Thanks

Couldn't wait for someone else to report back, so ordered one myself.
I bought the desktop cradle from Lee262online, and was happy with that, so I'm pretty confident it should be GR8! Also for $28USD delivered you can't go too wrong
Will post back once received and tested.

Thanks.. let us know when you receive it

Update: Gutted
10 days after paying for the holder and waiting for it to arrive, I inquired to get conformation that it had been sent and got this reply:
We are out of stock now.
If the item is arrive , we will shipped to you immediately.
If you can not wait, we can refund to you.
Thanks.

So I replied to find out if they knew when they expect the next shipment and got exactly the same reply.
Then on Lee262online's feedback I noticed an heavily increased amount of 's and someone who ordered the same item for the Elf had commented the window sucker didn't stick and the arms snapped off.
So I opted for the refund which, in Lee's defence, did come though without a problem. So I'm not out of pocket but back to the drawing board to find a reasonably priced car cradle with charger and speaker

I bought this one, no problem with shipping, arrived after 3 days. The speaker works great, but when using the headphone 2.5 mm jack to connect it to my car stereo (To listen to music, iPod like) the sound has no bass. Still looking for a solution. Works great as it keeps your phone charging so no battery drain from, GPS!
Quality is great, great plastics. Holds very good. No complaints at all.

eu26..it does look cool.. but at US40, like a little ex leh. I m in Singapore. tt will cost me abt S$60.. but it only ship to US only... don't think I can gt it in singapore.

Isn't lack of bass a general problem with the Trinity - there are quite a few threads on this and possible solutions IIRC.

It's garbage... I can live with it's crappy sound from the speaker, but what I can't live with is this:
* The phone thinks you're using a carkit, and thus the microphone is disabled. When answering the phone, the other party cannot hear you.
* The speaker buzzes when sms messages arrive or when you trinity is using gprs, just as you hear when you place your trinity near any speaker system.
These are major design flaws and make this thing useless.
The seller didn't bother to reply to me, as I had (mistakenly) already given him good points for the transaction on eBay. He probably figured: I've got my good score, nothing I need to do now.

Good Morning
I am also pissed at this product.It useless if the mic is disconnected.I am told that its is done on purpose because of a safty issue.
Is there no way to overcome this issue with a software mod.How does trinity know its on a craddle? On a normal charger the mic works fine.
THanks

[Q] Working headphone adapters

i have the akg k370 whcih dont work with my SGS, since the order of the pins is differend (mic and ground are switched).
since i love that headset im looking for a working adaptor
i couldnt find any in the internet
so far i managed to solder my own from an old adapter which didnt use its microphone pin.
but since it looks...lets say...selfcrafted im looking for one that works that u dont have to cut open and change the pins your self (or add a wire as i did)
if u know of any working ones which use all 4 pins and switch ground and mic pls tell me where i can buy em...

Similar issue here. I have Dr. Dre Beats and from what I've found from reading through is that I need to switch the ground/mic wires? I can do this if necessary and can even get a nice job done of it, but wouldn't this break my headset for other phones/players?
Point being a nice adapter would be sweet.

I bought this one, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290460258359&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Still waiting it gets here.

Surely if the ground connection was different then no standard plugs/phones would work or does the phone dynamically change the ouputs on pins depending on what's plugged in (since it has to support tv out as well)?

got the same ones, they work fine.

those adaptors and the nokia ones work, but they make the cable too long besides considering that the headsets mentioned already has a mic and you add another adaptor mith a mic, its simpler to just have an adaptor that switches the mic and ground terminals around
so what i did is i made this

i took my nokia ad-57 adaptor, cut the wire, cannibalized a female 3.5mm 4pole from some generic adaptor, soldered the wire so that ground from the 3.5male is soldered to the second ring from tip. thus, simply, the female of the adaptor is wired like an iphone compatible, and the male is wired galaxy s compatible.
if you cant be bothered to diy, you can get this http://www.kvconnection.com/product-p/km-354r3m-r2f.htm
but at 18$ plus shipping, i just think it is too expensive, lol

Another adapter.It's the same as yours but is way too expensive too http://www.kvconnection.com/product-p/km-354r3m-r2f.htm
The good thing is that it's premade. No soldering and cutting

damn, that's expensive. but I guess it'll be worth it to make my "expensive" headphones work, lol.

i found one on DX, comes with MIC so you can asnwer the phone and listen without taking out the headphones
waiting for it to arrive and test to see if it's compatible with SGS

I had to stick black tape around my mic button on the headphones I used to use on my iPhone, I kept the same headphones cause they were amazing sound and pricey and didn't want to chuck them away, Didn't realize it would be a problem lol, I want one of these adapters from a Uk store

Ordered an adapter from KVConnection, works like a charm! I think it's worth the price, considering I didn't have the time/tools/parts to make this by myself.

You can say that the adapter is good, perfect,excellent,nice,ok,etc but not worth at all 17$ for wires is pure stealing

I got a blackberry headset from my local street market. The earphones that came with it sound horrible, and the mic is a bit soft. There is no need to change anything however and the button works.
I'm planning on using it with the aux in of my car radio. With computer speakers it seemed to work (no echo). And it works well with a headphone.

