Hello,
I'm look for a way to change the cable - connects for a
NOKIA - Headset - HDB-5 for use to a XDA.
The headset was include the XDA it's not so good (for me) because they have two earphones they does'nt hold in MY ear.
The Nokia HDB-5 it's for me the best way, bat the configuration from the cable is different.
Who can help me?

These guys do some great adapters. I have several. Their service is excellent too.

Hi,
thanks for the nice tip.
But I want to connect the NOKIA Headset to the XDA, because the problem with the earspeaker. (Look my first description)
JR
I got fed up with all of the darn proprietary headsets, and made my own adapter. Used the:
Pinout description on this site
one of the 4 contact 2.5mm adaptors from the many Nokia headsets
that I was never happy with
and 2 1/8" Stereo female adapters from Radio Shack
Now I can take any Stereo headset with a mic without buying Nokia OR Tmobile devices.
Requires a little soldering skills, but is finally what I wanted
I haven't seen any post about the PDA2K...
I remember reading a lot of them about the XDAII and relative problems:
-getting GPS audio out of the car speakers
_...
I also remeber that the best solution seemed to be a car holder with build in speaker... would it work with the 2K as well (without forcing the Pins...)
As far you now is iMate going to come out with an official creadle?
Thanks,
Chris
i am not bothering to wait for the cradle... if the cradle for the xda ii was any thing to go by it will take ages and will be rubbish.
i took things into my own hands and built my own drop in charger for the xda iis.
i was going to post some pictures but i cant from my xda iis as the picture upload is not pocket pc compliant... come on guys - sort out the upload...
Don't wait.....
I agree....when i bought the cradle for the XDA2 i was really amazed to see how stupid i was to pay so much for so litle. The worst carkit i've ever seen.....
Now that i have my new Qtek9090 i didn't bother to wait. I just bought an Arkon powered cradle and it is just fine. I'm waiting for the audio adapter for the 9090 but i tried it with my old qtek2020 and i was amazed to hear Tomtom navigational instructions....mp3...click click.....and so on....
I'm now expecting the new audio adapter (they finished production today and began shipping) and i tell you it will do just fine.
Which Audio adapter?
Could you please be more specific regarding the audio adapter?
Thanks,
Chris
Arkon Cradle
iap sure...
The Arkon cradle (http://www.arkon.com/bluetoothgps.html) model CM745 is designed specifically for the Qtek 2020 and uses 2 connections to the PDA. The cradle has 2 USB connectors at the bottom, one to connecto to the 21pin connector to charge the PDA and another one for any accessory USB powered you may have. On the top of the cradle there is an audio line in wich connects to your PDAs headset jack to output the audio through the cradles internal speaker. The audio adapter is nothing less than a converter from the 3,5" cradle jack to the 2,5" PDA jack wich carries the sound to the cradle but doesn't deactivate the internal mic on the PDA.
Despite the simple concept design, i tried it with the Qtek 2020 and it works really well.
My waiting is due to the fact, i bought the Arkon cradle specific for the Qtek2020 because they told me it would fit the 9090 but they were preparing the new audio connector.
Note: You may have read somewhere posts about the 21pin connector beeing different from XDA2 to XDA3 but in fact (at least my Qtek9090) uses "apparently" the same conector. I don't need to force anything as some of the guys do...
How do you deal with the Arkon RF/speaker interference?
I read here that it was unacceptable...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13654&start=0
how do you deal with it?
Saw another thread and started Googling. The Arkon "designed" for the Blue Angel is the "Arkon CM750 MDA III 3 PDA mount with speaker and gps charger".
Don't know about the quality but for £34.99 and free delivery to the UK it's got to be worth a shot. Look here http://www.morpethmobiles.co.uk/proddetail.asp?prod=X6AKMDA&cat=114

