Headphone Hack anyone! - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Basically i have an Xperia S and have some issues with some of my headphones, mainly my Shure 535. I love these headphones as much as my phone but they dont seem to get along. I have an iphone cable that came with the headphones (that works on my mac and also on my galaxy nexus) the volume up and down didnt work on my nexus but the middle button and the mic did, with the xperia i could make the middle button work if i press the down volume key before plugging them in but there is nothing i have been able to do and get the mic to work. the mic is working when i use it on my mac or my nexus but not on my xperia. Basically i haven't seen any threads here and i would like to read some responses. If anybody has an answer it would be you so please help, thanks in advance

I wanst able to find anything that would otherwise make usual iphone cabled headphones to work with this phone. i need to make the mic of the headset work. if i press down volume while inserting the headphones in to the phone jack it recognizes it as a headset but it wont make use of the mic, and it actually mutes the phone mic so theres no way to talk unless they are disconnected. i could hear the other party but i could not respond. if i just plug it says headset not recognize but at least i could use the phone mic although i look like a retard

[Q] 3.5" Headphones

Hi.
This is my first Samsung so, have mercy
None of my headphones are working.
I only get sound in one side and the other is too low. Almost inexistent.
I tried with cable to connect it to my audio system and the same.
Next step was to use the hands free from my X10.
Is working ... but not as expected. Almost no bass and no trebles.
The only ones working are the ones from the SGS2 box or using my headphones via MW600 bluetooth (which i don't like it as it drains more batter and the SGS2 is power hungry)
So, is a problem with the 3.5" ?
Or my headphones?
Or ... is a compatibility problem? Can i find somewhere an 3.5" adapter?
Thanks
Its gonna sound dumb but u have plugged the jack all the way in yeah? Takes a little bit more force than u think

Worked with other headsets for me
- Dell streak headset
-Iphone headset
Needed that extra push to fit the pin in really well
Well, i'll try one more time ... anyway, earlier i found something else using the X10 headset.
If i press the "answer" button from headset, everything is fine but as soon as is de-pressed ... it goes back.
I have a similar problem with my expensive Shure earphones. They sound much worst and "tinny" then the standard earphones that come with the S2. Even if these earphones are cheap, at least the sound is acceptable.
If I plug the output of the S2 into my car stereo, I again have terrible sound. I am not sure if this has anything to do with the fact that the stock S2 earphones have 4 contacts on the jackplug as compared to 3 on normal jackplugs. The extra contact, I presume, is to permit the switch for fast forward to work on the headphones.
I can't understand why other people don't have this problem - and yes the jack plug is pushed right in.
Yep, pretty sure, the jack is down entirely and still not working.
I tried with the SE X10 headset and normal stereo headphones
I think i will have to stick with the bluetooth if i can't find an adapter of some sorts.

headphones problems samsung galaxy ace

hello...i don't know if it was discussed this problem before,but i just try to resolve headphone problems for my phone...i have the samsung galaxy ace from 2 weeks ago and the problem is : when i connect the headphone (i was trying 3 headphones till now and it was the same problem),the sound is very low,is distorted,it's like in a box,the voices is not hearing...if i keep pressing the play button from the headphone,the sound is better. i read something like "if enter in service mode,on the "audio tab" you can change something", i try,but the "audio tab" from the service mode is the only one which is NOT openning...i don't know what to do next...any idea ?
I have the same problem, the sound with headphones are really low, but i was using Nokia headphones because of microphone. When the button was pressed to take call sound was good, so I just glued it with super glue, now I can listen music at right volume... just cant answer calls!
) nice one .. yes,it's an idea,but i thought that someone knows what is the real problem...maybe is the soft of the phone,maybe is needed some kind of headphones

I've used some el-cheapo Sony headphones from Argos and they're much better quality. Will have to ask my GF to try her Skullcandy headphones and see how they are. But otherwise I'm not one to spend much more than £30 on a pair of headphones, especially when the jacks tend to get screwed up in my pocket.
I've noticed some distortion with my Sony's: sometimes the audio goes quite quiet then loud, repetitively. I'm almost positive it's the custom ROM - Fla.sh v1.

I'm using the Logitech Musicman (or men , whatever) and it performs more than I had expected .
For my Equaliser I'm using Equalizer 3.1.3 (I think)
So do all 3 connection headphones work OK?
Is it just the 4 connection that make the sound go out-of-phase/cancel out?
I do like the galaxy s phones for quality especially with voodoo sound. Surely Samsung could fix this so that the 4 connector headphones are interchangeable??!