Which headphones are you now using? Do they support media playback (next, previous, or volume) controls
I really want to know before I pay for the ripoff adapter from the kvs. Site. Thanks!

[Q] High Quality FM Transmitters?

I commute for my new job, so I'm rockin' the wife's Jetta, which doesn't have XM like my truck does.
Anyone have a recommendation of a good FM transmitter for the G2x? Wired or Bluetooth would be fine, as long as I can also charge my phone while using it.
Thanks,
-bZj

Do you have a cassette player in that car? In my experience, the sound quality is a lot more reliable from the old cassette adapters like this adapter from Walmart

I have a duel radio in my car that connect with Bluetooth and has a ubs in the front that I use to charge my phone. It cost around $160. (With HD radio and CD player). I use a cheep air vent car mount for easy use.

This is very cool! Looks very functional.

While that is nice and clean looking,it seems as its just a wired FM modulator you can pick them up for as little as $14 and just charge your phone with a typical charger, if you are handy you can make a custom switch panel if you would like

if you want all the wires and a switch you can pick these up locally for around $30 http://www.amazon.com/Scosche-Audio-FM-Modulator-Universal/dp/B0007THIDQ

I ended up grabbing a Griffin iTrip. Works OK, and requires no tearing into the dash. I've done that before (wired my first XM unit), but I don't want to do it in the wife's car.

I bought one from Amazon over a year ago after reading many reviews. The GTMax Wireless In-Car Bluetooth FM Transmitter is the best one I have ever had. It's $50 and worth every penny. It has a good quality flexible stalk that plugs in to the lighter socket. It works without distortion thru a bluetooth connection in my car. There's 3.5mm input and output jacks and a usb charging port. It can amplify the signal to increase volume. The antenna broke off of the roof of my car and the reception is still perfect, the FM transmitter is very stong.

I picked up the same thing from buy.com for $35. Just came in the mail today - so far, I'm impressed.

I got the GTMax BT transmitter, and it made me return the iTrip. It works great!

based on the pictures, they both look like they are from GTMax... just one doesn't have the micro USB cables come with it. The output charging amerpage is decent at 1 amp. The dock and fm transmitter is a bonus and seems like you can't go wrong at this price. Based on reviews, it seems decent enough.
I trust XDA input over anything else though
Anyone on here have experience with these GTMax fm transmitters? Or could anyone somehow confirm they are both from GTMax?

You have a good taste in phones. I'm actually thinking about pick up a 240 on amazon, I'm not gonna lie, 100 bucks is pretty tempting. ALso had a sr80i before(left them in my hotel while I was on my trip in Singapore).....
Anyway, I'm more of a on-to-go person, I travel alot. So this is what I got

V-Moda Vibes
In ear, awesome bass, and really durable. I've had them for a few months and haven't had an issue. Never knew what they were capable of until I listened to "Lil Wayne - Nightmares of the Bottom" with the "beats mod" from the XE software. Bought them for about $75, but they're no longer available.
As far as Beats Headphone....eww!!!

Holy sheeet! Finally a thread that isn't about BEATZ. Newbs think that having beats make them an audiophile and that BASS IS EVERYTHINGGGZZZZ OMGZZZ.
Anyways here's my MS-1i, hoping to make a C-Moy amp soon and maybe get a headphone with a bigger soundstage, any to recommend ?

Im not a big spender on a pair of headphones but I have many pairs more than this I just don't use them anymore.
The skull candys were about $50. The amplifier requires a battery and it is heavy. The amplifier detached itself from my cloths and put a lot of stress on the audio jack so now only one earphone works. I put it up because I can still tweak it to get the other earphone to work and it has okay bass.
This is what I am currently using. Its nice because I can listen to music wirelessly (if that is a word) and the sound is alright with the right equalizer app.
If I am able to afford it, are there awesome headphones that are bluetooth or wireless in any way? And how much would they send my back?

Here's my headphone.

What would you guys recommend, in ear wise for around £70-80? Been looking at Shure se215 and a few of the klipsch S4 series
Cheers

I use these, only mine are in white - Creative EP-630.
It's really impressive what sound these babies can produce ..

These are the ones I have got them for about £50, checked them now and they're down to £40. RRP is £70, not sure how they compare with klipsch but they are good.

FiiO E06 Portable Amplifier - My HOX is rocking!

If your looking for a way to improve or crank up the volume and overall music experience on your HOX? Check out the FiiO E06 Portable Amplifier. I paid about $25 from Amazon and i have been rocking with HOX since Tuesday. I'm blown away by the performance of this little Amp and its only about 1"x1".
Still playing with my configuration, but Volume+ not really needed and Beats Audio is off. Currently, have Equalizer paid version installed since this morning. The Amp has three built in Equalizers and a volume rocker on one side, using Shure SE210's IEM's.

Yeah I'm not a big fan of whatever DAC is in the One X, at all. It's too bad we can't use an external one.
