On my previous phones diamond and hero i've used the HTC RC E100 remote. It was quite handy, allowed me to control the music player without getting the phone out of my pocket, and the best thing was i could just use my own headphones!
Unfortunatly it has a mini-usb connector. Now that the desire uses a micro USB connector i am looking for something similiar.
Control for music, volume, phone (incl. mic) and where i can plug in my own headphones.
I just love those in ear headphones and don't want to use the ones that came with the desire.
Does anybody know about a remote that would fit my desire and my needs?
Thanks everyone!

Maybe something like these: http://www.lgmobileshop.co.uk/go/ac...10m?NAVID=2DE6D616-3005-BC57-7F4D79DFC6BE490B
Not sure how good/bad they are in terms of quality.

Allthough they are missing those msic control buttons, do you know if it will work with the desire?

The Desire uses a standard micro USB (5-pin micro-USB 2.0) connection, I am just thinking whether or not the Desire even supports audio through the USB...
As far as I know, the Nexus One uses a standard Micro-USB connector, which has no audio support. The only way to listen through an amp is Bluetooth or the headphone jack.

thank you for the provided information. as the nexus one and the desire are very similar, i guess the desire will miss the audio support via usb as well. in all other phones where audio via usb was supported, HTC has used a non standard usb port.
i will keep on searching for a remote that plugs in via the headphone jack. if someone has an idea

I think I have a solution.
Jabra BT3030 bluetooth headset. A2DP and AVRCP so you get your stereo sound and also utilise audio controls. Plus it has a 3.5mm jack so you can plug in whatever headphones you want.
Google it. I've got one on the way.
I've been looking for head phones too, and these look like the best offer so far. I am a bit worried about the blue tooth running down the battery though. But let me know how you find these. If all the buttons work with the desire I'll probably get myself a set.
I've been using my Jabra BT3030 and the controls do work. There is a small time lag between pressing a button on the Jabra and it responding.
One good thing I found about the phone (with or without headphones) is that the volume control on the phone works even when the phone has gone to sleep. On my HD2 that didn't happen and it really annoyed me.

So how is the Jabra overall? Worth buying? I've been reading the amazon reviews and some issues have been raised, like the buttons not working with music after you get a call. Do the volume buttons work, and how is the sound quality? Lastly, how bad is it on the battery?
Thanks in advance.

i think i will give it a try, the only thing that worries me is the fact that i would have another thing to charge. I was also thinking about soldering a headphone jack into the standard htc remote that came with the phone. i will keep you up to date.

these look interesting, i've been thinking about looking for some headphones with music controls too...
how is the sound quality with the jabra bt3030, is it just as good as having headphones plugged into the phone?
does running bluetooth hammer the phone battery?
yea i like the look of it, the ability to skip tracks without whipping ur phone out seems great. that always annoyed me with the iphone.. but as i listen to music for hours on end at work (Without a charger handy), i wanna know how much the BT will effect battery life?
id imagine it would decline pretty quickly ?
I have a Jabra BT 3030 which I used extensively with my G1 because I hated carrying around a MiniUSB to audio jack lead.
However I haven't even tried it with my Desire, like someone said its just another thing you need to remember to charge, and as the Desire has a headphone socket (and a micro usb) it would mean carry two leads, or an adaptor to keep them both charged.
That said the Jabra has a fairly decent battery life as long as you remember to turn it off when your not using it.
The sound quality is perfectly acceptable for listening to music unless your a real audiophile, though its obviously not as good as a direct connection to the phone.

Heh. Arrowed.
I use a pair of Sony DR-BY20NX Bluetooth headphones with my desire. headphone battery life is 11hrs.it also has audio controls and can answer call.
fairly cheap but discontinued and becoming hard to find. well worth it though.

I was in CPW last week and the guy who was serving me also had a desire, he was using the Nokia Bh-214 (iirc), its a bluetooth remote with a 3.5mm plug. I tried it out and it sounded good, it has full controls including volume. Its around £40 and available
Also, I have been searching about and found the Sony MW-600 its a bluetooth remote with a 3.5 mm jack, it also comes with headphones and has a built in FM radio. Also has full controls, its around £40 and not out till May.
Personally I am going to wait till the Sony one is out, it has positive reviews and i trust Sony more when it comes to music and the like. Just annoying having to wait!
I am using a cheap BT A2DP, and it works very well. It can be used as BT handsfree or stereo earphone, also has a remote to skip and back the track, that works fine in TuneWiki (but it not for HTC player). The quality of the sound is still far below my KOSS earphone though... but for 26USD and free delivery that thing is really a good deal.
This is the link, but I just found out that is sold out at this moment.

