I wondered whether anyone has had a positive experience with this adapter on the XDA IIs. I bought one and it worked fine on my journey to work using Shure in-ear phones. Then after work I plugged in and could only get the left channel. No amount of fiddling would remedy this. So assuming a fault I returned it to the well known supplier and was sent a replacement. My experience with the repalcement today has been identical. It was fine on first use, then wouldn't work again. But I can't see that there is any way in which I could have damaged the adapter.
I'm beginning to think that there is something going on in terms of the way my XDA is responding to the cable. Or am I being paranoid, when it's actually a duff product?
Has anybody had sustained success?
UPDATE
Okay, so now it's working again but it starts to drift to the left channel after a while. Pressure on my headphone jack relative to the socket rectifies this, indicating a design problem with the socket, possibly exarcebated by expansion from being in a warm pocked. That's the only reason I can think of for it stopping working and then starting again. The fact that I've had problems with 2 of these is not a good sign.
Look here, it is that you are looking for

I specifically want to use audiophile grade headphones. I understand that Shure now do a mobile headset, but I don't want to pay out again when I already own 2 pair of quality headphones.
I guess I'll have to stick with the separate mp3 player.
There are TONS of 2.5mm to 3.5mm adaptors. Just go to your local electrical hardware store.
It has to be one that is suitable for Blue Angel I'm told. I have a conventional adapter, but that doesn't work. It needs to have three plastic rings on the plug apparently.
I have some crappy headphones with a 2.5mm jack, and they work on the BA, so are you sure about that?
I tried a regular adapter that I already had, and that didn't work. There were 2 different cables available through Expansys, with specific instructions about which one would work with the XDA IIs. I bought the right one for about £10 including delivery, and you know the rest.
I've actually just resolved the problem by trying a cable from a Hong Kong trader on eBay for about £3.50. And it appears to better quality. I'll think again before buying from Expansys.
I use a little adaptor i bought for €0.60 ( $0.80 or something like that ), and it's working perfectly.
Oh how fortune has shone upon you.

So I just purchased this handy little adapter which takes the USB port on the bottom of the G1 and turns it into a USB Mini jack and a 3.5 MM headphone jack. Why go to all this trouble? So I can charge AND play music at the same time
I bought this little piece of wonder off of Amazon for $6 including shipping, and it arrived in 3 business days. I'm really glad I bought it! Here's the review I posted on Amazon:
This is truly a neat little device. I often want to play music in my room over my T-Mobile G1, and it's a battle of charge versus play. I have to make sure that if I do play music, I'll have time afterwords to charge back up. Not the case anymore! I'm able to play music and charge my phone at the same time.
The adapter is very compact for what it does; it looks much bigger in the pictures than it actually is. It's about the size of a quarter, and a little longer width-wise. Sound quality is great; compared to the stock adapter that comes with the G1, I found that bass frequencies are carried much more better and with a little more "oompf". I found a lot more power for my system, and it works great.
The build quality is what you would expect; plastic build with very solid adapter ports. I don't expect it to break at all. The phone charges at the same rate of speed as normal, even with playing music. The port that plugs into the phone is the proprietary port that the G1 has, and the "out" USB port is your typical mini-USB port.
Overall, it's a great product, and a must have for all G1 users!

I definitely would recommend this to just about everyone, and wanted to know what everyone else's experience is with this product!
i just ordered this...i was tired of having to take out my headphones when i wanna charge my phone
I have the 3 in one charger but what i really need is something just like this but i need to have each port n an opposite side. Why you ask?
I have a Moto p790 charger and i would like to be able to have that plugged in while i have my headphones in. now that would be useful.
kind of like this one but smaller.

funny, mine came with that one.
I bought one that lets me charge/audio out/headphones in/usb/whatever made by HTC off ebay.
Removed ebay link since amazon has good price right now
I bought one but I have a sort of huge problem. When using it audio only goes to my right earphone. Can anyone else confirm this? I'm using jacxhero so that might be way.

Did you try switching earbuds? Haha sounds simple...but I have this really bad luck with audio devices, that eventually everyone I have I break the soldering points that connect the jack to the circuit board, and I always loose an ear of sound. It's just odd...but that could be it as well.

I bought this and it works with every rom I've tried. Cyanogen, JAC, JF.
I also needed an extension so I could hard wire my charger and line in behind my car dash with only one lead showing and the HTC adaptor has about an inch of cable between the EXTUSB and the adaptor itself. I hunted high and low but could only find one company who could do it and it were these guys.

I want one of these but it's much too thick for what I wanted it for (I only want music), Isn't there one that has only mini USB to 3.5 mm? I thought I had seen one a while ago.
I got one made by HTC when I got my Wing a couple years ago. It works great on my G1 and my MT. It is super handy to have it you listen to a lot of music
got a link where I could get one?
def. getting this tonight
Tried this on a friends G1 (stock T-mobile firmware lastest updates) and it does not come up with a headset icon like it does on my touchdiamond2. Does this mean it does not work or is the headset icon just for when you have a microphone attached?
i've noticed on the HTC one that the 3.5mm headset jack doesnt work. you need to use the adapter cable that came with the phone and plug it into the headphone port on the htc adapter.

