If i use the 3.5mm headphone breakout cable with headphones, i hear music fine, if i plug a 3.5mm lead that goes to my stereo, nothing is output, if i play with the 3.5mm jack, i can maybe hear music for a second before the music app closes and again no music is output except internal speaker.
Does anyone know the answer to this?
its something to do with the output resisitance. we need to change it. there was some development/research into this a while back.

The answers are a bit scattered across several threads, but if you have a look at Post #7 and onwards in this one is a good start. There are also some photos of made up leads showing how to address.
In essence Oly's comment is correct, but the nub of the issue comes down to the fact that the uUSB port is not just a hard-wired audio output in the manner of a traditional 3.5mm socket. The same contacts are used for multiple functions depending on the resistance presented to the sense contact. That causes the device to change mode and then channel data or audio or go into charging mode, etc.
I can't instantly give you all the links, but if you search on the TG forum for 'audio' and my username, you will find several further references. One in particular on Brighthand gives details about connecting an external hard drive successfully.
Hope that helps,

Audio Output to amplifier
Here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=936562&highlight=audio+output
and here, as kevinpwhite say, was the first thread facing this problem
http://www.modaco.com/content/toshiba-tg01-tg01-modaco-com/298887/headphone-amplified-sound-output/
Below, my own experience "tuning" a couple of PHILIPS portable amplified speakers to use with TG01 soldering a couple of 470 Ohm resistors:
1)between input left cable and ground cable
2)between input right cable and ground cable as well.
This doesn't affect to the sound at all and you can use any other sound source without problems.

I bought this samsung omnia adapter from ebay 6 months ago for 7pounds and is working fine even with an audio amplifier after pressing button. Is very good quality.

I guess it does, same connector. Give it a try.
Is working perfectly with tf3d and fm receiver
Can you use your own headphones with this?
http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=150195
if you check the description and a user comment says you can 3.5 mm
Yes you can!
Key Features
- The E100 includes 3.5mm stereo earphones or use your own!
Nice to know that this is working, can anyone post some real pics, so I can get an impression of the real size and colour!
who can i buy the RC E100 (will this be sold separately as an accessory)?!
Yes you can, check HTC homepage or use google.
Can anyone try if this works with the diamond as well? Especially the buttons on the control device.
Tested and approved.
I bought it for my Trinity and now it works perfectly for my diamond.
Works as an antenna for the FM. All controls working nativly with the new TouchFlo3D.
perfectly, thank you for your confirmation!

I read somewhere in the net, that you might have problems with some of the HTC devices. Can you please confirm, that:
a) with this remote attached, the screen turns off (save battery time)
- I read, this is not the case
b) the screen will always turn on as soon you press any key (even in you pocket)
c) works perfectly with the Diamond
Thanks in advance
RC E100 plugged without any driver or software added - screen turned off
- by pressing Play, it plays the music and the screen stays turned off
- by pressing next-previous, it changes the song and the screen stays turned off
- by controlling the volume (buttons at the bottom) it changes Volume and the screen stays turned off
the only buttons that turns on the screen are the one for phone calls.
Tested right now with my Diamond
How about the sound quality, is it better than the ones that come in the box?
I had a P1i before, and I planning to buy the RC E100 and use the intra speakers from the hpm-75:
Has anyone tried the same? Do you think I'll get the same sound quality as my SE phone, which was much better?
I plugged a basic Sony headset. I didn't try yet the one in the box.
Peio64 ? With a name like that, you are from Euskadi ?
(edited sry double post)
Haha yes, I probably have the only diamond in the region
So you use your sony headset with an adaptor, can you compare with the crappy htc one?
Other question: I found the volume really too loud, I usually listen to music at work, and even with 1 volume bar (hard to set with the finger by the way), I think it's too strong. Does the minimal volume change with other handsets?

