So I've had my X performance for a little more than a year now, but over the last few months I've had issues with the headphone jack. It's not completely broken, but if the connecter for the headphones moves around at all, the audio stops and needs to be reinserted. Also the remote button doesn't work either. Instead of pausing, it increases volume. It used to pause when I first got the phone though. I don't think it's a compatability issues seeing as they are sony headphones ( Sony MDR-XB50AP/B extra bass earbuds) so I believe they are CTIA. I've already talked to a sony Support team through E-mail, so I've tried the resets and system software repairs and those haven't helped a bit. The phone has also never been dropped or hit so I don't know what's causing this. I can't listen to music when I'm out because every few steps the audio cuts out, while if I were to leave the phone on my desk, the music would play fine. Or if I used an AUX cable to connect it to the car, the volume would go up and down wildly and music would stop and start. I've looked in the jack and see no lint, and I used an Air Can to get anything I couldn't see out. That still didn't work. I tried the Smartkey app, no matter how I set the buttons, it still only increases volume. Is this a common problem with this model because it's all I seem to see when I look up this model? The phone is also out of warranty so it will cost me to send it back and local phone repair shops won't touch it. What can I do other than getting blue tooth headphones which isn't an option. I've used five different sets of headphones, three of which were sony pairs and still no solution in sight.