Im using Shure SE102 earphones - on low volume you can hear clearly without distortion, on full volume - it not loud enough to get me remove the headphone also no distortion.
Maybe the socket is designed to chuck out a low impedance and phase variance.
I have also used the 5.1 channel button on the music player that comes with Fla.shX2.2 rom and thats works beautifully.
no, the headphones was not specially for samsung (and specially for galaxy ace i didn't find ) 2 are from nokia and one i don't know from where, but i thought that if they have 3.5 jack should work...it seems that i thought wrong ... i will try something from samsung,or have you some recommendation ?
finnaly i solve the problem with Panasonic RP-HS46...not so expensive,but very good sound,bass,etc..
I had exactly the same problem. Tried my old nokia headset, a noname, and a Philips headset. All had the problem of poor quality, and way better when the button was pushed.
The solution:
The I changed to a Philips headset specifically designed for IPHONE and it all of the sudden worked well. Phone now recognizes the headset and the phone is acting on the button.
From my reading I understand that the pins are a bit swapped for iphone, so somehow for my ace it is the same as the iphone pinning.
yes..one of my problems was that i tried some samsung headset...i don't remember exactly the name...after that i was thinking that is a problem with my phone till i tried that Panasonic headset...have not microphone,but i don't needed because i use it just for music

skullcandy headphones work fine but just one prob..
My skullcandy headphones work perfectly fine with great sound quality but the problem is my galaxy ace does not recognise the click functions.I even downloaded an app for this problem but it still doesnt work.
Does anybody hv a solution to this problem cuz even u guys hv this phone and maybe knowing a solution to this problem
I use the head phones from my old phone (INQ cloud touch).They works Great! Even the button to play/pause works.

Yes they do, I managed to get them working by using my old x1 headset wire which is made by two pieces(male 3.5 jack to female + male to in-ear headphones). I plugged beats into SE female jack but obviously mic and + - buttons don't work. Do you know about any tweak to get them working without SE adapter or to get beats hardware buttons working on neo?? Thanks!
They won't work. Read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=19388479#post19388479
Hold down the play/pause button and then insert the headphone cable into the device (still holding down the button). Continue holding down this button for a few seconds aftre plugging in.
Your headphones should now work using this cable
People have wedged things like paper to keep the middle play/pause button held down for the control talk cable to work.

[SOLVED][Q][JB] How to force Xperia P to use Apple Earphones

Hello everyone,
I just wanted to know what app controls headset detection in the Jellybean versions of Xperia P firmware because I've noticed that the new update doesn't let you use other CTIA headsets (like the Apple ones) even though they use the same standard.
In the ICS firmware, you can plug in Apple earphones, a pop up comes up notifying you that the mic and buttons won't work but you get normal output to the earphones. The only thing is that the buttons and microphone don't work, and this is fine for listening to music.
In the JB firmware, you plug in Apple earphones and the same pop up comes up but this time the audio output is still played through the speakers rather than the earphones.
I wanted help on how to force JB to play audio though earphones that we know work with the Xperia P.

I remember reading something ages ago about holding something down while plugging in. Like volume up or down. Just really can't remember now :-S

Just to clarify, are you holding the volume button on the headset or the phone? because you're supposed to hold the headset volume button to make it detect. Tried on stock, it works too

You're on Xperia P as well?
Which kind of Apple earphones are you using? (replacement types, original stock iPod, original stock iPhone etc?)

May be an issue with the newest JB then. Will test once a custom version is out for my ROM and report.
I tried my friends original iPhone 5 earpods and they worked with my phone.
In the meanwhile, you could force the earphones to work with your phone by connecting the earphones to a stereo 3.5mm splitter jack and connecting the splitter to the phone.
The phone will detect them since there's no third channel for the mic/buttons. You can easily find them at any large electronics store and I'd suggest you get one with a thin enough connector if your phone is in a protective case.
I plugged the jack in holding the call button. Worked on my P.
But I have to do that all the time I plug the headphone in.
Volume down
I had the same problem with me Beats Solo HD
Holding down the volume down button of the cable helped
I'm Using XGo
I think it'll work for any other device
if volume down doesn't work just plug in the headphones while holding down any other button

Normal Headphone Jack to Xperia Mini Jack

So I decided to get a new pair of headphones and I found the Coloud Headphones Site but I thought to myself that the mic won't work because of the xperia mini's jack input, because as you may know it doesn't support almost any headphones with mic and a button except if you hold the button pressed or just stop it from working. So that's why I am at this forum asking you people for a suggestion about a jack for input like this, that could support a microphone. Thanks in advance ! :fingers-crossed:
