Hi,
I'm looking for a way to relay audio through the ExtUSB connector without triggering the headset profile. All 3-in-one / all-in-one 'extenders' seem to have the headset trigger pin conected to ground, so the internal mic of my Kaiser always is disabled and I don't want that.
The real question might even be if it is at all possible to use the audio-out pins of the ExtUSB connector without switching to the headset profile.
Has anyone sucseeded in doing this? And if so, what is the cable/hardware used?
Thanks, cheers,
Cacti

Really interested in the artemis due to its fm radio and Gps....what's the Radio like?...Is it anygood?
I tried the radio on the o2 atom and found it rubbish is the artemis any better?
Also does anyone have any screenshots of the radio app in action
Cheers
FM Radio
Just got my P3300. I have to say after 7 PPC Phones this is by far the best. In regards to your question, the FM Radio is great. Very sensitive and sounds good through the speaker. However, the biggest downfall is that you have to have the headphones plugged in to the USBExt port on the phone. They apparently hold the antenna. The app won't even start unless they are plugged in. This is a major limitation I hope someone finds a work around. Apparently there is a USBExt to 3.5mm jack adapter but I don't know if this will trick the FM Radio software into starting with out the supplied headphones.
Anyway, hope that helps.

Ahhh thats good to know ...even more tempted now
You dot happen to have any screenshots of the radio app in action at all do you?
Thanks
The Radio performance is quite good, one thing I really like is the ability to set the radio going on the channel you want, switch off the Artemis and carry on listening - certainly a power saving feature. If you need to look at a screen shot try see the image below, there are other features such as sleep timer etc, but this really isn't a purchase decision to be honest - Mike
Does it come with 2.5mm or 3.5mm or others for the audio?
Neither, see bwallis post above! the audio is routed through the mini USB OR A2DP Bluetooth, this works very well, but the radio still needs the earphones plugged in as they are the aerial - Mike

Thanks for your information. Can I use BT headset to enjoy the radio instead of the wired headphone?
I don't think so - I have tried the radio running with the device conected via A2DP to the cars system, the Artemis Radio plays through the wired headset while any other noise is routed over bluetooth through the car deck. Even if you managed to get the audio routed to a BT headset you will still need the wired phones plugged in to get the radio program to actually work - Mike
Yep.. if I'm not wrong, the software BlueCast can transfer ALL sounds (incl ones from your TomTom and Radio) through A2DP. But in order for the Radio to work, physically plugging in something into the miniUSB port is a must.
Anyways, does the package come with a mini-USB to 2.5mm jack? or is it 3.5mm? I'm currently using a 2.5mm cable with mic.. and was hoping to use back the same if I were to get this Artemis..
Thanks
FYI, the 3.5 to USB adapter does not work to allow FM radio with your own headphones. It pops an error that you need the headphones plugged in to use the radio. Until a hack is found, you must plug in the supplied headphones.
db
erm do you actually need the headphones to be plugged in, in order to get the RDS/TMC info traffic for GPS softs like Destinator6?
Don't think it does RDS/TMC
is there any register hack that will start de fm-radio program ??
Hi fellas.. Just realised from one of the reviews that the mini-USB connector is shaped differently than the standard symmetrical one. Are they compatible?
Thanks
I confirm ... They are compatible !!!

Hi there!
Anybody knows if the FM-radio has RDS support??
PK
RDS yes but only for the radio station name, nothing else is used - you get the station name when it is transmitted and your headphone leads can pick-up the data - Mike
Hi!
OK, does this mean that AF (alternative frequency) is not supported?

Does this require any special trick ? In my case I can't see any station names ? (I can see them on normal radio). I am using the standard headphone attached.
Can anyone help me with this:
I have always used my PPC's in my car connected to an external audio jack via a 3.5mm headphone connection. Not only did I use this for music, but it also allowed me use my car stereo to hear my callers much louder than the speakerphone was capable and still let me to use the built-in mic of the PPC to talk back.
Enter my Artemis and it's proprietary mini-usb audio jack...
I purchased the HTC mini-usb to 3.5mm adapter from expansys so that I could continue to use my in-car 3.5mm connection. Works great for music and TomTom (Austin Powers is scary loud now when he tells me to turn left!) BUT the built-in microphone in the Artemis seems to be disabled whenever the adapter is inserted in the mini-usb jack! I can't use Voicecommand with it inserted and my callers can't hear me until I pull out the adapter - which then takes away my nice loud car stereo to hear them!!!
Presumably, the disabling of the mic is because the mic in the included headset is expected to be used for calls when the audio jack is occupied. I know my configuration is not "standard," but it works (or worked) great for me and I would love to be able to continue to operate this way.
My question is: can anyone tell me which registry values control when the built-in mic is disabled? There must be a value that tells the Artemis to shut off the built-in mic when the headset is plugged in. I would love to change this so that the configuration I described above will work for me again. I have some trepidation about tinkering with my registry too much when I don't have that much experience with it. I hope there is some registry guru out there that will take pity on me and take on this challenge (if it's even possible).
Thanks in advance!
You'll have problems with something like this... I'd assume that it'll work similarly to the headset antenna registry entry, where on connection of the headset a key relating to the FM Radio software is changed from a 0 to a 1 allowing the application to launch.
There are one of 2 outcomes for you though unless you want to get crafty with a button or something to make the changes for you....
1 - Although you'll be able to change the reg setting, plugin in the usb cable or disconnecting it will simply reset the key,
2 - You'll permanently change it and if you want to use anything other than the handset mic you'll need to undo the change.
I'd say more than likely if it a dymanic key though and triggered by connection or disconnection of the usb cable then option 1 will take effect. I'm guessing that you'll need a button (software or hardware assigned) to control this properly.
Good Luck!
I'm too lazy to read.
Check the state and notification broker. Otherwise you'll probably have to directly interface with the audio driver.

