Using Alternative Headphones With The Diamond

I have seen a few posts where people say they are using their own headphones with the HTC touch diamond. I have a great set of Bose headphones I bought a while ago. What do I need to buy to be able to use these with the phone, just to listen to my MP3's not the radio obviously.
Thanks,
Roy.

You can buy the RC E100 or a ExtUSB to 3.5mm adapter.
I'm using the RC E100 - it's really good. Although, the cable is very long and then add your headphone length to that and you end up with a VERY long cable.
So I cut mine, resoldered the wires, and then used heat shrink to make it all look nice. Happy camper now.
It took hours and did my head in though.

Thanks the RC E100 sounds good, I checked it out on EBay but they are only shipping from Hong Kong (I'm UK) and I dont fancy that. Where abouts did you pick yours up?

Do you use it on the diamond? Is it working properly (music controls especially)? I'm asking, because it's not listed as compatible accessory on htc.com.

I use it, i bought it from Expansys for about £23 with a £10 off voucher. Just buy one of the Kaiser or Touch ones, theyre all the same item just under a different name on the website.
It works fine, i have some sony earphones that are meant ot be used with a remote so they have a really short lead so they work great with this. You can just leave your diamond in your pocket in standby and listen to music using the controls on the remote.

LOL I have some Sony's that I had to cut and resolder, otherwise they whole thing was way too long. I ended up shortening the cable on the RC E100 too. That was difficult!
I'm very happy with the purchase though and using that plus some good headphones makes the diamond sound really good.

hi guys, i have a question about the rc e100 remote. if you are listening to music with it and the diamond is asleep (ie. screen is off). does adjusting the volume or changing tracks or whatever wake the screen up? for me this will be decider whether i get one or not.

Im glad to tell you no it does not wake the screen up. It acts like a perfect MP3 player, if you turn off the screen and then push buttons on the remote the device will look like nothing happened and the sceen will stay off while still respoding to button pushes.

sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. exactly what i was hoping to hear. thanks m8.

My RC E100 remote arrived couple days ago and I'm using it with my nice Bose earphones. Have to say it works a treat, once I sorted out the bug with the Audio Booster, well just turned the dam thing off. "MAKE SURE YOU DON'T USE THE AUDIO BOOSTER" it's **** but i'm sure you knew that anyways.
I'm going to shorten the cable on the actual remote, plan to do that tomorrow (should be interesting!).
The only other things I'd like to do is maybe install that SRS WOW program, maybe then I can mess around with the music settings, but I've read this isn't working yet with the Diamond, anyone know another music equalizer I can install?
Oh and lastly I spent ages putting what music I wanted onto the internal memory of the phone. Making sure all the tracks we're under the correct artist and album etc. Problem is even tho through the phones explorer shows them as they should be, when looking through windows media player library only a handfull of the tracks are sorted into correct folders. I'e most of the tracks are just under "unknown" this is fairly useless as how am i meant to search for an album by a certain artist? Why aren't they all set-up the way they are in explorer mode? This is frustrating as it means 80% of my music is simply stored under unkonwn artist and then track name!
Anyone come across this on their hanset and knows a way around it?
Thanks guys, Roy.

speaking of mp3 playback, has anyone noticed that every 5 to 10 minutes or so, sound will skip or pause just for a split second. for me this happens on both the audio manager and on CorePlayer. it has also happened with the stock ROM my phone came with (1.34) and the current cooked ROM i am using. would appreciate it if someone knows a solution to this problem, i hope it's not because of the AudioBooster. as the Diamonds volume output is pissweak without it.
oh and Roy, i think the bug with audio booster, where there is a complete lack of bass and sound is all tinny like. was solved in 1.93 ROM.

Hi, can't say I've noticed the skipping part. But maybe I haven't listened to anything long enough, i'll keep my ears open.
Basically yeah to fix the audio booster thing which I had originally turned on while listening to the radio. All I did which I read on here was to turn on mp3 player and start listening. Goto audio booster and turn it off, then on and then off again and save. This as I know it disables the bug from the audio booster and it now sounds ace. Woule like to install a proper music equalizer if I can find one.
I hear all this stuff and have seen loads of threads about it but what actually is upgrading my ROM? Why would I want to change it? I have installed various Diamond Tweaks and Advance Configs etc to speed up performance and mess about with a few settings to suit my tastes.
Why would i want to install a new ROM?
Roy.

Yep it seems to be finally fixed. Now it is a proper (and pretty darn good!) mp3 player.

G1 External Hard Drive?