Finally there is a decent DSP carkit released by Carcomm (www.carcomm.nl) . I already have it here it only has to be build in in my car. It also comes with a mutebox that uses the left car stereo speaker to hear the sounds of callers and Tomtom. The partnumber CHFS-16. When it is build in i will make some pics.
I'd like to connect the headset that came with my Wizard to my laptop so I can listen to streaming audio. Beats carrying two sets of headphones around with me. I cannot find such an adapter.
Does anyone know of a source for a four-conductor 2.5mm jack (female)? If I had one, I could make my own adapter.
You can listen to streaming audio on your Wizard. Works fine via wifi on mine, but if you're connecting to a wired network you'll need the adapter.
Anyway, you may not need a 4-conductor female jack to adapt to your notebook. The adapters I'm using to go from the phone to some Shure earbuds with a conventional 3.5mm 3-conductor jack is a 3-conductor male jack going into the Wizard's 4-conductor female. It works fine, but I'm not sure why. The crux is that you may be able to use a 3-conductor male to fit into your 2.5mm 4-conductor earbuds. Keep in mind I was moving in the opposite direction, adapting 3.5mm headphones to the 2.5mm Wizard jack.
Not all work, however, as I went to Radio Shack and tried some 3.5-to-2.5mm adapters and they didn't work (one channel only). Thus, since you may not find any adapters that specify they'll work with a Wizard, you may need to use the trial-and-error technique. The problem is that there are several standards for the 4-conductor jacks, and what works with one may not work with another. I bought adapters that specified they worked with this phone. You might do an Ebay search on the seller "Manyui" and email him about what you're trying to do. He sells all types of adapters on Ebay.

I use the adapter with the mic in my 01 MDX. Have it going to an old Sony Walkman Cassette adapter. It works awesome for Audio through the stereo as well as hands free. No feed back and people have no issues hearing me. Can turn the audio up on the stere as loud as i can stand it.
Not the solution that we're looking for
Hey anothersmith,
I want to use the Wizard headset on the laptop, not the other way round as its easier to have the connector conected to the laptop than carry it around with the headset. Moreover, the headset that came with the Wizard is cool so I want to keep using it!
Thanks for the help!
China rocks
Hi,
Im sorry, but paying £3.04 for a plug is just a little to much for me.
You might want to consider this: http://cgi.ebay.com/Oasis-music-ada...7686197QQihZ016QQcategoryZ15040QQcmdZViewItem
Oasis music adaptor, www.shope2.com.
Im using one of this on my car, i plug this on my cingular 8125, and i have a Jack 3.5mm stereo, in which i plug my cassette adaptor and listen music in my stereo.
It also has a button for picking up calls when they arrive, and a mic built in which works really fine.
Or if you really want the plug, cut the cable, use a multimeter and you are all set.
I wonder why no one seems to get the point!
Thanks China Rocks, but you too are getting it wrong! I DO NOT want to use my xda to play music on my stereo. I want to connect my xda earphones (that have a 2.5 mm male jack) to the headphone + mic sockets of my laptop so that I can use it to listen to music or talk on the laptop.
xda earphone (headset/headphone) 2.5 mm male jack ---> Laptop audio + mic out connector 3.5 mm female jack
Will somebody get the point!
Need 2.5mm 4 conductor female socket
Reading this thread is painful. I too am looking for a 4 conductor 2.5mm female socket so that I can make an adapter to plug some Shure I4C-T's into the headphone and microphone 3.5mm sockets on my laptop. The source in the UK charges a lot of shipping to the US. Anyone know of a US supplier of 2.5mm female sockets?
Radioshack USA finally has it!
http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2603246
Wrong again!
Hi xoom!
That's not what we are looking for! What your adaptor does is connect a stereo headphone with a 3.5 mm male jack to my xda that has a 2.5 mm female jack.
What I am looking for is an adaptor that will connect my "xda headset with mic" (forget about the xda, it's not in the equation here) that has a "2.5 mm female jack" to my "laptop" that has a "3.5 mm female jack" (Female to Female adaptor).
Illustrating this fact:
"XDA HEADSET with MIC" (Female 2.5 mm jack) <--> "LAPTOP AUDIO & MIC OUT" (Female 3.5 mm jacks)
Thanks for your attention!
This?

