ok, we have a 4 page + thread going in the main Titan forum, but many upgraders don't read that part of the forum very often i think. it seems a great number of us can't get any audio using adaptors with the various gps roms installed. You CAN get audio with the standard usb headphones, but i have yet to see someone getting audio using an adaptor like the one here:
http://www.semsons.com/2miusband3st.html
a number of us have this exact adaptor and it worked with previous roms, but there is no audio with the headphone jack with the gps roms. loading an audiopara file located in the dcd's 2.0 thread does not work either.
anyone have any idea how to fix this problem? thanks.
I've reverted to the official release rom because I couldn't stand the evdo cutouts, but I didn't have any issues with audio with my adapter.
I didn't try WMP though, I only used TCPMP. I don't see why that should make a difference, but maybe it did?
I have my Mogul set up as both a GPS system and MP3 jukebox in my car. I have the "factory" tester rom installed and use a 3.5mm adapter in conjunction with a fm transmitter. The one issue that I had was that the 3.5mm headphone adapter had a right angle on it that when used in conjunction with the headphone and power dongle covered the power connector. A small screw driver and black electrical tape solved that by prying the pins holding the plastic housing around the connector I then just moved the wires so that it was a straight connector and then sealed it with electrical tape. I not only have access to gps and my mp3 collection, I can even make and answer phone calls.
I just went outside and plugged the phone into the car using the usb/audio adapter that came with the phone and a 3.5 adapter on top of that. Streamed some music in wmp of the internet then loaded up tomtom. Everything worked just fine.
maybe the adaptor that came with the phone still works, i'm not sure....but many who have the adaptor linked above for some reason it no longer works. not sure why.
yeah i never could find a 2.5 to 3.5mm adaptor so i bought the one i have...the same one knivesofice is talking about..come to think of it i dont even think i could even find the adaptors that came with the phone because they were useless to me
Still waiting for a fix?
Anyone have a clue if No2chem or DCD are working on this issue yet? Great releases both of them, many props.
Or should we just be waiting for the next release?
Using No2chem .XX42 release. No love from my adapter.
I am using this adaptor

it probably will require reverting to the old wavdev driver and old audiopara. that may require other driver rollbacks too. have not worked on it yet...
Wow!
Wow DcD thank you SO MUCH for the response.
I will wait patiently for the next release.
I know you have a zillion things to work on too.
If there is anything that we in this thread (or I with the adapter in my hands) can do to assist you in your work please let us/me know!
I just tried the 2.2.1 release and the adapter does not work with that either.
Oddly enough, when I hook the y adapter with the usb/2.5 prongs up to my xv6800 then use a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter it works! Odd, and that 2.5 to 3.5 adapter was from Radio shack.
Thanks again.

Guys the seidio adapter here works if used in conjunction with the included HTC Y adapter that goes from the special mini USB on the mogul to a mini usb for charging and a mini usb for headset. If you plug this sedio adapter to the headset jack the external audio functions normally for music, system sounds etc. The seidio car charging/stereo cradle(at a hefty $119) works great for in car gps, stereo MP3 player etc. I will post some pics of my setup later. I'm very happy with the combo and I'm using the DCD 2.1 rom right now.

that adaptor is so much more inconvenient compared to the one i linked above...the one linked above in my original post always worked before. it can still work if changes are made, hopefully dcd will be able to get us up and running again.
I hear ya, but in the meantime this is a work around and it does work I prefer the car kit as I use the mogul for my gps, mp3 player etc in the car. I am going to post some pics in another thread of my gps/mp3 setup in my car. It works incredibly well and looks great too!!
Seidio mount works ok
For what it's worth I am running the "stock" 3.16 and my seidio 4700 mount works ok.

anyone had any luck getting it to work yet? or know if the 2.2.6 dcd or the new no2chem roms fix this problem? Cant wait for a stable Gps rom to come out that supports the adapter. I will be all set after that!

I have the same adapter that's linkes to in the op. It works for me. I'm running dcd's 2.0.0
But, here's the catch..
You gotta plug in the adapter in to the phone first with nothing attached to the adapter, then plug the headphones into the adapter after that. It works like a charm for me.

