hello every one;
yesterday i went to a mobile show room to by a handsfree to my xperia s. Then a shop keeper took my XS from my hand and he plugged tha handsfree into my XS audio jack but, unfortunately it did not support to my XS then the shop keeper removed it and again he started to plug in that same handsfree like hard core at high speed 10 to 12 times again and again. Guys will it be a problem for my xperia s audio jack i mean does the pins inside tha audio jack will get any loose conections? Ha guys? I am so scared guys i did not sleep the whole night because of thinking about this
thank you in advance

There are no pins there and the only thing that might be broken is the headphones dont worry

They do if you plug them into the long cable - which is where the microphone is.
i straight plug them into the phone
This was a problem on the older firmware.. But latest version has fixed it.. .435

I haven't had any problem with phones...
I had problems with the apple headphones w/mic, but the apple ones without the mic worked perfectly... it must be something to do with the mic, cause now im using skullcandy inkd (no mic) and so far Ive had no problems.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
yes
the problem is with the mic on the SE headset...i connected it to my blackberry...still same problem
connected headphones to ipod via the mic..same problem...without mic no problem
so mic is the culprit
On normal headphones there are three contacts on the jack: left right and ground.
On on headsets that also have a microphone there are four: left right ground and mic.
If you have to press the button for the audio to be normal then mic and ground need to be switched. All of the SE headsets are like this by default but they suck, so we can get an extension cable and cut it and reconnect it switching ground and mic. If such a cable exists. I cant find one and scrapped a variety of adapters to make an equivalent. If you would like to give it a shot you have to switch the two contacts farthest from the tip.
All of my normal headphones work no problem, so if anyone has problems with those it's a mystery to me.
Anyways we can all thank SE for this.
its okay
i bought a MW600 and ended all my problems
working fine
I found a fix for the Titan's but it does include soldering and possibly losing the mic function but if you're not bothered about that then give this a shot!
What I did was to open up the mic module and play around by bridging certain areas together. What I found was that on 1 side of the circuit inside there is a tiny resistor/cap which when bridged brings the sound of the headphones back to normal so what I did was simply solder over the cap/resistor which then brought my headphones back to life!
The reason that people have problems with these headphones is because they are set up for Apple devices and because of this 2 wires are switched around, mic and ground I believe! So, If you go out specifically to buy any of these type of headphones then make sure that they're not Apple specific and that they are universal otherwise you'll come across the above problem.
This quick fix may work for other Skullcandy headphones that are designed for Apple products but i can't guarantee it as I only have the Titan's!
Hope this helps some of you out and saves you a few penny's in the long run!
One of the things that really annoyed me about my previous SE phone was the fact that i could not use my Klipsch x10i headphones with it. Having spent a considerable amount of money on them for when i had an iphone and then having moved over to SE i was amazed to find that they would not work with it.
As a so called 'high end' media device then why oh why have they made this same mistake again?
Anyone know of any kind of adapter or anything that would enable me to use my Klipsch headphones?
Very annoying!
I thought the XS has the same headphone socket thats used in the iPhone??
I found out that can't even use your SE Arc headphones on the SXS. Not that it matter much since you get some new headphones in the box. But I found it strange that a sony product can't be used with this new phone.
I also have the MW600 bluetooth headset. And i can confirm it works with the SXS. However it had to reset the headphones by: Holding down Power button and Answer button for 15 sec.
But it still can't show titles of the music you play on the display. Sony told me that titles would not work with android devices. I found that annoying aswell since this product showed up as a accessory for the Xperia Arc.

Well beats headset works just fine tested with my sons one
just come off the phone from xperia s help line and they tell me that it is possible to buy an adapter (not offical one) from any good electrical retailer like maplins that plugs on the end of your headphones and then into the phone.
Amazes me that i have to get a cheap peace of tat probably made in some knock off shop to get my exspensive headphones to work lol.
Actually maybe the headphone makers themselves do an adapter? Might need to look into that.

Heavily discussed already. With the Xperia S, Sony is using the same CTIA standard as the iPhone, HTC phones, etc. The Arc still used the OMTP plug.

Not sure if it's a matter of impedance, but the Etymotics that I bought for the iPhone work perfectly with the Xperia S.
Try this: As you plug in your Klipsch, hold down the "answer" button.
I have standard AKG earphones what work just fine with the phone, also sennheiser HD 485 works just fine - tested a moment ago. Maybe theres a broken jack socket in OP's phone ?
Every earphones with 3 pin jack plug will work. The problem is with headsets (mic + earphones) with 4 pin jack plug.
Hmm interesting
Using my denon ach 360s now as I was having the issue with the kplisch but going to give another try as I assumed after not working the first time it was just down to the same problem I had on my arc.

After trying various combinations of pressing the buttons while inserting the jack they now work
Not sure which combination did it but at least I know they will work which is fantastic news. I've never used the remote on the headset so don't really know what they do and which would be the answer button but hey I'm just happy they work. Thanks

A few days ago i noticed strange issue on my SXS.It was tipical day for me,after schoole lay down in bed put headphones,and enjoy.And it was ok,until i moved my phone.Music suddenly stoped.So i yought i accidentally somehow pressed stop.But after I moved my phone again,same problem.Than I wondered wtf i haven't touched any of the phones buttons and it stopped...So searching for the factor that causes this problem,i found it.Every time i move my headset jack a little bit,the music stops,like i plugged my headphones off and i didn't.So anyone has thos problem?I don't get it,is it up to the headphones or jack?It's frustrating,i must be like a statue so i can listen the music!

Can't you just try different headphones?
Gesendet von meinem LT26i
It's just the connection. The lead I use to connect to my stereo is the same, but my earphones are just fine.
I don't believe it's a problem with the phone hardware.
Just out of interest do you use a case? I only ask because my connection is more sensitive if I have the case on. I looked and the case actually slightly gets in the way and the jack is not quite so deep, but earphones are still fine.

Try another headphone before assuming its the jack
You can also try cleaning the jack, see if that helps

Thread moved to Q & A section.
OK. So I have looked ALL over the forums and interwebs and I haven't found anything that relates to the problem i'm having!
I have had my S2 for almost 2 years and it has never failed me. Let's say about a year ago I was using my official samsung headphones when the right side stopped working. Considering that it could be the phone's problem I used the headphones in other devices (inclusing pc) and realised that the headphones had the same problem, right side was dead.
So, I tried my sister's headphones (official), worked great for about a week, then the same happened. Right headphoned died!
Then I bought some similar headphones, worked great for 2 days, then....caput! Right side dies!!!
I have tried settings, looking inside audio jack, fiddle around with headphone cable. I HAVE NO CLUE!
Is anyone finding this a problem? Has it happened to anyone else? Is this a common problem with the S2?
I am running Android Jellybean 4.1.2.
I am not rooted and I don't want to take my phone apart. I'm starting to think the S2 is eating away at headphones in general, only the right side.
Thanks in advance!
I've used the stock earphones and a better quality Sony pair....and I'm also using a mod that significantly increases overall volume and bass etc........and so far, my earphones seem to be surviving......when you were using these earphones, did you notice any significant difference in the sound balance between left and right?
Edit......
Just a question......
With the stock earphones, you have the main (single) cable between the plug and the mic.....and then from the mic, you have a short left cable and a long right cable......were the other earphones you used of the same design, or were they the more traditional type where the left and right cables are the same length?

Nope! Sound quality was perfect every time. Settings were set to stereo and never had to change the equaliser. All earphones would work flawlessly in any music player, video player, youtube...etc. Then quite randomly they would lose sound in the right earphone and never work again on that side in any device. That's 4 sets of headphones I have gone through that have all broken in the same way. I haven't touched a damned thing!
Do you have your earphones in your pocket? Maybe the cable just breaks. Had this a couple of times.

The stock earphones cost maybe $2 to manufacture. I think that might have a lot more to do with it than the phone itself.

Yes. That is a factor I have taken into account. But the headphones have always been wrapped neatly and never bent. It's strange how it only seems to lose audio on the RIGHT side earphone though.

Have used earphones of great quality, costing much more than that. And the same thing has happened.
Are u using the headphones for a lot of things? ( I mean not just your phone) If that is the case, try using the headphones ONLY with your phone and laptop, i've had some problems before like this when i plugged my headphones to my friend's phone and those mini tv things on the bus.

ALL headphones I had were only ever used for the phone! I have great headphones for laptop so the phone ones were never needed.
Then there may indeed be a problem with your phone, maybe it short-circuits or something, you can try s2 nuke from hawkerpaul: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100558
If this doesn't solve the problem,it's probably hardware and there is nothing you can do, give it to a samsung center.
Don't wait anymore
After going through the OP and ALL the replies, I just want to second the opinion that it is indeed a hardware problem specific to your device only.. So try not to put the fifth pair of headphones in, just visit your nearest Samsung service centre and I am sure they will know how to go about your problem..
I have the Sony noise cancelling earbuds MDR-NC31EM that came bundled with my Z2. Yesterday the right side went dead and when I jiggle the plug at the connection to the phone it comes on and off as if there is a broken wire inside.
The only problem is that they only do this with my Z2. I've tried to get them to do the same thing on 3 other devices and they work fine. I have also tried 3 other sets of headphones in my Z2, thinking it may be the phones headphone jack and they worked perfectly.
I'm confused as to what's going on. Any thoughts?

i think its a manufacturing issue, it sounds like some of the connector rings are loose
if its bugging you, you can contact sony customer support as all Xperia Devices come with a 2 year warrenty, your problem should be covered as it is a problem other people have had from brand new phones
