Has any crufted an adapter that allows the use of normal 2.5mm cell-phone headsets to work with a TyTN. I like the fidelity of my awesome Plantronics headset, and I want to get it to work with the TyTN. Any luck?

Thanks,

Have you tried buying one from this site.

http://shop.brando.com.hk/htcstereoconverter.php

I just received mine last week and it works great, MUCH better than the stock headset.

Alan.

Edit: "Sorry mis-read the topic, this is to a std 3.5mm headset jack."
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] HHumbert:
Not a problem, but thanks for the referral and review anyway. I will probably go ahead and order one of those, too, but really, I just want a wired headset.

Thanks,

No... I've been searching high and low. I've got a pair of Shure headphones that are amazing and have the 2.5mm 3-pole connector that works perfectly with my HTC Magician... I'd love an adaptor to just run them with my Tytn, but so far no luck.

Currently, I'm using a 3.5 adaptor and then another adaptor to the ExtUSB connector, so I've got no mic capability and two dodgy connectors between my 100 GBP headphones and my phone!!!

I'm going to take my Shures to an electronics guy and have him swap the connector eventually.

I found the following mini-USB to 2.5mm adapter for the Motorola phones.

Anyone know if its compatible with the HTC mini-USB implementation?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] MSHampton:
With the risk of a "me too" post, a 2.5mm converter would be worth money to me. I have yet to find one anywhere and am about to buy an extra headset and start "experimenting" and who know where that will lead. Probably to a new phone. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] MSHampton:
I emailed HTC America and got this reply...

Hello Michael and thank you for contacting HTC America. Unfortunately we do not make any accessories other than what is included with the device. There are some 3rd party vendors that do offer this accessory however; they are not affiliated with HTC. Please see the following link for one of them:

http://www.cell-phone-accessories.com/emu-headset-adapter.html.

Thanks,

HTC Support

I have one on order. I'll let you know if it works.

Michael
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] HHumbert:
Hope?

Hi Michael --

Please let us know if this does work. This would be a great fall-back adaptor to use if/when my BT headset runs out of juice.

Thanks,

-Humbert
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] MSHampton:
I just finished my request to HTC support. These devices do NOT work. No audio what so ever. I tried regular audio as well as the audio of a call. Nothing-nada. The adapter is stamped as "Motorola" on the back. Apparently the HTC version of the USB plug is not the standard "EMU" version that everyone else is using.

Michael
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] coisman:
Ugh, why didn't they just add a standard 3.5mm headphone jack? That would have made everyone's lives a lot easier.

I just bought the Motorola adapter, ended up wasting $5 (not a lot, I know, but hey, it's money).

Maybe I should try for a refund...

If anyone knows any adapters that work with the Hermes/TyTN, I would love to know.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] MSHampton:
Well, I finally found an option that will work for me. My motorcycle has a 2.5mm plug for hooking a cell phone into the intercom system (it's a gold wing) It also has a 3.5mm plug for an aux device to the stereo. I got the moto hf820 from amazon for around $45. It is a bluetooth hands free device, but it also has a 2.5mm plug on it. So, the phone section of my 8525 now connects to the bluetooth 820 into the intercom through it's 2.5mm plug. For the rest of the audio, I am using one of the extusb to 3.5mm adapters. That way I'll be able to get my gps directions over the stereo. That is a long way around to do it, but the 820 seems to work out pretty well as a 2.5mm adapter. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] HHumbert:
Holy ****, what a rube goldberg device!!!! But, I like your ingenuity. I ride myself (BMW GS) and so I just may try to cobble together something similar to yours...

However, most people want the wired headset so that they don't have to rely upon bluetooth. I want a fall-back headset.

To be honest, I found the perfect BT headset, and so I'm not sure if I need a wired connection anymore. I bought a jawbone and have been using it for 2 months. I like it so much, I bought a *second* one for when I run down the batteries on the first one, I can just use that one. Sure, it costs me $120 a pop, but after using 6 different bluetooth headsets over the last few years, this is the first one where people can't tell that I'm on a headset. Yes, it's that good.

-Humbert
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] MSHampton:
That it is! :) I have the Kennedy CellSet (www.cellset.com) on my goldwing that integrates the cell phone as if it is a 3rd party on the intercom. Makes it kind of nice because either me or my wife can take a call while we are riding if needed. Anyway, I had the adapter for a 2.5mm plug and they don't make an adapter for the extusb of the HTC so hey, this works. Not only that, the GPS audio and the phone audio are on two different channels on the bike now. Worked out pretty good.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] HyperMalac:
Hi there!

