I tried to place a headphone into the 3.5 mm headphone jack and it was loose and didn't register. It works fine for my Note 3 which also is 3.5 mm. A warranty replacement is on the way. Definitely check to see whether yours is fine or not.
My jack is definitely looser than the one on my Nexus 6, but they work fine. My headphones are a few years old and I plug and unplug about 5-10x each day, so I think they might be starting to wear down a little bit. Until it won't work or hold a plug, I won't worry about it too much on my particular unit.
yep mine is loose as well
It plugs in all right but moving the cable even slightly results in the headphones coming off.
Mine is an incredibly tight fit with my headphones. They're just cheapo generic skullcandy or something.
There's no wiggle, and I have to hold the phone and pull on the jack - otherwise I can even pick the phone up by holding the cord. I think it's tighter than my N6 anyway, but the N6 probably got a bit worn by now.

Seems pretty snug with my old iPhone ones
very tight with my beyerdynamic custom one pro and my audio technica ATH M50x
Just checked mine as well - very snug with my Klipsch buds.

So everyone seems to have functional jacks except me.......Hopefully the replacement will be fine (odds are). I tried 2 different head phones both of which worked fine and fit tightly with my Note 3 but were loose and non-functional in my 6P.
Snug and functioning well.
Yup mine fits snug as well with all my headphones. Seems like you might have just gotten a defective model.
Super weird. I thought the headphone jack on my black 64 was actually real snug. Had to apply a little pressure to make sure it was fully in.
Just tested a ton of 3.5mm plugs I have, everything fit snug.

I think you're right....just the luck if the draw......Otherwise I love this phone! So much snappier and smoother than my Note 3!

The ones I have are Sony.....not sure about my friend's headphones. Both were loose in my 6P and tight (appropriately tight) in my Note 3 and in his Note 3. My replacement 6P arrived this morning..... after I left, so hopefully all will be well when I check it this evening.
Eureka!

Finally got home and the headphones actually work with the replacement 6P. The headphone fits snugly with a nice click into place that my first 6P failed to do.
Mine is functional but not super tight, its not loose either. There almost no force required to remove my headphones (Bkse QC20's 2015 model) but my wife's 6P has a death grip on my headphones. Its odd but it doesn't bother me at all
I don't get that clicking noise when inserting the jack. The headphones will fall out with very little effort.

I JUST noticed this the other day. I have a pair of bluetooth buds that I have been using since I got the phone but just got a new pair of wired ones and wanted to try them out and the jack is slightly too large. Glad to hear your replacement was good, though. I hate having to reset up the phone and I'm concerned about getting a refurb replacement, of course, but I think I may have to do a replacement after the holidays.

Please let us know what you think of it!
Guys I have just recieved mine from brando this morning. And I have to say that I am not impressed at all! Within minutes of using it the shell of the mic fell off! I was on the train and didn't even realise untill I looked down in my hands and saw the bare connection exposed. No force at all was used it simply came off. On closer inspection it looks like it wasn't stuck together properly! Not a big problem as such. But I am still not happy with the build quality!!

Hmm interesting.
1.How long is the lead from the usb connector to the mic?
2.Have you had any feed back as to the voice quality of the mic?
3.Finally what 3.5mm headphones are using with it? (though any headphones I suspect would be an improvement over the supplied ones!! )
Sorry mate don't have a ruler at work to measure it at the moment. But at a guess i'd say probably about 45 - 50cm. But again I could be wrong as that was just an estimate! I'll check when I get home.
Haven't tested the mic on a call yet! Again will post back when I do.
I am using the Creative Labs EP-630 in ear earphones. Got to say the sound is excellent. Much better than the original ones you get with the phone. I hate using the originals they don't fit properly and they sound crap as well!
The only thing that was good about the original earphones was that the wire from the USB adaptor to the mic is quite thick. The wire on the Brando is thin, that was the first thing I noticed when I opened up the pack. It looks more delicate. And I found it impossible to attach the clip that they supply to the wire, the gap is too small and even the slightest attempt to clip it in causes marks on the wire and it feels like it will damage it.
Triple adapter
Does anyone have the first adapter with the 3 different sockets? I was just wondering if you use the 3.5mm headphone jack does the mic on the handset still work? If it does it'll be great for using in my car.
Thanks

I concur. I have the Brando product. I don't know why they even included the clip; it's impossible to attach to the wire. I tried, and the wire now has two glaring gashes in it that I've had to cover with electrical tape.
That being said, i use a set of Sony earbud earphones with it, and the sound quality is infinitely better than the original headset.
just received mine a few day ago. its just a 'not bad' thing. i'm using it with sony ericsson headset. the sounds is good enough to make me deaf.
Compared with my Universal, the headphone cord is thicker and more rubbery, but so far I've found the little plastic bag that the universal headphones came in to be the best place to put the tp2 headphones.
What solutions have other people found?

i stick them in my pocket. if you need further details let me know.

Belt pouch or bum bag.