I used one of those Rat Shack adapters with my wizard and had no problems at all. If you're only getting one channel then it sounds like it is either not far enough in or too far in (i'm guessing the former though). That or you didn't purchase the correct adapter. The only time I had a problem with only getting one channel was when I purchased a mono adapter by mistake. I've also got some other adapters that I have purchased locally for < $5 that work fine. They're not especially pretty but I haven't had problems with any of them. I would be more than happy to purchase one for somebody and send it to them for the price of the adapter and shipping. I can even ship it overnight for around $6.
I will try to make it to the same supplier and see if they don't have the 2.5mm jack or adapter that you're looking for. I'm thinking that they do, though.
Gotcha!
Hey Poiygon,
Thats the thing! Thanks!
Cheers!
2.5mm 4 pole parts
FYI I found 2.5mm 4pole connectors and jacks at "mouser.com". see p/n's 171-7425 or 161-6425-EX which should get you to the area of related parts. I'm using thes for my Siemens SX66 to a motorcycle head set and mic. Hope this helps anyone.

Has any crufted an adapter that allows the use of normal 2.5mm cell-phone headsets to work with a TyTN. I like the fidelity of my awesome Plantronics headset, and I want to get it to work with the TyTN. Any luck?
Thanks,

Have you tried buying one from this site.

I just received mine last week and it works great, MUCH better than the stock headset.
Alan.
Edit: "Sorry mis-read the topic, this is to a std 3.5mm headset jack."

Not a problem, but thanks for the referral and review anyway. I will probably go ahead and order one of those, too, but really, I just want a wired headset.
Thanks,

No... I've been searching high and low. I've got a pair of Shure headphones that are amazing and have the 2.5mm 3-pole connector that works perfectly with my HTC Magician... I'd love an adaptor to just run them with my Tytn, but so far no luck.
Currently, I'm using a 3.5 adaptor and then another adaptor to the ExtUSB connector, so I've got no mic capability and two dodgy connectors between my 100 GBP headphones and my phone!!!
I'm going to take my Shures to an electronics guy and have him swap the connector eventually.

Nope, it wont work.
this is where our stores get their accy's from, you can get allot of good stuff here.
http://superiorcommunications.com/products/products.aspx
if you have a bussiness/Tax/reseller liscense (mispelled) then you can buy from here.
With the risk of a "me too" post, a 2.5mm converter would be worth money to me. I have yet to find one anywhere and am about to buy an extra headset and start "experimenting" and who know where that will lead. Probably to a new phone.
I emailed HTC America and got this reply...
Hello Michael and thank you for contacting HTC America. Unfortunately we do not make any accessories other than what is included with the device. There are some 3rd party vendors that do offer this accessory however; they are not affiliated with HTC. Please see the following link for one of them:
http://www.cell-phone-accessories.com/emu-headset-adapter.html.
Thanks,
HTC Support
I have one on order. I'll let you know if it works.
Michael
Hope?
Hi Michael --
Please let us know if this does work. This would be a great fall-back adaptor to use if/when my BT headset runs out of juice.
Thanks,
-Humbert
I just finished my request to HTC support. These devices do NOT work. No audio what so ever. I tried regular audio as well as the audio of a call. Nothing-nada. The adapter is stamped as "Motorola" on the back. Apparently the HTC version of the USB plug is not the standard "EMU" version that everyone else is using.
Michael
Ugh, why didn't they just add a standard 3.5mm headphone jack? That would have made everyone's lives a lot easier.
I just bought the Motorola adapter, ended up wasting $5 (not a lot, I know, but hey, it's money).
Maybe I should try for a refund...
If anyone knows any adapters that work with the Hermes/TyTN, I would love to know.
Well, I finally found an option that will work for me. My motorcycle has a 2.5mm plug for hooking a cell phone into the intercom system (it's a gold wing) It also has a 3.5mm plug for an aux device to the stereo. I got the moto hf820 from amazon for around $45. It is a bluetooth hands free device, but it also has a 2.5mm plug on it. So, the phone section of my 8525 now connects to the bluetooth 820 into the intercom through it's 2.5mm plug. For the rest of the audio, I am using one of the extusb to 3.5mm adapters. That way I'll be able to get my gps directions over the stereo. That is a long way around to do it, but the 820 seems to work out pretty well as a 2.5mm adapter.

