Lack of 3.5mm sucks and the supplied dongle has too much stuff that ill never use most of the time - do they make aftermarket dongles with audio only ever for HTC devices? It seems one could make it pretty small and sleek and out of the way...
thx much

And I have to decide between

and
http://cnn.cn/shop/audio-adapter-extusb-with-handy-strap-p-2104.html
awesome - the 2nd one minus the strap is exactly what im looking for - thx!
I'm using this one, because of the charging capability. Works on tilt and fuze.
http://www.semsons.com/2miusband3st.html
I had both.
The second one (with the block connector) is really stupid.
After you plug in your stereo headset, you can't pull out the stylus anymore as it blocks it.
I went back to buy the cable (in the first link) as it is very handy.
Haven't tried the motorola one, but looks clunky.
What's the build quality of these adapters? I bought a similar 3.5mm adapter for a samsung phone on ebay and the build quality was crap--cheap plastic housing that I had to superglue within the first few days. Granted, for $5, one can't expect much and doesn't stand to lose much.

I used that on my tilt. It's alright. I don't like it. It cuts out sometimes and the sound starts coming from the speaker. I absolutely hate it. It sounds like crap compared to the dongle that came with my fuze. So I'm planning on ordering this:

I'm only ordering it because I don't charge my phone anywhere except at it's cradle (which has a 3.5mm output) and when I'm sleeping in my room (then it's hooked up to the audio dongle), so this is mainly for on the go. It looks good. I'll post pics and a review if I do get it.
I got the same one too... Dont plan on using the stylus in the car too much so that wasn't an issue with me. This plug looks sturdy from what I see.. My main issue with the stock plug that came with the phone was its demented behavior when not used with the charger plugged in.. I use this phone similar to my old Moto Q (sound source aux in). When i left the charger unplugged to the charger, no audio would come out of my car stereo..I thought hmm. defective plug.. Take it inside and the audio comes out clean from my headphones.... I then thought lets plug in the charger to see if that cures the issue.. Well it didn't entirely.... I got that lovely alternator whine you get with cheap audio installs. I had to pull the audio plug slowly out of the adapter to get the sound right and even then it slips and I can hear alternator whine...
Please plug be the fix...............................

True. And if the stylus thing is REALLY an issue, I'll take it apart and just switch the usb port.

Hello, im here to review the *title*.
Lets start off with the sound quality over the supplied headset.
-I get the EXACT same sound quality as i do with an ipod. (Using my own earphones).
-For deeper comparison, using my own earphones vs the one that came with the kaiser...
On the scale of 1-10, 10 being quality from an ipod
(Since sound quality varies on quality of earphones)
Bass
Supplied headset: 2
My earphones: 10
Crispness and Sound quality:
Supplied headset: 6
My earphones: 10
Now for the product(took images with my kaiser!)

Pros and Cons:
+You can sync, charge, and use stereo earphones.
+The Adapter doesn't dangle because its a direct connect.
+Ports open left of the kaiser, whereas its originaly down(Without adapter) for better comfortability when using the keyboard.(Isn't it awkward using the keyboard while syncing/charging?)
+ITS ONLY 6 USD!!!! Thats what? a double quarter pounder with cheese?
+FITS perfectly on the supplied HTC POUCH(Seriously it does, i dont have an extra camera to show you guys)
-You cant use supplied headphone + stereo headphones at the same time! (Ports are different, See pic)
-Once plugged in, Kaiser takes the adapter as earphones (even without any earphones plugged in), so you wont be able to use the speaker.
And i got it from Amazon.com, was suprised how fast it shipped to California, came next day.
http://www.amazon.com/3-5mm-Stereo-...ie=UTF8&s=miscellaneous&qid=1192248171&sr=8-1
got a question:
When you plug in 3.5mm headphones, is the sound clear? because if i use my old Imate Jam as an example, i used a 2.5mm to 3.5mm cable and i had to wiggle it until i found the 'sweet spot' where the sound is what it's supposed to be, and if i was out of the 'sweet spot' then the sound is muffled. Do you have the same problem with this adapter or not?
Well it doesnt use a cable, which is AWESOME.(So there isnt a "sweet spot" due to wire defects)
As for the sound it equals to the sound of a mp3 player(ipod, zune, etc).
So it really depends on the type of earphones you use.
This was how i tested it:
My earphones on kaiser compared to My earphones on ipod. They equal.
Then, Supplied earphones on kaiser compared to My earphones on kaiser. Huge Difference in quality.

Thanks! and i'm guessing that the quality of your headphones with adapter>>>>supplied headphones?
MP3 Play time?
Has anyone by any chance tested how long Kaiser/Tilt can play MP3's with/without any other functions ON (in flight mode for example) on one fully charged battery?
I just got one of these. Came out to around $10 after shipping. Kind of expensive.
Also got a 2 usb port to car charger. Figure I'd use one for my ipod and the other for the phone. I'm assuming that the irregular miniusb port on the htc is to accomodate the 3.5mm, and that I can use a conventional miniusb for charging.

