Practically useless radio. Even out in the open, the reception is basically like "shortwave radio". Even with the strongest of channels, I can barely enjoy anything.
Does anyone here has this issue too??

no very good reception, even inside our office.
No problem at all with FM radio - crystal clear
inside, outside, everywhere excellent stereo reception!
Is there any kind of setting that has to be done before one can get good reception? Need to find out whether its me doing something wrong or what...

Are you using headphones or trying to use the internal speaker only? I think you have to use headphones as the cord acts as an aerial.
I was using wired headphones as I know the wire acts as an antenna of sorts. In fact, my Sony headphones has a pretty long wire so why still the bad reception? Really sucks man..

the headphones are the problem
if you look in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284512
you will find a wiring schematic.
if i read this right, than the antenne is connected to the microphone connection of a headset. so just headphones will not work.
how did you connect your sony headphones?
You guys r right. Using the supplied headphones solved the reception problem. But now the negative point is that I cannot use my Sony headphones which are the in-ear bud type...
I have a converter from mini-USB to the normal 3.5 plug. That's how I connected my Sony headphones.

Apparently it still had some sort of signal, without an antenna.
find a converter with a microphone connection and you can connect a wire to that.

Hrm, possible solution for you fella. There is a wired HTC headset that was available around the time the TyTN II came out. It contained a mic and also had a 3.5mm jack for any headphones you want.
I wonder if that will work with the Diamond. It uses the extUSB connector...so it's a possibility.

Can anyone confirm whether or not you can listen to FM radio using A2DP Stereo Bluetooth? From this thread it's obvious that you need to have a wired headset plugged in, but I'm wondering if you can plug that in for the purposes of reception but still pipe the output out to the BT unit? Thanks!
I can confirm (because I'm using it) that the HTC usb-> 3,5mm standard stereo plug, model HS-U110 works perfectly with Diamond.
No problem picking radio stations with it
HastaSSSS
I had the same problem using the headset that came with my Trinity - no reception.
Changing to the supplied Diamond-headset - perfect reception!
Hi Folks,
I got a headphone adapter for my phone because I wanted to use it as an MP3 player which works extremely well... until I receive a call. At which point the microphone inside the phone seems to be disabled so the person at the other side can't hear me. I assume this is because it thinks the headphones are a proper headset (inc mic) and that the sound should be coming from there!
I looked into writing an android app to fix this, but it seems the SDK doesn't let you mix and match microphone and sound sources (unless I missed something), so I am currently looking for a headset which:
1. Has in ear buds (my work colleagues don't care much for very loud Nevermore)
2. Has a microphone built in
I have been looking for hours now but pretty much every one I can find is identical to the one which came with the phone which has pretty crap sound for music, and doesn't stay in my ears! I would go for bluetooth but I hear the sound quality from music for those is terrible and they're very expensive. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Goggle or eBay "HTC HS U110". I got one from eBay for 9 bucks plus shipping and they work just fine. I'm using Shure SE210 with the cord that has the microphone so I can't comment on the stock earbud quality.
Are there any places that sell just a simple mini-usb adapter <-> 3.5mm with a built-in microphone for cheaper than the ~$13 for the full HTC HS U110 kit from ebay?
I know that you can find these adapters for the iphone for a couple of bucks apiece (for the defective headphone jack). I'd like to be able to buy a bunch for my MT3G and leave them lying around wherever I might need one.

Try browsing around amazon.com
I bought the oem htc 3-in-1 adapter for $3 from one of the retailers on amazon. I don't think that one has a mic built in, but has a 3.5mm and 2.5mm jacks that i believe support headphones/sets with built in mics. You might be able find the basic miniusb->3.5mm jack and mic hole (like the one that comes with the mt3g) as well..

