[Q] Apple Earpods aren't detected on CM 10 - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey guys, i've just bought the Apple Earpods and after trying them on my iPod Touch 4g, I tried them on my phone. They weren't detected. I looked for info about it and in this forum I saw that i had to download soundabout. I did, but Earpods aren't still detected. Does anyone have an idea of this problem ? Thank you all !

It's blindingly obvious. You can't use Apple earphones with Android devices because they were made for Apple devices. These earphones will contain hardware that can only be used with Apple devices. No matter what program you use, you won't get the same experience from it as compared to using it with an Apple device.

Looks like Earpod is not supported by Sony phones, not a software issue. Incompatible headset notification appeared on Sony stock Rom. But, when I tested it on my friend's Samsung Galaxy Note 2, it worked.

It's not an Android's problem because I tried them on my bro's phone and they worked.
Isn't there any solution then ?

I believe Arc uses OMTP audio jack
Will earpods are TSSP (like most other phones)
U can find OMTP to TSSP adapters/converters online

It's not a software thing, it's hardware related.
It's the 3.5mm jack itself. The 2011 xperia phones are made with OMTP standard jacks. But most of the new headsets are made on the CTIA standard.
The difference is the switched ground and microphone place of connection.

As you see it on this picture.
You could buy a adapter or cut the cable and switch the connections yourself (not recommended )
Altough, any headset WITHOUT a microphone will work on both devices

Try using bluetooth for music before buying anything. Sony have screwed up and bluetooth playback stutters like anything!

I've used my senheisers with a sony mw600 as i dont always use BT.
I have used a pair of sony Ericsson is800s which are similar to what your looking at, and I've been happy with them.

Mine doesn't stutter at all unless I am surfing the web and even then wired headphones stutter too.
Only the odd stutter over a wired connection, but blue tooth is terrible when listening to media. Stutters with music every few seconds. Videos can be unwatchable

Looks like, but my box isnt write droid, only Motorola, and the colors are black with some details in white, but maybe this one is a Verizon version, or something like that...
Its a bit expensive, but I never heard a better sound for a cellphone wireless headset(at least the headsets that I tested)...
Novero Rockaway
I just purchased a set of Novero Rockaway, RRP 55 GBP. I'll let you know if there's any stutter with these (will test with my Acro S, and my Mrs's Xperia S)

[Q] What is the best headphone+mic headset?

As title states, I have a Jawbone Icon HD headset which I really like but I would also like to get a good pair of earbud+mic that doesnt require the adapter. Can anyone who owns the original earbuds the XP came with detail the model # and or a mice alternative?
I have seriously purchased like 3 pairs of earbuds+mic only to be disappointed, mostly because I have to use the adapter or I get the "device not supported" notification.
Any suggestions on alternatives and the model # on the stock earbuds+mic that our phone came with would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all in advance.
Anyone?

Well basicly you want any headphones with omtp wireing....what is your price range?

Or you could use basically any headphones with this adapter. I bought it myself, and it works with all headphones with a microphone/play-pause button.

Basically OMPT is the type of headphone jack that is in the XPlay. So if you got OMPT headphones, you won't need to use the adapter. Why don't you want to use the adapter? lol. Personally, I haven't owned any OMPT headphones, but I heard from a few friends that the XPlay's stock headphones are pretty decent.
If you still are going to buy standard headphones w/ mic, to use with the adapter, I'd go for these. I've owned them for more than 6 months, and they are probably the best. In terms of sound, mic, and build quality.

Apple EarPods

Hi all,
I'm planning on getting some Apple EarPods for my Nexus 4. I can take calls and other things using the remote. I'm not too sure on the fitting though, should be ok.
Part no. MD827ZM/A
But, my main concern is that I might need some buds/covers/tips for them.
Does anyone have a pair of Apple EarPods along with buds/covers/tips what ever you want to call them, usually provided with regular earphones. Picture added below.

