Headphone jack wiggles? - Xperia Z4/Z3+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Just got the Z3+ dual, went to test the audio and noticed the headphone jack could wiggle.
Tried different headphones and still the same. The connection between the headphones and the phone is ok, not loose, just the 3.5mm jack seems to wiggle.
Is this the same for anyone else?

Mine is ok

I had the same prob with the headphones included in the box.Now I'm using my older Sony headphones and it's OK.

I'm guessing it's just an added tolerance for different headphones. Like a 3 pin and 4 pin have different widths. Could be wrong though.

What are your thoughts. Seems like a good product. Be able to use some decent headphones for listening to those mp3z . . .
Anybody used one of these?
is the answer/mute button only for those 2 functions or is that module also acting as a microphone (don't think so)? looks good to me but i use the headset adaptor i bought from this internet site based in hong kong. check out:
http://pc-mobile.net/pxdaa.jpg (the website is http://pc-mobile.net)
it comes with a standard 2.5 mm jack for the xda. the wire is on a retractable mechanism to avoid tangling. at the other end is the stereo phone jack which serves as an answer/end button and as a microphone as well. there's a single headphone jack connected which uses a 3.5mm plug. when you want to listen to the toons using your 2-headphone set; you simply unplug the jack and insert any 3.5mm plug-based headset. in effect you can use any 3.5 headset as handsfree.
costs 26usd but services are 5-stars for me.
cheers
Anyone tried this adaptor from pc-moblie.net? The sound quality is good or bad?
i doubt that it could damage the quality so you can hear it unless you connect it to a stereo's lineIn and play it out using real speakers
those headsets are too limited imho to take much damage from a few connectors
However, all these things are not suitable for xdaII.
I bought one from pc-mobile and the quality is good. However, since the new xdaII got 2 buttons in its handsfree design, this product from pc-mobile is not fully compatible. You can hear from it but you can't pick up or end call from it as compared to xda1 you can.
I hope they can produce another product which is fully compatible with xda2. Otherwise, I may have to go for bluetooth but really worry about the battery.
Also, can I or is there anyone using the bluetooth handsfree for mp3 playing????? I doubt that very much.
I do really like the pc-mobile handsfree which is retractable and handy.
Any alternative in the market?? You got the adaptor but I think its only good for audio MP3 listening. If you attach another headsfree to the adaptor for business use (don't know whether we can...), you will have 2 buttons (one for the adaptor and one for the handsfree) which is quite funny !
Does somebody else have this problem and find a solution?
Do most people use bluetooth?
*Damn* !
Been creating a cable myself, tried it yesterdaynight late....
The damn thing didn't answer the phone when i pressed te button.
I cut the audio-out cord and trew the cable away, because i tought the mic didn't work....
Now i read this.... Guess the mic did work, but the answerbutton didn't.
Now i hope i can rewire the audio-out cabels again, so i haven't been soldering for nothing last night
Headphone adapter for HTC magic
Hello.
On the HTC magic, there isnt a 2.5 or a 3.5 headphone jack! there is only a mini USB jack. Does anyone know where i could get a mini USB jack adapter to turn it into a regular headphone jack?
Even if anybody knows what kind of mini USB jack comes on the HTC then that would be lots of help! because ive already purchased one that fit, but didnt work so it must have been a different type.
Thanks in advance!

[Q] Bose on-ear headphones + cable mic

Hello everybody,
I own the bose on-ear, and I love them.
http://www.bose.co.uk/GB/en/home-an...bose-audio-headphones/bose-on-ear-headphones/
I would like to use them with my htc hd2 while calling.
Since the audio cable from the device to the headphones is removable, is it possible to have a 3.5mm female/male cable with a mic and audio controls in it?
I mean something like this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-co...1_1?ie=UTF8&s=computers&qid=1288395589&sr=8-1
with mic and controls attached
thx

I've done a slightly different take on this, I snipped the lead between the control module and the headphones and soldered a inline 3.5mm jack socket. This enables me to plug my Sennheiser HD-25 headphones in without having to damage the lead and in fact plug any standard set of headphones in whilst keeping the full functionality of the remote module...

Is there anyone else here who uses a BOSE in-ear headphones?
I've got one and I read a few reviews AFTER I bought it that it's not loud enough. I'm not sure if this is something to do with the phone or the product is just like this.
I've had Klipsch Speakers for my PC before but unsure if their earphones are also very good compared to BOSE.

Headphone jack issues

Does anyone else have issues with their headphones staying in the headphone jack? I have tried with my beat tours, sennheiser ie8's and even the rca in-line converter in the car/ rack system. The slightest bump, and the headphones jack pops out, losing my music.. Does anyone else have this issue? i thought it just needed to be broken in, but it is consistently pushing the plug out. Att seems to be a b*tch about exchanging the phone..

3.5mm jack problems

Just wanted to check is anyone else is finding that headphones plugged into this jack often are not picked up by the phone and the speaker is used instead.
Happens both with my car AUX and my in ear Klipsch earphones, although if I jiggle the plug it sometimes works. The bundled headphones (MH750) so not seem to suffer this problem.
Is this a widespread problem or an issue with my handset?
the MH750 has 3 rings on the jack as a opposed to the 2 rings on the connector for your other headphones am I right? Having the extra ring on it (meant for the remote) may be what is adding the extra tightness when inserted. I'm not sure how to solve your AUX problem but you may need to try headphones which have a built in remote like the MH750 so that it has the extra ring on the connector. This may also be a defect, as I can not confirm since my device is still on it's way.
EDIT : After receiving the phone this happened to me once. You have to play around with the smart connect settings o disable it all together. It doesn't seem to be hardware related.
i have the same problem here .

[Q] Help | Use old earphones on Xperia Z1

Hi. I heard that any kind of old earphones don`t work on Xperia Z1, Unfortunately. So, I`m looking for advice about using my Xperia Arc`s earphone.
The wiring swapped to be the same as on the iPhone I believe, perhaps back with the Xperia S onwards.
You might be able to get an adapter, but I'd suggest just getting new earphones unless you're really attached to the ones on the Arc!
All normal "3 pin" earphones work just fine (except for a little bit of static noise for a few seconds after plugging in). There will be problems with old headsets though.
Headsets must comply to the new CTIA headset standard!

I should have added that normal headphones are okay, it's anything with a mic or control buttons (e.g. call/end).
