Prophet and headphones?

[Reef]

Hello.. Anyone in here who has managed to find a solution to this problem?

The stock headset is very anoying IMO (The ones that came with the Qtek S200 package).
Therefore I bought a small microjack(male)-to-minijack(famle) adapter.
But when I tried to use this together with my old headphones (which use minijack) I only got sound in my left side.
Im guesing that it has to do with the fact that there is both R,L and Mic channels in the microjack port, and that they are placed in an order, in which the normal R,L microjack, will not connect to the R and L in the port!

Is this correct? And what to do about it?

Thanks

Reef, there are lots of problems with using these adapters, the connection is not steady.

It is suggested to use an adapter that has a wire between the input and output.

I use one without any problems and I get sound in bothe L and R. I am using Radio Shack adapter.

2) I mod the XDAiis ones, strangely, it works with my Cassette adapter full stereo. When I use my earphones, it only has right side.

I have several different adapters. Some of them don't make a good connection and I only get one channel (off and on). I ordered this one to use with my navigation system in the car...it has a rock solid connection and a mic! I might add that they sell Martin Fields screen protectors too. http://doml.com/productdec.asp?pid=2149&model=818p&modeln=i-Mate%20JAMin

yep, those types are good.

I'm guessing Reef has the compact ones, without a wire between the male and female.

Exactly.. But the thing is that it works perfectly when i pull i 1mm out and bend it a bit to the left.. Then there is sound in both channals..

I also bought a microjack male with no wires on it, so I gues i can try to make my own.. Just need some wire, some tools and a female minijack..

But did anyone of you know which band is the mic band? The top, middle or bottom? Cause I don't wanna waste any more money..

This is the one I have:

I smashed the headset that came with my 818 Pro in a car door and ruined it. I have been trying to find a replacement that is a better design (that stays on when I run), but have had no luck. I thought I had it in the Jabra C220s. This is a horribly designed product. They actually went out of their way to make it so that it will only play in the left ear when plugged into the PPC / phone. If you use the included adapter it works in stereo, but then the plug is 3.5 mm.

Has anybody found a decent pair of headphones with the microphone to work with the prophet? I imagine any 2.5 mm jacked PPC / Smartphone would be the same.

Thank you.

Dopod makes a nice pair of earbuds made to work with all HTC devices and includes a mic. Sold separately, of course. :roll:

Perhaps you can find them where you got your 818pro?

The ideal solution is to dismantle the mic piece (where there's the mic and the headphone wires coming out), unsolder the stock headphones and solder a pair of headphones of your choice. There's a lot of info about this in the Magician forum.

The second option, as Acer mentioned, would be to use the ones with the wire between the 2.5mm male and the 3.5mm female.

[tilez]

i use one without wire and there are no problem at all

[soop]

I use an adaptor similar to stories, and it works great.
have to say tho, the socket in the Prophet is a bit loose. No big deal tho.

[SkinHead69]

yup...the headset port @ HTC Prophet is a _bit_ loose, so you've got a chance to unplug by accident...
anyway, i also use a 2.5 to 3.5mm adapter, and connected into Senheiser PX100. it's sound good!!!
