Are all mini USBs pins configured the same??
Reason i'm asking is that i saw this...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3-5mm-Audio-H...9QQihZ012QQcategoryZ42404QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
..and wondered if it will work on my MDA vario II??
Also I've seen a few Bluetooth headsets with a mini USB connectors for charging duties... Ideally I'd like to use the same charger for phone and headset (voltage dependant obviously).
No, that one wont work, and its a mono 3.5mm adaptor anyway, the audio doesnt come out of the normal mini usb pins, it comes out of the pins on the other side of the connector,
You cant get a 11pin usb to 3.5mm heaphone adaptor for love nor money at the moment in the UK, even HTC dont have any!!
I unsoldered the headphones from the crappy headset that comes with the Vario2 and soldered a 3.5mm socket onto the pads on a 1" long flying lead, and the sound quality is absolutely awesome plugged into my Koss portapro headphones, loads of volume, a decent amount of bass and just slightly muted treble response, but perfect good enough for me!
Here is a solution to your problem:

I have been looking for an adaptor to plug my own headphones into that includes media controls (+the normal microphone, pickup/hangup etc). The one from HTC themselves HERE only includes a pickup/hangup button and mic.
I tried the headset from the wifes Nokia N86 which has media controls and a 3.5mm plug to use your own headphones. The controls didnt work so I cant just get one designed for a Nokia.
I have seen the guide on how to rewire the existing headset with your own earbuds but I am reluctant to go chopping up my headphones and headset.
Has anyone got one and where from?
Buy an extra pair of the stock headphones and chop them up. Instead of soldering on new ear buds, solder on a female adapter to plug your preferred headphones in.

i too would like to know if anythings out on the market for this. there must be an easier way round this than having to chop and put back together different buds and cables......
hadn't thought about putting a female connector on a spare headset Might take a trip down Maplin at the weekend.Would be better if someone would make 1 though.
Hi, guys!
I'm new in the Mini section. I've been using X10 Mini for almost an year, but now I'm with a Xperia Mini 2011.
In the past I was using MH810 handsfree and it was having a pretty nice sound, sound remote control on the wire, but it is incompatible with the Mini.
So which handsfree with sound remote control is compatible with the Mini? Only SE Live Sound or there are others?
Thanks in advance for the info!
The 2011 xperia line uses a diferent type of protocol for the 3,5mm connector that's why other headsets are incompatible. I think that your only choices are the models released by Sony Ericsson i.e. Livesound.

I currently have Sony MW600, Hi-Fi Wireless Headset, works via Bluetooth, quality is good enough, costs also less than LiveSound, also has remote control buttons Play/Pause, Next/Previous and volume.
But what you mean, that is incompatible with Mini? Just give it a try, according to me, you have nothing to lose...
The 3.5 mm jacks of the X10 Mini and the Xperia Mini are different - that's why they're incompatible and the wonderful MH810 handsfree cannot work on the Xperia Mini.
What about putting a 3.5 mm jack on to a HPM 82 handsfree instead of the fast-connector - will it work?
I'm asking because MH1 Livesound is not being sold in Bulgaria, so I should order it from amazon.uk maybe.
What do you mean, that does not work? No sound or controls don't work or what?
Take a look in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1229622
summary: buy the gadget linked there and get any iphone compatible headset you want.
Someguyfromhell, I mean the jacks are DIFFERENT!!! Why don't you look at them in Google? Why should you ask that questions, as I have already explained that twice?!

It's not directly the phone, that has different jack. Both have 3.5mm jacks, it doesn't make any difference at all.
The headset has additional part, which is...I have no idea, what for. Probably additional functions from the remote control.
One way would be to try getting rid of this additional chip thing, if you are willing to take that risk.

Why do u continue with that stupid... suggestions?! Getting rid of the additional contact-strips will make the remote control of the handsfree completely useless and I will not be able to recieve calls, or sell the handsfree to some X10 Mini owner.
Even Nokia headsets work with Xperia mini, i was shocked to see old nokia headset to be working with my st15i, button, microphone, everything.
If you want really good sound - buy big , normal headphones.

