hello everyone!
i was wondering, if the blue angel is outputting a real stereo signal via the mini jack or if it is just a mono signal on both headphone spekaers.... i once read something like this, cant remember where, cant say if its true...
does anyone know?
btw: whats that strange connection around the minijack for?
thx in advance!

BA has stereo sound output for sure! I have made my own 2.5 jack to 3.5 jack wire, so then I connect headphones from player I can hear for sure that sound is stereo Don't try to create This wire by your own, better ask me, and I'll post photos how it could be done. Anyone is interested in creating wire?
PS: You can modify 2 ears-headset, from mono to stereo by shortcutting the diode (black* little square inside headset plastic box). Disadvantage: headset can't be used for calling anymore.
hi fatalistic!
thx for your answer! and yes, i would be very interessted in creating a such a wire... it would be graet, if you could post pictures and explanations on that topic!
thx again,

hi guys!
i just received an answer of the HTC Technical Support to my quetion regarding real stereo via mini jack.... unfortuneatly, they pointed out, that the HTC Blue Angel DOES NOT output a real stereo signal, just mono on both channels....
what a pitty!
Well, with the 2.5 to 3.5 adapter I'm now using it most definitely does have stereo. On my hypnotherapy tape Paul Mckenna verbally identifies the left and the right ear, so I used that to check, and I don't think I'm tripping.
Not that I wish to contradict 'The Guy'.
adaptors are on ebay for 2.5mm to 3.5mm for about £1.50
Sennheiser Mm10
i bought an adapter from hama (2,5mm to 3,5mm), but it is still not working... i only get a mono signal in one earplug... sucks big time!!
anyone knows, if the SENNHEISER MM10 would work with the MDA 3 ???

Srz, dude.... but this is bull****, I certainly get stereo sound with the earplugs that came with my O2 XDA IIs.
The sound is stereo for sure. I cannot recall any Pocket PC without stereo sound output. At Tech support they don't know what they are talking about.
Try looking for old Motorola earphones (i.e. for MPx200) it has the same connector scheme. The usual 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm adaptor won't work, use the Motorolas one. BTW: Scheme is in wiki's general section.

Hi, I saw your post and i`m very interested in changing 2.5 to 3.5 stereo jack.
i use one kinda like this one

the one i'm using is not made by gamin but nor is it spc for htc devices
just any old 2.5mm to 3.5mm converter
do u want to fix ur converter
hi guys
i hv spv m2000 giving 100% stereo sound. Recently i bought a 2.5 to 3.5 converter from ebay which was not compatiable with BA so i open it fix it. now its working perfectly.SO if ny bdy want to fix his converter tell me.
there are other way....
i have modified the original earphone (cutting and soldering) however, if you don't want those nasty work, just simply buy the original motorola e398 rokr earphone, good quality sound..
@ krishan2207 & evoluzionne:
thx for your answers!
do you think, you could describe how you fixed/modyfied your adapter/earphone?
maybe you have pictures? or some kind of tutorial?
this would help lots of people, i guess.....
@ evoluzionne:
are you refering to THIS headset? do you know, if the SEND/END button is working?
thx again!
krz
yes... (the send and receive button works) that's one.. good quality sound both bass and treble, vocal clarity, however it doesnt have volume dial, you should set the volume from your music player applications..
about the modifying of the headset you could just find it in the link below..
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=handsfreethatdoesntsoundlikecrap
of you just dont sure to do this just simply buy the motorola's e398 handsfree.. for its sound quality..
regards
adri
so? anyone try the motorola's?
have u guys try it? it is good and working isn'it? later, i'll show my modified handsfree, for some people it looks sucks but working perfectly....

Does anyone know if one can use any 2.5mm earplug handsfree with the XDA Mini S? The one supplied is difficult to carry lots of wires, would like to have a monaural one. Has anyone tried any? Kindly let me know. Thanks.
I have been looking for the same earphone since i bought the item on JAN06, till now I still cant find a compatible one.
That will be helpful if anyone know which is the best headphone with microphone.Not the Bluetooth one!
Thanks!
ebay Adapter eventually works
Hi there,
I was also looking for a good headset fromt he beginning on, the issue might be solved if I can install the A2DP software (will try later), but a nice wired headset would still be nice.
My favorite would be the ones SonyEricsson is shipping with the music phones.
I actually tested a 2.5mm adapter with cord and speakerpice (with clip) plus adapter for 3,5mm, which would be perfect. One was for Nokia, one for Motorola - both are NOT compatible with the HTCs!
Lately I saw a shop selling the same adapter specifically for HTC devices, so the problem might be solved.
Also I saw 2 wired 2,5mm stereo headsets from Jabra on the US website, they are for sale there but NOT in Europe. If these would work, they would for sure be of very good quality.
Anyone tested these?
Found one
I found one listed on Ebay under HTC Wizard. Its item number 9716253639, seller's name is 5starcommunication. Looks quite cool and they will mail it world wide. Will take sometime before it reaches India. But if anyone in the US orders and tries do let us know. Thanks.

