hi,
I have been using a Nokia phone with a 3.5 mm audio jack to connect it to my aux-in of the car and listen to music as well as make or take calls. The phone mic picks my voice quite well and I hear back the calling party through the car speakers.
Does the same work with HTC Touch HD too?
Update: I have connected the HTC Touch HD to my car's Aux in and it works well with the THD's mic picking up my voice easily. I had echo on a couple of calls but would like to check for its recurrence to believe that's some problem with unit or with the connectivity.
Afraid not mate.
When you plug something in the earphone socket, it assumes there's a mic plugged in too, like when you plug in a hands-free kit.
I've got exactly the same setup and didn't click what the problem was the first time I took a call. I just sat there like a pratt, shouting "HELLO" at my phone! lol
There may be a software workround for this, but not that I'm aware of.
I use the same approach.. but currently even though I am using a Belkin cable to a pretty neat deck.. the sound is completely off.. Treble is too high.. and My faithful kenwoods which would handle the full Volume of my N95-2 with ease are now cracking up.
Any ideas??

Ideally, you should have the phone volume at about 75% of its max (between the phone volume itself, and the volume on the music player application), and control overall volume from the deck. If it still sounds dodgy after that, mess about with the equalizer on whatever player you're using, or the htc audio booster.
If anything, mine's a little quiet, but I've not tried messing with output volume settings in Tweak HD. I tend to have to have my deck turned up about 70-80%, whereas I normally have the radio at about 20-30%.

Asking this question to all. Is anyone aware of any software to use HTC Touch HD mic while using a 3.5 mm headphones through its audio jack.
not both speakers and mic are off when in headset mode
it's a hardware thing
but like with htc headsets you can connect external speakers and mic to the conntors and it works
easy way is to tear the headset apart and solver in the stuff you want to the connector which came with the headset

Mine works fine setup like this. I've got a 3.5m jack coming out and going into the back of my headunit. I can make calls without a problem. The phone seems to realise the connected jack doesn't have a mic so uses the internal one.
The first time I tried it though the person at the other end couldn't hear me but finally worked out this was because the cradle I was using was blocking the mic on the bottom of the phone! I quick readjustment of the cradle and everything was fine.
Sound quality when playing tunes has always been fine but the voice quality aint that great, the person at the other end sometime complains about echo.

Hmm.... I'll have to have a play with that then, as it was a total failure for me previously. I definitely didn't have the mic blocked, as my cradle holds the phone by the sides.
Cheers for that - I'll have a play about.
How about something like this?
http://www.overstock.com/Electronics/Audio-3.5-mm-Adapter-with-Microphone-for-iPhone/3440143/product.html?cid=133635
(iPhone example but googling "3.5mm microphone output" finds you more, all about £3)
"How about something like this?"
there is not standart for how 3.5mm jacks with mics work as in the width of the ring and such
doubt very very very much that iphone converter would work with anything but an iphone
Thats a good idea. I havent tried this myself but its not experience that the hadware needs an attached mic when plugging the 3.5mm into speakers. I use high quality headphones with no attatched mic to listen to music on the HD and can take calls via the phone or skype by using the headphones and the phone mic.

Same setup as me for the last 12 months. I have to play around with the volume setting on the HU / HD all the time - its not ideal but the internal mic seems to pick up voice fine (and echo!).
Alright, don't know when this started but I currently have Duttys HGR1.
The problem is that when I have the standard headset (that came with the TD2) the ringtone is played in the headset, so if I have the phone on my desk I can barely hear when there's an incoming call. Worse is, that if the phone is in another room I can't hear it at all.
I have tried different headsets but all with the same problem. When I unplug the headset it's all working as it should.
Can you please post your experience on this, how's it working for you?
I haven't experience it with my TD2, but for me it's OK like that. It was just like that on my previous phones, Nokia, SE...
Logicaly is if you have attached headset that headset should be on head and listening, not disturbing anyone arround.
This is my thinking, I would like to read others also.
uhm...just unplug your headset while sitting on your desk? or any time you AREN'T using it...seriously, the effort of plugging in a mini USB jack is...minimal...to say the least.
I use bluetooth stereo headphones that have such good ear buds, that if my phone WERE to ring loud and not via the headphones, i wouldn't hear it!
Thank's for you input guys.
Might sound like a non-issue but to me it is since I have to connect and disconnect the headset maybe 20 times a day and eventually the usb-port will give up.
I could understand that this is the way it's supposed to work, but before upgrading the ROM (I think that was when this changed) it worked just like I wanted it to.
So my hope is that there is a registry setting for this. If it is, please share! That would really help me out!
Leban,
I can sympathise with you. I have a similar problem. In my car, my car cradle is an FM transmitter and charger. Therefore, my TD2 thinks it is a headset, so all sound is sent through the transmitter. This is great if I am listening to music through the car radio, but often I am not. Therefore, the only way I can tell if there is an incoming call or email or SMS is by looking at the screen. I would like the sound for these notifications to come through the external speaker even if it is connected to the transmitter.....
We all use our phones differently don't we, so Drag-on, don't assume we are all like you.

i completely agree, i just couldn't think of a practical, real-life example where one would need to change where the ring came out of. You did that for me
I am quite sure it IS do-able...i'll ask around.

