[Q] Headphones aren't detected automaticlly by phone. - XPERIA X8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello.
Today i've flashed a nighly port of CM9 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722721), running naa-ics-04. Everything was fine to the moment I wanted to listen to some music. After conecting my headphones, the first thinh i saw that the small icon doesnt appear at the notification bar as it happened to on other phones. the second thing was that when I played a song through Play Music, it was played throug speaker, not the connected headphones.
I had this problem on other rom also, and it was fixed by flashing a file that i just dont remember. Don't tell me that i shoul use Soundabout or any simillar apps, cause' its not a real sollution.
Thanks in advance, spindrion.

use nAa minicm. it does not have any such problems. if you want to use this rom then there is an app that routes sound to headphones rather than the speakers. try that out you will find it in some CM11 or CM10 thread. next time you have a such questions post it in the respective rom thread. its better that way. OP can help you out and there will be one less thread.

[Q] Strange issue with music playing out of headphones - PLEASE, PLEASE HELP!

Hello,
I'm believe i'm currently running Cyanogen Mod 7.1 on the LG 2X.
I've had no problems with the mod, everything was running smoothly then one day, out of the blue, the music was no longer working properly out of the headphones.
The best way I can describe is it as tho you are listening to music under water. The music of the songs play, but when the artist sings, their voice is sort of tinny, and doesn't play properly.
Another strange thing is that when I listen to the radio via an app, it works fine. A little quiet, but it is still clear.
I've had a fiddle with the settings on the music player, but nothing seems to change. I've tried a variety of music players and the problem still occurs.
I've been to 2 technicians and neither of them know what the problem is. They don't believe it is something to do with the hardware, more an internal issue.
I just really want to get this issue sorted, because it's very frustrating when I want to listen to music when travelling etc.
Please help, I'd really appreciate it.
P.S My phone will no longer connect to the computer. When I plug it in via USB, it doesn't pop up on the computer, and only shows a charging icon on the phone. If someone could help fix this i'd also be greatful.
Thanks guys.
For the audio problem, check the DSP manager app.
For the USB problem, check if you have USB debug on. (I think you have to look at Settings->applications->development.)
Have you tried different headphones?
I have a similar problem when using my Sony Ericsson headphones on the LG. It seems the 3.5 mm jack is somehow different. So when I use the SE set, I hear the voice distantly, echoed and so on. And its definitely not from the software.

I also have this problem with my sony ericsson headphones, I have to press real hard on the jack so I can hear properly, so I just use the headphones that came with the LG instead...

[Q] Problems with Switching audio

Hi Everyone,
I have a weird problem. I tried installing skype from play store yesterday and DSPPack for player Pro and ever since i am having this weird problem.
1) When i plug in a Headset/Earphones the phone does not recognize it. The Audio from the phone calls continues through the earpiece and Music is routed to the Speaker
2) When i restart the phone with the Headset/Earphones plugged in, all the audio is played only through the Headset/Earphones (removing them the audio is not routed back to the earpiece or Speakers)
3) I found this app called SoundAbout, using this app i am able to switch between the Earpiece/Speaker and Earphones/Headset.
Can someone guide me as to how to fix this problem. I have done factory reset twice already but of no use
Thanks and regards
Sanjay

I'm on stock JB retail.EU too. I tried the features that make you problems to find out whether I've got any issue. Both video and Skype through headphones work normal, sound is transmitted via headphones. I don't use any market video player I suppose that you use MX Video Player. Try with stock player, you'll have excellent and smooth video playing. If you want to use other player because of subtitles, I recommend BSPlayer.
But what is important for the beginning is to eliminitate possible cause of your troubles. I suggest you to try these:
1. Inspect how are headphones connected. Thin click is to be heard when connected right. They shall not be inserted less and not beyond this click.
2. If you have bluetooth headphones or you can borrow them (stereo not calling headset) try whether you have the same problem with them.
3. Remove video player and check if the problem still exist with Skype.

1) The problem is not related to Hardware, otherwise SoundAbout would not work
2) Same problem with blue tooth headphones
3) I have removed skype, Player Pro
I installed Player Pro and not MX Player
I even made a factory reset (Settings - Privacy - Factory data reset).
I again made a factory reset now and as i mentioned before... the phone does not detect anything plugged into the Audio Jack. If i restart the phone with something plugged in the audio jack, all volume is routed only through the audio jack (if remove the plug, there is no audio from the earpice or built in loudspeaker) and i have to restart the phone again

Then is it obviously that you have problem with the system (JB or kernel). As I mentioned I have the identical system and no issues with voice switching. You could try to flasIt the JB once more but I wouldn't recommend. Since you have practicaly new phone the most logical solution is to bring it to the service. Its better that the service take the risk of succesful flash and it is usually done really fast.

