I notice the box contains what is described as "4-Ring Earbuds with Microphone."
I see the earphone, but what does the "4-Ring Earbuds with Microphone" mean?
Please advise and thank you.

Its the number of connector rings on the pin. Stereo headsets have 3 rings but since the elocity one also includes the mic built into the headset, hence the 4th ring is for that purpose.

Thank you.
But what does the microphone do?
You could record memos using the Sound Recorder for example or use it for voice chat like fring, nimbuzz, yahoo etc.

Hi! Usually at work my MDA PRO is across me at the table, connected to charger and stereo system and playes music. At the moment of incoming call from cellular line to answer, I have to remove audio cord, because microphone not works. But at Skype call I can talk and hear caller in stereo system's speakers. I use regular mini stereo jack like in any headphones. Is it possible to activate mic for cellular line without removing audio cord using SW? Or only to upgrade original headset with fem jack? Thank for Your ideas!
i think it depends on your rom. mine used to do that on wm5 but now it's fine on wm6.

Thats terrible. I have this issue in my WM6 Wizard also. Point is that with Magician everything worked well - I had Mda Compact connected with my car stereo and there was no problem with normal conversation while it was still connected.

I running WM6 of cause, but all ROMs I used before has the same problem. Maybe it can be swiched somethere in registry? But I don't know where...
I just got these really cool new headphones. The sound quality is great. The volume is nice and loud and they dont look like Mickey Mouse ears (ala the HT820), The one very BIG issue I have with them is that when I am making a phone calls only the left ear works!
Is there some way to get this thing to play in both ears. This is such a great device but the fact that it only plays in one ear makes it unusable for me as I work in a very loud environment and need it to play in both ears!
Any Ideas?
I just got off of the phone with Motorola. Apparently when the device receives a mono sound like a phone call it only plays the sound in one ear.
What we need is a way to trick the device into thinking that it is getting a stereo sound when making voice calls. Is there a way to do this?
Same problem here (left earphone only telephone calls). I hope that one of the gurus of the forum will come up with a solution. Are you using any of the registry tweaks or patches, and if so which ones? Thanks a lot.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!
I am using a stereo bluetooth headset from Sony Ericsson, and It doesn't have your problem, when I click "turn hands-free on", both ear pieces works although it's mono sound.
But I have a question to ask, which media/MP3 player do you use to listen stereo bluetooth? I checked around Windows Media Player menu and it doesn't have a function like "switch to headset". I don't know how to link the audio to my bluetooth stereo headset for listening MP3.
Can anyone help me??
You need to enable Joint Stereo audio instead of Mono. I think you can do this in the most recent LVSW release (in the HTCtweakUI), and it can be done on any phone with a simple registry hack. Just search the forums and wiki for "joint stereo" and you should come up with something.
1. Navigate to "LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings" in the registry.
2. Use Joint Stereo to 0.
This change did not fix the problem. When I try and make a call its makes a LOUD beep in both ears then starts to play from just the left ear.
There has to be a way to make the headset think that it is getting stereo sound during voice calls.
RTFM the manual clearly states that during headset use the left ear is mono
that would because the right ear is the mic.

This makes sense. Even if the mic embedded in the right earphone is a separate unit, sound coming from an adjascent earphone would have sent some feed-back to the mike. If it is the situation then there is no hope for us I guess. In any case, instead of a microphone extending towards my mouth or dangling on a cord I much prefer this configuration. Especially when riding my motorcycle it works great in the helmet.
Hi all,
well Im also a user of the S9 und must say the music sound is fantastic, but the mono call audio is just not good enough... Did anyone come a cross a way to make that stereo too or is there a way to increase the volume ?
Otherwise: does anyone now a better in ear round the neck device that does stereo on calls ?
Generally I very much like the fit of the S9 and that its slim an not bulky round the neck

Hi chaps,
Do you have any suggestion for a wired compact headset to take phone calls?
I got a bt but its not always on and when I get a call, I dont want everybody around me to hear the conversation but when i pop in a 3.5mm stereo headphone, the microphone stops working
I cant find a combo in-ear headphone microphone thingi with one 3.5mm jack or a mini usb headset... so any suggestions?
What about the original one in the package?
You can leave your device in the pocket and accept or quit phonecalls.
You can set the volume of the incoming call to lowest with the slider left to the navi-stick, then other people do not hear your calls if you are 2-3 meters away.
I'd like to know a wired headset which shows the caller-ID in the microphone case, like the old sony walkman with the display on the wire, showing actual song and volume. The 3.5 jack will not support this, i know.
yeah you can just leave any 3.5mm headphones pluggged in, as long as they are plugged in before the phone comes in you can use the inbuit microphone.
The device still rings, so you just put the buds in your ears and answer.
This is what I do with my senseinhers.
I'd like a decent replacement corded set, don't like the sound quality from BT ones I've tried.
Had a USB one from gpsforless that you can plug your own headphones in just past the mic, but it wasn't well built and lasted about 3 weeks.
I bought this one for use in the car while plugged into my AUX in on the car stereo.

It works great with the Athena, there are a bunch of different types on ebay, just search for "Tytn Adapter" and you will find a bunch.
Pretty much any HTC Extended USB based adapter will work with the Athena.
Good Luck

I don't have such a problem with the original wired headset. The sound is excellent in both WM5 and WM6.
My wired headphones died pretty quickly, so now I use a pair of sennseisher buds, the microphone on the athena works when using standard earbuds, so although not hands free, it is at least a bit more private.
I like this from PPC Techs.
http://www.pocketpctechs.com/main.asp?unit=HTC_Advantage-895&area=accessories&item=PPCPADPT17
It gives you both 2.5mm and 3.5mm output so you can have your headphones in one plug and the headset in the other.
They have another adapter that goes from the USB for the same purpose but I don't have that one.

but maybe causing malfunction the microphone ?
thanks a lots, i will try to change my earbud,
is there hack or any way to make the audio from skype go through front speaker on vogue
Front speaker??Am I missing something,what front speaker?
i think he means the ear piece, i guess right now its going through the speaker phone
headset works
Not sure if this has been covered here or not but here it is on another forum on xda:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3153030&postcount=61
Start tivi, then run skype. All sound comes from the front speaker, not the back. Make sure to turn off tivi when you're done with skype, as ALL sounds will be rerouted to the front speaker, not just voice calls.

Not for me it doesn't it will only go through the speaker and I cannot find anyway to get it to go to my bluetooth headset. Is your headset bluetooth or is it wired?
I've been able to use my Jabra 8040 (mono earpiece, but A2DP-compliant) headset with Skype just fine . . . whenever my connection's decent enough anyway.
has anyone tried using your d.i. through the car speakers while talking?
On my SYNC equipped Ford it works fine once I downloaded the phonebook to the car...
I didn't bother and just use the built in speaker which is loud enough. I'll have to link it in to the stereo to see.
Okay so , Right now with my mt3g, I can hook it up to my car stereo via the mini-usb to 3.5mm adapter that it came with(it has a microphone on it),and I can make calls and hear people through my speakers. With the Inc. am I going to need another kind of adapter or will the speaker on the phone itself be good?
I found this out accdentally, but using a regular stereo cable from my DI to the car's aux input, I was able to hear calls through the speaker, and they could hear me via the phone's built in Mic. I was surprised the first time I heard it ring, but it worked very nice, no issues that they couldn't hear me and the sound quality was top notch. I really like how it will mute whatever else is playing in the meantime, like Slacker / Pandora, and continue once the call is over.
Hope this helps.
