So I am having some problems with headphones and my Z3 Compact.
Some time ago my headphones (NOCS NS500 android version) stopped working. Phone wasn't detecting when they are plugged in. I thought that headphones them self got somehow damaged. But they work fine with my pc and tablet.
Headphones that came with the phone work just fine.
After some google'ing I made my NOCS work again with soundabout, but controls don't work, NOCS app for that doesnt work either.
So the question is - is there a way to fix this? So that my phone sees these headphones as Sony headphones?
Thanks
P.S. I did go through general part of the Z3C forum and used search didn't find anything helpful So I am sorry if this was already asked and answered.

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...
All was working fine this morning then in the afternoon plugged in my headphones (I have the Sony Noise Cancelling headphones made to work with the Z3) and they were not recognized.
Got home, plugged in another pair and not working.
Tried the earbuds that came with the phone and also not working.
Did some research, cleared cache and data of Smart Connect app but no change.
Did a factory reset, still not working.
Updated Smart Connect and got headphone sound but it was VERY quiet. The phone was picking up the headphones as a headset.
Finally, downloaded the third part app Soundabout and I can connect my regular (non-noise cancelling) headphones if I let that program override the phone settings.
So, seems this is not a hardware issue but a software issue? Can't seem to find any info about this anywhere else besides a couple of forums on the sonymobile site, but doesn't offer a fix that is working for me.
Advice or tips?
got worse...
And now the headphones are VERY quiet even when using the Soundabout app...

so I bought MDR-XB50 a year ago and pared it with Xperia TX, they work so damn fine, never got any problem.
then I switch to Z3+ few weeks ago, still worked as good, until few days ago when suddenly my music went out on the Z3+'s speakers instead of my MDR-XB50. They no longer work together.
the thing is, my MDR-XB50 still works just fine with any computer, and my Z3+ can use just any different headphone (no mic)
apparently, there's an app call Soundabout, and it has an option called "Wired Headset with Mic" (which is the type of my MDR-XB50) and only by using this they can work together again.
So, what was the problem? how do I get back to how it wa, without using another app.
Many thanks.
hello
I bought a used I9305 (stock rom 4.4.4) for my girlfriend but the back speaker/buzzer did not work.
Easy fix, I thought and put in a new buzzer,headjack unit.
But suprise: didn´t help.
With the headphone plugged it works just fine, every sound ok.
front speaker (phone) works, mic works, so you can actually phone.
Tried some settings as found in the web, tried pulling in out the jack, but that doesnt seem to be the prob as the phone recognizes the headphone and when unplugged.
Last thing before selling on was as here.
Maybe here are some experienced users who can help.

Okay, I have a strange thing going on here.......
I bought my first bluetooth headset which is Jabra Storm (I ride a bike don't have a car) so it started gettting cracked when connected to my Xperia Z1 even my phone got unresponsive many times with that headset so I gifted that headset to my brother who has Motorola Droid Turbo, but before gifting him I checked that very headset with one of my friend's phone Xperia SP and one another phone it was still problematic, maybe it was a high copy of Jabra storm?? anyway then I bought LG-Tone Music HBS-730 which is also a high copy I'm sure but it works fine with my phone....... then out of curiosity I bought another Bluetooth headset "Motorola HK250" original, which is far better than the jabra storm co'z now it never got auto disconnect and connect at all but when on Bike if I turn my head right (and xperia z1 is in my left pocket ) the music sometimes break and sometimes it works fine. In a room it works fine... I also have a smartwatch 2 on my right hand but it's bluetooth is always off so I don't think this one is causing problem..
So what's up here?
The phone has faulty bluetooth? (I even installed Xperia Z1 bluetooth fixed from Market)
The Environment has interference with the device ? (I almost travel too much to check this)
Or
Bluetooth headsets aren't meant for Riding bikes ?
I'm confused , thanks for reply in advance.
