yes!
here you are an example:
http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Analog_wired_Headset_Nokia
but i'm sure there was something describing more in detail the neo cable
displacement.

 Earlier I used Nokia headphones with a 2.5mm plug and had the same
 one-bud sound issue. At that time I hadn't yet figured out the
 workaround of pulling it out a little bit, I'll test that later today.

I confirm that the workaround of pulling the plug out just a little bit
also works with the Nokia headphones with 2.5mm plug.

That ugly workaround has been working for me, although it's far from being a
good solution. I guess the problem is the output has L + R + Mic, while
standard headphones (and adapters) have only L + R. So, you have to figure out
the position where L + R meets L + R. Btw, it's just my newbie theory for this
issue.

[GTA02] headphone socket issues

2010-03-23 Thread Paul Wise
Hi all,

When I plug headphones all the way in to the headphone socket, only one
of the buds works, but when I don't push it all the way in I get sound
from both buds. Same thing happens in both Debian and SHR. Does anyone
else have this issue with their FreeRunner or have thoughts on the cause
or ideas for how to fix it?

[Please CC me in reply]

Hey, this looks very much like you used an ordinary 2.5-3.5mm plug
converter which doesn't work due to wrong pinout. Just use correct

The connector is probably different because original earpieces packed with 
freerunner have also button that can be pressed to generate pause/play event. 
I experienced exactly the same with converter - now i have ordered bluetooth 
headphones and hoping that they will work :-)
