Hello,
I bought a cradle from ebay that has a 3.5mm jack in addition to the micro usb connection. What I want to do is have my HD2 on its cradle and play music with tunein radio. I want the sound to come from the phone speaker though. Is that possible? I didn't find anything in tunein's or phone's settings.

I've been searching all over the internet but had no luck. I used it with old pc speakers till now but they are dead, so maybe I'll have to buy new ones.
It's been a while since I bought the cradle from ebay. I didn't find an ebay item but here it is from another site:

It also has a spare battery slot

Hmm , ive been googling around as well and market searching . no luck though . maybe i'll write a program to give us this feature . do you think there is a demand for it ?
I didn't find many people asking for this when I googled it.

Hi, i have a high quality mic that i use with my tab for various recordings, i really would like a simple toggle to force sound through speakers because when the mic is plugged in it uses headphone jack so thinks its a headset which makes playback of recorded items annoying .... pulling out and plugging in etc.
For those interested im using the eim-001 mic
So, any news on this app/widgets?

i was working on it but im stupid and screwed up my partitions on my computer HDD and had to start over from scratch . So i gotta get things set back up and get back at it . And im not sure if i can route the audio out to the speakers without turning off the 3.5 mm jack .. i'll have to dig deeper
be careful if you do buy a cradle with fitted 3.5mm plug and extra battery charge slot,bought one a while back.
the 3.5 mm plug is best removed from inside the charger,its useless and will bugger your phones motherboard.plug wobbles and moves a bit when plugged to phone and is very slightly wrong angle so that the two plugs are pushing sideways when phone plugged on.

Im not sure if it helps but the use of forcing sound through speaker has been used natively in htc fm tuner apps, with a headset plugged in as an antenna you can switch the sound to play through speakers, ive used this on htc legend as well as htc chacha

I have to rave on this stereo BT head set. I have been tying to find one that I like for quite some time really exercising the 30 day return policies. I wanted somthing that had the best of both worlds, regular mono ear piece and an atachable ear bud for the stereo and this one has deffinatly got it right. Best sound yet, best fit and good looking. I was very impresed I think this one is a keeper, oh one down fall the price but still under $120.
I have one since december. It is (was) great, but...
The concept is great. The size too. The sound is OK to good with both earplugs. Problems are:
- the connection of the second earplug with the main one (the one with the battery) is very, very sensitive. After two months of use, it became so loose that I lost contact and couldn't use the stereo anymore. They should have made it like a "screw" plug or even an small USB plug, or RCA plug. The way it is, two small metal plates on the setero plug that have to "touch" another two small metal plates in the main plug is too sensitive and unreliable for real usage.
- two weeks ago, the place where you connected the stereo plug and which now I was using to plug the ear hook broke...
- Now I'm using it just with the earbud... only six months.
Again, great concept, and bad implemantation. I even thought about buying another one and use it more gently, but I guess that's unrealistic. I believe I should be able to put the headphone in my pocket or bag without worring too much.
duplicate, sorry.

I found and bought mine (Voyager 855) after searching on the internet...plain white box, plenty of replacement pieces, for onlyl.... ready for this....
$46.00.
The only issue I ever had was making sure it was connected when I needed it, installing A2DPToggle solved that issue, and all is now right with the world.

PS: got mine at cellphoneshop.net/855.html and have had several coworkers order from them and all has worked out well. Unfortunately, they've been out of stock for about a month now

How did A2DPToggle solve what? Mine stays connected most of the time.
SouthSideSvz,
before I installed the toggle, for unknown reasons the connection would drop and I found reconnecting a pain....
A caveat, though, this was happening when I first got the phone and the earpiece....haven't had any problems since then. But I have heard that the BT can drain the battery, so with the toggle I can shut down BT on the phone side too.
How much of it is a crutch, who knows... but I like it!

I just bought this same headset, and have also experienced it dropping connection and being hard to get reconnected. I thought maybe I was doing something wrong. At this point, do you think the toggle app is actually helping the problem?
I'm wondering if it's not just the simple fact that you turn bluetooth off and on, so it sort of resets itself, rather than anything this program does differently. However, I'm more than willing to give it a try!
I have one since about 6 months ago. A friend of mine that works at Plantronics Mexico gave it to me as a present and to test it out.
Honestly it's been a great product, it even survived a trip to the washer machine and it's still ticking!
The only problem I see with this particular set is that the connector on the loop is really flimsy (I'm on my second loop) so you'd better be careful and never let it plugged in while you store it on your pants or backpack, it breaks really easy (maybe it's just because my unit it's a pre-production set) but be careful nevertheless.
The sound is really bassy and loud for such small speakers it has very nice sound range.
The battery lasts for a few days of moderate use on stereo and a few weeks moderate use on mono.
One thing I like about it (which many will find disturbing) is that it isolates all sound from the exterior, so be careful while driving or things like that.
I give a 8.5/10 to this product.
I liked mine as much as you did, but then it didn't last long enough as I explained above.
I do believe they can change the implementation and keep all its good qualities that are many (let's be honest, there is not one other set that is as discreet/small and less cumbersome than this). I would know how to do it, so they just have to be willing to do so, I guess.
Perhaps you can pass my ideas to your friend. I would share them for free...

