Product Description

HTC Multifunction Audio Adapter for HTC Touch T-Mobile G1 Shadow II Wing Sprint Mogul AT&T Tilt
HERE IS A SOLUTION FOR ALL YOU G1 (1.5) USERS: http://code.google.com/p/toggleheadset/. The download is FREE, but I do plan on making a donation.
I have tried it and it works! Note: This is NOT available at the Android Market as the develop doesn’t want to pay the $25 that Google charges to post your application in their Market . This means you will have to configure your phone to accept 3rd-party applications (Note: always a security risk). And, when you do download it, you will have to go to whatever screen you want the “Headset Toggle” to appear and add it as a widget. Launching it directly WILL NOT work.
GOOD LUCK!

I loved this adapter and would have given it five stars until a week ago. Then I received the Android firmware update on my G1 (version 1.5 aka Cupcake). Now this adapter doesn’t work. I had two of these and tested them both, so I’m sure it’s not a malfunctioning adapter. I wrote HTC and they were totally unhelpful. Be forewarned!

first of all, the device does NOT work by itself.
for 1.5 (cupcake) users go to [...] from your ‘gPhones’
and grab Toggle Headset – do make sure you go to settings > applications > and turn on ‘allow installation of applications from outside the Android Market’. Toggle Headset is a WIDGET so put it on your ‘desktop’ voila!
for 1.6 (donut) users to to [...] then head to the ‘download’ tab, again, from your ‘gPhones’
and grab Toggle Headset 2 – do make sure you go to settings > applications > and turn on ‘allow installation of applications from outside the Android Market’. Toggle Headset is a WIDGET so put it on your ‘desktop’ voila!
wonderful little thing for traveling and maybe even at work when they freaking block all your streaming abilities X
am writing this i’m listening to pandora through my HEADPHONES!!!
***this is probably still in beta development there is an occasional glitch in the sound but it’s very very minor compare to when it’s not working at all right? lol!!***
enjoy & happy holidays!

I second JB’s review. Loved the adapter(s). I had two of them that worked flawlessly until I received the 1.5 firmware update (cupcake). After the update neither adapter works. I tested my phone and my wife’s G1. I live in the US and we have a standard G1s, no mods, no hacks, or no tweaks to the phone or firmware.
Prior to the update I could listen to music and charge at the same time for endless music. Now only the charger works. I hope a patch is coming soon?!?!?!
UPDATE: I found a work around. Using the G1 factory USB to 3.5MM headphone adapter in to the USB headphone port on this adapter works! Not perfect, but I can listen to music and have power at the same time again.

I want to be able to listen to my G1 in my car on long drives, which means I need both audio out and charging capabilities. I tried another adapter that didn’t work. This one works great. The only thing that I could ask for is that it wouldn’t kill the mic on the phone when headphones are plugged in, but I think that’s an issue with the phone design rather than the adapter. You can use this to plug your headphones in while charging, or you can use the standard mic+headphone plug that comes with the G1 to charge and talk and listen on headphones at the same time.
It also feels like it’s made of good quality – not just cheap connectors thrown onto cheap wires.
No issues yet, and I even tried charging, listening to music, and talking on the phone at the same time. This adapter totally should have come with the phone.
If you get a buzzing sound when connecting to your car’s audio and a car charger at the same time, you probably need a Ground Loop Isolator. That fixed the buzzing for me. I think that it’s an issue with the car, not with the adapter, so I’m still leaving this as a 5 star review.
