Hey does anyone know where to get or what size the 3.5mm (Length wise) headset jack is? It seems to be longer than the standard 3.5mm Headset jack. Is this on all Chinese branded phones? Any info is appreciated.
Thanks

Heres a picture I took.
The white headphone cable came with the phone, and is slightly longer and so fits in the phone properly. The black headphone cable is standard 3.5mm and does not fit in the phone properly.
It would be great if anyone else had any info on this, or maybe some headphones with longer 3.5mm, or an adapter?
I think it would be possible to make a DIY adapter out of the headphones they give you but that would be quite inconvenient
Yeah this is a design flaw, I think once they manufactured the phones and found out the 3.5mm problem they put a cheap pair of 3.5mm headphones with a longer plug that would fit, and shipped it with the phone. At first I thought my jack was broken, than I found the design problem. I would have preferred a modified adapter that would allow standard 3.5mm headphones, since they went ahead and shipped it anyway!
This is the difference between some Chinese design/manufactures, vs USA, Japan, German. The attention to detail. This would have not made it out the door with this problem. But then again it would cost 3 times as much also!

The USB connection kit is nice, but rather annoying as it makes everything stick out like crazy. Not exactly the best if you want to watch a movie while holding the tab or something like that. I bought a cheap third part USB host adapter for the P1000 - one with a female USB connector on the end of a short cable - and glued it all together to one lump. I then paired it with a tiny microSDHC reader. The result is a much more compact external storage solution that does the job of allowing me to transfer files to a USB drive instead of the tablet itself while not making the tablet annoying to hold afterwards. This is just the first prototype though, I've ordered more or these things and an planning on taking them apart to see if I can eliminate some wires and plastic to make it even smaller. Don't want to risk breaking this one while I wait for those though, so "boring mode DIY" so far.

Looks good! Have to look into this myself. Thanks.
Got four more such adapters today (they're $2.90 shipped worldwide so can't exactly complain about the price - btw, they're not originally for the P1000 as stated in the first post, but rather the 10.1).
Tore one down to see what I was dealing with below the casing and it's a pretty straight forward set of internal components that aren't glued to the casing or anything like that. The next step (i.e. the next adapter I make) will be to re-solder the wires shorter, right now I just let the cable stick out one side. The difference in thickness when getting rid of the housing is pretty nice.
Hi,
Is Sennheiser CX300-II, compatiable with i9000 model. I am planning to buy it, but not sure whether it is compatible or not..
yes galaxy i9000 is compatible with any headpohne you can buy...
thanks... recently i bought sony ericsson MH-610. It is not compatiable with i9000
Must have been setup using the iPhone TRRS layout and not the regular one. There are tiny crossover adapters you can get for earphones like this.

Personally, I'm using a set of SoundMagic E10's as they are both inexpensive and high quality. http://www.head-fi.org/t/635436/soundmagic-e10-vs-sennheiser-cx-300-ii
For good quality adapter, check the FiiO LU1 and LU2 adapters.
I am using LU2 with Sony MH1c, which are really fantastic earphones for the price. Have not heard CX300-II, but did hear CX300 and was not impressed with it's sound which lacked details and control.
There is also Sony MH1, which have the SE Xperia pinout, which is the same as in SGS.

I formerly used these for my I9000, and they worked fine. I'm now using the CX400-II for better sound, and they also work fine (also the volume rocker works).
Had them, worked fine, but after 3 months or sth they started to lose their sound and especially their volume!
Figured I'd share what I found while surfing for headphone amps.
http://www.head-fi.org/t/658619/fireye-mini-review
The new Firestone Audio Fireye Mini is one of the smallest headphone amplifiers in the world, and offers improved sound quality across the board with all iPod, iPad, iPhones and virtually any MP3 player with a 3.5mm headphone output.
No matter if you have an iPod Touch or an iPod Nano, the Fireye Mini will provide you with better sound quality, with improved bass response and authority, and the ability to drive a more difficult load than woudl otherwise be possible.
The Fireye Mini could not be easier to use, simply charge via USB connection to your computer, and then connect to the headphone output of your portable music player, to enjoy great sound on the go.

This thing is TINY. And apparently it'll give a small volume boost, but the impressive thing is that since it has more power, you get more clarity and better bass. And it goes for ~20 hours on rechargeable battery, which is kinda neat.
$40 at Amazon Prime and available in like six different colors.

Yeah, it's the little tiny purple box in this pic. Also available in black & other various colors.

NOTE: This will NOT work with microphones. So if your headphones have mics, then you can use this with the headphone but the microphone won't work as long as this is attached.
Alright folks! I got these http://www.orangedove.net/images/ims-1/354_cs-2.jpg (photo isn't mine) since 2007 and I love them, but the left speaker doesn't have any audio coming from it.
Here's how it goes.

Using the earphones jack, it's like connecting directly to the computer, because even with the speakers switched off, audio do comes from this jack.
My plain speakers work fine (L&R audio).
PC audio jack works fine (because as I said, when connecting something in the earphones jack, L&R do work fine).
But whatever I plug in the woofer (the speakers audio jack), the audio comes from the right side only. If I pull out a bit the jack from the woofer then the audio comes from both speakers but actually it's not stereo but mono with the right output, coming from both speakers.
I disassembled it:

Now the thing is how to find a solution making the left speaker work again. The issue comes either from the woofer or the control panel. Sometimes when I push a bit the cables and the woofer, I get it working but for a limited time or until I move them again. I'm 90% sure that the issue resides in the woofer's audio jack. And it seems a bit tricky to replace it (never tried soldering etc).
Gosh, I wish I could change the title... Not working? Seriously? *doesn't work* should it be. Mod edit: Fixed that for you
Hey XDA,
Here is my review of the 2015 Anker Bluetooth 4.0 Speaker including HD pics. I purchased this from Amazon UK for £39.99 and I'm sure it's available from your countries Amazon.
These speakers although small pack a serious punch and deliver crisp highs as well as bass heavy lows, a brilliant all-rounder with a premium look and feel. They are one of ankers newest devices in their audio range and they definitely do not disappoint, with a modern look, easy to use buttons with likewise connectivity and the added benefit of an AUX 3.5mm input.
These speakers will outperform anything within it's price range however you use it, whether connected directly to a PC watching a movie or pumping out your the latest songs on your phone, although I found I prefer it for gaming and movies. I had also recently bought a Xiaomi Mi Bluetooth speaker for around the same price and honestly it's just tucked away under this Anker one now.
Every device that is bluetooth enabled should work, that's including PCs and laptops (which from experience do not always work over bluetooth) and if not the 3.5mm jack offers a seamless connection with difficulty to other and/or older devices such as basic MP3 players.
Overall I genuinely cannot fault this speaker it has far exceeded expectations and also blown every other one I own out of the water!