I'm interested in that problem too. So is there an adapter what is working, and tested yet?

If not, maybe we should try to cut down one ExtUSB to 3,5mm adapter and cut down the 2,5 mm side of the headset, and then maybe it can be built together, and we have a headset, with ExtUSB port.

Is it a possible way? Maybe any alternatives? God I'll be really happy if we can do something to do with this

2.5 and 3.5 fix for USB

I too have an expensive Shure headset with a 2.5 connector that I used on my Cingular 8125. I just moved to a Cingular 8525 e/w the ExtUSB connector.

I have been working with the tech support guys at Shure and we have sort of a fix. My Shure headset has a Mic so it needs a 4 conductor cable and the corresponding 4 wire jacks to carry voice to the handset. BIG issue. None of the current connectors (Ext USB to 2.5 or 3.5) carry the 4th wire! They will carry audio out over the 3 wires. . . stupid I guess.

So Mobile Planet and others now have a TyTN (Titan) Cingular 8525 cable adapter that is made by ORA and has its own mic, and answer/hangup control and ends in a 3.5 jack for a headset (3 wire). This means that if you have a 2.5 jack on your headset you need another adapter to reduce the 3.5 to a 2.5 (+/- $10.00 US).

Then you use the mic in the adapter. This is a real mickey mouse rig but it works and you do not have to buy another very expensive headset. You just cannot use the mic in your expensive headset! The cable is also a little long since the adapter's cable is about 20".

If you are thinking of buying a good wired headset then use the ORA adapter (Shure is about to come out with one also) and a standard Shure 3.5 headset like the SE series ($150+) which has a shorter cable. The two work nicely together. It is what I am using now. see link below:

(http://www.shure.com/PersonalAudio/Products/Earphones/SEModels/index.htm)

but they really really work well . . . and are worth the $$s

However, does anyone know if the HTC P3350 W100 Wired Remote Control(http://www.mobileplanet.com/p.aspx?i=145859) will work on an Cingular 8525?

2.5mm adapter for 8525

http://store.pchcables.com/spmoppxvat85.html

I ordered one and it works perfect. About $8 with shipping.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] CSMR:
I'm interested in something like this. It says it works with three-connector 2.5mm jacks. Does this mean stereo headphones or mono headphones+mic? I want to have phone conversations so hopefully mono+mic.

Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] bduerr:
No mic

the 3 connector is usually stereo but w/o a mic. After looking at the diag it may take a 4 connector and then the mic would work. The only 4 connector 2.5 I have found to be a good headet is a Shure 'i' series. but they run over a $150. but I really like mine . . .
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] CSMR:
Thanks. Which diag? I can't see one.

Answers here indicate the mic will work:

http://igonemobile.com/products/html/61315310.html

Pretty sure then it will take a mono headphone +mic headset.

Now for proper headsets we need a 2*3.5mm jack to 2.5mm plug adaptor!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] bduerr:
Headsets and ext USB

The diag was actuallt the picture, I have one of these as well as several others because I have worked with one of the Prod people at Shure to fix the same problem you are having.

There are really two answers, actually 3:

1) the adapter you are looking at with a stereo headset and Mic

http://shure.com/PersonalAudio/Products/Headsets/ISeries/index.htm

2) a ORA adapter that has the extUSB connector to 3.5mm e/w mic and any stereo headset @ $17.95

http://www.mobileplanet.com/p.aspx?i=145933

3) the really great answer is the HTC WM100 that has a mic,fits any 3.5 headset and has a complete set of phone and audio controls on it @ $44.95

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] jompao:
I have not heard anyone that has this working on a Tytn, it's stated to be for Tytn II. If it worked for Tytn I would buy one.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] Rosbif22:
It's mono + mic. I'm not sure how to the numbers of conductors work, but the headset I use has a standard, 2.5mm plug (2 black bands on the plug.)

Works on a Mogul

Itis working on my Sprint Mogul running their WM6. But I found a newer multimedia driver on the HTC European Site.

It comes with a driver disc and when I went to install it, it came back saying the current driver worked. For riding my bike it is great, I can control volume, stop/start, replay. And then I can answer and hang up on the phone. It even has a mute buton on it.

