MDA III Stereo Headset with Mic

Hi everybody,

After upgrading my MDA III successfully with Qtek ROM (thanks to the nice information on this forum).

I am looking to solve my second issue which is the stereo headset. In fact, I buy my MDA III in london in second hand. There was no stereo headset given with it. Therefore, I have bought in a shop a stereo headset supposed to be the original one for Xda2s, but unfortunatly when I use it, there is only one side of the headset no stereo. If I unplug a bit the headset I have the stereo, but it is really not practical to use. The problem is that I am not sure the problem come from the headset or the MDA III.

Does anybody got the same issue, and know if it is normal that the headset from Xda2s doesn't work ?

Also, does anybody knows where I can find a place to buy a stereo headset with microphone which surely work with the MDA III ?

Thanks.

Julien.

Me 2!

Hi!

I have the exact same problem with my stereo headset! The earpiece on the side of the mic does not work.

The trick of unplugging the headset connector a bit to get stereo works, but if you turn your volume up past a sertain point the earpiece will stop working again. And recently this trick has completly stopped working for me even when the volume is low.

So today I went to the a phoneshop to buy a new (original) headset for my Qtek 9090.
I asked to test the headset just to be sure that it worked.

But sadly enough the problem of one earpiece not working was still there.

Maybe this is a hardware problem?

Thanks for your help "FFVIII".

But in fact before buying a new earphone I want to be sure this time, that it will work has expected. In fact, I have already waste some money on some try, and I am kind of fed up about it.

So, if somebody on this forum, has find a stereo earphone with mic, fully working with a T-Mobile UK MDA III (I think MDA III is enough), I would be happy to know where I can get one.

My neck would really appreciate to have a earphone, especially for long phone call :P

I have order this handsfree kit :

I really hope this time it will work, otherwise it will be another waste of money.

I order this one because it was written "genuine t-mobile mda III earphones", so I hope it will work, otherwise I will start to think that my MDA has an hardware issue. :shock:

But also I saw so many people having the same problem that I have doubt it's an hardware issue. I will give you my feedback when I received it, if it's work or not. :roll:

Cross your finger for me :P

i got the genuine PTT/heapset with my MDA, they work ok but fall out of your ears to easily imo

I have a bad news. I have received the new earphone that I order. Like I said, those earphone where supposed to be the genuine T-Mobile earphone. But in fact I still have the problem of only one side working when I plug the earphone totally. If I unplug a bit it's working.

So, I get so much bad luck about this, and specially since the earphone is exactly the same as the one I already bought.

I am really starting to think that the probleme is an hardware issue. If somebody has better luck.

It sounds like a hardware issue, the reason you can hear through left and right earphones when you pull the headset out slightly is because you are crossing the pins for left and right from the device to the jack plug, to put it simply, your hearing one channel through both headphones not stereo. Just a thought, is the track your trying to listen to definately in stereo?
