3.5mm Headphone Jack

Hey anyone know of a 3.5mm headphone jack - Ext-USB that works with this phone? I've been searching everywhere, but haven't found anything that works.

i got one with the phone well it was a 2.5 i think and i got an adapter from Radioshack... it's very ugly and dangles i really wish phone companies would just put 3.5 mm jacks right into the phone -
you can also google mini-usb to 3.5 and can find some.

yeah. i'm using the one that came with the phone but it's so bulky. I was just wondering if anyone found something better.

I am currently using this one:

I've had a for about 2-3 months and it works great

T-Mobile Store
If you got to your local T-mobile store you can get an HTC branded 11-pin mini usb to 3.5 mm headphone jack for around ten dollars. I've been using it for a couple months and it works great since it was made to work with the Android HTC Dream. It's a little more pricier than you can find it online, but it's definitely reliable, the connection is sturdy, and it's not terribly overpriced.

i dont recomment the one above because i bought it and when it tangles over time the black rubber part breaks.. try

Which rubber part breaks off? (So I can be careful and elongate the time my cord exists)
I gotta admit, if I wasn't paranoid about buying stuff over the net, I would buy that. It's exactly what I was looking for originally, something sturdy (mainly the one piece connection that is likely to break) and simple.

perfect i saw this on ebay a while ago, but didn't know if it would work with the vogue. thanks so much!

Im just using the adapter for my Dream. Works great, has a built in microphone and hang up button that the ones online DONT have. Connection is fair, sometimes you gotta tighten it a bit.

This is the one that I'm using:
http://www.oriongadgets.com/product_info.php?products_id=2087
It looks like it's bigger but I like it because it's got more cable, which to a degree makes it more flexible in where I can put it. The little block includes a mic, and also has the connector for charging and 3.5mm output. So I can charge and listen to music, or charge and talk using standard headphones/earphones with the built in mic.

my 1 cent about N7 built quality

i kinda dissappointed with the scratch resistance of nexus 7. i use moko case since i bought the nexus but now i find a soft scratch on my screen. I use it moderately, i keep it in my bag inside the case, i never knock the screen with any hard object, so the only thing i could think off that can scratch my screen is when i wipe the screen using my clothes and the dust scratch it. What makes me disappointed is, N7 is advertised using gorilla glass (or at least protection from corning if i'm mistaken), is it really that easily to scratch? My nexus S screen has no scratch whatsoever except a crack on where i dropped it which is acceptable because it's my mistake, but i use my N7 carefully and i still manage to scratch it. Did anyone have the same issue?
My next issue is a little dent on the side of the N7. Like i said earlier, i used it moderately (not too careful but not careless). I did place my N7 inside a bag with other stuffs (my phone, wallet, maybe some coin in there), i keep it inside the moko case, it did expose the side of the N7 (which makes me think to buy another case), but even my naked nexus s made from plastic did not have any dent other than when falling from my hand.
My next issue is my N7 is not charging properly, might be from the power outlet or from the N7 itself. I was travelling to Los Angeles, Las Vegas, San Fransisco and i notice that my N7 is not charging when i plug it to the power outlet using the original N7 charger. I need to turn off my N7, unplug the microUSB cable from my N7, and then re-plug it in order to be able to charge it. And when i turn it on again, it stop charging. Sometimes it keep charging even though it gives no charging indication sometimes it not. It kinda doesn't make any sense to not be able to charge from the wall power outlet (not from PC usb) while my sister can charge her ipad just fine and his husband can charge his asus transformer prime just fine. It happens not only in 1 hotel but from many hotels and many other cities. Well, i can charge just fine in my house but yesterday i find out that my N7 suddenly stop charging when i play a game, i have to re-plug the cable in order to make it charged again. I want to send it in for a replacement, but i afraid it will charge me a fees because of the screen scratch and the dent thingy.
overall, i'm so not impressed by the built quality of the N7. the tablet itself offer perfect user experience.

