Thanks for this write up. 1.1.4 plus firefly is nice for when i’m at work.

I suggest using an xacto and “rolling” the plug on a solid surface. Sharp enough to slice through the rubber and if you slip you just hit the top of desk or whatever hard surface you are using. This leaves exposed the soldered connection though.

yeah, regarding the headphones, i tried carving with a knife, and besides nearly severing my finger, it resulted in a really sloppy finish. The next attempt was holding the jack with some vice grips and using heavy rough sandpaper to hone a smooth even reduction of girth. I have done this for a few cables and it’s worth the 10 minutes effort (when streaming isn’t an option )

Thanks for the detailed help! Now I got it up and running on my 1.1.4 iPhone.

I really love the iPhone in almost every way, but the most annoying thing at the moment is the earphone plug hole, which only takes the Apple-provided earphones. That’s why I needed the media streaming so I can listen to my music at work as well with better and more comfortable earphones.

This saved my day (and my other earphones from carving the plug smaller to fit into the iPhone)!
