MDR10R Headset not being detected correctly - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey All,
I have pair of Sony MDR10R headphones (with mic and remote) that I have been using with a Z1s and Z for several months. Since I have gotten my Z2 I am noticing that the device is being detected as a headphone only device and as a result the mic and remote button do not work. The behavior is inconsistent, but about 90% of the time it is detecting it as headphone only.
Most other headsets with Mic work fine and detect correctly except for these. I have tried a couple different pairs of Sony headphones with remotes and see the same type of inconsistent behavior. As a result I never know how the unit is going to function when I plug in the headphones. I'm just not sure as result if this is a software issue or a problem with the headphone port.
Has anybody seen any similar behavior ?
Below are some screen shots of what I see in the notification tray:

Sony supplies some odd mics with their headphones, I have a pair of MDR-1R (awesome headphones btw) but their mics don't work with any android handset

In Ear hands free?

Hi,
I currently have the problem of my handsfree cable from the G1 being too long. This is because I am plugging in my own earphones into the long mini usb cable with headphone jack and the result is a massivly long cable.
I don't like the earphones which come with the phone. I prefer to use In ear earphones.
Does anyone know of any HTC Handsfree kits which come with in ear earphones? Incase anyone doesn't know what I'm talking about (they could be called something different in the US) In Ear Earphones look like this:

I am aware that there are short Mini USB to Headphone Jack adapters but I would prefer something with a microphone also.
However, I am very interested in one of these:

But have been told the G1 won't currently support them? Is there no patch or something which will allow you to wirelessly stream music via bluetooth from the phone?
We are all waiting on google to finish up the bluetooth specs. Currently the G1 only supports the headset and handsfree profiles. A2DP and the others are comming, hopefully soon.

We've just tested this headset with San Francisco, the quality with this in-ear earphones are generally better than the original ones (but not as good as the one bundled from Galaxy S), answering button is working properly too.

External Mic (for concert/loud recording)

LG Optimus G Internal mic test with loud environnement.

Headphone mic: http://youtu.be/vuQpVPv9yz0
External mic with Adaptator: http://youtu.be/fUcZYjBOJ7o
I have done several tests with my old Galaxy S here:

Everything still apply with the LGOG.
So, basicaly, what it tells us is that you can use an external microphone with an adaptator.
For the adaptator, you can make one yourself,
find the Philips DVDP01 like this one and use only the adapter

Or use the 3.5mm trrs to 3 RCA that can be used for portable DVD player, then use an adaptater to go from RCA to whatever you need.
What this means, also, is that you can use the "line in" of the 4 connector to plug whatever you want for your video.
Il most likely make the adapter with the needed connector in the current weeks, I'll keep you posted on the "How To"

[Q] Windows 8/Note 2 Bluetooth connection trouble?

Okay so I know with Bluetooth and can be a LARGE variety of issues going on with connection. But I do not believe it is <Connection> problems that I'm talking about/having issues with.
Anyways, I have a Qualcomm Atheros AR3011 Bluetooth 3.0 dongle in the back of my computer.
When I go to pair my phone to the computer, it works perfectly. (See screenshot below...)

"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
So as you can see, it is paired, and in Device Manager it shows, along with the adapter, and my S160 headset (Which is disconnected.)
Now my problem being is when I go to Devices and Printers in Control Panel, I see my phone (SCH-i650) But all I see are these options when right clicked...
Now I know my adapter supports Music Streaming, AND headset support etc. etc. because it worked back in Windows 7... Is there any way of getting this support back??? And/Or does anyone know perhaps as to why I am not getting the options for listening to phones audio etc...?
And would anyone be willing to help me figure this out/trouble shoot it? I have no idea where to start.
I would also like to know if it's due to my phone or not.
This is kind of like the options that I would like to see:
On another note, I just tried using the "Send file/Receive file" options, which work perfectly fine... So where is the listen to audio and make phone call options?

Change Selected Microphone from A Software?

Hello Guys,
My friend got a samsung s3 9300 and his mic for "phone calls" is not working. But, we can record voice which means there is another mic (next to speaker )
Is there a way to activate second mic (which used for voice record) as main ?
Kind Regards.

Firstly, make sure the hole isn't clogged and nothing at all is stuck in there.
If you are running a stock firmware you can try flashing the firmware again to see if that solves anything.
If you are using a custom rom you might want to flash a stock firmware and test the mic again. Some custom kernels can cause the mic and earpiece to stop working as they should.
If a fresh stock firmware doesn't solve it then you would have to have the mic replaced as there is no way to switch them with software. Even if you could they are directional microphones, which means they only pick up sound from the direction they're facing. Your voice will be too feint in calls, especially outdoors.
