XDA IIs custom mount / kit for tomtom 5

http://www.pdamods.com/products.asp?cat=23 have a custom mount for the XDA IIs this works with the wired GPS receiver from tomtom with rj11 cable
However I think the Vodaphone VPA connector is different and I have found it is a different connector, can someone confirm this ?

Can't say, but I do have that cradle from pdamods with my XDAIIs and it works a treat. It needs a little bit of self-adhesive velcro (the soft side) stuck on the inside to stop the PDA from rattling, but otherwise it's great.
I'd be amazed if the VPA is any different as they are all basically the same unit, but it would be worth trying. Sadly, I had a VPA on my desk until last week when I sent it back to Vodafone, but I never tried it in this cradle

I do not think it works, does anyone have a Vodaphone VPA that can confirm, please ??? They seem to have changed the socket

2.5" to 3.5" headphone adapter

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.

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

What is that port/hole next to the USB port?

Just want to ask a simple question. What is that port/hole next to the USB port? I'm considering the Excalibur/T-Mobile Dash and learning about it before buying.
Thanks,
lie_ui

It is the port for the Headset
The port is for Headset with Mic.

Thanks. I thought the Excalibur uses the same USB-port for the headset as well (just like the TyTn). Or it can use both type of headset then as i noticed the USB port is the HTC custom one just like one in the TyTn?

I think they both are for headsets -- in a perfect world there'd be a standard headphone jack on the dash somewhere...

From the internal photos on the FCC OET web site, it doesn't look like the second hole is electrically connected. I think it may just be for connecting a lanyard or charm.

by my device(dopod c720w asia model) it is nothing ,just a hole.

joychui, did you get the game Another World of your dopod c720w ?? I saw that it comes on the phone from asian reviews. I tried getting it but wont run correctly on the usa Dash?
thank you

SPV M600 Headphone Nightmare

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.

Mini USB to 3.5mm audio ???

I have just got delivery of my Asus P320 Windows smartphone. But unfortunatly i have discovered that there is no 3.5 mm or 2.5 mm headphone jack on it. I am wondering if there are any 5pin Mini USB to 3.5mm or 2.5mm headphone adapters, If not, is there anything i could use with windows mobile 6.1 to get music through bluetooth to a small module which I could connect a 3.5mm headphone jeack to. Thanks for your help.

yes their is a usb to headphone jack you can buy
.... never seen a small module but you can stream your bluetooth to a bluetooth headset

Yeah I already have an expensive set of New sennheiser headphones which i do not plan to replace. they are wired so If i was to go the bluetooth route it would be to get a small module which I can connect a 3.5mm audio plug into to convert it to bluetooth signals to my phone.
But you say You have seen 5pin Mini USB adapters, Any Idea where you saw them and where i can get it from,,,, specifically?

Or this looks promising

I am using this one
Works great! Just plug in any 3.5mm headset and you even have call handling and mic on it!

hi,is there anything like that ,that would work on iPAQ 614c?

miniUSB dont carry audio
it's like normal usb a serial digital data transfer std.
thats why htc have extUSB which is miniUSB with analog audio in the extre wires
pc headsets or speakers which use usb are really external audiocards which transfer the
digital data into analog sound
as far as I know no device can use en external audiocard unless it support usbHost which pretty few wmobiles seem to do

ok,thanks,then i'll have to keep on "enjoying" the music with headphones i got with device heh

http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=15367&cat=3078
Should fit the bill for you, Daydeals.com carries a lot of stuff but i was unable to find your phone sadly

Just arch on ebay for a "mini usb to 3.5 jack and it will come up with loads all min haved worked with my tytn and tytn 2 all apart the one i bought which said it fits a motorola razor!!!
Also i have not payed more than about £7 inc postage so far.
Happy hunting.

HI I have the same problem. I have an I-mate Ultimate 8150, I bought it used and when I opend the box I realised that the were no head set or charger.
I'm seeking the polish internet for a adapter 11 pin miniusb - jack 3.5 with no results. I bought an adapter for motorola v3 and it isn't working just like a head set for motorola K1 on miniusb.
I-mate 8150 is very similar to XDA Flame and I think that in those models the sound pins are different do the in the HTC models.
I am looking for some 11 pin miniusb schema (the socket is also used to charge and comunicate with computer).
I've seen an adapter on http://www.imatephonestore.com/accessoryDetail.asp?accMDL=AUDIO_CONVRTR
but i think that the price is too high for such a thing.
Maybe some one knew how to make this adapter or how to remake the motorola k1 headset to work on I-mate 8150
Plaese help me I don't now what else to do thanks

get 11 pin to 3.5 mm
even iam using htc
nd in htc we also have 11 pin jack
i saw one very good converter on :- http://www.amazon.com/Touch-3-5mm-S...tionId=1XM1P73VXKBX6ZQPKN02/mixi-20/ref=nosim
however instead of buying that wt i did i bought a erricsson bluetooth enabled headphones they are cool nd free from entangles nd best part is that even my bluetooth have 3.5 mm jack so i can connect with my car.

Well I bought 2 of 11 pin to 3.5 mm headset adaptor convertor for HTC. Though both are working same but little difference make them very unique. First one is Stereo Converter 11pins to 3.5mm adaptor which simply let me to use my Blackberry curve headset with G1. Other one is cool coz it comes with microphone as well answer switch. I am now using my 3.5 mm headset with G1 and also talking and answering from the same headset converter. Its really cool check this our http://www.fommy.com/accessories.as...obile+G1&cat=Headsets&subCat=Headset+Adapters

Cool I just order one for me the Streo headset adaptor with microphone and answer switch. Along with this I also got 3 in 1 USB adaptor. This one comes with 3 ports to connect 3.5 mm headset jack, 11pins to 11pins HTC adapter and USB connected that can be use to sync or charge G1

11pin is no good, Im looking for the 5pin usb which is on the Asus P320, are there any atall, I have already tried buying a motorola one which has the right connectors but does not transmit any sound.

I have the same phone and looking for the same converter
r there any converters specially available for this phone out yet?

I have AKG's and so youre telling me I cant use them even If I get the USB to audio jack adapter? Also In our store this guy connects his phone to the stereo system in the store with a mini audio (banana plug I think) to the system and plays his music of his phone..can the TYTNII do the same?
BTW, even if I could use the AKG headphones it probably would sound so loud as these are high ohms headphones AKG 240MKII..right? any cheap micro sized headphone amps around?

The mini USB port in asus p320 is actually a 10 pin port (5 on top and 5 on bottom). out of them 5 pins are used for audio and microphone. And others are for USB. Hope this information will be useful for searching 10 pin mini USB to 3.5 mm audio.

I've been using this for my xv6900. It works great.
