[Q] accessory not supported? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
im using an r800i, and whenever i go to plug in new earphones, mostly the ones with controls or microphone or both, it says accessory not supported and ive looked around and havnt seen much about this topic, is it possible to get an app that can fix it or change the jack port, cause this rules out quite a few good types of headphones/earphones....

It's been discussed some times, but it's not a hot topic. The issue comes because of the Jack plug of the Xperia Play not following a conventional standard. If you try to use the headphones which come with the play in other devices, chances are that the sound will be horrible.

so if i was to purchase a new jack for it and solder it in it would perhaps work?

It... could, but that is certainly beyond my knowledge.

Your phone should have come with an adapter, which will make other headphones compatible. If it didn't, you can find those adapters through different sources, such as eBay.

+1, Need this headphone adapter since I could use my Beats or other headphones because of it never being supported by the Play

I'm also curious about switching the jack out. I am about to take my play apart and rebuild it with some custom parts, and if it is at all possible to switch out the jack, or even put in some kind of micro adapter, I would. I've been searching the web for a few hours now with no success, so any help would be appreciated.

it has mic in same connector . Nearly all phones have this connector .

Dude, dont be a dumbass. If you delete the file you wont get notification of "Headphones not supported ..Blah blah"
and still it wont support the headphones/earphones

i know this too well, this could be a quick fix

Not plugging it in all the way might help, but only if you have the xperia play headphone adapter

Bump...
My 'Play was on Android 4.0.3 using the NXT Gaming ROM, and I never received this message, and I could easily play the music through my earphones (they have a mic-in and a controller, pretty expensive earphones..).
Now that I've reverted back to the stock ROM using Sony's Emma, I am now getting this message again.
This support seems to rely heavily on the ROM/Kernel, NOT the hardware!
Is there a way to get around this without having to upgrade back to Android 4.0.3 again?
I don't use my device as a phone anymore, but as a portable emulator for GameBoy games (it works extremely well doing this) and MyBoy (emulator) has a bug with Android 4.0.3 where the game doesn't write to the SD card when saving.

Since my earphones decided to go on an adventure to the washing machine, I have replaced them with 3 different earphones - every one of them working like a charm. I only had problem with my Beats on my stock rom, but after ICS they were working fine too.

[Q] Micro USB to HDMI does it work on XPlay

I have updated to 2.3.4 and i was in the service menu (press *#*#7378423#*#* ) and it has an option to turn on/off HDMI and also it gives a few setting to mess around with.
So my question is has anybody tried this? or if you have a Micro USB to HDMI cable hanging around can you try it and see if it works.

there is a HDMI port just below the left touchpad, but they concealed it and marketed it as no-HDMI device to avoid further competition with the Arc.. only expo PLAYs have the HDMI port.. besides, if you added HDMI to the Play, it would be the all-around phone overshadowing the arc, which i suppose, is marketing strategy at its best..

Have you torn up your Play to back this up? Or is it that they add this port for a limited batch of demo units and developers?

In which sense is asking for proof being a prick? You need not to tear up your Play yourself, you can show us someone else doing it with his own retail model.
And about why there is an HDMI menu under that code, given that the whole 2011 Xperia range comes with the same architecture, it would be fully unsurprising to find that menu in Xperia Ray, mini, Mango (mini pro), and Active, which are the phones without HDMI capability.
So Sony Ericsson is hiding HDMI and an FM Radio from us? I have seen the FM Radio app and tried to install it, but it failed.
tones get easily changed by the wind pretty fast, as always..

The FM-Radio app won't ever work as it's disabled at hardware level, though it supports it. You'll need some dev to enable it, prob in a kernel, but don't think it's high on the to do dev/modding list
SE should've had the HDMI on our devices at release, but they chose not to, nothing to do about that really, though it defo would've been nice with that feature

HDMI on the XPlay would've made it a 'full grown' Mobile PlayStation..
and the perfect handheld for EVERY gamer. And i mean EVERY gamer.
If we could all have dev kits. Kudos to any dev that can make that happen.
Why don't just solder your own HDMI port. If there are connections on the pcb it should be possible.

[Q] a-JAYS One+ Accessory not supported

Ok, I just bought a pair of a-JAYS One+ earphones for their "supposed" Android compatibility. Unfortunately, when I plug them in I just get "Accessory not supported".
Is there anyway to make them to work? Android won't even play any sound out of them.
whats gonig on is not with 'android' but with 'sony'... they went the extra mile in making sure their product isn't 'penetrated' by any devices other than sony brand. the phone should have came with a short adapter which clearly states it supports non-sony accessories. im still searching how to fix this on stock rom but my bootloader is unlocked (paid, thanks again jinx) and with other roms like cm7.2 the error and issue does not occur.

