can anyone confirm if you can buy or make a 3.5mm stubby aerial for the hd? as i dont want to have to use the headphones to get radio reception. my reason for this is i want to recieve TMC signals but not using my headphones built in antenna. cheers
I'd like to know this as well, but usually when this question gets asked for different phones you mainly get people asking why you want to, and repeating what you already know about the heaphones normally being the antenna.
Good luck finding out - I hope you find a useful solution.
Yes, I just put a 3.5 - 6.3 adapter without any other cables and it worked just fine.
The quality of the reception was better, maybe because there is no torsions because of the cable... ?
(Sorry for my bad english, I'm belgian...)
i had a quick play with a old chopped headphone cable, seemed to work just fine. Made the cable about 6 inches - but after reading about the 3.4mm-6.5mm adaptor this may be overkill.
Just for reference - putting the stylus into the hole doesn't work either.

well, it was worth a go
Not sure what exactly a 6.5mm cable is (sorry if I'm being thick!).
So with an old headphone 3.5mm plug with 6inches of cable you can use the radio ok then?
Can you get it out of the speaker like this? I guess the answer is yes because if you have a 6" long chopped up headphone cable in place you can't use headphones!
3.5mm jack
I think think the guy is on about one fo these
i think i have one around the house so will test it when i find it.
Peace

Actually - it DID "sort of" work - the radio software registered that an aerial was connected and allowed the radio to search the airwaves.... it just didn't find anything!
Not a usable solution though - I had to exert some (light) pressure on the upper end of the stylus so that the end that was inside the 3.5mm socket was pushed against the actual terminal.

Ahh I see.
Hmmm, I have one the opposite way around but not that
Still, I have some knackered headphones I could strip down for the plug and then experiment from there.
Are there not any registry changes needed to go with this at all?
I'm using this one:
http://cgi.ebay.de/TMC-Stab-Antenne...14&_trkparms=72:1229|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318
Does it work ok by itself?
I'd love to buy one of those but I can't find any on Ebay in English and although that auction list great britain for shipping it's 22EUR for the shipping for a tiny antenna!!!
Does anyone know how I can buy one of these please? Thanks if you can help!
How can you recieve TMC and will it work with Navigon that is installed on my HD.

Any feedback.
How is reception?
does this really work? I would have expected that as soon as the dummy headphones were used all sound from the phone's speaker would stop. this would make sat nav a little useless.
I know it works with the radio application as there is an option to turn sound to headphones off and play sound through the units speaker instead.
The reception is excellent, RDS works well. Obviously, You'll have to listen to the radio through the built-in speaker, since the 3,5" jack is used by the antenna

Can you confirm in works with navigon? Would love to get TMC traffic working on my touch HD while still hearing the spoken directions.
There's no TMC receiver in the touch HD, only the good old-fashioned GPS. For TMC You'll need a separate TMC receiver - a friend of mine uses the GNS TrafficBoxplus FM9BT-Y, it works well with navigon.

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.

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??

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!
So I just purchased this handy little adapter which takes the USB port on the bottom of the G1 and turns it into a USB Mini jack and a 3.5 MM headphone jack. Why go to all this trouble? So I can charge AND play music at the same time
I bought this little piece of wonder off of Amazon for $6 including shipping, and it arrived in 3 business days. I'm really glad I bought it! Here's the review I posted on Amazon:
This is truly a neat little device. I often want to play music in my room over my T-Mobile G1, and it's a battle of charge versus play. I have to make sure that if I do play music, I'll have time afterwords to charge back up. Not the case anymore! I'm able to play music and charge my phone at the same time.
The adapter is very compact for what it does; it looks much bigger in the pictures than it actually is. It's about the size of a quarter, and a little longer width-wise. Sound quality is great; compared to the stock adapter that comes with the G1, I found that bass frequencies are carried much more better and with a little more "oompf". I found a lot more power for my system, and it works great.
The build quality is what you would expect; plastic build with very solid adapter ports. I don't expect it to break at all. The phone charges at the same rate of speed as normal, even with playing music. The port that plugs into the phone is the proprietary port that the G1 has, and the "out" USB port is your typical mini-USB port.
Overall, it's a great product, and a must have for all G1 users!

Did you try switching earbuds? Haha sounds simple...but I have this really bad luck with audio devices, that eventually everyone I have I break the soldering points that connect the jack to the circuit board, and I always loose an ear of sound. It's just odd...but that could be it as well.

