I'm having a funny problem with my mini-usb to headphone adapter
 

I ordered a mini-usb to 3.5mm headphone adapter from seidio (http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductD...=ADA-11PM35FST) so that I can use my headphones on my p6800 (I hate the fact that this phone does not have a headphone jack). I'm following the only instructions on the site which tell me to connect the headphones to the adapter before connecting the adapter to the phone. Even so, I'm still having problems. Half of the time the phone brings up the voice dial screen and stops playing music while it waits for a voice input. The other half of the time it will just go ahead and call the last person I talked to (which has gotten me into some uncomfortable conversations). I thought I had fixed this by turning on flight mode each time I use the headphone adapter, but after a day or so it still brings up the voice deal screen (at least it can't call people). Anyone else have this problem? Any solution? Thanks for any help.

Never had this problem with any of several different varieties of USB to 3.5mm adapters. The adapter may have a short.

Some have weak manufacturing tolerances. Does it make a difference if you pull it out slightly?

I haven't tried pulling it out slightly, at least not on purpose. I have noticed that I get a LOT more problems using headphones when compared to using my car's accessory cable (connected to the CD changer input). It's as if the phone is "detecting" something on the other end of the USB adapter and is trying to do something with it. Happens to various headphones I've tried, so it's not simply a bad set of headphones. It will pull up the voice dial screen as often as every 5 seconds which causes the phone to beep and pause the music. That is, unless it just autodials the last person I talked to (which doesn't beep, so I have no idea that I just called someone unless I'm looking at the phone). Frustrating. I guess it's worth sending back this adapter and trying a new one if I'm the only one to have problems like this. I was hoping there was an easy fix and that I was doing something stupid.

I have a similar question: I just got this adapter for my xv6800:

When I plug it in to the phone with headphones, nothing happens. Music still plays out the phone's speaker. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

I have been trying to find a good way to listen to music and watch movies, espcially while excercising. I also have the motorola s9 bluetooth headphones, but any moister (sweat) seems to ruin them (despite the fact that they are advertised as sweat resistant).

Thanks!

Try the fix here and let us know if it works with that adapter.

I bought mine from Mogul Depot and it works great. $5 for the product and then another $6 for S&H and no complaints yet.

didn't want to start a new thread......was this issue ever resolved?

I went to radioshack and bought a mini-usb to 2.5mm jack that was meant for ''Motorola phones and 'other compatible phones' ". I figure it was just an adapter and it would work......nope. nothing...sounds still play out of the mogul speaker.

any thoughts? anyone wanna give up their mogul adapters :-P

I went out and bought a stereo bluetooth headset. It works real good with the 6800 it is made by insignia. it costed around 60 bucks....but i have had it for 6 months now, and have used it everyday. here in ca it is the law to use bluetooth while driving. sense i am a truck driver, i use it a lot. I would highly recommend it.