I use it for headphones only (senheiser PX200 which sound great with the Wizard!), so not sure if they have mic connected or not. Sorry.
Get the adapter at radioshack.. there r tons n tons of them for $3.. i got one n it works like charm..
with/out mic
I wonder if the ones from Radioshack have a mic in the wire?
I have an adapter 2,5 to 3,5mm with GREAT sound quality, however without microphone in the adapter, thus I always need to unplug the adapter and take off the headphones to answer a call - sucks!
As mentioned so far i Only saw one adapter on ebay WITH a microphone in the adapter piece (and clip on the back) - but do not know how it performs...

Handsfree and Headphone Adapter
Still no earpiece...
Sigh... still no proper in ear headset (monaural) in sight... :?
2.5 mm to 3.5 mm adapters at Radio Shack
Beware of the Radio Shack adapters. They stick out and are easy to catch on a doorway as you walk through it. I did so a few weeks ago and the headphone jack no longer worked. The adapter male end bent back and damaged the phone female socket. The result was very quiet sound from the headphone jack, totally unusable for phone or music.
I sent the phone back to T-Mobile and they very kindly sent me a replacement. I bought a new Radio Shack 2.5mm male to 3.5 mm female adapter and the same day proceeded to catch it on another doorway, bending back the male plug, and damaging the phone female headphone jack. No sound again from the headphone jack. I will stay away from the headphone adapters from now on.
Phone speaker not working after using headphones - No sound
I had a similar problem (not the same). After using a 2.5 to 3.5 mm adapter my phone speakers and the mic didn't work anymore. I was about to send the device in, when I read about a solution (I think it was in XDA-Dev somewhere).
You'll have to gently move the headphone jack forward and back, twisting it a litte or even better use some compressed air blowing into the jack. It works best, if you to take out the battery and blow from the back.
My speakers work again, but the same thing happens now and then. It seems there is some switch inside the headphone/mic jack, which doesn't go back. That only happens when I use the adapter.
I realize that this is an old thread, but here is an idea for you. As far as I know, pretty much any 2.5mm headset should work. I don't use it for my phone personally, but I recently purchased a Plantronics Gamecon X20 headset for my Xbox 360 after my old one broke. Since it has a plain 2.5mm jack on the end, I thought I would plug it into my phone to see how well it worked. The answer, pretty well apparently. My wife said that it was really clear and, likewise, she sounded really clear on my end. It's going to be a little larger than the ones that have the mic hanging down inline with the wire, but on the other hand, since it's a boom mic the sound quality should be superior with less noise. I haven't tried it for listening to music so I can't vouch for the quality there, but since you are wanting a monaural headset I rather doubt that is relevant anyways. The headset was only $20 at GameStop and they had a used one for $10.

