Hi, I've been having some problems with the adapter that comes with the phone that adds a wired headset port. I use another 1/8" to 1/16", or whatever standard headphones are, adapter to listen to music. Whenever the first adapter is moved around, the phone automatically redials the last number I called. I was wondering if this is possible to fix, because I just got both adapters replaced and the problem lingers.
damn, came here looking for a fix and no luck. same thing happens to me. i plug in my 3 in 1 adapter to listen to Pandora in my car and as soon as gets playing, the phone starts dialing away. ive cleared the call history but no luck
xv6900 using the official "leaked" 6.1 rom from back in November or so
Instead of using a regular 1/16" to 1/8" phono plug adapter try using a hands-free headset adapter that includes a mic and answer button like this one from PPCtechs:

I think some regular 1/6" to 1/8" adapter can occasionally short or close the same set of contacts that the answer button on a headset adapter uses which makes it look like you pressed the answer button to the phone. And I believe by design the answer button is supposed cause the phone to redial the last number when pressed.

Hi,
I have connected my KJam to my car stereo via a cable from the 2.5mm jack to the aux port of my car stereo. Tom Tom voice and phone calls are routed through my car stereo. Sometimes, the microphone will not work when I take a call. I can hear the caller perfectly but they can't hear me. Other times, the phone functionality works perfectly and we can both hear each other great.
If anyone can suggest any ideas, I would be very grateful.
Thanks
if your using a jack to connect it to your car, then its will prob. stop the mic working as its routing the audio to you car in the same way the headset with mic that you got with the k-jam does. I had this problem on mine, but due to the fact that i use a bluetooth neadset in the car fixed that little problem 8)
That's the end of my k-jam desires then.
I use my MDA compact in the same way you describe, for TomTom, Hands free calling and to play my music through.... and my microphone works fine with the headphone jack in.
I guess one thing to check would be the number of rings on your 2.5mm jack. If you have 3 then theres a possibility the k-jam thinks you have a mic on the end of the wire. If you have 2 rings (normal stereo headphones) then there must be another issue somewhere.
thanks for your replies. My concern was around the fact that sometimes the microphone works and sometimes not. I wonder if there is a workaround or a specific type of cable that I need to ensure that only the audio is routed and not the mic as well.
Thanks for all your help.l
never tried this myself, so i can only assume it would work. you could hack a cheap wired headset up, removing the earpieces but leaving the microphone. then add a stereo 3.5 plug so you can hook it up to your car stereo.

