The problem is that on the phone, that 3.5mm jack is an audio output, and there's not a hardware input aside from the mic.
You'd have to find an app that loops the mic feed from the 3.5mm jack to the internal speakers. I doubt something like that exists.
I know what you mean, but just because the cable fits in the hole doesn't mean it belongs there.

Real STEREO OUT via mini jack?

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 ???

Yeah from "88Trading".... they don't work, they are not compatible despite what the description says.
I'm in the middle of getting a refund from them.
Dopn't buy it!

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
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=104589
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....

In-ear headphones with mini usb ?

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
http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=179392
i have one these adapters but it won"t help you if you want stereo in music.....only mono and that is not sound quality in my opinion..

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.

[Q] using external microphone for video recording?

hi,
already asked this on the official sony-erricson forum but no response, so maybe someone here can help....
has anyone managed to connect an external microphone to the x10 for video recording? maybe with some kind of self-made adapter?
not talking about hands-free sets but rather a more "professional" recording microphone.
i already tried to connect various external microphones (active and non-active) to the phone but then i only get statics / clicking noises.
reason i'm asking is i took a video at a concert but the sound is clipping really bad... really a shame especially with upcoming 720p recording....
(maybe another solution would be if it was possible to adjust the sound recording level... any app for that?)
It should be possible to add an external microphone. You probably will need a homemade adapter. The headphone/microphone jack is a TRRS connector (tip, ring, ring, sleeve). Check Wikipedia for TRS. The "pinout" is listed there.

So if you just plug the handsfree in with and/or without the headphones as well, it records audio (voice memo and video)?

yes, you can use the hands-free (with or without the headphone part) as a microphone when recording video... quality is a little better than the internal microphone but still not really good...

thank you argnom... . now i know what to search for..
there seem to be some adapters for the iphone that split the trrs connector into seperate microphone/headset connectors... maybe i will try one of these... or is the wiring different on the x10 from the iphone?
www . showmecables.com/viewItem.asp?idProduct=8335
edit: think i found the one i need (IF the wiring is the same as for the iphone...)
www . kvconnection.com/product-p/km-iphone-mic.htm
I really don't know if the wires are in the same order... I suppose they should be.

I've tried everything single brand. Dr dre beats, shure, sennheiser, any headphones or earbuds that have mic it won't work with x10. You can use x10 headset that came in box with regular earbuds or headphones

Has anyone got an external microphone working with the HTC One X. I have bought and adapter and a microphone but its still not working at all. Any help would be appreciated.

power amp full vs playerpro

which one does everyone who's tried both....like the best....for sound quality first?......i want to buy one today,but not both
I have used both (purchased both) and settled on PowerAMP.
will either 1 of these help with the low volume from the 3.5 jack ?

I use playerpro and like it a lot, I dont think either help with the low volume unfortunately

the sound out of my 3.5 is so bad I may use a fm transmitter
I use PowerAmp and the preamp slider in the equalizer does help considerably using my phone connected to my car radio by the headphone jack. I use a 3.5 MM adapter (example) that has a mic and turn my car radio into a hands free.

I plug the adapter linked to above to the Streak and a 3.5 mm to 3.5 mm cable to the aux input on my car radio. Works just like using a headset with a mic, except the putput is through the radio speakers. The adapter mic is sensitive enough That I can use it with the mic about 3 feet from me on my console.

i thought the ray was a 3.5mm jack :S
when thinking about male and female adaptors, think of... ahem... private parts. Your phone is the female as you plug the male in... if you get me?
do you mean your headphones have the massive jack that go into AV amps and professional equipment or them wierd small ones that sony used to use on their headphones about half way down the cable?

I think ray has a 3,5 mm jack too. I don't understand what your problem is. You are searching like this adapter?
When he said there's no sound, maybe the earphones are not compatible?

yeah the earphones are not compatible! it has a mic
and i need to find the right adapter for it..
