Hi everybody,
After upgrading my MDA III successfully with Qtek ROM (thanks to the nice information on this forum).
I am looking to solve my second issue which is the stereo headset. In fact, I buy my MDA III in london in second hand. There was no stereo headset given with it. Therefore, I have bought in a shop a stereo headset supposed to be the original one for Xda2s, but unfortunatly when I use it, there is only one side of the headset no stereo. If I unplug a bit the headset I have the stereo, but it is really not practical to use. The problem is that I am not sure the problem come from the headset or the MDA III.
Does anybody got the same issue, and know if it is normal that the headset from Xda2s doesn't work ?
Also, does anybody knows where I can find a place to buy a stereo headset with microphone which surely work with the MDA III ?
Thanks.
Julien.

Hi!
I have the exact same problem with my stereo headset! The earpiece on the side of the mic does not work.
The trick of unplugging the headset connector a bit to get stereo works, but if you turn your volume up past a sertain point the earpiece will stop working again. And recently this trick has completly stopped working for me even when the volume is low.
So today I went to the a phoneshop to buy a new (original) headset for my Qtek 9090.
I asked to test the headset just to be sure that it worked.
But sadly enough the problem of one earpiece not working was still there.
Maybe this is a hardware problem?
Thanks for your help "FFVIII".
But in fact before buying a new earphone I want to be sure this time, that it will work has expected. In fact, I have already waste some money on some try, and I am kind of fed up about it.
So, if somebody on this forum, has find a stereo earphone with mic, fully working with a T-Mobile UK MDA III (I think MDA III is enough), I would be happy to know where I can get one.
My neck would really appreciate to have a earphone, especially for long phone call
Julien.
id really like to use my sony MDR-EX71SLB Fontopia Headphones with my MDA III, is there an adapter that will work with blueangel from 2.5mm plug to 3.5mm socket to get stereo when playin mp3?
I have order this handsfree kit :
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/5846.htm
I really hope this time it will work, otherwise it will be another waste of money.
I order this one because it was written "genuine t-mobile mda III earphones", so I hope it will work, otherwise I will start to think that my MDA has an hardware issue. :shock:
But also I saw so many people having the same problem that I have doubt it's an hardware issue. I will give you my feedback when I received it, if it's work or not. :roll:
Cross your finger for me
i got the genuine PTT/heapset with my MDA, they work ok but fall out of your ears to easily imo
I have a bad news. I have received the new earphone that I order. Like I said, those earphone where supposed to be the genuine T-Mobile earphone. But in fact I still have the problem of only one side working when I plug the earphone totally. If I unplug a bit it's working.
So, I get so much bad luck about this, and specially since the earphone is exactly the same as the one I already bought.
I am really starting to think that the probleme is an hardware issue. If somebody has better luck.
It sounds like a hardware issue, the reason you can hear through left and right earphones when you pull the headset out slightly is because you are crossing the pins for left and right from the device to the jack plug, to put it simply, your hearing one channel through both headphones not stereo. Just a thought, is the track your trying to listen to definately in stereo?

The mobilefun one looks a bit flimsy and expensive to me! I can make you one at the length you want but the lead will be based on the same design as you have seen in the listings except shorter and without the extra jack socket. I am about to make some of the leads without the extra jack socket but with a microphone inline if that sounds better for you? It is up to you, just let me know :lol:

Thanks Padlad, yes it is a bit pricey condsidering the excact same one for the XDA 2 is 5.99 :? , although flimsy looking I don't want to stress the socket with to much weight or chance of snagging it, as if that goes I'm buggerd.
Although I did notice you use RadioShack style beefy connectors that are much better for sound quality. I am impressed with your Mic/handsfree system, can I record through it? and or make calls useing my Sony ECM-717 3.5 stereo Mic? How much for a short 3inch one with mic+headphones? And how much for just a headphone out adaption? deliverd to the U.K. at a Buy It Now price. many thanks choppidge.