I'm considering purchasing a head unit for my truck that has stereo bluetooth built in.
I know that I could purchase a 16GB SD card to store my music on, but I want to carry much more than 16GB of music. I am wondering if there is any coders out there that agree with me and think this would be a cool idea.
I am not a coder, although I am an IT technician so I do have working knowledge of these things, but have no knowledge of how to implement something like this..
What I would like to do is have
1) A G1 running (preferably) Cyanogen's latest Rom
2) An external Hard Drive that can be powered through USB
3) An adapter that allows you to charge your G1 and connect another USB device
So Coders, Developers and the such, is it possible to write a script, and/or application that would allow the G1 to mount an external Hard Drive AND power it through USB to access a large library of music to play through stereo bluetooth?

if i remember correctly, no, because google hasnt released those api's yet (we cant hook any device up to the g1 and control/use it, except for headsets)
but you can use imeem to host all your music online and just login to imeem when driving

nope.....for one very good reason....it isnt "wired" that way
and would kill the battery in all of 30 minutes lol
how much music do u really need?
iv seen reports of 32gb cards working...and u can just change card wen u need to

Ya that or I wish Orb would make an app for Android, and T-mobile would bring 3G to South Carolina... I'm sure us backwoods South Carolina rednecks are last on their list though....

use gmote, you can stream music and video to your phone, and it works over 3g!
check it out!

there was another post a while back similar...cant find it....from what i read there i got the impression it cant be done with the g1 coz of some screwed up way of doing things
anyway....the g1 wouldnt be able to output suitable voltage and current (normally 5v 500mA for external drives)(standard usb values)
the battery doesnt even go up to 5v so....meh

if he is using apps2sd that isnt a good option, and since he mentioned cyanogen, chances are he is
and yeah, 16gb of music to listen to while driving is alot of music imo, and 32gb is just crazy
but to each there own, i think your going to have to either use online radio or just swap out music every time you get home to shuffle it up, but even that takes time due to the transfer speed limit from computer to g1

I have an VPS that I run and host files off of. I also operate a ShoutCast Radio server from it. If you can get an ShoutCast Player for Android, just buy a VPS, install the ShoutCast Server files, add your music, configure an auto-dj script, and then run the server. There you have a server running 24/7 that you can add/delete music from and play it straight to your phone. All for the cost of around $25? IF THAT!

Well I was thinking that the adapter would transfer data through to and from the G1 and also accept external power from the cigarette lighter..
I know all of this is a long shot, but I like hacking, g1, and car audio so... what the heck it was worth a shot...

There's Andorb. While not released by Orb, it works pretty well for streaming music and pics through the Orb service.

Do you really need your entire library of music in your truck? Are you planning on driving for more than 200 hours straight and you just can't stand to listen to the same song more than once
Seriously though. 32GB should be more than enough space. Keep the external hard drive at home and load up the 32GB you feel like listening to that MONTH every morning before you leave.

Seriously i can't stand people saying i need 1XX gigs of music... honestly most people can get away with having 5 gigs they just to lazy is the thing IMO. Your 16 gig is enough or are you travel cross the US n wont be seen listening to the same song once ever couple of hours?

I agree, I only have about 15GB of music, but I have 6 years of daily podcasts that I listen to regularly...
Honestly I don't NEED to hook up an external drive. I know there are workarounds... I just wanted to see if it was possible...

I live in Greenville.... No 3G

the guy had hacked it together....using a standard size card and a thrown together adapter....it looked a bit dodgey....and delicate
if i stumble across it again il let u know...i found it by pure accident a while back
anyway - micro sdhc 32gb cards are due out in time for xmas
and the sdhc standard clearly dictates that any sdhc device will work with all cards from 1MB-32GB
cant wait for 64GB SDXC (specs say they will be capable of 64GB-2TB) never gonna use all that BUT I WANT IN SOOOO BAD
as for the music debate - i have 60GB of music.... although there is only about 5GB worth i actually listen to regularly...its good to have the extra stuff for wen i fancy a change

16gb of music. or even 5gb of music can't be listened to within a day...

Stereo Bluttooth problem

Whenever I play music over bluetooth to my motorola s9 headset, it skips every 3-10 seconds. The music stops for a second or so, then starts again where it left off. It's the same as if someone were pushing pause and play all the time. It's very annoying!!
I found a fix using the search feature but it was created for the hermes, I moved it to my phone and when I tried to run it, it just opened the opera browser and didn't do anything. It was called A2DPFix v1.0.
Is there a fix for the Touch pro? Or anything else I can do to stop this problem.
I use WMP to play my music, if that matters.
Thanks!

the skip usually comes from heavy interference in the area. that means someone, somewhere in your vicinity is using a higher powered device that runs in a similar frequency.. I cant use my stereo bt for music when I connect it to my ipod video (via bt adapter) with all the staff running around with their high powered radio transmitters.
atleast this is my observation....

