Alright, my friend has a blackberry and when he's listening to music and his phone rings he can hear it ringing through the headphones. Not only that, he can answer the phone and hear the person in the headphones while talking to him. He basically holds the phone in front of his mouth and talks with his headphones in. Also he doesn't have a mic on his headphones.
I've always wondered if this was possible with the x10. When my phone rings and im listening to music my music stops but the phone rings out loud and not through the headphones. I tried to answer it and see if I could hear them through the headphones but I can't and the person who called can't hear me either unless I unplug them.
Is there any way to fix this so I can hear the person through the headphones and talk to them by talking into the phone?
Sorry if the post doesn't make any sense, I'm tired as hell, just got back from work.
Your head phones come with a mic, imo I think that's better than holding the phone to your mouth.
Sent from my X10a using XDA App
I understand that the default headphones come with a mic, but they never stayed in my ears, which is why I use my own in-ear headphones. I want to be able to use them to listen to the call tho.
But the default headphone cable that comes with the phone has a headphone jack to plug in any headset you want to it, and still have a mic?
I've fixed all my headset issues by buying a £10(roughly) wireless headset adapter off eBay. roughly 12-14 hrs battery life out it (so lasts about a week with moderate usage as I mostly use it in the car on 1-2 hr journeys and do them once or twice a week). Good buy!
Hi Hypercore,
We seem to have gotten our phones from the same place. The default headphones came with a removable mic. When I got mine, I had headphones (with a 2 contact TRS 3.5mm connector + a shorter wire with a microphone that sports a 3 contact TRRS connector).
Heres's the way the tips rings and sleeves work (I think... correct me if I'm wrong)
The headphones TRS
Tip: Left
Ring: Right
Sleeve: Ground
The "Mic TRRS jack"
Tip: Left
Ring1: Right
Ring2: Mic
Sleeve: Ground
So you need a TRRS connector that includes a mic + TRS Headphones or a set of TRRS headphones that include a mic built-in.
There are some pics on wikipedia, just search for TRS connector.
Hope this helps.
I know what you mean, the mic comes with the phone but when I hook my headphones up to it the wire is WAY too long.
Boohoo, just bundle it up a few times and put a rubber band around it keep that end in your pocket.
I just snipped the headphone's wires, slipped some shrink tubing, heat wires up with a lighter (to remove the "varnish/wax/stuff" they put on the copper wires these days), solder, slip the shrink on top, heat up one last time and voilà! Headphones with a short wire.
Hurray!
I have to admit that the mic wire + normal headphones make for a really long wire.

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 bought a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter from Expansys UK and it works just fine. Sorry - no part number on me, but it should be easy to find on their web site.

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...

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.
Just a bit of whining here...
The TyTN seems fine after a month of use but the headset issue is blowing my mind. I want to listen to the music and talk on the phone with some quality headsets.
First the supplied headset is a non standard USB, you cannot use your own headphones or connect to speaker inputs. Bluetooth stereo headsets are available but I believe that they are still too bulky and the technology is not yet fully developed.
You can't charge the phone while using the headset. This is just dumb, Very dumb.
Needless to say the quality of the supplied headset is not good, it is not even recognized by the phone as headset when you connect it. If you connect it to your phone while the phone is non silent, the phone still rings and not just your headset.
I have no idea why HTC is doing this, the TyTN is a relatively large device and it doesnt make sense that there are no spaces for a 2.5mm plug where you can buy all kidns of aftermarket wired headsets for it. Even the high end headset makers SHURE make headsets with the 2.5mm...
Finally I've made a move. TyTN X Sony Crossover Custom Headphones.
I've used a solder to remove the original earbuds wire and soldered a pair of cut SONY MDR-EX71SL headphones on. They sound 100 times better than the stock ones. This will ease my frustrations for now. I was tempted to solder my MDR-EX90LP on but they are $100 a pair. Too much for now
Later on I will try to rework the stock mini USB headphone and make a 2.5mm connector for it so I can use all kinds of headphones(with mic) and connect to a speaker system as I want!
EDIT: It appears that the original mini USB headset has 6 wires, 4 should be for the headphones and the remaining 2 for the mic, I can simply cut up the wire right after the mini USB port and connect the 6 wires to a standard cell phone headset 2.5mm connector then I should be able to connect the TyTN to all kinds of headsets![/img]
Arent you essentially doin this? http://www.4winmobile.com/tutorial-replace-hermes-headset-connector-with-35mm-socket-vt3146.html as seen in another post, seems like the most universal way to solve the problem.
I do like the way you built a set without a plug, cleaner..less cord and weight, but I know myself, I go through a pair of headphones about every 2 months on my mp3 player, Id hate to have to redo the soldering everytime, I expect with the headphones being such an issue for most peple that the market will be flodded in a month or so with headphones for the tytn, or atleast adapters, shoot, the one guy in the above url even offered to do it for free, as long as you bought the plug.
is there still no adaptor available to buy?

