3.5mm to miniusb - Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories

I have a 3.5mm to miniusb adapter that came with my wife's Motorola SLVR. I tryied to use it with my Kaiser but it doesn't work. Can anybody tell me why it's not working? Is there something that I have to enable on my phone?
Thank you.

The motorola adapter uses different pins so it won't work on the kaiser, sorry

Exactly. You'll need a HTC specific adapter.

Try ebay.
I originally had the simple USB to 3.5 adaptor but I couldn't charge the phone at the same time.
You want something like this .

I confirm that on my Kaiser..the Motorola charger works fine on the Kaiser. This is probably the most reason why people also assume that the stereo adapter from the Motorola SLVR or L7 or any model would work fine. However the pin is supposed to be 11pins so you would need a different one. You can find one from the xda-developers shop or on ebay or amazon.com at around $5 +shipping would make it $10

Thanks guys for all the replys. Everything is clear now.

Be aware though that these don't seem to work on all roms, on Dutty's from the 16th it just works as a headphone adapter for me, the remote doesn't function :-(
I've tried a few of the HTC audio drivers to no avail, a few needed hard resets to recover from (yes I know most of the cabs are for different models but... ).
If you just want a headphone adapter a cheap ebay one would be the best option and use the rest of the money towards some decent headphones.

I'm using this one, it works fine. You can charge or sync while using the audio output.

@ajs007
Just thought you might want to know you can get that headset off ebay for like £15 delivered!
Thats what I'm going to do when I get paid, its from Hong Kong so a couple of weeks for delivery but its half the price!
Here's a shop whos selling it if you want one, they seem identical just have Dopod wrote on them instead of HTC!

Only problem with this one is if you get a call while listening no mic to talk.

+1...been using with my Tilt for awhile now without problem

Just bought this one:
It looks better than the one above.

Note: The above one will not work correctly
I have the same one as Kraize92 and it worked great for a month or two. Now I have to wiggle it in and keep it pushed in in order to work.
Junk!!!
Any other long term suggestions?
Thanks

The problem is that I bet your plastic came loose around the miniUSB part, so just pull it out a bit and apply super glue around it and then it should fit snug and you won't have to wiggle it in and keep it pushed.

The plastic at what part
What plastic part?
Are you talking about the plastic on the adaptor or the phone? I would like to get this fixed.
Thanks

I had bought that big one with the three outs before, totally sucked for my kaiser, had to push it down for it to work, then I bought the simple seidio one, miniUSB to 3.5, and works flawlessly. For those wanting to connect decent headphones to it and not having a big piece of plastic with three outs that you ain't gonna use, I recommend the seidio one

charging capability while using the headsets
I agree …The simpler the better. BUT I like the charging capability while using the headsets.!!!
Thanks

Mine just arrived. I love it so far. No problems.
@stress_analyst
Did you check and see if your USB port on your Kaiser is out of place? Because that could cause you to wiggle it before it gets a good connection.

3.5mm Stereo Headphone Adaptor mode.. all by me

I know this isn't that big.. but it's better than paying 14 $ for PPC Techs for the adapter.. it barely costs 1$
http://www.expansys-usa.com/product.asp?code=113091
you will need a cable containing 3 mini lines inside...
you'll also need a 3.5mm and 2.5 mm plugs...
with basic iron soldering you can get this to work... and I have great sound quality
check out the pics
and the resuts are :
Hope this will help
PS: sorry for the low quality of the photos, but these were taken with my JAM..
cheers
and these some new high quality photos
NIce :lol: :lol:
good job...
Will this be compatible with the Xda mini and/or xda IIi ?
Why border? Many *local* electronic shop sell it for about US$3-4.
I got mine at RadioShack (http://www.radioshack.com/product.a..._name=CTLG_007_002_001_001&product_id=274-397)

anyway I had fun.. .. that is what counts
cheers :wink:
Nice job
But i think its a not so good alternative to my bought adapter.
In german is an shop named Media Markt they are selling a
cournerd plug for 5€.
I think a cournerd 2.5mm plug is better than yours to wear the MDA in
the bag.

dude... all i said is how to make such an adapter.. I did not say it would be better or worse, since I have not used the pre-made one be4...
I think a cornered 2.5mm plug is better than yours to wear the MDA in
the bag.

as for the cornered 2.5 adapter...I agree. it would be better to use it instead of mine... however, I searched for an adapter like the one you mentioned.. but I found nothing, except for a very small white 2.5 mm adapter.. and I couldn't use it!
BTW.. you should have seen the ( prototype ) adapter I made be4 this one... it was a JUNK, but it worked ... I was just trying to see if I'll get a mono sound or stereo... since somebody ( here or in HoFo ) said that 3.5 adapter will give mono sound only :!:
anyway.. I got stereo, that's why I made a new one...
thanks a lot man
if only you are in the Philippines, I can sell you a good quality converter cable just like what you made and the 2.5mm plus is a L-type that won't extend out .
it cost merely 300pesos, in case anyone in the Philippines need one, just pm me, I am very happy with it and I even use my mini to play mp3 on my car stereo using it

I could not find anyone locally who supplies stereo converters, so I made my own after seeing this thread! Works great!

audio only dongle?

