Hi Dianne,

I am also struggling with this issue and would like to understand the
limitations in current Android hardware.

My present understanding is that in on current Android phones there is
a GSM/3G chip that
1. receives the *analogue* GSM/3G antenna signal
2. receives modem-like AT commands from Android to initiate phone
calls, send text messages, etc.
3. routes the *analog* audio signal from the GSM/3G antenna to the
amplifier/speaker or bluetooth headset.

In such a setup, the audio signal of the phone call would exist in
digital form within the GMS/3G chip, but it would be out of reach for
the android OS. Outside the GMS/3G chip, the call signa would only
exist in analog form - while being routed to the amplifier/speaker or
to the bluetooth chip.

In this case, the only hope for software access to the audio signal
during a phone call would be a completely new design that implements
the mobile phone functionality in software.

Is that correct?

P.S.: I would like to implement a hearing aid in software, see www.amplicell.com