You can record voice/sound through it if it has a mic, if you wanted to use your ECM-717 3.5 stereo Mic then you would have to have two 3.5mm jack plugs, one for your stereo output (headphones) and one for your ECM-717. 3 inch is too small to make due to the size of the strain relief on the jack plug (i made one for myself at 4 inch with mic and it is just too rigid), the minimum size so as to allow for the cable to flex and not be too rigid is 5 inch without mic and 6 inch with mic. In order to give you a price i need to know whether you want to buy it through Ebay or buy it privately using Paypal (i have to take into account Ebay's selling charges if the adapter is sold through them) I'm easy either way, it is up to you.

Amigo! Thats a standard converter. You should be able to find it in any electronics place there. Or have you shopped for it already? Try THIS search and you'll see many as low as $1.00 and many with free shipping.
I need a CAM for my BA SX66 Its the only reason I hate my phone. There was a guy on e-bay who used to sell the cams, but don't have any more. I keep searching for broken phones at Ebay just for the cam.
Now i knew it
Marc yesterday i knew that siemens sx66 BA dont have camera... but does the Motherboard has the adaptations? to handle it? The cover isnt a trouble a I now!
Yes I tried a lot of standard 4 paths 3 lines 2.5 to 3.5 stereo adapters and none works well its is just mono.... damn! i need music on my ears all day! please if anyone found that adapters point me to the seller please.
Yes, the connector is there for the flex cable. Cover has the markings where to drill. Did you check out the links for the adapter? Just search for "2.5mm to 3.5mm" that's all you need on the search. and make sure its stereo and for phone. Otherwise, the mic wont work.
Mic doesnt matters to me...
Mic doesnt matters to me cause i just want the adapter to use my own earphones cause default sucks!
I have a sony and are nice!
Hey +Que ma man...seems like you really want a 3.5mm jack converter for your BA...why don't you visit your local electronic shop? I am sure you will find one just make sure there are four divisions on the plug itself. There are plenty of those connectors here in my country and prices ranges from US$5-10 but if ever I will send you one shipping cost will be the problem! Hope you find one.
Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hate to listen at the people talking about **** on the bus...
And those people who use his cellphone to play music with speakers.....! hey dont you think nobodys like your f**kn music! jejej sorry.
I have a bose communication headset with a 4-pin 3.5mm jack (iPhone style connector). Has anyone had any success using such headsets with any of the ExtUSB - 3.5mm adapters / would anyone be willing to provide a link to where I could order one shipped to the USA?
Thanks,
kg4mxz
PS: I have searched the forums, but I couldn't find any posts dealing with 4 pin 3.5mm headsets.
i have exactly the same problem, i have bose in-ear headphones but i am not sure what to buy to use them, i'm using that bulky adapter from my last htc touch diamond sprint version, but when i go to the gym, is little embarasing to use it
ecx.images-amazon*com/images/I/313uTE4pFpL._SL500_AA280_.jpg[/url]
but one thing i noticed, you will lose like 25% of the sound power you get when you use it with that adapter, if you compare the sound volume and quality you get with an IPOD..
i've been thinking to use one of those light adapters
ecx.images-amazon*com/images/I/41-D72YS48L._SL500_AA280_.jpg
but according to some reviews it doesnt last enough, you have to buy like 4 of them for replacement haha... MADE IN CHINA probably and again the same problem with not enough volume.. you will listen when somebody is chewing gum next to you...
update us for anything you find..
because you are not the only one.

Hey guys just wondering if anybody else has beats by dre, im having a little bit of an issue with the volume controls and wondering if they work for anyone else...I have the beats in-ear tour.
no it doesn't work for the atrix.. i have the HD Solo and iBeats and volume controls dont do anything
ohh, ok, thanks for the reply!Do you think it's a software or hardware issue?
It's a hardware issue. It's something about apple's headphone port having reversed connections for the skip and pause buttons.
Sent from my Unlocked Gingerblurred Atrix
apologies to Necro a thread, but if its a hardware issue - anyone know if there is an adapter that could be used?
I have a Sennheiser earphone (made for iphone) and it did not work for my other phones. (backflip and X10) Apple headphones have reverse connections, the ground and mic connection are reversed. However, the atrix detects the reversed connection and disables the mic and the controls, allowing the earphones to be used.