Can't speak first your first 2 paragraphs. But the last one I might have an answer. I notice you are from jakarta, and you travelled to america and complained about the charging issues there. Well; I'm not sure what outlets you have in jakarta but im almost positive it's not the same as North America. So I assume you were using an adapter. Regardless of what adapter you have and what not; it's not going to charge properly no matter what the adapter papers say to you. My girlfriend has a kobo vox and we went to europe back in june and we charged it there and it would last at the max maybe 2-3 hrs when it's supposed to be rated at 7 hrs constantly on with wi-fi.

nah, i live in NY, i order it from play store. =(

That's the Twitter effect, anything more than 140 characters and your brain seizes up, come back and join the real world.
At the OP re scratches - using your clothes to wipe a class surface is never going to be a good thing, you have no idea what might be on them, tiny bits of grit for example can scratch your screen easily. It's common sense to protect your investment by using a screen protector and when you can buy one for next to nothing it's surely a no brainer?

Fist off the screen is like any other gorilla glass screen its not scratch proof its scratch resistant. Its was probably sand that got your tablet should of bought a screen protector. Erica on xda TV has a really good video on it explain just about everything about glass tempering here is the link.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TfgKLwGnOZs&feature=youtube_gdata_player.Well next I'd say to do is check the cable and charger there can be issues there. It also could be a charging issue from the charging port or cable corroding it happened to my galaxy nexus and it I just bought the dock and use the pogo pins for charging.

Careful, the N7 doesnt have Gorilla Glass at all, it has "Scratch-resistant Corning Glass"

The charger issue seems odd to me, I've only heard of issues so far when using third party chargers which are too weak.
And the dent is odd.. Horrible luck possibly? I know i have dents like that on my laptop from things smacking the corner of my messenger bag (like a subway turnstyle) so I keep my N7 in a hard case. I dont trust those book style cases for real protection :|

Looks like I'll have to report this to my boss we will get on these issues right away

Try switching to another USB cable these new cables are pretty terrible and can crap out on you. I have some that charge but don't pass data anymore and some that don't charge or do anything else.

Even though it's just hardened glass it's still created almost the same way and still scratches with sand. I think the moral of this is always use a screen protector no matter what. And that charging issue will most likely be replaced by Google for free if you bought it from the play store. Here is the Google play numbers device help line number (855) 836-3987 I'm pretty sure its a 100% toll free.

Probably sands that scratched your screen :$
Seriously, I would suggest you to call google for a replacement. You can find their number on google.com/nexus

Headphones best suited for Evo Shift?

so every pair of headphones ive tried (about 8) seem to have a problem staying connected in the jack. ive had some cheapo $5 earbuds to trying out a friends Beats by Dre professional studio headset that he spent an ungodly amount on. i read somewhere that the slightly smaller jack on some headphones fit better in the port than others, actually snapping in place and not having disconnection problems like ive been.
i have 3 shifts and every one of them cant seem to keep the headphones from disconnecting and scaring the **** out of people i pass by on the street with my *RAWRAWRAWR* music while i fight to get the connection. any little tap dislodges them.
so are there any half decent, reasonably priced headphones at like Walmart or Target or Radioshack i can pick up that WORK with these damn phones?

Read through these two threads... they may be of some help...

I only ever had a problem with one jack and I've had my Shift for two years and I used it almost every day.

I use the 40 dollar or whatever Phillips for Android earbuds. The ones that have the ear hook and mic. They sound nice for the money and are sturdy. As in I take a bus and walk a few miles everyday and they put up with me tossing them around.
Shifted from planet Namek

I use a pair of skullcandy 50/50 model they sound good and are pretty sturdy but every1 has their own taste.

I use a $5 pair from Walmart... Not one problem.

I used some old ones from my Touch Pro 2 days on the Shift. Also have some Panasonic Earbuds I hellua like.

yea ill probably end up getting my 50/50 skullcrushers back when i get up the funds. loved the hell out of those beasty things! hope it ends up being worth it

Bluetooth Recommendations

I have had both the Motorola elite Sliver and the jawbone era. They were both of high quality but I ended up going with the Sliver over the jawbone Purley for comfort reasons. However, the thing was so comfortable that it fell off my ear and I didn't notice it... So $129 down the drain. Right now I'm using a cheapo plantronics that I picked up at Walmart and it adequate butbi really want a nice headset again.
So my question is, do I once again choose between the jawbone or Motorola, or is there another option out there?

sometimes the best place to start are the "critical" professionals: CNet's Best Blue Tooth headsets Personally, I like the Jawbone. I had the Prime then went to the Era. They felt fine to me. Although a little loose because I had worked in call center and had a custom ear mold for the phone's at work.

