Hi guys,
I bought an adapter as above to use my regular headphones but I can only hear the right side of the earphones. I've tried using a few headphones and t
all the same. I went back to the shop and the guy said it might be the phone, I exchanged the adapter for a new 1 and the same problem occurs.
Anybody any info on this?
It looks like you have the wrong adaptor. The one you tried was probably designed to be used for the HTC Blueangel or Motorola MPx 200.
The HTC Prophet uses a different 'wiring scheme' for the 4 contact points of the 2.5mm jack. I think this is similar to the HTC Typhoon.
Anyway, if you use the original stereo headphone that come with your phone you can confirm if there is a stereo output from your phone. If this works than it is the wrong adaptor you are using.

Have a look at ebay for an adpater that fits, HTC did not use the "normal" scheme for the wiring - so a special one had to be produced, i did only find it at ebay...
Hi,I've bought one here.It works for spv m600 and qtek s200.

maybe you bought a mono adapter, try with the phone in box when you bought your phone, if no problem it means wrong adapter. Change the other. Good luck.
The one Markdu81 bought works perfectly.
merci pour le conseil ^^

I've already have a 4-pin adapter from my MPX 200 similar to the picture and it only gives mono output so I ordered the 3 pin adapter. It hasn't arrived yet but I'll post the results.

i still havent found a compatible converter. wexim.com is a french site. don't understand it.

Hello again.
I just received the adapter and it's the same as the one I have, i.e. it only gives a mono output.... Either they sent the wrong item or you should order the 4-pin adapter.
Good luck and please post your results...
Hi,
I sell 2.5mm to 3.5mm headphone adapters.
They are US $1.50 plus shipping.
They provide stereo output on the prophet (I know because I also have a prophet).
If you would like to place an order, PM me with your country and I'll let you know the delivery cost.
As an MP3, the prophet is a pretty good device, with quite clear sound. It's best not to have too many applications running while listening to music, or you may experience some static or jumpy sound. I would also recommend you download an audio player that has EQ settings (treble / bass etc) to get the best out of the device.
I bought one from Maplins works fine.

Thanks

Hello,
I’m new to this phone and forum, just getting my head round it. First problem I’m trying to tackle is the frankly awful headphones that come with the device.
Trying to find decent 2.5 mm headphones is not easy, I bought a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter but it’s a bit rubbish and loose and I’m sure it is changing it from stereo to mono. So after hours of research I’ve found some Sennheiser MM50’s. These have an integrated mic and also a 2.5mm 4 pole jack.
Now are these likely to work on my phone as I understand there are different ways that 2.5mm jacks can be wired up?
Thanks in advance.
I guess you will have to try it.
I use some Siedo headphones I got off eBay. They are not brilliant but are better than the supplied ones.
I can't find it right now but I came across this: http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=127646
It's an adpator - that is wired correctly for a HTC 2.5mm sockect and it has a built-in mic. You can plug any 3.5mm headphone jack into it. - Heck - I might get one myself!
Cheers, that doesnt look to bad. I notice that was compatible with the P900 which I think is compatible the Sennheiser MM50’s. So maybe they will be ok.
Do you know if the prophet has a standard 2.5mm 4 pole connector?
Yes, it's the usual 2.5mm 4 pole connector. There doesn't seem to be a "standard" way of wiring them though but the link I gave you should be fine.
It is NOT recommendable, for the Sennheiser MM50 headphones are made for Motorola devices/phones. HTC Prophet appears to have different wiring schema compared to Motorola and the headphones will play only from one channel - unfortunately.
I bought them recently (in spite of warnings on this forum) and was very disappointed to experience this effect. Fortunately however, I was able to give them back to the shop.
I use my old Sony Ericsson P800's headphones and the quality is waaay better. In fact the best non-professional headphones I've had till now were all Sonys.
It has to be Sony.
Have a look at Ebay. Search for SPV M600 and you may find a whole host of accessories. Or search specifically for:
Handsfree Remote/Adaptor for Orange SPV M600/M3000 PDA or
Oasis music adapter for qtek S200, SPV M600, Dopod 830
I have a similar item and it allows me to use any headphones or even connect it to my HiFi. It even has a PTT button and microphone to answer calls - imagine having a phone call routed through your home HiFi!
Hi!!!
Do you know if this one can work with prophet?
http://shop.brando.com.hk/htcstereoconverterwithmicrophone.php
I'm not sure...
i just soldered sony-Groove earpices to it, sounds way better!, modification was pretty easy
Can you post some pics of it?