I keep my crappy headphones in the box it came.....who needs it.... get a bluetooth head set...much better....and no crappy stupid wires....so 80's please.
I found a great solution to keeping my headphones; since the headphones that came with the TP2 are ...crap - uncomfortable in the ear, annoying cable, irritating PTT button - I've sent the 'new' headphones off with my old TyTN II and kept my original TyTN II headphones instead.

No seriously, the headphones are so thick and rubbery, I just can't imagine putting them in anything but a big coat pocket. And then only if I didn't use that pocket for anything else.
I held off getting a car dock for my Captivate since i knew i was getting a new car (mounting would have been much different). now that things are settled with the SGS2, i finally got around to ordering my dock...
http://www.proclipusa.com/brodit-de...d-cigarette-lighter-adapter-512255-18750.aspx
great options from ProClip USA, but since my car's cig lighter is behind my right arm (07 S2000) the only option i had was to get the hard wired one (http://www.proclipusa.com/brodit-de...cord-for-fixed-installation-513255-18750.aspx). when i get this installed and wired up, i'll post pics. i'm going to love the set up, now i'll just need to buy a new BT (A2DP) enabled HU so i can eliminate all visible wires from my cabin...
pics to follow
this car dock is amazing... i just installed it and hard-wired it into my cigarette lighter for power, and it works perfectly. the phone fits in nice and snug, yet pulls out easily (but not too easily that it would ever just fly out on its own).
does the dock accept the phone with a case on .. or is it a pretty snug fit?
buy the adjustable one. have had mine for my last 3 smartphones.

Do you keep the phone on it's side like that? Do you have issues during a turn? The website mentions issues with cell/gps signals with the phone horizontal. Do you see that? Are the 'arms' that hold the phone made of metal or plastic?
Same questions to the guy above who said he had the adjustable version. I was thinking, I'd like to do a micro-usb charging/AUX analog audio output cable (instructions are on this forum). I'd like to keep my case though. And this looks like the perfect solution. I might have to fab something up to put the phone on my dash above the stereo (for optimum viewing/GPS angle). Any thoughts on that idea? Thanks!

no problems with GPS while the phone is is landscape mode. no issues while turning either as the phone fits very snugly in there. the sides that hold the phone in are thick plastic and have "channels" for where the phone slides in.
Anybody have one? Does it work with the otterbox commuter case?
No one? + some chars.

Ditto - using a Case-Mate Barely There and it won't even fit. I've considered taking a Dremel to it, but at the price I don't want to take the change
The dock is a tight fit for the phone itself. No case is going to fit.

Do keep in mind that there is a bug in the phone that won't send the caller audio from a phone call thru the audio out on the dock. All other audio including music and navigation will output; but not the phone. This is very frustrating because the phone instead uses the internal speaker which is somewhat covered by the dock, making it even harder to hear the phone caller. The only solution for now is to plug the audio in to the headphone jack instead of the dock.

I have used this Dock from Amazon for over a month and works great. The side arm will push down on the volume down button unfortunately. The arm can be modified to avoid this, or use a case with cut-outs for the buttons (I use Spigen slim fit cases).
The dock works great though

Get the Tylt. The thing I've noticed about wireless chargers is the more expensive ones always work. I guess that's why I've got a Nokia and a Tylt for the car.

How aboit heating and charging time in Tylt? If screen phone is off, how long does it take to go from for example 10% to 60%?

It chargers very quickly. The desktop Nokia I use takes much longer in comparison but I've been using it for years now, had a DNA and a g2 after that, now a N6. The Tylt is just a quality piece and looks great too.
The reviews on Amazon say that the Tylt Vu car charger doesn't work very well with the Nexus 6. The claims seem to be about how well it actually grips and holds the phone (and not so much about charging or feeling cheap).
I've got iOttie already. When plug in motorola stock charger then it charges 50% in about 90 minutes. Grip is very good. No risk of drop. Battery during the charging is cold. Tomorrow I'll try a car charger.
I have the Ghostek Qi car charger coming today from amazon. I'll post pics when it gets here.

Apparently the Nexus 6 fits without a case pretty tightly. I'll know more once I try it myself. $29.99 is one of the better prices I have seen.

It grips and holds the phone fine naked and with a thin case. Using it with my Supcase Unicorn Beetle Pro rugged case works but its jammed in there.
I can tell you which one not to buy, even know it has a ton of good reviews.
Wireless Charger, TechMatte Qi Wireless Charging Pad for Galaxy S6,...
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F1SHFJA/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_ILAlvb1EPQJKD
It's got a terrible sweet spot that has the phone off centered. The pad itself feels like it came right off the .99 cent ship from China. I'm returning it as we speak and getting something more quality. Just wanted to let you know in case the 25 dollar and almost 5 star review enticed anyone. Hopefully the next one will be better.
I read a few reviews about the phone over heating on the tylt....can anyone confirm or deny that? It looks quality and I'm also wondering if it has to be set exactly in place or if it has some wiggle room. Thanks in advance.
