Hello Guys,
I have some trouble with my Xperia Z1 compact for some days now. When I plug in a headset, the play/pause button changes the volume instead of handling music player or calls. It behaves like volume keys. But curiously sometimes like Volume Up and another time (after reconnecting with the phone) it might change to Volume Down.
I have no clue, why the phone could change its behaviour out of the sudden. I am not aware of recent software updates or changes in apps, neither of unusual physical effects that could have damaged the hardware.
What I tried so far:
- Tried another Headset: Same result with 3 Headphones, including the original ones that you get from Sony with the smart phone.
- Checked and cleaned the headphone socket
- Checking for software updates
- Checking and deactivating Software like Smart Connect and Smart Key. Cleaned their cache and app data. And after that tried two third-party apps.
- Restarted the device several times and tried the Save Mode as well
- Also tried a hot fix by mapping the Volume keys of headsets simply to play/pause function with above mentioned apps. But that doesn’t work either?!
- Cursed a lot
I have already read here several treads with similar problems, but they all concluded in incompatible hardware. But in my case it must be something with the phone, unless all three headsets broke as once. But is it a problem with software or the hardware? How can I find out? And most interesting for me: How can I fix this ******?
I hope you guys have an idea. Because I don’t want to miss any of my headset Buttons.
