xperia x10 in-call voulume (headset)

hello this is my 1st post my xperia x10 volume is really low . when im outside i cant hear anything at all . so i went to a electronic store i tried headset that have mic on it . i tried klipsch , shure like all top of the line ones none of them worked when i play song its all disorted . when i try regular headphones with no mic it works. is the problem with my phone or sony ericsson wants me to buy their headsets. any help would be great thanks

the same thing has always been happening with my Monster Dr.Dre Beats Solo
which also has a mic on the wire. the sound comes out all wierd and echoey. dont know if theres a fix for that yet but if there is that would be great.
the only wired headset that i know works with the x10 is the one that came in box with the x10, but that one sucks.
anyways, if u just want to listen to music with those nicer headphones (such as my dre's) then u can use a headphone jack splitter on the phone before actually plugging in ur headphones, then u can use the phone as an mp3 player.

so if i buy a headphone splitter would it solve the problem? cuz i just purchased the klipsch s4 earbuds which is 1 of the best 1 out there right now and plug it with sony ericsson stock mic and it worked . the mic works and music also . even if i plug the earbuds on jack of phone music will work but it has no mic. so i think sony wants customers to use thier headsets. and when i use x10 headset with my earbuds the wires are way too long and i dont like . i wonder if there is any mic headphones outhere that will work with x10

[Q] Head phones with mic

Hey people. Thanks for all info, been reading about the defy here for some time. Got one now and I love it. I had a few smartphones before and this is by far the one I would stick to forever if I had to.
So, my question is: Are there any good head phones (in-ear plugs, with mic and maybe even music controlers) avaliable, and that I can be certain to be compatible with the Defy? Or could I just buy any that works fine with other Android or Motorola devices? Motorola is not sold in Sweden where I live, so it's not like I can check out any stores IRL here...
With my Xperia x20 mini, exacly what I described came along with the phone. Too bad that you just got these normal plugs with the defy. Cos there is just no way I would use those. As of now I stick to my old head phones but I'd love the mic function with my In-ear plugs.
Thanks for any help!

Ok, so I found this site:
thinkmotoroladefy.com/wiredheadsets.html
and it's all looking good, except for the part that they are a bit low-priced. I'm looking for high quality ones. I.e my current head phones was about 90 USD.

For information, iphone handsfree works fine

Thanks!
By chance, does anyone know if "Klipsch Image S4i" would work? they seams to be perfect! Volume, track fwd bwd and play...

I got one of these a few months ago, works fine with my HTC Desire. Not the best headphones in the world, but more than capable of handling a bus ride. You can unplug the headphones, clip on a small plastic hook and use it as an in-ear Bluetooth headset too. Two birds with one stone
I can get around 10 hours out of them between charges.

Thanks, it seams to be mono, right? Mono doesnt sound too thrilling...

If you use power amp you can set it up to use the controls on headphones to start and stop music, instead of calling the last number you called. It will work on the lock screen too.
This was the only way of getting it to work i found for the defy and i tried about 10 different headphones with in-line controls. Bluetooth stereo sets like the one above with controls seem to work fine for music however, ive got a sony bluetooth set and the controls worked right away on the standard media player.

i'm using now my new wesc bongo with handsfree, and they do work great!

Hi everybody I'm new,
Does anyone can confirm this pinout for Defy's jack 3.5mm?
1. Tip - Left audio
2. Ring - Right audio
3. Ring - Ground
4. Sleeve - Mic
or this used in most mobiles:
1. Tip - Left audio
2. Ring - Right audio
3. Ring - Mic
4. Sleeve - Ground

I use Razer Moray+™ they have no remote function so you have to answer the call on the phone. But you have a mic and the work good for musik and phone calls.

anyone got an update for this, still looking for ear buds with a mic.

Klipsch Pro Media set(based on the S4i but a bit better build for traveling etc).
Awesome set up with defy. The S5i rugged set is also great as they are moisture proof and very overbuilt.

(measured with a multimeter - hope this helps)

Thx,
Yeah, exactly as you wrote.
I remade cheap handset with remote (from eg. www.ebay.com).
It works with any headphones

I used my original headset on a iphone before. So I assume that every headset that works on the iphone should also work on the defy.

I wonder if Sony Ericsson's headsets work. These seem pretty good:
goo.gl/TquJQ
goo.gl/eQc9W
Would be good if they work.
BTW, I tried Samsung Galaxy SL's Stereo In ear handsfree and the sound quality was just awesome! Might get myself one of those!!

I've tried the iPhone standard headphones and sound works but Mic and controls don't. There is a pair of sennheiser mm50 Nokia. Which will work fine. Ordering one shortly.