They have another one, almost the same spec but I don't know whether it works as good as the other one.

Folks,
This is probably a stupid question, but I own the car dock and a Samsung Fascinate... obviously. My question is the car dock only plugs into the microusb port but has a connector on the rear, and comes with a 3.5mm audio jack.
That being said when completely connected to the dock and radio it does not play audio except from the built-in speaker.
What is this about? Is there something I am missing? A setting somewhere or... ?
Thanks for the thoughts.
The 3.5 jack is "supposed" to work when android 2.2 (froyo) is released for the phone.
Too bad the software portion responsible for this can't be ported back to 2.1
Arrrggh.. I bought one too along with a desk dock. Only to find out it's useless. I'm returning them while I still can.

Thought i would chime in here.
I too am waiting/hoping for froyo to fix the 3.5 jack but in the mean time i just turn my phone over and insert it backwards into the car dock when i need the audio out and plug both the usb and the audio in.
It works for me to, at the least, buy me time until i can do right.
Come on froyo!!!
Fascinate Voo Doo One Point Two
Easy fix...get a head unit that supports bluetooth and run your music through that. With hands free laws taking over everywhere it's not a bad move anyway. I've got that setup in my car and absolutely love it! Music is very clear and sounds great, not like radio transmitters. Since it's charging while playing you don't lose any battery life at all.
While I wouldn't call swapping out a head unit an "easy fix", I do second that comment that it is awesome and convenient to stream audio through bluetooth to the car.
Well,
2.2.1 is fully functioning and out now. The dock 3.5mm outputs work, and all in life is well. Be happy guys! PS: Go push the 2.2.1 leak (any of the versions, there are multiples!) onto your phone!
It does not void the warranty, if you have a hardware issue just use a windows PC and ODIN to jam the DI01 or DL09 stock unrooted load on the phone and your all set for warranty support/exchange. It takes 10 minutes to ODIN back to stock, easy as pie!
I have to second this. I initially just used the dock with the phone in backwards under 2.1, and directly plugged my USB and Audio leads directly into the phone. Since I flashed to 2.2.1 leak, it has been working wonderfully the way it's supposed to.
I really was pleased with the dock when I first got it, it's solidly built. Having to wait a short while for all of the features to work was a minor inconvenience to me, but now I'm really happy I stuck it out.
I am on DL30 right now with the car dock and the set up is still not doing audio through the audio out. To the people who are using it without a problems are you using the stock music player or a different player and is it working for calls, and audiobooks as well? For some reason I am having no luck wondering if it is.because.I don't use touchwiz apps.

On DL30, I have to open the Car Cradle application, and if the phone is in the dock, a little 'speaker' toggle icon appears next to the 'Exit' icon, this will switch audio to the dock output. It doesn't auto-switch.
There are applications on the market that will auto-switch based on the phone activity, such as Tasker. All DL30 does is enable the ability to use the external audio connection on the dock.
Now, I don't use TW either, I use LauncherPro, so I'm not sure if TW will auto-switch or not. I'm betting it probably will, as previously only TW would auto-launch the Desk Cradle and Car Cradle apps when the appropriate dock was detected, in all other launcher frontends I've had to start the application manually or use apps like Tasker mentioned above that would detect the dock and launch the associated app and settings.
I've noticed that the audio out of the car dock is terrible. Anyone else?

As far as I know, you need the stock music player. This is because you need to have the Car Cradle app open or the sound will just play through your phone speaker. Also, the Car Cradle app has a speaker "button" that you will need to toggle.

You need the Car Cradle to toggle the external aux connection, but you are not limited to stock music players, etc, to utilize it. I have Google Maps/Navigation prompts running through it, as well as Subsonic for music playback. As long as I've launched the Car Cradle app and toggled the connection on, all audio that would normally be output by the rear speaker (as far as any audio that has been produced on my phone so far when docked) uses the external aux properly.
As far as sound quality goes, my sound has been very good so far. I have engine noise coming through the USB charger, but once that's disconnected, it's quiet and high quality. Now, once I get this noise suppressor connected to my power source, that engine buzz will go away for good.

Try plugging some headphones into the phone and listen to a song. Then plug into the car dock and listen to the same song.
Please let me know if you hear a difference. Thanks!