Lack of 3.5mm sucks and the supplied dongle has too much stuff that ill never use most of the time - do they make aftermarket dongles with audio only ever for HTC devices? It seems one could make it pretty small and sleek and out of the way...
thx much

I'm using this one, because of the charging capability. Works on tilt and fuze.
http://www.semsons.com/2miusband3st.html
I had both.
The second one (with the block connector) is really stupid.
After you plug in your stereo headset, you can't pull out the stylus anymore as it blocks it.
I went back to buy the cable (in the first link) as it is very handy.
Haven't tried the motorola one, but looks clunky.
What's the build quality of these adapters? I bought a similar 3.5mm adapter for a samsung phone on ebay and the build quality was crap--cheap plastic housing that I had to superglue within the first few days. Granted, for $5, one can't expect much and doesn't stand to lose much.

I used that on my tilt. It's alright. I don't like it. It cuts out sometimes and the sound starts coming from the speaker. I absolutely hate it. It sounds like crap compared to the dongle that came with my fuze. So I'm planning on ordering this:

I'm only ordering it because I don't charge my phone anywhere except at it's cradle (which has a 3.5mm output) and when I'm sleeping in my room (then it's hooked up to the audio dongle), so this is mainly for on the go. It looks good. I'll post pics and a review if I do get it.
I got the same one too... Dont plan on using the stylus in the car too much so that wasn't an issue with me. This plug looks sturdy from what I see.. My main issue with the stock plug that came with the phone was its demented behavior when not used with the charger plugged in.. I use this phone similar to my old Moto Q (sound source aux in). When i left the charger unplugged to the charger, no audio would come out of my car stereo..I thought hmm. defective plug.. Take it inside and the audio comes out clean from my headphones.... I then thought lets plug in the charger to see if that cures the issue.. Well it didn't entirely.... I got that lovely alternator whine you get with cheap audio installs. I had to pull the audio plug slowly out of the adapter to get the sound right and even then it slips and I can hear alternator whine...
Please plug be the fix...............................

True. And if the stylus thing is REALLY an issue, I'll take it apart and just switch the usb port.

Video out USB with remote... $19, shipped

Has anyone seen this?
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.22025
It is made for HTC Diamond, but if it really works, I think it should work for Touch Pro/Fuze as well... I doubt my Fuze will fit it thou, but I have a connector for it.
For the price, I would love to give it a try.
This is nice too: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.22026
but I don't need it, since I already have 2 batteries
Those are nice. I am really thinking about getting the battery charger.
does htc diamond even have a tv-out option?? i'm really sure it doesn't.
as far as I know only touch pro has TV out. I might be wrong too.
can anyone tell me if the av cable will work with the orignal adapter? cause i won't want to carry around the big dock all the time.
I have the Fuze, and downloaded the video out Cab off this forum. I used the Ipod cable which looks like the one in the picture with the Fuze supplied adapter.
I have a TV-out cable that i got from expansys for my verizon TP. My buddy has a sprint diamond and my cable does not work with his phone. Plus the picture of the dock looks like a TP not a diamond.
Im buying that thing tomorrow.
Just had one shipped out today. Ill let you guys know how it does. btw, it says it will take 14 days.
I use dealextreme often. When they say 'ships in 2-5 days' they actually mean 'we might get round to shipping it in a couple of weeks'. This is because they hold no stock, they get the items in once they have been ordered.
But they always ship eventually, and there are some great toys on the site.
i ordered this on 3/28 in the evening and was finally shipped out today according to the tracking site it left hong kong today just to give you guys an idea on the shipping.
I Lol'd. A lot of things are wrong with this cradle guys. You should've seen it. First off, that is the worst remote I've ever seen. Second off, it shows a diamond on the box. Thirdly, there is a white iPod cable pictured. Lastly, The TouchPRO tv-out is always in landscape! how do you plan on using landscape like that? (I don't care that it's a cradle It should be in landscape. I guess you could say the original htc cradle is like that too, but I guess that's why I didn't get that either.
Does the battery really work with the Touch Pro? It says 11 pin usb and thats what the pro has but is it the same layout?
i got mine a few days ago item is as described, works well with my fuze. now the cons are that the phone is quite heavy for the dock so it just rolls forward or backwards unless you have it straight up can't angle it without rolling, and i hate the fact that the connections are in front rather than having it on the back. so what i did was dissasembled the docking station and flip the lid backwards that connects the phone and cut out the front (which is now the back) where the usb pc cord connects to so now when i dock the phone its got support and is at a perfect angle and the usb connects are on the back. i took pictures of the dock station with my phone but don't know how to upload it here, let me know how please to show the pictures. thanks
ok i figured it out

