Hi there,
I've got really strange problem with my XPERIA MINI PRO - when I plug in the headphones, the phone wouldn't recognize them.
Only if I've had them plugged before BOOT of my phone.
So, when Iam turning on / rebooting my phone with plugged phones, they're working and recognized, but when I disconnect them, same problem -> phone ignores it.
So, my xperia mini pro can't recognize the action of plugging in phones in general. Have tried official kernel, custom kernel, few roms and its deffinitely a hardware problem.
Does anyone knows how does this phone recognize that? And what might be my problem?
Thanx for any ideas.

i have a similar problem on mine, but mine thinks it has headphones plugged it all the time! i downloaded an app called "headset toggle" it gives you a widget on your home screen to show if headphones are connected or not, and clicking on the icon forces a connect or disconnect of them regardless of wether they are connected or not, should fix your problem:

edit: just to add i have 4.0.4 and it works perfect on my phone
Headset not recognising
i am facing the similar problem...... my headset is also not detecting when i plug in, detecting only when i reset my phone and when i unplug again it's not detecting. i face this problem since i update my mobile to latest version (ICS 4.0.4)

Hello,
I had the exact same problem. It was a hardware problem. The only way is to take it in for service as I did. was repaired at electronics level.
Is it possible to solve this problem with headphones? Any app? Toggleheadset does not work for me. Thanks

did you use a SE headphone or a normal headphone?
i got similar problem. If jack isnt plugged in, there are some electronical noises in microphone, so i cant use, if i remove jack, the phone doesnt recognize. i ToggleHeadset, now microphone works good, and recognized that i removed the jack
what hardware causes this problem? i ask it because i bring my mini pro friday to the service, and maybe i'll ask about it there for repair.

This is a halfway software solution to make the phone work, for a complete repair i believe taking the phone to service is necessary.
I have a hardware problem where xperia mini pro (Stock Rom ICS 4.0.4) is constantly detecting headphones connecting and disconnecting. This stops all the multimedia with sound, so it was impossible to start a music file or video because it was automaticly paused).
Disabling the Live ware app (connect now app) did not help,
This may not work for people who can not make phone play music or videos after headphones are inserted,
I managed to solve problem with software and by inserting headphones in the jack once every boot.
You need 2 apps; soundabout and toggleheadset2 (widget),
soundabout does not need to be registered), you will just need to set soundabout service to run on every boot, and set the 'media audio' output to speaker by default.
Every time phone is booted or rebooted insert the headphones, then play a song, remove the headphones and toggle headset to off, every time you wish to use the headphones you will need to toggle the headset widget to on manually,
i recommend to have phone calls and messages also set to vibrate in case you forget to toggle after unplugging the headphones.
I have not yet managed to get working the headset microphone,
If the headphones work in iPhone they wont work in Xperia mini pro or arcs or 2011 device , u need JVC gummy plus , they come with adaptor to sort the problem

I just purchased a Sony H/U for the car.
The phone is found with no problem, but no matter what I do I cannot get sound to come out of the H/U when using B/T or USB, playing music or using the phone handsfree.
I have 2.2.2 installed on the phone, Build 15609, OEM GAUSB1A135100.
I have a B/T earpiece that works properly. I made sure it was disconnected in case there was some kind of interference but that didn't help.
Anyone have any suggestions as to where to start?
The automatic search came up with nothing for the Streak when I started the thread.
Hey guys I did some research already and it appears that the Xperia S can't connect to the USB on my car stereo and play music because it does not come with an MSC mode? I saw that there is a mod in the development section that allows you to mount your phone to USB devices and I'm wondering if that is a solution to connecting my phone to the car, or if there are any other alternatives.
Normally i connect my phone with bluetooth to an sony carstereo. It worked really fine..
I dont know if thats an option for you..
Some people say .76 fixed that problem.. Cant really confirm that. You can give it a try...

