3.5mm Stereo Headphone Adaptor mode.. all by me

I know this isn't that big.. but it's better than paying 14 $ for PPC Techs for the adapter.. it barely costs 1$
http://www.expansys-usa.com/product.asp?code=113091
you will need a cable containing 3 mini lines inside...
you'll also need a 3.5mm and 2.5 mm plugs...
with basic iron soldering you can get this to work... and I have great sound quality
check out the pics
and the resuts are :
Hope this will help
PS: sorry for the low quality of the photos, but these were taken with my JAM..
cheers

and these some new high quality photos

NIce :lol: :lol:

good job...

Will this be compatible with the Xda mini and/or xda IIi ?

Why border? Many *local* electronic shop sell it for about US$3-4.
I got mine at RadioShack (http://www.radioshack.com/product.a..._name=CTLG_007_002_001_001&product_id=274-397)

well.. I searched local electronic shops first.. but i found nothing.. that's why i thought about making it...
if i found this mod all ready made for 3-4 $.. I would certainly buy it instead of waisting my time... But 14 $ !!! for such a tiny thing.. !! NO SIR.. I'm willing to waist some of my time doing this...
anyway I had fun.. .. that is what counts
cheers :wink:

Nice job
But i think its a not so good alternative to my bought adapter.
In german is an shop named Media Markt they are selling a
cournerd plug for 5€.
I think a cournerd 2.5mm plug is better than yours to wear the MDA in
the bag.

But i think its a not so good alternative to my bought adapter

dude... all i said is how to make such an adapter.. I did not say it would be better or worse, since I have not used the pre-made one be4...
I think a cornered 2.5mm plug is better than yours to wear the MDA in
the bag.

as for the cornered 2.5 adapter...I agree. it would be better to use it instead of mine... however, I searched for an adapter like the one you mentioned.. but I found nothing, except for a very small white 2.5 mm adapter.. and I couldn't use it!
BTW.. you should have seen the ( prototype ) adapter I made be4 this one... it was a JUNK, but it worked ... I was just trying to see if I'll get a mono sound or stereo... since somebody ( here or in HoFo ) said that 3.5 adapter will give mono sound only :!:
anyway.. I got stereo, that's why I made a new one...

thanks a lot man

if only you are in the Philippines, I can sell you a good quality converter cable just like what you made and the 2.5mm plus is a L-type that won't extend out .
it cost merely 300pesos, in case anyone in the Philippines need one, just pm me, I am very happy with it and I even use my mini to play mp3 on my car stereo using it

I could not find anyone locally who supplies stereo converters, so I made my own after seeing this thread! Works great!
At least i can now use my own headphones!

Take look I did. Mic + Volume Control + 2.5 to 3.5 + Hangup Button.

3.5mm to miniusb

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.
You want something like this .

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!

+1...been using with my Tilt for awhile now without problem

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.

HTC Stereo Handsfree with Volume Control

Hey guys, I got a product for review that I thought was really cool.. not only is it a 3.5mm adapter but it turns any headset into a handsfree kit as well. and it's cheap, from my time with it I've found it seems to be good quality and should last quite a while..
While the title is 'HTC', it's not an HTC branded product.. just can be used for them..

Snippet:
"The HTC Stereo Handsfree with Volume Control is from our friends at USBFever and it's really three things in one, a mini-USB to 3.5mm jack adapter, volume control and a microphone. This little gadget essentially lets you turn any headphones or earbuds you have into a handsfree setup. There are many choices out there for handsfree sets but really most have sub-par headphones included with them, and it's usually only one earpiece, with this gadget from USBFever you get to use your own headset. Being able to use any headset is very nice indeed, also you can get this for about $15.00 shipped to you from USBFever, so not only is it very useful but very inexpensive and well worth it..."
Full review HERE
Sorry if someone thinks this is spam or whatever, but I get quite a few things for review for my AT&T Tilt and there are a few that really stand out as being useful and this is one of them that I thought I could share

That looks pretty interesting. I was looking into buying the Seidio version, which has one of those spring-wound cords, making cable management easier. That being said, I like the button layout and clip mechanism on this one more... I think these are much better than the regular USB to miniplug adapters though, as it means you can essentially make your own earphones/buds a 'headset' thanks to the built in mic. In-line volume control is also a godsend...

I had one of those in the box, arent they standard ?

No, that's ok.. just curious.. but it's just like the TytnII all kinds of stuff comes with it, but nothing comes with the Tilt, even though it's basically the same phone
don't know why ATT decided no to include the same things, it's the same price
well I guess I do know why, money..

I thought the Tilt came out to be cheaper, unless service charges add up to the same price eventually...
The only thing I don't like about both the Seidio and this one is that because the USB connector end is L shaped the stylus becomes harder to remove and insert while this is in use. The straight ones, on the other hand, have a tendency to dislodge and/or break eventually. I think I'm going to go with the Seidio one though, even though it costs around 3 times the price, mainly because of the spring loaded cable control mechanism.

