Revision history [back]

Two days ago my Xperia X (3.0.1.11) started behaving strange in the volumesettings while listening to music. While in my pocket suddenly a track got paused or the volume got up and down. Then sometimes a track got changed in the middle. I found out it was not a specific behaviour caused by an app. I rotated the earphone plug 360° and there it was: sound volume up and down, music got paused... when i stopped rotating the weired behaviour stopped.

So now putting the phone back in the pocket is not an option anymore, if i want to listen to something... :-(( (I am not yet ready to buy bluetooth erphones because of the stil beta status of the BT connectivity (no offence to the working comunity, you guys rock!...)

It looks like its a hardware issue with the earphone jack. I cleaned it already with a needle to get the dust fibres out, but no change happened.

Has anybody experienced something simmilar?

Any ideas? Maybe some softwaretrick?

The Xperia X has pretty crapy hardware I must say (changed already the camera module), or maybe I just got a so called "monday-product"...

Edit: after I already replaced the camera module in the past, I decided not to also replace the earphone component... and waste even more money. I instead ordered the XA2... now I hope Sony did not F... up the production on that specific device!