The HTC 3-in-one adapter was halfway broken with cupcake, and almost completely useless with donut, unfortunately. There was the toggleheadset.apk utility as a workaround, but it no longer works. I'll probably just buy a bunch of the 3.5mm adapters with no microphone from ebay; they're available for <$2 each including shipping.
I can confirm that the 3.5mm jack on the 3in1 adapter will not work on the MT3G. Although the mini usb works if you use the HTC headphones. I also tried the HTC two way thing and it didn't work either. fyi the htc headphones that came with the Tmobile Dash have a high quality sound, better than the ones that came with the MT3G and my 09 shadow, those are just crap.
I use the 3in1 adapter in my car every day to charge and listen to music on my car stereo via the 3.5mm jack, and I have a MT3G. Maybe its something in cyanogen's rom.. I think I remember reading something about that somewhere?
It would be nice to find adapters with the mic built in, I have the one that came with the phone that I use with some sony in-ears I bought, but it would be nice to have extras.
anyon tried the Seido adapter?
Just to follow up on this thread, has anyone tried the Seido adapter that also has a microphone? See this link http://www.androidians.com/seidio-mini-usb-to-35mm-adapter/11A75A2812.htm
Thanks
Adaptor+mic
Perhaps you could give this a try: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.29856
I've been dealing with the same problem and just ordered one of these too.
The only thing that I'm worried about is that the cord might be a bit long, but i can always shorten that if it's annoying.
headphone adaptor
How do you like the product? Am thinking about getting one.
Skip the adaptor stuff
and go Bluetooth. I bought this a couple of weeks back
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bluetooth-S...3?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1264584185&sr=8-3
pretty decent sound quality, controls for skip forward, back, vol +, vol- and play/pause. has a built in mic for calls (pauses music when your phone rings, answer and hang up with the play/pause button) and about 2 seconds to pair it up.
won't work with hero roms obviously, but cheap as chips and I'm sure they do it in the US too.
I'm just looking for a good pair of in-ear buds for the Magic that has controls for pause/play/skip like the stock headsets. Any suggestions?
I bought one off ebay from bestcellbuy: http://myworld.ebay.ca/bestcellbuy/
HTC Touch Pro Multifunction Adapter Audio Cable YC A300
Cost me $5 shipped
Now I don't have first hand experience with it. But my cousin is using it on a Sense UI 32A Magic and he says it works out of the box. Not sure if he is using the toggle app
Charges too.
I have also tried the DX one and the build quality of that was so bad that it never played music through both buds at the same time.
Not sure what you can get for skip and play functions unfortunately.
I got one of the 3 in 1 adapters from eBay for around $4-5 and the 3.5mm headphone jack works out of the box with my 32A (running CM atm)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330350652982&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
here ya go mate. this works like a charm. it has 2.5mm headset jack, 3.5mm, usb headset, and a secondary usb port for charging WHILE blasting music. plus its HTC branded and cheap as hell. took about 3 days to ship from Connecticut to Texas.
Anyone know of someway to use Bluetooth in any car stereo by the use of adding a Bluetooth receiver or something to the auxilliary port? I've messed my up my port on my phone before and I don't wanna do it again with my refurb . I listen to a lot of music...
You could plug an FM transmitter into the headphone socket and tune the car radio to it if that's any help, those things are very cheap these days and you can get them integrated into car chargers..

If you're willing to replace your head unit, search these forums for mention of the JVC KD-X50BT. Its a nice Bluetooth receiving head unit that apparently has some pretty decent sound. Reasonably priced, too! I plan on picking one up soon to use with my nexus.

The belkin, if its the cheap one we're both talking about, apparently has awful sound quality. Maybe the second of the two is better.

I remember looking on ebay and seeing what looked like a bluetooth box thing that connected through the aux port.
ie this: http://www.ebay.ca/itm/iKross-Bluet...ltDomain_0&hash=item51a218fae1#ht_2983wt_1032
For a simpler idea, cant one just use a male to male cable to connect it?
i just bought this and recieved it today..
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00727FE5U/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00
its great, no loss in sound quality, easy charging and easy pairing, small with short cord, comes with an adapter so you can also connect it to stereos/tvs/etc.., also has good BT range.

