Fortunately, a large number of mobiles continue to offer the possibility of using both classic headphones with the 3.5mm jack and the option via Bluetooth. Many Xiaomi phones offer these options. However, it is very common that the mobile does not detect the headphones , so we will have to be very sure and discard some variables before blaming the mobile.
For many users, headphones are almost as important as the phone itself. Hundreds of kilometers traveled a year by metro or bus to spare. Music lovers also prefer to enjoy it with their favorite headphones, while they are also perfect for watching a movie or series. When our mobile phone does not detect the headphones, all these functions disappear.
How to fix the problem
Try other headphones
It seems obvious, but if we try other headphones and the problem disappears, we can stop going crazy looking for other culprits. Even if they are new or have never failed, it is the first step before consulting other ways to find the problem.
Restart the mobile
Restarting the phone works in a vast majority of cases. Releasing the system cache often eliminates compatibility issues. To do this we leave the power button on and click on restart. Then we just have to reconnect the headphones and try again.
It’s dirty?
Another method is to clean the connectors, since the dirt that accumulates in the 3.5mm jack can make the phone not detect them. In this case, it is best to follow the best steps to clean these connectors , since it must be done with the utmost care and with the appropriate tools.
Turn off Bluetooth
If you have Bluetooth activated, try to deactivate it and try to connect the headphones again. If a previous pairing has been made, the mobile may have problems detecting the connected headphones. Once done, we restart the mobile and test again.
Detected but it doesn’t appear
This is one of the most common errors on Xiaomi phones. When we connect headphones, their icon will appear at the top of the screen , next to the notification icons. This may be because we do not have the option activated and therefore we can think that the headphones have not been detected by the mobile. To be able to activate it we have to go to Settings / System / UI Configuration. At that time we will see several options and we will have to make sure that the headphones are activated.