Well ok I am still messin with this but have some prelim results :
The adapter that comes with the Titan works perfectly in any combination of plug in/outs and programs except that the 2.5 to 3.5 mm adapters I have get only right channel if pushed in all the way so just pull out 1 mm and ok, but the whole thing is a pain.
The 'Box' looking 2 to 1 Y adapter works if you plug the adapter in firte and then the phones or line out, but apps like SelectRadio and SlingPlayer that release audio adapter during channel changes drop out 3 seconds after the sound stops playing exactly.
My straight usb to 3.5 mm is floating around the office somewhere so I can not test it yet.
Found my straight mini-usb to 3.5mm and it works perfectly with everything. The same headphones and line in cable and audio stuff, and I have 2 of the 'box' type adapters and they both mess up. Maybe a resistor difference or somthing electrically different in the 2 different types of adapters, I will figure it out and fix it and post what it is in this thread. Thanks DCD man you are the man;-)
There seems to be some differences in how the stock and the 'Box' do things, like the 'Box' mutes the built in speaker right away, where as the stock one toggles it when the 2.5 is pluged in or out. I need to find a mini-USB jack with all 5 (yes 5) pins and mess with my ohm meter because I think that the spare pin has a play in this switching and probably will come to play here.
does anyone know if it worked correctly in my 1.6.10 rom/kitchen

Hi all,
I've not got my Hermes variant yet, but would like to ask if anyone plans on using this device in the car for example; with the need to charge AND have audio out going to the car speakers.
Since there is only one connector for both charging and audio, is there some sort of 'Y' cable that 'separates' the two connections?
Thanks.
Brodit has an adapter with just charging feature:
http://www.brodit.com/productinformation.jsp?anr=971690
I have just written an email to them if they could put an audio out cable as well. I will update if I get any information.

I would have thought more people may have wanted such an adapter- but obviously not. This is something I would use in my car all the time.
Hi Guys,
Have you considered the 'parrot' car phone kit options? They come in a variety of options, basically each is a Bluetooth car kit, that bonds with your device,transfers the contacts, mutes your cars radio, and pumps telephone calls through the car speakers also, it is in every way a fully working car kit for the Xda range.
I am biased as I retail and install them, but every customer i do installs for, they absoultey love them, as they also bond with upto 5 devices so other phones can be used as well, ie a works phone,

Would these parrot kits route the [musical] audio from my device to the car speakers then? I dont really need a BT carkit since I always have my personal BT handsfree on. My main requirements are those as listed in my original post.
Thanks Ill pass on the notes to the web guy, i use firefox and IE and works fine, is it the How it Works video?
No, it wont route music through your car, not that I have found yet,
You'd need it to support A2DP to play music too. As far as I know there's no headphone support only headset. At least it's only headset on mine.
The Parrot kits and the TyTn
To Bryson:
I have a CK 3000 that has worked fine with all of my phones. However, according to a different thread there seems unfortunately to be a problem with the Tytn and some (all?) of the Parrot kits.
Hi,
Ive yet to test parrot gear with a tytn / hermes etc - nhave you been over to the parrot forums to see if anyone has posted regarding this issue there?
Sorry i cant be of more help,
Bryson!
My parrot works sweelty with my Tytn and my Strtrk. I have the CK3000 unit too.
Y cable wanted!
I want a Y cable too!
Split into audio out, mic in, charge.
Preferably in a brodit carholder!
I'm sure someone can make this, now the phone is sold in Japan, lot's of japanese will want to use their own headsets, so I hope they will invent some nice cables
Im also looking for this same adaptor, so I can charge the device in the car while the adioo output can be used for satnav.
Anyone know of such an adaptor ? (Y cable)
I posted on the Wiki that a Y cable is soon to be available from Expansys. http://www.expansys.com/product.asp?code=140425.

