So the audio cable from my speakers (just plain logitech ones) won't plug into my Nexus 4 when I have the bumper installed because it doesn't fit. Is this normal or should I be filing for an RMA?
Take off the bumper and drill the hole bigger.
Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.
looks like Google and LG never tested that as the phone does not come with headphones
what kind of 3.5mm? just a L shaped?
Anyone Else?
Has anyone else suffered this? I'm about to order one, but this would be a deal breaker for me! Any good, minimal alternatives if it is a design fault?

I have run into this issue. I already ordered some extra N4 cases to replace my bumper. Headphone 3.5mm plug work just fine. The only types of cable that do not work are 3.5mm Aux cables that i use on my car and home stereo.
I have sennheiser cx300's. They have a L jack. Its a bit of a tight fit with the bumper but it works nicely.

Like I mentioned in the bumper thread....
It depends on the plug and the plastic housing of the plug. Where my Sol Republic AMPS HD, Sol Republic Ultras, and the V-Moda Crossfade LPs. All of them plug in fine.
However, for example the Shure SE215's DO NOT fit with the bumper on. It's really a trial and error when it comes to using the bumper.
Either buy/use other headphones that fit. Unless someone else has a work around like adding a headphone extender on amazon or other online retailer.

EDIT: I have not tried this and according to the site, mics aren't supported.
Weird, I thought these things were standardized. It's not Logitech's fault, it's a standard L-shaped 3.5mm connector. Weird that it doesn't fit though.
My MEElectronics earbuds work fine and they're L-shaped too.

My Sol Republic sets are "L" shaped and fit fine. The thing is the L is really really thin at the adapter.
My L shaped headphones don't fit, bought an adapter
take a razor blade and shave off some of the rubber/plastic at the base of the plug where it is sticking. then take a lighter and melt it just a touch to clean up your edges.
for those that dont have the phone and or dont have a bumper yet... the headphone jack is recessed in the curves of the phone. then when you add in the 1/8" of the bumper... it is understandable as to why some headphone jacks are too fat to fit all the way.

ok, was bummed to find out that both my car chargers didn't work with the atrix 2, so i picked up the car dock today at the at&t store for $40. i'll preface this with the fact that this dock is $99 at motorola, $59 from amazon, but only $40 from at&t.
this is probably the best accessory purchase i have ever made for any device i have ever owned, lol. seriously. it's well constructed, sticks firmly to the windshield (can also mount to dash), the dc plug has 2 ports on it, the usb cable also carries audio and has a 3.5mm jack plug, the dock can accommodate a small case, the usb plug on the dock can be removed and flipped for the 4g and it charges, lol
some pics i took of it tonight

for $40, you can't go wrong. at&t wanted $30 for one of the generic dc plug with a coiled cable things, so for $10 more and 60% less than what motorola wanted and $20 cheaper than amazon, i couldn't pass on the deal.
if you're looking for a car charger or vehicle mount solution, pick this up before at&t realizes their price point is off, lol
You think it would work with the commuter case or not?
Hmm, I almost pulled the trigger but I've already got a gps that does all of that

not sure, if you look at this pic
you can see the insert used to fit a phone without a case, if the commuter is about that thick, then it should work
I have the commuter case and it doesnt work with the hard shell but you can easily put it in there with the silicone case still on it not too much of an inconvenience only takes me about 10 secs to get off the case and put it back on.
I picked mine up today and It works with the Red speck case they sell. its a nice fit too. Im going to look at the multimedia dock and see if it also fits with the speck case.
I've asked this in another thread, so I'm sorry if I'm coming across as annoying...
Can someone who has the car dock and a multi-meter check the resistance value between the usb pins (specifically between pins 4 & 5)? I've made my own dock (I realize I could have bought the dock, but I like making things like this, and I think it turned out fairly nice) but it's still missing the audio out through the usb. I'm still working off the assumption that the car dock mode is triggered via a specific resistor value on the ID pin and the audio out is with pins 2 & 3 (pin 5 is the common ground).
Again, sorry for bringing this up again in another thread, but I still haven't gotten anyone to make the measurement yet.
Thanks!
I bought this dock for my wife's Sensation, and tried it on my MT4GS, and it fitted without a problem.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007CU1XZM
when the HTC Sensation is fitted, the headphone socket is obscured, but with the MT4GS you can slide the display up of course and expose the headphone jack. It does shift the centre of gravity which could be a problem.
the fit is quite tight you if you do have a case you'll have to remove it - or at least the case back if you have the keyboard open.
if anyone wants, I'll take a photo with it fitted.
I guess you could drill out a whole for a headphone....
Here's the US market version. http://www.amazon.com/Aftermarket-Product-Charging-Replacement-Sensation/dp/B006VAKXZA

The phone sits pretty well, the keyboard is a little bit slid out as the phone is a bit thicker, and there's no access to the power button. Pretty good thing for 9 bucks value. I'm considering about adopting this dock for my car and it would be nice to have audio-out also there at the same time. Anybody done this?