So it's not a hardware problem but a software problem? The phone could actually support it if it wasn't for Sony?
I tried these headphones on CM 7.2.0 and they barely worked. In fact they only worked when you pressed the mic button, I think they are incompatible overall due to Sony having a different voltage on their headset jack

they dont work because they have a attachment for controlling the phone which pretty much rules them out straight away.
short story sony change the voltages to **** with 90% of headphones besides there own brand
the only headphones i can personally recommend are sennnhieser hd202 as they work perfectly for me without an adapter.
i dont even have an adapter actually so i cant try others but it seems that you need a decent pair of headphones or sony ericsson. (by decent i mean a very good make of high quality audio equipment)

Does beats works with Xperia play without adapter ?

?????
Sent from my R800i using Tapatalk 2
Depends, which Beats? ControlTalk won't work, but with the Solos you get 2 cables. One works.
Look in the forum, as far as I remember this has been posted before but I can't find the post.
Now, to answer you, the short answer is not. And to clarify here's why:
SonyEricsson phones use a (jack) standard called OMTP (also does Nokia), while Sony phones (Xperia P, S, U, etc), Apple and almost every other company uses CTIA.
This obviously means that the headphones won't work, but...
The only difference between those two are the connection layout:
CTIA:
T-Left Audio
R1-Right Audio
R2-Ground
S-Mic
OMTP:
T-Audio Left
R1-Audio Right
R2-Mic
S-Ground
So to make them work you can buy or make an adapter that swaps R2 and S, or one that short-circuits both; the first kind will let you use the mic, volume control etc, while the other kind (a simple extension would do) won't.
Now, if you don't want to use ANY kind of adapter, not even a simple extension there's a way you can make them work:
It is supposed that once you push the central button on a headset (OMTP or CTIA, doesn't matter) what it internally does is short circuit R2 and S, so, if you manage to hold all the time the central button on your beats they should work, nevertheless the mic and so won't work either as their data goes through the S ring.
Being all that said here's an issue, even with the adapter they won't work, I'm not quite sure why, you can see my post about that issue, there I try to make work a headset like the beats on my Xperia.
I hope I helped you
I bought studio. It works.

Oh, I see... sorry for my rant, I thought that you were talking about the ControlTalk enabled ones , since every 3.5 standard TRS headphone works with almost every phone .
Would a OMTP to CTIA concerter therefore double as a CTIA to OMTP adapter, following circuit logic, making OMTP work on my iPod Nano as well as CTIA on my PLAY?

Nah mate! The hardware restrictions will not allow you, no matter what kinda software you use.
CTIA & OMTP are two different hardware standards!

Best music player app

Hello all,
I use my phone (S3) to run Pandora through my boats stereo system, I have a rather large and loud system on the boat, so I usually end up playing DJ and taking drunkin' requests at our local sandbar, so Id like to make playlists on the fly EASILY, the Ipod is not so easy with the docking method it has! Its a great time non the less....
Anyways, I usually use Pandora through the 3.5mm headphone jack as I have that option installed in my boat. I also have an Ipod on the boat, the best sounding between the 2 is the Ipod.
Question, is there any music player app for these phones that compare to the way the Ipod will sound? Is it even possible to match that? I actually think the Pandora through the 3.5mm jack sounds pretty good but I believe the Ipod is better.
I have Winamp installed, and it sounds good but if I play the same "file" song, it will sound better via Ipod.
I have a Fusion ip600 marine deck that I use, it has the Ipod dock (Inside the unit, accessible through a door) as well as the Aux which I have the 3.5mm jack hooked up to. That's all the options I have for that deck, I may in the future get the 700 series which offers a USB hookup, but for now I want to keep the 600 series I have now.
Hopefully I am explaining this good enough!
Also whats the highest class 64gig micro SD card I can put in it? Can I do the Class 10? We bought the phones in June of this year.
Thanks all.

Poweramp is widely considered to be the best audio player for Android. It has an EQ. But to be honest, the playlist creation is a bit clunky.
There is a free trial. What do you have to lose?
64gb class 10 would be fine, im using one myself.. With the sound mods that we have, the s3 is gonna sound way better than any iPod, believe me, try using viper 4 android like Perseus suggested. Also as far as music player, I like Google's play music and it has an easy way to add songs to playlists, you just search for a song and you can add it to a playlist in an instance.. Poweramp is also good but doesn't stream from play music's all-access so I use play music

Awesome, thanks for confirming the Class 10 part, I will get one of those. Im happy to hear that this phone would be better than the Ipod, because the system sounds great with the Ipod, and if this phone is better than thats awesome, just didnt want to degrade the sound in anyway after the amount of money I spent on the system. Thanks very much for your help. I will try your suggestions as well.
So, my conclusion is, I will buy and use the Bluetooth part of my deck and try the apps suggested and just pick the best that works for us. Thanks again guys for taking the time out to help. Much appreciated guys..

