The headphones I used with my previous cellphone (it was a Defy) doesn't seem to work with Play. I did some search around and all I can find is Sony staff saying that some accessories might be incompatible. Is there any way to make those headphones work?
EDIT: Didn't think headphone would be an issue before I bought Xperia Play, and I had this headphone tested on other cellphones, worked normal.
Even I had the same problem when I was trying my friend's Defy head phones..

Did you try using the adapter that came with the phone?
I just plugged that 3.5mm headphone Jack in my phone ..what connector are you talking about?

Sony Ericsson includes a 3rd party headphone adapter with the phone. If you got the phone off eBay or somewhere, you probably never realized it came with an adapter. At least, the Verizon phone came with the adapter.
I bought mine from a store (it was in the original box) but there is no adapter in the box... I have the GSM version. I want an adapter too :/

I got my phone off MercadoLivre (eBay for BR) and it did not come with an adapter. If I plug it half in it works but it does not hold itself there, and if I plug it all the way in I get the "accessory not compatible" or the sound gets really weird. If someone knows where I can get that adapter you would save me a lot of trouble.
EDIT: With my R800i all that came was a headphone that seems to be pretty similar to the ones I use, the only difference is that the one that came with the cellphone seems to be a little taller and the three rings from my phone does not match in height from the ones that came with the cellphone.
EDIT2: Somehow I got it fixed. My headphones have a little button (don't know its function). Looked on another post on how to make it work with Dre headphones and apparently if you keep that button pressed it works. Tried on mine and it worked too. Now I have got to find a way to make it get stuck inside. Thanks for the replies.

my sound when playing anything, or even adjusting the sound, it only comes out of the right ear, whats up with that? with XDA II it came out of both..., BUT the default earbuds that O2 gave me work fine, sound comes out of both ears, but when I use my converter I used on my old O2 XDA II, it wont work right... I use the converter because my ears don't work well with earbuds, I've tried different headsets on the converter, it must be the converter... any ideas? but I also bought and tried a different converter, got the same result. can I get a new one that I know works or somethin guys?
Wiggle the connector
Hi had this problem also, Just pull the connector a little bit out of its socket, very dodgy, but it works. I bought like 3 adaptors, until I figured this out lol.
Let me know how u go.
works great thank you so much
no prob
no problem, glad to be of service
Hey guys I was stalking amazon for a nice wireless solution for my car
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470939291&pf_rd_i=507846
anyone use one? I tried the FIFO with my sony head unit no dice. It reads the ipod alittle different than other manufacturers
I think that adapter would work perfectly as long as you have the appropriate input. But a side of me can't help but want to direct you to something I posted in a different thread. I know a lot of people don't mind spending money on things as long as they work, but hey, might as well share, right?

$80 is WAY too much for this. You can accomplish the same thing with a $20 BT3030 adapter, or any headphone adapter.
Here's a tip:
Grab one of these and one of these, and you'll never know the difference.

I just used that as an example as how cheap you can go. Personally, I'm making a cable that does both.
If you want one that charges and plays at the same time out of the box, try this for 20 bucks:
http://cgi.ebay.com/New-Jabra-BT303...uetooth_Wireless_Products&hash=item4aa3833d38
It's the Jabra BT3030. One end is the audio output (which plugs into your audio input) and the mini USB port is on the other for charging.

What I think I forgot to add was, any bluetooth receiver with an audio output will work for you. Even (especially) the ones that are made for headphones. They usually just have an amp built into them, so if you leave it at one setting, it will function the same as the one you linked to. The point I was basically trying to make was, the headphone adapters are usually much cheaper that ones "made" for a car.
the only problem i see with any bluetooth adapter, is the need to charge it. I ended up taking my Sony CDX-GT320 out, and putting in a new Sony BT-2800. Only tried it for 10 minutes tonight, but I LOVE IT. No adapters, nothing, it's all built in. I took the FIPO adapter and a ipod cable, tried to see if the kenwoods would play it, no dice however the Kenwoods did at least power up the blue light and I could get it to sync with my phone.

Did you make sure to turn the volume up on the phone. Volume control when connected via A2DP is controlled by the phone. My evo is always set to mute when I connect it to my FIPO, aside from that it works awesomely.
Naw on my Sony deck would just read no device when paired with the fipo

Hey XDA,
I bought my Desire HD online from the Australian Vodafone store, since doing so I have rooted it (and lost the original image). Recently I have had issues with headphones on the phone, the right channel cuts in and out reguarly and the left channel doesn't get anything through it.
Is my best chance trying to find a stock Desire HD image online somewhere and sending back, or can someone suggest something else?
Also worth noting, I bought a new set of headphones today to test and they had the same issues.
Have tested with cm7 and rchmix
Cheers,
priorax.
I had a similar issue, check the headphone port for pocket fluff, i know it sounds daft but it worked for me. Use an unfolded paperclip to remove any fluff / lint that's in there.
Hope that sorts it out!
If you aren't using stock headphones, try Headset Blocker;
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.idunnolol.headsetblocker
If they're original, maybe an issue with the socket or board = warranty. In this case have a search around for returning phone to stock branded, removing S-off etc. I think you need to dig out the gold card

Haven't used stock headphones at all. Shall try headset blocker.
I saw a minor improvement with headset blocker, however if I so much as touch the male part of the headphone connector, it cuts out one channel.
No one uploads stock images by any chance, do they?
Headset Blocker will not help your issue. It has nothing to do with your problem. Sounds like you have pocket lint in your plug or your plug is coming loose off of the motherboard. Or...... have you tried another set of headphones as yours may have breaks in the wires?

