The sound quality is great, as is the option to perform tasks using the live key.
Make sure you get the new ones, not the old SE ones.

http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/accessories/smart-headset/

I think the early batch of phonre had the SE earphones, after an exchange i notiched i had the better ones in the second box. Ear phones look really nice altough i havent actually taken them out of the packet yet.

Can't be. The SE earphones will not work properly on the S. (OMTP vs CTIA)

Exactly, I've tried my Xperia S Livesound headset on my Arc S and it doesn't work. Please take note everyone.

old ones only works with xperia 2011 models, new ones for xperia 2012 models, they both seem to have the same model numbers and looks identical according to sony's official web site.

Ooooh lucky you.... I only got the first kind. Had to buy mine separately.

I looking for this headset and i believe the sound quality is good and by read all the comments from all over the media i believing it.
Now comparing both of the head set. First named Livesound and only work for 2011 xperia ( based fr the web ) and the Smart Headset can be use for any phone with 3.5mm jack.
I think sony developing and change their input and socket series.
My choice will be the smart headset, becouse it can be used for any phone

the smart headset does not work with all 3.5mm socket,all xperia 2011 also has 3.5mm, but does not work with smart headset, check sonys site for compatible handsets.

after emailing Sony and being told they couldn't tell me a release date for the smart headset I decided to buy the Jays one+ which work perfectly and have the app from play store due to only having one button

Thats what i said at the older post, the Livesound Hi-fi 3.5mm doesnt work for other 3.5mm phone. But sony claims their new smartheadset 3.5mm could work for other phone.
I suggest come and visit their official site

it's your post that is misleading.
you say the live sound is only for 2011 xperia--true, but other non SE brand phnes may work.
you say the smart headset works with any phone with 3.5mm socket--not true, it will work with many and the ones stated in their site, the xperia 2011 phones also has the 3.5 mm socket, these will not work.

[Q] Earphones

Anyone know of a good set of earphones that will also control the media player? I want to be able to click a button on the mike to pause the music and pick up a call. Then, when the call is over, have the music resume again. I had this on my blackberry, but haven't found it on android yet.

Just bought one, here it costs 62$, but just found one crappy disclaimer from SE site "The products X10, X10 mini, X10 mini pro, X8 will operate call handling (take/reject calls) music handling (play/pause). Please note; volume and LiveKey™ not supported for those products."
Could use a dev opinion, if it isn't the same **** as X10 doesn't support dual touch Because I'm pretty sure that 3.5mm ports aren't specially modified to support simple buttons?
I use MW 600,hi-fi headset. It is bluetooth. Comes in reasonable price. My Friends using nokia, samsung, etc.... Ordered MW600 after seeing its performance!

[Searching] Firmware for LT22 (Xperia P)

Hi @all,
until the Xperia P got certified at ptcrb and now some got it unpacked I wanted to know if somebody could provide the firmware as a ftf file?!
I don't think anyone dumped it yet. Sony doesn't give review units to anyone who asks, you know.

What does this have to do with Xperia S?
There is no Xperia P Forum so I have to post it on Xperia S.
Like some older Post to the Xperia S were postet in the Xperia Arc forum.
That´s the reason.
This came little late, I had a prototype in hand.
Ahhh right that's cool. What's the xperia p like man? Better than the S?

For some reason it was lighter than I expected.
I felt screen was nicer than S (it was brighter with more vibrant colors), but I didn't have both at the same time to compare.
Battery life was OK.
This was prototype and crashing as the software wasn't the retail version but just test one.
Front Camera is VGA but 1.3 on S isn't impressive either.
Things I like:
It fits better in hand rather being bulkier like S.
Screen was nice
Uni-body is really nice
No stupid Flap is totally a plus+++
I loved the power button on the right, need to get used to it but once you do..it makes the whole sense in the world.
Bottom part under transparent strip could have been smaller, at least like S. and that part in this model was plastic for some reason. I thought the whole body is aluminum?
I think 4" size screen is perfect.
Quadrant score I got was about 2200
Those three buttons are on the transparent strip which may be cool. At least they are more visible where they are.
And this model didn't have yellow tint issue and also it was Sony Ericsson. I think more of an earlier built.
Again, uni-body with no flap was awesome and very nice. Phone looks sexy and even sexier than all the videos I had seen before have the actual Xperia P.
Didn't like the speaker...it sounded weird.
anyone here with access to EMMA? Didn't see any Lt26a but there is Lt22i and Lt22a listed.
I hope these info becomes hand .

Maybe you should have read couple post above my last post
I owned recently Sony high end laptop Z series and speaker is as bad as the early production in 90s.
Lets hope retail version is better.
i have the chinese version of the LT22i(Xperia P), it went on sale here in China on April 29th, can anyone guide me how to do it, googling didn't get me far, i would love to provide the ROM for you guys,
That would be awesome if you could provide the firmware...
Slightly off topic, but do we think there will be an Xperia P forum here? and will it get much Dev love?

That is what has stopped me to pre-order them. I believe processor chipset is different and not sure if the Dev, would start working on it.
As far as the forum for Xperia P, there should be one very soon..maybe they are not aware of release in China.
Whats weird is that if phone has gone for sale in China why I don't see in on eBay...usually everything from China goes on there fast.