I have that very problem also, it's gotten that annoying that i've stopped using it through my stereo. you are able to get around it by popping the cable out of the kjam, then putting it back in.
pain in the ass though none the less.
What is the phone is set to Speakerphone ?
Even though Speakerphone is currently not working...
Hey all,
Just wondering if anyone has had any success in fixing this problem? I am having the same issue. I have a 2 ring 2.5-3.5mm adapter connected (so it should only be routing the audio, not the mic) and sometimes the caller can hear me, sometimes not. At one stage I found by unplugging the cable, setting to speakerphone, then unsetting speakerphone and plugging the cable back in would get it to work, but not anymore...
Any ideas?!?! I love my XDAII mini but this is driving me up the wall!
Cheers,
jlitjens
Does anybody know the wiring diagram for the supplied headset?
Wolfgang
Sorry wolfgang, this is just a bump and not an answer. I'd also like to know if anyone's investigated the headset. What I'd like to be able to do (and I've never even *seen* the headset yet, still stuck in the hell of trying to obtain an Exec, see other threads) is use the microphone / button from the headset with a different pair of headphones.
I assume you mean the plug wiring? I've not had time to double-check this yet, but I believe it's the same as my Jornada 928 mic/stereo-headset.
Reading from the tip of the plug:
Plug tip: Left ear piece (short cable on the Jornada)
1st ring: Right ear piece (long cable on the Jornada)
2nd ring: Microphone
Top ring: Ground
When it arrived, I briefly tried the Jornada headset in the O2 Exec, and it worked in both ears, but I didn't check the left/right orientation. Until my Jabra BT500 bluetooth headset arrived, I was also using a self-modified (re-plugged) Plantronics single-ear headset with the tip and 1st ring linked to give mono, and that works without problems.
I suspect the standard headset shorts one of the signal lines to ground to give the answer/end function, but don't know which one.
HTH
Hey Astage can you tell me the Headset you using with single headset?
I am not heavy music listener, and I want a wired headset with single speaker ...
I will check plantronics sites also...
Please update me with the model which works fine with Wired Single Headset.
dont forget that you can use completely normal headphones in the Jasjar, this means (as posted Astage) meaning the ring that is the odd one out, compared to normal headphones, is used for both the Mic and the button. If nokia's are anything to go by the button will switch in a resistance of a certain value to indicate it has been pressed (this is because if the Mic is a coil mic it will already read as 0 ohms, a straight short to ground)
Mniko: Unfortunately this will not help you - I have the Plantronics M130 - however, as I said, I had to wire a different plug onto it.
The problem is that most single-ear headsets come fitted with a 3-ring 2.5mm diameter plug, wired as:
Plug tip: Microphone
1st ring: Ear-piece
Top ring: Ground
The Exec/Universal and other microphone+stereo headsets seem to use a larger 4-ring 3.5mm plug wired as per my earlier message. Because of the different wiring for the microphone signal you cannot just use a 2.5 to 3.5mm converter - even if you can find one. The situation is made worse if the headset (e.g. Plantronics) has a microphone sensitivity switch built into the plug, as you may need to also transfer this into the new plug.
Ice_coffee: Thanks for the update - saved me having to cut mine open.
yes I understand.... the prob is 2.5 & 3.5mm... I dont think any headset available around 3.5mm with mic and single headset, that made me to cut off the second speaker, which I already did...
I found one on http://pc-mobile.net/pxdaa.htm
But they dont seems to have it anymore... I really wonder how come HTC didnt thought of it... after all universal is a phone to rite?
Ok well, using my multimeter and some maths I figured out that
1) Under normal circumstances the jasjar sees the mic as a 1000 ohm load
2) It knows when you have pressed the button because the load drops from 1000 ohms to a mere 45 ohms
3) you could acheive this by putting an 47ish ohm resistor on a switch in parallel with the mic, using this info you can construct a working headset from almost any headset on the market, most notably the many many headset/mic combos available for PC's
Call me old fashioned, but I prefer at times to use a cheap 2.5mm headset with my phone. Don't have to worry about charging it and don't have to worry about losing it either.
Well, I got an HTC adapter from a friend with a Mogul that connects to the Tilt (it fits) and splits into a 2.5mm and mini-usb jack. All was fine until recently when people started telling me that they were having trouble hearing me, and one who told me to take them off speaker. I just did a test by calling my voicemail and putting the phone in a closed drawer. The voicemail was empty, so obviously, the microphone on the headset wasn't being used - it was using the mic on the phone instead. Is this the way it is supposed to work or do I have either a defective Tilt or a defective adapter?
Thanks,
Koj
You tried a different headset? I have had real problems with wired headsets having crappy microphones.
Yes - I tried three headsets already. The problem is that the mic does not pick up at all. Test it out - I blow on the headset's mic and the other person hears nothing. I blow on the phone's mic, and they hear it.
Strange
i bought the 3 n 1 mini usb adapter (headset, 3.5 mm jack, charger) for the tilt on ebay and when i plug it in...all it does it repeatedly dial the last number i called, even if the charger or headset is not plugged in...is there a a setting i can adjust so that it will stop doing this?
To clarify...
You plug only the adapter in and it dials the last number all by itself? Hmmm... If that's the case I'd say it's a faulty plug. I've heard a fault in the usb port can cause wierd stuff, but never heard of the phone dialing itself.
I was thinking about getting one of these...
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...STRK:MEWA:IT&viewitem=&item=350026228214&rd=1
Is it the one you got? Can you tell me if the 3.5mm jack will work with a headphone / microphone set up? I'd like to be able to answer calls while I'm plugged in with my headphones.
i have this one...http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-3-in-1-STER...ryZ15040QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
it's slightly different than the one you were looking at...that sucks if the plug is faulty...i just got it today...it is the strangest thing though when it dials by itself....it will just redial the number even if you end the call....
I would just send it back for an exchange. Does the phone auto dial if you plug in something else (ie. charger, sync cable, usb headphones)? Wish I could help more but I've never heard of this.
If you have a voice command software installed (Cyberon or Microsoft) it could be picking up interference from the adapter as a command to dial.
Let me know if you find out whether the 3.5mm will support a microphone. If it does I'll give it a try too and see if it auto dials mine.
i plug in the wall charger and headset individually...no problems...the phone acts normal...just when i plug in that adapter it starts going haywire...
I purchased one of these and it arrived yesterday:

I'm suffering the same problem as the first poster - my TyTN II is randomly calling the last number dialled, and is also firing up VoiceCommander when this is plugged in.
Am going to test if it occurs when the adaptor is plugged in but no headphones are attached.
Very frustrating, although this was only a short term solution for listening to music (the HTC supplied headphones are CRAPTASTIC!) until I purchase a stereo bluetooth headset.
I've tried both of the ones I've listed below without any strange behavior on my Tilt.

