Dealing With Low Volume

[danbee46]

I have a 4355 and love it. However, as you must know, the volume is so low as to be useless. I have a BT headset that works fine. Still, does anyone know if there are external speakers that can be used with the 4355? Any info will be appreciated.

Ipaq 4355 headphone jack is standard 3.5mm so most computer's speakers should work fine. You can also use portable speakers that people use with their mp3 players. Here're some examples;

the ear phone jack does it allow for headset input
ie plug in a music source
or is the built in microphone the only input

Ipaq 4355 headphone jack is standard 3.5mm, not 3 ring headphone jack, so it does not support mic in or headset. iPAQ hx4700 does support headset though.

Yes, iPaq 5555's input jack does support headset and mic input as long as it's 3 ring 3.5mm like this

iPaq 5555 also supports bluetooth headset.

the plug would have to have four contacts
i wonder if there is an adapter
to plug in a microphone and headphones
someone must sell the plug

Do you mean an adapter that has split of two inputs, one for regular microphone and another for regular headphone? Same site as above has one for Toshiba, scroll down on the link below and look for 3.5mm Microphone/Speakers Adapter;

You can also use stereo headset like this

and use it instead of regular headphone.