Ah nice one, I knew this would be something people would want. But why HTC couldn't integrate this on the device in the first place still baffles me!
This is only my humble opinion.
When I first knew that the TyTn, followed by the next coming other HTC's PPCs (Trinity. Artemis), would not have the regular audio port anymore (Regardless the size, 2.5 mm or 3.5 mm), I was thinking they must be really stupid by taking that away. Since my first PPC, I have been always plug the audio/sound to my car stereo for MP3 and phone calls.
Then I tried to think about the logic, why would they take it away, they must have reasons, being such a high tech company. The most logical reason I can think of, they might want to design a good car kit /desktop cradle for it. Thus, by combining the audio port and the USB sync/charging port, they can create a cradle/car kit that would only have one connector to the PPC, instead of two connections/jacks: the USB and the audio pin. That might be a good idea, same idea like the earlier versions of the PPC, like Wallaby that had the serial connector that can be used for synching, charging, GPS, and audio input/output as well, all in the same connector.
But looking at the connector they made, the one posted above in the expansys, I'm kind of LOL really. 2 USB output, one for power, one for audio? Ha ha ha..
They /any third party, should have design a car cradle and a desktop cradle that not only have a regular USB for sync/power, but also just map out also the audio output to a regular 3.5 mm normal audio connection. And that cradle will be really useful and I would think many ppl will buy it. And for a plus side, just add a GPS module in the same car cradle unit, than its perfect solution.
Just my humble opinion...
Yes, I agree with the above post, what we now need is for someone to design both a desktop and car cradle, where it would have the 11pin, to which one would dock the device and the 5 & 6 pin on the underside.
This adapter is helpful, but it would be more helpful if accepted the standard 2.5/3.5mm plugs and power. I mean, come on, who's going to be listening in their car with headphones?

Yes good point. As it is, it would mean having to use this adapter to split the audio/charging and then use yet another adapter to convert the mini usb to 2.5/3.5 (if there is such as thing, seeing as the connection now would be the standard USB and not the 'square ended' one).

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?

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.

this is where our stores get their accy's from, you can get allot of good stuff here.

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.

Guys,
I bought a cradle from ebay (leeonline) because I cannot get a 4 in 1 adaptor from HTC. I tried using the vga-out (17 inch CRT Monitor), rca video out (our Television Set), Brandless USB hub, Generic/standard USB Keyboard and Generic/standard USB Mouse on it all at the same time. Everything works.
Now, I really no longer bring my laptop to work. My athena is all I need for Word Processing, Spreadsheets etc. There are quirks though. Sometimes, the mouse stops working or the athena hangs. (It may be the amount of programs installed.) Then again, It is still faster to boot than my laptop. The other downside is that even with the cradle plugged to the adaptor, It will still consume energy from the battery of the unit.
What I have done to my athena may not be new to most people but I would like to hear from other people what attachments or modifications they have done to make their athena more useful and powerful. In this way, we can all benefit from these ideas. Thanks!
Thanks!

I used to do that, but the novelty wore off eventually. Now i just bring in a mini notebook. It's easier than carrying loads of bits about and connecting things to monitors (though that option is still there if necessary).
Pretty cool though if you like your gadgets.
Leoni is correct, however he can always leave the other stuff connected to the cradle and use it sorta like a docking station, but you would need a second cradle for the home TV. I'm glad this thread started because I myself was considering getting one for my TV. However, what should I do about the audio coming from my device (will I still be able to connect audio to my AV receiver)? As far as the 4 in 1 cable I would be able to get to the audio jack on the Athena however the down side is that not all USB flash drives would be supported with the 4 in 1 cable. Yetdy can you tell me how you work around getting audio streamed?
I think there are a few ways to stream audio.
#1 S-Video if I'm not mistaken is supposed to stream audio to your TV.
#2 Audio Jack to RCA Audio converters connected directly to the TV or amplifier would also help assumming you are using the 4-in 1 adaptor. Cradle cannot help you out with this option.
#3 Of course there is bluetooth connection which is what I am going to use. Got a bluetooth transmitter and receiver from ebay but is currently busted (bad seller). Another is to get a BT that has a changeable earphone/buds. Change the earphone to an audio jack to RCA Audio jack and follow #2.
Hope this helps.
yes and no

#2 Audio Jack to RCA Audio converters connected directly to the TV or amplifier would also help assumming you are using the 4-in 1 adaptor. Cradle cannot help you out with this option.
****if it is anything like the one I got from ebay then no, as it covers up the headphones out port from the athena but does not replicate it on the back ! the athena also carries audio out from the same USB connector that you charge it from (this is why the socket on the athena is an unusual/different shape compared to your plug on USB charger) if they had replicated this port propely on the dock then you could have got audio out that way, but the dock connector for that is also wrong (standard USB shaped socket, not the odd one from the athena) ****
#3 Of course there is bluetooth connection which is what I am going to use. Got a bluetooth transmitter and receiver from ebay but is currently busted (bad seller). Another is to get a BT that has a changeable earphone/buds. Change the earphone to an audio jack to RCA Audio jack and follow #2.
****it is feasible to have the athena transmit stereo bluetooth to a nearby device !****
Hope this helps.