Oh thanks this is exactly what I was looking for! Can you easily switch the chord out with a longer one?
Do an ebay search for "bluetooth receiver", you'll find all kinds of devices. As for how well they work, well, let us know. :laugh:
You can try the flexsmart x2. It has a line out and line in jack. It is charger and Bluetooth as well. If you plug the line out to the head auxiliary jack then hook the device up through Bluetooth, you won't have to keep unplugging and plugging in. It could potentially work through Bluetooth.
I would try it, bit my car radio doesn't have an auxiliary jack though. Ill see If I can figure out a way to test it and report back.

They have a bluetooth 2.0 a2dp on deal extreme, it gives pretty decent sound and is only 13$, only downside is you have to wait for like a month for it to get here. I can post links yet as I havent hit 10 posts lol, but the sku is 8422 and its on Deal Xtreme. Happy hunting
I use this one in my truck.It did not come with bluetooth and I plug this in my aux to listen to music from the n7 or phone.It works well and pairs very easy.Battery last around 12 hours during use and charges in about 2.

Im using the HTC Stereo Clip. Awesome device. A little pricey but I think worth it because it does sound like it's directly plugged into the device.

I use the Stereo Clip as well. I've found that battery life on it sucks, so to remedy that I have it constantly plugged into a car charger. This works for me because both my AUX port and a charging port are inside my center console, so they are both hidden from view. Otherwise, you have to recharge it every 2 days or so.

How long do you have it connected? What's your bt device play time? I guess I don't use the clip enough in a shot to really compare. But I have been happy with it and I too, have it constantly plugged into my car charger.
I like some of these that I see here. The GoGroove has pretty decent reviews but can it charge while I use it in my car? Anything that I won't have to take out of my car to charge and has pretty decent audio quality will do. Also if it sleeps on its own when a Bluetooth device isn't connected to it. Really just needs to not be so much of a hassle to use and be reliable.
When I plug my headphones into the headphone jack, my phone goes berzerk. A track will be playing and then randomly switches, forwards to next track, etc and my dialer will pop up and start dialing random numbers (or maybe the last number I dialed) without me even touching the screen. If my phone is locked, the emergency dialer will pop up. It's like it has a mind of its own.
Anyone have any idea of what's going on? Maybe it's shorted somewhere?
Download headset blocker from the Play Store. That should fix your problem.

I'm using the HTC headphones that come packaged with the phone. In fact, I've been going through replacement phones (because of the build quality) and my first phone didn't have this issue with the same exact headphones. I decided to switch out the htc headphones from a different box and my phone still goes crazy. I want to say it's a defective headphone jack just because of that.

My HTC One doesn't register that a my solo hd's have been plugged in with the L shape jack, if I use the opposite side of the wire it works but is extremely distorted. Any ideas?
The headphones and the wire work fine on a tablet and 3 other phones I have tried it on.
There's no visible switch in the connector (for headphone detection) which means that headphones are probably detected based on their impedance...
Solo HD's have impedance 45Ohms which is a little high but nothing dramatic, so my guess would be a lose contact - try your HDs on another HTC One and/or different connection cable...
I had this happen to me but with any pair of headphones I plugged in. Sound would still come from the speakers. How I fixed it was to toggle beats off then back on and then plug in the headset. I don't know if your issue is the same but that's what did it for me

And that didn't work but thanks for the suggestion. The weird thing is that using a standard 3.5mm jack wire which I bought cheap on eBay works fine with the headphones but the monster one doesn't?
And other headphones work fine? The big one is if it's the phone or the headphones...
Yup I've tried five other pairs of earphones and they all work fine.
I've tried a pair on ibeats, generic Philips ones, the stock HTC one earphones, stock iPhone earphones and also some seinnheisers. All work flawlessly.