The stylus clears the jack fine for me, the end is flexible and just bends out of the way.. as for retractable, I personally don't like those retractable cables that much especially for something like this.
I've got the retractable Boxwave mini-sync cables and those are fine for that use but I don't care for them when used like this, it's too easy for you to pull on it accidentally and it to spring back in

That makes absolute sense... now you've got me reconsidering what to purchase... any chance of finding one of these on Amazon? I need international shipping to be specific, as I live in Turkey.
While obviously due to the direct connection the volume on these is bound to be better than a bluetooth headset (which is what I currently use and also why I want a wired headset), does the in-line volume control degrade the volume or quality even at its highest setting? I ask because I used to own a headset that I used on my PC with an in-line volume dial and even at maximum volume, I could tell the difference between one with in-line volume control and a headset without one...

USBFever sent it to me for review, and they run all items with $2.99 shipping worldwide, so I assume that means $2.99 to Turkey as well
so it's $12.99 + $2.99 Shipping = $15.98
http://www.usbfever.com
direct link: http://www.usbfever.com/index_eproduct_view.php?products_id=301
as for volume, I personally don't crank it to the max but I hadn't noticed any distortion, I used it for about 6 hours yesterday actually while working outside my house and did have it up loud to help drown up noise, but not to the max setting... as for the two separate volumes you need to adjust each one independently of the other, like I would set the inline to max and then adjust my phone itself to comfortable max volume, and then I can lower and raise the volume in line without problems

Out of curiosity, what else have you got that could be of use to Kaiser users out there?

What do I have? or what have I reviewed? I don't sell anything.. I review many types of products and since I got the Tilt/Kaiser I got a bit of stuff for that for review as well..
The stuff I got was from Boxwave, USBFever and Krusell so far for review, with more hopefully on the way
The ones I've posted so far can be found on my site HERE under 'Mobile Related Products' if you're interested. The top eight are the ones related to the Kaiser
I've got a few more yet to post as well, got the Krusell Orbit with Multidapt for car, another cool little mini-usb adapter, it's got three connections on it, and I've got one of the Tri-Force style styli from Krusell

Youve got some great reviews, mods and whatnot up there on your site, I'll have to spend a weekend going through it , and nice links as well. Congrats on a thoroughly well-done job there...

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

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.

[FIX][ROOT] G3 audio port problems explained

EDIT: FIX!
It seems someone on Reddit (@Karolis-hex") has figured out a simple software fix for this. Thanks to @gok90 for sharing the reddit post and @codified for re-writing the fix below:
On your rooted phone, make a backup of the file
system\usr\keylayout\generic.kl
Then edit it to comment out the line beginning "key 226" - i.e. change
Code:
key 226 HEADSETHOOK
to
Code:
#key 226 HEADSETHOOK
Restart your phone
You may lose some headset functionality - the volume controls and mic on the LG Quadbeats still work, but the middle button doesn't seem to do anything any more.
This is my theory as to why the port is so messed up. Basicly the G3 will happily accept any 3.5mm jack that has 3 channels. If you use a cable with 2 channels (Most aux cables and earphones without a mic or buttons) the phone will not play along. Even if the 2 channel jack works originaly, it will change songs, pause music etc as the jack is moved, or it simply wont work at all. If you have this problem and you need aux offten as I do, get a 3 channel extension lead (the blue cable below) it will make sure that 3 channels enter the G3's port, even if you are using a 2 channel jack.
Ps: Im not sure if you guys figured this or not before now, i'm just sharing a tip :good:

That's what im saying above, it aint everyone, but ive experienced it and seen allot of threads about it. Do your cables have 2 or 3 channels? If 3, then thats why you've had no problems. Eg, the earphones that come in the box work perfectly.

That's what im saying above, it aint everyone, but ive experienced it and seen allot of threads about it. Do your cables have 2 or 3 channels? If 3, then thats why you've had no problems. Eg, the earphones that come in the box work perfectly.

Hmm you must've got a lucky one haha! Some 2 channels seem to work, but most earphones ive purchased recently (2 channel) haven't worked.

This does explain why when I listen to music with my cars aux and I move the phone the music paused :/

Exactly what happens to me when I use any 2 channel jack.

Glad this doesn't happen to me. My earbuds are 2 channel.
@sonspot The G3 does come with earbuds.

Time to try a 3 channel cable then. This is really frustrating. :/

Thanks!!! I was about to buy a new pair of headphones because I was having that behavior and I thought that they were broken.

No prob. It was pissing me off. I bought new earphones in Canada when I was there...they kept pausing and skipping songs, broke em, got new ones at home..the same happened xD SO I finally bought some JVC Gummy + ones and they work perfect. They also come with that extension cable in the photo.

Lucky! and some of the US variants don't include earbuds I don't think.

I wonder if it's because my earbuds are like £250 earbuds... (thank you credit card points!).
Wasn't aware about some US variants not having earbuds... That's unfortunate, but I always prefer using better quality ones over the stock ones.

So basically a 3.5mm male to 3.5mm male audio cable is 3 channel if it includes a
Inline volume controller
or
Inline Noise Filter (aka ground loop)
Are there any other ones?

I've tested it with earbuds and two types of full-sized headphones without any problems. All with 2-Channels.
My Device is the D855

No. Those are 2 channel. They have a left, a right, and a common contact. Hence the three sections or rings. Three channels would have a fourth ring/section for the mic and/or track and volume controls. Hope this helps.

Yup. The G3's port must be designed to only work properly with jacks with 3 rings/channels.

Since I installed 10j on my d855 I haven't had the audio issues anymore. It flawlessly detects my 2 channel aux cable and it no longer
"pops" when changing tracks.
Just thought I would add my 2 cents.