USB to Microphone Jack...will it work?

The headphone jack has the ability to accept a headset with a microphone. It works great. As far as usb, I haven't any idea. But I hope that knowing about the jack will help.

That does help...unfortunately I would like to use a Logitech headset that utilizes both a headset and mic input separately. Would a splitter work with this? For example this item -> http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-F8V234...WQSR/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1319923903&sr=8-2 or this item -> http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-F8V234...7RC4/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1319924488&sr=8-8 (what's the difference between these two?)
Thank you!
Other than the colors there isn't really any difference between those two.
And sorry, those won't do it. I've included a pic below. If you will notice that there are three black bands on the tip of this one vs the two black bands on the tips of those others. That extra seperator is for the microphone.
This should do what you are wanting. If you can get a good enough look at the photo you should see a headset icon and a microphone icon on the female ends. It is a bit more expensive. But I didn't search for price, just the item. You can probably find cheaper at monoprice.com or maybe Ebay... Good Luck.

You do realise that the tab has a built in mic, right? but I can understand if you want something with a bit better quality. Might be worthwhile checking out USB headsets too, but can't guarantee they will work on the A500. If you decide to buy one, make sure the store has a good return policy just in case.

[PSA] The OEM Universal Dock Scratches the Back Cover

I just noticed this on my Note. It's not bad and you can't see it unless you look for it but I'd imagine it would get worse over time.
Here's the problem. The Note moves as you're using it in the dock and the stand is hard plastic so it leaves abrasions.
Here's the fix (from Lowe's)
I use the OEM dock and am not seeing any abrasion, yet, but thanks for the tip.

I use it also and don't see any but I think I will apply these just to be safe. Thx BH
What is the universal dock capable of other than acting as a stand? How much n where can you buy them from?
I have three of the docks and my Note spends a lot of time in them. That may be why I'm showing more wear than you guys.
I got mine at MacMall for $29.99 all in. Shipping is free and 2-day if you belong to ShopRunner. It's pretty much a stand but it has a 3.5MM out jack to plug speakers in to it. The old docks were made to fit each size tablet and provided better support. The new one also has the Note sitting pretty upright compared to the old one. Demandarin, BB has them in stock in Alexandria for $34.99 if you want to see it first.

got mine at best buy and also use an HDMI plug which i piggy back to the back of this. I pretty much do all of my charging on it and moovie watching as well as listen to my music. It was about $35 at BB. I think the HDMI was about $22 on amazon. I will look for a link.
I went and got a notebook 'skin'.. those lightly adhesive decoration sheets meant to put on the lid of laptops and netbooks and carefully cut it to match the Note and stuck it on there... mainly because I'd heard so much about the Note's back being 'soft'.
So the dock would only scratch the sticky.
My biggest complaint about the dock is that you can't charge AND sync at the same time. It would have been nice to have a USB connection on this too.
Since no ones mentioned hdmi output in any of these docks, im assuming because there is'nt one, but just incase, does anyone know or own a compatible note dock with hdmi output?
HDMI would have to run through the charging port via a dongle so a charging dock won't do it without an additional adapter. Any other type of dock you can just flip the tab over and use the dongle.

Ok my mistake...the HDMI was $27 at Amazon. Link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0059UGT1K/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00
and i plug it into the back of the dock above post from Best buy and you can charge while using the HDMI. Infact this dongle will ONLY work if you are charging at the same time....
I've been using the universal dock as a stand for about an hour a day and haven't noticed any scratches, but thanks for posting this! I'll keep an eye on mine. I got the dock at Best Buy (at the time, they were about the only ones locally who had it in stock), because the regular stand I was using didn't accomodate the thin-ness of the Note very well and I was afraid of it landing on the floor one day.

It can be used without the dock since it uses the charging port, as it should.
