I bought one of those usb hubs of ebay so that you can charge your phone and listen to the headphones at the same time.
My problem is it seems to activate the voice dial function.
anyone else found a solution for this?

This adapter accually I believe comes with the phone. It came with my htc touch diamond before I ended up taking it back.

so did the replacement unit work ok then?
The one that came with the phone has more options than the one you posted. The one that came with the phone had 2 mini usb ports, 1 3.5 headphone jack adapter, and 1 2.5 headphone jack adapater all in one unit.

I recently picked up a set of earbuds and a 3.5mm adapter for my Tilt and have not been able to get the sound to play through the headphones... Is this a radio version issue? I'm a bit new to all this. I flashed my phone to the most recent ROM from HTC, installed the keyboard fix and that's about it. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!
JM
try flashing another radio...this is usually the culprit with no sounds...
I had this problem. When I plugged in the headphones, sound still came out of the phone speaker. It turned out one of the pins in the usb port was bent. If you get sound from the speaker with them plugged in, that could be your problem.
from my understandings...
There are 2 types of mini usb 3.5 mm headphone jacks. one that pulls form the top row on the mini usb port and one that pulls from the bottom row on the mini usb port. One works with the tilt, the other will not. More than likely you got the one that will not work with the tilt.

The sound comes through the external speaker just fine, I also tried ALL the radios and nothing helped. There are no bent contacts so I guess it is probably that I got the adapter that will not work with the tilt. Does anyone know of a specific manufacturer that makes one that does work with the tilt? I picked this one up off ebay for about .50 cents, no idea who makes it.
I had one adapter with gold plated on the 3.5mm headphone side, the connection to USB was bad. I had to hold it down for it to work properly. I have since bought another one (with L shape USB connector), it works perfectly. Either you need to juggle it to see if it's a connector issue or you simply got the wrong type of adapter.
What kind of adapter is it?
I bought a "OEM" adapter from a website selling Tilt accessories, and it works fine. However, when I picked up a Motorola headphone kit with a USB adapter, it did not work, and the sound would only come out of the speaker.
The Moto compatible adapters do not work. HTC specific adapters are fine. They are also available in 2.5mm if you want to use a cell headset with it instead of bluetooth.
The Kaiser requires an 11 pin usb adapter......I believe the Razr uses a 7 pin? if im correct. That is why you dont have sound....
A cheaper way, ie: FREE! is to make one yourself out of the cheap pair that came with the kaiser!
see this: http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index.php/2006/08/18/orange_spv_m3100_headphone_adapter_hack
its for the TyTN 1, but it still works for the Kaiser, its also very fun and great to show off to people
I use a mini-USB adaptor (3.5 mm) from Boxwave and it works great with my Shure SE 110 earphones! The adaptor was around $12.00.
Internal Microphone
When I plug my heaphones in, it seems that the internal microphone (on the phone) is disabled.
Is it possible to hear the sound through the headphones and talk through the phone?
I hate having to unplug the headphones every time someone calls me.
I decided that I wanted to use the USB to 2.5mm adapter that came with my device to connect my phone to the auxilarry jack in my car for music. When I hooke the adaper up the sound still comes from the device instead of the USB. Has anyone else had this problem.
Device info:
ROM 20273 from ppckitchen
Radio 2.42.40
Anyone else?
mine works freakin great
I may be dreaming, but I thought there was a problem with some roms and some adapters. Have you tried a different adapter?
No I just tried the one that came with my device. Evanbriggs which one do you use and what ROM are you running?
Edit: I see it in your signature. NM.
Does any sound come through at all? Do you get any sound when you wiggle the 2.5 mm Jack. Mine is kind of funny - I can't stick mine in all the way - if I do I only get mono sound rather then stereo - I have to push my jack in only a little more than half way to get stereo sound. All the way in results in mono - to far past half way results in no audio - Too little results in no audio. I suspected faulty adapter and never did test with another adapter though because I got tired of all of the wires anyway and just went with the Motorole T505 bluetooth and FM Stereo transmitter instead.
I get full stereo. Works like a champ with Resco Raido. i use a 2.5 -3.5 converter so i can use it in my truck.
I have not been able to get mine to function at all. I have tried wiggling, half way out, hlaf way in (lol). I cannot get it to funtion at all. I guess I will have to buy a diffrent one and try it. I was hoping to get some some Kitchen users to confirm which brand works.
