Silly question. Can I use a standard 3.5mm Headphone/Speaker - EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

On the G1 we did not have an option for a 3.5mm Headphone/speaker without using the adapter with built in speaker.
Now the EVO has both a 3.5mm Jack and a standard Micro USB Jack. When I tried to play music through my car stereo, the 3.5mm Jack on my double sided 3.5mm Jack cancels out the speaker, so I can't use the speaker on the phone.
I know it sounds complicated, but for normal talking, can I use the 3.5mm Jack with a standard Headset?
And for the car, would I need a special 3.5mm ---> 3.5mm (with built in speaker?) or do I use another MicroUSB--->3.5mm Adapter.

modifying my headset

im pissed of that theres no way of piping sound through the car kit, so i want to know is this possible. i have a haicom charger/gps lead which will provide power and gps, using a cheap type holder.For sound , would it work if i cut off the earpieces, and wire to a jack plug, into my stereo aux input?...if this works, the only drawback is having to switch to aux to take a call, so could i patch in a cheap car kit speaker into the cable.....is there enough power to drive it?, i could then only use the aux input when listening to mp3......
yes it would work
but you need not kill a headset you can get
2.5mm to 3.5mm converters and just use that

Wired Headset --> 3.5mm audio jack?

Hi all,
Is there any way to get a converter to allow the XDA to output sound to a 3.5mm standard audio jack?
Want to use in the car on auxiliary input.
Is there a way?
Cheers

yea involves a bit of work though, get all the pin outs here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/Connectors

Convert wired bluetooth headset to car kit

I'm hoping someone more technical than me will be able to help.
I've added an adapter to my car stereo that basically adds an auxiliary input. I plug my Fuze into the auxiliary input using the adapter that came with the Fuze, and listen to mp3's through the car stereo. This works well, but I don't really like having the adapter and cable always hanging from the phone.
I have a wired bluethooth headset that I don't use, similar to this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875982140
So it's basically a bluetooth dongle with earbuds and a mic wired to it. I was wondering if I clip off the earbuds, and splice those wires into a cable with a headphone jack, then plug the jack into the auxiliary input, will this work for playing music over bluetooth throught the car stereo?
Yep, this works! But depending on the BT-profile you will get bad audio quality with mono-sound...
I guess you get better sound if using bluetooth-stereo headphones. They should have the A2DP-profile!

[Q] stero mic?

There's the microusb port. Can that support (or does the headphone/mic jack support) connecting an external stero mic to record better quality music than the onboard mono of the mytouch 4g?
I've search around and found some chinese stuff that's iffy, and I don't know if it will work. I'm looking for a solid solution to some real solid stereo recording of acoustic music. I've got a 3.5mm mic that works when plugged into mic jack of my laptop, it worked with an old AIWA "walkman" I had with an external mic jack. The head phone jack of the MT4G is also 3.5mm. ?
Thanks

Hmm, good question. I'm a musician too, that would be sweet for mobile recording.
This might be a bit obvious, but since you've already got a 3.5mm mic, why don't you plug it in and try?

From what I understand, the Mytouch 4G uses a standard microUSB port that only charges/connects the device. Thus, barring some kind of circuitry miracle, the MT4G cannot record audio from the microUSB port.
Unfortunately, the device will only record mono from the 3.5mm input. Even if you did use a stereo mic, I believe that the MT4G will only record from one channel. Like Sunsean suggested, test it out with the mic you have. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
five hundred bucks for mono mic in.
sigh.
i'll try but looks like it's a nonstarter.
thanks guys.

[Q] OEM Desktop Dock: Does it work with microphone headsets?

I'm looking at buying the overpriced desktop dock when it's available again, but I use a moshi moshi desktop phone since I'm on the phone all day quite frequently and holding it up to my ear kills me. (I don't like regular bluetooth headsets for a number of reasons as well.)
My question is simple: can someone with the dock (and 4.0.3+, apparently) test if a microphone-enabled headset works with that port? On the Nexus One, the port wasn't even physically able to take a 3.5mm with mic, so I still had to plug the phone into the top of the phone. On the desktop dock, that's impossible since the jack is concealed by the dock.
Thanks in advance!
Just looking at the dock pictures you can see it's the same as the Nexus One, it completely blocks the 3.5mm headphone jack.

That's because the dock has a headphone jack. But does that jack work with a microphone headset?
Apparently, they labeled that jack as headphone, no mention of mic or combo port, so i think we can assume it'snot supported.
