T-Mobile Dash 3 in one Headphone Adapter Problem

Okay, so I using a dash on Kavana 6.1 ver: 4.1.13.41
anyways, I bought a 3 in one adapter off eBay the other day with an htc label (supposedly designed for the dash) I also own a regular mini usb to 3.5mm adapter which also doesn't seem to work....the phone will play the music regularly and not pick up that their is a headphone piece connected being either a 3.5mm or 2.5mm though it does pick up if a charger is connected through the 3in one...Could this be the Kavanna could it be the mini usb port? I've tried different headphones...I actually used to listen to music when I first bought the phone when back when but stopped for quite a while....well hope someone can help me thank you!!

i have the kavana 6.1 rom with a 3 in 1 and also a stand alone 3.5mm converter and both work.
its either one of 2 things. 1. you have a hosed mini usb jack on your excalibur ( this does happen from time to time) 2. you have bad adapters not made for the excalibur. I have never bought stuff like this off of ebay, but thats my preference. I bought both of my adapters from here: http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000048&products_id=5314
and here:
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000048&products_id=5414
i know its more pricey than ebay or other sites, but sometimes you get what you pay for.

This is just what i think, i have seen a ton of adaptors that do 3.5mm conversion and they fit in but they do not work, they are for motorola's and other same type adaptor plug in's, so this 3 in 1 adaptor is most likely not an HTC one, ebay is the worse place to buy an adaptor as u can see its probably not an HTC capible adaptor.
Buy Adaptors only from HTC if u wanna be 100% cause anything else is not 100%
Or in person so you can test.

i have bought from ebay for cheap $1.9 (usb to 3.5mm) and they work fine.

well you got lucky not like our fellow poster, there are a ton out there that are fake ones that wont work, just wanna stay away from those anyway you can.

Amazon is where i get my stuff from. I never had any problems with anything.
Hey I got a question for yew folks:
Does the motorola usb headphones work on the dash? Im an audiophile and cheap sounding headphones (like htc's) drive me nuts. The motorola ones I had for the razr and slivr sounded pretty good but I would like to know for sure if they work before I go and spend my money on a pair.

Thanks for all the replies everyone, first off Pudge what was that you said about the mini usb being bad? (how does that work exactly?)
...PPC I think I'll definitely have to stop by the T-mobile store today see if they carry H.T.C. headphones try those out..
..Phatman I have read somewhere that yes you can use the Motorola on the Dash (but it might of been just the bluetooth ones...possibly..)

well actually its not really about the mini usb port being bad, but more of it being stuck in one mode or another. i have seen people here post that the mini usb always being stuck in the headphone mode or never going into headphone mode no matter what. either way, it doesn't prevent you from charging the phone, just that it prevents you from utilizing the port in all the ways that its capable of performing. Usually i've seen the only fix being replacement of the phone (unless you're really good at replacing internal components of the phone yourself).

What's the thread title "I bought a 3.5mm adapter rom Ebay & it works"
All pudge was stating is that you take a chance when buying something off ebay not all 3.5mm jacks are the same many manufacturers of phones make the connection slightly different. "You will see the black bits on the plug they can be moved about" <- Simplified
No need to post i got one and ok

Right channel of headphone jack not working. USB workaround?

Hi guys,
I was wondering if you could help me out some? A few days ago, out of nowhere seemingly, the right channel of my headphone jack on my GNex stopped working. I've checked it, and it's entirely clean, and I've cleaned the contact with rubbing alcohol. I can get the right ear to work again if I push the headphones to the right. I know for sure it's not the headphones I'm using either, as they work on other devices, and I have the same issue if I use other headphones too.
The phone is out of warranty, so I can't send it back.
I was wondering if there is a micro usb work around for this. I know you can get Micro USB to 3.5mm adapters, but I don't know if they work on android phones, or even the Galaxy Nexus specifically.
If anybody could give me a hand, your help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.

Did you try a different rom/kernel? Some kernels have broken the headphone jack for me in the past so its worth consideration since you don't have a lot of options.

It's stock, and nothing about the device has changed since it was working. I think it may have been the earphones being yanked out of the phone when they got caught.

My previous phone (droid x2) had a failing headphone jack, so I bought this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B005OW4AZK/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1357612799&sr=8-1&pi=SL75
Even though my new galaxy nexus has a perfectly working headphone jack, I still use the jabra street 2 about 90% of the time. It's great at the gym also. I can just leave my phone in my bag and only have to carry around a device the size of an ipod nano.

Cheers. That'll work if I can't use a microUSB to 3.5mm adapter.
Does anyone know there are any of those that work with the GNex?

USB Audio not working?