It happens when I am running, I leave from my apartment and run about 1 mile toward the woods. Then I run through a dirt road in the woods for another 2 miles before coming back, so I don't think there is any interference..?
Thanks for the reply!

ah ok. I thought you meant using the stereo bt in a city environment.
Just to cover bases, did you buy the s9 via ebay or did you buy it from a store. The first time I bought a stereo bt headset, i made the mistake of buying it via ebay from a buyer from hk.. which is.. a bad idea, because it was fake and it sucked. If you bought it from an actual store in the US, then I think you can use advanced config to ramp up some settings under bluetooth to get higher performance. I hope that helps.

Issues with SE MW600

Hi,
I recently bought this nice bluetooth earphone (Sony Ericsson MW600) - because it was mentioned, it works great on Nexus One.
But I got a somehow strange problem:
when it is connected to the phone (at least, bluetooth settings say so), I can phone with this headset but I cannot listen to any music.
Settings say, it's connected to phone and media.
I tried enomthers and cyanogens latest roms.
Has anybody any idea, what is wrong?
edit: tested it with a SE v640i - works perfektly - must be an issue with the nexus/rom/whatever :-/
Thanks,
bastie

how did you buy them?

via ebay
it is unused and the package was not opened, too...

okay, after searching through the net for several hours - here's the solution:
it does not work, when wireless lan is turned on - for whatever reason
so:
first turn off wireless lan
then connect mw600 and play music
seems like bluetooth and wlan are blocking each other

Good to know. I just ordered one for 50 bux shipped when I preordered from mobilecityonline.com, which still is selling for the same price but now shipping is no longer free because it's no longer a preorder item. I figured its better than retail or ebay after my stint with a fake SE product a few years back. Thanks for the info!

One thing I learn is never buy bluetooth headsets or memory cards from ebay. 99.9% of them are fakes.

Hello Everyone,
kpjimmy, I ordered and received my MW600 from mobilecityonline.com too. They seem to have nice service.
How can we tell if we got a counterfeit device or not. I had problems in the past with serveral brands?
Did you find the instruction in the box were not detailed ?
I went to sony ericsson support page for the MW600, no user guide pdf file. Only the warranty pdf. I noticed for the other devices such as the DS205,DS970,DS980 there are user guide pdf files. Have you found one for the MW600?
Must say, I am impressed with the battery life. I took out of the box, charged for 8 hours as per instructions. Turned it on, paired it, turned on the FM radio with 100% volume. It went 10.75 hrs, even a few phone calls before dead. Did 3 full 8 hrs charges/10.75hrs to full discharges cycles.
Thank you,
Monnie

I have used the headset for a week or so and I must say it is an awesome little headset for the cash! I also have the plantronics 590A but that is for my personal home use, but the MW600 is great for the office or when you are out and about. I haven't taken any calls with the headset yet though.
As for this being possibly a fake headset? I have to say my last 'fake' headset was in the box, (wasn't sealed btw) and when used, the sound was too tinny like cheapo headsets you get at your local convenience store. This one I received from Mobilecityonline, in my opinion the real deal. The sound is nice and functions as it should. Very satisfied with the headset.
Anyone want a aliph icon? LOL kiddin...that's what I use when in the car.

Jimmy you work for SE? you haven't take any calls yet? and you used it for so long? or do you work for mobilecityonline.com? let me know what is your deal?

I hace one and very annoying problem with this headset . When i plug id to HD2 and turn on the WIFI , music freeze for a less then second and sound geting disorted and very thin (it sound like the music change frequency to very low. Anyone had this problem ?

I don't work for either. I am a BT and tech junkie . I have taken a call on the MW600 and all sounds fine and works great as expected. I have since use my Aliph Icon with the new A2DP drivers installed.
However, I also have gotten the BlueAnt S4. I have used this more than the MW600 and I have to admit I love the thing. It is truely handsfree and the sound is great, clear, loud and is truly handsfree.

You plug in? The MW600 does not need to be plugged in. The HD2 has A2DP. All you need to do is turn on your bluetooth and pair the phone with the headset. When you play the music with your bluetooth on, the phone should automatically connect to the headset and play wirelessly, no plugging in necessary. Please give us additional detail. Thanks!

my mw600 works great - 5.0.5.3 through froyo.

so the skip forward/back and play/pause buttons on this can control the music?
Because I've lost the original N1 remote and am looking for decent replacements.
Thanks

it controls music. display obviously doesn't show the track like it might if paired with a sony device however. touch volume slider is kinda annoying.

