Connecting phone up to amp for music

[bingobango]

Hi - I often hook the wifes ipod nano up to my Home cinema A/V receiver using an RCA(I think?) cable. It has one jack that goes into the headphone socket and 2 jacks that go into the amp.

I tried this quickly with my HTC desire but no sound came from the amp - just from the phones speaker!

It should just have the same headphone jack as an ipod nano so why didnt this work?

It should work. It should be a 3.5mm male mini-jack to 2x RCA male.

Do headphones work?

Headphones work fine!

I'll try it again, maybe the jack didn't go all the way in or something..

Its possible. The recess on the jack socket is renowned for causing a connection issue with many standard TRS (tip, ring, Sleave) connectors.