Why not order one and see if it works, if not send it back . . . .
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] jompao:

I have used this in my car where I charge the handset and use the audio port to send the music to my radio. The Mogul and my 8125, and 8525 came with one . . . .
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] PortableTech:
Ok, does this adapter use a 2.5mm or a 3.5mm connector? Everywhere I look says this is a 2.5mm headset connector which would be a standard phone headset, while 3.5mm is more a standard headset or what you are describing.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodrigorajao:
This weekend for the first time I had to use my Nexus 5 turn-by-turn navigation on Google Maps to get somewhere. I'm no stranger to the feature, as my previous Note 2 had a dashboard mounting bracket in my truck for this very reason.

Besides the speaker not being loud enough to hear the directions (one of my complaints with this devie), I found the GPS isn't very accurate at all. I have it set to High Accuracy, using GPS, WiFi and data network to find my position. The software often put the arrow about a block away from where I actually was and it kept falling behind telling me where I was supposed to turn.

I was driving at about 40-50 km/h at night with a cloudy sky. I reckon this was never an issue with my Note 2, both with stock TouchWiz and custom ROMs. My Nexus 5 is on stock 4.4.

So, what's going on here?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Citizen_Snips:
I honestly can't say I face this issue. My GPS is on point whether driving or just using it when I go hiking or camping.

A couple of weeks back I helped a buddy move into a new place and I loaded up my truck and he gave me the address and I popped it in the GPS, it locked within seconds and got me there just fine. No issues.

I also use it when I go camping. I'll find a nice place to pitch the tent and mark the campsite, then go exploring. Anything interesting I put a pin on it and can find my way back real easy. The speaker issue, sure. I use Viper4android (sound mod) and custom kernels to raise the output gain and make the speakers louder so that's a non-issue for me.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skttrbrain:
If you're rooted, check out FasterGPS (and if you're not rooted.. go and root).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brianbrain:
Regarding sound loudness: try fauxsound (you'll need a compatible kernel and root). It boosts speaker, handset, and aux output significantly without adding distortion (although you can push it far enough to distort if you please).
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodrigorajao:
Great, thanks for the tips.

Yes, it's rooted.

Regarding the sound boost apps, do they work on stock kernel, or do I need to flash a new one, like franco? I really don't want to do a clean wipe at the moment to install a new kernel.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bblzd:
GPS accuracy might be a loose antennae. As for speaker sound, not sure what to tell you. I had the phone resting on the seat beside me since I have no dock, with the radio going at highway speeds and had no problems hearing the voice directions. I didn't even have to max the volume, it was about 70%. No modifications.

Perhaps you have the extra glue around the speakers issue?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bionemesis:
I've had the same GPS issues and they have just gotten worse over time. Have had the phone for 10 months. Finally called Google and a replacement is in the mail.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ajfink:
Let me know if the replacement is better. My GPS has also degraded significantly, but I wasn't sure if that was related to using CM11.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rodrigorajao:
I haven't driven much lately, so this issue alone doesn't warrant a return for me.

However, the disappointment is stacking up over time. It seems to me that the N5 does a lot of things, but none of them very well. It's basically a tinkerer's toy with an attractive pricetag for the specs. Maybe it's because I came from a former flagship Note 2 device, but I do sometimes miss it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bionemesis:
Will do. I did go back to factory, unrooted and relocked the boot loader. GPS is much, MUCH, worse. It actually loses GPS signal now all the time. I'm convinced now more than ever that this is a hardware issue that gets worse over time combined with software that makes it worse. Hopefully the new, albeit refurbished, phone is better.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JCreazy:
My GPS has never worked well, I have had mine for about 10 months as well. I've opened it up so the warranty is void but I don't care about that. I would fix it myself if I knew what exactly the problem was.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
I use navigation at least a few times a week and I've never had a single issue with the GPS. It locks on right away, and is always accurate.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wmuflyer:
I had a nexus 5 from Sprint and the GPS was noticeably off, returned it and Sprint (terrible coverage). I got one from the play store and it's spot on.

Thought I'd kick off a chat about the best cases available for the Z3. Either specific ones or more universal ones that are a good fit.

I am thinking about ordering another Fitbag sleeve from Germany which I've had for my last two phones and are excellent. I'm not a fan of clipped on cases as I like the look of the phone itself.

I was tempted by the WCR14 cover which enables wireless charging but they only seem to do it in black or white and since I am getting the copper Z3, I want one that matches really. Also It's about £80 :eek:

i initially bought the casemate barely there (black) case for my Z3, however, after that decided to look out for another case as i felt while it was slim and light, it covered up the beautiful back of the phone, and was quite slippery to hold :)

ended up, got this to try instead, and so far much happier with it. its a slim, silicon transparent case for the Z3, and showcases most of the back, protect around all sides, and also has better grip!
