So i have a pair of phillips earphones with 3.5mm* jack but my phone needs 3.5mm and i know i need to buy a adapter.. but which one? female male? i dont understand those..!edit
I see you've made more than a couple of threads on the same topic but they are in different sections of XDA, TBH it doesn't help get you better answers.
You also need to elaborate your problem a bit in detail so that someone could help.
With the little info I have from your other threads it seems that you're trying to get that mic which is in your earphones to work with your mobile. First of all you don't need an adapter as you've 3.5 mm headset along with a 3.5mm socket in your handset which are compatible.
In some cases the mic in the earphones won't be compatible with your device unless & until it's mentioned. So you need to look for another headset with a mic which is compatible with your handset.
Cheers !

Ok....I've fought with finding an adapter to go from 2.5mm to 3.5mm for ages now. Everything I've read indicates it needs to be 4 pole etc etc....I'm aware of that. However, every one I've tried is still producing mono output. For kicks, I've tried the following ALL with mono results:
-Blackberry Pearl stereo headset
-RadioShack catalog #274-004 3/32" to 1/8" Stereo Headset adapter (why wouldn't this work?)
-Just Wireless 08351 Stereo Adapter 2.5mm to 3.5mm from (Target/BestBuy)
-BodyGlove Stereo Sport Headset 7489401 (BestBuy)
Now, when I say these produce mono output, what I'm really saying is that there is only one channel of audio whatsoever...the other earpiece is totally silent.
Anyone had any luck finding something at a retailer without ordering online? I'll order if I have too though. Thanks.

remeber google is your friend!
(btw, this is a 4 pole connector, the reason why all they othere ones youve tried doesnt work is cause they were three poled and the contacts dont match up)
The specs on this RadioShack adapter is specifically 4 pole....I checked that first. In fact, the packaging description reads:
"Turns a 3/32" 4-pole wireless phone headset jack into a 1/8" stereo headphone jack"
Check this link and you'll see what I'm talking about: http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2603246&cp
I knew it needed to be 4 pole, and that's what I'm saying...every supposed 4 pole adapter I've tried hasn't worked.
Any other ideas?
NOTE: Also note I said I tried the Blackberry Pearl headset, which is also a 4 pole headset jack on taht phone so theoretically that headset should have worked perfectly.
i used to work at radioshack and i can tell you they dont carry any adapters that work with smartphones, i cant tell how many customers came in looking for the same thing.. the adapter on ebay works its just like the one i have
The problem is simple. Look at the base of the 2.5mm jack on the headphones that came with your phone, then look at the base of the 2.5mm jack on the adapter. You will notice that the base of the adapter is way bigger than those on the headphones and this prevents you from pushing the adaptor as far in the hole as it needs to be.
Stupid idiots at The Source were trying to tell me that it wouldn't work because of voltage...
Anyways, when buying an adapter, just make sure that the base of the 2.5mm is small enough so that it'll fit into the recessed 2.5mm in your phone. It is okay if it's just the three pin plug, it will still be in stereo.
I have trouble finding compatible 2.5mm headset for the 2125 so i was wondering if there was a way to use a usb headset with the phone, sorry if its a stupid quesdtion.

Never heard of such a thing. Nearly all cellular hands free "headsets" are 2.5mm, so I guess you really mean headphones. Just buy a 3.5mm to 2.5mm adapter for your headphones.

nearly all pda's actually use mini usb headsets(TYTN,EXCALIBUR/DASH,etc.) i was wondering if these headsets could some how be used with the 2125. I cant find a 2.5mm headset that will play through both ear buds.
you can always find one 2.5mm stereo headset (the one come with tornado works great). I myself enjoy using the 2.5mm to 3.5mm stereo headset adapter with my own boss headphone, it gives a really good quality sound. Try to get one from ebay

Um... little rusty on all the models, but not many of those are smartphones. Lots of adapters out there that do work. Unlikely any USB solution will. Not for poor little Tornado.
you guys are probably right, but i lost my headset that came with it and i want to buy another one with a mic you guys know any compatible ones?
Anything with a 2.5mm jack should be compatible. Have you considered a BT A2DP headphones/handsfree set?
I'm using a C3 from Sonorix and it's rather spiffy.