I have an HTC Fuze and it came with this little Gem. It works on my G1 and MyTouch without issue. I love this thing! You can find them on eBay for around $7.00 USD
microphone?
When using this on a G1, if you plug a headset with microphone into the 3.5mm jack, does the microphone work on calls? I've read mixed reviews about this on Amazon and wondering if anyone has had experiences? Thanks,
I just got an HTC YC A300 today and it's working brilliantly!
It's 4-in-1, with extUSB headset plug, 2,5mm (mic+headphone), 3,5mm and extUSB power and data.
Hi,

I've had two issues with the headphone jack, but none with the external speaker.
Regarding the headphone jack, believe or not one time it was just because lint got trapped in the jack. So maybe try taking a paperclip and try digging around to guarantee that you're making a solid connection.
Otherwise, check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726521 This was more or less what I experienced in my second issue with the headphone jack.
Good luck.
whatr can be the issues wen the intrnal ear piece doesnt wrk?
earpiece flex? the main camera flex as well?
motherboard?

I also have the issue where by the internal Phone speaker (ear speaker not loud speaker) and the phone jack do not work.
Both were working, then they were intermittent, now not working at all... Did you ever find the answer?
I am considering changing this phone now, but have no idea what would top the Atrix as a good all rounder! I was looking at the Pad fone... but can't seem to find a UK version anywhere...
N.B. I would love to actually fix this phone first!!!

Unfortunately that link did not fix my issue - Although I would assume that would be a Rom issue if the app did fix it!
In my case I notice the Fingerprint scanner does not work either...
so Fingerprint scanner, phone speaker and audio jack do not work, front camera fingerprint scanner button and everything else does work!
If I output to Bluetooth, car dock or play dock\hdmi it all works as well (other than the aforementioned issues)
Hmmm... not sure what else to try, other than replace the ribbons etc, but they all look perfect!

Thats ok thankyou for trying. :good:
I'm not sure what else to try TBH... its too good a phone to throw it out lol its just annoying the speaker doesn't work...
Maybe I'll look on ebay and see if there is a decent quality MB860 for sale then use this as parts in-case anything goes wrong in future...
Hi guys,
Has anyone else been able to output music via an aux cable?
I've tried 2 different cables which work with other phones and had no luck!
Also, an in car charger(cigarette lighter > mini usb) doesnt work either - again, works for other phones?!
Any help would be appreciated!

Same problem here. Bought 2 aux cable no sound when I use my Z2 but other phone works. My thoughts is about the Z2 Waterproof thingy just a guess. So if anyone found a fix on this let us know.
Thanks!
I have no issue with AUX. maybe something has to do with the car?

Hi guys,
I'm actually having the same problem with you. I have tried different cables and cigarette lighter adapters on different cars.
I can confirm that neither charging nor aux cable works for me on the following cars: Mercedes C180, Renault Clio, Honda CRV, Ford Focus.
However, both the aux and charging magically worked on a Land Rover Defender (1973), connected to a mediocre Pioneer player. Also I do get a tiny bit of charge from the Merc's USB player port, probably for powering usb memory sticks, or players. But it is so slow it just slows the battery depleting rather than charging (better than nothing on a very long road trip I suppose, but I worry that it might hurt the battery in the long run)
I also do not get any music, if I use anything else than Sony's Walkman app when connected via Bluetooth. So i suspect this might be a software problem (perhaps to do with "throw" ?)
Anybody found a solution to these problems? Do any of you guys run the Z2 with a custom rom? if so, which one? because I'm thinking about installing a custom rom to see if that will help?
Also working fine for me. I use it daily with Viper 4 Android sound mod on stock and stock based Roms. D6503
Sent from my D6503 using XDA Free mobile app
Hi guys,
I hate to resurrect such an old topic. I don't know if any of the other people are still using their Z2, or moved on to another device. I've recently had to replace my 3.5mm jack because it died on me. Would not work with headphones, let alone an aux cable on a car. Turns out, a replaced 3.5mm jack fixed the problem for me. So unfortunately, it is highly likely that we're having a hardware issue (something perhaps you guys can get checked out through Sony).
I have no updates on the 12V charging issue. My phone charges all ok up until it hits %30-50 (depending on how many amps the 12V charger is), than it acts as if there is a loose contact.
I hope this helps some of you people.
Hello there.
Today I've noticed that the left speaker of my headphones doesn't work when I plug them to my Mini Pro. I moved from CM10.2 to SJB 8.0 and found this out while testing stuff out. It's been some time since I've used my phone as a music player last time, but I never had any problems like this. Reverting to CM didn't help either.
I can't really find out whether this is a hardware or software issue. I think connector isn't dirty, wiggling the plug doesnt make any difference. Is there anything more I can try, besides flashing stock firmware? Did anybody have a similar problem?
EDIT: I've connected my PC to the phone as a BT headset, both channels work fine there.
What headphone do you own? Most new headphones with mic won't work correctly on 2011 xperia. Those new headphones use CTIA, our phone uses OMTP. Long story short, you can only use stock headset or the ones without mic. You could buy OMTP to CTIA converter though. Look up on eBay.

I use only standard stereo headsets, namely Creative Aurvana Live and Creative EP630.
They looked compatible to me. Maybe cleaning phone jack with alcohol would help, I don't know. Sorry

Thanks for your input either way. I have tried cleaning the jack with isopropyl alcohol, and also just in case left the phone without battery for some time (because why not).
The strange thing about this is I'm getting absolutely no sound whatsoever on the left channel, while the right one works like a charm. If i'd get any noise while moving the jack around, it would be pretty obvious sign of bad soldering, and therefore a HW problem.
I still struggle with this problem. I have tried downgrading software to stock GB, didn't help. I've took it to some service centre, the folks there have replaced the jack, but it didn't help either. I wonder if i should pump any more money into this.