For apple earphones, to skip a track, press the pause/play button twice.

nope, none of the buttons work unfortunately.. i just got the Sony Ericcson MW-600 as recommended by other xda-members here, so i just plug my Solo's with the other cord with no buttons and plug it in on the MW600 and i'm good
leave it to apple to try to be different and proprietary ... no matter how stupid and pointless

I just bought a pair of these for my photon 4g. Would I be able to get a Sony Ericcson MW-600 and connect it to my photon and use the solos as well? I really want access to the remote. Thanks
Which one of the Beats would you suggest? I am just a casual music listener.
The remote control on the Rezound Beats work for the atrix, and the sound is great. Maybe look into those on ebay or something haha

Actually you're wrong. My studio's work perfectly fine with poweramp. you need to switch off double click and enable long hold on answer button and everything works..its a dream to use!
Why would you ever buy Beats headphones? Honestly.
For that amount of money you could get some real nice headphones. Not average headphones with cherry red paint.
It might not be too late to return them for some Audio Technicas, Denon, Superlux, Fischer, Grado, AKG, Sennheiser, Beyerdynamic, Shure, HiFiMAN, and Audeze. You know, headphones that sound good.

I wouldn't make average headphones look bad by clumping the beats stuff in with them. Honestly they are low grade headphones and the skullcandy's are probably better than those pieces.
Do your ears a favor and get one from the list above or whatever. Never heard sound replicated so poorly except from a $10 pair of Koss buds.
I found this post by mere luck but I know that I will get many thanks for posting here.
My friend has beats by Dr.Dre and I bought something called Coby cv215.....we often compare headphones and although mine is just 10 bucks, mine blows his completely out of water.
Haha. I love the expression on his face when people say the sound quality of mine is better.
Don't believe me? YouTube it or buy it as it is really cheap and tell me if I am wrong.

I have a pair of beats. I came from using a pair of sure buds. The beats cannot compare. I now have a high grade set of klipche Wich were cheaper an by far to best phones I have owned. I also have them plugged into a SE MW860 my only gripe with those is in also can't get the caller display or track display to work. FM radio on those also fill a great hole.
Beats are the most terrible headphones on earth besides a blaring megaphone. Why on earth Monster! It's silly, but Monster professional buds are expensive, but actually are worth what they cost unlike all their other products.

Even the product turbines are over priced in my opinion. Sure or klipche give the best bang for buck from my experience especially with memory foam buds rather than rubber. Loose the background noise and you don't need to play at full volume. Also I think they both have a much broader sound without being over based like monster head phones. It's all very well having good base but there is no point if the mid and top are flat.
hey guys, so you know the headphones that came with the galaxy player 4.0? well i actually thought they were nice. i called sony if i could jsut order that part, but they wern't that much help. does anyone know where i can get em?
Did you mean to say you called Samsung? I wouldn't imagine Sony would carry Samsung earbuds.
If you want some comparable earphones, Sony does make some darn good ones for under $20 (at least imo). I got a pair of their non-in-ear ones (in-ear earbuds don't stay in my ears, lol) on sale for $5 and they lasted me a whole year before they shorted out - and believe me, I am rough on earphones.

lol yea my bad, they both start with an s. but yea i called them, they give me a part number and told me i might be able to find it on their parts + accessories website, but had no luck.
I'd check on amazon.
To be honest you should go buy some Sony Earbuds lol, but here you go http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Origi...8-1&keywords=samsung+galaxy+player+headphones they are the same earbuds.
Personally I have gotten these, [Cannot post link, less than 10 posts... stupid rule getting in the way of honest posters]
Search Amazon for: Nakamichi Earphones Brand New Volume Control Mic Stylish Precision Sound, Black
The price is $30 but I found them cheaper in a local store.
They work pretty well, and have:
A microphone
A volume slider
A flat cord that does not tangle as easily as a round cord
A button
My current OEM headphones are still working but I got these because I needed another pair.
Apparently these are quite good for the money
These are a little bit better than the ones that from with your device and are cheap I use these as my main earphones.
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-EHS64...=1367894765&sr=1-1&keywords=Samsung+earphones
Just in case anyone wants to know, I personally use skullcandy titans. I know these are $50 online, but I live in the USA and marshals has them for half the price.
