Hi there
Long time member, first time poster.
I was hoping someone may be able to help me clear up my confusion on the status of the official wired extusb headset that comes with the Touch HD.
After much searching this site and others, I can only glean snippets of information saying that audio is not supported through the extusb port on the Touch HD and therefore gives a "This device doesn't support a USB Headset." error (I have tried two recent cooked roms to upgrade the Touch HD to WM6.5).
My confusion is, if the device doesn't support it, why was the Touch HD shipped with it?
Any help would be appreciated as I'm saving up for a new headset and I would like to use the official one in the meantime.
Many thanks
The headset shipped with mine has the 3.5mm jack.

Thanks for the reply BigDish, that would be why I'm confused. I bought mine second hand through Ebay and it looks like they've sent the wrong headset.
I have seen pictures of, what I thought was, a Touch HD with ExtUSB Headset but I must have been mistaken.
Thanks for helping.

Hello all,
I'm looking for somthing but I don't know if it exists. I want a holder for my Herald in my car. The holder should have a charger, a gps and a handsfree option.
Why?
Because I want to get in my car, put my Herald in the standard and drive. When I drive I want the Herald to be charged, be able to make handsfree phonecalls AND have the option to use TomTom 6 (which is installed om my Herald)
Does anyone know if something like that exists? I could find it.
Noone? DOes it exist or is there no interest?
Google????
e.g.

Could you read my first post please? I'm not looking for 'just a handsfree set'. I'm looking for a handsfree set that has GPS integrated.
Thanks.

this was only a hint.
and please keep up respect!!!!
I meant no more disprespect then your 'Google??' remark. What made you think I didn't use Google before I posted here?
I simply asked this question because:
1. Perhaps other people have been searching like me and found something (or nothing)
2. Manufacturers might look at this forum and find it a good idea to make something like this.
With upmost respect,
Richard.
sorry. but after 1000post. i read a lot here.
and yes often people forget to use goole.
i just wanted to help. .... but i guess with this well coosen words you will have a long carreer in xda-dev forum - haha
keep head up. just kidding
Kein problem, schon gut
I would suggest a Brodit active holder, combined with a Parrot CK3300. The active holder will charge the phone for you. You can then either get a connected GPS adapter and connect that to the active holder and buy a separate Bluetooth carkit, or you can buy a Bluetooth carkit with GPS built-in such as the CK3300.
Personnly, I'm using a passive holder combined with the CK3300. It has everything you need (carkit + GPS) except for the charging. I have a separate charging cable for long trips.
Thanks! That's what I'm looking for!
Can't get the RC E100 working on the phone. Connecting the remote gives me an error that the phone does not support it. I have tried to install the drivers but that doesnt help me either: you have already the latest drivers.
Anyone?
imo it's not supported, because of the 3.5 jack. I've tried yc-a300 multi adaptor wit no luck either.
i think that i've seen somewhere a reg hack which allows you to use usbExt audio capabilities on htc touch hd.
You would make a lot of people happy if you were able to find this reg hack.
As it stands we are told that no audio is passed to the Ext-USB.

I bought the E100 without realising it wasn't compatable, however, I was poking around in Google and found a reference on a polish version of xda-developers. http://pdaclub.pl. Now, bear in mind that I speak no polish whatsoever, but it seems to be discussing a ROM that has been made which allows the E100 to work with the THD. Here are a couple of very poorly translated excerpts (translated using an online translator), which seem to be talking about using the E100 to control the volume (and hence other controls?):
So, I have noticed (have remarked) that from this a bit requests nazbierało here, whole list beguile that in (to) ) add (be of use for) repair /add ( hope < stuff > sofcie, that in version already 2.1 ) 1. About 1-3% at one changed loudness click, has to act on array china too ( słuchawkowym E100 or change of this parameter for headphones (receiver) only ) 2. Capability of creation in standard player on base of folder ( ) playlisty. Come be give for it from which (who) hard folder song ( ) składanki since all songs are displayed at addition for in bulk < wholesale > playlisty. / 3.

Point 2 certainly < obvious > capability of restoring of (recuperation of) music has given folder - choosing coreplayer if (or) single file from folder mp3 but pilot (remote control) serves for it china only E100 and with (from) exclusively playera touchflo3d.