I did this post about 6 months or so ago
Hi all, I looked at this and did fix it for the after market adapters a few months back. I have the same problem as you with the stock adapter and a 3.5mm adapter in it just too much of a pain to get it just right to work, the after market USB to 3.5 worked on stock ROM and then had issues with the DCD ROMs but not his fault as it was an issue with the 6.1 audio drivers, fixed by a simple wire snip in the adapter itself. If you do not get the audio to mute on the device when you plug in the USB then the line that grounds in the connector to do the mute and switch operation is not doing it's thing, suspect the adapter or connector in the phone. It is an 11 pin connector and quite complicated, so get an after market 3.5 to USB, find my post 6 months or so ago and isolate it to adapter or titan.
i had the same problem
my inline usb remote stop working for about 2 weeks..in fact the usb port just stopped working completly
my mogul wasnt being detected by the compute either but it would still charge
i thought i was a broken port but wen i boot into the bootloader while it's still connected it magically gets recognised by the computer
driver issues?
anyway activesync and the remote started workin again a few days ago...
but I know it will stop working again
stock usb to 2.5 never worked -rom prob?
My stock adapter has never worked. I bought an aftermarket usb to 3.5 and a set of headphones built with a usb plug and neither of those worked either. Still using DCD 3.12 from May. Is this a known problem with that rom?[/I]
Count me in!
And I thought I alone had these problems.
A week ago, I stopped receiving sound out of the left earpiece.
Two days ago, sound stopped coming out of the USB port altogether: It would continue coming out of the external speaker. Folks on the Metro gave me dirty looks as I tried this and that to restore the USB sound. I've tried two adapter cables (same brand, from eBay).
I have an XV6800 Verizon's OEM ROM (2.09)...but tons of software tweaks.
I may switch to BlueTooth. I have a pair of HP's BlueTooth stereo noise-canceling closed phones, for which I paid $100. But the on-off slide switch keeps turning ON in my commuting bag, and all I get is a depleted battery when I'm ready to listen.
I just tried on no2chemspre3 rom, I get audio out of the factory wired/2.5mm adapter. I have always had sound regardless of rom. I use the factory adapter and a stereo headset from my old ampd E816 (best phone in the world). I have never had a usb-3.5mm adapter or a usb-2.5mm-3.5mm combo to test though.
I am listening to some Dyslexic Speedreaders right now. Try a wired phone headset. Just to see if it would work for you.
Hi folks,
I used my Iolite the last weekend for the first time in a car (don't have one on my own) and noticed that the cigarette-lighter-power-adapter can't be attached to my Iolite. It has not the HTC usb-plug like my phone but a standard mini-USB jack.
Did i run into a single product package error or do more people have that problem?
hi
i did not check my own car charger but one thing is sure is that u can either plug a HTC usb, or a mini usb 'normal', i use a normal usb cable (mini B is plugged on the iolite)
HTC Usb-Phone port can use normal mini-usb jack
Seriously ?
Sounds weird to me but indeed, i did not try that. It just looked wrong. But I will see if it works, later that day at home. Thanks for your replies.
it is ok, i thought it will not fit and brought it back to the buyer, but the funniest thing although it seem different but it fit to the phone
The HTC Jack is normally for the audio connector. I believe that they supply one USB "HTC" cable, and now they have clicked, use for both PC connection and charging
Everyone is right in what they are saying it makes no difference to the performance of the cable. It just means that you can't plug the audio leads into another Mini USB port
Yes it works as told. I just forgot to write down my feedback after reading those posts here.
I just received an HTC Charger that I ordered from "Android Central" and the part that connects to the PHONE is not the same as the original that came with my HTC Hero... I am just wondering if it makes a difference or not...
The HTC Charger from Android Central works perfectly fine, I am just wondering why its different from my original that came in the HTC Hero box.
It may just be a standard mini USB. They work just fine, but they don't have the "HTC rounded end"
and in order for it to charge as fast as the stock charger it needs to be 1000MaH..or (1amp)
The mini-USB will work fine but may feel a little looser than the HTC version.
I have always wondered what HTC was thinking when they designed this? They sell a plug that won't go into anything else but an HTC phone and yet any mini-USB will fit into the phone's input.
I'm not complaining but it seems like if they wanted to go out of their way to have a proprietary interface (like Sony-Ericsson) they would have made it, well... more "proprietary".

