Using standard 2.5mm headphones

Hello, would like to use my Blue Angel with my sony headphones.
I have heard of a "bic pen" trick to get music to play thru both audio channels, but not sure how to do it. Please advise.

Buy a PDA Bits converter from Expansys - much better and only about 10 UKP. They do one for headphones only and one with a PTT button, mic and headphone socket.

i already have a converter.But, if you insert it alll the way, there is only audio thru 1 side.I heard some people modified the adapter so it dosent go in all the way, but cant remember how

You have "a" converter, but not "the" converter
It's not a simple stereo jack
Hence the problems.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=16166&highlight=
There is a post in this forum describing the bic pen method. let me know if it works for you. I'm waiting for my converter to come

okay so i gather i need a special adapter. not a standard 3.5 to 2.5mm converter
Im located in London-where can i get 'the' adapter?
Help is much appreciated.
posted this from my blue angel.this phone is just too cool

The XDA IIs uses a 2.5mm 4 pin (Technically a 1 tip and 3 ring) connector whereas most 2.5 to 3.5 mm converters only have 3 pins. Also the pinout of the XDA IIs does not follow any particular standard in that the pin assignment is not the same as say Nokia's, Siemens or even the XDA II!
You could try various methods but they will usually cause some sort of problem such as activating the PTT, mono audio, no audio etc depending on where your three pins hit the four pins inside the XDA IIs. I found the only real solution is to use something like this -> PPC Techs Adaptor.
Happy hunting

so i need to look for a 2.5 mm 4 pin jack.
THe ppc techs one costs 7 quid....i can get the same thing for 50pence , yes PENCE in malaysia-from the local hardware store.Unfortunately im not returning there until summer, so does anyone know of any hardware stores in london that sell such items? I think it'd be much cheaper to source it from there rather than a PDA site.

What do you say?

My dad have Touch HD.
I play to buy a mobile phone too, and i don't know which one to choose. what do you say?
NOKIA 5800 - symbian
Htc diamond - WM
Samsung I900 omnia - WM
IPHONE 3G
Thanks

symbian os is crap i wouldnt waste my time with it
the omnia is a big brick and still manages to have a lower screen resolution than the diamond and the iphone is gr8 if ur under 18 and all u wanna do is listen to music n play games anything else and ur screwed :lol so id suggest the diamond or if you have a bit more money to spend try the xperia

Hey, why symbian is a crap?
I had p900 sony ericsson before a long time
Why the omnia is a big trick?
About the iphone, i will have 18 in like 20 days lol.
I will mostly use the cellular i will buy as a regular phone, wifi for skype calls (via fring), and gps (IGO).
I can get second hand diamond for 300$
If i had alot of money i would buy the HD; from what i know he's the best, more then the new Omnia hd of samsung, and more then diamond 2

Bump!
mancsoulja ?

Seriously I have owned and used both Symbian and WinMo in the last 6 months. Lets just say Im never going back to symbian.
And get the HTC diamond.
Better screen
GREAT XDA support!
TouchFLO which is amazing.

Yeah, i think to go diamond because of few things:
Better pixels resoulation from what iv'e heared
Stylus
TouchFLO (my dad got HD)
Omnia over diamond: alot of memory vs 4GB.
More here
Iv'e saw right now a video in youtube that say diamond have not regular miniusb, a miniusb of HTC.
Why does i care? because i want to connect a convertor of 3.5mm jack headphone so i will be able to connect my regular earphones.
*I want to know how much time i will be able to make a skype call (fring-wifi) on the diamond.
*As for playing music, diamond cant replace the COWON D2 i plan to buy.

The diamond isnt the greatest at media. But then the 5800 doesnt have dedicated media keys either (as I am aware).
But seriously you wont regret getting the diamond at all. You can get a 3.5mm jack you just have to get the right one. It should even set you back £5/6.

Where can i find it for 5/6 with shipping to Israel?
The miniusb isn't normal miniusb? is it miniusb of htc?
If no, i guess i can buy any convertor from miniusb to 3.5mm
I don't like the omnia so i'm not gonna buy it.
It's or that im i will go the diamond, or that i will save some money and buy diamond2/HD (also hard decision)

Anyone can answer the question on the convertor?
If it's not normal miniusb, i can't buy any miniusb convertor to 3.5mm
If it's normal, i will have 2 options:
1. Buy the htc diamond + COWON D2.
2. Buy the HD/DIAMOND2 and use their music player.

The Diamond has a special mini-usb port. It can be used as a normal mini-usb port with a normal usb cable. But it can be used also with a special mini-usb to 3.5mm audio port.
Is it allowed to post a link to a shop that ships to Israel?

Hey.
So why they write it's miniusb? its special miniusb.
"It can be used as a normal mini-usb port with a normal usb cable" - so what's the special connection here?
According to you, i must get a special mini-usb to 3.5mm audio port?
I would be glad to get a link to a cheap converter...
If i add more 250$ i can get the HD. I don't know if to buy the diamond. the HD, or the diamond2.

