Hi I would like to know if HTC RC E100 will work with hd2.
Thanks for answers!
No, it won't work, because the RC-E100 has a mini USB cable and not a micro USB one, i tried it already with a RC from a friend

Won't a Mini to Micro converter work?
This is a really good question. I would really like to use this control unit with my own headphones...
I'm new to the workings of the RC E100.
Could some kind soul please explain the connections for this item?
If I'm reading this correctly, does it connect directly into the micro USB port (with adapter if it works) but how does it then pick up the Music/Phone call data if it is not connected to the Audio Jack (or is it a split connection with one to the USB port & one to the 3.5 Audio Jack)?

I don't think it will work, because the mini USB cable from the RC E100 has a special configuration (cable/pin). So i think that a convertor won't work.
Dearest fellow hd2-owners,
I am searching a couple of days to a wired handsfree headset with music control for my HTC HD2. Unfortunately, i cannot find one, besides the original included by the phone, wich doesn't support exchangeable earphones.
The RC e100 is just what i'm looking for.
Can anybody tell me if it is possible with a cable between it:
3.5 mm to mini usb:
If not, can anybody tell me if there is a alternative wired handsfree headset with music control, which is supported by htc hd2... ???
Thanks ..
Kindly Regards M.
For further explaination:
With music control, i mean: song forward, song backward, volume etc..
Answer call / hangup
Thanks ..

I asked htc support if rc e 100 would work with mini to micro adapter and they told me that it won't been working correctly.
They also told me that something comparable to rc e100 won't be in sail soon for micro usb devices.

This is a JOKE. I have the HTC desire, and the headphones that come boxed are horrible. When you finally fit them in your ear they hurt after 5 seconds. Why would you not have a socket in the damn media control bit? Every Nokia phone i have ever had comes with this basic feature.. allowing you to connect your own ear buds to the multifunction remote control.
so in this case, I’m going to have to cut up the headphones that came with the desire and attach a 3.5 socket, allowing me to connect my sennheisers and giving me the ability to control the music player /sigh GG htc. you build a sweet phone but gimp its audio playback all because u didn’t want to spend the 1 cent it would have cost to put a socket in the damn headset attachment, and not even bothering to offer an accessory.
I should point out that the headset that comes with the desire is not micro usb, but rather a 3.5 plug. It allows play, pause, skip, answer and has a mic.
I am going to jump on the bandwagon on this one too and comment on how disgraceful it is that accessories aren't interchangeable and that nothing similar is being devised for the newer generation of phones. The headset is one of the failing features of HTC units and a good quality remote would be the answer to just let people use whatever IEMs, heaphones they want.
"Luckily" my right headphone that came with it is broken already. It may have been from the start, it sounds horrible like it's scraping its voice coil and I was about to order the RC E100 when running into this thread... Thanks for saving me .
I will have no choice and no reservation to cut the earbuds off and mount a 3.5mm socket to it. I may even go and experiment if HTC added some not-yet implemented resistorvalues for a future remote control, as I did do some checks and it seems the remote on the standard headphone is a simple resistor network like e.g a Sony RM-X4S (search for panuworld and RM-X4S to see a schematic) caraudio wired remote. I wouldn't put it past them to actually have the volume-control resistor values programmed into the HD2, but simply not implemented in any accessory yet.
A happy but sometimes also disillusioned HTC HD2 owner. Next stop: voice dialing... (last I looked that wasn't solved yet either, but I've been ill so didn't actively look for a couple of months, that's also the reason I didn't get into the wired remote resistor values any further. I did measure the existing values on the standard headset remote and actually have an RM-X4S at home that might get me started with some standard values (or drawers full of other resistors))
Damn, this thread has got me excited, I wanna go home and figure this out! (They'll let me out the hospital on Thursday, but please let me know if someone somewhere has already done this work, cannot believe I would be the first to dive into this!!! "This" being the mapping of the resistor values of the OEM headphone headset remote and searching for extra resistorvalues that might have different functions (10 minutes work in mapping the values, 15 minutes putting it in writing and posting it here and another hour to butcher my headset beyond repair and hook up the RM-X4S to it, guess I might have to sacrifice my headset for science unless someone has a broken one they want to ship me, should have picked up the run-over Nokia headset I saw on the ground a few weeks back that had a 4 pin 3.5mm connector, that's all I need for hooking up other resistorvalues...Oh, I'll figure something out or indeed butcher it and ask the company to buy me a new one, as mine IS actually broken. They'll survive the extra 9€ on top of having to pay me while I am out of the running for half a year due to the illness...)
BTW, this thread is old, and there is a micro-phone 3.5mm input super simple remote available, but it does less than the OEM headset apart from you being able to plug in your own headphone.