Where do you guys keep your phone at while having this adapter in place? I like to keep my phone in its case but with the adapter it will not fit. Also I would prefer not to keep it in my pocket.

if you actually read the FIRST post, he says that it will fit PERFECTLY into the supplied HTC pouch.
Sorry but that does not pertain to me because i have an At&t tilt and that unfortunately did not come with a pouch of any kind. Maybe i should have been more specific.

I have a 3.5mm to miniusb adapter that came with my wife's Motorola SLVR. I tryied to use it with my Kaiser but it doesn't work. Can anybody tell me why it's not working? Is there something that I have to enable on my phone?
Thank you.
The motorola adapter uses different pins so it won't work on the kaiser, sorry

Exactly. You'll need a HTC specific adapter.
Try ebay.
I originally had the simple USB to 3.5 adaptor but I couldn't charge the phone at the same time.

Or this http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=150195
I confirm that on my Kaiser..the Motorola charger works fine on the Kaiser. This is probably the most reason why people also assume that the stereo adapter from the Motorola SLVR or L7 or any model would work fine. However the pin is supposed to be 11pins so you would need a different one. You can find one from the xda-developers shop or on ebay or amazon.com at around $5 +shipping would make it $10
Thanks guys for all the replys. Everything is clear now.

Be aware though that these don't seem to work on all roms, on Dutty's from the 16th it just works as a headphone adapter for me, the remote doesn't function :-(
I've tried a few of the HTC audio drivers to no avail, a few needed hard resets to recover from (yes I know most of the cabs are for different models but... ).
If you just want a headphone adapter a cheap ebay one would be the best option and use the rest of the money towards some decent headphones.
G
I'm using this one, it works fine. You can charge or sync while using the audio output.
@ajs007
Just thought you might want to know you can get that headset off ebay for like £15 delivered!
Thats what I'm going to do when I get paid, its from Hong Kong so a couple of weeks for delivery but its half the price!
Here's a shop whos selling it if you want one, they seem identical just have Dopod wrote on them instead of HTC!

Just bought this one:
It looks better than the one above.
Note: The above one will not work correctly
I have the same one as Kraize92 and it worked great for a month or two. Now I have to wiggle it in and keep it pushed in in order to work.
Junk!!!
Any other long term suggestions?
Thanks

The problem is that I bet your plastic came loose around the miniUSB part, so just pull it out a bit and apply super glue around it and then it should fit snug and you won't have to wiggle it in and keep it pushed.
The plastic at what part
What plastic part?
Are you talking about the plastic on the adaptor or the phone? I would like to get this fixed.
Thanks
I had bought that big one with the three outs before, totally sucked for my kaiser, had to push it down for it to work, then I bought the simple seidio one, miniUSB to 3.5, and works flawlessly. For those wanting to connect decent headphones to it and not having a big piece of plastic with three outs that you ain't gonna use, I recommend the seidio one
charging capability while using the headsets
I agree …The simpler the better. BUT I like the charging capability while using the headsets.!!!
Thanks
Mine just arrived. I love it so far. No problems.
@stress_analyst
Did you check and see if your USB port on your Kaiser is out of place? Because that could cause you to wiggle it before it gets a good connection.
Hey all my android brethren! I am a modest if not intensive android tester/ researcher and this post is exclusively for the Samsung Vibrant. I have tested over 25 mainstream a/v out cables and have come up with one winner in stability, quality, and greatness haha! The winner is....GIGAWARE 3.5 A/V out cable for camcorders and other devices. The product number is...11A09 and the sku....040293024246. Radioshack has it...good hunti.g and watching your phone be more then what it is!
Update: The red input is actually the video i.e. yellow input, sorry everyone!!
Sounds more like a phone accessory more than phone development...but that might just be me...Thanks for your testing either way.
How much is it?

Checked the SKU and model # on RadioShack and nothing. A Google search produces ONLY this post. Anyone have any luck with this as I would like to find a cable that works well?
What I wasn't to know is why you can't watch Avatar through the tv out cable. I can watch anything on my phone through the cable except the movie. Suck

Issues with other cables include choppy video, freezing up on tv, and just plain not working at all.

Just cut the headphone cable and attach RCA cables to it,
Headphone Wire Color codes
Red - Speaker +
Green - Speaker +
White - Video +
Gold - All Ground connects on same cable.
And your done.. takes all of 20 secs
Note: Make sure to burn off coating on headphone cables, just take a match to each seperate cable.