I have tried so far:
Sony (can't remembr model number)
Cheap Phillips ones I bought from the supermarket for testing
Plantronics Gamecom 367
Plantronics Gamecom 377
3 seperate 3.5mm cables going to a headphone amp with the Sony's as output
The Phillips were DOA.
Every other alternative had this issue.
After testing each set on my phone, I tried them on my laptop, and they worked fine (except for the Phillips, this was about 20 minutes after buying, so I'm claiming DOA).
Seems you've tried everything except original HTC, so apart from that,.....
Warranty or repair. Have a search of the forums and google for return to branded stock firmware.

Hey all, just bought the above, mainly for my iPod touch. But would love to use them on my xplay as well.
However when I insert them it just says accessory not supported and doesn't even play the sound through them. Any way to even just get them working as headphones without the buttons?
Thanks

you could try buying a headphone adapter it could possibly work but to be honest without re wiring them no they wont work.
I was wondering if anyone else is having the same problem as me. Whenever I connect my phone to the bmw via Aux it instantly creates a loud static/screeching noise. I tried disconnecting the phone charger and anything else that's near the Aux port but it didn't help. Bmw even changed the Aux port in the car but it didn't help. I tried the exact same cable in my Honda and it doesn't make the noise but in the bmw it does. Has anyone else had the same problem with Aux in the car? I can't even narrow it down at first i thought it was the car but that's not the case because a different phone doesn't make the noise. Then I thought it was my phone but in a different car it doesn't make the noise. And it's not the cable because I tried the same cable in the different cars and it worked fine in one and not the bmw.

Maybe you should try a shielded aux cable with gold plated jacks, I`ve had these problems before but this should solve it.
Hey i was wondering if you managed to fix the problem.. same thing is happening with my phone and went through the same things too (also a bmw)
HTC One M8 Aux Noise
Just seen your message regarding the htc one m8 and your e92 aux issue. Did you manage to solve it with a different cable? I tried another htc one m8, in another e92 with the normal aux cable but it was still an issue with the feedback/screeching noise (its bloody awful). Called HTC and they couldnt understand what was going on either so just discounted and blamed the cable or the car. I have a HTC one X (previous phone) and there was no issue with that and I am tempted to just use that as a mp3 player if there is no resolution. If you havnt tried a shielded cable let me know as I might borrow one from a friend to save you buying one.

hey that would be great if you could try that. i stopped using the aux port and now just use the usb cable with the phone. my entire music collection shows up on the i drive so that's nice but sometimes i still want to play spotify so if a shielded cable works then i'll buy one too. thanks.
lol how did you know it was a e92?

nope, have not been able to solve the issue. I saved my music collection to the sd card (before i was just streaming from google play or spotify) and now it shows up on the I-drive when i connect with the usb cable. it'd be nice to get the aux issue figured out so i can stream spotify when there's new music I haven't put on my phone yet
Solved!
Hi Guys,
Solved!! It is so nice to have 1 source of tracks again and not have that awful noise!!
I purchased this:
(link will not display as I am a "new" user!)
Search amazon for:
"Kensington Noise Reducing CarAudio Cable"
Which is currently priced at £7.95
And the noise was gone! Its blatantly obvious that it is a problem with the phone but I guess HTC will never admit anything. I tried 2 different HTC One M8's in my car and both had the same issue. I tried my phone in my Dad's E92 and it was the same (unplugged his iphone to test which played fine).
At £7.95 its worth the investment.

Hey I also bought a new cable from monoprice. It's the flat audio cable and was cheap too, $3 so I bought 2. No more screeching noise in the bmw

Just ordered a ground loop isolator for my E92 as well. This has been driving me crazy.
Hopefully it works. Thanks for a possible solution.
Just read a post about the problem being related to the htc m8 having ground as well as the car stereo. The guy was suggesting something called a galvanic separator? I just ordered the Kensington cable, fingers crossed. M8 and bmw f11 here

I bought this from Amazon, my problems are all gone. A new problem is the two wires needed, one to the aux jack, one to the cigarette charger. I can live with that. I guess I could open up the console and hide them if I could be bothered http://www.amazon.co.uk/Aukey-Bluetooth-Hands-free-Adjustment-BR-C3/dp/B00RJUMVKG
