Can someone give me a link to a side where i can see how to build an adapter for the xda1? i want to use my own headset...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Connectors
here are the pinouts
if you just want to use a 3.5mm headset you can get many converters which does the job on expansys
prob in normal eletronic stores too but i would check that it works before i would pay

PPC Techs XDA/SX56 2.5mm/3.5mm Audio Headset Adaptor
This adaptor converts the proprietary 4 conductor Pocket PC phone jack found on the XDA to a STD 2.5mm headset jack and 3.5mm stereo headphone Jack, and includes a PPCPE compatible answer/mute button. The adaptor cable is approximately 5" long.

What are your thoughts. Seems like a good product. Be able to use some decent headphones for listening to those mp3z . . .
Anybody used one of these?
is the answer/mute button only for those 2 functions or is that module also acting as a microphone (don't think so)? looks good to me but i use the headset adaptor i bought from this internet site based in hong kong. check out:
http://pc-mobile.net/pxdaa.jpg (the website is http://pc-mobile.net)
it comes with a standard 2.5 mm jack for the xda. the wire is on a retractable mechanism to avoid tangling. at the other end is the stereo phone jack which serves as an answer/end button and as a microphone as well. there's a single headphone jack connected which uses a 3.5mm plug. when you want to listen to the toons using your 2-headphone set; you simply unplug the jack and insert any 3.5mm plug-based headset. in effect you can use any 3.5 headset as handsfree.
costs 26usd but services are 5-stars for me.
cheers
Anyone tried this adaptor from pc-moblie.net? The sound quality is good or bad?
i doubt that it could damage the quality so you can hear it unless you connect it to a stereo's lineIn and play it out using real speakers
those headsets are too limited imho to take much damage from a few connectors
However, all these things are not suitable for xdaII.
I bought one from pc-mobile and the quality is good. However, since the new xdaII got 2 buttons in its handsfree design, this product from pc-mobile is not fully compatible. You can hear from it but you can't pick up or end call from it as compared to xda1 you can.
I hope they can produce another product which is fully compatible with xda2. Otherwise, I may have to go for bluetooth but really worry about the battery.
Also, can I or is there anyone using the bluetooth handsfree for mp3 playing????? I doubt that very much.
I do really like the pc-mobile handsfree which is retractable and handy.
Any alternative in the market?? You got the adaptor but I think its only good for audio MP3 listening. If you attach another headsfree to the adaptor for business use (don't know whether we can...), you will have 2 buttons (one for the adaptor and one for the handsfree) which is quite funny !
Does somebody else have this problem and find a solution?
Do most people use bluetooth?
*Damn* !
Been creating a cable myself, tried it yesterdaynight late....
The damn thing didn't answer the phone when i pressed te button.
I cut the audio-out cord and trew the cable away, because i tought the mic didn't work....
Now i read this.... Guess the mic did work, but the answerbutton didn't.
Now i hope i can rewire the audio-out cabels again, so i haven't been soldering for nothing last night
Headphone adapter for HTC magic
Hello.
On the HTC magic, there isnt a 2.5 or a 3.5 headphone jack! there is only a mini USB jack. Does anyone know where i could get a mini USB jack adapter to turn it into a regular headphone jack?
Even if anybody knows what kind of mini USB jack comes on the HTC then that would be lots of help! because ive already purchased one that fit, but didnt work so it must have been a different type.
Thanks in advance!

Me again
I am looking to purchase an adapter to plug into my Qtek 2020i so that I can plug a FM transmitter into allowing me to play the MP3's to the car stereo.
I don't really fancy the idea of a 3.5mm to 2.5mm all in one unit, high change of breaking the 2.5 in the phone.
I have read around and there are adapters available that are a 2.5mm plug with a cable then the 3.5mm socket, but there seems to be problems with some of them not being connected correctly and thus, not stereo, not working etc.
I'm not bothered about bringing the microphone out, I have bluetooth and otherwise I'd be using the internal mic.
Any thoughts guidance anyone?

Hey Tom
Me too, if you find some information, please post it here.
Well what I do know is that Expansys stock such an item. However its in the £7-9 bracket, which strikes me as stupid. For that much I can go and buy an inline socket, a plug and a mile of wire and make it myself!
Infact for that much I'd look at buying a stack of inline sockets and plugs and make and sell the buggers!
Tom
I bought an inline 2.5mm-3.5mm adapter, and I had to cut away most of the plastic surround at the 2.5mm end to get it to fit. It was a bit dodgy anyway, might've broken the socket, so I got a 2.5mm right-angle jack to 3.5mm socket (along a short cable, just enough to run up the inside of my case and out the top) for a few quid. Still had to cut off the extra plastic on the 2.5mm end to make it fit though.
Not sure if this disables the internal mic, since I only use it for listening to music, and then unplug it when making/receiving a call.