Not only. I just got SlipGrip case and it fits perfectly with OtterBox Commuter on. The only problem for me was suction cup which is big (3.5") so it didn't stick to my tomtom adhesive disk on the dashboard. But it holds to windshield very good. I can't post any links yet so you have to google it ("SlipGrip Car Holder For The Samsung Fascinate With Case")

Ok, I tested 5 different scenarios. In the Fascinate Car Dock with aux enabled, on an FM transmitter, and on three separate headphones: standard iPod earbuds, Klipsch in-ear headphones, and Sony studio headphones from my recording studio gear. I am on SuperClean 2.1, and used both the included Music app and Subsonic for playback on each scenario. For comparison, I also performed all scenarios on three other devices: an Archos 605, an iPod Classic, and an iPod Touch.
With all of that, I couldn't discern an audible difference between the Fascinate and the other devices tested in the corresponding scenario.
The reason I stopped using my Archos was because the Fascinate's audio was just as good, and with Subsonic negating the need to sync my media library, it really has become an almost perfect portable media platform for me. Now, if I could only get the aux on the car dock to work without the need for the cradle app, it would be perfect.
Hope this helps.

Oh, to add, obviously I didn't plug the other media players into the car dock, but I tested using the same 3.5mm aux cable that the car dock used for the Fascinate.

Hi, I hope you can help me out.
I'm trying to record some audio through the 2-in-1-combo-audio jack.
Everytime I connect an external music player to the transformer via audio jack, the transformer does not recognize that somethign is plugged in, but it thinks I want to use headphones (jack as output).
How can I swith to mic mode (jack as input)? Do I have to use a special asus app or is there a good app in the market that can do this?
Thx in Advance!
I doubt that you be able to do that
Why?
The specifications are very clear:
1 x 2-in-1 Audio Jack (Headphone/Mic-in)
Or do I understand this wrong?
I would guess that it will only recognize the microphone when it is connected via a 2 ring connector like a headset/mic combo. A mic by itself would not have a connection that the hardware could recognize.
I am only theorizing based on my experience with with an iPhone.
Hope you like mono recordings...

Yeah I think you are right, a member of another forum told me the same, that he plugged in an Apple Iphone Headset and the external mic on the headset worked. I also have such combo headsets with the same plug but they dont work. The internal mic still was still active. Could anyone please try to connect your headset and post if
1) the external mic will work
2) the internal mic gets deactivated.
3) and what headset is beeing used?

Maybe then with additional Accessories, I hope to do this with the standard audio jack, which should be able to do that... at least according to the specs.
Quite possibly it would just need software to work. Since it is in the specs, a headphone/mic combination should work. I noticed tigerdirect was selling a combination headphone/mic as a bundle with the transformer.
You're going to want a 4 pin headset (mic/left/right/ground), which is how modern devices do dual input/output audio. Standard mics are 3 pins (L/R/Ground) just like normal headphones, therefore the hardware cant differentiate. Now the issue may come up on the arrangement of the headset pins. Prior to the iPhone, the standard 4 pin headset was configured in such a way that they would not work as normal headphones in devices that weren't meant to support headsets but Apple (or someone around that time) came along and switched up the order so that a 4 pin headset would be backwards compatible with a 3 pin jack -- a superior setup I say hesitantly, with the only con being that old headsets and new jacks are incompatible and new headphones with old (4 pin) jacks. If Asus is using the old standard, then an iPhone headset would not work and if Asus is using the new standard, then an old headset would not work.
Finally, it works!
I wanted to use an external audio source. You have to connect the cable first to the transformer, and AFTERWARDS connect the other side to the audio source. Only in this order the internal mic becomes deactivated.
If there is any signal on the cable while plugging it in into the Transformer, the internal mic is still active. I've attached my "cable construction".
The side with 4 pins goes into the transformer the 3 pins into a mono audio source (normal Headset Output). This works fine for me since I'm only recording voice (mono channel).
Problem solved!

