / customization version R2A.
As for my experience, i dont have any video lag using dvd movies converted at 640x320 768kbps/64 kbps audio and other videos converted at 480 x 320 500kbps/64 kpbs audio. movies were converted using super and also nero recode 2 and played using the media player and also the panel media player.
the only problem i have encountered once in while when starting a movie is the audio would be out of sync. the remedy that i found out for this is to pause the video and then push play again, then everything audio and video is synched up. i think it has more to do with the bluetooth, phone or headset, i dont know which but i figure this because when i start my movie, the movie starts before my bluetooth headset would like click on and start to play the audio.
i see you are using a customized rom, do you think that could be part of the problem? too high of a resolution? i didnt notice much of resolution difference between video converted at 800 x 400 and 640 x 320, 480 x ??? at the same kpbs. then again im not a big hd buff and my eyes arent as sharp as others. the smaller resolution played just as well in full screen mode. i think nero recode 2 does a pretty good job at converting videos, a lot quicker than using super and i got nero free with the cheap dvd writer i bought.
hope you got it figured out but if not, hope this helps others.

im using Nokia BH-503 stereoheadset im not having problems regarding to bluetooth and lags.
im using windows media player and of course i convert the video files to smaller resolution like 480x260.
also tried playing 800x600 but acceptable lags like every 15mins lags for lessthan 1 secs with bluetooth headset.
also try to end background task in your phone like antivirus, skype, etc... it might affect the performance of your phone.

U can use Core Player and there is an option to adjust the time synchronization between video and audio.

I've had these problems whilst playing x264 encoded files. I think that they just suck too much CPU power. It's not that the video and audio desynced or anything. It just had a really low fps! (like 3~4)

Fring video calling between HTC EVO 4G and Nexus One (youtube videos)

I uploaded two videos of the Fring's video test calls between HTC EVO 4G and Nexus One (both phones connected to 3G). I was really impressed with the video quality (not so much the picture quality, but the very small delay in transmitting the video). On the other hand, Fring's audio is not so good imhoa nd needs to improve.
EVO's front facing camera and kick stand make the video calling extremely easy and convinient.

i wonder how audio would be if both users used something like the iphone headset mics

I had a quick test of the Fring’s audio by making audio-only call between Skype on the laptop (built-in mic and speakers) with Android Fring app running on Nexus One (no headset). The delay was noticeable and a bit irritating and the sound was quite distorted. Headsets would help a bit for sure and I will do few audio tests with headsets on both sides. But from the way the sound was coming through, the audio appeared to be over-compressed (as compared to an excellent audio quality of Skype’s PC-to-PC audio calls).

why does the announcer look like an oompa loompa? is it just distortion from the camera looking at a monitor or TV?

Some distortion, but not that kind of a distortion .
Feel free to suggest any other funny videos to test video calling on.

I did few more tests of the fring audio with and without video. Audio quality didn't seem to depend on whether video was on. Headsets on both sides helped as expected. I guess I would call the audio quality acceptable/average. Still way more distorted than PC skype-to-PC skype, but I guess we need to cut some slack to mobile voip calling, since it's going over 3G. It's for sure usable both for audio and video calling. The added bonus is that fring easily accesess skype's contact list.
Two tests were:
1) Nexus One (headset) connected to EVO 4G (headphones)
2) Nexus One (headset) connected to Thinkpad laptop (headphones)
Phones connected over 3G.
The first test actually had a better sound quality (since EVO 4G probably has a better mic than thinkpad).

Did more extensive testing of fring’s video/audio calling and my impressions remained roughly the same: very reliable video transmission, but audio needs improvement. Did a number of calls from Android Fring over 3G to skype running on PC (DSL). Headsets on both sides, cameras on both sides.
- Skype contacts integration is really good.
- Didn’t have any problems with the video.
- Audio is quite distorted (as compared to skype or regular cellphone).
- Occasionally some horrible loud noises interrupt the audio (once every 5-10 mins).
- Audio delay is about 2-3 seconds.
- With the video off, audio quality doesn’t improve.

LG V20 Video with HD Audio - can't open in video editor

Hi, I'm sorry to bother as I've searched the V20 forum and I'm not finding related info on this problem.
With LG V20 video recorded with HD audio setting on, when I open/import it into Magix (once Sony) Vegas 15 opens with low volume, highly distorted audio. It shows the video but the audio is garbled/distorted, low volume, audio. If I bring in a video file without HD audio turned on I'm able to open it and video and audio playback is fine.
Note: All video are .MP4 files and playback fine on the LG V20 itself (At&t H910) as well as on the desktop with WMP and VLC Player, with HD audio selected or not. I just can't get it to open without issue (audio) in Magix Vegas Pro.
I'm thinking (hoping) it might just be a codec issue and this can somehow be resolved, but even after installing K-lite (mega) I'm having no luck. It only happens with video .MP4 video files with a setting of "HD audio ON". Is there a known V20 issue here in regard?
Can anyone shed some light on how to resolve this?
Desktop OS: Windows 7 Pro x64 SP1
Phone: LG V20 AT&T H910 (Stock, has latest OTA updates)

Not real familiar with Vegas. But you may be right, it sounds very much like a codec issue. So lets try and narrow things down a little. Find out what the audio sample rate, channels and bitrate are on the non-HD files, then do the very same with the "HD" filles. What does Vegas say they are?
I never tried the HD audio before. Because it just sounded like a gimmick. Their "HD" just may be referring towards some higher bitrates.....or.... Because most audio these days are already what you'd call "Hi-Fi". So it's possible these files are in a much higher sample rate. I can't find that info out because nothing on the phone seems to want to give the AUDIO details of a video. ? It's frustrating.
