I wish to use a standard earphone (other than that bundled by HTC) with 3.5 mm stereo pin. But the problem is that HTC accessories are not readily available in India. Now what I thought is, can we not make a homemade adapter by cutting a mini USB cable and connecting / soldering it with a standard 3.5mm stereo adapter. In that case the microphone of course will not work. I have read at HTC site that the mini USB of HTC vox (may be all other phones of HTC) is a propreitory 11 pin connector. So can a standard mini USB cable be satisfactorily used ?
Anybody has any idea ?
This is what I use with my VOX

it works perfect, and I got it delivered to my home in India.
but I dont use it anymore cause I have got the new Jabra BT3030 bluetooth stereo headset which is so perfect.
Thanks Prajith. I am thinking of buying one.
Also ebay
Do a search on ebay for "USB audio adapter for HTC Vox". They are very cheap.
JK
BUY IT from XDA DEVELOPERS STORE
Its available in the store.xda-developers.com
http://store.xda-developers.com/xproduct.php?xProd=1859

@naidu001
you can get two of the connectors I mentioned in that price.
and hey it can be used for charging too, which the connector you mentioned cannot.
Rightly said Prajith your conector has boyh USB mini and 3.5 jack. Actually I purchased a few things from another site where postage was further cheap at $3 per item. But it seems that cost of the items are cheaper at the link shown by Prajith.
Anyway I am searching for an adapter with miniUSB, 3.5 earphone jack and microphone too for answering calls. I know this will be avaialable but the shipping costs are main.
@parthabhatta
talk to some of the other windows mobile users near place and buy this together. That way shipping cost becomes very less and they may offer a discount also. I had bought 30 of those, now I have only one and that too I dont need.
I would seriously suggest that you try a bluetooth stereo headset, you would never again use a wired headset. Ever!
Let me know if any of you folks have bought this miniusb to 3.5 mm audio jack converter for Vox from xda store. How easy is to order one from there?
I live in Bangalore. Is there any one knows which is the right place here to find it?

I ordered it from brando shopping. I don't remember the price paid but they have a standard 3 $ per item charge for shipping anywhere. The item will reach you within a fortnight maximum.
The url is probably shop.brando.com.hk or google with brando shop and you will find the exact address. No extra customs duty etc has to be paid.
Thanks PrabhatBhatta,
i went to Bangalore's National Market and tried a few adaptors, none could really work actually. Then i tried a final one which is the same as seidio one, which worked atlast for me. I bargained it for Rs160.
Here is my goal: We purchased the gameklip for our phones, and I want to run emulators, and play some games with the video streaming to our mitsubishi 82" 82742 tv. (We'll also do various video mirroring to the tv, for things like ebook/ecomic reading, android based games, or other apps.)
Plans are to use the wireless version of the gameklip so the hdmi port is freed up for hdmi out/charging, so I'm looking to buy an hdmi out adapter/cable for our S3 1535 phones, but every product advert I see for them lists the 9300, not the 1535.
What are the difference between the phones, and should I be looking for something specific to the 1535? (I couldn't find any online comparisons between the verizon 1535 and the 9300.)
It looks like the hdmi adapters can be had for about $10 shipped on ebay or amazon.
We were running our old droidx phone's hdmi out to the tv before our new phones. It looks like the old droidx hdmi cable has a micro hdmi port for the phone, and the S3 adapters give you a full sized hdmi out.
I think I need the latest jellybean leak, the 9300 hdmi adapter, and a new 12' hdmi cable, or do those adapters also have a micro hdmi on them as well?
Also it sounds like to use the home theater, I'll also need to add a audio cable to plug into the home theater (or does the s3 hdmi out also pass through audio to the tv speakers? using the tv speakers would be fine.) Worse case I can use my bt stereo headset, but audio coming from the tv or home theater would be nice.
(Sorry for all the questions, but we are still on a learning curve coming from the DX.)
You want a 9305 quad core with 2gig of ram. i535 is only a dual core and the 9300 only has 1gig of ram.

I think you misunderstood my question. We already have the Verizon Galaxy S3 phones. we are looking to what we need to hook them up properly to our bigscreen tv to mirror video/audio out.
I'd Say go to Verizon buy an mhl adapter around$40 don't buy the cheap ones doesn't work well . it
allows you to mirror, games and all
Sent from my s3 using xda premium
Mhl is a service key piece that let's mhl compatible tvs to control the device remotely with the channel changer. Since most hdmi tvs don't have this (mhl) they make an adapter for basic hdmi out usage since it is different protocols.