Can you please concretize what you mean by "crappy htc"? I have a SE and the same headset as Peio64. And. I am quite happy with it. Is the htc worse?
When I say "crappy" I mean
- no bass
- bad "isolation" (everyone around can hear what you're listening)
It's about the headset that comes in the box, don't know about the RC E100, anyway I will use the RCE100 remote with the HPM-75 intras, the lenght of the wire will be perfect
Has anyone has tried the RC E100 with a hermes?
What other devices (besides the Tytyn II and Diamond) can confirm?
Does anyone know the difference between the two (RC E100 and RC W100)?
I tried the RC W100 with my hermes ( with a few different ROMs) with no luck...
Is it true you can only control audio manager and WMP?
Can anyone look over the "driver cab" to see if other players might be possible?
Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Hi Guys,
Can someone, anyone, please confirm the difference between using the supplied headphones that come with the HRC diamond which are
a) bass-less (and I already know about the Audio booster bug - I mean they still dont have much bass when you have worked around that bug)
b) not isolated well (as pointed out above)
and compare with using a decent set of 3.5mm headphones that are connected with the RC E100 or with one of those USB to 3.5mm adapters that you can get from ebay.
Does better headphones = lots more bass? The supplied headphones just don't seem to push out much but I wonder how much of a role the actual diamond plays in this....
Thanks in advance to anyone who can confirm this.

Hi all,
I have search Desire topic with "bluetooth" word but nothing useful got. Anyone using bluetooh device like below so that we can use quality headphones with DHD?
Basicly I am looking for and any recommendations are appreciated
- 3.5 mm support
- Track/radio next/previous functionality.
- Charge status (optional)
- Internal mic (so that we can use bluetooh device as a mic source)

BTW, I have found out Sony Ericsson MW600.
What do you think?
http://cgi.ebay.com/Sony-Ericsson-M...ss_Products&hash=item20b269f1d3#ht_5227wt_906
SonyEricsson MW600...
works great, music control, great sound and fm included.... only thing that is bad is the volume control (touch sensitive control that is quite annoying)
MW600 works great, but functionality from the forward/backward buttons is buggy
Yes, for MW600, that touch sensitive volume control looks a little crappy.
@utor, could you please explain why forward/backward is buggy? It does not command on something or what?
back/forward works great here... could be which player is used.... I'm using winamp and/or poweramp....
Also one thing missing is the track name and the caller name on the display... but I think that is a limitation on the android BT stack.
Mw600 works great, volume control looks annoying in the start but u get use to it.
Btw does some one got rewind/forward working on it?
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
wow, looks like Mw600 rulez here lol.
Is there mic on the Mw600 so that we can answer calls or do we need to use mic integrated headphones instead?
Yeah it has a mic. The mw600 is pretty good, my only complain is the volume thing too. Battery life could be a little better too i suppose, but its not really an issue ^^
Tx for the reply.
May I ask for MW600 If there are any "in memory" station channels (i.e. like in car audio systems) for radio or we can only listen by fw/rw functions?

Actually, its the htc music player thats buggy, it wont work with that player - but as other has stated it works great with poweramp/winamp/subsonic and others
Another (if not late) vote for MW600.
does this work with google listen?
Does the mw600 pause / play / etc with google listen
Have had issues with other headsets
Thanks
I've heard good things about the Jabra BT3030
I'm using a Sony MW600 headset with my DHD, it is working perfectly for calls and music (using winamp). It is buggy with the stock music app though.

I have the Jabra BT3030 and it works fine with PowerAmp AND the Stock Music player as well as calls. I also have the Wunder Radio App and that's spot on too.
The earphones you get with the Jabra are crap, but just put you own ones in, at the moment I have Bose but I'm switching to the Klipsch S4's as the earbuds are much better.
Thanks guys for mention Jabra BT3030. I checked out for Jabra BT3030 on the web, watched some video reviews and common cons for Jabra BT3030 is call quality.
Apart from that my personal choice would not be Jabra BT3030 after MW600 in terms of build design also. Jabra is looking same as that soldier thing they put on around their necks

Beggars can't be choosers! I can't comment on call quality, and I agree that the design is somewhat tacky but the thing is that you can hide it behind your shirt - so unless you habitually do bluetooth calling whilst topless, then it would actually be quite a stealth solution - and certainly not as visible as the SonyEricsson (which I think looks quite cheap).
Have a look for some of the iTech clip headsets. They're pretty subtle, though cheap - so I don't know about battery life/build quality/compatibility.

I've just tried it, and although the sound comes through, play/pause seems to control Poweramp instead so you just get music over your podcast.
I'm otherwise very pleased with the mw600 though - for the money it's a really nice piece of kit.
Is there an audio extension able with remote control out there for Desire HD?