just my 2 pence worth
If you want to play audio on your home theatre speaker, you could also consider the option of plugging an FM transmitterinto the headphone jack, then use your FM receiver to play through your theatre speaker.
That was how I used to play my music in the car, through the car's srereo speakers.

wont work if the Athena is in the ebay dock/cradle, as it covers up the audio out port, but does not replicate it.
Ice coffee,
Maybe you can share some other options here. You may have other ideas that may be useful to us. I just got my athena last month and cradle last week so I cannot really say with authority what it can and what it cannot do. If you can help us out in maximizing the athena with its cradle, many will appreciate it.
None of the video outputs from the 4-in-1 carry audio, the only options are BT a2dp or the headphones jack. Seems a bit long-winded to me though - I'm sure there are less fiddly mods out there. I just used to use the magnetic keyboard as a stand, slipped a BT keyboard over the top of it and the 4-in-1 for usb hub etc. This left a free audio jack to use as I wished. Seems like the docking station is more of a hindrance than a help.
HTC Advantage
Docking station
Keyboard
Mouse
Hifi Bluetooth A2DP adaptor
USB Hub....
I think my EEE pc is a more convenient device on the whole than the above setup would've been if i'd carried all that with me I wouldn't have had any space to fit my work stuff!
I came accross another docking station for $119.00 USD that has the audio option on the side along with 2 standard USB ports instead of 1. I think it's a bit too pricey, due to the fact that on flebay they do have a2dp stereo bluetooth adapters for like $50 USD. Besides with that and your bluetooth headsets it might still be possible to answer a incoming phone call on your bt headset without having to hear the audio coming from your A/V receiver (considering you left the phone on). Leoni, both options have their own drawback (no powering source with the 4 in 1 cable for all USB storage devices and the inaccessable headphone jack when using the docking station). But anyway I'm going to order the 4 in 1 cable too and see which one works best for me on a day to day use.
as I said the only simple option is to use bluetooth and as tootalk2000 pointed out you can get adaptors on ebay for £25 ish, I suppose the other more complicated option would be to, take your cradle apart and replace the USB connector into the phone with this,
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/2in1-Audio-US...oryZ3728QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
and then take the other end of this apart and make it fit in your cradle, it would actually be quite easy to do as there is a lot of space in the cradle.

Awwwww shux, someone just gave me some experimenting to go do. I'm ordering one of those jacks today, and hopefully it will come around the same time as cradle. I'll just super glue it to the back portion of the cradle and plug it in externally. Due to the fact that the USB port is still on there you would still be able to sync even when the ear phone jack is still in use.

lol my thoughts exactly.
Need some type of earphones that have a over the ear holder
I have some Airdrives earphones that I use with my iPhone but for some reason when I plug in a usb to 3.5 adapter into G1 I can hear fine but the mic on the headset doesnt work (person on other line cant hear me). The earphones that came with G1 wont stay in my ears. Have you ever seen a HTC compatible USB connector type stereo headphones that have some type of a over the ear holder and a mic for phone calls?
I use the HTC wired remote control and a set of Bang & Olufsen headphones. This arrangment works very well...

headphones and charger at the same time
hi because the batt so bad on these phones i was thinking of adding a plug or jack to charge and use the headphones at the same time. i am looking at fitting 2 plugs where the usb slot is. but that would mean changing the plug on the charger. or fitting an extra plug some where in the phone for the headphones. anyone got any ideas before i start hacking the thing to bits
adam
possible solution

I bought one off Amazon for $3 odd. just search for "2-in-1 mini USB and 3.5mm HTC" its really small and lets u charge it along with listening to music
I was wondering what market you were in? I purchased the G1 in the US and it came with the adapter.