So does anyone speak fluent Polish geek and can create ROMS ? (If there isn't anyone here, I do know a Polish girl who is completely non-technical, but could possibly help with the translation)
Damn it.. wish I read this before ordering the RC E100 in from Amazon in Germany (best price I found).. why the hell do they include a leaflet with the phone advertising these headphones if they are not compatible!!!
Is there no available ROM that can cure this, Dutty etc??!
As for the Polish stuff, my Polish friends are not at all technical either, but I can ask one to translate it too, if anyone will find it helpful...
Does anyone know how we could get a ROM developer interested in this like Dutty? Do we just PM them, or do we need a special invite?
read the manual for the hd (in the wiki)
although the miniusb socket has the extusb pins present, on the inside the extusb pins are not connected
therefore no matter how skilled the hacker, you cant make software to do something that the hardware is not present to deliver
the same with tv out
the extusb port is there purely for bog standard usb functions and charging
if people have a leaflet from an official supplier in their box recommending these headsets/remotes etc, then you have bought them through misleading advertising and you will have some form of recompense through your local trading standards process

Hi JimLin,
I don't know if this applies for shipping to foreign countries but in Germany there is a law that you can send back any online ordered goods within 2 weeks without naming even a reason and you will get a refund. (I don't think this applies if you bought by a private seller)
So the odds are on your side I would say...
Best regards,
Tommi

Good to know, thanks.. Now all I need to do is run amazon.de through Google translate to figure out the returns policy lol
As long as I know BA support using of the BT only as an audio device (headset), im interested in device which is a bit more than that, anyone know will BA work with devices like this one ?
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.32355
would be nice if you tested something like that / it would be nice not to waste 35$
thanks, best regards to community and especially Chef Tony !!!
incredible, no one knows the answer...
i think it depends on the rom you use. with the cooked roms there are a few new bluetooth drivers integrated, that gave the blueangel the feature of a2dc for instance. that was not integrated in wm2003. having said that, i guess the protocols supported by bluetooth are purely software/driver related, while the hardware only limits the connection speed and distance. it's a shame that site does not show, what protocol is used for caller id and unfortunately i have never owned any bluetooth accessory that would provide the same function.
i would be 65% sure that it works though, if i were you, i would go look for a good local retailer or web shop with a money back guarantee. dealextreme has a good money back guarantee, but i guess, you'd have to pay for the shipping back to them, which, in your case, would be half way around the planet and probably not that cheap. or maybe, one of the others knows about the protocol, and then we can find out with certainty, if it will work.
thank you chef Tony, true reply of the master, best regards and respect !
yes
most likely new cable is inexpensive
Hi, folks!
Sorry for the duplicate post in the wrong forum, this here should be the right one.
So to the topic itself:
My old laptop is nearing the end of its lifecycle and now its soundcard got busted and I can't find a way to get it working again.
I could go to a shop to buy an USB-soundcard, but that would be
a) too easy and
b) waste of resources
- as I'm aiming to buy a new laptop soon enough. But until that time I need to hear some sound from the box anyway (some music, some movies and some training videos) so I wonder if it's possible to use the HD2 as a soundcard and get the audio output from its 3,5mm jack. Either by bluetooth or cable connection..
Is there a specific application for this?
phone is running stock winmo 6.5
pc is win7ultimate in intel T7700:2x2.4GHz/4GbRam/500GbHDD box, BT enabled.
Any ideas how it could be done?
Thanks a lot!
Heard of no apps for WM or Android for this type of function.
A USB soundcard can be posted to your door for less than $3 so outlay for a simple fix is minimal but I do like your resourceful approach & hankering for a challenge ...

Damn. I was already hoping. So I'll have to drop by a tech store. I do so dislike buying stuff I know I don't need for a long time. And pity, because HD2 produces better audio than my computer ever did (to the headphones)
But thanks for the info anyway.

Give it a while for a few more opinions before you head off to a hardware stall ...
I have purchased a HICES Android Car/DVD unit for my Camaro. Being on that forum, which I won't mention, has helped a lot with some of the fitment issues we (maybe about a half dozen of us have purchased from word of thread). The company actually sells many different unit for different vehicles. We have been in direct contact with the representative of the company and he has quickly (within 2 months) corrected the fitment issues so this unit should now literally be plug and play.
Earlier versions were 2.3.4 and he has now upgraded newer units to 4.0.3 and upgraded us who purchased prior to the upgrade. Customer service wise he has been great. Also, since I had to download the upgrade, I know have those files saved to a MicroSD.
I have searched these forums for HICES, etc. however all I seem to pull up are the other Chinese branded units. There is one issue with this unit which I was hoping someone on here might actually have a suggestion. Is it possible that in the hardware for a "tablet" there is no microphone? These units only lack a way to communicate through BT. In doing the upgrade to 4.0.3 it has lost its ability to communicate through BT using the dongle provided. In the Camaro the bluetooth mechanism is located in the stock headunit, which obviously causes a problem when you remove it to replace it with this.
Because of the communication with the company rep our best bet may be to stick with letting them get this figured out, but I was hoping someone on here may have one and just not posted about it. I would really like to see what this is capable of.
Sorry I can't post outside links, but searching Google for HICES Android will pull up the website.
When I am allowed, I will post the website to the forum where there are more pictures and video of the unit, it just comes down to none of us being knowledgeable with android.
Thanks for any support
Brian
Somebody here suggested that the HICES Deckless head unit is based on the AN-21u. There's a hardware hacking thread here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2610926)
Some people have added an external hardware microphone, but nobody has checked AFAIK that they board is the same. Maybe you'd be willing to remove your unit and open it up. The thread I linked above shows what you'd need to look for.
