Hi! 🙋
I am using iPhone ear buds for my Lumia 930 a lot time now. But the last few days they just don't work! (tested in other devices and work fine). My phone is on denim update, is there a limitation in which ear buds to use? Or my devise has a hardware problem?
Thanks in advance!

Did you try a different set of earphones to verify that it's the phone? That should be the first step :)

That sounds crazy... am using ipod's earpods and it works fine even after updating to denim. Just wondering how can software update affect headphone compatibility....

I know that; you know that.... but when people are worried they will look for every possible thing that can help explain the problem :)

It must be possible, surely? Something has to switch between Apple and standard socket wiring depending on the type of 4 pole inserted. I assume this is some kind of software control. If so, a hard reset might solve it.

I have sol earphones. One day, they worked fine. Next day, the right side didn't work.
I plugged them into another device and they worked fine.
Then I plugged a different set of earphones into my 930 and they worked fine.
Wtf?!
