Hi,
The Touch HD has 3.5 mm socket for hands-free headset; this socket caters to both headphone and microphone.
Now my question is - can I put a standard 3.5 mm headphone jack in this socket? Will it affect the phone or headphone in anyway (since socket expects 3 inputs - 2 for stereo headphone and 1 for microphone, and will get only 2 - for stereo headphone)?
Thanks
Nitin
Works fine
I have used standard stereo headphones without a microphone in my HD and it worked fine, the problem was that when someone called me, despite being able to hear them I still had to get the phone from my pocket to have a conversation.
My query; the Nokia comes with a 3.5mm jack cable for video output, I tried it on my touch and it doesn't work, BUT I saw somewhere in the Winmo registry an option to switch it on, will this work if I can find the damn setting again?
the touch pro features video out through the extusb connector, the hd doesn't.
your adapter is through the audio connector? as far as I know, none of the htc's uses this method, so it won't work

Hi all
I have a MDA compact which I wish to connect to my car stereo as a handsfree unit. I have an auxiliary input for my stereo.
Is it possible just to purchase a 2.5 to 3.5mm lead for this? I have a gut feeling the mic won't work - please help? Is it possible to buy such a lead with a built in mic?
Thanks
Carl
Hi, I used to have a XDAII which I connected to the auxillary port on my car stereo, just like you suggest. It worked perfectly. When using the phone, the caller's voice woudl come out of the car speakers and the mic was powerful enough to pick up my voice even though the unit was mounted on my windscreen.
Unfortuntely, both the Wizard and the Exec automatically disable the mic when you plug into the headphone socket. Not sure about the MDA comact. Sorry couldn't offer more advice on your particular device, but I hope my experiences help.

I do have the same setup. I can confirm U the mic still work after U plug in the adapter but I normally use a BT headset when I am in the car.
OK, so I assume that if I purchase a 2.5mm to 3.5mm lead, the mic should work?

Yes. 8)
OK - did some work on this.
I decided to cut the earplugs off of the supplied headset, and attach a 3.5mm socket.
I now have a custom XDA mini lead
All works, however volume from car stereo speakers is extremely low. Any ideas? (Yes, I have checked car volume, phone volume and headphone volume!)
Cheers
Carl

Hi Jackleung, my mic is being diabled, and i am beginning to think that I may not have the right connector. I have a standard 3.5mm connecting the exec. Can you let me know how you have wired your device with the type of connector? You may be able to solve a longstanding problem of mine.
Thanks in advance.
I found my mic was cancelled with the Mini, hence the custom cable.
hope this helps!

I think my adapter is just a standard 2.5mm to 3.5mm converter. I tried 2 different adapter (one from Radio shack and the other one from ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-CABLE-headp...ryZ15040QQssPageNameZWD1VQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)
Both are working for me (I will try again today and confirm U tomorrow), therefore I think yr problem is in the exec hardware itself.
To Carl,
Yr setup will not work since yr supplied headset adapter has at least 4 connection on the plug compare to 3 on the standard one. The extra connection is for the mic. If U cut the wire like this:
<---- X --- mic+volumn control ------ ear plugs
Then U can no longer use the mic w/ the custom wire. But if U:
<------- mic+volumn control -- X ---- ear plugs
then the mic on yr mic+volumn control will pick up the voice
hi jackleung
Thanks for the reply - the lead was cut after the mic but before the earphones.
This was because a standard lead with a 2.5 / 3.5mm adaptor didnt work.
My only issue now is the low volume!
Cheers
Carl
I tried it on my Imate Jam again. My mic on the Jam still works (eg: Voice Command via Cyberon Voice Dial. So do phone conversation) even I use my 2.5mm/3.5mm adapter to connection it to my car stereo.
Hi,
I did the same for me and a friend of mine with a Univer..er - Jasjar and connected this to an FM transmitter - We have excellent sound quality, volume and the you can still answer calls by pressing the Mic Button

check connections?
I have done exactly what you did, put a 3.5mm socket on the end of the included handsfree cable.. volume is fine, and i regularly connect it to the aux in the car, and multiple sets of headphone/speakers...
The best suggestion to your volume problem is to try again.. i know i had issue with the stereo channels getting screwed up (and even combined at one point) and it was just trial and error getting the connections clean..
You have to ensure that both the shaft and tip connectors on the socket are grounded to the shared ground on the circuit board.. otherwise the audio will probably be less than perfect.. check for dodgy soldering/connection.. coz i can assure you that your theory does work!