Looks very good, even more solid than the other solution, but how do you open the unit to reach the print, is their any trick?!
Can i also use the new connection as a line-out for little active stereo boxes, or is this to tricky for TyTn/boxes?
worked like a dream i have no more crapy hissing inbetween tracks and now i can play my song thu my hi-fi that 1 to the modders and 0 to htc
Adapter usb to 3.5 jack
Go to semsons.com, they have the adapter
qing84, I have the same headphones as u=) firstly I solve this problem like you, but I smash the small "black box"=) with mic and volume control, and i was need connect my mdr-ex71 directly to TyTN without "black box"=(
I was glad that i did it, because sound became much more louder, and more clean...

Hi everyone, I am looking for Ideas on how to build speakers and a microphone into a full faced motorcycle helmet that communicates with my Wing (in stereo) via Bluetooth. I know there are commercial solutions but for the most part they are crap and a good setups (chatterbox) will cost in excess of $400. So I figure with the right guidance I could make a good system for a fraction of that $400.
What I’m thinking: (of course cheap is the slogan of the day)
1. Bluetooth adapter that will pair with my Wing and receive a stereo signal.
2. Noise canceling microphone
3. Decent (yet thin) speakers
The real question:
Would it be possible to strip apart a Bluetooth adapter and solder in speakers and mic. Allowing me to listen to music on my Wing while riding my bike. I would also like to be able to verbally answer and dial the wing with this setup. One of the big stumbling block is how to power the speakers (would an BT adapter have enough juice?), easily recharge (or replace batteries) in the adapter, and make pairing painless.
I would appreciate any ideas and comments you have. Thanks
Hello and Welcome to the forum!
But if you want to make some speakers in your helmet, Contact the police first and ask if it's legal.
I know a mate who has done that before and when he got a speeding ticket, the officers saw there were speakers.
He got a ticket for that aswell because it may inflect the safety and durability of the helmet.. LOL
Anyway, If i were you i just bought the original HTC headset wich is wired, and plug them in my ears.
Put on your helmet and you can call and such.
But maybe other people will have some other thoughts.
You think the mic will work in that enviroment?
ermm, well if you have a noise canceling mic than it should be no problem.
But i did some research for you and there are helmets availible with a bluetooth headset built-in. Connect your phone with that headset and play some music.
I've been looking to do the same thing. Its REALLY hard to get my helmet on with a bluetooth headset in my ear, its hurts as a matter of fact. I have to take some of the padding out from the helmet if I dont want pain, but thats just not worth the safety risk; I bought a $500 helmet for a reason. Lol.
The mic wouldnt even have to be noise canceling IF you kept the mic behind the chin wind gaurd or inside the helmet somehow.
I totally understand, I paid $700 for an Arai helmet for a reason and its not because of the *****en graphics. What I have started to do…
I have a set of Skull Candy headphones that I removed the speakers from that will fit nicely into my helmet and have great sound. I did a test and spliced the speakers in to the USB headphone adapter (stock) for my wing. I ran into my first problem…. The wing doesn’t have enough poop to drive the speakers. So I will need to use some kind of speaker amp. I found a cheap ($8 + shipping) and small amp on Ebay ( http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...STRK:MEWA:IT&viewitem=&item=260255057258&rd=1 )
So I’m thinking that if I can find a cheap Bluetooth (stereo and voice command capable) I could crack it open cut out the original speaker wires and solder in wires to connect to the head set amp. The head set amp looks small enough that I should be able to hide it someplace in the padding of my helmet. Then solder in wires to run from the amp to the speakers and finally mount the Bluetooth on the face guard infront of were my mouth would be.
What I am stumbling with is power. I need to figure out how to make the Bluetooth easy to charge and how to power the amp (requires 1 AAA battery). I would need to make the amp easily accessible to change out the battery which seems like a pain in the ass and may look ugly. What I would really like to do is have a common power source for both device so when I am home I just plug in one cord to the helmet. But I don’t know if that is even possible.
I really want to make this work but in the end this all needs to be functional and CLEAN. I don’t want it to look like I Forest Gumped my way though this project.
You might look at a tactical throat mic and a in-helmet speaker setup from midland. You could also try a in ear tube type setup from Midland also. Both products are for their GMRS radios, but I think with some modification you coud get it to talk to a bluetooth device.
Also you might look at Fire/police communication sights as some departments use bluetooth adapters with their 2 way radios for hands-free mic's that don't have to be connected to the radios.
Let me know if you ever come up with anything, this sounds like a very interesting project....

