usb to headphone jack help - Page 2

I bought that adapter from radio shack and it didn't work in my car(my receiver has a 3.5" input) and nothing came through. I switched back to the stock dual splitter and everything was fine. Kind of glad I did, because my Receiver has both a USB and 3.5" plug, the USB charges and the 3.5" sends the music through the receiver. The only down side is if I get a call I have to unplug it or use a bluetooth headset because I can hear the caller but the mike somehow is diabled.

This is my main problem and is wearing out my usb jack.
Can any one help! I will pay if any one who is really good at this stuff can send me a fix.

By far the easiest solution that I have found is to stop by a T-mobile store and get the exact HTC USB to 3.5 headphone jack plug for the G1. Works perfect even branded with the HTC logo right on it.

obviously it's not "plug and play", does this even work for the touch? if so how?

Look at the add again. It specifically says for Motorola.
Its a different USB connector than on the HTC devices.

Yeah I bought some usb headphones from Amazon for the razor thinking it would work, but when plugged it in, the phone didn't even know it was there.

So I realize my initial reply was kinda vague... the one I have is the one that's listed on ebay that alex jb got... and that you're considering getting it.
Just confirming that yes, you can answer calls, play music, and charge it. Just a minor thing that I noticed is that now, in order to charge, I can't just jam the USB end in... I need to pull it out a bit. One of the pins must be a bit off now... not sure if that's build quality or I just got unlucky. Very trivial to do though, not a big deal.

You can use a standard 2.5 mm to 3.5 mm adapter if you use the oem Y adapter that came with the touch. It is kinda bulky considering the Y adapter is pretty stiff. I have no idea about call answering. When listening to mine calls would interrupt the music then once I hung up it would resume play.
