Looking for Mini-usb to 3.5 jack cable

[TexasAlien]

I want to hook up my Mogul 6800 to my car stereo auxiliary jack and play music from the pda to the car radio. Has anyone run across such a plug/cable setup?

[jflorance]

I picked up this cable from either Seidio or wmexperts.com. I can't remember. I got it both with and without a microphone.

The "super reliable seller" is named nv_gear. Any relation? Or is that kinda like "Jones" 'round some parts?

[madmattco]

call me crazy but why are you all wanting to buy adapters when the mogul comes with them in the box? when i got mine it came with the splitter for the computer and charger, and a splitter for the charger and headphone jack

[purelithium]

The headphone jack included from HTC is a 2.5mm jack, 3.5mm is the standard "1/8th inch" stereo jack.

[PortableTech]

Mine did not come with a 2.5 or any adapter for that matter. Seems Alltel did not see a need for them so they were not included. Does the 2.5 adapter that you had included allow you to hook up a standard cell phone headset, or is it some special connector meant for a stereo headphone?

[defaultdotxbe]

it lets you hook up a standard 2.5mm cell headset, i dont know if the jack is stereo or not but a 3.5mm plug wouldnt fit anyway

[TheSeanTeam]

You can buy a 2.5 to 3.5 adapter from Radio Shack.

[mgk]

I've purchased 3 of these over the years. Worked with my MDA, Hermes, and now Mogul. http://cgi.ebay.com/3-5mm-Stereo-Audio-Adapter-for-HTC-Wing-Mogul-PPC-6800_W0QQitemZ150202017990QQihZ005QQcategoryZ15040 QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem $13.50 with shipping.

[chadman]

I just a 2.5-3.5 adapter off the deals extreme website for 1.40. This includes shipping. They are slow because it gets shipped out of Hong Kong, but I have ordered a lot of stuff from them and have good luck with it. Chad

I have been searching, but can't seem to resolve the question if the 2.5mm "out" from the HTC is in mono or not.
I am trying to use a 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter(stereo) to listen to music in stereo but i have to pull the adapter out of the socket a little in order to get stereo....

Where is the problem coming from? the phone or the htc supplied 2.5mm jack/"out" (since the adapter is a stereo adapter)

thanks all!

This is a Crutchfield product, but I got mine on Amazon.com. Best cable for my car so far!

I just got this and it works great. The mini-usb part fits snuggly into the xv6800, unlike the splitter that came with the phone.

http://products.smartphoneexperts.com/content/accessories/73-75--2373.htm

The stereo/mono/having-to-pull-out-a-bit issue has to do not with 2.5mm-3.5mm conversion. It most likely has to do with 3-ring vs 2-ring.

Here's two sites that enlightened me on the ring issue. I wish I had known this before buying useless 2.5mm-3.5mm audio adapter from RadioShack.
1. http://dwsimms.blogspot.com/
2. http://qbranchblog.blogspot.com/2008/02/make-your-own-usb-to-25mm-adapter.html

So, the splitter that comes with xv6800 is a 2.5mm 3-ring system. When connecting to an audio device that doesn't have a mic, you need to go from 2.5mm-3ring to 3.5mm-2ring. I got a cheap adapter like this on ebay for $5 or $9, I can't remember.

[docholiday351]

great info you all...thanks so much

Here's a bunch i found and bookmarked when i was doing the same search about a month ago:

only $5, both charge and headphone

$10, very small, slick, but i think it might point the "wrong" direction (see below)
http://4ustuff.com/product.php?form=PDA%20AND%20SMARTPHONE%20ACCESSOR IES&mode=8&lag=&name=ADAPTER
lots of different adapters from a China, HK wholesaler.

just be careful if you get an audio only one that you plan to use with your OEM charging adapter (the one that is a plastic charge/EMUSB adapter) since if the audio adapter goes 90 degrees off to the right (if it were on your phone) then it will hit into your charging jack on that OEM adapter. you just need to look closely at the pics before buying.

i think i'm going to get a few of the ones from Semson's since they look like they will fit while my unit is in it's faceplate case and obviate the need for the OEM adapter (and it's cheap!).