Hi guys!
I haven't found any thread on this topic, excuse me if there is one after all!
So, I bought a P2 two days ago and am very very happy with it! My only problem at the moment is, that it seems to not deliver usb audio. When I plug in my Fiio E07k DAC, It will charge through the phone but the phone won't output music. I tried it with Neutron and USB Audio Player pro. With my Nexus 6 before that, I just plugged in the AMP and everything worked. I could even define an app starting when the Fiio was detected.
WIth the Lenovo it doesn't work at all. I tried it with the cables I normally use and also with the supplied USB OTG adapter. No luck.
Please help! I'm locken and unrooted on Stock Nougat 7.0
Cheers,
MoWe

Today, I got a replacement unit from amazon. USB Audio isn't working either. Also it was much worse build wise, so I will stick with my first unit for now.
Could somebody check, if usb audio works with a custom rom and is just a problem of the official rom?
Cheers,
MoWe

Update.
In the Lenovo forum, I got the answer from a Motorola tech agent, that a USB Headset worked great for them through the bundled OTG Adapter.
Is somebody here, who can verify this? I haven't got an USB Headsets.
And maybe there is somebody who has a USB DAC of any kind at their disposal and would try it out... That would be very much appreciated!
Cheers,
MoWe

Hi Guys!
Here is an update!
Today I was in a local HiFi store which is the only one in Hamburg to sell Fiio equipment, I know of.
I tried out different USB DACs on my Lenovo P2. An Audioquest Dragonfly red, an Oppo HA-2SE, Chord Mojo and a second USB Stick kind of DAC I can't remember the name.
The two USB Stick DAC worked flawlessly right from the plug in! Perfect!
The Oppo was recognized and charged but I could get any music routed through it and the Chord Mojo did the same as my fiio, nothing.
So I summary, USB audio works in the Lenovo P2 but only with certain devices. The drivers seem to be modified from the stock google drivers in this regard.
Hope, the update helps some people!

Type C Port somewhat broken ?

Hello Mi6 Owners
Im quite happy with my Mi6, but ive noticed something which is very bad.. Since Mi6 doesnt have a headphone jack it ships with an adapter.. Well I've lost that original adapter, and then a few days after i lost it ordered an replacement.. That replacememt worked for a few days, but the cable on that one was pretty flimsy, so it kinda broke amd i returned it.. Then i ordered some nice looking cable, and i plug it in, and it doesnt work at all, no headphones recognized and no sound coming from them.. So i thought the cable was trash and i bought one from a quite known brand where i live, in a local store here, and again it doesnt get recognized.. But i noticed (Note that all cabled i ordered said, they were compatible with the Mi6) that when i plug the headphones in the plugged in adapter, i get some weird noises, like when you rotate a 3.5mm jack in its port, some weird sounding noises, but thats all noise i get out of it... So is my port broken ? Charging works completely fine.

That's a weird one.
Hopefully its not broken as it seems to be okay with everything else.
I have no expertise on this but I have two suggestions that won't hurt you.
1.a. If the phone isn't playing music from the speaker then it has detected the headphones. It sounds stupid but on MIUI if you put the phone on silent the volume of music goes to 0.
Double check you have turned the volume up a bit and not on 0.
That's the kind of thing I would make a mistake about....
1. Use something very thin and very gentle (don't scratch anything) to clean out the port. It could be a piece of dust or something.
2. Does the port work for data transfer to a PC? If so then the data pins of the port are working.
3. See if you can borrow someone's adapters. But remember different manufacturers switch around the pins inside the phone and adapter to make only their adapter work on their phones. Its actually really awful they can do this as the whole point of USB C is to standardise everything....
Mine however works with the google pixel adapter so some of them will work

Hello, thanks for your reply
1. Its not getting detected.. So i plug them in, the sound goes through the speaker, as if no heaphones are connected.. The only sound i get from the headphones is when i twist them around in the adapter, a bit, like some weird noises, but definetely not from the music playing (but the adapters ive boight clearly say they are for Mi6)
2. Data Transfer works without problems.. Pc detects it and can copy files in both ways no problem

Those USB-C to 3.5 are a NIGHTMARE, mine was acting like the one you have... if you headset has a detachable 3.5. You can buy a usb-c to 3.5 so you avoid any adapter..... But in the end is cheaper just to get some cheap BT headset. Jbl, Phillips among other sell BT headset for not a lot of money.

Hello, i own a xiaomi mi6, but my model was with main MIC damaged so i have replaced It. Now main MIC works fine and charge working too. The only thing that does not work is the audio output of headphones. Can someone help me please?

Question Usb Type-c headphone adapters

Hello all,
I recently upgraded to the s22 from an S10 and all is well and I'm pretty happy with the phone. The one issue I didn't think about is the headphone port. I've tried adapters and had problems with them all. The sound quality was decent on one of them. The biggest problem is the phone seems to go crazy with phantom screen taps random song skips and volume going down by itself. This happened with any adapter I tried. Has anyone had any luck with a certain kind of adapter and can recommend one? I have no issues with charging or other adapters like hdmi.
Edit: I got one that works really well so they are out there, just don't buy the cheap phone shop ones I guess.

Samsung's. If that doesn't work there's another issue.

I got the Apple USB-C to 3.5mm adapter; $10 from Best Buy. It works with no problems on my daughter's S22 and my S22 Ultra.

Thanks, I'll have another look. Now I know they are not all terrible.

No worries. It also works with the Tab S7.
Ironically, the USB-C to 3.5mm adapters that shipped with older Samsung phones and tablets like the Tab S5e, don't work with the S22 series.

I've used the anker one's and they worked fine too.

I'd suggest an apple usb c to 3,5mm adapter. Definitely best sound quality. But due to the way how android handles usb dac drivers - you will need special apps to play audio with good quality. Hiby music is a free app for example, you need to enable exclusive usb audio.

Its a good option but it'll not give you full power if its not an apple product, the samsung one is the best for the s22