I will pass the info to my friend ASAP. However as far as I know, the Bluetooth Division was recently moved to China...
I remember my pal told me beforehand that this particular model has some (undisclosed) issues (well he mentioned battery not lasting long enough). Same with a newer mono model called Diamond or something like that.
Hey, these are just user's ideas. I'm not talking about engineering stuff.
They seem to be simple things (though you never know) like:
- connection of the stereo earbud: the way it is, it is just two metal plates touching each other. Very easy for things to get loose and lose contact. Happened with me. They either should use a RCA type plug or USB type plug (most likely).
- Also the stereo connection is also used to help support the headset on our ears. Fact is the headset weight is put on...THE STEREO CONTACTS, helping them get loose. So, Ear hook should be separated from connection to relieve it from weight stress.
- they could position the stereo connection where presently is the charger, and perhaps (if possible) make the connection be dual function like the Kaiser, where you can use the mini-USB both to charge and to connect headphone.
My two cents. Seems feasible.
Got my voyager 855 and it's sounds muffled on one earbud (the one with buttons). Using Tilt with one of the hybrid Dutty roms. The one you piggyback to main unit sounds much louder and very clear. Tested also without putting them in ear and with eargels off, switched ears. Anything I can try before requesting a replacement?
Thanks!
what should i do i have the tmobile wing and speaker works everything works accept the earpiece thing if i put the phone on speaker i can hear the people but when i put it to work on the earpiece thing inside the phone i cant hear anything so how do i fix that and where can i buy another one THANX

I would try to find one on ebay that's broken and yank the ear piece from it.
ok thanx but can i use a headset or a bluetooth thiz way ti will make life a lil easier for me
If you have about 70 bucks, dr. cell phone will fix it. or if its still in warranty, call tmo
sigh no warranty this phone is about 1 yr old sigh....so where can i find this dr
google dr cell phone. they are slow though, just to warn you. took mine like 2 months because the part is rare
The earpiece speaker is really simple - two wires connecting to the plug - that sometimes can have a break in one of the wires. I had one recently that had the black wired severed completely because it got in the way of the screw hole. Might be worth taking apart and checking.

Yeah, you should still be able to use the bluetooth to get around it. I think I have the pdf document on how to take your phone apart at home. If you want I'll post that for you.

Hey xda how you doing? I think this is my first post/thread. Now ok I'm pretty sure that this hasn't been covered yet. I searched through the forums and even searched on google and found no results, to save the trouble of reposting twice. Now lets start, I used to own the T-Mobile Wing n it came with this adapter(http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=21968&cat=4322) it worked with the phone fine, found out about touch pro got it loved it ever since. Now one day the Wing's adapter short-circuited.. I even dipped in water to try to restore it (I know! Jus being curious). So I like to talk on the phone n charge sooo useful but it all ended. This is the headset I used n love because it has volume control
( http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=15719&cat=4323)
I jus recently bought this adapter the 5-1 (http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=29955&cat=4322)
from a ebay seller brand new. (http://cgi.ebay.com/Original-HTC-4-...86.m7QQ_trkparmsZalgo=LVI&itu=UCI&otn=3&ps=63)
NOW HERES THE PROBLEM - I get it open it, its wrapped in whateva n plastic stilll on it. I plug it up n it seems faulty because I barely can hear anything n have to twist the lil cable on it n hold it in a certain spot to get the proper volume n idk what the problem is? Can some help or has this occured for anyone else?

Cant understand why you cant plug the headset directly to the phone. I am still using my old headset from Hermes on the touch pro and it works just fine.
BTW on the adapter: are you connecting the headset to the correct socket. I mean check if you are connecting it to the charging socket instead of the Headset
Anyone else having issues with their headphone jack? I can't seem to keep a good connection. I have tried other headphones but it keeps constantly swapping between the headphones and speakerphone.

No this sounds like a wierd bug? im assuming you tried rebooting the phone ??
Yeah it seems like a short in the connection, like its just not sitting in there all the way.

this issue is something that should be covered under the manufacturer warranty which is > 30 days.
Had mine since 1/7, never had a problem with the jack. Take it back.
EDIT: FYI - I've replaced my iPod with my phone + Subsonic so my headphone jack sees a lot of use.
I would before its too late :/
Will do. Thanks!

Mine was having the same problem connecting to the car radio, but I replaced the cable going to the phone, and the problem went away.
I had the same issue with a pair of headphones, and it turned out that the Jack was bent. Other headphones work fine.
Lint.
If you're like me and it was working fine at first and slowly got worse and worse at holding a connection then it might be lint like it was for me. Shine a flashlight into the jack and try to see any obstruction. I used a bobby pin to fish it all out and it was fixed
Might want to pull the Battery out first. Also a better bet would be a Shop Vac . Use it to clean out the Charger port.
Also ... another culprit i've noticed is phone cases. Some 3.5mm plugs have wider shielding than others, and a larger cord can bump your case and not allow the plug to sit flush. Other than that and lint or some other obstruction, i havnet noticed any problems with any of my jacks on any devices.
I still have the Limited Sprint / HTC headset / headphones I bought when I got my TP2 .
Hi all. Didn't find too much searching on alternatives, so posting to see if anyone can help.
I have the dead audio 3.5 port. and since i got the tablet from Craigslist (stupid of me not to check at the time of the purchase) I cant warranty it.
Looks like it has a good contact when headphones are inserted but the tablet just doesn't react to it at all. Anyone can perhaps tell me if just changing the headphone jack and USB port ribbon will fix it?
Perhaps using micro usb headphones is a an option? I did read somewhere on this board that it might not work. Anyone with a solid knowledge?
I don't want to use Bluetooth, battery will not keep up with my video/audio listening routine.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Connector is quite stiff. Make sure your headphones are fully inserted - and maybe try a different headphone.

Yeah, it goes in all the way. i opened it and examined the connection when the headphones are plugged in. tried different headphones and even tried to connect headphones directly to the outlets on the board bypassing plugging in to the actual connector. nothing. not even static noise when shorting out the connectors on the board.
I would still try to push an RMA through Asus - even without a store receipt.
Sure nothing to lose, and you might find the one helpful CS guy.