Me too...?
Hi all,
I too want this fix, using the microphone whilst drawing off the audio feed for my vehicle stereo. Can it not be done with a soldering iron & external mic wired into the dongle adaptor?
Thanks Paul

Here is an adapter with microphone...
I suggest hacking a handsfree and making your own jack for the car. this is my plan soon!
Hi All,
I have the same problem with my HTC Diamond. Did anyone have a fix for this yet? As i do not mind changing the registry or if someone wanted to make a little program that would do this i would be more then happy to donate for all your troubles.. I'm unable to hack my fm transmitter as it is a holder aswell... see picture
Anyone with a concrete solution?
This seems to be a hot topic! Are we really sure that adapters with mic are not readily available?
If you're au fait with hardware hacking, haret can probably tell you which interrupts are being used and you can write a solution to poll the irqs that way.

There is nothing to do with Registry Hacking or Softwares in your case...

There is so many ways of soldering of wires (Line IN & Line OUT) using a mini usb to made your PDA more compact...
The built-in microphone in the Artemis or Any other HTC Devices sure have to be disabled whenever the adapter is inserted in the mini-usb jack for the soldering of 2 Line-Out (Audio-Out Left & Right) and 1 Line-In (Audio-In/Microphone) Example: Headset that come with your PDA.
Unless HTC going to make one mini-usb to two cables,one for 3.5mm adapter for headphone and another to Mic.jack or a Microphone itself.
This is quite difficult for HTC to custom a cable or jack for individual need.
I think you have to DIY for your need in this case:
Use the headset that come with your Artemis, the one that have a Mic and mini-usb jack...
Cut away the left & right earphone, soldering the two cables into a 3.5 jack (male or female)
Both this jacks-Male or Female can be found in electronic spare-part shop anywhere.
I'm new in this forum... please cc this Thread to me 'thru Private Messages, so that i can give further help and keep track how the going you guys out there...
So I tried searching but I feel like this is a pretty specific item that I'm looking for so sifting through pages and pages of bluetooth headsets and separate car audio setups was frustrating me.
What I'm looking for is a small mic that I can mount near my sun visor that is wired to a bluetooth receiver that connects to the aux input in my car. This would allow my phone to connect via bluetooth and have a handsfree setup that would play through the car stereo without any wires to my phone and without using the phone speaker or mic. Can anybody tell me if such a system exists? I've been googling different terms trying to find things but the best things I can find are proprietary connections for stereos and I would like to stick with my OEM radio.
Thanks for the help, and I do apologize if I overlooked a topic discussing this.
This any help?
ptp.net.au/comfort_9060smart_ANZ.html
That is close to what I'm looking for but I can't find any that just hook in directly through a stereo aux cable, I don't want to have to hook into the back of my head unit. It looks like some of their products may possibly do this, but it seems like they are more complicated so the price is significantly higher. Still looking. Thanks for the help though.
There are a number of units out there that will transmit over FM frequency. This isn't exactly what you're looking for, but it will do the trick. Instead of running the cable to your Stereo AUX port, just tune your radio to the specific station and you'll hear the audio through you car speakers.
This is what I have:
http://direct.motorola.com/hellomoto/t505/
It also has a loud speaker right in it so you can even use it without the FM radio if you desire. You press a button on the back and it'll search for an "open" FM channel and then it speaks the channel number for you to tune into.
Has the added benefit of allowing you to listen to music if you have it on your phone. Includes buttons on the side to allow you to change tracks backward and forward.
Dunno if your still in search for one but Scosche just came out with THIS. It also does Bluetooth Stereo which is a plus!
Hope this helps
I've been hunting for a solution as well (at least one that doesn't require me to buy a new headunit).
I'd love to get an fm transmitter or direct fm line input that supports a2dp with RDS, and has decent transmit power. The soundfly BT ultimate does most of this, but doesn't have RDS via bluetooth. It's a small detail, but it'd be cool to have. Any ideas?
Is there anyway to enable Mic whilst headphone Jack is in use.
To give a scenario i use my phone as an Aux device in the car, so is there anyway to still be able to take calls whilst it is plugged into my unit (Making it handsfree)
I think this is all to do with the kernel.
Thanks in advance
Hello!
So I have some speakers that I like, that have only the mini jack input cable, which is right now plugged to the TV. What I would like to do is to play audio to these speakers through a bluetooth receiver BUT there is a catch - I would love to have some simple option to switch between TV input and bluetooth input, so that I don't have unplug/plug the mini jack cable each time I switch the source.
Do you know some simple device, that can do that? For now I think that I would need to combine multiple devices, to achieve it, but maybe someone knows the perfect solution for that.
Cheers,
Albert