There is another topic on this here.
The person from there uses:
http://www.expansys-usa.com/product.asp?code=PPCPADPT02
which has two 3.5mm plugs.
Description: It has a 2.5mm plug at one end (this plugs into the PocketPC) and two 3.5mm sockets at the other end (into which you plug your 3.5mm headset or headphones).
My question was: could I put a standard 3.5 car kit mic into this 3.5 headset jack (the one with the mic)? Would the mic work if I plug it into a headset jack?
I assume the other one (headphones = stereo only) I will plug it directly into my car auxiliary via a 3.5mm to RCA cable, right?
is there any way to enable build-in microphone while using 2.5mm audio jack connected to car's stereo?any registry edit?Thanks in advance!
I think that the insertion of a jack into the socket operates a hardware switch so I don't think there can be any software tweaks. It is the same as plugging headphones in to a radio etc. the insertion of the jack breaks the connection to the speakers and diverts the output to the headphones.
I got a 2.5mm 4pole male to 3.5mm 3pole female adapter with built in mic and volume control off ebay for less than £5. A cheap 3.5mm patch lead to car stereo later and it works perfectly, other than a slight alternator induced whine is audiable when charging. This is more likely to be from my cheap car charger as it goes when not charging. I like the way MP3s etc get muted when a call comes in. TomTom, Mortplayer and phone calls all at the same time, I love my Wizard.
Guess u didn’t try it. I have my wizard attached with the car stereo and when I get a call i can receive it and talk, the mic gets activated auto. Works perfect for me. Give it a try should work for u.
didn't try what?how does your mic work?
Well I use a 2.5 to 3.5 mm converter which in connected via RC wire to the car stereo linein, when I get a call I just receive it and I can talk. The music stops I can hear the person call and can talk back, the microphone works perfect.
with mine 2.5->3.5 mm jack(done it myself, the 2.5mm jack has 3 poles, not 4) can only hear but the other person doesn,t hear me
my jack has 3 poles, bougth it from ebay some time back, works perfect for me
I purchased a 3.5mm adapter to listen at the gym. My first try was generic and I got no audio, this new set only gets one channel. I think it's got to do with a microphone.
Here's what I bought off ebay: 3.5mm USB AUDIO ADAPTER FOR HTC TYTN II 8925 MOGUL 6800

When you get no audio from the headphones (with your adapter), is the sound coming from your phone's speaker? Usually when those types of adapters aren't getting the sound through, it will come through the phone's speaker. You might want to try the HTC adapter that came with the phone with a 2.5MM phone stereo headset. The phone seems to be very sensitive with regard to audio coming through adapters and other types of headsets...
I have that one and it works just fine
What about registry settings? Would the BT Audio program that turns bluetooth to stereo do anything?
Heya,
Currently I have a 3 way splitter HTCusb -> Power (miniusb) | Audio (3.5mm) | HTC Headset Connection (HTCusb)
What I need is a microphone only 'headset' to go in the headset socket, as the audio is allready being passed to my car's speakers via the 3.5 jack.
Does anyone know if/where somthing like this exists? or should i buy a cheap headset and splice the earphones off?
Also anyone else find the fuze is unable to gain positive charge whilst on and connected to a 12v ciggaret adaptor, it still drains but at a slower rate, but I do not have an offical charger, which may be the problem.
+1
I also have my audio sent to my car speakers. But since the phone thinks I have a headset attached, the phone microphone is disabled. So when it rings, I have to undock it from the cradle and stick it to my ear. I'd love to have just a microphone mounted near the visor. Anyone know where I can find one?
Wouldn't this do as a workaround?

Plug into the HTC headset connection on your adapter, then you have a micropohone. Then plug the 3.5 jack into the end (instead of the headphones)
The large block adapter that came in the box works for me and allows me to use my car speakers w/ aux input and there is no problems with the microphone.
I had this problem with my tilt with the Y splitter adapter, however the multi adapter that comes in the fuze box works for me perfectly.

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.
