Sony Ericsson MW600? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Was thinking of getting the MW600 as I needed a new pair of headphones, but I was wondering is it OMTP (Like the XPERIA right now) or CTIA (iPhone etc)?
If it was CTIA, it would be an alternative for me instead of waiting 25 days for one of those adapters from Hong Kong to Come, then again if I wait I can get it for 99p..

OMTP and CTIA are headset wired connector standards, like you said, CTIA for iPhone and OMTP for almost every other device.
The MW600 only works with standard 3.5mm stereo headphones, as it already haves an integrated microphone and call button. If you connect a headset (4 or more rings in the plug) it will not work, you'll get audio, but an L+R sum because of the missing ground connection as it's in the far back ring, not touched by any pin in the MW600's audio out connector. You can try connecting a CTIA headset, but it will likely not work as intended.
TL;DR> MW600 only works with standard headphones, not headsets.

[Q] 2.5 mm headphones

2.5 headset
I have an o2 XDA Atom Exec and got an o2 in-ear stereo headset with it.
That headset is now faulty, one side no longer works and i cant determine where the problem is.
Anyways, i want an in-ear headphones to use with the pda mainly to listen to audio rather than to make calls.
I tried connecting it with 3.5mm headphones with an adapter but with any movement of the adapter, the pda would automatically stop the audio and load dial the first number on the dialed list. Its very annoying.
I tried both the small stick type adapter and the wire adapter with the same result.
So now i'm after an in-ear stereo 2.5mm headset or a solution to stop it from going to the phone mode.
Any help ?
Thanks
is it work fine be4?
perhaps There is some short circuit in your headphone itself or maybe in jack port. trying use another headphone to identify the problem
oftenly headphone for mobile has 4 intersection in its jack. and common music headphone only have 3 intersection, I think use the 3 intersection jack should be fine
you can use the nokia 2.5mm headsets. they are like the OEM ones but they sound better. they both use the 3 ring jack, instead of the more standard 2 ring jack.

HTCext to 3.5mm audio adapter mic problem

Hi!
I have this for some time: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938811&pf_rd_i=507846
(Actually, I baught it in a store so I'm not sure it's excatly the same but it looks the same)
Recently, I baught this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Headphone-HTC-VIVA-exclusive-Duragadget/dp/B001LIM8F0/ref=pd_rhf_p_t_2
When I plug the old one in my HTC Touch Cruise and then stereo headphones, to it's 3.5mm jack (without microphone), I can use phone's mic and plugged headphones to talk.
When I do the same with new one I can't use phone's mic. I can hear the other side through headphones but I can't be heard.
What might be a reason for this?
And can I fix this problem somehow so I don't have to unplug headphones each time I want to talk if I'm listening to the music?
Thank you very much in advance!
P.S. FM Radio works with both adapters.
there is no std for 3.5mm mini-jack with mic included
the org spc is only audio out
some headset makers add another ring which don't interfere with the
left, right and ground connectors
but there is no std they can follow
thumb rule is if mic is not mentioned in relation with the 3.5mm adaptor
mic is not supported as they use the pure audio out mini-jack std
thumb rule 2 is if mic is mentioned but it's not the same manufactures
in both end they may not implement mic in 3.5mm the same way and it will
only work with audio out
Thank you for your quick answer but I'm not sure you understood me.
I do not use external mic.
In first case I use 3in1 adapter and my stereo headphone with 3.5mm connector without microphone.
In second case I use this simple in-line adapter and same headphones.
In first case, during call, I can hear the other side through headphones, and the other side hears me through built-in-phone microphone.
In second case, during call, I can hear the other side through headphones, but other side can't hear me.
In both cases FM radio works well. I mention this because I saw that mic and FM antenna are on the same pin in USBext (if that's important since I don't use external mic)
about fm then all it needs is an antenna connected to to it
any stereo maybe even mono connected with a wire will do
heck you can cut off the airplugs from a cable and use it for fm
normaly when one connects a headset speaker and mic on the device itself
are muted
even if it's a headset without mic so cool that your fist case works at all
This first one adapter is original HTC. It has 2.5mm, 3.5mm, USBext for data and charging and USBext for headset connectors. And unfortunately it is too big for any other use except in car (to connect to car's audio aux input) or at home (to connect to home AV reciever).
So I baught this cheap simple in-line adapter. And it is suprisingly well built. And it works great as stereo adapter. Only problem is that it turns of microphone.
Anyhow I did some additional testing.
I tried SE Xperia X1 since it has built in 3.5mm connector. and it works like this first one. That means microphone works.
I also tried plugging this first adapter into my touch cruise and then plugging this second adapter into it's USBext for headset. The result is the same as if I plug second adapter directly into touch cruise. Microphone doesn't work.
Interesting thing is that in all cases (including Xperia) when I listen to the music with external headphones soudn comes only out of them. But when phone starts ringing sound comes from both headphones and from built-in-phone external speaker.
!!! Maybe the most important thing is that microphone doesn't work even if only second adapter is plugged into the phone, without headphones plugged in it.
Obviously this second non-HTC adapter doesn't work as HTC originally planned that kind of adapter to work and now I need a way to fix this.
It seems to me that this adapter is maybe stereo adapter with mic, but I don't have that kind of headset to try it. And if I had it I'm not sure it would be the right one since there's no standard for them.
As I see it when I plug in adapter phone somehow detects it and changes some registry key which mutes microphone.
Does anybody know what to change in registry so that phone doesn't mute microphone?
Or how can I see what changes in registry when I plug in the adapter?
Do you think if I manage to fix this, will that affect bluetooth headset also?
Thank you very much for any help!