Thanks for the link mate, I'm pretty much burnt out on all the options presented in that review, but I guess there just isn't anything else for my money other than the jawbone. Good heads up regardless.

I've tried quite a few including the Sennheisser, Bose and Plantronics ones and the early Jawbone, and for me the best is the Jawbone Era. I also find the fit a bit loose having worked in a call centre too, but I do think it the best there (for me at any rate!)

I know it's possible to get custom ear molds for a lot ear pieces. One of these, I going to do that for mine and in ear canal headphones. After having used one at work for five years, nothing has come close, once you get use to wearing them. The one at work took a good month to get used to. After that, I would forget I had it on, unless it get yanked out; that's an unpleasant reminder.
As for the headsets, There aren't a lot to choose from that are quality and perform well. The Jawbone's definitely have a different feel for them since they sit an angel and need to rest on your jawbone area. Where others, sit more like other headphones with mics being perpendicular. Thus, at the start, they're not the most comfortable comparatively. I personally don't like or use the ear loop. Never have, and never used. I found, for me, I didn't need it with the Jawbone with their bigger earpiece ring.

Dropped my nexus 7 one to many times

So i droped my nexus last night it bounced off my night stand on the way to the ground and when i picked it up it was off. figured wtf hitt the button.
nope it stayed off
press and held the buttons and tried to get it to reset ect. no go it was dead. connected it to the charger and tried again. got a back light but nothing else.
so did the non tech thing (smacked it a few times and pressed the power , came up flaky screen was kind of scrambled. great i trashed my nexus by droping it.
so called Google they made me do all the stuff i already did, no surprise its dead.
they told me to call asus for support. , went to asus site they wanted my sn to make a case, couldn't find find it i know i registered it. they told me i would need to send it in they would charge me 65 to issue a new serial number WTF! and then if the repair was not in warnty it would cost 165 to fix the nexus. 65+165 is more than a new nexus 16 (what i have). so i said thanks but no thanks.
so as i sat and stared at my paperweight i thought why not. i got a razor blade and a butter knife. used the razor to crack the edge of the case off and then popped the back off with the butter knife.
looked around and noticed those wonderful overworked china drones routed one of the wires for the battery round the backside of a plastic support pin. this made the wire very tight and it pulled the connector off the main board on one side of the battery connector creating a short. i pushed the wire on the right side of the support pin and reset the power connector and bam nexus back to life.
so if you dropped your nexus and it boot loops and or just wont turn on when off the charger. open it up and check the battery wires bet you got the same cross eyed Chinese tech and the battery unplugged itself

Thanks for the tip. I use a TPU case for my Nexus 7.

Drop it (multiple times), smack it around, then take a RAZOR BLADE to it?! Good lord.
No surprises here.... None at all....

Cool story bro. Glad you fixed it. I fix most of my stuff too. I'm a techy guy and probably more qualified then the drones that work at the factories.
Just like my wife's Samsung Netbook (back when netbooks were cool). She insisted taking it out by the bonfire where some friends and I were drinking. I told her countless times to take it in before a full glass of red Merlot gets dumped right in the keyboard. She runs inside and plugs it into the wall??!!!
I took it apart and cleaned it up but the keyboard was hosed. I called Samsung for a replacement keyboard but they wouldn't sell me one. I had to send it in. When it got there, I got a call about purple stuff in there and thus the warranty was voided. I said yeah no ****, I told you guys we dumped wine in there. She wanted to charge me $75 for the keyboard and $125 an hour. I laughed and said I only paid $220 for it, for $200 I'd rather buy a new one and see if the old one would Blend.
Bought the keyboard off eBay for $16 and she still uses it like 4 years later.