I wasn't aware Viper needed Root. Apologies. If you don't want to root then you can pass on Viper. I am sure there are other Mods like Mega Bass Beats or Dolby For Android.

No worries, I would love to root it if I knew I wouldn't completely screw the phone up and if it will make the music sound better than whats stock in the phone! Seems like an awesome app, I was able to look around in the app just wouldn't take to the changes I made. I will look into those other ones.
I went out and bought the bluetooth module and will install it this Friday, than Sat were taking the boat out and ill try some of the music player apps I downloaded and see which one sounds best.
Question, to the one member that said the phone would sound better than an Ipod, is that with the phone rooted and that Viper app? Or can I make it sound better with my phone not being rooted?
Thanks again all and have a Happy Thanksgiving tomorrow.

Yeah it would be with the phone rooted, but you might want to give poweramp a try, it has the best equalizer I've tried without any mods and you don't need to be rooted to use it.. I also think it has a very easy way to add music to playlists, very much the same way play music does.. Happy Thanksgiving!

I actually looked for the Poweramp last night and totally forgot that I bought that app back in the day, so I have the unlocked version of it. So thats a bonus.
Let me ask, is rooting easy to you, or I should ask, if you never knew how to do it, and you are kind of tech friendly will it be easy for someone to do? Id like to learn it if its got some good things to it. Ive re formatted computers, drives etc, so Id like to think I know a little!

I think you'll be ok rooting that's kind of where I came from.. S3 is probably one of the easiest devices to root.. If you want to try it, read up on the rooting threads that we have.. Read and reread everything because its easy to miss steps and bad things can happen when you do that.. what firmware are you currently on?

4.1.2 - I hope I got that question at least correct!!
Well, I did read some of the threads,
1- Not even sure if I was reading the correct ones, so many things that I don't understand.
2 - Now I'm really not sure if I should even try it!
3 - Saw a video "How to Root the Samsung Galaxy S III" by XDAdevelopers , boy does he make it sound like a piece of cake and to you guys I am sure it is! I even went into the video description and saw the DL links, I did the easy one which was the Odin one! Easy there! Than I went to the files that I needed and got stuck! Not sure if I should try this.
4 - Anyone in the Tampa Bay FL area willing to help?? Beers or whatever on me! lol.....
Anyways, thanks again everyone for the help, I will install the Bluetooth module in our boat this Friday and putz with the apps on my stock phone for now.
Happy Holidays everyone, stay safe and enjoy!
Haha well now that you got your custom recovery, you have to flash super user to gain root.. If you still want to root go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053 and go down to where it says "CWM / TWRP / MobileODIN installable ZIP" go to that link and download the zip from there.. After that go into recovery and flash that zip, reboot and you will be rooted

Thanks, I did DL that link you mentioned in that thread.
Now, I have a bunch of apps that I DL from the market place, IE Handcent SMS, Tide apps, Quick Pic etc, will all my programs and everything else work when I root the phone? I know, probably some real newbie questions but I have to start somewhere!
Yes I do still want to root this phone to get the best possible sound quality I can. I spent too much money on this system on our boat to listen to something that produces crappy or not so great quality of sound. Not saying this phone is like that, because I don't think it sounds "THAT" bad at all through my car stereo using the 3.5mm jack. But if I can get better, I would really like that.
Just need to get the cahooooonies to start this! :good:
I did read that if you screw it up it will get bricked, either soft or hard bricked. And I did also see a video that reverses that, so I guess if I screw it up I can reverse it without voiding the warrenty. But I have to admit, I DON'T want to brick it because to undue that looks extremely HARD! haha

I still havent done it!
We went out on the boat today and listened to my S3 via Bluetooth with my Fusion Deck. I cannot complain using the Poweramp and stock player. Sounded damn good actually.
My next question is, I am currently looking for a SD card for my S3, I want a 64 gig, but I am noticing that the 64s are called SDXC, will one of those work? I found out that mean extreme capacity (SDXC) instead of high capacity (SDHC)
Thanks!

Music playback issue

Rite, so i bought this new pair of earbuds from Audio Technica. Its a pair of ATH CKN50s.
Tried them on my Wonder and it works great. Im using Shuttle music player and it'll stop music playback once my headphones are not attached.
Funny thing is that my music stops as i moved even the slightest bit with my device but my earbuds are still intact.
This happens every time with my Wonder. I ended up having to stay still whenever i use my earbuds.
My Mini 2, Xiaomi Mi3 n my bros iP4 dont have this problem though.

Could be that the jack is damaged this time. Did you try another output device with it?