Arc S earphone jack configuration

does anybody know of a software solution like an app or some other hack to make the earphone jack on the Arc S compatible with aftermarket earphones having a inline mic?
background --
The headphone jack on the Arc S is different from those found on motorola, iphone or HTC phones. The four connectors have the same configuration for the left and right audio channel but the connections for mic, ground are interchanged. 99% of the earphones with inline mic available in the market are made to the iphone specs and hence are not compatible with SE arc s. I have these ones and these, but when i plug them into the phone it just says "accessory not supported" .
I had the same problem with my last phone samsung wave which also has the flipped ground/mic connectors. The earphone that came with that phone also work on the arc.
There are cables available that fix this problem -- http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005I0GHV8 (I have bought this one)
http://www.meelec.com/MEE_TRRS_Adapter_for_P_Version_Headphones_p/adptr-trrs-35.htm
http://www.kvconnection.com/product-p/km-354r2m-r3f.htm
galaxy s users can use an alternative voodoo sound driver to mke the earphones compatible without the need for additional adapter cable.
can something similar be done for Arc S? , (I have bought one of those adapter cables but it sucks to have it dangling from the phone all the time)
base on my experienced, you can try this.
SE supply the wired Handfree kits right? along the kit got
1. stereo jack with mic inline (you should notice the jack has 4 metal/copper connection to be plug in to the phone)
2. in the middle have mic and an answer button + another Stereo jack receiver,
3. after that, then you will have a bit short wire stereo earphone with a stereo jacks but without the mic inline wire (you should notice the jack has only 3 metal/copper connection)
you should connect your wire input device to the stereo jack after the mic, because after the mic only the circuit will only supply sound output voltage (+ left, + right & -ve for both earphone)
...i am sorry for my bad English
goodluck

@putrabiru
you seem to have misunderstood the problem
earphones that don't have a mic in them(3 rings on the jack) already work fine if connected directly to the phone.
I am looking for a way to make earphones with inbuilt mic(4 rings on the jack) work with the arc without an additional piece of wire between the phone and the earphone jack.
So i am basically looking for a way to make the phone treat the mic and ground connectors opposite to how they are set up by default. This will definitely require a kind of mod to the system files of android or the drivers. I've even read about other users of samsung phones who opted to physically replace the headphone jack unit on their phones with standard configuration ones!
Sony should have kept the configuration the same as how most earphone manufacturers make them.
Sony actually uses the agreed OMTP standard for mobile headsets. The reason for all these problems is nothing other than the recent popularity of crApple.
Just get a cheap OMTP adapter off ebay. You should be able to find one by searching for something like "Motorola headset adapter" etc.
As Paul stated, Sony Ericsson actually followed the standard, Apple did not. I would suggest to look for an adapter if you want to use "iPhone compatible" headsets.

bluetooth adapter for corded earphones

I have good corded earphones with integrated microphone and answer button that acts also as a playlstop button for the audio player on phone.
My question is, is there some simple bluetooth adapter that I can attach my earphones to it, and use them as wireless earphones?
I Know there are many expensive adapters with integrated microphone and controls but I already have earphones With good microphone and controls I I only need a simple adapter.
Thanks in advance.
Sony Ericsson MW600 allows you to connect your own headphones. I have it and it is great. It does have it's own mic though so not sure how it would cope with another mic on the headphones.
So that's what my question is about, because i don't want to buy it and then it won't work well with my earphones.

Xperia S Headset and MH1 compatibility

Hey,
I need a new headset for my Sony Xperia S. I dont want the cheap headset with comes with it because its to quiet and has only one button. The Sony Smart Headsets are too expensive.
I want a headset which is priced between the Sony Headsets which work (about 30€), which is a cable headset and has buttons (for accept call, play, pause, adjust volume, skip...) I would prefer one with 3 buttons.
I now recognized that only few headsets work with my phone so I need help.
I ordered a Sony MH1 because I thought it would work with my phone. Because it doesnt work I want to give it to the mother of my girlfriend. She uses the the Galaxy Gio. Will the Sony MH1 headset work with her phone?
Thank you in advance
Greetings

Notes
Maybe this isn't the kind of help that you're looking for, but here are some information about headsets:
This comes from: http://www.head-fi.org/t/632892/review-sony-mh1-the-best-kept-secret
Let’s begin by explaining two standards used in making the 3.5mm TRRS plug on headset – OMTP and CTIA (both are organizations for mobile standards). For OMTP, the TRRS plug is wired as [Left-Right-Mic-Ground] (from tip-to-sleeve); for CTIA, the TRRS is wired as [Left-Right-Ground-Mic].

So, the problem is in the wiring of the plug, especially on the mic part. If the connection are reversed, the mic won't work and phone may not recognize the whole as headset.
You can try to find a sort of adapter for the headset that you like (and got).
Also, is important to notice that volume control should be referred for the headset only (apart any other volume control in the phone) due to the lack of data connection between the phone and headset itself (in most headsets the button is a short circuit of mic wires)...
My best experience is with bluetooth headset (AD2P and AVRCP for music, BT-Headset for phone calls). I can control the flow of my favourite music, at the same time of the incoming (and eventually outgoing, with voice commands) calls, with same headset, and without any wires in the middle. An example of these is: MW600S here: http://store.sony.com/webapp/wcs/st...10151&langId=-1&productId=8198552921666492655
Thank you for your answer.
I have an TRRS adapter but it doesnt work with it either.
I didnt know the facte about the volume control. This isnt too important so it is no problem.
Will the MW600s work with my Xperia S? and does the MH1 Headset work on the Samsung Galaxy Gio?