i have an HTC Headphone set, that i got from a touch diamond, apparently when i was using it earlier the person on the other line was saying that they could hear static but when i used the USB Dongle with a pair of 3.5mm headphones they dont hear the static anymore, then i try to plug the headphones on the usb dongle along with the 3.5mm stereo headphones, i unplugged the stereo headset and left the HTC headphones on there, and the person said they dont hear static but when i take it out and just put the HTC headphones back in to the phone they could hear static
is there something wrong with the microphone on the headset? because i flashed a different ROM and still the same, but the good news is, is that i can hear audio from both ear pieces
plz help me out, thanks
I've had this happen to me before. Don't know why but a simple soft-reset seems to do the trick. BTW have you modified the Audiopara csv file to increase or decrease your volume in anyway? MAYBE that has something to do with it but don't quote me on that.
That stupid flimsy connector is breaking......well the wires inside are. I've been through 2 in 6 months
I was on my nightly bicycle ride using Cardio Trainer and my Skull Candy Smokin Buds, and everytime id move the phone in my bicycle jersey near the headphone jack it would cause the music to skip/stop/ff sometimes try to voice search and sometimes try to redial out ... I can replicate the problem here at home by jiggling the headphone jack around abit .......... anyone else
Yes. I posted the exact same thing in Q&A forum. Got no response but I figured it out.
Sometimes when you plug in your headphones they are detected as a headset. It doesn't occur that often, just make sure the notification icon doesn't have the microphone part. Otherwise any shaking causes songs to skip, phone to freak out and voice dialer starts.
Apparently there's also an app that makes sure they always do connect in headset mode. I think I'll go replace my phone anyway.
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App
I had the same thing happen yesterday. I was testing some speakers at a job site and the phone was going CRAZY. I pulled the phone out of the otterbox case and re-plugged the headphone in and it was fine. I think my problem was the case + cable was not making the correct contact. Today I had the headphones from a PSP plugged in (with case) and it was fine.
Looks like its the same thing that was heading to my evo4g. The headphone input is design for 3 ring conductor (for remote control) but your headphone jack has 2 ring conductor thus making your phone act weird. I brought an adopter (you can go search amazon) and it fixed the problem.
go to marketplace and download "headset blocker". it wont show up in your apps list. go to 1 of your homescreens, and add its widget. its a toggle that you turn on and off. when its on, none of the headphone control features will work, and it it should just play your music without skipping tracks and what not.
I have the same issue did you ever figure it out?
Like previously mentioned this is because it is designed for a 3 ring conductor. 1 is left, 2 is right, 3 is microphone/control. The controls are back track, forward track, pause/play/answer/hangup. If you have a pair of headphones with 2 conductor (which is fine and it is also designed for) you are good. If, however, you aren't making full contact (because of cases being in the way or you have a 'non standard' headphones, read: cheap ****) wacky things can happy from intermittent contact of the various points.
I've never experienced this on either phone, but, it is a thing and it makes perfect sense.
There is another possibility...that the jack is fncked up. Poorly soldered, defective jack, abused (all it takes it one good jerk on the cable to ruin everything).
It's not as random and wacky of a situation as it sounds like.
I have two different 2 ring (stereo) headphone cables from two different manufacturers and the cable has nothing to do with the issue in my case. The issue is not with headphone/earbuds and not with the cable not plugging in all the way. The issue for me is that when you have the headphone cable plugged into the jack and the other end is feeding any type of amp: stereo equipment, Aux input in a car, whatever, the phone absolutely loses its mind. I've tested it on three different phones now and it does it every time. The phone is unusable until you download, install, and activate Headset Blocker from the market. Then everything works perfectly. It appears to be a defect in either the hardware or the software because it is picking up electrical noise as headset control signals.
BTW, I've measured the cables and tested to be sure they plug in all the way. They are standard 2 ring (which means three conductor) cables that should not be triggering any headset functionality. Something on these phones is falsely triggering the headset connection: maybe some very small electrical signal or voltage coming from aux inputs because as I said, earbuds/headphones with the exact same connector don't have the problem.

I had the same problem and just swapped it for a new phone. If you're still under 30 days just take it back.

It sounds likely that it could be a grounding issue, probably on the amp side...though it could be on the phone side, especially if this happens to some phones and not others. If this is pro gear there is probably a ground lift switch on the back...give that a shot, if it doesn't help then it is definitely the phone...which I am leaning towards since it seems to happen on some and not others.
Headset Blocker from Market. I had a video on youtube about this and my thread is here.
i am having the same problem. thanks for the heads up for the headset blocker app. beats using up warranty or paying deductible for now.
I know this thread is 2 years old, but I figured bumping is better than starting a new thread. Anways, this issue has been driving me crazy to no end. Headset blocker stops the false signals. However, if it's in your pocket and the base of the jack is bent, (at least on Skullcandy products + HTC Inspire), music stops playing from the left ear.
Anyways, I figured out a solution to this. Cut a 3.4mm hole in a credit card, and then insert your headphone jack. Trim the card around where you insert the headphone jack. To get the right size hole, I use a knife to penetrate the card, and then use a screwdriver to widen the hole until it's about right. It should stop all interference and false signals, audio cutting when your phone is in your pocket and the headphone base is bent.
This also works on heaphones that have microphones; however, you have to remove the plastic piece if you want to use the mic.
Abaout those adapters on Amazon that someone mentioned; what do I search to find them?

Nope, it's certainly on the phone side.
I've had the same issues plugging it into my car and into professional audio equipment.
Headset blocker is great. I just keep it on all the time.
It was pretty funny sitting in the car and realizing that it's dialing everyone on your contact list though. Couldn't make it stop even after unplugging it. It went crazy.

i have the exact same thing on my device, but it happens with any headphones i have plugged in
moving them just a bit causes google now to launch repeatedly and the music to skip,play,pause,etc
to fix it i remember using a blocker from the market and editing the code that launches google now via headphones so the blocker would block it aswell
