As for Sony 2011 Android phones, the 3.5mm is not compatible with almost all normal 3.5mm headset (headset, not headphone, headphone works fine while most headset can't be recognized - when it can't be recognized, it cannot be used for phone calls nor listening music) I can only manage to work with the in-box head set. Even Sony's own headset does not work
So has the Xperia S fixed this issue?

Yes, the Xperia S uses the same 3.5 as the iPhone (and thus most headsets).

I am sorry, but I barely understand your problem. Sony Ericsson phones, so up to 2011 (Arc, Arc S, Ray, Play, Neo, X10, Mini Pro, etc.) use 3.5mm jack using OMTP standard. New Xperia line from 2012 (Sony branded phones - Xperia S, P and U) use CTIA standard of 3.5mm jack (same as iPhone). So headset (with mic) from 2011 phone won't fully work with Sony Xperia from 2012, and headset from Sony Xperia S (2012) won't fully work on phone from 2011.
By fully work I mean, you possibly won't be able to use button to redial, or skip tracks in media player, possibly problems with sound as well. So there is no issue Sony has to fix.

Oh so I don't understand Sony decision about using a different standard on 2011 devices. Now I stick with the headset comes in the box for my ray, or use bluetooth. I hope I can use my beats headset after the ICS upgrade for my ray.

That was an Ericsson decision I think - Sony themselves made CTIA headsets for the iDevices.
I do not think your beats headset will work on the Ray, as I *believe* it's hardware, not software. Otherwise, anyone with a custom ROM on the SE phones could have used the CTIA headsets.
Just received my Xperia play. The sound seems abnormal, muffled, no bass at all. Mine didn't come with earphones. Tried several earphones and headphones but saw no difference. What might be the problem?
I'm able to use all the headset functions from my HTC Desire Z headset (2010) on my Xperia P (2012)
I haven't tried on any 2011 devices though.
Hi Buddies,
I have strange headset problem like this;
when i use my sgs 2 headset with mic it gives bad sound quality and mic is not working well also it is not recognized by the phone however when i use regular 3.5 mm headphone ( sony) it gives great sound. i tried my headphone at my bro's xperia neo phone and mic and headphone is working great. so what is the problem? any suggestion?
Good day dear friends!
I bought Great headphones i.Valux Hybrid Dynamic+Balanced Armature Dual-Driver HiFi IEMS Headphone Earphone with Inline Microphone & Remote Earbud Headset
They sound really cool. But there was a problem. They are available with built-mikroofon knoopkoy. All smartphones with android button works properly. But by connecting them to my Sonya button instead of working as expected (one press - answer a call, press the two - switch tracks), a button to increase the volume.
On the forums of our country told me that this feature Jack smartphones Sony. Tell me how to solve this problem. Maybe there is an adapter with a standard jack to jack Sony?
Another observed fact. When you connect these headphones noticeable high-quiet noise ............
Maybe there are some 3.5 adapter for Sony Jack? If there is then let the link.
Maybe Sony not support that type of 3,5 mm jack.Adapter 3,5 to 3,5 mm exist,i have no link,but i saw somewhere on the net.
having a lot of distortions on my xperia m4 when i am making a call. is my earphone faulty ?
did a diagnostic test, there was some distortion.

Hi.
I have one problem and will be grateful if anyone can help me.
I own Sony STM10 stereo microphone, but I cannot use it on my XA1. It cant be activated via sound/accessories menu. There are only headphone models listed. And respectively - the microphone doesn't work in your audio recorder app. I'm with the latest Android 8.0 for XA1. In theory, the microphone can work with any new Sony phone with 5 pole jack, but I cannot make it work on XA1.
Please help me to resolve that issue to n order to be able to use the STA10 microphone with my XA1 phone.
Are you sure XA1 has 5 pole socket ? I don't think so.