Keep us posted man. Always interested in new audio hacks for the HD2. I'm missing the volume control too!
RC e100 via adaptor to HD2 possible?
Hello!
There is another threat (german only) which deals with connecting the RC e100 via adaptor to the HD2:
http://www.pocketpc.ch/android-allgemein/118188-htc-rc-e-100-headset.html
Maybe the following idea is totally nonsense, please let me know if I'm wrong:
The RC e100 apparently uses the extendedUSB version of miniUSB.
Does anyone know if the HD2's micro USB provides extendedUSB functionality as well?
Can anyone provide a circuit diagram to modify a mini to micro usb adaptor or cable 'USB-Adapter - 5-polig Micro-USB Typ B (M) - Mini-USB, Typ B (W)' to use the extendedUSB functionality of HD2 for the RC e100?
Thanks for your reply!

Took quite a while for me to test, but using an RM4-XS (or something) does NOT work on the inputs of the HD2/Leo. So it seems the resistor values of this Sony car-audio remote do not trigger any 'hidden' functions, so it is likely the OEM remote on the headphone is all the functionality you are going to get.
Sorry about getting peoples hopes up...

OK.. I dont know alot about my PPCPE, and apparently I dont know enough to find a good head set for my phone. I know it is a 2.5mm jack is that not right? I have tried universal 2.5 mm and well some work some dont, some work if I dont push it in all the way, and some do. Crazy stuff..
Anyway, I find one that I really like. It looks like it will be perfect for my small little ear cavity. Does anyone know if this might work with the PPCPE/XDA device:
http://www.jabra.com/products/ewboom.htm
Its called the Ear Wave Boom its coming out shortly this month I believe.
I think it would be perfect. If it will work.
Let me know.. look forward to the day I find a good one.
Nope want work with an adapter, sorry!
HTH
Curious but why will it not work? What is wrong about it? 2.5mm is the plug size right? Why does it seem that some of these 2.5 mm universals work and some dont?
I ask seriously because I am confused about it all. I have a 2.5 mm jabra that works currently, so I assumed another Jabra that is also 2.5mm should work as well.
Unless I am confused or missing some info I just dont understand.
Jabra Headset
Will not work, because the 2.5mm jack on the XDA is 4 pole, not three. The four poles support:
1. Mic +
2. Left ear +
3. Right ear +
4. Common ground
On the jabra set, which is mono, there is no 3rd ring on the plug. Inserting it into the xda shorts the right hand channel to ground, and when in phone mode (i.e. mono, not playing back .mp3's or whatever), the left and right hand audio channels are just connected together. Shorting the right hand channel wipes out your headset sound completely.
Something is not accurate then..
Sorry but something just is not right then. Because I have a regular Jabra headset, that uses the basic 2.5 universal adapter. I can use it with my XDA, and yes it is only 3 poles/2 rings on the jabra adapter.
Now granted the button to answer does not work, but I can hear just fine and speak just fine using it.
So, I am confused still. Your not the only one to say it will not work, heck when I bought it the guy said it would not work. But it does. And its not the only one I have like that that does work. I have also used a body glove headset that is a 2.5 universal adapter. So like I said I am still confused.
A universal 2.5mm headset should not work.
You need an adapter for use with a universal headset. See:
http://pc-mobile.net/xda.htm
Many universale headset do not have answer/mute button. Even if they have, it may not work.
(2.5mm universal headset were originally produced for Motorola phones. Earlier models do not support answer/mute button)
Would love to have one of these. Any ideas guys?
As far as I know the X1 does not have TV-out capability.
i think the same. not tv out.
Shame really because the TV-out function is bundled on the MSM7200A Qualcomm chip just like the other HTCs.
I wonder if they scraped it completely or if it is connected to the USB interface somehow (or the audio jack as I have seen other devices using it on TV-out with 4 rings on the 3.5 jack).
There are registry keys for tv out
Would be nice if anyone could try the HTC-video out cable, i believe it's connected by usb
Don't quote me on this but I think the HTC video out cable (for the touch Pro at least) is proprietary. The Touch Pro has an odd USB port that has 4/5 connectors on the other side of the USB pins that the video out/headphones use.
Still, that means the TV out on the TP is still using the same connectors as the audio, so puts it in line with other devices with 4 ring audio connectors and TV out.
Im sure someone will figure it out. I would hook it up to one of these babys:

Yup, you are right about the proprietary connector for the HTCs.
So if TV-out exists on X1 it should be on the 3.5 audio jack.
Is there a specific program that HTC devices use for TV-out? Maybe someone could try to load that program on the X1 and insert a 4 ring tv-out jack in the audio connector.
I seriously doubt it will work out, but testing won't do any harm.
Maybe this image could help, myself, i'm not sure if ther's three or four "pins".
if the connector is normal miniUSB then thats no option for tvout unless
the device support usbHost which as far as i know it dont (could be wrong though)

It definitely seems to have more rings than a usual 3.5 stereo audio jack but I can't be really sure.
Here you can see a normal audio jack.

If we could just get the TV-out application from Touch Pro, then someone could try with it, i think i have one 4-5pin 3.5" video-out cable here somewhere.
TV out from the Touch

I tried to launch the HTC TV app, but i could'n get it to work. Maybe there are some registry keys that i need to modify first, but i don't know which.
LOL, also i realized that there is more than 3 pins to the 3.5" jacket, there must be additional pins for the microphone to work.
Unless there's a possibility to use some pins as both microphone and video-out signals we're stuck here... I have to admit i'm getting the feeling of this beeing the case.

Which microphone? Why have a microphone pin on the "line-out" audio jack?
Except if you mean that the X1 audio connector can accept wired hands free.
EDIT: Ok I think we are screwed. If the X1 can be coupled with 4 pin 3.5mm audio jacks wired hands free kits then TV-out is a no-go. I haven't seen any 5 ring 3.5mm jacks and even if there are, it would be a long shot.
It can accept wired hands free- look at the hands-free that comes with it. I would love Tv-out, but i'm almost positive its not included.

really! i see too
the htc hd doesnt have tv out? if it does, i this the x1 must have tv out too.. because its the "same" hardware or dont?
Regardless of whether registry keys exist and regardless whether the chipset has this feature, the hardware does not exist to do it so it cant be done. Perhaps if someone opened up thier X1 and soldered in the miniUSB jack from a touch pro and found the necessary pins for video out it would be posible. But as it is it cant be done. It requires a hardware mod, not software. Anyone with lots of cash and a touch pro and an xperia to spare?
hey guys,
i've been searching some time for an alternative to the original headset.
you all know its a piece of ****
there's a instruction in the xda wiki to mod the original headset and to use the remote with in-ears or something else.
i'm wondering if i should do that..but thats another question
i found the remote for creative's zen.
you see, it has some more functions than the original htc headset, but i think the "standard" functions like play/pause, forward/rewind etc should work, didnt they?
you find it here
thanks guys.
DN41
unless it randomly handles the button presses the same way as the HD2, it likely won't work.
Furthermore, as the volume up/down buttons appear to be used to control the volume programming of the Zen (as opposed to affecting the output signal strength in the line itself), that will definitely not work as there HD2 doesn't doesn't appear to have an ability to control it's volume software-side through the in-line remote. And even if it does, you're still depending on the fact that again, the Zen does those button-presses the same way.
Therefore...too many "if's", so likely it won't work.
mh, yeah think you're right.
so i think im gonna mod the original one.

This could be a better solution

edit: watch out! thats an mini-usb to 3,5mm adapter with remote.
so it won't work with hd2...
i think if i'd be even a micro usb, it wouldnt work, cause i think the hd2 isnt able to play music over usb port, cause its got an 3,5mm audio jack.
does anyone know if theres an adapter so i can listen to the music on my hd7 thorugh my car speakers?
i know theres one for the hd2 do you think it will owrk with hd7?
Well, my cars have the typical RCA input jacks. I just bought a 3.5mm to RCA cable, and all sounds great! Found mine at radio shack

I'm trying to get a fm transmitter.
I used a Venturi Mini with my HD2. It also works perfectly with the HD7. Bluetooth from the phone to the Venturi, FM from the Venturi to Car-radio.
The phone sits in a Brodit holder, adapted to have a USB connector, which takes power from the Venturi. The holder also works well for both the HD2 and the HD7.