There are a lot for Nokia and Iphone but don't know if they are compatible.
Anyone got any idea?
thx!
to my knowledge, i think you're out of luck. but i know there are some apps that can work like headset controls. eg. im using an earphone that's made for iOS, although i can't use the volume up and volume down button, i can customise the middle button using the headset control app. All the best!
cheers mate!
http://www.htc.com/hk-en/product/accessory/headset_hs-u350.html
i use that thing with some quality in ear phones from shure Works perfectly.
I use PlayerPro for music. So 1 click is play/pause music or take/end call. 2 clicks is next song, 3 clicks is last song. For volume i can use the hard buttons on the dhd And of course it has a microphone so you can use it as a headset. Oh and its quite affordable!

the included earphone is very good, much to my surprice and for £3.34 I think it is a bargain. you press once to pause and play, press twice to fast forward three times to backforward.
Forgot to mention I am using CM7 rom and with Poweramp player. I've not check if it works with sense.

no offense but it's hard to believe that it's a good quality product for that price and i'm not talking about the earphones just the control !
of course you don't have to believe me. It was just my opinion and the cable did work brilliantly for me, it serves the purpose- take calls,pause,fast and back forwards etc. As for the extra earphone , of course it was no match compares to the Shure 530, but it's fantasic considering it is free. Shure 530 it's about £350 pounds, will you believe now that I think it's good? Or you still don't think it is expensive enough to be of good quality? Don't judge a product by it's price.

I flashed remix sense 3 rom and unfortunately the wired remote doesn't work as it intended. So to conclude it is only work with CM7 rom.
So, I have this cig lighter fm transmitter that takes both USB sticks, or 2.5mm input.
this question is for my GF, she enjoys listening to books on tape and I would like to set this thing up for her to use, problem, the infuse has a 3.5mm plug. If i use the phone as a mass storage, it would play songs via the Play buttons and what not, but these are 1.5 hour long tracks sometimes and it does not auto save where you last were. any ideas? The ideal situation would be to use the USB to charge the phone while using some kind of 3.5mm Male to 2.5mm male plug into the infuse phone and have her use her phone to pause, save and play the files. Any ideas?
This is a newer version of what I have, but alot of the same functionality, i can put a usb drive in and play skip and all that fun stuff.

edit: think i found what you want " Sennheiser 2.5mm Male to 3.5mm Male Audio Cable " (keep in mind all i did to find such a mythical product was a simple google search which i do believe can be done by anybody capable of posting on a fourm) link - http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/665652-REG/Sennheiser_531406_2_5mm_Male_to_3_5mm.html
I have one of these nifty little adapters as I had an old phone with a 2.5 mm plugin. They work VERY well and are relatively short when attached to a longer cable. I'd recommend it if you decide it'll solve your issue.

Thank you very much for the input and usable links. Not to risk coming off as unappreciative, I should clarify, my question wasn't so much where can I get this equipment I knew the 3.5 - 2.5 existed. It was more along the lines of what is the setup you'd recommend. I suggested in my mind a good or decent setup but was hoping to get ideas if people know of a better way (i.e. some cool feature of the phone im not aware of that lets yo unplug the usb into your phone and then control the radio or transmitter via the phone display).
Are you SURE that thing has a 2.5mm input?
2.5mm stereo inputs are INCREDIBLY rare. As in this would be the first time I've ever seen such a thing.
2.5mm stereo outputs are a lot more common thanks to phones and the fact that it's the standard size for wired headsets.

all i know is that the Line out on the phone is 3.5 and I had a 3.5 to 3.5 Male - Male plug that was to large. I may be incorrect but im using process of elimination with a limited scope of knowledge, I dont know of any other plug besides the 2.5 and the 3.5 as far as the headphone style plugs go.
use bluetooth to transmit is a lot easier and clean.

Bingo!! I use my Infuse through my Sony Xplod MTX-3000(?) and it ROCKS! handsfree kicks in when calls come in pausing music/audio of any kind...then resumes when call is disconnected. Another great App I bought for this is PowerAMP....it's got a setting to auto-resume playback when in range so when I start car (phone in pocket) the music starts playing where it left off the previous day (or whenever I was in the car last) I LOVE that feature...don't need to turn on the app or anything, it just "knows"
+1 to Bluetooth suggestion!
^^
your nick reminds me of Urban Dance Squad for some reason lol
Thanks for the responses, I think adding Bluetooth to the stereo or getting a whole new stereo might not be a suitable suggestion at this point (unless its not faux pas to get her an anniversary/birthday present at the same time when they are 2 months apart ).
New car also works.
For sure! A new car is the obvious choice.