This one is not compatible with the Prophet. Prophet uses a 2.5mm jack while the newer HTC devices use the mini-USB connection for the headphones. The product in the link that you provided is meant for these newer devices. What you want is a 2.5mm (male) to 3.5mm (female) converter. You can find them at www.expansys.com.
USB adapter. I just love the Elf phone.The only things I am disappointed in is that I cannot plug in a set of external speakers. I cannot plug in to the charger whilst watching a film as I need the socket for the headphones...
Does anyone know of an adapter to enable me to do this please? I could get one made up from the diagram, however I would prefer to buy a custom made one.
Roz
maybe something like this?
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=127184
The Elf has only a USB socket, nothing else... No phono or whatever they call it... For me this is the only fault with a superb little phone.
Thanks anyway.
dont know about the elf but all other newer htc devices have a special usb connector which also carry audio
if your device came with a headset then yours do too
as they device dont support usb host so it cant use any usb devices
nm just saw my link was wrong :S
http://www.expansys.com/htc/p_htc_item.aspx?i=148544
this was the link i ment to give you
3Way USB adapter for HTC Touch/Elf
There is in fact a 3 way adapter available. I found it after a bit of a search. For some reason some of you seemed to think I was looking for a headset. The USB socket on the HTC Touch does not allow you to use anything else other than the supplied USB headset. however I want to use a set of Sony speakers for the sound to play MP3's and as I like to watch films in bed through ORB I like to be able to charge the phone at the same time. The process uses a lot of battery power.
The adapter I found has a stereo jack socket and 2 USB sockets the same as the one on the phone. So now I can plug in my head set and charger or charger and speakers in any form I choose.
If anyone else is interested here is a link where you can buy one for about £12.00 which includes postage: http://www.elitextreme.com/htcto31ad.html
The pictures show what I was talking about...

Oooops! sorry Rudegar I missed your post for it already.
HTC 3 way adapter
No Expansis do not carry one. The link I left earlier does. I have mine now. It is exactly what I wanted. Cost me £12.95. Well worth it.
OK, so this is *almost* what I'm looking for:
http://www.expansys.com/htc/p_htc_item.aspx?i=147569
Does anyone know where to get an 11pin to 3.5mm adapter? One that *only* has a 3.5mm stereo output instead of having stereo+usb output?
Thanks.

Thanks for the find, but will it work even if it's for the TyTN and not specifically for the Touch?
And is it stereo as opposed to just mono?
i would asume that htc dont change the wireing of their miniusb connector flavour with each device it would serve no purpos and would cost alot for htc
i would asume that if stereo is in the miniusb connector when used for normal wired headset it would be using that converter
as it would serve no purpos for the converter to add the eletronics it would require to just take 1 channel and spit it in 2 without lowering the the volume to ½ because of the impedanc
I was wondering if i could grab a normal mini-usb to usb cable, cut the normal usb ending and sold the audio wires to a 3.5mm jack, so to use it with any audio device.
I just need to know wich of the wires inside the usb are the ones wich carry audio?
if i'm able to make it will make a tutorial although my english it's not that good
just so i don't have to break the original wire.
thanks
Not really - it can't be done
Here's the pin-out diagram
http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index.php/2006/09/10/htc_hermes_usb_connector_pin_config
but you would noticed that the "miniUSB" socket on the Touch is actually a 2 in 1 device, a standard mini USB only have the bottom connection which deals with normal data traffic and charging, the top connectors carries the audio which the standard mini USB don't connect to (physically it can't).
But you can buy specially made adaptor to provide USB to audio sold on this site or elsewhere, such device make use of the more special connector to connect with the audio side.
I have 2 of such adaptor, they cost around USD15 a piece. Yes a bit more expensive than normal USB but they look neat
yeah, i wrote the post beforing having my elf, wich luckily was en ELFIN i'm really happy with it, i received it 3 hours ago

I paid mine about 3/4 euros....
Have a look here:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...egory=10364&tc=photo&_trksid=p1713.m153.l1262
And this is STEREO quality....
i'm from argentina so, i can't buy on ebay. The only adaptor here cost aprox U$S 35
that's expensive but it's my only choice
Just purchased my adapter from ebay and got it the other day... Works great. I have it connected to an FM transmitter so that all the audio (mp3's and gps audio) out to my car strereo.
Right after I purchased the unit I looked around and saw one with a built in microphone so I could have made it into a handsfree unit and have the audio go over the car stereo... DOH! I may do the upgrade in the next month. The adapter I got with shipping only cost 8 dollars.