I've tried Nokia headphones a few days ago, they did have remote control for the music player on the wire, but... they didn't worked with the mini. Or at least the remote control didn't. There was sound, but no control over it. Maybe because they were a cheap Chinese copy.
I found my old X1 lead, it has a socket on the mic for use with any headphones
Also old SE HPM-80 in ear headphones are good

Yep, they're like HPM 82 with display on the remote control, but with a fastport again. I'll try to solder a 3.5mm jack to a HPM 82 handsfree (to replace the fastport), but I may not succeed because there are 8 or 9 cables out of the wire and only 4 holes to solder them on the 3.5mm jack...
using easy sennheiser headphones, awesome for less money
I've got second hand Sony Ericsson MH1 for half price. Not so special, good sound, not better than the old HPM-82 or MH810 for example. And the lack of a clip for hanging on the neck piece is obviously a disadvantage! The free is constantly slipping down and pulling the ears - very annoying!
The lack of separate buttons for changing the music tracks is also a disadvantage - music tracks are changed with continuous pressing the volume buttons of the handsfree's remote control, not with separate buttons like on the HPM-82 or MH810. But it seems that this is due to the 3.5mm jack cable-number connectivity limitation. The MH810 has some additional ports on the side of the 3.5mm jack, which allow it to have more buttons on the remote control, while MH1 doesn't have them on the jack.
guys i've been looking for budget headphones that would fit in xperia mini's jack
i don't know if it would help but i tried couple of nokia headphones that worked with the device along with the samsung corby pro's stock stock headphones and they all worked currently im considering buying
MEElectronics M9-SL
or the
iLuv iEP322BLK citylights
but i don't know if any of those is compatible with the xperia mini anyway so advice would be appreciated
Note:I just want music to my ears
Xperia Mini has regular 3.5 mm jack, so you can use any headphones(with 3.5mm jack) with the phone.

Good day dear friends!
I bought Great headphones i.Valux Hybrid Dynamic+Balanced Armature Dual-Driver HiFi IEMS Headphone Earphone with Inline Microphone & Remote Earbud Headset
They sound really cool. But there was a problem. They are available with built-mikroofon knoopkoy. All smartphones with android button works properly. But by connecting them to my Sonya button instead of working as expected (one press - answer a call, press the two - switch tracks), a button to increase the volume.
On the forums of our country told me that this feature Jack smartphones Sony. Tell me how to solve this problem. Maybe there is an adapter with a standard jack to jack Sony?
Another observed fact. When you connect these headphones noticeable high-quiet noise ............
Maybe there are some 3.5 adapter for Sony Jack? If there is then let the link.
Maybe Sony not support that type of 3,5 mm jack.Adapter 3,5 to 3,5 mm exist,i have no link,but i saw somewhere on the net.
How guys! Been a while for me being on here.
Have been working hard and don't have time to actually play with my phones in the same way of used to
So I have a new project I'm about to start.
In a previous car I had an ipad mini dash install, so basically the ipad replaced the stereo and it usb'd into a stereo hidden away in the boot. So that all music functions were controlled via the ipad and volume was done with the oem steering controls which were operating the volume of the hidden stereo. This time round tho I don't have room for an ipad mini so was thinking of using an xperia z ultra in the dash, but in what way would I be able to connect this to a car stereo?
Any help appreciated guys
There are some methods. Not as tidy as with an ipad.
Easiest to setup is bluetooth via aptX. I know the z ultra supports this. But I have never used it. I stopped buying bluetooth headsets some years ago. Just buy a reciever with a good dac. Plug it in and supply it with a power source and play music. (Find one that allows charging and playing music at the same time. Some powers off when charger plugs in).
For hardwiring the z ultra to the car. You could use either the aux cable strait from the headset jack. Not ideally ..the z ultra has catastrophically bad sound.
Or buy a dac from http://hifimediy.com add a micro usb extension cord so you don't have the z ultra janking on the short cable to the dac. Then run the aux cable from the dac to the aux input.
I don't know what to do about power. The micro usb port is taken by the dac. Perhaps its possible to have a splitter. But I don't know if the dac is running in standard usb mode or via otg. The pinout on the cable is slightly different when you run in otg mode.
Anyways. A cable would look like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Micro-USB-H...-Samsung-Galaxy-S6-6-Edge-5-4-3-/171837296881 Or use a magnetic dock with a car mount.
You could buy a chromecast audio.
It has a AK4430 dac. It looks promising on paper but google restricts the possibility to control the bitrate. Even if its capable of 192KHz. You're not allowed to stream audio in that bitrate.
Perhaps you can root it and change this?
Some good food for thought there.
I was thinking I could maybe charge with the magnetic port on the side of the device.
As I will be fabricating a mount built into the dashboard so the magnetic charger can just be in there ready to go as the phone is put in place and the dac unit in the USB port.
So the day u it would transfer all audio from the phone out of the auxiliary port on the stereo?