So, an update!!
I am getting her a SD/USB/Aux Input (3.5mm) car stereo for our anniversary. I have been reading some forums that talk of plugging the phone into the stereo Via USB, then "Mounting the SD" and playing the files that way after doing some sort of debug mode.
Anyone ever tried this? apparently the stereo would read music off the SD loaded in the phone, or some said that you can control it Via the phone controls.
No BT unfortunately
Here is the thread i am referencing, it is another forum sorry if this is against the rules.
http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-tips-tricks/92867-there-way-play-music-through-usb-2.html
if you already have a 3.5 AUX why are you trying to mount the SD card. all you have to do is just play it through your music player.

You need to get out more or get a new installer place. Most DO with a simple PAC controller (http://www.pac-audio.com/SWI/)
meh, i have a bluetooth... and it wont stream... but it does with my HD2... whatever.
id like to minimize the wires if possible.. just run the audio to the radio + get a charge from it. Plus I hear you tend to get better sound from USB rather than the 3.5.

Hey!
Many of you may know the issue that the Music Stops playing, when you slide the phone. I was tired of this and since nobody here posted a solution, I investigated a bit on that problem.
First Idea, it's a "feature" and you probably can turn it off in a Registry entry. But nope, the registry does not seem to have any key for this.
Second idea was the Jack itself. So I tried the official Earphones, and it did not stop. Looking at those I saw, that the jack got 4 pins.

I'm sure all of you that are using, their own headphones got one with this Jack:
It works probably like this: If you press the button, Aux and GND are connected and the device knows, the button is pressed.
But if you use a 3pin Jack, Aux and GND is always connected, since there is no aux but GND only!
You can test it yourself: unplug your earphones play Music via speaker, plug in your 3pinJack -> the music stops (since the device thinks the button is pressed)
unplug and try the same thing, with a 4pinJack (like official HTC earphones) it the music will not pause when you plug it in.
The Device ignores the button press until it is released and pressed again, that's why it does not pause all the time. But when you slide, for some reason, the device thinks the button is pressed again. (probably for some hardware reasons, but idk)
Solution?
Here:
1. Use the orignal HTC Earphones
well, rumors say they got a bad sound quality.
2. You can use an Nokia headest
as well, my nokia headset got an 3,5input for a Jack with 3pins.
But with my earphones, I can clearly hear the more bad sound quality
(and you can't use the buttons as well, but i don't care about this)
Later I found out the bad quality is HTCs fault! They swapped the position of the AUX and the GND Pin, so that you can use the Nokia Headset only with lack of quality..
3. The MacGyver
It's easy and it works.
Take some duct tape and cut it small.. really small!
So small that it just covers the not available Aux pin (compare first and second image above). Please note that HTC swapped the position of Aux and GND on their Jack, so that you have to place the duct tape on the area which is labeled with GND on the picture at the top. See picture above. otherwise you will might notice a lack of quality..
Plug it in your Device and you are done.
Now the Aux pin is isolated and the device never thinks the button is pressed.
Unfortunately, the (at least my) duct tape does not stay in place, since the input is rather small and with duct tape the jack hardly fits in. But maybe you can do it better? If you don't replug all day long this could be your solution
4.The slaughter
/* No picture here */
Cut off, the Jack of your earphones, cut of the Jack of the official HTC earphones, and connect it. (don't cut the cable to short!)
Leave Aux of the 4pin Jack simply unconnected. (so it will never be pressed)
If you want you can simply strip the wires and twist the corresponding ones.
Advanced users might want to solder it (I recommend this).
When you are finished use some duct tape and you are done!
5. The better slaughter
You maybe got some real expensive earphones and don't want to cut off the Jack? Yeah me too!
The solution is easy, you build an converter.
Cut off the 4pin-jack of an earphone that got one (eg the official HTC earphones). Take an 3,5Jack input, solder everything, but keep the Aux one unconnected. Maybe a case or some duct tape and you are done!
Here is a quick view of how I build my converter:
1. I cut of the 4pin-jack of my old Nokia headset seen above.
2. I opend the remote part, with the 3,5input.
2.1 I unsoldered the 3,5input from the board.
3. I soldered the 4pin-jack directly on the input.
3.1 Since Nokia uses the regular order of Aux and GND I had to leave the clear one unconnected (this would usually be GND) and connected the white one (this would usually be Aux).
3.2 If you want to be sure, which color has to be connected to which pin, I recommend to use an Multimeter and check the pin outs.
3.3 Some cracks might want to add the an pause button on the converter: simply connect the button to the unconnected one and the other pin of the button to GND!
3.4 this will probably work with every 3,5input you might find it on cable extensions?
Well thats it!

PS:
Think before you cut!