[Spr0ckEt]

I bought them SEMSONS one a week ago, it didn't work at all. I tried it on a friends xv6800, worked flawlessly. I have since reflashed the phone, tried it again, works like a charm. It must have been something wrong with my phone. I purchased two more from them today.:)

[dhoopes]

I also got the semson's ones and they work great. They fit flush right up against the bottom of my mogul, so in my opinion, supports the connector well and does not create a stress riser on the connector like most of these things do. Also, it looks like it was custom-made to fit with my two-piece clear faceplate on. Absolutely flust and nothing gets in the way of anything.

[jamespaulritter]

Well thats not good. I just started shopping around yesterday for a mini USB to 3.5 adapter. Guess I better hold off.

[amurvine@hotmail.com]

Anyone having problems with thier 3.5 adapter not working. I have DCD's newest and am looking for an adapter, should I not be looking for one?

[JeffersonBetancourt]

Hey I hope you guys can help me, I just bought a mini USB to 3.5 stereo jack converter for my T-Mobile Wing. When I connected it to my speakers and stereo system for some reason the sounds that comes out is horrible. I can barely hear the song through the speakers, its really low and really distorted and when I touch the screen of the phone it makes a buzzing sound through the speakers. I dont know if the cable I bought is broken or thats normal because its a phone and not an iPod or something. Please reply with some answers. Thank you.

[mankimanki]

I have one question.
Work this on mda compact 3 (artemis)

if your original 2.5 has a microphone than that is the problem.

[segadc]

If anyone has a mini-usb to 3.5 jack that works with Verizon MR1 then let me know. Thanks.

[yoppie]

the answer is mono jack 2.5".

[jinx01]

my semson arrived, and i can't get it to work. i'm using the latest dcd rom.

[segadc]

I actually found (in my house) a mini usb to 2.5 jack and also had a 2.5 to 3.5connector. I guess I forgot about those. Anyway, it did not work with MR1

[popdog54]

my semson arrived, and i can't get it to work. i'm using the latest dcd rom.

The Semson adaptor as is doesn't work with newer Sprint ROMs. You need to modify one of the pins as described in this thread:

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=37302

See post #16 for details. I did mine a little different. Instead of pushing the pin down and to the right I just pushed it to the right so it was flush with the back of the adaptor.

[dhoopes]

I was the one who initially talked up the Semson's right angle jack for it's sleekness and design. I can confirm that it doesn't work the same once you upgrade to a DCD ROM.

However, I have found a VERY simple workaround. It doesn't work if I plug the 3.5mm cord to the adapter and then plug the adapter into my phone. But it DOES work if I plug the adapter into the phone and then plug the cord into the adapter.

YMMV.

Can someone confirm if this is universal because if so it would mean not having to do surgery for anyone.

Also, as an important side note, when I was listening with my speakers the other day and I got a phone call, I was able to use the phone's microphone and hear the caller through the big speakers. They said they could hear me perfectly and there was no echo. I was impressed.

I was also impressed because I found out my amazing (and free) player, Mortplayer, pauses my music and then restarts it when the call ends. How come more people don't use Mort?

[popdog54]

I tried your work around with my spare adaptor and it did work. I'll email Semsons and let them know about it. I haven't tried it with my car adaptor yet. I'll report back when I get a chance.

[segadc]

The htc diamond usb headphone does work (I am sure everyone knows). I wonder if I should just get that and forget about getting a mini-usb 3.5 jack.

[jinx01]

popdog, i love you. pushed that first pin all the way down to the right, and I'm rocking stereo 3.5mm at last. thanx a mill.

[Ed Zachary]

I got a Stereo Convertor/Adapter from BoxWave (http://www.boxwave.com/products/stereoconverteradapter/stereo-converter-adapter-htc-mogul_2901.htm).

Works like a charm!

I tried your work around and it did not work for me. I just bent the pin like described and it works great now.

I found a perfect adaptor but it requires paypal which I don't have nor want to get. Anyone seen something similar. Love that it connects to a keychain so u always have it with you.

Just picked up a 3in1 USB 11pin to 3.5mm Adapter off of Ebay for 9.99 (image attached). Works perfect! I am able to charge the phone while streaming music to my stereo. Also calls and iguidance and tomtom can be heard over the speakers when its plugged in.

Also of note I am running dcd 4.1 rom on a mogul.
