3.5mm Male to Male w/ Mic

Anyone bought one before for use w/ the Eris? Looking to use this for audio to home stereo or car aux input but also not have to unplug it to use the phone. This way I can use it as hands free in the car. I've found this one for $10.99

and this one for $9.99

but it says it's for the Samsung Captivate.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Cool find. Exactly what I have been looking for. I haven't used it or known anyone that has, but I'm probably going to buy it just to try it out. I'll report back with findings unless someone beats me to it.

I personally use a standard line (no mic) keep the phone on my lap and am able to have conversations as if I am wearing a blue tooth headset. Although if this is for your car stereo you do have to take into consideration of the stereo volume cause the conversation can echo back to the person that you are talking to

For some reason that doesn't work for me. I tried it but have to unplug the cord to talk. I can hear them just fine but they can't hear me (no music on either) That's why I started looking for this. I wonder if it's a setting on the phone somewhere...

Assuming that you didnt hit the mute button on the phone, there may be other factors that are giving people on the other end problems hearing you.

a) is your phone rooted? if so, what rom are you using?
Check with the dev who created the rom. Could be possible that you have a older rom version. One of the last updates that VZW pushed out to the eris was for the "sound bug" If you are using a older rom, it could be a possibility that the update was not "cooked" in cause of the date of the ROM. You will see more DEVs stating in their ROM descriptions that is has the recent updates. Using one of thoser ROM may fix that.

b) if your phone is not rooted then is all the updates installed? You can check by doing the following

menu - settings - about phone - system updates

c) depending on where your phone is placed, (ie my lap), seat belts, clothes or some thign else is blocking the phones microphone.

d )slim chance but any chance that the people who can not hear you are only eris users them selves? If yes then see a) and b)

I just use the phone itself as the microphone and the audio routes over the stereo. But of course we don't have laws against talking on the phone here.

Wow, nobody posts in this particular forum. Well, I was just thinking about this type of product today, and seeing it on the forum, I had to buy it.

I know this is an old post, but...

When I try that the other person can't hear me. Is there a setting that needs to be changed?