I bought this and it works with every rom I've tried. Cyanogen, JAC, JF.
I also needed an extension so I could hard wire my charger and line in behind my car dash with only one lead showing and the HTC adaptor has about an inch of cable between the EXTUSB and the adaptor itself. I hunted high and low but could only find one company who could do it and it were these guys.
Jays Earphones
I want one of these but it's much too thick for what I wanted it for (I only want music), Isn't there one that has only mini USB to 3.5 mm? I thought I had seen one a while ago.
I got one made by HTC when I got my Wing a couple years ago. It works great on my G1 and my MT. It is super handy to have it you listen to a lot of music
got a link where I could get one?
def. getting this tonight
Tried this on a friends G1 (stock T-mobile firmware lastest updates) and it does not come up with a headset icon like it does on my touchdiamond2. Does this mean it does not work or is the headset icon just for when you have a microphone attached?
i've noticed on the HTC one that the 3.5mm headset jack doesnt work. you need to use the adapter cable that came with the phone and plug it into the headphone port on the htc adapter.

microphone?
When using this on a G1, if you plug a headset with microphone into the 3.5mm jack, does the microphone work on calls? I've read mixed reviews about this on Amazon and wondering if anyone has had experiences? Thanks,
I just got an HTC YC A300 today and it's working brilliantly!
It's 4-in-1, with extUSB headset plug, 2,5mm (mic+headphone), 3,5mm and extUSB power and data.

OK I started out with a Venturi Mini which worked fine for a while, then physically broke after only a few months. I managed to repair it with a bit of soldering, and it now works intermittently.
I therefore (on recommendation from XDA) bought an obscure bluetooth transmitter from ebay. This is much more substantial and robust - and gives a very strong signal. This has worked perfectly, the only problem is it's size and having to use an extension lead and find a way to stick it out of the way in the car so it doesn't get in the way of changing gear! (Depends where your cigarette lighter socket is..)
I therefore fancied the combined cradle / FM transmitter instead from here My initial reaction was it was cheap rubbish - the socket was loose so although it would transmit a signal, as soon as you move the car it loses the connection to the TP2, making it useless. However, I then used a pair of pliers to tighten the socket in the cradle, and it worked well for nearly 2 weeks - including charging the phone while driving. I was getting to be quite happy with it, until today it just stopped transmitting a signal. I've opened it up but can't find any obvious loose connections, so it's now trash - proving my initial view.
I am now wondering about the FM talk transmitter. Has anyone tried it?
I have use the FM talk transmitter found on Ebay since July. It works great.
Only problem is that it doesnt charge the phone when the mini-usb car charger is plugged to the transmitter. It only powers the transmitter.
http://cgi.ebay.com/CAR-FM-TRANSMIT...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item414aa12524
this works real good for me.
I connect the dongle to an adapter to a tape deck module that you put in your tape deck (if you still have one) The cool thing is I can also use it as a speaker for when i receive calls. Works awesome, and better sound quality than FM transmitter.

Other than the bulkiness around the lighter socket, would you recommend the bluetooth option? i drive an MPV thingy so my gearstick is well out of the way. so this looks like a good option for me if its worth 25 quid. seems too good to be true!!
Also did you have to pay import duty when you got yours??

That IS cheap! (You did well to get a few months use out of it)
I would recommend the bulkier transmitter - in fact I'm back to using it now and it works without a problem. It even comes with 2 remote controls - 1 handheld, 1 which attaches to the steering wheel, although these don't work on the recent NRG ROMs to fwd & rwd through tracks (which is a shame).
Apart from the size, I find having to turn on Bluetooth and connect each time I get in the car a bit of a pain (as opposed to just plugging the phone in), but if you're used to that it won't be an issue.
I've ordered the FM Talk transmitter now anyway.
As regards Import tax, I have ordered numerous items from China, Thailand etc. and only once had to pay duty. Generally the retailers have wised up and write 'GIFT' on the label, which exempts the item from duty.

Thanks, the remotes would come in handy as the kids use my phone to watch films in the back..gotta love that TP2 screen!! I rekon i'll add it to my christmas list!!
BTW i'm using Miri's 2.5 ROM which does support the fwd/back on my BT headphones!
I use my Motorola T505 for bluetooth/listening to music, mostly Pandora. A little pricey, but I'm not a headphone type of guy and it's technically illegal in California to not use some type of hands-free set.
What kind of car do you have? I'm going to give this a try. It should also charge the phone. It looks like it will display track info in my BMW but not in my VW.

Or
just buy a car radio with Adanced Stereo support over Bluetooth! that way you can also control your phone through the head-unit .
My method
As Die Bruine said a unit with bluetooth is great! However I couldn't afford the bluetooth adapter for my head-unit. So I have a stereo with a USB reader, after I connect my Tilt 2 I just tell it to go into mass storage mode!