Sorry for the late reaction.
This cable you need. It's a mini-usb to 3.5mm headphones jack. With this cable you can use you're own headphones with all HTC devices.

Recommendation for Headphones?

My headphone adapter for my MT3G recently stopped working, so I'm going to buy a new one soon, but I figured I might as well get a new set of headphones as well.
Would you guys know of any good quality headphones?
I'm interested in in-ear bud headphones with a built in mic.
Also, would you guys know where I can buy the MT3G 3.5mm adapter?
I found one on Amazon, but it's requiring me to buy the headphones with it.
Also a white pair of headphones and adapter is what I'm looking for, since I want it to match my MT3G color.
I know this is in the wrong forum, but I figured that whatever worked with the G1 should work with the MT3G, correct me if I'm wrong though.
Thanks in advance.

I'm using this original adapter with the Ai-M6 headphone.

You should check out the link below from head-fi. Those guys over there are pure audiophiles so they'll know whats the best. Thanks to them I found the perfect headphones for me.

Thanks for the quick post, the headphone you got looks very promising, but it seems like it doesn't have a microphone built in. I'll wait for some more posts and see, but thanks again I'll be sure to keep those headphones in mind.

[Q] 3.5mm jack adpter, iphone female to SGS male?

Hi all! I had an iphone for 6 months now and i have some great headphones with mic (zagg smartbuds). Now I'm a SGS owner. The problem, as we all know, is the 3.5 jack different connections. So I'm trying to find a 3.5mm, 4 conduct, iphone female to SGS male afaptor.
My first find is that http://www.kvconnection.com/product-p/km-354r3m-r2f.htm works but costs way too much.
Many great headphones out there are iphone compatible (so no SGS) and i think we need a solution for that. If anyone here is an android developer...maybe he can create a software solution too.

Unfortunately most apple products use non standard wiring for the headphones, so you are more likely to find normal-to-iphone adapters and not the other way around

I think even that will work because iphone jack output is TRRS and samsungs TRSR
So the cable you are talking about is a
(female universal) TRSR<--->TRRS (male iphone)
Only the last 2 conducts change. So if you put an iphone compatible headset in the female input you will get a normal output.
Do you know where can I find adapters like the ones you mention?

Or hack it?
Has anyone tried instead of buying an adapter, stripping the cables and switching the ground and the mic on an "iPhone-type" headphones?
Would be great to learn your experiences on this, I have a great pair of Bose headphones that I love, and would really enjoy using this on the Galaxy S....

can anyone confirm if the smartbuds are working with this adapter ?

that says its FOR the iphone, not for iphone earphones in other devices so that may not work.
this one does work for sure as ive bought it.
http://www.meelec.com/MEE_TRRS_Adapter_for_P_Version_Headphones_p/adptr-trrs-35.htm

Good find, indeed that one says specifically that it swaps the connections: "Adapter Pinout: T-T, R1-R1, R2-S, S-R2"
$10 isn't great but isn't too bad, the one I saw months was something like $20-30.

can anyone confirm if the smartbuds are working with this adapter ?

[Q] Stock headset

Okay, so i was out the other day and relised i had lost my original headphones while i was out. I use headphones daily and couldn't live without them.
Question is does anyone stock the original Samsung Headset with the PTT(push to talk) button on it? or maybe another manufacturer that works with the Ace.
Preferably I'm looking for standard rather than the in-ear pair.
Thanks in advance!

I've tested it with an original headset from LG (LG optimus one). And worked!
Maybe you should try buy a new one and test it before you actually buy it.

the pinout of samsung's stock headset is universal, you may use it on iPod, HP 4-pole audio+mic jack and in others, but not on nokia. nokia headsets follow a different pinout pattern, swapping ground to mic+shield. well, I did successfully converted a nokia headset to a universal one.
wait, I was lost there, but still, samsung's 3.5mm jack is universal. only nokia is an exception. hehehe. you may use any headset except for old iPod headsets and nokia headsets. iPod 4, iPhone 4 and newest ipods have the universal jack pinout configuration that shares with almost all of handsets.

Thanks for the replies guys. Done a bit of digging around and found a user on eBay selling original headsets for £3

I tried my old Sony Ericsson headset and the sound was so distorted. It was like the speakers were rattleing although the sound was so quiet...
anyways, as mentioned before, i've found a set on ebay and a reasonably good price of £2.20
Not sure if i'm allowed to link to ebay pages but here goes...
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/280795430244?_trksid=p5197.c0.m619

If I had a pound for every time i saw something sold as genuine on Ebay

We'll see what happens when they come, if they function properly ect... then at the end of the day i'm not fussed

Just got the set through this morning... Seems like stock, build quality is as good as my original, sounds is ok. and the button functions. So £2.20 well spent...
Thanks for your help guys