Remote control for music, call display, comes with and takes a standard 3.5mm headphones. Mic is in the clip-on receiver. Better with those newer shorter/detachable headphones so you don't have a mile of cable dangling about.
Crushers and S9s
I use the SkullCandy Crusher ONEs as a full sized wired headset on my SP5. http://www.a2zboardshop.com/more/59603905-Skullcandy-Skull-Crusher-Headphones-with-Subwoofer/. This headset\microphone is 2.5mm four connector by default and comes with a 3.5mm three connector slip-over adapter which I find so much better than a 3.5mm female to 2.5mm male dongle when you use your phone.
For wireless, I had been using the Motoroloa S9 and could have lived with the ugle orange\red accents but the phone calls are always in single channel mono. The soon to be released S9-HD is all black and you can hear the caller in both ears.
I would be interested in any in-ear stereo headset with a 2.5mm four connector plug. Even more so if it had a a microphone.

Beat that!!
I have one exactly like this and it works great. Good luck!
Hey there,
I just bought the full metal jacket earbuds from skullcandy and there is an in-line answer call button. BUT, it's not working with my Raphael... I was wondering if someone have a solution to this problem. I used an adapter usb-3.5mm, I can't answer with the button and the people can't ear.
Plz help!!!
Alright... I think I found the answer to my problem... The adapter I have is a 3.5mm to mini-usb 6 pins, and I found one 3.5mm to mini-usb 11 pins. I think this gonna work with the call button!!!
Here is the web site of the adapter I found :

I hope it gonna work!!!
hello everyone,
I hava a t-mobile MDA compact iv (htc touch diamond) and listen to music through my earbuds often. Now i developed a deafness in one ear due to a benign tumor near my hearing nerve. Therefore when i listen to stereo music i can only use one earbud and thus miss out on one channel.
I cannot use a simple adapter jack-plug because my phone doesn't have a normal jack.
So here's my question. Is it possible to write a simple app that will combine both channels to a mono signal, so i can hear both in one ear?
I think more people would like it because they often only use one earbud to keep one ear free. I used to do that at work before i turned deaf on my right side.

these are the droids you are looking for
Thanks Rudegar,
Maybe i wasn't quit clear on this, my phone (like htc touch diamond) does not have a 3.5mm jack. It only has a mini-usb and needs the original headphones with a mini-usb connector. So thanks for the effort but these cables or adapters just won't help.
What i could do is use one adapter to go from mini-usb to 3.5mm jack, and then use another adapter (like the ones you just showed) to convert it to mono. But then i would either extend my phone by at least 2 inches or my cable would become a lot longer. That is a solution of course but not very practical. I have looked into these options and in my opinion an app like i asked about would be the most practical solution. So, if anyone can help. please...
it don't have a pure miniUSB converter it have extUSB
which is usb pins plus normal audio pins all extUsb -> 3.5mm converters work
http://www.google.com/search?source...inijack&btnG=Google-søgning&meta=lr=&aq=f&oq=
Thanks again Rudegar, but i'd rather have a small app to do the trick. I think it must be possible, just don't know how. So if anybody can help.

Not sure of any specific PPC application to do what you want but instead of say having an adapter you could just batch recode your music to mono before transfer to phone many freeware apps on the market to do this.
Coreplayer allows you to play your music in mono. Go to Tools\Settings\Audio and set 'Stereo mode' to 'Mono Join'
thanx, i'll try that.
Hey!
Anyone knows if it's possible to connect a external microphone in the 3.5mm jack. Would be nice to be able to plug in a better microphone when recording music shows etc. Shouldnt it be possible since you can speak through the htc-headset?
I don't think that you can plug a mic in it, this jack is "way-out" only, not "in"...
At least i never tried, but i guess it's how it works (if anyone can confirm this or prove me wrong ).
It's a 4 pin 3.5mm TRRS connector. It has a mic connector built in as well as the audio and ground.
I don't know if you can get a microphone with that specific connector, look it up and see... but it would be pretty easy to make your own connector if you cannibalise a headset or something like that and then connect whatever mic you wanted to that.
Not sure about the quality, but dealextreme sku.20714 seems like to fit your description.
I bought one of these some time ago to connect my Klipsch headphones.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/3-5mm-Headpho...GS-/280544944694?pt=UK_Mobiles_Accessories_RL
It is still recognised as a headset even when there are no headphones plugged into it.
So the quality for what you want is probably poor BUT it does prove that it can be done.
Perhaps one of these PLUS a good quality mic PLUS a soldering iron is the answer
