Well I have bought Sony Xperia Z which is new. Recently what I felt is the volume of the phone is pretty less, compared to the previous phone what I have used (Samsung Galaxy S Advance). No water, dust, etc have touched the phone yet, so its completely fresh.
So what I have to edit in settings, etc. for my best sound??
Secondly why the Sony haven't provided folder wise songs to listen like in samsung. Is there any way to do it??
My phone is not rooted and I don't think of doing it.

Well, I recommend you to root your phone at least and flash one of Xperia Z sound mods that you can find here and there in forum section..

Just got mine, they work great, great sound quality, they also come with different ear bud sizes which fit comfortably, they hardly fall out, for the price its totally worth it, very stylish too.
I found these after breaking the stock Xperia Play ones, i totally recommend these as a replacement =)

Hey! i use those ones since i got my play and they are way better than the ones that came with the phone, great sound, great bass, great quality, great comfort. I paid $27 for them on radioshack here in El Salvador
Thanks for the advice, will keep in mind when will need a replacement!

I wanted better sound than my stock earphones so I looked around and these were recommended
(I cant post links so just add the www) .sonymobile.com/gb/products/accessories/livesound-hi-fi-headset/
These are Sony Ericsson LiveSound, I liked them because of 2 reasons.
1. They sound incredible and all the different earbud sizes that come with them
2. They only work in Xperia phones so poeple at college couldnt ask to use them, I don't like people using my earphones.
Please Listen Me
Buddies,
The best headset to our Xperia Play is the stock I9000 (Galaxy S) headset.
This headset is 100% compatible with Xperia PLay, I have one. The Samsung Galaxy S and Xperia Play have the same P3 female plug. The sound of this headset is much more rich, good bass and awesome treble.
I bought one genuine on Ebay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260947028940&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:GB:1123
The seller is trust.
I've bought one Sony Livesound genuine from Ebay and can say, I9000 stock headset is far better. Livekey works great but the volume buttons won't work.
The Livesound is more beautiful, but the audio is worst.
Give a try for stock I9000 headset.
Thks!
Do you guys know if any of these would work?
Sony MDR-EX77SL
Sony MDR-EX210B
And if yes which one would you go with?
I just used the Sony Ericsson earphones that came in the box for the Xperia Play and they are absolutely rubbish ! I can hardly hear anything from them.
They're absolute ****e !
They do work & the MDR-EX210B

Hello everybody!
I upgraded my Z to JB yesterday (v. 10.3.A.0.423). Before the update, with 4.1.2 i used to connect apple's earpods and they worked perfectly.
After the update i plug them in and it doesn't recognize them, it completely ignores them and the sound goes through the speakers.
If i plug in the headphones that came with the device they work without a problem.
Is there any solution othen than a software downgrade?
Thanks in advance!

Do not use Apple product on your Android phone, HERETIC!
Or check if your earphone works on anothr phone to be sure that they works, just in case. That's weird they do not work after the update, earpods are earpods, the phone doesn't detect the mark of it.
same problem

I have the same problem, and NO, your solution isn't really helpful, I'd want the choice to be able to use my earphones on any type of device (imagine if we were tied to same brand for everything:crying:!).
This sucks bad, I hope someone finds a fix.
P.S: My earpods work perfectly on every other device except my XZ!
It seems others are having problems as well - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2340877

Just to be clearer, I'm not personally having a problem as I use the earphones that came with the phone and don't have others to test with.

Yep i was answering to guybrush50 but i've quoted you by mistake lol
Anyway that's really odd, i think that some Apple earpods have some kind of restrictions or something that doesn't works on JB 4.2.2
The apple earpods i've tried was for iPhone 4S but worked perfectly on my Z

My Apple Earbuds that I've used since my Iphone 3GS are fine. Are you sure you are plugging them in all the way? Mine need to be pushed in a little harder than I would have thought.
I am also on 4.2.2
They should work but honestly apple earphones aren't really that good. Why use them? They are basically cheap headphones just overpriced. I can get much better ones for less. Just saying. And year try maybe pushing them in Harder or try using different once. If they work then that's the issue. Try the Sony earphones they should work if they don't either then something is going on with ur phone.

Compared to the sony earphones that came with the device, they are much louder and have a more crisp sound IMHO.
Anyway using Apple earpods on a sony Xperia Z is nearly troll, just use the one with your phone or buy real quality earpods.
well i have the same problem too, except i'm not using other type of brand for headphone/headset.
i'm using Sony Playstation Wireless Stereo Headset using stereo cable included in it.
before upgrading my xperia z to 4.2.2, it work wonders.
after upgrading just yesterday, my headphones didn't recognized to my phone at all, the output sound is the external speaker on the phone
they didn't work when i switched on the headphone (there are on/off switch on the headphone), but that's because i want to fully experience the high quality sound when it's on and the output sound would be the external speaker on the phone.
sadly when it's off switched, the headphone works well but using standard quality sound. the bass won't come out...:crying:
what is happening with the upgrade, Sony???
Y U not recognized ur own brand headphone???

