Hi!
I have this for some time: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938811&pf_rd_i=507846
(Actually, I baught it in a store so I'm not sure it's excatly the same but it looks the same)
Recently, I baught this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Headphone-HTC-VIVA-exclusive-Duragadget/dp/B001LIM8F0/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_2
When I plug the old one in my HTC Touch Cruise and then stereo headphones, to it's 3.5mm jack (without microphone), I can use phone's mic and plugged headphones to talk.
When I do the same with new one I can't use phone's mic. I can hear the other side through headphones but I can't be heard.
What might be a reason for this?
And can I fix this problem somehow so I don't have to unplug headphones each time I want to talk if I'm listening to the music?
Thank you very much in advance!
P.S. FM Radio works with both adapters.
there is no std for 3.5mm mini-jack with mic included
the org spc is only audio out
some headset makers add another ring which don't interfere with the
left, right and ground connectors
but there is no std they can follow
thumb rule is if mic is not mentioned in relation with the 3.5mm adaptor
mic is not supported as they use the pure audio out mini-jack std
thumb rule 2 is if mic is mentioned but it's not the same manufactures
in both end they may not implement mic in 3.5mm the same way and it will
only work with audio out
Thank you for your quick answer but I'm not sure you understood me.
I do not use external mic.
In first case I use 3in1 adapter and my stereo headphone with 3.5mm connector without microphone.
In second case I use this simple in-line adapter and same headphones.
In first case, during call, I can hear the other side through headphones, and the other side hears me through built-in-phone microphone.
In second case, during call, I can hear the other side through headphones, but other side can't hear me.
In both cases FM radio works well. I mention this because I saw that mic and FM antenna are on the same pin in USBext (if that's important since I don't use external mic)
about fm then all it needs is an antenna connected to to it
any stereo maybe even mono connected with a wire will do
heck you can cut off the airplugs from a cable and use it for fm
normaly when one connects a headset speaker and mic on the device itself
are muted
even if it's a headset without mic so cool that your fist case works at all
This first one adapter is original HTC. It has 2.5mm, 3.5mm, USBext for data and charging and USBext for headset connectors. And unfortunately it is too big for any other use except in car (to connect to car's audio aux input) or at home (to connect to home AV reciever).
So I baught this cheap simple in-line adapter. And it is suprisingly well built. And it works great as stereo adapter. Only problem is that it turns of microphone.
Anyhow I did some additional testing.
I tried SE Xperia X1 since it has built in 3.5mm connector. and it works like this first one. That means microphone works.
I also tried plugging this first adapter into my touch cruise and then plugging this second adapter into it's USBext for headset. The result is the same as if I plug second adapter directly into touch cruise. Microphone doesn't work.
Interesting thing is that in all cases (including Xperia) when I listen to the music with external headphones soudn comes only out of them. But when phone starts ringing sound comes from both headphones and from built-in-phone external speaker.
!!! Maybe the most important thing is that microphone doesn't work even if only second adapter is plugged into the phone, without headphones plugged in it.
Obviously this second non-HTC adapter doesn't work as HTC originally planned that kind of adapter to work and now I need a way to fix this.
It seems to me that this adapter is maybe stereo adapter with mic, but I don't have that kind of headset to try it. And if I had it I'm not sure it would be the right one since there's no standard for them.
As I see it when I plug in adapter phone somehow detects it and changes some registry key which mutes microphone.
Does anybody know what to change in registry so that phone doesn't mute microphone?
Or how can I see what changes in registry when I plug in the adapter?
Do you think if I manage to fix this, will that affect bluetooth headset also?
Thank you very much for any help!
Hey guys.
Last week I broke my earphone jack plug's tip inside the earphone socket, my loudspeaker was working at that time and that was the only way I could make or receive calls cause the phone jack was stuck inside and the all sound was being sent to my earphone, so I ordered a replacement part for the jackplug and loudspeaker. I cracked the phone open and disconnected that part so I could use the phone's normal speaker while I waited for the replacement part to arrive. When it arrived I connected it and now I can use my earphones again but the loudspeaker doesn't work, not even with the old part, I must add that I used a little bit of plastic to avoid the connection of the loudspeaker and earphone plug to the board.
Can that connection be damaged? but if it is why do I get sound from the earphone but not the loudspeaker? doesn't it use the same connection?
thanks in advance

Lately it is very hard to hear anyone during a phone call through the receiver. Oddly, the sound seems to be coming out of the headphone jack (with nothing plugged into it). I'm trying to figure out if the internal speaker got bent somehow or did the receiver grill suddenly clog? It perhaps dine other options. Any advice?
So I have read about Z5P having headphone jack problems. So mine has started to that today. If I pressed on my headphone jack so hard it would detect the headphone but if I relased my finger it would detect that headphone is disconnected which is still connected.
So I reasearched and found out about soundabout and I tested it and it detects my headphones with it. And I also realised that headjack is a bit loose and my plugged in headphones can shake a little bit inside the jack. So I think this is hardware+software problem.
The think is headphone jack is definitely broken but why does it work with soundabout? Oh also if I shake the jack while headphone is connected it will also disconnect from soundabout but that is not bad as without it (at least it works).
I am also using the m-rom light build will that cause a issue?
I guess this phone is totally dead will never ever get support from someone considering the activity on this forum. Looking forward to replacing this piece of crap.

I replaced the headphone port and turned the problem off and then came back again after using the note that I rarely used headphones

A bit late replay but it seems that headphone jack quality on Z5P is just terrible.
My device headphone jack is having a issue that is it's not recognising the headset/earphones plugged in even when it did recognised the audio is very terrible is there any solution for the problem and how much it costs to get a new replacement for the mobile audio jack
Thanks!
Maybe it is just dirty, google audio jack cleaning
