Does anyone know if the HTC P3350 W100 Wired Remote Control
http://www.expansys.com/htc/p_htc_item.aspx?i=147564[/URL]
will work with the Cingular 8525 (Hermes, TyTN)? This is sold in Europe and can be had in the US from Mobile Planet which seems to be the same as expansys.com.
On the European HTC site there is also a media fix that may apply to this accessory as well as the Y connector.

The hot music setup for Mogul and 8525
I just purchased the HTC RC W100 Remote from Mobile Planet. It connects to the phone's extUSB and provides a 3.5mm headset jack that carries the mic port out to the connector. It has a 36" cord so there is a lot of cord if you have a long headset cord.
The head has controls for fast forward, pause, +/- volume and you can answer/end calls, mute and put a call on/off hold. This assumes that you have a mic on your headset to talk into.
The http://www.Europe.HTC.Com site says it is for the TyTn II but it seems to work with both the 8525 and the Mogul . . . It is not on the USA site at all.
I use the Sure SE110s stereo headset (individual internal sub-woofer component) and added their MPA-C cable that has a mic in it (Thsi would work for any headset). I have not found any other solutions that wok this well.
The standard headset really has poor quality and is uncomfortable for my ears. Bluetooth is either a mono headset w/ mic or a stereo headset (no mic) and the battery life is unpredictable.
This way I can ride my bike and control my music while the Mogul stays in my camel-back and when a call comes I can actually answer it and then go back to listening.
Very cool setup.
So this doesn't solve the headphone problem? Can't I just buy this and a pair of headphones? I don't need handfree anyway
E: Why a 36'' cord? I totally lost interest

I do not know what headset problem you are referring to but this is definitely a solution if you want to listen to music with a good stereo headset. I just happen to like the Shure stuff because they eliminate some road and wind noise while I am riding my bike or skiing. Also the higher end ones actually have miniature tweeters and sub-woofers built in.
All you need is the W100 and any headset with a 3.5mm jack.
As it turns out, I just found out the unit has a built-in mic and that eliminates the need for a more expensive headset that has a mic. There was nothing in the manual that came with it that talked about the mic! So RTFB does not work!
It also comes with a small disc that has the driver in it. I tried to install it on my Mogul but it said that I had the latest driver . . .
As far as the 36" cord, my Shure headset comes in 2 pieces, the earphones are on a short cord so it is not too long. If you had a standard headset, it might get a little long.
The other side of the Shure headset has the connectors that go into the device(s). This way you can have several different connectors for different phones, MP3 players, etc. Blackberry's and Razor's have different jacks and most cell phones like the HTC 8125 (Cingular) use a 2.5 mm jack.
I posted a reply to this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=450197 because it also talks about such an adapter, but I thought I would post a new thread for the phone that I actually have.
I'm looking for a extUSB to 3.5mm adapter, but not the common kind that allows you to plug in stereo headphones or has a microphone built inside the adapter. I'm looking for an adapter that allows you to plug in stereo headsets with in-line microphones. These headsets are designed for iPhones and BlackBerrys and has a 3.5mm connector with an extra ring to support the microphone, and I'm hoping to find an extUSB adapter that supports 3.5mm connectors with three rings so the microphone would work. Does anyone know if such a thing exists? Thanks.
I use this one. It's kind of big but it is the only i can find that I am able to use my iphone headphones with inline mic. After cupcake came out the adapter stopped working but is now working with cyanogen's rom. I would love to find another smaller one that will work with an inline mic.
Thank you so much flowidc for confirming that such a thing actually exists! Please keep me up to date on your quest to find a smaller version of the adapter.

mine never broke. only time it didn't work was in OTA cupcake
I have this same HTC usb to stereo with mic adapter and have used it with Cyan 4.04, Cyan 41x, and all the Hero Roms and had no problems. I use both Blackberry earpieces w/ mic and a cheapo earpiece w/ mic. I like way better than the regular HTC usb adapter and earbuds.
I found it on Ebay, I offered the guy $5 and he accepted my offer. Here is the link

this might be a stupid question, but would the HTC Multifunction Audio Adapter allow you to use a headset that comes with a mic, or would you have to use a earpiece along with an inline microphone?
thanks