In my car I have a 3.5mm input jack. I have a 3.5 mm to 3.5mm cable that I have used for the last 2 years on my Windows Mobile HTC Touch Cruise device (WM 6.1). Now when I plug the cable in my HTC HD7 the music plays as expected but at the same time the volume on my HTC HD7 goes down from 30 to 0 in just a couple of seconds. Do I need to buy a new cable or some kind of converter or is there something wrong with my device?

That sounds like a hardware issue, I could be wrong tho. Do you have a case on the phone? How are you holding the phone when you plug it in?
I have a Pioneer touchscreen nav in my car (U310BT) and it has a USB input, but it doesn't recognize my HD7 Unless someone finds a solution, I'm stuck using the auxiliary jack. The biggest downside is that a single plug can no longer double as audio/charger.

I have the same issue but it only seems to do it randomly. I normally have the stereo off before plugging it in but I noticed today it happened twice on the same car ride. I have the skin on the phone that T-Mobile sells so i guess it could be the culprit. Have you found out anything further?

The phone cannot be used as a usb storage device (at least not without hacking and then only on the computer it is synced to). So, there is no way currently to usb it to the car stereo.

I just looked this up. It sold out on line but you can find it in stores. (I hate waiting for things in the mail,UPS, etc) Thats not a bad product for the price. I have the Belkin FM transmitter ($50) that plugs in through the A/C and can charge your Ipod/mp3 player, etc using the USB cable that came with your phone, Ipod, etc. I had it for over 3 years. I needed something when I got my car since the radio didnt have a CD player. After I got the FM transmitter my wife bought me a new head unit (radio) during BF two years ago and I installed the radio in my driveway and it came with Ipod/mp3, phone hook up through USB. Now I use the FM transmitter as a phone charger.

I understand it can't be used as a storage device. However, when my car recognizes any other USB-based media players (ipod, iphone, zune, sansa), it should recognize my HD7 as well :[

Wow, that thing looks like trouble. Could you imagine having that thing in your car with a mic attached and set to the most popular morning drive station. You could really freak out people as you drive to work on congested highways.
"Yo Mick, how long are we supposed to be following this guy in the silver Impala anyways"
So my HD2 headphones broken. Right earpiece won't work, but if i shake cable around 3.5mm jack a bit, it will start working for a moment and then back to silence. Also FM radio signal is very weak.
So i must get new ones. Now, should i get HTC ones or can i use any other headphones with working buttons and mic?
How do i know, what headphones are compatible with HD2 and have working mic and buttons?
If you need mic and buttons, you must get heaphones that has 4 pins in part that goes in the device.
Can't give pic, but google 4 pin headphones
The question was - what's the best ones?
Sorry, can't answer your question because I've never change it until now.
But a hint if you want to try it: there are different jack layouts, sometimes GND is on pin 3, sometimes on pin 4. I'm not sure, but if I remember correctly, Nokia and Blackberry headssets are just the other way round.
And together with the keys I'm afraid you need to buy an HTC replacement.
But perhaps, someone found a working replacement?

The SkullCandy headphones work great with my HD2 on WP7.

P.S.. Saj jih je kar nekaj gor . A z androidom delajo?
anyone with 3.5mm jack. i suggest creative ep630.
why headphones,? better use of earphones, I can recommend the hippo shroom -i, cheap prices for audiophile sound quality
sorry I was not selling and promotion I just simply want to help
I believe author has mistaken headphones for earphones.

check out noisehush. They are cheap, but I never had one so I cant promise anything
I think everything with a normal jack plug is compatible.
I'm using a bluetooth headset from ugh ugh "Nokia"
i tried the stock earpiece/mic (very good sound!!) that comes with the Nokia N900 but it crashes the HD2 so this seems to confirm the mixed up grounding pin.
But i also tried the stock earpiece/mic from the Samsung Galaxy Pad, which has a good sound too, and found it working perfectly.
