How to take apart headphone portition?

[ID64]

I am thinkink of taking apart this little piece with mic and two buttons on it and replace headphones with Sony fontopia. I really don't want to break anything. XDA DEVELOPERS! please, help! :D

why not just cut the wire right over the mic with buttons and put a female 3.5mm jack then you can plug in a normal headset there ?

Ok, I did. :D Now I can listen good quality music and not missing any calls. BTW, I love the way XDA2 handles calls, music stops when call comes in and continues right after done

does that on xda 1 too when you got ppc2003 on it ;)

Can it be used in XDA I?

Hey all. I'm trying to do this at the moment. I soldered a 3.5mm female extension lead to the headphone socket but i've got a problem. I only have sound coming out of the left headphone.

I know it's not the hima because i opened mine and resoldered the audio jack just to be sure. When using a 2.5mm>3.5mm converter, sound plays perfectly, but when i'm using my modded handsfree kit, i only have sound on the left.

Can someone post some pics on how to properly solder a 3.5mm female extension lead to the handsfree kit mic portion?

Hanmin, I love you.


On another note, i found this wiki page (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=handsfreethatdoesntsoundlikecra p) in the above mentioned thread that details this procedure. I rewrote it for readability (and NxJay-ness) but it's pretty darn useful. :D
