Headphone jack being weird.

[CamilleKills]

I have this weird problem since 2 days, first of all when I turn the phone on and plug in the earphones it plays okay, no disortion no anything. But then I disconect the earphones out of the jack and connect it back in it doesent play through the earphones but the speakers. 

To fix it again I need to restart the phone and then the loop begins again... What could this be? Software or hardware issue?

Just to add to that, my earphones are completley fine and it was tested with my ipod touch 4gen and they play fine. The earphones are from beats (urbeats)

I have ran a repair in SUS and it still doesent work + when I first connect it the screen goes weird...

Are this Sony's headphones or a different brand?

You might want to stop by a Sony repair center

Does anyone have a fix for this yet? I have the same issue.

It's not hardware, it's software that is causing the issue otherwise the headphones wouldn't work when the phone is rebooted.

If you use a set of headphones without the mic you can unplug and plug them back in as many times as you like and they continue to work but as soon as you use headphones that have the mic on them, once they have been unplugged they will not be detected again until you do a reboot of the phone.

I have done a backup and restore on my phone but I continue to have the issue.

Taking it back to a repair center won't help unless they have other software/firmware versions that we can't get.