Could you please tell me how to flash JB again to the phone?

BT Headset and custom ROMs.

Hi all..
I have a minor problem for most that is important enough for me and keeps me away from all those wonderful custom ROMs..
That is:
The phone is set to "vibrate mode", I stream music through A2DP and it works great until someone calls me. Then the headset notifies about the call and the music I used to listen to is now played back loudly through the phone's speaker. That is very annoying, given that I discovered it when I was in my university's library trollolol.
I tried all versions, CM10.1, AOSP, AOKP and this happens in every single one of them. Only in stock based ROMs everything is working as it should..
This also happens with the apollo player and also with player pro.
Also tried Optimus Prime kernel by demetris_l, still the same.
Lastly, I also tried it with 2 different A2DP bluetooth headsets (Sony Ericsson MW-600 and Scosche tuneStreamII), both act the same.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks for your time!
Update.. I managed to work around it by changing the applications I have been using.. Mortplayer works great and doesn't act like that, for instance.
Thing is, why did the apps like PlayerPro and Apollo worked ok and paused music playback during a call on the stock ROM but not on any of the custom ones?
Is it maybe that they can't use the READ_PHONE_STATE permission properly?
Thanks for providing a workaround atleast
thre was a guy saying that this doesnt happen to him, so dont you think it could be your BT headset?

[Q] Bluetooth music on car radio

Hi all,
This may very well be a stupid question, but I can't find any information about it. Here's the deal. I have CM10.1 Stable, with original kernel, setup on the SNG. I also now have a bluetooth car radio. The pairing works fine, and calls can be made and heard on car speakers. However, whatever I do, I cannot get a music player to send music to the bluetooth. It just plays on the phone speaker. I've searched for settings, in bluetooth options, in the music players (tried two), but alas to no avail. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks for the help.

Don't remember about 10.1 but 10.2, the music through Bluetooth works fine..

OK, so how do you get it to work, step by step?
1-pair bluetooth device
2-Play music using apollo or player pro or whatever player you may use..
And is that it?
As I was saying, the problem here could very well be the user... But I can't figure it out !
Thanks,
Yeah. There is no need to open apollo. I just select BT audio on car stereo and it starts playing from where I left last time..

Ah, a shame then. Clearly something is wrong with my setup then... No idea why music won't play !

Weird problem with speakers and mic

I have a problem with my unrooted Xperia Z with a locked bootloader. My main speaker does not work for any media like music games or videos, but works fine for loudspeaker calls. Also the earpiece speaker doesnt work at all. Another problem i found was that my microphone would not work at all unless it was in a call and i was using loudspeaker. The final problem is that when ever i plug in my earphones, google now pops up and sometimes my phone starts playing music automatically throught the earphones, when i remove the earphones, instea of stopping the music continues but the speakers dont work so it just keeps playing them silently. If anyone knows the soultion to this, please respond as ive searched everywhere and i have not found one solution yet.
UPDATE: i used the application soundabout to reroute the audio and the calls are now fine, the only problem is that when i plug in my earphones the google now problem persists. If i plug in earphones with a mic, i dont get any of these problems and everytime i want to use my internal speaker for media, i have to manually re-route the audio to them. Anybody know a solution to these 2 problems?
I do have the exact same problem, I tried different ROMs and Audio Mods (at the moment I've got a stock ROM) without any change.
Did you somehow fix it?
Exact same problem, i run stock android 5.1.1 build 10.7.A.0.222 locked boot loader. Problem suddenly came up last week during vacation, quite some time after I did OTA upgrade to 5.1.1 - so this is not related to ROM updates.
After installing soundabout (thanks for the hint) the rerouting did not work immediately - i had to set phone to earpiece and media to speaker in the app and reboot for it have an effect.
I think the root cause is, the phone thinks there are headphones connected, when there really aren't. If I use the UKW radio app, it starts and shows headphones as output-icon right away - it should actually complain that there is no reception without phones because the antenna (headphone cable) is missing. Since it doesn't complain I guess that's the culprit.
Any hints how to fix that, without using a rerouting app? (kinda stupid, using bluetooth speakers and so on now needs a manual setting change in soundabout).
I have that phone for more than 2 years now and used headphones maybe twice with it, so a busted headphone-jack is out of the question too.
Guys give it a try.
Thanks Ess Arr, that really works!
