Hi guys,
Has anyone else been able to output music via an aux cable?
I've tried 2 different cables which work with other phones and had no luck!
Also, an in car charger(cigarette lighter > mini usb) doesnt work either - again, works for other phones?!
Any help would be appreciated!

Same problem here. Bought 2 aux cable no sound when I use my Z2 but other phone works. My thoughts is about the Z2 Waterproof thingy just a guess. So if anyone found a fix on this let us know.
Thanks!
I have no issue with AUX. maybe something has to do with the car?

Hi guys,
I'm actually having the same problem with you. I have tried different cables and cigarette lighter adapters on different cars.
I can confirm that neither charging nor aux cable works for me on the following cars: Mercedes C180, Renault Clio, Honda CRV, Ford Focus.
However, both the aux and charging magically worked on a Land Rover Defender (1973), connected to a mediocre Pioneer player. Also I do get a tiny bit of charge from the Merc's USB player port, probably for powering usb memory sticks, or players. But it is so slow it just slows the battery depleting rather than charging (better than nothing on a very long road trip I suppose, but I worry that it might hurt the battery in the long run)
I also do not get any music, if I use anything else than Sony's Walkman app when connected via Bluetooth. So i suspect this might be a software problem (perhaps to do with "throw" ?)
Anybody found a solution to these problems? Do any of you guys run the Z2 with a custom rom? if so, which one? because I'm thinking about installing a custom rom to see if that will help?
Also working fine for me. I use it daily with Viper 4 Android sound mod on stock and stock based Roms. D6503

Hi guys,
I hate to resurrect such an old topic. I don't know if any of the other people are still using their Z2, or moved on to another device. I've recently had to replace my 3.5mm jack because it died on me. Would not work with headphones, let alone an aux cable on a car. Turns out, a replaced 3.5mm jack fixed the problem for me. So unfortunately, it is highly likely that we're having a hardware issue (something perhaps you guys can get checked out through Sony).
I have no updates on the 12V charging issue. My phone charges all ok up until it hits %30-50 (depending on how many amps the 12V charger is), than it acts as if there is a loose contact.
I hope this helps some of you people.

So I just purchased this handy little adapter which takes the USB port on the bottom of the G1 and turns it into a USB Mini jack and a 3.5 MM headphone jack. Why go to all this trouble? So I can charge AND play music at the same time
I bought this little piece of wonder off of Amazon for $6 including shipping, and it arrived in 3 business days. I'm really glad I bought it! Here's the review I posted on Amazon:
This is truly a neat little device. I often want to play music in my room over my T-Mobile G1, and it's a battle of charge versus play. I have to make sure that if I do play music, I'll have time afterwords to charge back up. Not the case anymore! I'm able to play music and charge my phone at the same time.
The adapter is very compact for what it does; it looks much bigger in the pictures than it actually is. It's about the size of a quarter, and a little longer width-wise. Sound quality is great; compared to the stock adapter that comes with the G1, I found that bass frequencies are carried much more better and with a little more "oompf". I found a lot more power for my system, and it works great.
The build quality is what you would expect; plastic build with very solid adapter ports. I don't expect it to break at all. The phone charges at the same rate of speed as normal, even with playing music. The port that plugs into the phone is the proprietary port that the G1 has, and the "out" USB port is your typical mini-USB port.
Overall, it's a great product, and a must have for all G1 users!

I definitely would recommend this to just about everyone, and wanted to know what everyone else's experience is with this product!
i just ordered this...i was tired of having to take out my headphones when i wanna charge my phone
I have the 3 in one charger but what i really need is something just like this but i need to have each port n an opposite side. Why you ask?
I have a Moto p790 charger and i would like to be able to have that plugged in while i have my headphones in. now that would be useful.
kind of like this one but smaller.

funny, mine came with that one.
I bought one that lets me charge/audio out/headphones in/usb/whatever made by HTC off ebay.
Removed ebay link since amazon has good price right now
I bought one but I have a sort of huge problem. When using it audio only goes to my right earphone. Can anyone else confirm this? I'm using jacxhero so that might be way.

Did you try switching earbuds? Haha sounds simple...but I have this really bad luck with audio devices, that eventually everyone I have I break the soldering points that connect the jack to the circuit board, and I always loose an ear of sound. It's just odd...but that could be it as well.

I bought this and it works with every rom I've tried. Cyanogen, JAC, JF.
I also needed an extension so I could hard wire my charger and line in behind my car dash with only one lead showing and the HTC adaptor has about an inch of cable between the EXTUSB and the adaptor itself. I hunted high and low but could only find one company who could do it and it were these guys.

I want one of these but it's much too thick for what I wanted it for (I only want music), Isn't there one that has only mini USB to 3.5 mm? I thought I had seen one a while ago.
I got one made by HTC when I got my Wing a couple years ago. It works great on my G1 and my MT. It is super handy to have it you listen to a lot of music
got a link where I could get one?
def. getting this tonight
Tried this on a friends G1 (stock T-mobile firmware lastest updates) and it does not come up with a headset icon like it does on my touchdiamond2. Does this mean it does not work or is the headset icon just for when you have a microphone attached?
i've noticed on the HTC one that the 3.5mm headset jack doesnt work. you need to use the adapter cable that came with the phone and plug it into the headphone port on the htc adapter.

