Does Galaxy Nexus have a combo audio connector?
Combo connector (aka iPhone/Apple connector) is a connector that bundles input(mic) and output to a single 3.5mm connector instead of two separate connectors. That would allow headphone to use GN's 3.5mm connector for input and output.
I'm thinking about buying a mobile headset and this would affect my decision. Though headsets with combo connectors are pretty rare.
GN does have a combo audio connector.
I connected a headset with input and output connectors to GN using combo audio adapter. I recorded audio clips with audio adapter connected and disconnected. Difference with external microphone was obvious.

Hi,
I recently got a car and and want to use one of those cassettes with the cables coming out on it to exercise my grand plan of outputting the audio from my XDA II to the car stereo.
So what I need to do is have a cable that works along the lines of 2.5mm male to 3.5mm male / female.
I have tried modding a spair XDA II handsfree kit I had, removing the head phones and tieing a 3.5mm male jack to it (so that I could retain the mic and dialing abilities) however there was no audio sent down the line in tests.
Is it possible to buy something that meets these requiremnets? (although I would like to retain dialing ability). Or is there some sort of guide somewhere?
You can buy an adapter at www.expansys.com
thanks for the link, I'd like to retain the calling ability tho , hence my wondering bout modding a set of ear phones...
you can get an adaptor which connect to the xda
and have a dongle with
1 mono jack for mic
and
1 stereo mini jack for lineout to pc, stereo, speakers or what ever
There is a very cheap and simple wireless rechargeable device called a Car Baby, this clips over the speaker and outputs all audio to a free fm channel on the radio, no cables to plug in, it also serves as a handsfree for the phone. Look on ebay and search car baby.
audio output
hi..i have an xda2, which sits in my modded xda car kit cradle, and there are is a jack plug [fem] with the kit which outputs all audio..i made a lead which plugs into my aux input, on my head unit, and bought a 1gig sd card, and loaded up my mp3,s...it rocks. on the subject of modding ur headset..that should work.....however, the wires are covered with a laquer...before u connect them...strip them and hold a match under them and burn off the laquer...it will work, i tried it first!
Right, 2 things to check out then, Car baby and the toast the wires method. Roll on this evening...
When checking car baby make sure it is the rechargeable type.
Here is battery type, costs £1.99 plus post

If you get one of these make sure your phone/pda is on low volume when tuning, then adjust until clarity is best, if you have too hig volume on phone/pda it will distort the audio.
3way-stereo to FM transmitter
This works:

You just have to be careful wiring the 4-way XDA jack to the 3-way stereo socket for your FM transmitter
I've got a problem when I plug my HTC Titan into my car stereo as well as cigarette adapter.
I'm also got a kind of custom setup using the HTC Y Adapter with a 2.5mm jack and MiniUSB jack
Audio
Honda Civic Stock Stereo -> CD Changer to Aux Input Adapter -> 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter -> 2.5mm input on HTC Y adapter.
Power
Belkin Cig. Lighter to USB Female Port (From old iPaq) -> HTC Stock Sync/Charge USB cable -> MiniUSB input on HTC Y adapter.
So, when both the power and audio are plugged in, I hear a horrible hiss on my car stereo, not to mention a sound that varies in pitch to my throttle. When I unplug the power, the audio is completely clean. To me this seems like some kind of a grounding issue - to say that the Audio and Power both have seperate grounds, and bridging the two creates a potential difference in the form of noise on my Sound. Also to note: I only hear the noise when the Y adapter is plugged into the phone. With the audio and power plugged into the Y adapter, but the Y adapter not plugged into the phone, It's perfectly clean. I'm kind of baffeled.
The only solution I can think of is to gut the Belkin Power->USB adapter, and providing it from 12VDC elsewhere. I've got a tap directly below my passenger seat where I have a big power inverter tied to my battery. I don't know if I'd hear the same sound by grabbing my power from there.
Anyone with an engineering mindset have an idea? I'm open to suggestions.
You are right, you have a problem with ground.
I have the same problem with a mp3 player. When I plug the audio + power I have noise, just audio is fine.
You may try the inverter as it would probably filter the noise you're getting from the DC power in your car.
you just nead an in car ground loop isolator used for getting rid of noise on the low level signal to amplifiers.They are just a 1:1 audio transformer
Any incar hifi shop or ebay will have plenty.
I have the same problem, with a polaris using standard headphones. I'm thinking the polaris itself has issues dealing with audio+charging
i had the same problem with an ipod charger, sent the car to the wreckers, and woot, problem solved sorry that was no help
Usually happens when the signal wires (mm adapters + input cord) aren't shielded and pick up the magnetic field from the ground resulting in the engine noise. Sometimes, making sure the signal wires are not touching the power cord and keeping them separated might help. I'm not really sure, since I'm a 100% noob too all this. Let me know what your fix is. I'm not too hip on all the car audio stuff anymore, but if you wanna put some hydraulics in your ride, then I can definitely help you out.
more likely the problem is in the phone, so ...
hello, i have a headset that is a microUSB and i'm wondering can i convert the headset with no converter i mean just the cables this is what i have
Does the microUSB allow for headphones like the HTC extUSB did, or is it just for data transfer and charging?
With extUSB, some of the pins were for audio (left, right, mic).
For example, this thread has circuits for building your own hands-free phones/mic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1063267
So I use an aux cable for audio in my car. I can make calls through the speakers this way. Sometimes though the Mic doesn't work and sometimes it does. Does anyone know if there is something that specially triggers the Mic to work?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
Sounds like a loose cable connection. Normally those 3.5mm jacks have 3 or 4 sections on them to support stereo audio plus a mic. If your cable was plugged in and got yanked to the side, it might break some wires in the cable or bend the plug internally (phone or car). But I'm speculating here...got another cable you can try?
Hello,
Does anyone have experience with a 90degrees adapter for the headphone jack? My headsets plug is straight, but it was too expensive to switch to another one.
All adapters I found online have 4 pins in and 3 pins out. Are there other ones or does the inline remote work with this kind of adapters?

Didn't your arc's headset come with an L-shaped plug?
Iam having a good headset with a straight plug which i don't want to miss..