Really annoying!
Just got it. Had a Nokia BH-103 before but it broke. On the Nokia the sound sometimes was getting faster or a bit slower from time to time but that did not annoy me that much, now i can hardly hear on song. even if i turn of wifi the issue remains. please please help. really was looking forward to use my new mw600 and now the expirence is ruined.
headset works great with ps3 and notebook even over "big" distance (can hear music in every room of my flat)
so i guess it's the devices fault
having a htc hero using villian rom 10.2
PLEASE HELP

SOLVED !!!!!
setting the cpu speed somehow messes up bluetooth audio transfare
disabled overclocking now works like a charm

I tried my friend's SE MH-100 which he uses for his Aino, but my N1 can't even find it via bluetooth. I ordered the MBS 200 which is a bluetooth speaker also from SE and I'm still waiting for it.
Any clue why it can't find the MH-100? Im afraid it wont be able to scan the MBS200's bletooth as well
UPDATE: It's working great

I ordered one from ebay just now because Sony Ericsson Canada is selling is for $99.99 (mobilecityonline sells it for $50 but charges $40 US for shipping too Canada...)
After reading stories about fake bluetooth, I am worried. How do I tell if the one I bought is genuine or not? I bought it from this seller: http://cgi.ebay.com/SonyEricsson-MW...ewItem&pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1e5cfdeebe

I purchased one from mobilecityonline in person.
I don't really like the volume control, but I encounter a pairing problem with nexus one.
If I keep the pairing with the phone, it works 100%, but if I connect it to another device, it refuse to connect to nexus one again except I pair them again.
The battery is awesome though, I play 8 hours of wireless music and the battery doesn't run out.

Wireless headphones for the Desire.

I want a wireless headphone or earphone for the Desire, that I can use for music, radio, answering calls, when I'm at the Gym.
What are the best recommendations. Thanks.

That looks like a great headset and from Handtec its not that pricey. However the Motorola S9 is very expensive but also sweatproof. cant decide

why should u want it sweatproof? I've got in ear plugs so they don't suffer from sweat atleast that is my experience with in earp plugs.

i got the jabra street last week.. it comes with own headphones but they are rubbish.. thankfully you can use your own.. today will be my first day in the gym with it so will let you know how i get on
cheers,
mick

As I said I want it for the gym... trust me it has to be sweat/water proof
I might get the Motorola S9 because it looks good too.

About the gym, I work out alot to but still no problems with the in ear plugs but now back to the test that I would preform.
Ok now starting the test @ 11.14 and my phone is @ 98% and locked the phone so it's just using bluetooth and playing music I've got some widgets and auto updates that update every 3 hours so they won't have that much influense also 3g is turned off when I lock my phone so u know .
So for the overview(End will be added when I'm done with testing)

Ok now starting the test @ 11.14 and my phone is @ 98% and locked the phone so it's just using bluetooth and playing music I've got some widgets and auto updates that update every 3 hours so they won't have that much influense also 3g is turned off when I lock my phone so u know .
Using Cube 3 music player.
So for the overview(End will be added and results when I'm done with testing)
Time Battery
11.14 98%
12.14 93%
So drop from 5% listening in 1 hour so your phone will outlast the battery of the SE MW-600 which is 8 hours so over 8 hours of listening you will get 40% drop.
Hope i informed you enough .
About the displaying of track info: No info will be displayed, this is because android doesn't support his.

Thank you very much, that's great.

Have a look at Backbeat 903 from plantronic.
Of all the reviews i have seen people love them. There is even some Wrestler guy reviewing them on Youtube of how he loves them. I have mine on order and should receive them in a week or so.

As I said I want it for the gym... trust me it has to be sweat/water proof
I might get the Motorola S9 because it looks good too.

I have a S9 and works very well in sweat situation, doesnt' fall, the quality is good enough for a gym/biking situation. However if you have small ear cavity (dont know the specific name for them) may be sore after some minutes but with time you the region get less sensitive.
One more thing, it's better to leave the phone in a almost static position, ie in a armband, on the treadmill because if you put in your pocket while running the constant moving makes the sound come and go. It's seems that occurs with most of bluetooth headsets.

treadmills or cycling machines have a place to put your stuff like your phone, MP3 player etc, in front of you

Radio
You wont be able to listen to radio with any wireless headphone headset, because earphones cable works as an antenna for radio reception.

Thats a good point for those who may want to listen to radio.
I personally only want it for music and taking calls.

Not true the Sony Erricons MW-600 has a builtin FM radio

I have the backbeat 903's. I love them, sound quality is good, Mic is clear even with background noise. You can still hear what is going on around you, which saves getting run over when crossing roads. You have to store them carefully though. Mine are in for a warranty repair right now, left speaker stopped working but I used to just keep them in my pocket so probably my fault. Controls work and battery life is good. People do mock the look of them but who cares?
