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!

Solution: Phone calls over Headphones, and PPC mic.

Solution is posted on page two, Thank you everyone.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
When answering phone calls with headphones plugged in sound comes through clearly. I can hear the other person just find. However, they can not hear me.
Is there a way to enable the internal microphone on the device while having headphones connected?
Thank you.

I am looking for the same solution. I hooked up my phone to my car with aux input to listen music in the car. but when I get a call I have to unplug it because the mic on phone is disabled..if anyone knows a fix for it it would be a huge favor.Thanks

Yeah same deal, Bluetooth headphones would apply aswell.

You could get an adapter that has a built in microphone. They're available and not expensive.

But that is just a workaround. The problem is still there. I don't think it is that hard to fix, but I don't know how or where to mess up with it.
Also, it would be interesting if there was an option to use Kaiser's automatic answering after 3 ring with the speakerphone.. but that's a little offtopic I think

subscribing. I would also like to know.

When a headset is plugged in the mini usb port the unit (just like any other phone) it goes into headset profile and switches mic input to the headset.
Are you using the supplied headset (mini usb) or an adapter for 3.5mm jack?
The supplied headset enables the mike (in the small bulb on the cable) for talking and most people lift this to their mouths to talk on any phone.
If anyone is having this problem with a BT headphone (not headset!) then check in BT settings that the headphones are not set for 'Use as BT headset' only for 'Wireless Stereo'.
Hope this helps.

Farsquidge, Thank you for your response.
Using an adapter that outputs 3.5mm connection that connects to normal headphones or AUX connection for stereo.
You said that the phone switches profiles. When a 3.5mm external headphone is connected the phone switches to headset mode and with this we can assume that the phone is looking for external microphone aswell.
Solution: Change the headset profile to use the internal microphone rather than looking for a external microphone.
Goal: Using 3.5mm headphones with phones internal microphone.
Thank you.

Yep, you got it. You need an 'intelligent' app that knows you have a headset connected (usb adapter) but no mike so it can keep the internal mike on!!
Nothing out there that is that clever but the guys doing Kiaser Tweak may be able to give you something that you can manually select the profile to enable the internal mike!!
Why not ask them???

Any ideas?

There must be a solution for this simple problem, dutty???

Does anyone have any ideas?

i think this is what you are looking for:
http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index.php/2006/08/18/orange_spv_m3100_headphone_adapter_hack
but what WOULD be nice is that it's a male adapter, so you don't need the 3.5mm converter.
I started to put together something like this, just have to get off my butt and perform the splicing! Otherwise, that is how it's done.
Anyone know if there's a web site selling the USB adapter to 3.5mm male adapter and not female?

Right here budy:

dude... you rock!! I have been looking for ages something like this for previous PPC's.
I know this is asking the world.. what about shorter length, make retractable w/microphone for phone operation?
anyways, i am placing my order today!
i love XDA Dev.. should have switched over from the other forums! this place doesn't sit still and the questions & answers are always there!
THANK YOU!!!
tvos

No problem. I generally dont post much. But I just couldnt let some be wondering all their life.
Theres this but its female:
http://www.seidioonline.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=866
I thought about getting it but I cant justify $30 for it. For a little more I could get BT ones.

just ordered the product today. will let you know how it works!
I am just glad someone stepped up and finally created a product that is a male adapted direct input to female. This is a rare item!
Thank You!
tvos

Thank you gentlemen. Solution: An adapter with microphone and 3.5mm output.

Just recieved the cable today!
its excellent and fits snug! - wraps around the proclip cradle and directly into the female input car radio.
Yes, if they could make this with a mic adapter, that would be cool.
But for now, this beats rigging something from radio shack - splicing a few wires together just because someone is picky with length..

Awesome Im Getting One!!!

Does this adapter exist?

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:

YC A 300 Multifunction Audio Cable

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.

Audio out via MicroUSB port?

I see the Galaxy S dock offers a single MicroUSB connection and then has microusb+audio jacks on the back, so I'm assuming the NS also has this capability. Does anyone offer a microUSB>MicroUSB+audio in jacks cable?

hell, i tried using the headphone jack to my vehicle's aux input. sound output didn't work.

That works fine in my car.
In the short term I may use some sugru to make a combination MicroUSB & 3.5mm cable.