Well, I bought different dock (also for Sensation) for $10, which you can see in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1710736
I had the same idea as you do, to use it as a "stand" in my car. I have tried that in a "dry test" and it seemed like a good idea at first, so I ordered second dock and when it arrived I just placed it on rubbery-gel mat on my dashboard and voila - good to go, or so I thought.
Unfortunately when I started to drive with it, the phone rattles. Placing thin rubber strips didn't help, it only eliminated the noise, but the phone was still (silently now) rattling there on the dock while driving. I was afraid this constant vibration will damage the microUSB port sooner or later, since the port is the only thing holding the phone on the dock, and after couple days I quit using it. Also inserting and removing phone to/from dock wasn't comfortable, because my windshield is at pretty high angle I couldn't just insert phone into dock or remove it from dock, unfortunately I had to take the whole dock towards steering wheel to do it.
I'm just placing my phone on a dashboard mat against the fold (so it stays in horizontal mode upright) and plug the sound cable from my wifi transmitter and power cable if needed. This way is the most convenient way for me. If I won't forget I'll take some pictures.
Anyways, I would strongly advise against using any desktop docks in a car, because - regardless of dock's model or shape - they all have 1 thing in common: phone is being hold there just by the microUSB plug, which is not designed for this purpose, and it is rather delicate and easy to damage (once I broke miniUSB plug in my HTC TyTN II just by slightly prying phone into the dock because I was too lazy to get up in my bed... and the miniUSB socket by design is way sturdier than this crappy microUSB socket in our MT4GS).
Driving will cause the phone to shake/vibrate/rattle in the dock on your dashboard, and I am sure it will cause damage to the microUSB port sooner or later.
HTH
Thanks for the advice. Went to ebay for the official mytouch car kit with holder (with intergrated micro-USB connector) and found one for just a 10.5 bucks + S&H cost. Unfortunately, that seller doesn't ship internationally So I found another one, this time it costed total of 28 bucks. But for such price I get an ultimate solution.
Nice
I've had my nexus 5 for a couple weeks now and started using it instead of my iPod classic for music since I can access all my songs at work through google play.. Well, when I do use my phone to listen, not only must I remove the official bumper case, but the tiniest little bump of the headphone jack will cause it to pop out. It's as if it is spring loaded and ready for the slightest touch. I'll have it in my pocket and if I get bumped, the music will shut off because the phone thinks the headphones have been taken out.
Anyone confirm this issue? Should I RMA? My headphones have a custom cable made using a Neutrik NTP3RC-B 3.5mm plug so it's not like the connector is crappy. It's a professional quality connector..

If there's nothing stuck in the jack, There could be a chance that the custom plug is not thick enough, or too short as well, I'm able to try 3 different
Headphones on 2 nexuses 5 and all combinations click in strongly. The cases i use have a big aperture though.
Try with another headphones before anything.
Here are two different plugs. One being the culprit, one being a $2 cheap cord that indeed plugs in fine. The neutrik adapter doesn't seem to click flush like the cheap cable.. Don't understand why, they are the same length..

Looks like that dome it has at the base of the connector isn't agreeing with the N5's socket. Guess an option would be to use an adapter. I use a portable amp myself so I never encounter this problem.

Makes sense. Kinda crappy. I noticed inside the headphone jack at the bottom there is a little piece of blue plastic which has some marks in it from the headphone plug. I'm guessing this is preventing it from clicking fully, but I also assume that it is there to keep dust/dirt out of the inside of the phone.
Every phone I've ever owned always has some issue with the headphone jack that drives me crazy. I don't have the need for a headphone amp as I use Shure SE535 IEM's which are insanely easy to drive. I'll just stick with my 160GB iPod
Hey,
I bought a Spigen eo Hybrid case for my Nexus 5. I like to use Sennheiser headphones with it for music playback the 90 minute trip on the transit each way to and from work. Trouble is the headphone jack doesn't fit the recessed hole in the case.
I thought I could find a 3.5 to 3.5 slim adapter for them but the only thing after an hour of Googling is a 3.5mm to 3.5mm slim IPhone audio adapter.
Any suggestions on what I can do other then buy a headset?
Peace...
Is there any reason the iphone one won't work? It's just a 3.5mm to 3.5mm adapter isn't it? the iPhone part is probably just a name they add to it for marketing purposes.

True that!
@OP
You can even take a sharp razor and cut a small portion of the case to widen the hole. However, this may lead to some lint accumulation on that area.
I've used a razor in the past to shave the headphone plug slimmer to accommodate the smaller hole.

i bought an IPhone 3.5 to 3.5 slim headphone jack adapter, it does with with my 280 Pro headphones. Just tested it with my headset, mic works as well. So for $2 or so from Amazon and maybe a couple bucks shipping you can use any headphone with any case.

Hello, I'm searching for covers for audio jack and type-c ports. As long as I don't use them at all I don't want the dust to get in.
So, first I would like to have some plastic (I suppose) covers (just the covers) to use them with my Samsung Clear View Standing Cover.
Secondly, one case that have the covers.
Any suggestions, please?
Thanks,
Bill
Offhand the Otterbox Commuter is the only case I can think of that has port flaps.

The Zizo ION also has flaps for USB C and headphone jack. Doesn't really show in their amazon pics but it does have them. Was honestly surprised

It's rated for water resistance & even then,don't count on Samsung backing up that claim.
Here's an excerpt from the Samsung US Warranty terms:
https://www.samsung.com/us/Legal/Phone-HSGuide/
What is not covered?
This Standard Limited Warranty is conditioned upon proper use of the Product.
This Standard Limited Warranty does not cover: (a) defects or damage resulting from accident, misuse, abnormal use, abnormal conditions, improper storage, exposure to liquid, moisture, dampness, sand or dirt, neglect, or unusual physical, electrical or electromechanical stress; (b) scratches, dents and cosmetic damage, ........................
TLDR:
Count on Samsung not covering repairs due to water intrusion.

Can you use this case without the screen protector, or do they offer an option without it? I like the idea of using a case with covers for the USB-C and headphone ports but not with a built-in screen protector.