DRM, and yes, it does suck. But you can work around it by encoding your own and deleting the one that came with the phone. There's even an app in the apps forum to provide the launcher.
I bought this cable about a month ago. it was 30 bucks from radio shack. albeit 10ft long. works good but picture quality is so so. I also bought the samsung hdmi cable but we all know how that went.
i tried the official apple av cable that came with my old ipod, and it worked perfect with my vibrant

Yellow is video - red is right speaker, white is left speaker. What you don't get is stereo sound.
lol, "extensive" testing? Seriously? These cables are composite, the quality will NOT be any better from one to the other. If you have signal issues, then the cable may be defective.
BTW, the audio coming out of the phone is near useless with the 3.5 out. I have to increase my audio on the TV to near max in order to hear comfortably.

Zune HD dock cables work
If your Zune HD owner with dock the Vibrant only needed 3 channel 3.5 mm. I found it out when I was watching some guy using the similar cable. Not HD though but it's a start.
I just noticed this on my Note. It's not bad and you can't see it unless you look for it but I'd imagine it would get worse over time.
Here's the problem. The Note moves as you're using it in the dock and the stand is hard plastic so it leaves abrasions.
Here's the fix (from Lowe's)
I use the OEM dock and am not seeing any abrasion, yet, but thanks for the tip.

What is the universal dock capable of other than acting as a stand? How much n where can you buy them from?
I have three of the docks and my Note spends a lot of time in them. That may be why I'm showing more wear than you guys.
I got mine at MacMall for $29.99 all in. Shipping is free and 2-day if you belong to ShopRunner. It's pretty much a stand but it has a 3.5MM out jack to plug speakers in to it. The old docks were made to fit each size tablet and provided better support. The new one also has the Note sitting pretty upright compared to the old one. Demandarin, BB has them in stock in Alexandria for $34.99 if you want to see it first.

got mine at best buy and also use an HDMI plug which i piggy back to the back of this. I pretty much do all of my charging on it and moovie watching as well as listen to my music. It was about $35 at BB. I think the HDMI was about $22 on amazon. I will look for a link.
I went and got a notebook 'skin'.. those lightly adhesive decoration sheets meant to put on the lid of laptops and netbooks and carefully cut it to match the Note and stuck it on there... mainly because I'd heard so much about the Note's back being 'soft'.
So the dock would only scratch the sticky.
My biggest complaint about the dock is that you can't charge AND sync at the same time. It would have been nice to have a USB connection on this too.
Since no ones mentioned hdmi output in any of these docks, im assuming because there is'nt one, but just incase, does anyone know or own a compatible note dock with hdmi output?
HDMI would have to run through the charging port via a dongle so a charging dock won't do it without an additional adapter. Any other type of dock you can just flip the tab over and use the dongle.

I've been using the universal dock as a stand for about an hour a day and haven't noticed any scratches, but thanks for posting this! I'll keep an eye on mine. I got the dock at Best Buy (at the time, they were about the only ones locally who had it in stock), because the regular stand I was using didn't accomodate the thin-ness of the Note very well and I was afraid of it landing on the floor one day.

Yeah that's what you would think. Headphones work but auxiliary cables don't. The current workaround is using a headphone splitter and plugging regular headphones in one socket abd the aux cable to the car stereo in the other

That's crazy, did you try two different auxiliary cables? I know you can buy auxiliary cables new and not work. It's very common, unfortunately. I did see you posted that I guess various people have had this issue though.

Nope the cable works with other phones. It's a know g3 problem, Google it.
I did a factory reset on mine last night which has cleared up the aux cable issue in my car (for now).

Many folks have said when they went to a good quality auxiliary cable, works fine. I use Bluetooth to my Entune unit in my Tundra, but I did test the aux after reading some of this. My monster cable aux had no issues....

OMG the best buy guy was right, the monster cable does give me better HD.... Dude just admit it, there is a pretty bad bug in that most cables dont work and the ones that do have popping sounds. The phone is also laggy. Think back to the froyo days, that's the way you feel using this phone. and the screen is dim. I'm not some troll, just someone who has owned this and the M8. Between the two I would still choose this one, but more so because the m8 has horrible battery life and an annoying power button that make its a pain to use.

Not sure what ur deal is slappy, but don't try to tell me how my phone acts. I have NO popping, or aux cable issues at all. It is what it is, take it or leave it. I just gave my experience with my phone, my truck, and what others have said. U started the thread, people here try to give input/advice, but if u already know everything why bother? If u don't like the phone, replace it with a device that u will be happy with. Very simple....
I don't have this issue at all. Plug into both a cassette adapter in my beater and an aux cable in my wife's minivan and both work flawless. I get an audible double beep when I plug in, the icon in the status bar shows I'm connected to Aux cable, and my podcasts and Spotify work flawlessly. Aux cable was $4 at the checkout counter of a Walmart and the cassette adapter was from my old XM dashboard receiver. Nothing fancy and no issues at all.

I have an iFrogz aux cable that I got from when I worked at Sprint. My T-Mo G3 works great in my car with that and another cable I have. Never had better sound. Works way better and sounds cleaner than my Nexus ever did.

Yep, all those people with car aux problems using cables that work with every other phone must be doing something wrong since your cable/car/phone combo works lol.