i have Sony DR-BT21G which pair for both phone and media playback, but i cannot get my Sennheiser PX 210 BT to pair with media. They pair with phone which is kind of useless since they don't have a mic, but i cannot get them to pair for music playback. The Sennheisers worked great on my Nokia N900. Gingerbread is supposed to tweak Bluetooth so i am waiting for OTA update from my carrier (Wind) before i experiment with ROMs.
SOLVED found an options menu for the headset, unchecked use for phone, checked, use for media, and it works GREAT!
UPDATE: Sennheiser remote controls do not work. No NEXT TRACK, PAUSE/PLAY etc.
No problem staying connected to my blueant v1 or my car. What ROM are you on?
Works well with my Moto S9-HD and 8xxPlantronics headsets, both for phone use and music. Didn't notice any difference after gb update from stock.
Tonight I made my first accessory purchase at the local Verizon store... as their prices have always been pretty bad, but I have a military discount of 15%, so I bit the bullet and purchased an iBolt cradle system. If you haven't seen it, there is a review in the accessory section, it's pretty spot on, but this important update is for those of us who don't have A2DP streaming in the car, and are forced to use the AUX IN jack.
Long story short, when using this dock, you have the option of sending the sound thru your micro USB port or out the phones speaker in back. This dock comes with a nine foot long cable that has micro USB at one end, and regular USB and a 3.5mm audio jack at the other. This beautiful setup allows you to not touch the evil headphone jack (trump card) on the phone, but rather it lets you the phone play music out the USB connection while retaining Bluetooth phone connectivity thru your cars Bluetooth connection! (while charging)
Silly that I had to buy a $32 device to get functionality that the AT&T version of our phone has natively... but at least it's fixed!
Not trying to be a jerk or anything, but what is the advantage of playing music through the USB instead of bluetooth? I actually like the BT option - plays music but pauses when a call come in and lowers the volume for GPS directions. Works great all at the same time...

There's a large portion of G3 owners who do not have bluetooth streaming (A2DP). Just because you have bluetooth phone connectivity does not mean you have bluetooth streaming. We are forced to use the aux in jack in the car to listen to music. I think a large portion of S3 owners simply tried to use the headphones jack on the phone... But if you do that, you cannot use bluetooth. Every sound is routed thru the headphones jack. You cannot toggle this.
So, using the iBolt cradle, witch ports the sound out via usb instead of the headphones jack, I am able to retain my cars bluetooth functionality.
Side note, not sure if you know this, but the sound quality of bluetooth streamed music is pretty bad compared to a cabled connection.

I'd recommend this if you don't have BT streaming: http://www.monoprice.com/products/p...=10827&cs_id=1082704&p_id=9472&seq=1&format=2
That combined with a USB car charger to keep it charged at all times would maybe be a nice way to solve your issue for ~$30
Note: I don't own the product, but the reviews are good and it seems it would just be nice to have.

A day after I purchased the iBolt I received this little gadget in the mail from ebay.
USB Bluetooth Adapter
For under $10 it gives you the same A2DP bluetooth audio streaming. But, the difference is it doesn't sound nearly as good for the lower end of the spectrum. But, in a pinch it's awesome, and for the price, you can't beat it. I have it as a backup for now.
I took about 30 min and hid the iBolt cabling today. I like the fact that I moved the cradle to the top left of the windshield, away from the center console. Will post some pics later today of the install.
I am surprised at how easy the phone is to use with my left hand, from the steering wheel. Retaining the bluetooth functionality, specificallly my integrated microphone, really makes this work around worth every penny. Hope it helps someone else!
Oh well now I understand. Thanks for clarifying. Of course I didn't mean any offense.

Could anybody solve my problem? My car doesn't have a usb port so I cant use the iBolt to play music through it. I use the cassette player to audio jack and use bluetooth talk through my car speakers. Is there a solution to use bluetooth while using the audio jack?

Yes. I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner, but on anther board, someone brought this up and it works, albeit ghetto'ish.
Mount the phone somewhere in the car where you can speak towards the mic. Plug the cassette tape adapter into the headphones jack. When a call comes in, just answer the phone keeping the headphone jack in use, and the sound will come thru your stereo, but the mic you will be using is the one on the phone. Talked to multiple people who all heard me just fine. (even with the mic pointed downwards!)

The cable is exactly the right length to mount the ibolt anywhere in the car, hell I think we could mount it on the rear window, lol! There is space behind the base of the center console where you can tuck away any extra cable you have before you route the cable to the jacks. I decided to use an add on 2.1a USB car charger (cig lighter adapter) vs the cars internal USB as I don't think the MINI USB pumps out anything more than 450 mA (1\4 what the adapter puts out I bought seperately)

Does that require a custom Recovery and/or ROM, perhaps? I'd like to keep things relatively stock for now, though am OK with tweaks. Plus, the iBolt looks convenient to use in my car.

When a call comes in, just answer the phone keeping the headphone jack in use, and the sound will come thru your stereo, but the mic you will be using is the one on the phone. Talked to multiple people who all heard me just fine. (even with the mic pointed downwards!)

I know I can do that but I want to use the bluetooth in my car to make calls(my car doesn't have bluetooth audio only calls). When I use the headphone jack to make calls people say their voice echoes back but if I use the cars bluetooth its fine.