I really need to know if the regular buds/covers/tips will fit the Apple EarPod.
Please let me know, many thanks.
not working
I'm using my iphone earphones for my music, but it's not possible to use the volume buttons so you need to change the volume with your mobile phone.
This headset is only compatible with Apple devices, so if you're looking for new earphones, please buy android compatible ones!

I too use my old iPhone 5 earbuds with my new Galaxy S4. I like the fit and feel of them better. It's a drag that the volume doesn't work, but I live with it. Sorry I can not help you with covers for them, I do not use any on mine.

I bought it yesterday: wonderful!!!
The volume is so hig that my marantz amp warns me of possible peaks: gotta turn down the volume a little...
Have been using it for some weeks now: The audio quality is perfect and the range is impressive!
Thank You so much for posting this! I picked one up from MacMall for $44.99, coupled it with my LG G2 and Mazda's AUX, and it sounds way better than all the previous BT receivers I tried.

I bought this and it's terrible! Cuts in and out, and unusable. Perhaps I have a defective unit? I have it INSIDE a cabinet, with the door closed, but I thought that's ok for bluetooth? Using with an xperia z1 not 10 feet away...

Anyone who owns this still following the thread? I didn't touch this for a couple weeks and tried to use it again. It was fine at first, and then after about 30 minutes started getting choppy again. I tried opening the cabinet door to see if it would help. I was no more than 20 feet away and with line of sight. Could it be on the phone side, cpu can't keep up with the streaming? So confused. I have another sony bluetooth speaker unit (SRSBTX300B) and it's never choppy when I use with with my Z1. Still beyond dissapointed. What's worse is that my receiver (AVR 2700) has airplay support that is seemless, but absolutely non-functional with android. I got the BM10 in an effort to solve this and it's just causing more issues. It's as though the universe is telling me I should have stuck with Apple (FML).
Same here after 4.3 firmware
Probably this i related to Bluetooth problems in 4.3

I tried switching to 5.2Ghz wifi 2.5Ghz last night for my LAN last night, but it was still choppy. So disappointing. I will try my bluetooth speaker again to test whether it is the phone or the BM10.
This BM10 is such a boutique device, there doesn't seem to be much data about it on the internet.
requirements?
Haya people,
I know this is a xperia accessory officially, however upon reading some reviews
(used with non sony products) I bought one, and I am having connection issues. I am capable of connecting my S5 easily. However when i attempt to connect my nook HD plus it just wont detect it. I've pressed the button not pressed it, rebooted etc etc... I'm at a loss!
Please help! What does this need to stream music at its most basic? Can the NookHD+ do it?!? I cant seem to find much imfo for support, it just says xperia products...
I have 2 nook HD+'s 1 running CM11 and one running stock. neither can connect. but my S5 will...

Connect to two Bluetooth headsets simultaneously?

I want to buy two in ear Bluetooth headsets to use as wireless headphones to listen to music with. I've been researching if it's possible to sync two headsets to one phone, and from what I've seen, whether or not this is possible is largely hardware dependent. I was wondering if any of you have done this with the i747 and can confirm it works before I buy anything
Just to be clear, I'm not talking about multipoint, which allows one Bluetooth headset to sync with two phones.

should do. i can connect to car stereo and a jbl flip at the same time.
I personally did this but with two different brand units. They never seemed "in sync" with each other. I suppose using the same models may have solved that issue but wasn't able to try. Instead a purchased a pair of Motorola Bluetooth ear buds and love them.

That's good to know, I just bought two of the same model, so hopefully it'll just work. I'll report back results
So they just came in and my phone will only sync one at a time. Gonna keep doing research but I'll post findings here since a lot if this seems to be hardware specific

I just tried this also, with two identical DB power Mini Bluetooth earpieces. Only one will pair at a time, so it doesn't work with these either, just so anyone interested in these knows ahead of time. You can set one up for phone audio, and one for media audio though, at the same time.