Nothing new here? Would be really great if this was possible to change!
This "feature" drives me crazy
Another example is when I'm in my car, if I have the phone enxt to me I can't hear the ringing. And NO, I don't want to sit for hours in my car with the headset in my ears
One big problem with navigation:
If you turn the volume of the speaker up playing music, gps loses satellites. The speaker in the back interferes with the gps radio.
HTC's reply? A complete and utter lie - it's overheating, and we turn off gps for you so the phone doesn't overheat. I tested this just now. It's the speaker or having something to do with the volume of the speaker. Heat in irrelevant in this specific case.
So, first they lie about the fps cap, then they lie about overheating. I'm beginning to get ticked off at these people.
P.S.
Another very small bug - when navigation is active, and you attempt to make a bt call from the bt car kit, screen turns off and the bt car kit starts to beep. I had to push the power button, and then everything worked perfect. Still, a bit annoying.
P.P.S. Oh yeah, stock rooted rom, 3.0 kernel for epson panels.

Was fine for me on my stock rom. Have you tried it with the actual stock kernel?

What's that? never heard of it.
I have a stock rooted rom and running the gps+pandora radio+receiving phone calls all the time and no problems. I work on the road all day long.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
You need to make the volume loud in the external speaker to lose gps.
funny i use my nav pandora etc etc all day and all together dont have troubles
if your that unhappy you can take it back and get a iphone4 just make sure you have some duct tape
why don't you use the car's speakers, instead of the phone's? i plug my phone into the radio, listen to it and adjust the volume through there. i think trying to use the speaker on the phone while i'm in the car would be a horrible experience

How is it HTC's fault that the phone doesn't work?
Are you serious?

Do you have headphones plugged into the phone? Or are you playing the music through bt?
As I said earlier, it has to be the external speaker of the phone itself.
If your phone is rooted dont blame HTC for nothing, get a life, or an Iphone 4, like i seen so many ppl say my camera doenst work, after i rooted my Evo, cmon ppl, you know what you doing when you rooting your phone.
Ps. I am rooted with everything stock and mines work fine
Pps. Get an Apple phone, Or a motorola , I herd they dont have issues!!!

I use an FM transmitter. So I guess you could classify that as headphones

You said in your post you're using an aftermarket kernel, so how can you blame HTC.

I just tried stock kernel. Same problem.
Go read the other thread. Every single person, who said they didn't have that problem, later confirmed having it after more testing.
Here's how to test it.
Go outside and turn on gps and maps. Walk like 30-40 feet, see how responsive the location marker is (it works instantaneously, both in movement and rotation).
Now switch to the music player, run a fairly loud song, turn volume to maximum. Go back to maps.
It will either say gps lost, or the location marker will be stuck in one place.
Lower the volume to zero or plug in headphones, and gps will work again.
Plug headphones into XPERIA and I get 20+ radio stations in good qulaity; plug headphones into Omnia 7 and I get static, with the occasional hint of sound if I move the wire around. It's very occasional and very quiet though.
Anyone know what's going on?
Thanks
EDIT: Oh, it works with the included headphones but not with my own ones, even though the XPERIA works with any and all.

Does anyone know why this is? Apparently this is the case with a number of recent Samsung handsets. IS it to do with the connector or the wire(s)? If it's the connector then it should be possible to make an adapter.
Thanks
it's working fine for me
i'm using sennheiser cx400 II
are you plugging the headphones in firmly?

Ya first time i plugged in, it was low, staticy as i didn't push and "click" hard enough so to say, check if anything is blocking the jack. it's a dam snug fit to say the least.
Hi, I had a problem with my headset, I saw on internet that if I put an aluminum ball in TRS connector of the phone (the hole), my headset will work. My headset are now fixed
But now there is no speaker anymore, (i guess that my phone now think that there is a headset in it), so I will not know when someone will call me, and I need the alarm the morning to wake up for school(most important) ! :/
So I'd like to know if there is an app or something like that which could enable speaker and headset at the same, to get the speaker back.
Thanks you it's very important !
Switching between speakers and headphone is actually done physically inside the jack. AFAIK, there's no way to enable both using a software.
