please help
no body knows really?
You may want to take a look at the USB adapter that comes with the HTC Pure. If I remember correctly it comes with a connector that allows you to charge the phone while using the headphone jack. The connector will probably work fine on the sapphire.

Hi, is there a way to connect my XDA to an external speakers?
You can use the headphone plug or use the pins from the Connector...
HTH
Stefan
think if one use the head phone plug and the external speakers you may want to amplify the signal
What do you mean by headphone plug?
The earphone that comes with the XDA is of smaller plug, not those regualar ones.
Do I need a special plug or all I need is to get a plug that can fit into that small little hole?
a converter like this let you use std 3.5mm ministereo jack connecters

Thks Rudegar.
I received a Wing from T-Mobile yesterday and the device shipped with standard USB Mini connector (for sync/power) (rectangle with flared bottom) and a wall charger with the same typical mini USB connector. However, the connector on the phone is a similar rectangle shape, but has one diagonal corner, otherwise a perfect rectangle (while also some sort of mini USB connector, this connector is capable of handling audio in addition to sync and power...) It is the same jack that the headphones/mic fit into
In order to make this work, HTC packaged a small 1x1 node with a pigtail to convert the traditional flared mini USB connector to the new format connector.
Does anyone know where such a part might be able to be purchased? Or what the "name" of the connector is that I am describing? T-Mobile and HTC have both been rather useless and arrogant about the subject.
Thanks,

http://www.hot-wire-telekom.de/index.php?aktion=detail&suche=HTC TyTN&asuche=HW132471 - an audioadapter
http://www.hot-wire-telekom.de/index.php?aktion=detail&suche=HTC TyTN&asuche=HW132233
Don´t know exactly what you mean? I´m using several USB cables and they all work.
If you want an adapter to use two usb (charge AND headset) HTC himselfe has one. And if you want an usb --> 2,5mm there are several on ebay.
FYI ... the new HTC USB connector is actually a standard Mini-USB with extra pins for analog audio. If you were to take your standard USB cable and plus it into the phone, it should work. The only thing you need the adapter for is to use the headset, which is unfortunate. All the adapter does is split off the USB signal from the audio signal.
At least, this is how I understand it. My Wing won't be here until Tuesday.
In the USA, the Wing ships with a 2-way splitter. One plug is for USB POWER, and the other for headset. Err... I don't know which, if either, DATA would go over, it's mainly intended for use in the car when you want to have it plugged in but use the headset also!
I need to order a smaller audio-converter... something that can go inline with my headphones without looking/feeling/being stupid-big.

I ordered a converted from usb to 2.5mm from igonemobile for use on my Dash and my Wing. It's about 4 inches long, not too big in my opinion.
So far so good. 10 bucks, shipping included.

Hi everyone, Ok like many others on here I want to connect my mogul to my car stereo. I picked up a 2.5mm(M) to 3.5mm(F) L adapter and figured I could use the HTC provided Y-adapter that has the 2.5mm(F). After trying the setup I noticed it only functioned if I left part of the L adapter sticking out (photo attached).
Which of course led me to believe it has something to do with the built in mic function on the HTC adapter. I then came on the forum and saw everyone having the same issue and recommeding bending pins on after market adapters especially if they are running custom roms (im on dcd 4.1.2).
I have attached a photo to show that I do get sound when I have the adapter partially pulled out. What I wanted to know if there was a way to modify the HTC wire in order to get that adapter to function correctly?
I saw that gator2k83 was nice enough to snap shots of the wires without the insert for the 2.5mm jack here.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=603916&postcount=8
It would be great if I could get a picture of what the inside of 2.5mm female socket looks like.
Still don't get why the L adapter doesn't work. Is HTC wiring there 2.5mm headset different then other manufacturers?
Wow so no one can comment on why or how to make this work?
Does anyone know why for example the semons adapter 2-in-1 needs to have its pin modified if you are using a newer rom?
No need to modify anything. You just need to pick up a different 2.5mm to 3.5mm adapter that's made specifically for cellphones. I picked one up a while back at Radio Shack. I forget how much, but I don't think it was expensive. The main difference between the two adapters is that the cellphone one has three bands instead of two, one for the microphone part of the phone jack and the other two are for the L and R channels. Your adapter is only contacting the microphone and L channels which is why you are having this problem. Try the other adapter and you'll find it works great.
TGabriele thanks for the reply! So the cellphone specially made has 3 bands, ahhh now that makes sense. Thats why sticking it in partially makes it work because the 3rd band isn't making contact.
Cool I appreciate the reply
has anybody thought about it ?
htc sells them (http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/it/p_htc_item.aspx?i=187495) while mini-usb headphones i have (i found them on an alcatel phone) do not work
I just bought a little adapter off eBay which plugs into HTC MiniUSB and has a 3.5mm jack on it. It lets me use my own normal headphones.
why didn't you just use the 3.5 built in jack of tattoo ???
g1 dont
hi.
my G1 headphones have the htc mini usb ( the one thats a bit odd and has extra wires for audio and tv out ) but the headphones dont work on the tattoo.
so why has the tattoo got this type of jack for its usb ?? it certainly has the extra contacts on it, you can see them !
may be we will someday have an app that enabled you to select the usb output as the default audio out.. may be not.. lol..

Just received my HTC HD2 Car Kit from https://www.expansys-usa.com/d.aspx?i=188277 And it works with my T-Mobile U.S. HD2. It launches Navipanel as soon as you place the phone in it. When you tap "Navigation" it launches TeleNav. It rotates the screen as you change the orientation of the phone. It comes with a high-end suction cup that you need to twist to lock on a smooth flat surface (and it stays locked). It also comes with special smooth adhesive disk that you can mount the main unit to in case you don't have a smooth surface available where you want to put it. It has a car charger that has a USB port and a micro to standard USB cable that connects to the base of the mount. A little bit pricey, but when considering that it meets my needs perfectly, then it is worth it.
It looks like it covers the headphone port, is there any way to get audio out from the unit or phone?
I was told there is such a thing as a micro USB to 3.5mm cable. Connecting this to the base and to your car's aux jack might work. You won't be able to charge the phone though. Unless there was a micro USB Y-splitter....??? Hmm...

Because ironcrotch is right, it does cover the headphone jack. There is however a micro usb at the base of the stand that could be used (acoording to HTC) to output audio. If so, then a micro usb to 3.5 mm cable could be connected to the car kit for the benefit of listening to audio.

It's a micro and not mini usb port on the base? If it was mini, there's an HTC USB charging/audio splitter that has a 3.5mm output and usb charging input in one...

yep that's expensive. I ended up going with CoPilot 8 its only $30 and no subscription fees - It does everything my Garmin can and more. I bought one of those universal windshield mounts and an extra usb cable to keep in my car so I can charge it. Grand total $50.
Since I have a Premier(pioneer) headunit i can plug my usb and 3.5 jack into it and get all my audio through my stereo - at the same time too.
Did anyone tried to use this with an micro-B to Mini-B adapter and the HTC USB/Audio Splitter.
I'm currently playing with the idea of getting an HD2 and I already own that splitter. But being able to use Audio in the carholder is significant for me...
any information on that issue would be very welcome.
cheers

Dear friends,
I'd like to use HD2 to keep my mp3 (songs and audio books) and listen it via car stereo. Does any one know how's AUX output's quality? Can I listen to audio via HD2's USB port (by using car stereo + USB cable + HD2)? What's the best way to connect HD2 to car audio system?
Thanks in advance.