I can confirm that the Samsung HDMI adapter that is specific for the S3 works for the I-535.
$20 on Amazon.

Thanks for the info, and relocating this to the proper location, Mod.
I also looked into wirelessly sending video/audio via the samsung allshare dongle for our tv, but it sounds like it still does not receive 1080p, and some people have all sorts of connect/frame dropout issues with that.
It sounds like the newest jellybean leaks improve the situation, but spending $80 hoping it gets resolved doesn't sound very practical to me.
I think we'll go with the mhl adapter. I checked my droidx cable, and it does have a full sized at one end, and a micro hdmi at the other end. 8(
Is monoprice still the best place for low prices on hi speed hdmi cables? I'll need a 12 footer to stretch from the couch to the phone.

Holy crap are they expensive! $10.50 plus shipping for a 1 foot long cable? Are they smoking crack?
I purchased 3 6 foot long hi speed hdmi cables off ebay just a few weeks ago for less than $10 shipped.
I haven't seen any validation for premium expensive hdmi cables anywhere... every time you read reviews, unless you are running extremely long distances (20 feet or more) everyone says all hi speed rated cables are pretty much the same regardless of price.

I might have looked at the wrong cables then. Thanks for that info again!
I have a feeling we'll just go with the hdmi adapter and the cable.. it sounds like the samsung allshare dongle just is not ready for prime time yet.
I saw the 45 dollar one google says and said no, is there a cheaper, good one? its been months! if not, can I break out the solder and make one myself? where can I buy the realtek chips?
If you need anything from Google (the shipping will probably be as much as the cable otherwise), try one of the $5 there. Even if it doesn't work at all (and from what I've seen, 3rd party accessories like that work as well as the factory ones) you only lose a few bucks, and have a C connector, an earphone jack and cable (and whatever may or may not be inside them). (Or there are a load of them on eBay for under a buck if you're willing to wait a month for shipping - https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_fr...15&_nkw=usb+c+earphone+adapter&rt=nc&LH_BIN=1 )
On second reading, the Pixel 2 only seems to implement digital audio, and most of the cheap devices assume analog audio, so probably not - you have to ask each vendor. The digital ones (with the DAC inside) seem to be cheaper than Google, but it's still a wait for China Post (https://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-C-Digi...936141?hash=item48a1f6914d:g:RucAAOSwL4BZsKvr ).
What Gido5731 fails to make clear yet again is that he is looking for an adapter that can charge via USB-C while outputting music.
Ahh. Cheaper? I think the only one available at the moment is the Moshi - $44.95 is the best (and only) price I've seen. I expect that we'll see some Chinese knockoffs in the future (at much reduced prices) - after all, the P2 is going to be current for at least 3 years, and a lot of people will keep them for another 2 or 3 years after that, so anyone making a dongle will have customers for a long time.

That sucks, I really am pretty sure I could do it cheaper by mutilating a 10 dollar one, but oh well...
You could probably add a DAC chip to a $6 one.
Then again ... I was looking for the chip itself (I bookmarked it, but I deleted that bookmark) and I found this one on Amazon for only $17.80. Not $10, but not $45 either. Pixel 2 and 2 XL are specifically listed. (Yeah, I know, it should work with any device with digital output to the C connector.)

Maybe this but cost 48... (woops i cant put because im a new user , the adapter dodocool Hi-Res Headphone Adapter Type-C USB-C to 3.5mm Audio Jack Adapter)
Sure that this adapter has better audio output than any that comes in a smartphone, obviously costs 48 dollars but it is to give a high jump in quality.

Couldnt I just solder a new USBC head onto that one and get the same thing?
I don't know - could you? Can you trace the cable out to the DAC to know what goes where? If you could, you probably can.

You can put a DAC but the problem is compatibility with pixel 2, because not all of them work in pixel 2

I've just pulled the trigger on a new V30+ (at a great price) but it doesn't come with a set of the B&O headphones (go figure). I'd like to get a set of matching B&O's to take advantage of the DAC.

My question is whether anyone has a spare set of these B&O headphones that they'd be willing to sell? Thx.

In the U.S. the V30+ came with "LG" quad headphones, not the B&O branded headphones.

Yep, totally. I need some new in-ears anyway so I just fancied having the whole complete original set. I've heard they're quite good....annoying they don't come with them. They do come as standard so I'm assuming they're taking them out before shipping.
Request still stands though, happy to pay a fair price for an unused set of them.
They're not taking them out. Until a couple of weeks ago, Eglobal was selling the Hong Kong version, it included the B&O earphones.
The versions Eglobal is selling right now are indian variants of the H930DS, those just don't include the earphones for India market (check your software version, it should be Vxxx-IND-xx).
But hey, you get VoLTE out of the box! HK versions don't have that.
$20 and they're yours. I've worn them for about ten minutes btw.
I have a new set in the box. Let me know if you are still interested.
Thanks.