I had a problem, but discovered that if i turned USB-errorcorrection or was it unknown sources off, the problem was gone...
Try to play a little with those settings...

I don't think you can control the phone through USB, but you might be able to via Bluetooth, if you have that.

Have you got an auxiliary out socket on your car stereo?
Can you connect to that from the headphone socket on your phone?

OP you need to root so you can mod it to use the internal as mass storage. That'll fix it.
Ok then...
Maybe my cheap kenwood is just better at this then, but i doubt...
I have no rooted firmware just stock...
My carradio don't actually controll the phone, it just play the music foldere on my phone, and i am able to controll that...

Shoot, I was thinking about rooting it, apparently it will work if I access MSC mode? I just don't know exactly how to root it, is there like a new root method for .75 update or do you downgrade first? I'll probably find the answer if i dig through the forums but since this is my first time owning an android phone I didn't want to risk bricking it only weeks after buying it!
My car doesn't support bluetooth stereo unfortunately so only the USB cable is an option, and yes AUX works but that is besides the point.
I am in the same boat as you, I have an Alpine 105i, and the Xperia doesn't even know it's plugged in, so won't even charge, never mind be used as a MSD...
Let me know how you get round this if you do.
I'm not sure what's wrong but I've been having bluetooth connectivity issue last few days. I paired the Z Ultra with Sony Smartwatch and I noticed that the Smartwatch would loose connectivity every once in a while, even though the phone is in my pants pocket or just 30cm away from.
I did all the usual troubleshooting, restarting both devices and re-pair it.
Anybody experiencing similar issue?
I have actually experienced a problem with the bluetooth when pairing to my Jabra headset. I have only had the phone for a 2 days and just recently updated to build number 14.1.b.0.471. Since then, i havent tested out the bluetooth yet. However, i have seen some bug fixes.
Have you updated to the latest firmware yet?

Yes, the phone is up to date.
I'm having Bluetooth issues with various headsets and this phone. Some of them disconnect, some hang, some randomly will have one way voice in the middle of the call.
Running the latest firmware. Something is up with the BT drivers on this phone.

i had similar issues with bluetooth and linking to my car. at first it worked fine, but if i would change input on car stereo and come back, to the bluetooth, the mb bluetooth would auto start google play music. the solution for me was to remove all device from bluetooth option from phone and car and it worked perfectly.
That sounds worrying cos I ordered the SBH52
Hope they fixed this. Haven't tested my blue tooth yet cos I don't have a BT device.

The thing is, I only paired one bluetooth device to the phone. As mentioned above, I unpaired, restart and re-pair the Smartwatch again and the issue persist.
I find it weird because it worked fine when I first paired the Smartwatch with the phone. The problem only occurred recently
I've had nothing but trouble using SBH50 (same with both firmwares 1.0.A.4.0 and 1.1.A.0.7) with Z Ultra (14.1.B.0.475). First time connection (NFC) went smoothly. Followed by lots of trouble within minutes. Frequent lost connections (even when they were just a few inches apart) followed by requests for pairing. Random loss of media or phone audio without any warning sign.
Connection was stable only after uninstalling the SBH50 android application (and all the smart extras), disabling Sony Smart Connector and execution of manual pairing. No more event reminders, but at least it is now usable for music and phone calls. Hopefully Sony will update firmware/software to address the connectivity problems.
[Edited 30 August 2013: Happy to report that the connectivity problems were resolved in firmware 14.1.B.1.510]
how about me, i can't event send a file from my laptop to my device?
anyone can help?

broken bluetooth
hi guys, ive been looking for a fix to my bluetooth. i just bought SW2 but i still unable to use it because apparently the bluetooth on my phone could not detect the watch. I have tried reset, fixing it via companion apps in windows but problems still persist. i have tried using my galaxy with SW2 and no problem there. basically it was my bluetooth inside the ZU that are causing all the problems. Im on the latest build .257 and are not rooted. Bootloader is locked and everything else is stock. When i tried to connect via the 1-touch NFC there's dialogue showing up on my phone that the watch is connected but nothing happen afterwards. the SW2 is still in its pairing mode and there are no instruction to ask me for download or anything as shown by Sony in their youtube channel. Im growing frustrated with this phone. Having to live without root and now wasted $200 on a watcg that i cant even use. argghhhhhhhh....any help is much appreciated guys!
I have the same problem with the Sony SmartWatch 2 when I talk in my BT headset the phone keeps losing connection with my watch.
edit: system restore did the trick
Im also facing unresolved issue with my xperia zultra and bluetooth connectivit.
My phone is unable to recognize any bluetooth hardwares and its becoming quite annoyiing.
Has there been any remedy to this issue?
Thanks
Hi all,
I recently got the xperia z2 and have been having trouble getting the z2 to identify my sony ericsson mw600 via bluetooth. I know i can pair the phone with my laptop and other devices so i dont think its a internal problem. I also know my mw600 headset works with my old phone. Any idea why the z2 might not be seeing my mw600 on the bluetooth screen?

Im not familiar with the headset but some times devices can only be synced with 1 device at a time, does it need to maybe be unlinked then linked with a new device?

I am quite sure the sony ericsson mw600 allows you to pair multiple devices, and besides i broke my other phone so wouldn't be able to unpair it.
the must go into pairing mode first, then use the z2 to scan via bluetooth and connect it.
bluetooth handfree device doesn't require to unpair just pair with another device to overwrite it.

just to clarify -
is the headset in paring mode?
Thank you for someone to notice it and I have the same issue with my DR-BTN200. It shows connected and music plays from external speakers and if it successfully connected then every single notification you get the phone keeps disconnecting it from the headset and plays music from external speakers and then connect it back to bluetooth headset.
HUGE BUG

Don't know if this helps but i have the smart wireless headset pro - mw1 and that works fantastically well. Had some trouble before with my Xperia V but they are all gone now with the Xperia Z2. Just put the headset in paringmode, made the phone visible, erased my old Xperia V from the MW1 and all was good.
Hi all,
Thanks for the input! I managed to solve it. My samsung s3 never needed the mw600 to actually go into pairing so i had no clue the mw600 even had a pairing mode! After some checking I found out i had to hold the power button for 5 seconds for it to go into pairing. After that my z2 picked it up fine and works just like before.
Thanks again to everyone that replied!

All bt devices need to go in pairing mode before they can be discovered. For your S3, I am guessing it is the first phone you paired with the headset brand new? Cause most devices will go straight into the pairing mode when turned on for the first time, hence that's why you didn't know or need to activate it.
had pairing issues too, was not able to pair some devices, but after disabling NFC i had no problems.
I haven't used bluetooth much on this phone yet, so I don't know if this is device specific or a general problem. Anyway, my phone pairs with my car bluetooth dongle and works normally the first time, but when it's already paired it just won't connect, no matter what. It works again if I unpair it and pair it again, but that's not very convenient...
Has anyone else noticed this kind of behavior and is there a fix for it?
Try clearing the system cache and a network reset.
Well, I don't know what happened or changed but today it just worked... Weird.
Ah, turns out with this phone, I just need to wait until the dongle is properly initialized before trying to connect, otherwise it just gives up and won't even try again.
With my old Huawei, I could do it straight away and it would connect when it's done...

Try in safe mode. May have a 3rd party app conflict.
Could also be a coincidence and the crappy dongle is giving up.
It's a cheap eBay bought one that renders an mp3 file on the fly so the car stereo can play it like normal flash storage. My wife's Xiaomi also had some issues connecting to it yesterday, and today as I was driving music stopped several times and the stereo said "USB format incompatible", then skipped to the next track and continued. I'm planning on installing an Aux input into the car soon so I can plug a better bluetooth receiver into that, so hopefully that'll solve the problem.