I have an HTC Fuze and it came with this little Gem. It works on my G1 and MyTouch without issue. I love this thing! You can find them on eBay for around $7.00 USD
microphone?
When using this on a G1, if you plug a headset with microphone into the 3.5mm jack, does the microphone work on calls? I've read mixed reviews about this on Amazon and wondering if anyone has had experiences? Thanks,
I just got an HTC YC A300 today and it's working brilliantly!
It's 4-in-1, with extUSB headset plug, 2,5mm (mic+headphone), 3,5mm and extUSB power and data.
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.
Hi can anyone help?
When i connect my Galaxy S3 to my car stereo via ordinary 3.5 jack plug, the sound is generally fine but as soon as the cable is moved even slightly, the sound cuts out and is very 'on/off'. The cable has to be left EXACTLY in the same position otherwise the sound output is very unreliable! Ive tried the connections at both ends and these appear fine. Its happened before with older phones but I didn't expect it with a brand new Galaxy S3. Sounds stupid but i wondered if it was the quality of the cable itself. So if its not the connections i can't understand what the problem could be. If anyone can help or needs more information please reply to this post.
Thanks

I have had 3 or 4 cables over only 2 phones but this doesn't seem to have solved the problem. These are the £1.50 or so variety from Amazon. Should I look for something better quality or should these type generally be ok? Like I said im 90% sure its not the connections.
i never plug in any headphones before since i bought my z2 but now when i plug the sony earphones in, the normal type one.
It doesnt detect and its not working?
did i miss something here?
i already checked other under the output option.
i hope its not broken :l
Ps : i already tried mutiple headphones ,rebooting the phone, doesnt work as well.
I have the same problem since i updated to 402! Before i updated it worked fine!

Z2 Not detecting headset.
Hi to all.. this is my experience.
I have updated to latest Australian Generic SW,,, when I encounter the same problem... Very weird...
Works intermittent with Monster Inspiration in ear, with remote control, meaning that if I unplug them it will stop working, then plug them back in and no go,,,, uhmmmm..
What worked for me was: Plug them in then if not detected hit power button and hold for 3 secs,, let it go and voila..!!!,,
Problem relates to "Smart Connect", I guess that a sw upgrade will correct this problem as well as low volume problem....
Hope it works for you guys...
Comparability issues with TRRS
I think The problem is comparability issues with TRRS earphones
I discovered my Z2 only responds to the TRS connector, but doesn't respond to TRRS.
I'm trying to use my Samsung earphones on my z2 but the music is playing through the earphones and the phone at the same time, but they work perfectly on any other phone, any suggestions please

Thanks, dude ... it totally cleared the same problem i got on my Z2. I'm gonna try the splitter for convert the TRRS to TRS.
Hello all! I had a problem with headphonejack also, tried all the methods i found on the internetz and nothing was helping. I allmost send my phone to a repair center but started digging hedphonejack with a toothpick this morning. And there it was, this large clump of pocketfuzz that came out of it. Tried headphones again and everything worked perfectly. So guys make sure you dont have any garbage on the jack before sending your phone to repaircenter
Thank you so much! Worked for me after trying everything else!

If I meet you IRL I owe you a beer
Hello there.
Today I've noticed that the left speaker of my headphones doesn't work when I plug them to my Mini Pro. I moved from CM10.2 to SJB 8.0 and found this out while testing stuff out. It's been some time since I've used my phone as a music player last time, but I never had any problems like this. Reverting to CM didn't help either.
I can't really find out whether this is a hardware or software issue. I think connector isn't dirty, wiggling the plug doesnt make any difference. Is there anything more I can try, besides flashing stock firmware? Did anybody have a similar problem?
EDIT: I've connected my PC to the phone as a BT headset, both channels work fine there.
What headphone do you own? Most new headphones with mic won't work correctly on 2011 xperia. Those new headphones use CTIA, our phone uses OMTP. Long story short, you can only use stock headset or the ones without mic. You could buy OMTP to CTIA converter though. Look up on eBay.

I use only standard stereo headsets, namely Creative Aurvana Live and Creative EP630.
They looked compatible to me. Maybe cleaning phone jack with alcohol would help, I don't know. Sorry

Thanks for your input either way. I have tried cleaning the jack with isopropyl alcohol, and also just in case left the phone without battery for some time (because why not).
The strange thing about this is I'm getting absolutely no sound whatsoever on the left channel, while the right one works like a charm. If i'd get any noise while moving the jack around, it would be pretty obvious sign of bad soldering, and therefore a HW problem.
I still struggle with this problem. I have tried downgrading software to stock GB, didn't help. I've took it to some service centre, the folks there have replaced the jack, but it didn't help either. I wonder if i should pump any more money into this.