Hi
I can confirm that at least not all iphone headset work the defy, even if the pinout is identical. I tried the Sennheiser MM70i and they don't work!
I soldered the mic of the standard Headset to the MM70 and now im happy,
but definitely nothing i can recommend
greetings

earphones headset issue

I have already tried 2 different headsets with my i9000.They were working fine in the beggining but now the left one works in a VERY low volume.I tried with voodoo but nothing changed.Can someone help me with Service Mode.I think there is the problem and the solution .thanks!

U broke ur head phones, simple as that.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda premium

I already said that i have tested another pair and they work fine in listening music etc.When the audio jack is a simple 2way then the music works fine.When i insert a 3way(with mic) audio jack, samsung & 3rd party earphones with mic, one speaker doesnt work even nearly as loud as the other.

Maybe low battery, u may have not noticed low battery.

That's because the 3 way audio jack is meant for apple products, I had this problem before until I realised that you had to hold down the mic button. If you want these to work you can buy adapters on ebay on the cheap.

i have the same problem after installing cm 7.1 - earphones works with any other device, but not with my sgs. holding down mic button doesn't work. I tried to use adaptors added to my urbanears headset (dedicated for nokia / other devices) - still the same issue.

well isnt there any way the Service mode can alter to balance the speakers?I have used voodoo with great results in normal earphones 2way-jack,but on the 3way it becomes a little loud but not as the other speaker!Abput the adaptors i have noticed people who worked for them and people who didnt.What adapter is the most <trustworthy>?

If you are using headset (earphone+mic+remote) for Apple or HTC, get a 3.5mm male to female TRRS adapter.
This will solve your problem.

No i am using the original samsung headset and another headset to check if the samys if faulty!i am fooling around inside service mode but cant find anything.How do i revert any changes back to stock in the Service mode?

anyone get to the bottom of this - driving me mad !
original headset - v low volume - increases when you push mic button
very weird

Original Sammy-made headphones (3 way) work fine on sgs. I had problem like this because I was simply not plugging 'em down and now headphones work normally. Since 3-way female 3.5mm is unified for all devices, you have to try to blow out all dust out of the phone 'cuz audio port isn't covered like usb or this plug in as far as possible.

I am also facing same sort of problem, most of the headphones don't work during call but do work on music

I have tried everything - phones are definitely pushed in properly - port is clean , as asrafw says phone volume on headset is fine for music - just rubbish for calls . Asra does your mic key on headset being held increase volume ?
I have found the opposite - do not push them all the way down then they work fine !

Headphones
You have to buy an iPhone-Nokia adapter, or switch the ground and data pins on any other headphone, which is designed iPhone-style.
To verify that the headset is that kind, if you press the middle button, then you should hear the music clearly.
Or buy headphones made for Nokia or Sony (Ericsson) products.
Even Samsung have changed to the new style with Galaxy Tab, so no proof that if it works with newer Samsung products, then it will work with our phones.

Have you tried a neutral stereo adapter. I got one with my UrbanEars headphones and they work well with it attached.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

Yes, the middle button (mic) does improve volume - so what you are saying is that these headsets never worked properly ever !
Do you have a photo of the adapters you 2 are using - just want to make sure I get it right ,
cheers

This is a pic of my cable. I noticed last night that the headphone plug itself is a little different than the neutral stereo plug in that the neutral plug on has two coloured bands whereas the headphone plug has 3. This must be the difference between I pods and earlier androids.

thanks - I presume that is 2.5mm to 3.5mm convertor ?

Hmmm think its a 2-way / 3-way thing rather than a size thing.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA

so boths end of jack are 3.5mm ?

Bluetooth audio Streaming (LOW VOLUME)

on any other phones tested on this car the volume is great iPHone and Samsung Infuse. I noticed the note is significanly lower volume while bluetooth audio streaming. Does anyone know any bluetooth service menu adjustments for this? I saw a few threads in the GSII guys, and I remember voodoo control on a droid charge i used rooted to get volume acceptable a year ago. What are we doing for the galaxy note to get bluetooth Audio streaming louder. I have tried Volume + apk and it works but it doesnt have clarity and proper bass output. Are rooting and going to ICS solving bluetooth audio streaming volume issues?
I even tested this on my 2011 Jeep Wrangler and my 2007 infiniti. same thing on volume.

I know i cant be the only one..... This is a big deal to me i love music

DSP Manager floating here on xda has separate settings for speaker, headphones and bluetooth - you could try to set BT equalizer to max through all the freqs
PS.: on my Note I have version from this thread, installed according to post #2, works perfectly

I just tried mine with a Sony Ericsson MW600 headset and some Sony headphones i got with an old mp3 player and the volume is really loud, no problems at all.
John.

Well I'm currently on stock rom and it looks like I'd need to root in order to play

Do earphone controls work on v20?

hey guys, i lost my old sony earphones that had a stop button mic, which worked. Now im thinking about going with Shure se215m+ or comparable set which has some form of ios controller. Do they work?