My 16y old daughter took my brand new B&O to make a call and munched the wire while talking and now it's broken...
I compared these headphones to other models from different manufacturers.
They play on the V plan. They are good for OEM, but compared to other headphones they are rather weak.
I think that you can buy much better headphones for 25-30 USD.
For example, RHA MA390.

Right. In North America LG doesn't have the rights to B&O distribution.
I feel the B&O headphones are super weak (do not trigger high impedance mode) and very flat sounding. Anyone else experience this problem? I will gladly sell my gently used B&O's. Also have one brand new in box. Worst sounding earbuds ever.
The included B&O earbuds don't even come close to any of the retail B&O earbuds.. The only thing B&O to them is their name.. For the rest they can at best be considered as cheap OEM freebees. Don't waste your money on them. Instead get yourself Etymotic ER4 XRs. They do way more justice to the internal quad-dac....
(Or alternatively get a good pair of wireless cans such as the B&W PX or Sony WH-1000xm2)

Get BeoPlay H3 in ear wired. I own them for nearly 2 years and they're gorgeous, hit the floor many time and still working fine, wire condition is perfect. These added to LG V30 are rather low class earphones and I'm quite surprised that they're branded by B&O, it only works against them. If earphone cost 25$ you can be sure that it has nothing to do with real Bang and Olufsen sound quality.
Question: I just bought a converter, but neither the S22U nor S8+ recognizes it.
Granted, it said for xiaomi but I thought they're all the same.
Is this because of the latest USB-C 3.2 format? or am I missing something ?
It needs to have a built in DAC.

I bought mine from Walmart and it works just fine. It even works with microphones or headsets. It's Walmart's cheap "onn" brand. I bought three or four of them because I always lose them. As far as quality goes, they feel and sound as good as any other one does, and they're only like five bucks.
I'm pretty sure these kind of links are allowed. I haven't been on here in a while since Samsung has been BL locking all their US devices....

To be honest. You would probably be better off just getting a new set of USB-C headphones. They cost from around $9 to $30 with the average around $15 or so. The amount of money you are going to spend on a USB-C to 3.5mm adaptor will be about the same as you would spend on a pair of USB-C headphones.
Use the one from Apple. It works fine and cheap.
I'm using the one from Google (bought at BestBuy for $13) and it works great!
I bought a cheap one and work just fine after the last USB-C audio update via Galaxy Store. My problem is that when I am using on a phone call the micro doesn't work! Any solution?

Is the same rule true for USB-C headphones, do the cheap ones work or do the headphones need to have a special (expensive) chip inside?

I'm not sure. It should, but the OP stated the one he had was Xiaomi and it didn't work with his S22U.
I do know the Apple USB-C to 3.5mm adapter works. My daughter has one. I tested it on my S22U, Tab S7, and her S22 and it worked with no problems. It cost $9.99 at Best Buy and around $8.27 at Amazon.
You don't need to worry if it includes a DAC since that is handled in the phone. If it wasn't the speakers and microphones wouldn't work.

I gave up on buying a converter/ adapter and already ordered earbuds. But I still want to have headphones around, and obviously they have to be USB-C.
So I was looking at some (USB-C) headphones today, some of them were quite cheap, some were labeled "Xiaomi compatible". Was wondering if they'd work with the S22U.
Do those (cheap) USB-C headphones work with the S22U or do they have a DAC problem as well?

I don't think it's a DAC problem. I think it's a wiring problem. Xiaomi may not be implementing the USB-C specification fully or properly. USB-C is a connector standard, not a protocol standard. Just because a device has a USB-C port doesn't mean it fully supports USB 3.x protocols. For example, the Galaxy Tab S6 Lite has a USB-C port, but uses USB 2.0 standard.
As far as cheap USB-C headphones, as long as the manufacturer adheres to the proper USB-C pin-outs then they should work. I ordered these for my daughter's S22. They are the exact same headphones I use on my S22U and Tab S7.
Skull Candy and manufacturers also make USB-C headphones that are under $30.

DACs for these aren't expensive but the headphones will not work without one.
Output from the C port is in the digital not analog realm thus the need for a DAC.
It's easier to use the Buds+ or similar Samsung bt ear bud. Otherwise use the Samsung 3.5 mm audio dongle, it's $15.