Strange, I bought mine for about £2.50.
Hi,
I bought a 3.5mm FM transmitter powered by AAA batteries or Car adapter for $11 on Ebay.
Then I bought an INSTEN 3.5mm to 2.5mm stereo adapter with Mic and answer button for $7
This way while listening to music on my car stereo, if a call comes in I just press the mic button on the adapter and I can answer the call by hearing the caller on my car speakers and talking into the omni-directional mic on the adapter. My total cost = $18
It avoids the hassle of unpluging from your PDA phone...which could down the road cause problems with your PDA.
Look on ebay for these deals.
Thanks
I already have a 2.5mm -> 3.5mm stereo adapter to connect my Mogul to my car stereo.
I want a 2.5mm (M) -> Splits two ways:
a) 3.5mm (F) stereo
b) 3.5mm (F) mic
If there isn't one commercially available, I should be able to make it. Any idea what the proper pinout is? And how do we get all signals down 3 wires? (Left+Right+Mic+Gnd+control button)
Any update on finding out how to conect a external speaker and mic to the 6800? I would like to have this type of setup in my car.

You can do a direct splice of the cables coming out if you want, but that requires a little bit on knowledge and a little bit of testing. Basically, you'd take the stock headset and cut off the earbuds and mic. You'd then splice the headphone fead and the mic feed into other lines that would run to your external speaker and mic. Other than that, I don't know of any attachments that do it. You could swing by radio shack and ask them.
I am also interested in doing this. My car has an aux input to the stereo and I would like to install some kind of mic setup so I can use it as a handsfree device. Bluetooth is way too unpredictable so I plan on doing it wired.
You will need a 4-conductor 2.5mm plug along with the Y-cable that came with the phone that has usb and 2.5mm jack.
anyone looking for this setup.. i have a cable i bought off ebay that has a miniusb,which allows you to have a charger plugged in, built in microphone and answer button, and a 3.5mm headphone jack, it works great in the car for hands free (car deck has aux in) , and also works great with my cigarette lighter fm transmitter. anyone looking for this , just type in m
I think i found a solution. I just bought an adapter like this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/2in1-USB-audio-...ryZ35211QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
well i just bought an 8gb micro SD for 30 bucks and im gonna put a bunch of music on my phone and make it my new MP3 player.
does anyone suggest any mini USB to 2.55 headphone jack product?
i found... http://www.tiltdepot.com/smartphone-experts-mini-usb-stereo-adapter/12A45A2373.htm
it's 5 bucks so not a cost really but just want to make sure that it'll work before i actually do buy it since it says works with the Tilt but i presume the 11pin to 2.55 jack is universal for most of these phones especially my Vogue...
PS. i have an FM transmitter from my mp3 player but it plugs into a standard sized headphone jack on the mp3 player, does anyone think it'd be possible to get a MINI usb adapter to a standard sized headphone jack and plug that in and have it work like that?
if the transmitter wont work, does anyone know where i could find, if possible, an FM transmitter from my phone to my car stereo? (not an auxiliary plug, my radio doesnt have one)
anything is a plus, thanks guys
I picked one up somewhere (a thread over at PPC geeks had a pointer I think). It cost twice as much but it has a microphone inline and a regular size jack. I can use an FM transmitter or direct plug-in in a vehicle. When a call comes in, the music is stopped and the phone takes over. When the call is done the music starts. sweet like pie. The cord is long enough to clip the mic to my shirt and Voice Command works great with it too.

is the one. I guess the mini USB cable I use is what makes it long enough.

ty ty i'll take a long
I use the Jabra BT3030's. I think that's the model number. Not the best, but I needed something quick, and it lets me use my kick-ass Sony earbuds, while still being able to answer calls. But now I need something better, with BT v2.0.
I'm having a problems with it so if anyone has some info on the matter I'd greatly appreciate...
I bought it to for use with my "headset" consisting of in ear headphone(s) and an external microphone (Olympus ME52W) both with 3.5mm jacks. The audio cable has "mic in lines" on 3.5 and 2.5mm jacks. Can I use some of those "2 in 1" adapters to get both of my periferals to one 3.5mm jack? Will the mic work? It's the 2.2 KOhm with plug in power system 1.5-10V if that's of importance. Does the cable give it enough power?
Since my electronics knowledge is almost zero can someone explain the mic and phones part?
Maybe I should explain what I want to achieve with my weird setup. The idea is to use it with some program which modifies my voice...don't ask me why...the mic should be as discrete as possible and the in ear bud is also in that way. That's why I avoid to use "normal" headphone+mic headset which would BTW work with YC A300, yes?
And one last thing, if some soldering will be necessary to get it to work, is there a schematics of extUSB on Diamond so I can get it to someone to put together the mic and earphones on 3.5mm jack? And hope to work.
What sort of microphone is the one which comes with official wired headset?
So many questions on my mind.
Sorry for the long one, but I really need this, and my searches on the subject were not very successful.
