2.5" to 3.5" (With Microphone Ring)

Hi,
I am looking and have been for years! for a converter from my Prophet/Qtek S200 to 3.5". I have so far bought 3 items all of them make my 3.5" headphones have Stereo sound which is great BUT I cannot answer calls! How can I rectify this? Is there a separate Microphone and Headphone adapter that works? I bought one of these and it does not work! I am happy to plug a microphone into 1 socket and have headphones in the other.
I am very surprised as long as these phones have now been on the market that no-one has thought to design such a simple device.
Before anyone says that I could solder one together don't! I am not that way inclined!
I am hoping that the answer to this will help many people in my predicament......
Thanks for reading/helping.
Kind Regards,
Will

Hello,
I use this one in my car. It has a microphone built in, a button to answer call, and 3.5 mm stereo socket. It works with the Prophet. Just ping me if you have more questions.

Changing the 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm
Is there any possible way to physically change the 2.5 mm to a 3.5 mm socket jack. I think the 3.5 is better and more standardized than the 2.5 mm. My prophet has a loose socket.
You toughts...

In theory... You'd need to solder it down, and would need a 3.5mm socket that would fit in with the casings. From what I know, they tend to be larger than that.

What extUSB to 3.55mm adapter that doesn't suck can I buy for my HTC Tilt?

I've seen a few Korean cheap adapters on ebay but they probably won't work or will suck big time. I read that the Tilt needs an 11-pin connector but which one? Has anybody bought one of those, and if so, can I have some links or the names of the stores?
Thanks.
Edit: I meant USB to 3.5mm!

I got two from Radio Shack that worked perfect. Albeit, they were long and I feared for stress caused on the port. That fear subsided when the phoen got nagled and the adaptor itself bent inside the 8125 jack, no damage to the jack, nice HTC.

I meant USB to 3.5mm. But thanks anyway, I'll stop by Radio Shack later.

Can you edit your title? I did not mean USB convertor was at RS, only mini stereo to stereo for 8125, 8525, etc. Does the Dongle use the 3.5 or 2.5 sized? I see two holes matching both sizes but is one for video?

HTC mini-USB to 4 pole 3.5 mm

Is there such a thing as a mini-USB to 3.5 mm 4 pole adapter that works for the HTC Touch? I want to use a 3.5 mm headset with it.

The same one that comes with Touch Pro should work.

Thanks for your suggestions, but is there something that is a bit more compact? Something like this but with 4 poles instead of 3: http://www.amazon.com/Headset-Adapter-PPC6800-Verizon-T-Mobile/dp/B0016D9URO

I have been looking for a 3.5mm headset (not headphones, the ones with in-line mic and the extra terminal), but none of them seem to work with the mic. I have one I got for my hermes a while back that has three inputs - HTC USB, proper mini usb and a 3.5mm headphone jack. Very cool for using with desktop speakers and charging or syncing at the same time, but no use if you are trying to use a 3.5mm headset socket from a Nokia.
However, I just found one on ebay that does seem to work with 3.5mm headsets. Ordered one from the US for £9 all-in, although there are some in the UK for £15+pnp. Search for "HTC Headset Adapter" and they come up.

One comment about these: HTC has started making 10-pin mini-USBs. The bottom row of pins are still used for communicating with activesync, but the top row is now for the audio and mic. Traditional 5-pin mini-USBs do not have the top row; hence they'll only work for activesync and not audio functions.
So if you buy a 3.5mm adapter, make sure it is 10-pin and not 5!

Chinese headset wiring different?

I bought a Chinese phone called a k-touch hornet in v9 and I've been using it for about a week now. Got cm10 loaded on it and apart from the crappy battery life I'm loving it. One particular issue is going to cause me some trouble in future tho, and I'm hoping someone will have a solution better than mine.
The problem is that the pinout for the 3.5mm headset jack appears to be wired differently than I
US connectors. When using it with a US headset, the audio is garbled because one of the channels is grounded, until you hold the mic's button, then it sounds normal. Same effect using the k-touch headset on a US phone.
My conclusion is that the ground pin has been moved to one of the audio channels, and the mic moved to the ground.
I could rewire an extension cable to put the conductors where they're supposed to be, but I'm hoping someone might know where I can buy a pre-made adapter or maybe there is a Longshot chance i can modify the firmware to use the proper pinout.
Any thoughts at all are welcome!

Xiaomi 1MORE earphones

HI all,
I have this type of headphones from Xiaomi:
http://penonaudio.com/image/cache/data/xiaomi/1MORE/1mORE-700x700.jpg
They work perfectly with my nexus, recently I bought another pair, the black version of the same model. The problem is that they are not recognized by my phone, but work perfectly on my Xiaomi MI pad 2 with MIUI rom.
This seems really strange, is a software problem? what can I do?

make sure there is no dust/lint in the headphone jack. check your 3.5mm jack with another set or with an aux cable. i have had to ra my phone due to the headphone jack shorting out and going out (but i extensively use an aux cable in my car)
