i-Helicopter + Xperia S - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Best €10 I've ever spent.
What fun trinkets do you use with your s?

Where did you buy it at 10 € ?

10 dollars ?? Where ? Link ?

It was ~16USD from Dealextreme. Works out at roughly 10EUR. That was during a sale though.

So not available..?

Still up, but its clearance so they probably wont last. There are a few models, at different prices, but this one seemed the best value to me.

Did you charge it? It has to be charged too.
Connect it then and maximum volume. Worked perfectly for me. If you have a case that covers the top you'll need to remove it to get the jack the whole way in.

Yup done all that.
It works on my friends Xperia Arc and an others X10 mini pro - it just aint working for me
I have a 777-173, could that be a reason?????

No idea.
You could try holding volume down while connecting it. That seems to be a trick for getting headsets to be compatible, might just help.

I'm digging out the post, but it's not working on my Xperia S (Android 4.1.2, newest i-Helicopter from Android).
Is it still working for you?
Seems like they broke something. I can't get the app to work properly.
All I can do is change lights (and that is only when toggling the transmitter ON from OFF) and... that's it. I'm sure that heli works because there's a test app from Orbit that lets you 'test' if engines are OK, but not control the flight

10 dolars?? awesome!

3.5mm jack problems

Just bought my second AMAZE. Rooted & S-OFF yesterday. Don't kno if it is from rooted or just a hardware issue. ANYBODY ELSE!!!!!!!
what's your problem?
My Headphones. Keep disconnecting. And I tried two different headphones
Both headphones work on my glacier so I kno its the phone itself. Just curious if anybody else encountered the same problem if not then its definitely an hardware issue.
I'm starting to have the same issue, my bro had this.problem as well. It is a hardware issue

I usually use BlueTooth but i remember the batt being a bit flat so i plugged in to the jack and it seemed a bit cracklely.. Sounds like a common fault.

No mine does not work at all when you plug in the headphone jack normally, I have to plug it in slowly untill it works

On one of mine on headphones with mic and button, button click in not recognized.
On another works just fine.
Tried 3 different headphones – same result.
Installed app to detect/configure clicks – it doesn’t see any button clicks.
Headphones and mic works fine on both – means every ring on 3.5 jack has proper contact.
What else could it be?
I can plug super slowly – the icon changes from headphones to headphones with mic.
But button doesn’t work still
I see I'm not the only one with this problem I'm just surprised cause my phone was only one day old. My wife has the same phone non rooted will check hers tonight when I get home from work. If hers work I'm just going to swap it out and see if still has the problem.
OK so I stopped home reel quick and checked my wife's phone and her non rooted phone jack does the same thing so its either the OTA UPDATE or they just gave us a crappy jack port to all phones
I'm testing it out on my phone right now. What is it that I'm looking for because everything is working here for me.
Well I'm listening to a song on YT though.
Don't know if that makes a difference.
The headphones keep connecting & disconnect like every couple of seconds. It will not hold a steady connection for the headphones.
mine was fine before OTA, now i got the same problem

Hi, my touchscreen is useless when my charger or headphones is plugged in on my S X S. It thinks I'm touching everywhere on the bottom of the screen. When nothing is connected then it's 100% fine. Anyone else having these problems?

New doesn't mean they aren't defective.
It means it has a flaw made in production, not that they are old or worn.
I have this same problem. No matter what I plug in. It can be charger, aux cable, headphones. All the same effect. It long presses stuff at the bottom. Meaning the 3 capacitive buttons, 4 app shortcuts on launcher and usually the space bar. It's truly annoying

well since it seems only a few people are experiencing it, I don't think it's a normal issue with the device...
I switch between Sony/BB/Whatever I have laying around for cables all the time and have never experienced this issue (along with various headphone cables: Sennheiser, Sony). It sounds like a device fault :/.
Have you by chance posted something on the Sony forums about it?

This issue is normal when the charger is plugged in, but I've never heard it in conjunction with headphones.
It is because of very low parasitic currents which occur if you connect your device with the mains (= charge it).
If the transformer is of high quality, those currents are near zero and of course it's also a cable issue. Small manufacturing tolerances can cause high impacts on that.
Seems people are having this problem with multiple Xperia devices and with this app:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.metalev.multitouch.visualizer2
You can clearly notice the problem. Multitouch itself hardly works when plugged in, doesn't even register 2 fingers. But when unplugged it recognizes 7 fingers!
I FOUND THE POSSIBLE CAUSE AND SOLUTION FOR IT!!
In my case I removed the shatterproof sheet that is preinstalled because I stupidly scratched it. I failed at putting on 2 (two!) screenprotectors. So I decided to call it off and use it without a protector.
When testing with the Multi-touch app, you clearly see a difference in behavior when connected to the charger, headphones or any other device.
First I tried with a small piece of cloth between my screen and finger and saw great improvement. I had some old Nintendo DS screen protectors lying around and tested with those too on my screen. And surprise surprise. All problems were gone.
So my tip to all for this is:
Try a screenprotector on first as it might fix your problem!
DAMN! Why did I remove mine??
Edit: I'm getting the exact same result

Make sure your microphone works.
have you done anything to the phone prior to it not working? if not i would suggest sending back to sony if still under warranty fella
When I test microphone through service configuration , it worked fine but there is lot of distortion in it.

There had been reports that sometimes the phone thinks that a headset is plugged-in resulting in no sounds to be heard from the speaker of the phone.

Hi,

[Q] Has anyone experienced the headphone problems described by Engadget?

As found in the Engadget review:
regardless of which headphones we plugged into the Z Ultra, the device didn't recognize any of them. Just to play it safe, we connected the same headphones into other handsets, at which point they worked perfectly

I have 3 headphones.. 1 from Samsung.. 1 got with the Zu itself.. the other one I have is klipsch.. while first 2 headphones are working fine the klipsch seems to have problems with ZU.. Eventhough I have installed their software phone simply doesn't recognise the headphones.. but say after 10 mins it recognizes and everything is.fine. And if you unplug and put it back again same problem comes back.. weird..

What about the play/pause buttons?

Additional hardware button/shortcut for 24p - $0.39 (Pressy)

It's a hardware button that slots into your 3.5 mm headphone socket and can be used as a shortcut for a number of apps like camera shutter or flash.
May be useful to some.. Can't go wrong for 24p delivered..

It's no bigger than the cutouts for the headphones on most cases so this should be fine to use on a phone with a case. It is in fact the same size as most headphone connectors so if a headphone fits so will this. Just an excuse to spend 24p really lol that's why I bought one, no reason to.. No reason not to. Although I do think being able to activate the flash with one click even with the phone in standby is pretty useful for me personally.

Any effect on battery life?
My G3 (D855) seems to be having issue detecting anything that I plug in the headphone jack other than the stock headphones that came with it. I tried plugging in the pressy button and a portable speaker on separate occasions but they were only detected momentarily. The button works fine on my old phone which is a galaxy note n7000 so I'm pretty sure it isn't spoilt.
Anyone has any clue about this issue? Otherwise I'll probably send my G3 for repair since it's still obviously still under warranty.
I am having issue with Pressy on g3 and my other phone so it's not the phone it's Pressy.