Holy ****, what a rube goldberg device!!!! But, I like your ingenuity. I ride myself (BMW GS) and so I just may try to cobble together something similar to yours...
However, most people want the wired headset so that they don't have to rely upon bluetooth. I want a fall-back headset.
To be honest, I found the perfect BT headset, and so I'm not sure if I need a wired connection anymore. I bought a jawbone and have been using it for 2 months. I like it so much, I bought a *second* one for when I run down the batteries on the first one, I can just use that one. Sure, it costs me $120 a pop, but after using 6 different bluetooth headsets over the last few years, this is the first one where people can't tell that I'm on a headset. Yes, it's that good.

That it is! I have the Kennedy CellSet (www.cellset.com) on my goldwing that integrates the cell phone as if it is a 3rd party on the intercom. Makes it kind of nice because either me or my wife can take a call while we are riding if needed. Anyway, I had the adapter for a 2.5mm plug and they don't make an adapter for the extusb of the HTC so hey, this works. Not only that, the GPS audio and the phone audio are on two different channels on the bike now. Worked out pretty good.
Hi there!
I'm interested in that problem too. So is there an adapter what is working, and tested yet?
If not, maybe we should try to cut down one ExtUSB to 3,5mm adapter and cut down the 2,5 mm side of the headset, and then maybe it can be built together, and we have a headset, with ExtUSB port.
Is it a possible way? Maybe any alternatives? God I'll be really happy if we can do something to do with this
Could always try this

2.5 and 3.5 fix for USB
I too have an expensive Shure headset with a 2.5 connector that I used on my Cingular 8125. I just moved to a Cingular 8525 e/w the ExtUSB connector.
I have been working with the tech support guys at Shure and we have sort of a fix. My Shure headset has a Mic so it needs a 4 conductor cable and the corresponding 4 wire jacks to carry voice to the handset. BIG issue. None of the current connectors (Ext USB to 2.5 or 3.5) carry the 4th wire! They will carry audio out over the 3 wires. . . stupid I guess.
So Mobile Planet and others now have a TyTN (Titan) Cingular 8525 cable adapter that is made by ORA and has its own mic, and answer/hangup control and ends in a 3.5 jack for a headset (3 wire). This means that if you have a 2.5 jack on your headset you need another adapter to reduce the 3.5 to a 2.5 (+/- $10.00 US).
Then you use the mic in the adapter. This is a real mickey mouse rig but it works and you do not have to buy another very expensive headset. You just cannot use the mic in your expensive headset! The cable is also a little long since the adapter's cable is about 20".
If you are thinking of buying a good wired headset then use the ORA adapter (Shure is about to come out with one also) and a standard Shure 3.5 headset like the SE series ($150+) which has a shorter cable. The two work nicely together. It is what I am using now. see link below:
(http://www.shure.com/PersonalAudio/Products/Earphones/SEModels/index.htm)
but they really really work well . . . and are worth the $$s
However, does anyone know if the HTC P3350 W100 Wired Remote Control(http://www.mobileplanet.com/p.aspx?i=145859) will work on an Cingular 8525?

I'm interested in something like this. It says it works with three-connector 2.5mm jacks. Does this mean stereo headphones or mono headphones+mic? I want to have phone conversations so hopefully mono+mic.

I don't have earphones for my G1, since i bought my phone on ebay and it was used and didn't come with one.
I have never used earphones with my G1, i am planning to buy one now. I wasn't able to get one on ebay India and the one's that i find on ebay US are expensive for me. Can you guys suggest me any other brand of earphones that would work with my HTC Dream?
I could check my local market to find if they are available here.
Thanks

HTC G1 Headphone alternative +Charging ?
I was looking for an adapter that will allow me to charge while using the 3.5mm TRS head phones jack. I ordered this from one of these from ebay www(dot)wirelessground.com/sc5310(dot)html But I can't get it to work. After getting it I noticed that some sites do not list it as compatible with the G1 and some do. I have not noticed any other adapter that allows charging at the same time.

Hi,
do you know if Headsets are supported? Can I use the remote function of my Evo 3D headset?
Thanks,
Hardy
All you need is a mini-usb 11 pin to 3.5mm cable or adaptor; accordingly, I do believe that the evo3d headset would work--assuming that it is a standard 3.5mm jack with nothing extra going on. Although, I am not 100% sure on the compatibility between the two as I do not own one; however, if the headset works in other standard 3.5mm jacks, it should work with any of the kits. As always, YMMV.
These adaptors can be found on amazon for as little as $0.01 + shipping.
