[Q] Problem with headphones ? - Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello friends,
I recently bought an Xperia Z2 Tablet wich I love but there are sound issues I think :
When I plug my Sony headphones + mic everything works great. But when I plug in others headsets with mic such as Xiaomi Piston they are not recognised and sound still comes out from the speakers. (Everything is fine on my computer & Xperia Z then it is not a headphone problem).
I read it had been fixed on a previous update by Sony but I'm on the last one possible : 17.1.1.A.0.402 and it is still buggy.
Is that normal/a known bug ?
Thank you !

I have never experienced problems with headphones, it must be something to do with the new ac jacks, I had an xperia s three years ago with a similar problem, I have to either hold vol up or vol down while connecting the headphone for it to be recognised.... Maybe your solution is something similar

I have tried more headphones with mic & they are now working, even the previous ones which did not are now all ok. But Xiaomi headphones are still not playing the music, may be it will come someday...
I tried to plug with the volume key as you said but nothing happened. Thanks for the reply.
For the ones with the same problem : I used a bit soundabout (find it on play store), may be it triggered something I don't know...

One last thing which I have heard about is plug in your headphones then hold down the power button for a few secs worth a try

Tried it but it's done nothing
That's fine I'll let it just the way it is & plug other headphones instead, thanks again for your help !

For what it's worth, I'm also experiencing problems with this audio jack unique to the noise cancelling headset, the sound will only come from the left ear bud unless you wiggle the headphones inside the audio jack.
I know it's not the same issue you're experiencing but I defiantly think the 5 pin 3.5mm audio jack is to blame.

[Q] 3.5" Headphones

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.

[Q] Xperia and iPone 4 headset. Problem

I apologize for my English. Translated from Google.
Tell me how to solve small problem. The essence is as follows:
Presented with a headset on the iPhone 4, while listening to music and watching videos, sound is muffled. If you press and hold (!), The Play button on the headset the sound is normal. In another Nexus One, and he has them working properly. In what may be the problem? How to decide? Interestingly, once already tested the sound quality of these headphones, and it was not.
http://androidforums.com/sony-erics...0-headset-issue-problem-norm.html#post2675162
It's the way it is made.
iPhone is not built the same way the x10 headphone jack is
But I had included, works fine.
Maybe you didn't read what I posted.
Simple answer for the issue. Sony does things their way, while everyone else caters to the iPhone industry.
Headphones w/ mics have a male plug have 4 pins.....both Sony and iPhone, the first 2 pins are the same, but the 2nd two are different.
Pressing the answer button on the headset connects rings 3 & 4 on both headsets. (Which, in effect is the same as a listening only headset.)
Either use headphones without a mic (for music) or use a bluetooth headset (for phone) or use the Sony headset that came with the phone or visit the Sony store.

I read your message. And I can not understand why, then, to work? May be the case even in the firmware? Now is not the official 2.2.1
I heard that it happens only on headphones with mic, so I just taped the answer button on controller and they work fine You can also try some adapters from ebay or some similar pages...

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

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!

I had the problem and this worked, I thought I'd have to get my z2 to service repairman to replace the jack...
This worked even though flashing different rom / kernel did not!

Sony Xperia z2 problem with headphones

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.

Phone won't recognize my headphone's mic and buttons (volume-play music)

Hi!
I'm having some strange issues reggarding the use of headphones.
Recently I bough a pair of Razer Hammerhead pro v2 headphones from a retailer. They are brand new, and work just fine in other cellphones (Motorola or LG) and even my computer.
But, as it turns out, they do not work properly on my phone.
Let me elaborarte: I already have a pair of Philips headphones with a dedicated play/stop music button and microphone, and they work just fine with the cellphone. But, whenever I plug my new headphones on the phone, the "headphones with mic" icon shows once on my notification screen and then just banishes, leaving me with an icon that looks like a pair of "regular headphones", not recognizing the mic. or buttons.
I've read some people online experiencing the same issue as me. And, even though you can ACTUALLY hear a conversation or music with the headphones, the mic. and buttons just don't work. Is almost as if they were non existent to the phone.
I've already tried different apps that allow you to mock you cellphone to bypass this issue, but they don't work.
Any suggestions?

AGREE. Also, if you can check that if you keep pressing the handsfree jack down, the mic works???

Yeaj, I tried that already but it doesnt work. And it wont work because I think that this is a MIUI related problem.
Any suggestions?
My mic works if I keep the handsfree jack at a certain position or keep pressing it. May be it's a hardware problem or handsfree problem. Who knows!!!
Last reply.
My issue is SOLVED.
Turns out there was dust settled down in the jack.
SOLUTION: Take an ear bud, dip it in petrol and clean the headphone jack with it.
Thanks for your thread as it helped me in getting to the root cause of the problem :good:

I've already tried that one, and had no ressult. I cleaned it as soon as I got the problem, but it keeps happening
So for me, the problem is still ongoing
As I stated before, I can hear my headphones, but both mic. And buttons don't work.
Try using a different recording app and or music player, see if that helps.