I do this too, and I accidentally discovered that you can still use the mic from the speakerphone when it's connected (via 3.5mm jack on the Sprint TP2), so I prop my TP2 on the steering column when I talk in my car (luckily, it cradles perfectly and the rubbery paint keeps it from slipping during turns). I'm told that they hear an echo when they talk, but my voice sounds better than any headphone or BT Headset I've used, and the voice quality over the speakers is really good.
well i bought the fm talk been using it for 3 days now and i love it. its easy to use its self explanitory just plug it in and go. makes the music sound louder on my cars speaker the only thing is that it doesnt charge your phone while in use but its not a problem for my i have temporaly flashed back to stock rom because its the only rom that has a long battery life well from my experience .....
thank you ugys for your thoughts i appreciate it
I'm still rockin my old pair of USB headphones that came with my wifes Mogul. Do you guys of any other options out there for USB headphones.
Yes, I know that there is a 3.5mm dongle which I already have, but I am not asking about that.
How about Bluetooth. No wires, ya know.
No FM radio without a wired set either. Thanks though. Again, I'm asking for wired mini-usb headset options out there.

Yeah, sorry about that one. I found it out the hard way. Didn't know you had to have wired for FM. Oh well. New device, still learning.
One option is to get the cheapy ones off eBay for the wiring and then dismantle the ear phones. You can then attach a nicer set of phones that will give better quality. Here's a link, http://www.wonderhowto.com/how-to/video/how-to-replace-the-iphone-headset-s-earphones-238810/. I have done this before with good success.

That's what I'm looking for as well. I have my USB headset from my Kaiser, however, it will NOT work with the FM radio. Apparently there's some wiring required in the headset to utilize it as an antennae that my old headset just simply does not have.
I'm hoping someone to point me in the direction of a USB headset that they own that DOES work with FM radio. I really don't want to have to keep buying them in hopes that they work. LOL! If they're in the ear (as in extended, not those shallow type that sits just over the ear canal -- those keep falling out of my ears) earbuds, that'd be a HUGE plus!
Thanks, peeps!

I have these http://www.htcdepot.com/htc-stereo-headset/11A29A1450.htm and they work fine w/ FM radio and everything else. You can find them on
ebay for cheaper. Here is another one http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/h2ern11p-bkg.htm
Those Seidio ones look like just what I've been looking for, although I'm not all that fussy about whether they retract or not. Unfortunately, they're much more expensive than I'm willing to pay right now, so if any one knows of a set that looks like those *and* works with FM radio, point this sister in the right direction, please!
Thanks so much for the information, mykwalkr!!!

htc cord/panasonic headphones
i use the htc headphones adapter made for the google phones that I bought at the tmobile store. they have a microphone built in. then I got a really nice pair of Panasonc headphones (thx7 in red) that have a really great sound. I roled the cord up and attached the adapter and now I have the best headset headphone system ever! the voice quality is incredible and the music is exquisite.
this cord is only $10 bucks and the headphones were $35 including shipping. radio works. Pandora even sounds good.
Just a nitpick - please stop calling them USB headsets. Call them ExtUSB headsets, as there is a MASSIVE difference.
HTC's ExtUSB connector is a superset of the mini-USB connector that adds standard analog audio lines. There is no such thing as a "USB headset" for HTC WM devices, as none of them support USB host mode.

Got any pics of the adapter that you could post... Is it bulky?
Incase anyone wants to listen to their headphones and charge at the same time, I have these and they work
I tested ones with built in DAC's and it doesn't work, but these cheap 8 dollar ones do.

I know they don't say that they work with One plus but I have these two and have no issues. And no this isn't a sponsored post or something, just wanted to share so no one else has to waste money.
Are you able to check to see if they work with stereo headsets (4 pole 3.5mm)? Both listings have an identical photo showing a 4 pole.... But I don't put much faith in it.

Would iPhone headphones count? The ones with the inline mic?
I think so, never used them before in my life. Is the plug 4 pole? If so it should be sufficient

Ok so I dont have and with that many poles, but I did test both of the adapters cables with iPhone headphones (3 pole) and did a stereo sound test video and they both passed. hope this helps?
Another update, these cables seem to charge the phone super super slow which freakin sucks -_-. It seems to be enough to keep the phone from draining too much, but certainly no where even close to quick charge. Someone needs to make something specifically for the 6t!
I'm also looking out for such a cable, I have no access to bluetooth in the vehicles i drive ( either line in, or cassette adaptor to headphone jack) and in most cases its not practical to add bluetooth adaptors ( power cable routing etc)
Since phone makers are dropping the headphone jack a stupid move why don't they just put two typc-c ports on a phone. One on the top and one on the bottom. Really many like to charge while using headphones.

It wouldn't make sense to make more room in the phone for other hardware only to put another input to take it's place.
USB type c inputs look small to me.

So I ordered the first one, I didn't receive it. I instead got two USB-C to 3.5mm adapter. I'm going to try to get the other one.

So I've noticed something weird. I thought they were working but it looks like it's not supplying enough voltage to charge with these cables. Im still working on finding something that actually works :/

I've had decent success with Bluetooth FM transmitters in this case. Old car as well, and while the sound quality isn't as great as I'd like, it's definitely usable.
Anyone know if Dash charging will work with these types of adapters?
Seems there is one on Amazon with a review that works