You just use a headset that has a built in mic.
*edit*
Nevermind, same thing already posted but for much less...
Try this instead

Great adapter and good build quality too (it has rubbery coating on the cable and it doesn't feel/look cheap unlike some adapters with this style). Great for driving headset since it already has built-in mic. You can use any headphones you want, even though I think the original pair that comes with it performs quite well. The downside is that there's no manual volume control on it, but I can live with that.
Dream not of inline microphones...
I got the OEM adapter as well, but on my ADP1, it doesn't fully work;
I can charge, but the 3.5 and 2.5 jacks are dead. They neither work as outputs or inputs. If I plug an EXtUSB to 3.5 adapter into the EXTUSB headset port on the OEM adapter, the phone's microphone is disabled.
I really want an adapter that can be used to connect, via 3.5 wire, to the car stereo, and still be able to use the phone's microphone, or be able to plug in an external microphone for hands-free use.

I have a similar setup, I discovered yesterday on the way home a way to get audio through the 3.5mm jack. This is a convoluted way, but it did work.
1. I had my OEM adapter plugged in
2. I plugged in my OEM headset to the headset jack
3. I plugged in the 3.5mm adapter into the 3.5mm jack
4. Started the music player
The sound came through both the headset and the car radio, unplugged the headset and the sound continued to play through the radio. Once the 3.5mm jack is unplugged, the process will need to be repeated. I hope this helps.

hi there,
i'm looking for a solution i got an htc touch hd but the 3.5 mm stereo jack is broken, only 1 side of my headphones work when i plug it in
i have very expensive 3.5mm headphones so i can't use cheap bluetooth headphones instead
i thought of something : plug my 3.5 mm headphones into a bluetooth transmitter. then my htc touch would use this like a handsfree headphone
but my problem is : i can easily find devices that you plug into the htc to transmit the signal to a bluetooth receiver
but not something that receive the signal from the htc then convert it to my 3.5 mm stereo headphones
only thing i could find is stuff like that : http://reviews.cnet.com/headsets/jabra- ... 00510.html
you can find similar stuff from erickson or motorola.... its what i need + a pair of headphones
i'd like to buy that kind of device without a pair of headphones
does that exist?
thank you (and sorry for my poor english)
is this what you are looking for?

you can use your own headphone for this
Hey guys i was wondering i have the apple iphone headphones with the built in mic and ive used it on my moterola rokr e8 just by plugging it into the 3.5mm jack on the phone. Now i know the htc touch pro 2 only has miniusb my question is that is it possible to use an adapter from miniusb to 3.5mm to get it not only the headphones to work but the mic as well?
anyone have any ideas?
I'm surprised you haven't gotten any response to this. I am sure you can use the earphones. The question is will the mic work? My adapter has a built in mic so I can't answer that part. Sorry.

ohh alright and which adapter are you using? i have an adapter one with a mic as well for the htc but i find the cord gets really long and it kind of annoying that the mic is on the adapter cuz the headphones are much closer and you have to clip the adapter close to your face but yeah which adapter do you use?
Not working
I think it's not working properly.
I previously read this in an another thread. Earphones are working but not the mic because it's not the same wiring. If i remenber, volume control on the headphone will work too.
I think it depends on the adapter you are using. From what I understand the OEM HTC adapters will allow a headset mic to work, but some of the off-brand (non-OEM) ones don't work with mics.
So I'm using my old Infuse car dock for the SIII. It has USB plugin along with a 3.5mm audio jack. It's not using the headphone jack. It piggybacks the 3.5mm audio out of the USB.
Anyways, I have not yet figured out how to get both bluetooth and the usb/3.5mm audio working at the same time.
Music works great coming out off the 3.5mm audio to my car stereo. But then I can't use my bluetooth microphone at the same time?
So if I want to take a call, I have to remove the phone from the dock and answer it the old fashioned way.
