Should xperia go support std headphones?

Luke_Tracey — Tue, 04 Sep 2012 16:29:12 GMT

Hello,

I recived my xperia go yesterday, I recived it with no headphones, this was expected as I got it from the amazon warehouse thing. My question is why doesn't the phone recognize and headphones at all, I have tried std ones, I-phone ones and HTC ones. If I use a manual override such as HTC headphone fix they all work. But I don't want to have to use a widget everytime I plug in headphones.

Thanks in advance

Luke

For headphones or headsets to work with the Xperia go they must use the same standard for transmitting the sound as the phone does.

The Sony Xperia go uses a standard called CTIA. Please check for headsets/handsfree's using the same one.

So you are saying that std headphones (no mic or buttons) will not work/be recognised with these phones. So I cant use the 3.5 aux cable in my car, the aux cable on my stereo etc unless i use a homescreen widget to force the audio out of the headphone jack?

I was rather hopping I had a dodgy phone, this seems a bit crazy.

I can confirm that std headphones DO work with the Xperia go phone. I am using a 3,5 aux cable in my car and Koss headphones without button/mic. The CITA standard is only relevant when connecting accessories with buttons/mics like a handsfree.

Hi Luke, I'll be interested to hear your case getting your doggy phone replaced. Can you give an update when you get it done/failed?

Hope you get successful.

I simply returned it to Amazon explaining the problem for a full refund, and ordered a new one. Not much to tell! New go works absolutely as intended. Thanks again to Alex for confirming that I did have an issue. Luke