Yeah, I really don't understand why they put the slanty-bit at the right instead of just making it stansard mini USB. They have been switching to micro USB for their new phones (i.e. Nexus One, Desire, HD2)

There's one big, distinct advantage of their special connector: extra pins.
These extra pins are used for audio (and sometimes video) output. This is critical for people like me, as I only have to plug in one connector in my car to both charge the phone and get audio into the stereo. You can't do that with mini-USB.
Mini-USB connectors should not be any looser than the HTC one.

True. My car has a radio w/ an auxiliary input, so I use a mini USB charger and plug the aux into the audio jack to navigate.

Thats what i would do..until i got my car (and stereo) jacked lol.....
I have been using the mini usb audio adapter with my Hero since I purchased it. I use it to charge and to run audio simultaneously through my stereo. Since the 2.1 updates (both Damage and Fresh) the audio no longer works and the sound quality through the top headphone jack is mediocre. I am aware of equalizer apps but I cant stand having something plugged in to the top and bottom of my phone, it makes it horribly annoying to use the phone. I am willing to test anything and i am willing to bet this is an easy fix that probably got overlooked while building the roms.
Thank you in advance for anyone who can help.
I found this
https://review.source.android.com/#change,9780
It happened with the g1 when 1.5 came out. Would love it if someone else with a multifunction adapter and 2.1 could test to see if they have the same problem.
I thought phones with 3.5mm jacks wouldn't route audio thru the mini usb jack? When i first got my hero i tried plugging in an old HTC wired headset that connected via usb and when i plugged it in an error popped up that said something to the extent of "usb headset no longer works with phone equipped with headset jack" So i assumed it was because it seems pointless to have audio running thru usb and rca at the same time.
Re: [BUG] No Audio through mini usb on 2.1
I suppose it seems redundant but for docks and convenience it makes sense. being able to charge and run audio through the bottom was a big selling point for me.
I have used both damage and fresh, and get audio out using the adaptor that came with my htc touch pro.
Re: [BUG] No Audio through mini usb on 2.1
huh, that's the exact adapter I'm using...
note-if I plug in the adapter while sound is going the headphone icon comes up and it plays for a second then stops.

I'm running the latest DC ROM and audio from the mini USB works ok for me with no problems with a multifunction adapter.
I use this particular adapter:
http://www.onlysprinthero.com/htc3in1adapter.html
I agree as well that the audio output from the headphone jack is pretty lousy.
I hope I am not misunderstanding but I just plugged in the USB adapter from my Diamond and was able to get audio from the 3.5mm jack on the adapter and charge at the same time. Im running Fresh 2.0D.
Re: [BUG] No Audio through mini usb on 2.1
starting to think its my phone, going to test the adapter on another hero, hopefully it just went bad, I've had it awhile.
Sent from my HERO200 using the XDA mobile application powered by Tapatalk
Same here, I have my multi adapter from my Touch pro and mogul, as well as the wired headsets from those. Both adapters work just fine, but only the wired headset with the slider volume bar works on the hero for some reason, the touch pro wired headset does not.
Works fine for me.
Thanks for everyones help, i just got back from a sprint store where i tested my adapter on other phones and they gave me a brand new one and it still doesnt work. If you move it around a bit it will catch the headphone contacts so it has to be the port on my phone, just happened to be when i upgraded to 2.1.
They recommended i take it to one of their service stores, does anyone have any advice on these places? ie- do i need to restore to stock and unroot, is it expensive... I do not have the insurance because i baby my phones and have never damaged one... of course i have it on my wifes though... grrr...
and yes the sound quality is MUCH better through the mini usb port.
Thanks again for everyones help, i really appreciate it.
Your phone is still under warranty. Unless you obviously broke it somehow, it won't cost anything. They'll take your phone, probably clean out the connector and check its connections, then give it back to you within an hour or so. If they can't fix it, they'll hook you up with a refurb.
I do recommend restoring to stock. A nandroid backup of stock is definitely best, as they won't check to see if you've installed a recovery ROM, and you won't have to re-root to put your custom backup back on. Otherwise, just run the RUU and restore to full stock before you bring it in.
So for those of you who do use an adapter for various reasons, are you able to answer a call without removing the adapter? Specifically, if you're using the adapter with a pair of headphones or speakers, but no external microphone, can you answer the call using the internal microphone without removing the adapter?