I have the Semsons 2-in-1 also with a Tilt and have had no problems, but then again I am not using any voice command software.
BTW, it is a little bit cheaper if your order it direct from the company
http://www.semsons.com/2miusband3st.html
I've been using one of these for about a month now, paid about 8 bucks for it, works flawless with my T-Mobile Wing. Maybe it's an isolated Tytn II/Kaiser problem?

Update
I've uninstalled VoiceCommander and now have no issues using the adaptor. It appears they were causing some interference and sending a redial command.
Will reinstall when I move to a bluetooth headphone/mic setup, but has done the trick for now.
Has anyon had issues with the tilt speaker not turning off when using the 3-in-1 adpater? I just got one off of ebay and it plays both out of the 3.5mm jack and the tilt's speaker at the same time. I have a single 3.5mm to USB and it doesn't have this issue. Any help?
Nevermind, looks like it was a phone issue. I turned the phone off and then back on again and it had no problems.
omg guys I'm so ticked. I got mine to use in my car. I was gonna stream music to my phone and also use it as a hands free solution. I plugged it in and started having the same problems with voice command and the dialing. I'm NOT uninstalling my vc software! All I want to be able to do is have my tilt's sound going through the speakers and be able to use my voice command as well. Why should that be impossible??? I need to know, is this a problem with just this one adapter? If you have voice command on your tilt and have a different adapter that is giving you no problems, please let me know so i can get that adapter asap. This stuff is very frustrating. Thanks. SPACE

Hey I got the same problems ? But this ist no phone issue I think it is a profile issue because the Phone got a Headset connection with this 3in1 Adapter so the speakers are disabled.
Is there Any Software or sth. else to switch speakers back on. ?
Has anyone figured out a solution to this? Have a friend that just got one of those adapters from Amazon and it does the same thing, keeps trying to redial the last number called over and over.
you have to buy another one with a specific type of plug for it to work properly. Even then, I believe that when a headset type thing is plugged in it automatically turns off the mic on the phone... very stupid... I think this is because whatever htc wanted you to use has a mic built into already.... still stupid. I saw htc's adapter online somewhere, might have been a link in this thread.
Hi everyone,
I'm wondering if it's possible to have built-in mic active when a cable is plugged into the 3.5 mmjack. For example...I connect the hd2 to the car stereo and if I get a call i need to disconnect the cable because the built-in mic is inactive.

Mine works when I plug mine into my car with a standard 3.5mm stereo cable.
Does the cable you're using have 1 or 2 black stripes on the plug?
i agree, this feature was one of the most pleasant surprises for me with the HD2.
on my kaiser, i used a special HTC headset that had an inline microphone (which i snapped on to my shirt collar) and this headset allowed me to plug in a standard 3.5mm stereo jack, which my car audio was plugged in to. this was the best solution at the time for the kaiser that allowed me to keep all cables connected and be able to use the car's speakers and have a working microphone all at once.
but with the HD2...WOW!!! i plugged in my car stereo's 3.5mm stereo jack straight into the HD2 and put on some music and started driving. a call came in while driving and i just pressed answer because i was still used to my kaiser set up (i had owned the HD2 for less than 24 hours at this point so wasn't quite used to it yet).
i started hearing the other party and i started speaking. and the other party could hear me. and THEN it hit me...i was like, holy hell!!!...what am i speaking in to? how come the other party can hear me?
great features, great phone!

I think it has two stripes since it's a stereo jack. I'm not sure but i think initialy I was able to speak in the car with the leo plugged into the stereo. May be some app I've installed later changed something?!?
the built in mic will stay active unless u have a cable with 4 connections (3 rings on the plug), a regular stereo cable has 2 rings. I've been using this type of setup for a couple of years with my previous phone, a.k.a. iphone. The mic is pretty sensitive and can pick up your voice rather well. I have my hd2 clipped to my sunvisor for easy access and routed the wiring inside the windshield molding down under the dashboard to the stereo and it works pretty good.
