HELP! 3.5mm earphone not working on xperia ray

So i have a pair of phillips earphones with 3.5mm* jack but my phone needs 3.5mm and i know i need to buy a adapter.. but which one? female male? i dont understand those..!edit

I see you've made more than a couple of threads on the same topic but they are in different sections of XDA, TBH it doesn't help get you better answers.
You also need to elaborate your problem a bit in detail so that someone could help.
With the little info I have from your other threads it seems that you're trying to get that mic which is in your earphones to work with your mobile. First of all you don't need an adapter as you've 3.5 mm headset along with a 3.5mm socket in your handset which are compatible.
In some cases the mic in the earphones won't be compatible with your device unless & until it's mentioned. So you need to look for another headset with a mic which is compatible with your handset.
Cheers !

The USB port on that device probably does not support MTP, so it can't directly pull music off of the storage. It also was released around 2010ish (Based on a quick Google), before Android got the capability to send audio over USB so it does not support the Android standard. It will not be able to output over USB. You're going to have to use a 3.5mm cable to connect it to the headphone jack on the Nexus to get any audio output.

Ok, thx 4 help. Now i will buy 30pin to mini-jack adapter on ebay .

You can try one of those Apple 30pin <-> Bluetooth adapters. That way you can charge your phone over USB and just send the audio over Bluetooth to the dock. Something like this: http://thewirecutter.com/reviews/the-best-bluetooth-dock-adapter/

Headphone jacks?

So I just have a question does anyone know why some devices don't recognize the L shaped headphone Jack? I recently got the G pad 7.0 and it doesn't recognize it at all the headphones work with the G3 perfectly and when I plug in headphones that have a straight headphone Jack it recognizes them. This has happened before with another phone I had but I'm just wondering if anyone knows why this happens? Or if there's a fix? Please and thank you.

[Q] Is audio via usb possible on a HTC device? (without dac)

Hi dear xda community
Im having a problem with the audio port and wanted to ask if there is a solution.
Due to malfunction of the 3.5mm audio port, my htc butterfly s can no longer play music properly via the 3.5mm audio port.
Atm im searching for a non wireless way to use my phone as an mp3 player.
Is there a way to use the micro usb port to play music, without the need of a external DAC? Im sceptical if just a cheap micro-usb to 3.5mm dapter can work... For this to work there somhow has to be some kind of digital to analog transformation, and i dont know if the micro usb port does so. in the future, Android L should somhow bring usb audio??
But in the end.... you know nothing jon snow =(
So i wanted to ask, what do you suggest is the best way to get arround this problem.
Thx for your help!

You can try a bluetooth speaker.

What can I use the 3.5mm headphone jack for ? Charging ?

Dear Forum.
Most phones have two physical ports : usb port and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
The usb can be used for everything but can I use the headphone jack for anything ?
Example :
The best android tv box is for example my old sony xperia z5 with cracked display. As display is cracked i cant use it as phone but the microphone is top notch for voice controlling my tv if connecting to the sony phone mhl usb port to hdmi port in tv. With a bluetooth mouse/keyboard it is actually better than my win10 slaptop for web browsing considering the plethora of android apps. I have discarded both chromecast and a h96 android tv box as my old sony z5 is way better performing and more versatile.
The problem is charging. When using mhl on a usb ver 2 port(micro-usb) it is not possible charging when output video on same port (only powering the mhl to hdmi port via usb charger) so when looking at the phone I see a 3.5mm headphone jack never used for anything. While manufacturers still equipping phones with the 3.5mm jack Im wondering if it can be used for anything ? (Im considering the behaviour of listening to music all day quite tiresome and slightly sociopathic, Im suspecting some people is using this for shutting other people out). I have seen a "smart button" for 3.5mm jack but it doesnt seem to work when reading reviews, temperature probes with cable to long to have inserted all time and led flash lights to big/to bulky having inserted all time. I have seen a usb to 3.5mm jack but it is unclear how this can be used/recognised by android phone.
What I most of all wishes is to be able charging my phone via 3.5mm jack while the mhl/usb port is occupado when used as android tv =0)
Any tips and ideas is highly appreciated, Iam willing to experiment =0)
Kindly Peter.