In your case, I would say that sounds like a bad adapter. I routinely use one in mine and don't have that problem. It's one of those nasty stick adapters though, so you have to be careful with them. I've seen some cable type adapters for not too much so you might look into one of those instead.
Found info which might help
HERE IS AN/THE ANSWER.
My WIZA200 and Sony P900 phone the mic headsets are compatable, even the answer button works. If you cant find what your looking for under the flavour WIZa or HTC etc... just look for what you need as a P900 type and you will be sorted.
I just checked the pinouts and this answers the very much asked question... what are the pinouts.... here they are....
http://pinouts.ru/CellularPhones-P-W/sonyericssson_headset_pinout.shtml
FOR WIZA AND SONY P900 >>>> 2.5mm 4 pole jack: PIN1 LEFT+, PIN2 RIGHT+, PIN3 MIC+, SHIELD(PIN4) GROUND. I just checked with multimeter and to get call answer pin3 mic and shield must short to signal the press of the answer button.
---
Just for reference Nokia 2.5mm 4pole jack is very odd... this is how they do it.
http://pinouts.ru/CellularPhones-Nokia/nokia_headset_pinout.shtml
on 4pole 2.5mm: 1=speaker+(positive) ### 2=mic+ ### 3=speaker -(negative) ### pin4 = mic - ###short mic+ and mic - to answer call
on 3pole 2.5mm: 1=speaker+(positive) 2=mic+ 3=shield(ground-negative) ### to answer call short speaker and shield.
See how they change their minds... first on 4 pole jacks answer call was on mic side short, then it goes on 3 pole jacks to short the speaker and ground to answer call... can these guys not make up their minds. Grrrr... totally baffling logic in this design, escept they can keep you buying specialised gear for each phone
Glad to see Sony and HTC used a more logical system and seem to stick to it. I suspect the HTC Touch HD 3.5mm is wired the same as the Wiza 2.5mm system just 3.5mm jack not 2.5mm jack.
Someone should make a 2.5mm 4pole to 3.5mm 4 pole converter to use old cherised headsets on the HTC Touch HD... know of any, anyone?

Another solution.....
I know this might sound odd but a simple solution is get your stereo headset & mic thing and cut the right earpiece lead off...
Now you may have to strip the wire a bit and wrap a piece of insulating tape to stop the wires inside touching, which will cause problems (crackling or loss of audio on remaining speaker most likely). Once the wires are safely insulated away, youll have what you are seeking, a monaural one earpiece mic heaset... saves having to buy one that your finding hard to do.
Seems a shame to sacrifice a stereo headset down to mono, but if thats your poison, go for it.
pinouts.ru is the shiz
Get out the soldering iron and make a frankenstien. I grafted a 3.5 female to my old nokia's pop port so I could hook it to my stereo (before I got a BT adapter) and to my amplified helmet speakers (that were sorced from a computer speaker set.) Before I lost the phone I was planning to add a 2.5 mono female socket for a lil clip-on mic I have. Point being, it's only 3 signals and a ground, should be able to come up with something.
ts worth having a go
Yeah having a go is definately worth it. I just utilised the pinouts.ru stuff and a bit of personal common sense knowledge of the wirings and managed to make myself a 3.5 touch hd 4 pole jack into a 3.5 3 pole jack which works ofr my aircraft. I can now fly and make calls through my pilots headset. It shows it can work. You arent dealing with any dangerous voltages... its all piddly "put it on your tongue and you wont get hurt" voltages... speakers and mics... all easy to work out. Worth having a go.
whether I am "search" disabled or there is no info about audio 2.5 jack pin outs.
will somebody give a link or provide connection diagram for mic, answer/mute button and audio outputs?
my aim is to make my own cable to connect the pda to car stereo to listen mp3s and also place a remote mic and switch somewhere in the car.
its done!
thanks a lot to whom gave me info about this topic. Here is what I have done today;
I bought an after market 2,5mm stereo headphones with mic and switch. it was 5 YTL equvalent around $3,5. I had the chance to try it with my qtek9100, but there was very poor sound level and quality, I didnt even try the mic. Actually I bought it just to get one 2.5mm 4 conductor jack.
I tried to make a drawing how the connections were, marked as "before". It is so wierd wiring that I have no idea which kind of device uses this kind of connection.
After modification, as you will see, instead of soldering the existing ear pieces, I soldered a female 3,5mm jack, so that I can connect whether a stereo headphones to use it as hands free or a casette adapter to use with car stereo and listen to mp3s(which in this case, when I receive or make a call, it will mute the music and give other sides voice to car speakers). Ive tested both possibilities and it works quite fine.
I hope this helps to ones that are willing to make this kind of adapter themselves.
Re: its done!

I want to give a more precise definition to jack pinouts.
AFAIK pin 4 - left channel, 3 - right. So U have reversed stereo sound or wrong picture female connector.
Hi!
Is there a headset-Adapter with Micro-Support available (2x 3,5mm Connectors, one for speaker, one for micro) available? I do not want do solder.
Another question:
I have an old Siemens Bluetooth-Headset. Its working fine with the integrated Phone-Application but not with Skype, SJPhone, MediaPlayer,...
Any solution available?

I dont understand your question. The hermes comes with a wired headset. Besides, the headset connector is not a standard jack. so you have to solder anyway.
Ok, one more try.
i am not happy with the original headset. I have a great sennheiser Headset (for the pc with 2x 3,5mm jack) and i want to use this headset with my TyTN.
There are adapters on the market with one 3,5mm connector (for speakers) so maybe there is also an adapter with 2x connectors available to use also the micro.