Well I don't use the sony ones either but what I am saying is if the sony ones work on the xperia z and the apple ones not then u know it has to do with them. I can imagine apple made them so that they don't work right on other devices other then apple devices. It would not surprise me as I am working for Apple and they really do everything to not make there stuff work outside of the apple economy. Sadly. I had that problem with the HTC earphones that where the beats one. They didn't work proper either on other cellphones beside the HTC ones. Strange but htc told me that that is because of the volume and skip buttons on the headphones and also the hands free speaking capabilities. It seems that those often have issues being properly compatible with other cellphones. For example the sony ones work fine for music on other phones but it doesn't work for the hands free part. I know it is strange but I guess htc sony Samsung apple all use a different technology in that regard maybe?

You find that with other headsets, particularly hands free, when you push the button, you can hear fine... Once let go, Sound either fades or mutes!
Xperia Z
I have the same issue.
My earphones from the iPhone 5 do not work since the update from Sony.
this is really stressing me out as the shape of the earphones from the iphone 5 is really great and sit lovely in the ear.
Can't believe google/android can be so petty to stop this with an update.
it's a joke to be hones.

I think this is happening to unlocked, unbranded xperia z's
my wife has the same phone as me locked on three and the headphones work absolutely fine for her. she has the same firmware and android version so the only thing that I can think would cause this is the update from Sony themselves and not the one supplied by the carrier.
i've sent an email to Sony regarding this and will wait their response.
With the press of a Button......

I think there is a service menu dial *#*#7378423#*#* on the phone key pad.
This should allow you to test many functions.
There's a theory that early manufactured devices have a touch screen issue - when flat or when charging responsiveness is wrong.
As far as I can tell the issue with c5302 is that the Play store doesn't properly recognise it and it's possible you won't be able to install some games (I suppose this might be a regional licencing issue?)
Apart from that all the usual stuff - people sometimes try and sell water damaged phones second hand that have 95% functionality - so make sure it can make calls, connect to data, connect to wifi, that the internal SD is recognised by the phone and by a PC you connect it to and that it accepts external SD cards and also recognises them.
hi iam using my xperia sp two months right now, facing touch screen problem as said above, and also overheating problem. pls check this two points. everything else ok, this two things make me very irritating and angry, in my point of view this two you must be check first.
c5306
I have 2 weeks with my SP (c5306), it came with a very old firmware (12.0.A.1.234) but it hasn't the two issues you mention (flat surface issue and overheating (42C max with heavy gaming), although it does have a lot of issues regarding WiFi drops and bipolar WiFi Direct connectivity.
How do i check the screen touch problem ?

OK so I just got my xperia Z1 2 days ago and I love it. The only thing is that the sound is disgustingly low. My old xperia z was louder.
Now I have a hairbrain idea.
The xperia play is still the loudest xperia phone I ever had back in the day. Now I was wondering, if. By any means at all would it be possible to put a xperia play speaker in my Z1?(I wonder what that would do to the waterproofing.)

No, not possible, the Z1 speaker sucks because it has loads of protection against water on the inside replacing it with a different one would probably require heavy modifications to the phone's body
Your only option would be to install a custom kernel with sound control and use something like faux/kernel adiutor/pimp my Z1/... To up the sound leven beyond the stock limit
I have been looking for a waterproof listening solution to use 3-4x a week for exercise-related swimming. I really hate Apple products and don't want anything to do with them, so my options are little less abundant. I had the idea of using a Sony Xperia phone and just leaving it in airplane mode as a music player. I see they go on feeBay for $75+ or so and I would happily use one of these as a dedicated music player. I have seen some videos where people have taken these swimming, but I can't find any where people are listening to music underwater. Is this possible? If so, does anybody here have experience with this? Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Z1 phone may get water damage. Can't guarantee its water proof.
@oRAirwolf - well, probably depends where you would keep the phone, but it's IMO pretty bad idea, got mine water damaged this way...
I decided to get a waterproof arm band and I am going to try my Sandisk Sansa Clip as an audio player. It may be too thick, in which case, I am going to get a FiiO M3 or X1. Anything but Apple...
well as long as your phone is not used and you brought it as well is if the screen or anything hasn't been repaired before then MAYBE its ok, also the factory warranty is done for all xperia Z1's so dont expect sony to back you up. but remember, just because the company says its waterproof dont go pushing your luck. There was a law suit some time back and sony had to rename it it water "resistant" so yea things to consider.
