[Q] help with music adapter - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi there
I have an Iphone Headphones 3.5mm with 3 black rings
I want to use it with my pc and my sonyEricsson arc but these 2 have a 3.5mm but works only with headphones with 2 black rings
an one can tell me where to find such an adapter? ex amazon or ebay

as I know 3 rings are: stereo headphones + mick
2 rings than...only stereo headphones?
Its strange, I can use both (2 rings or 3 rings) on my arc and on my PC without any problem...
But if you are shure, that 3 rings it's your problem, than I suggest you to buy new headphones, because I've never heard of an adapter that removes the mick, or an adapter from stereo+mick to mono+mick.
or maybe Iphone headphones are compatible only with Iphone? Don't know about that...

cable Stereo Headset for HTC Universal

What would be a good non-bluethooth (cable) stereo Headset that works well with the HTC Universal. I mainly need it for listening to music (so high sound qualitly is important) but still want to be able to answer phone calls from time to time with it.
Use your own Headphones
Hi I got one of those headphone adapters you find on ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/Qtek-9000-i-mat...7QQihZ011QQcategoryZ58544QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
It has a jack right after the microphone so that you can use any headphones you like and still be able to answer to your calls without taking them off.
I mainly use it to connect to my car stereo with a cassete adapter.
You can hear the other talker through your car speakers and talk too,without having to do many movements.You can hear the other party as loud as your car stereos aloud you to
Good Luck.

[Q] 2.5 mm headphones

2.5 headset
I have an o2 XDA Atom Exec and got an o2 in-ear stereo headset with it.
That headset is now faulty, one side no longer works and i cant determine where the problem is.
Anyways, i want an in-ear headphones to use with the pda mainly to listen to audio rather than to make calls.
I tried connecting it with 3.5mm headphones with an adapter but with any movement of the adapter, the pda would automatically stop the audio and load dial the first number on the dialed list. Its very annoying.
I tried both the small stick type adapter and the wire adapter with the same result.
So now i'm after an in-ear stereo 2.5mm headset or a solution to stop it from going to the phone mode.
Any help ?
Thanks
is it work fine be4?
perhaps There is some short circuit in your headphone itself or maybe in jack port. trying use another headphone to identify the problem
oftenly headphone for mobile has 4 intersection in its jack. and common music headphone only have 3 intersection, I think use the 3 intersection jack should be fine
you can use the nokia 2.5mm headsets. they are like the OEM ones but they sound better. they both use the 3 ring jack, instead of the more standard 2 ring jack.

Headset Quickie

Hi,
I'm due to pick up my touch pro 2 tomorrow. Just wondering if someone could describe the headset that's included with the Unbranded model from Mobilesdirect.com.
Is it an all in one headset or is it a Miniusb adapter that I could plug in my own wired headphones. Whats the quality like?

Yes, there are such adaptors. You'll find tons of them on ebay. The great thing about the Note is that both Samsung/Nokia and iPhone/HTC adaptors ( and handsfree earphones ) will work on it.
It's pretty cool how they managed to achieve the ultimate earpiece compatibility for the Note.
The compatibility is not 100 % for iphone model cables.
I have not succeeded in making the volume button work on the galaxy not, the mic is okay though.
the point is i don't want to waste money on adapters just to find out they will not work
after some reading i stumbled upon the sony ericsson mw-600, which is compatible with the note

Wired Headset

I brought the AT&T version of the Glide and it didn't come with a wired headset. I've tried a headset for a Galaxy S, but the buttons didn't work. Could anyone with the Rogers headset ( I think it comes with one) share the model number, or if anyone else has a working let me know where I can source one?
Thanks!
I have the headset in my hand that you are mentioning but I do not see any model number anywhere to help you out. All I see is a Samsung logo on each ear piece as well as a Large L or R. On the Wire where it splits from 1 to 2 wires (1 for each ear) there is a small Made in China written on it. No other writing can be seen.
Damn, thanks anyway

Good idea except it is slightly more expensive....Depends on the person's budget.
i think you can get a sony one for under 50 dollars torugh ebay. and its prety good. and the model that i have i can exgane the ear plug it self to other earphones.

Interesting I did not know that the PLAY and Forward/Revers works from a Wired headset. That is good to know.
Thanks.
I bought these Samsung earbuds and use them along with Jays Headset Control from the Play store. Thanks to the app the one answer button can handle all music controls and even initiate voice actions.
Here are some from Samsung:
http://www.shopandroid.com/samsung-ehs60-35mm-stereo-headset/11A29A9345.htm
Didn't tried them, but since they're said to be made for the Captivate Glide, they should work.
Finally got around to grabbing the HTC ones and they're working fine. Audio quality is half decent too.
Desire headset isn't working on calls for me. I hear fine but the other side says the sound is terrible.
Hope this helps
Samsung galaxy one and newer Samsung phones use two different 3.5 mm jack
The newer jack like on gs2&3 are more standards. The remote doesn't work because on gs1 it's wired different.
As of today
Samsung
Htc
Sony (not Sony Ericsson)
Use the same Standards 3.5mm jack
So of buy a htc ear headphone it work on all 3 companies
( i don't know about other companies)
The model no of the headset that comes with captivate glide rogers is GH59-10419E.
Any mention of headset in the glide manual talks about micro USB.
(Drowning in google search results, most of which don't apply [Why do they assume if you want an adapter you want a crappy / cheap earbud headset too?]. So posting here to start from a list of those who have a glide and specific experience!)
Messages here seem to indicate that standard 3 connector, 2.5mm cordless phone headsets work. Can anyone confirm?
(I tried a friend's 3.5mm headset, got audio, but only for media not for anything else, per playing with settings / audio. It also has an additional doohickey / adapter where the headphones plug into a mic adapter, which in turn plugs into the 3.5mm jack instead of the headphones, directly - when using that not even media came through.)
(And even when audio came through, the navigator voice didn't come through, as it did not on a bluetooth headset. I can't hear the navigator across the car - how to get it to play to a headset?)
Source of a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter known to work?
Or 2.5mm to micro usb adapter?
Let alone, pc headset, 2 x 3.5mm, to micro usb adapter?
Thanks for any pointers / good search terms to known good working beasties, drowning in search results.
I need yet another crappy headset like I need ... druther just use one I already know and like and adapt it to the glide.
I'm guessing an adapter would need buttons on it for talk (and / or volume?).
I see on amazon there's a straight micro usb to 3.5mm adapter however I suspect it would be audio only (yes?), and worried that since it's a solid doohickey, not two ends separated by wire, that some end would get easily broken.
Advice, thoughts, experiences?