I got a mini USB to mini headset adaptor for my wife's RAZR and it works well on the RAZR. I haven't tried it on my Cingular 8525 yet, but I'm guessing it will work fine. I got it off of eBay for a few bucks.
The headset that comes with the unit is actually pretty nice. It has the wires to deal with, but it has decent quality and nobody has complained about my voice being underwater or sounding like a speakerphone when I talk on it.
I also use the default headset to listen to MP3's using Windows Media Player (stored on the 1GB micro SD card). The music comes through fine in stereo, and when the phone rings, WMP auto-pauses and the headset starts working in phone mode, taking the mono signal and splitting it to both ears. And when I hang up from the phone call, my song resumes right where it was paused without me having to hit PLAY.

Good idea, Music Man!
I found it for just $7 with free shipping - http://www.emtcompany.com/products/adapters/cnyv3to3-motorola-razr-v3-to-35mm-headphone-adaptor.htm
Just ordered, don't know if will work with the Hermes (my 8525) but I figure why wouldn't it...
It will not work because the Hermes and Trinity use a strange hybrid connector with extra pins for the headset.
Look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=280439
Yeah, I actually tried the RAZR adapter at the local Cingular store on my TyTN. And it does NOT work.

Hi, I have bought it last week and confirm it is working great!
Great stuff. Thanks for the confirmation.
The Martin Field (http://www.doml.com.sg/productdec.as..._dash&pid=2698) sure looks to me like an adapter for stereo headphones (no microphone) with 3.5 mm jack. The following looks like a an adapter for a mono headset (microphone and single earphone) with a 2.5 mm jack:
http://igonemobile.com/products/html/61315310.html
I haven't tried it, but am considering.
Thought of Bluetooth headphones?
On top of having a Jabra bluetooth for use in the car and other places, I just purchased two Jabra BT620 Bluetooth Stereo Headsets from Amazon (only $37 a piece) for my wife and I. These are rechargeable and stereo via bluetooth! The cool part is that they also have a built-in microphone so if I get a phone call and I accept the call (either via a headset button on the headset or via the phone, the music automatically stops and the phone can be answered. It's kind of weird to hear a phone call in stereo, but both the speakers and mic works great!
Of course, all the controls for listening to music are there ... play & pause, fast forward/backward ... volume ... answer call ... etc.
We even purchased a small bluetooth adapter so she can use her headset with her iPOD too (I use my phone as my all purpose device, including a MP3 player).
Anyways, these are fantastic for the price. Sure, the Motorola version of these are sweet, but at over twice the price, I'd expect it to be that way!
I hope this helps!
Does anyone know a 2.5mm to 3.5mm converter like this:
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=104589
that allows me to use a normal headphone with o2 atom exec..
also it needs to be stereo not mono and of the highest quality..
or is there another way
Any ideas? The headphones supplied was **** and i need a good one like the ipod ones or a similar one but it wont work because the phone has a 2.5mm port not a 3.5mm port.
if you intend to use other headsets in your ATOM you need 3.5mm to 2.5mm Jack.
If you intend to use O2 ATOM headset to other devices then u need 2.5mm to 3.5mm Jack
I have both.. bought it for SGD$5 each.

Never tried buddy.. with a mic one..
You can get a simple 3.5-2.5 adapter for 5-6.50 in SG SLS. No handsfree support tho, the ones with handsfree are 15. I haven't got wired handsfree to work right; can hear party, party can't hear me through mic on the set. I had better results through a BT *mono* headset.
(I use a BT stereo headset now, but comparatively, the music skips regularly unlike on the mono, and while folks can hear me through the mic, incoming call volume is still to goddamn low -.-)

Is there any good quality in-ear headphones possible to use with TD2 without usb - 3,5 mm adapter ? If so link please !
...only for hearing music, or also for using the phone (needs a microfone)?
i'm thinking of buying one... i preferable want one that has the mic support
I doubt you will find any because the usb port on the TD2 is from HTC which means no one else uses it. Only headset which uses that port is from HTC themselves.
these things exist. a quick search with google... and then just use your own in-ear headphones

The HTC adaptor supports stereo, your headset must also be stereo.
I used to run out of HTC adaptor into cassette and had stereo music.