I purchased a mini usb to rca cable advertised for use with the Moto Razr phones. I know that the car charger for those phones works for my HTC. Heck, I could even charge my phone from my PS3 mini usb cables meant for charging controllers.
I received the cable today and I can't get it to work with anything.
Initially I tried it with my car's aux input. No workey.
Tried it on my home stereo. No workey.
I guess my assumption of this cable working for me was wrong. The only way I can get audio out of my HTC is with the supplied headset. Does anyone know how to convert that to RCA instead of 3.5mm?
Thanks.
The regular mini usb cables don't carry audio from the HTC Touch. That's why the earphone's they give you have a different connector, it looks like a mini USB but it's not.
It's easy to take apat the HTC earbuds and splice them to a 3.5mm jack so you can use standard earbuds. I did it and it took less than 5 min. There is another thread about it here somewhere with a step by step and everything.
i hav modified the original hands free, removed the earpieces and soldered a 3.5 mm socket into the call receive / volume adjust part. working fine so far ...
I did the same, but I broke the mic while soldering
Does anyone have the wiring diagram for the elf handsfree so I can know what I am trying to fix?
abt d port
hey.....u get d branded mini usb to 3.5mm jack in htc accessories.........jus chk it out buddy....

There are two types, one is a usb connector and a short cable to a earphone socket, and one is all in one...
I can get them in the UK on ebay for around $5 - add the same again for postage, and I'll get one and mail it to you - Paypal me when you get it... if you want me to, let me know and I'll work out the exact costs.
Here's some links, like I said, find one you want, I can buy it here and ship it for you.

If I am not mistaken, you can do one better - not only you get USB to 3.5, it will include the handsfree clip-on controls (mic, answer button, volume etc), allowing you to use the earphones of your choice. Which was the absolute must for me, because my ears are too small for the regular plugs. Not only that, most earphones included in the box are average quality at best, none will beat Sennheiser anyway.
I got one like that for my LG Prada, because the buggers use proprietary connector, which sucks. Paid $4.50 USD with FREE delivery to New Zealand. Can't beat that, I think. Let me see if the same seller has one for Elf.

Yes, there are a few options - I personally don't like the handsfree adaptop becasue you end up with too many wires in your packet... I use mine with some sennheiser phones with short cable, to make it neater.
I do have a set of Motorola S9 bluetooth headphones which work great, but you do get the very occasional cut out, and you have to remember to keep them charged up....
I think the all-in-one-block adaptor is the neatest for keeping everything tidy and untangled.
i got the A-200 HTC audio adapter it's gr8 ... usb (IN) and 3.5 , 2.5 , usb mini for headset and usb for charger (OUT)
it's really gr8 .. but i have a small problem ... sometimes the voice dailing work by itself !!
i mean the voice speed dail prog works and ask me to say the name to call ,,, and as the music in on or if iam talking ..the device go wiz the nearest voice tag and call !!!
and when i called the service center the told me tht may be the prob, with the adapter!!
anyone have the same prob ?
help........Who have 'iswish'
I come from China, who have the iswish this software? Is it all right to give me 1? thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
wher can I get this in india??
hey, here you are

anyone use this on artemis ?
Work this on mda compact 3 (artemis) ?
http://www.semsons.com/2miusband3st.html
haven't used it, but have used several adaptors with 2 or 3 connectors from the main mini usb - reckon it should be fine
I have one of the 3 port units on a short lead. It does the same job as your adapter and works fine. Your unit is more compact as it doesn't use a lead like mine.
I got two adapters from ebay, one with a built-in microphone and one without, both mini-USB to 3.5mm jack. But on both the sound quality was really bad. The sound was phased or flanged. Using the original headphones not. How can that be? Does anyone know of a small adapter, with or without microphone, that gives good quality? At best one available in Germany and, of course, not too expensive.
I have a mini-usb to 3,5 mm and to mini-usb female cable. this adapter is very useful because at the same time it's possible to hear music and to charge battery. With 3,5 mm plug i can connect any earphone, and when I use a good one like sennheiser the audio quality is excellent.
ok luigug, thanks for that. is it small? i would like to have one permanently in my pocket. would you mind telling me where you got it, possibly with a link?
The adapter is small enough. I have bought it on eBay, the link is this
http://cgi.ebay.it/AAJ-ADATTATORE-S...39:1|66:2|65:12|240:1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
Looks cute. Price is alright too. Unfortunately they send only within Italy. I live in Germany.
I think that you can find a similar product also from other international ebay sellers. It is sufficient to check that characteristics are the same of my adapter.

Hi folks,
I'm looking for a comfy headset (or two) for a TyTn II & Athena 100.
I love the remote here:
http://i.expansys.com/i/b/b150195.jpg
...but hate these type of ear pieces.
Is there anything similar with a headset or that will allow a PC (stereo) headset to be used?
Cheers!
..
ill think you'll find that headset allows you to use different headsets (3.5mm) however i just ordered the htc u110 adaptor ... check that out ?

Yep, you're right, it does!
Seems to be an HC E100 which i just ordered on Fleabay for under 14 quid.
I looked at the u110 but there's not enough buttons on it lol.
