[Q] Dr Dre Beats on Arc

Hello guys.
I have a problem:
My dad bought himself an XE with Dr. Dre Audio beats and gave me his Headset.
But every time when I want to connect it to my arc it says that it's not supported.
Is there any fix/rom out to fix this issue?
Thank you.
Yours, Kuro

have the same issues as urs dude.. =(

you cannot use HTC, samsung, and iphone on ours sony ericssons...
Sony, nokia etc has the same...but incompatibile with htc,samsung,iphone...
sorry mate...its hardware problem..you should cut out end of headset and put your own connector, or open up phone and change this connector

Lol really?
Well, I got some Sony (not SE) in-ears which worked in 2.3.2 w/o problems, but now in 2.3.4 they doesn't work("Not supported"). But: on 2.3.2 the Dr. Dre Beats worked, but the Sound was a little bit "fuzzy" so it's a software prob, isn't it?

i cant acctually comment that, but what i said before is true.
It was thread about that month or two ago, this is what i remember.

I know that most of new phones can change polarity of connector automatic (by software) because all of headphones (not necessary branded by mobile manufacturers) have different connector...some use 2nd pin for ground, some not...so it is software problem, I would say even marketing...because they want us to buy their branded headsets...

well .. i have studio beats by dr.dre and i've tried it on nokia n8 and xperia arc and also ipod touch .. and it's workin great .. so i dont think it's something about connectors ..
( maybe ) your beats has it's own software on XE, that's why it shows the beats logo when u connect them .. but im not sure about that

i tried it on stock 2.3.4
it's working good on MIUI 2.1.6 as well
sry for late reply

But those are Studio... There is no MIC pin on connector...it is all about it!

I've got beats when I first connected them it says accessory not supported,I went into tescos here in UK and picked up a pair of smartphone headphones for about seven quid they come with an extra little adapter for certain brands of phones , plugher my beats in with the adapter and work fine

Thank you alun.
Do you maybe know how much such an adapter costs?

The one I've got came with a set of headphones but the headphones were less than £8 I don't know exactly where u would get one on its own , do a search for smartphone headphones and see what comes up they included the adapter so the headphones would work with certain brands of phones eg Samsung Sony e.t.c I just tried it with the beats headphones out of curiosity and it worked beats are ky everyday headphones now

I guess the E is for economy, coz by the looks it doesn't look much expensive..

So a breakdown of some stats:
MSM7227 Snapdragon processor (I assume 1 gHz max)
3.5 inch screen
3.2 MP camera
1500 mAh battery
Launching on JB (E dual will launch on ICS with JB update coming after. Thank you Felimenta97)
But there are no standout features except for possibly the dual SIM which was featured on another Xperia phone this year (Xperia tipo I think). If anyone wants to add on to the list feel free to do so.

They are the same as the Z ones. And your title doesn't say anything. You should change it to something different.

Exactly Felipe You can't expect an oem to release nothing but flagships, Sony is a company that provides phones for everyone.

Well, not anymore (in terms of specs, at least). E and J were the last very low end phone of their line. Now is just medium to high end. They want to be a premium company. Even their "low end" phones are gonna be medium ones. Wait for a event soon... (Not sure when, as looks like they won't be at MWC).

and still they decide to release FF OS for this particular device!

Hi all,

I found this thread about an audio enhancement app which, from the screenshots, looks totally awesome. Has anyone tried this on the N4? And how does it stacks from noozxoide?

Are you sure it's A8...? S4/Krait delivers between A9 and A15 performance.
Edit: A9 driver also works.

Dev recommend A8 for N4
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app

I love it. I think that Viper pairs very well with the Nexus 4, and really brings out the potential in the phone.
Connor Baker
+1'ing the recommendation to use A8 as well. Not saying that the A9 won't work, just saying that the developer recommended using it for the Nexus 4, so I will continue to use it.

Seems louder but the equalizer thing isn't as nice as the audiophile setting in noozxide, the settings are different so I'll need more time to tweak things.

Thank you all for your feedback. I'm gonna install it now. Will give my feedback after this.

It's definitely an awesome app, and the convolers you can use make it sound even more awesome.
You have to use the a8 with NEON driver enabled to make it work on your nexus 4. ( thats what i did)
I currently only use the FX app and not the HiFi, since i dont like the HiFi app. It makes the sound quality worse in my opinion.
You should definitely use this app if you want nice audio quality.
I'm using it in conjunction with PowerAmp and it is sounding awesome

The only real fault I find with the N4 is the crummy audio. I'm thinking it is firmware related since it is with the external speaker and the output jack, probably crappy audio driver. Whatever this app does to correct it is totally amazing. It takes some tweaking to get it where you want it because it is nowhere near just a DSP manager. It is worth every bit of rooting and installing if you want to use your N4 as a music player.

[Q] Is it possible to convert Xperia Play to Dual Sim by Original Sony ROM ??

is it possible to Port a Dual SIM ROM from many of SONY's Dual sim phones.. to our Xperia PLay so that it can work as a Dual SIM Phone..
I mean yes their are adapters and all but those involves switching sims etc.. this would make both sims work like STOCK.. it work better isn't it if possible. I was reading about how 2 whatsapp work on the same phone and only you need to plug the 2nd SIM once and it keeps working. so on those lines.. is it possible ??
2nd scenario.. even if not like whatsapp.. what if we PORT the ROM and then use an adapter so both sims are present.. >> any ideas.

Not sure but I have seen adapters on eBay that allow you to use two sides on a single Sim device. But you have to have some kind of software I'm sure in order for the phone to see and use both, one at a time of course

yes.. the adapters sometimes do come with a software also.. but what I meant was.
Using the Dual Sim Sony ROM from a Sony DUal Sim Phone..
and using the Adapters for having the 2 sims.. and letting the official SONY software control the sims.

any compatible or working adapter with xperia play any one could recommend ??