My WING came with one, my G1 did not, are you sure yours had a CHARGER adaptor?? This looks good and sells on eBay for $5.50 total. Search for : HTC Touch Pro Diamond mini USB, 3.5mm Audio Adapter
Shouldn't HTC just put this $5.50 adaptor in the phone? Unbelievable!
Combine with with a carcharger and last.fm & streamfurious on your phone and VOILA you have SIRIUSXM except with thousands of channels as long as you are within cellphone Edge/3G service.
For a headphone only option (not recommended as you drain your battery so fast its not even funny) you can try this one for 45 cents SHIPPED:
Search for: 3.5mm USB Audio Adapter for HTC Touch Diamond PPC-6800 on eBay and the seller is gpslot
Go it Ultimate Ears!
Is the 3.5mm headphone adapter an original HTC one?
RC E100 for the G1?
Hihi, I recently bought the HTC RC E100 (http://www.blueunplugged.com/p.aspx?p=137320). On that site it says that G1 works with it. But it doesn't? I tried it, and sound still comes out of the speakers.
Now it said that I need a driver from the disc or from the HTC site. I tried to install that, but it says that the phone is already updated and needn't update anymore.
Does anyone else have this headset, and have it working on their G1's? Thanks!
edit: Well upon researching, apparently it doesn't work. Stupid misleading site is misleading.
There was a set of headphones that came with the G1, you should see if you can get those or see if tmobile will give you some for free if they didnt come with yours.
I was almost tempted to purchase these or get the doopad ones(rc-w100) off amazon for a little cheaper. I was wondering if the g1 will even be able to have this function through the ext.usb? I know the drivers for winmo phones won't work but is there even the slightest bit of possibilities?
I know A2DP is comming for bluetooth but is there going to be an AVRCP profile also?
Apple In-Ear Headphones on Dream G1
Anyone had a chance to try it out?
I can't seem to find a single post anywhere talking about what the music quality is like or whether any advanced features like volume control work or whether calls work using the microphone.
Side story: I went into the Apple store to try it out and the store nazi said I could not try them on due to hygiene reasons. Fair enough, but he then even declined taking them out of the packaging so that I could just handle them and talk into it on a call to see if it worked. So instead I handled the box instead, ShopSavvy scanned it and then accidentally dropped it onto the somewhat dirty floor. Oops.
Has anyone tried a mini-usb to 3.5mm headphone adaptor yet?
I used one with my Kaiser that worked fine. It'd be great to hear what experiences people have had with various adaptors with the TP2.
i got two adapters and they both work. one of them is just usb-stereo jack, the other one is usb -> Stereojack and 2 USB ports for charging and syncing.

Been using a mini usb to stereo jack adaptor for some time & works fine! Picked it up at Radio Shack in the States...
One thing worth noting is that there are two different sort of mini-USB to 3.5mm jack adaptors - the standard mini-USB and the HTC ExtUSB. I did notice a difference between the types last night while playing with the FM radio application last night. The ExtUSB type will let you use any earphones as an FM antenna, the standard mini-USB won't, probably missing an essential line, I guess.

That looks like a good idea, but how does this let you listen to the radio? Do you still need normal headphones plugged in?

I havent found a way to listen to radio without headphones at mo. would be gould if you could as ity drains my bat sat her at work.
I'm going for this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00195I3X6
I had the same one with my Kaiser, and it lasted for ages (sold it with my Kaiser though).
The reason I'm going for it is because it supports charging while listening to music (good for in car or when doing power-hungry wifi radio). Only issue with this is that it makes the music noisy when power is plugged in, so it's not good for quiet tracks.
The HTC a300 looks good for desktop use, but doesn't seem very portable (a bit big maybe).
with this adaptor:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/3-in-1-h...-with-extusb-for-htc-mobile-phones-p19259.htm
as it shows it has a USB port, from a while back i have an in car charger which was used to charge my ipod via a FM transmitter, the FM transmitter had the same port on the bottom. My question is if i buy this adaptor could i use the in car charger with this to charge my TP2??

Can anybody confirm that it actually works. it's extremely cheap! And does it contain a microphone?

I've been using one of these with my Diamond earlier. Tried it my Rhodium and works just as well. No mic though.
(If you're in HK and interested, they're available in Sim City in Mong Kok.)

About to test it once charged. It does have a mic and according to instructions can make and recive calls.
Rubbish! I've just received my one from amazon (http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00195I3X6), and while it works fine, it's quite big & feels cheap.
The one I had with my Kaiser I think was actually this one, mentioned above: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/3-in-1-h...-with-extusb-for-htc-mobile-phones-p19259.htm, which looks similar, but is actually a fair bit smaller.
Oh well, it'll have to do for now!
