[Q] MH100 and FM radio not working - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

With my purchase of the Sony Ericson Aino, I got the wireless bluetooth headset MH100 which also works with the FM radio on the phone. I then upgraded my phone to the Sony Ericson Xperia Arc and the MH100 still worked fine.
But now with my Sony Xperia TX LT 29i, it will not work for the fm.
Music and phone calls are ok.
Does anyone have an idea on how to get this working? Does the phone need to be rooted or perhaps an app?

Your phone uses the ctia type connector and the sony ericsson headphones use omtp. You need a omtp to ctia adaptor

Don't you just love acronyms?
Please give me the full names.

I don't know what they stand for but if you want those headphones you will need a omtp to ctia adapter

Look at this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2050313&highlight=radio

Brilliant!!!
That made it work. Thank you very much.
I can now listen to the fm radio wirelessly with my MH100.
The only problem is that I still need to have earphones plugged into the phone to act as an aerial.
Is it possible to use the MH100 as it was designed for, with earphones plugged into it as the aerial?

With this mod, the radio can work without aerial, provided that the radio signal is strong enough...

Sony ericsson and other brands switched the pins on the headset plug so you can only use that specific plug. You need a converter in order to make them work.. I know, it sucks.. There is a thread about that somewhere.

This only affects headphones with microphone.

damn. but thanks anyway.
I had the same problem with my old skull candy headphones that had a mic.
I solved it by ripping the plasstic cover up abit thats on the jack. so it pushes in deeper on ur phone.

Earphone jam?

Hi.
Recently my new earphones have been okay, but suddenly my right earphone has suddenly turned soft. It happened halfway through a song. Do you think it 's possible for a jam to be the problem and if so what should I do to clear the jam?

Do they perfectly work with X8 or they are like apple headphones??
I think so I mean I've been using it for 3 months already and there was no problem until now

Do the original headphones which came with the phone work properly??
If not something maybe wrong with your phone.
you may have blown the speakers in the earphones themselves. Do you play music quite loud?
It's really easy to check where the problem lies..
1: Try the headphones in another device and
2: Try other headphones in your phone..
You'll then see if the problem is the phone, the headphones or both..
Well I play nu metal

They're decent, but may lack a teeny little bit of bass. I solved that problem simply by adjusting the equalizer
Actually, the headphones that come with the high-end Sony phones are better that what you will find at 20-30 bucks. You should pile up more money for something like a pair of Sennheiser CX-300ii or Klipsch S4 or spend it on something else.

It's impossible to stop working when you update from 4.1.2(not 4.2.1) to 4.2.2. Its hardware not software. This earpods wont work on both versions because its hardware not software like I said before.
I'm gono root my xz to check it..I'll get back and report after checkin cos I remember using earpods once in 4.2.1.I'll report it soon

They don't work. Apple htc samsung LG all use a different way on how to use the microphone and call end or music skip buttons on headphones. They most of the time only work on the same manufacturer devices. Only non specific headphone work on every device. But as soon as they are htc samsung sony and stuff that come with hands free and call end button or other stuff the most of the time don't work on other manufacturer phones. Like my beats from htc only work on htc and on LG but not on sony Samsung for example.

I have a pair of Sennheiser Momentum, they have a remote/mic rated only for iPhone. They work on the Z, except for the volume controls.
Yeah they work, but you have to force the output source to be the headphone jack. In order to do that all you need is an app like Sound About.

IPhone 5 earpods work fine for me. The only thing is, you have to press the Mic button after you've plugged them in to get audio out of the earpods. If not, you'll just get sound from the phone's speaker. Aside from that, they work perfectly and give great sound.

Imho they (apple earbuds) sound ugly.
Xperia T came bundled with some of the best earphones for being a free goodie. The MH1C. Xperia Z's EX300 are better that Apple attemps, but not as good as the MH1C.

No bashing here but I think if u put on cheap 5 dollar headphone apple on it ppl would think they are the best just because apple is on it. It worked for Apple and i can tell u a lot of the stuff is overpriced cheap stuff. It is a fact. To high priced and it a lot of cases u can get better stuff for way way cheaper. Anyway but if he likes the apple headphones. So be it. It is everyone's own free choice.

I use the Earpods on my XZ. The worked on stock 4.1.2 and 4.2.2 and they still work fine on CM 10.1.2 (4.2.2) and on the 4.3 GE. Just like you said you have to press the mic button once after inserting them.

No, search the z3c forum or google in general for loose headphone jack I think you might have a faulty unit.