It just went on sale on the 29th. The firmware sucks as google service is banned from the handset. We are stuck with Baidu and no twitter or YouTube or google play

First off, I am total n00b when it comes to these stuff. in EMMA there is a section where says Download services and has a long list of devices. I don't see any Lt26a...I don't need to have any devices connected for looking at the list.
These might be totally wrong, but there are some interesting number for later headsets. Only God know what is true with Sony.

It depends on which access level you have.
Some can only download FW with connected devices and higher levels can download without a device connected to EMMA.
Crash at video record
Hello! The question to the owner sony xperia p - whether exists at record of video a crash? (sorry for my english - google translate) =)
P\S
Look for video on youtube - "Xperia P 1080p indoor.mp4"
There a strange sound on video

[Q] [XPERIA U] Speaker volume is way too low ...

Dear Xperia U users ... did you find your speaker volume is very low ???? It barely noticable in crowd. The demo XPERIA U demo video said it has Crisp and Loud Sound. But mine is the other way around.
And XLoud feature just make the sound worse. It didn't loud at all (OK it made it louder, but the sound is terrible, like there's crackling sound). Even my previous Nexus S still louder than this.
I really sad

If you need a louder speaker for music, you could try Poweramp player. It has an equaliser preset for the phone speaker which makes it a lot louder!
Maybe it helps!

i gifted xperia u to my sister and its first impression disappointed me..
it f***ing has the same crackling problem, i trashed sony mobiles people hard for this on facebook and everywhere possible...
i talked to sony customer service on this, the rep himself said i am also using the same phone i can understand your situation lol !! can u believe it?!
i asked if i can get a call back from sony for telling that yes they'll improve the speaker volume or not? via futher software updates as that's what's left a chance genuinely, though he said he cannot commint but will mention the same ..
i got a call yesterday even from senior manager of sony, he said to get your phone once updated from a service centre they have a different firmware, i said i even updated it n even repaired it.. he said no they still have a different firmware by which the volume will get high but he didn't commited for the crackling problem then though he said it should also get fine.....
i havn't given my phone as i don't beleive it..... i want to keep it clean and just in 5 days i give it in a service centre no way... so i am counting on its future updates that it gets fine then....
i totally accept xloud makes its sound alot worse like a china phone playing music loud.... i would have understood if it was really loud but in the end its not even loud then why stuttering or crackling?! bullsh*t man !!
I compare it's sound with Xperia P by playing the stock mp3, the P clearly louder than U (and Sola too, it's just as low as U).
Maybe XU is just another failed / defective Sony crap just like X10 Mini Pro / Zylo ...
I managed to live with 4GB storage ... but this is just ... FUUUUUU Sony !!!!!!!!
Maybe the reason is because they still used SE logo instead of SONY on the back cover ...

My God you are so *****in right man, even in its earphone accessory in box, on its tag its written sony ericsson!! wtfffff?!?!
its accessories all has sony ericsson written on it and somewhere its logo like on the back of xperia u, xperia s, xperia p, etc . This means what i believe is sony is first helping sony ericsson to sell of its already created models just adding sony written with few features of sony in it mayb..... as its sony now . Then real sony models totally being sony will start selling off . I may not be totally correct but i am not wrong on many points aswell !
All this hate ??? I can live with that volume happily atleast it has a dualcore processor and a good collection of stock roms... well if you're really looking for a high volume phone then buy a china mobile... to be honest you can't hear anything when you'll be in crowd even if you have xperia x8 right? so be thankful what you have.

CTIA Standard?

Hi! This is my first post.
I bought a handset on ebay. It's designed for the iphone (see pic), so I assumed that, being CTIA standard, it would work with my Xperia S. Wrong! The microphone doesn't work. I tried it on my sons iphone, and it works perfectly. It doesn't work on my wife's Lumia 800 for the same microphone reason.
So, my question is this; Does anyone have any suggestions as to impedance matching etc., of the iphone by comparison to other smartphones? I made a cable to convert the connectors - T-T, R1-R1, R2-S, S-R2, but that doesn't work at all. It does work perfectly on my Nokia E72, however!
Any advice gratefully received!!
Anyone?

After double checking with sony the reason for this is that Xperia S supplies 2V purely from an energy consumption perspective. The microphone in the bundled Sony Mobile headset is Electret microphones that only require a 2V feed. Other suppliers (for example, iPhone headsets) use MEMS microphones that require a minimum of 2,7V.
In order to be fully compatible with all 3rd party headsets, Sony phones need to supply a minimum of 2,7V which it doesn't.
Don't we have any mods or solutions, do we?

It probably would have been better to pose this question to anyone, instead of to these specific two people. We have 1 very knowledgeable/active guy hanging around, but he's not on your list of shout outs.

You're right. Everyone is invited to talk in this thread. If anyone has some contribution (e.g: uploading the full-seg apps from other Xperia devices), it will be great. : )

I was not aware that some Xperia phones were capable of full-seg DTV. Does it make a difference, in such a small display? Anyway, right now I could help only if someone gives me some files from his full-seg firmware, so I can test and possibly make it work on the C6843. To begin with, I would need at least the kernel (including the ramdisk), to compare with C6843's kernel. I've investigated some time ago the difference between C6833 and C6843 to find out what's different in C6843 besides the hardware tuner, and it's only a kernel module, some init.rc changes (which goes into the ramdisk), shared libraries and the DTV app itself.
