[Q] Sound issue after update? - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My phone's audio is sounding incredibly lacking at the moment. I've got the audio maxed but it's barely audible and as far as I know it hasn't come into contact with any water today. It was working fine earlier and the only thing that I've done on it today has been it's update so I'm not sure if they've coincided. I'm going to sleep on it, maybe some water did splash onto the speakers or something, but I will try to update in the morning. Has anyone else had this issue?

Try this mod, it worked for me

I feel like mine has become very 'tinny' sounding after the update, definitely not been near water/liquid at all either. The volume loudness is fine though

You can flash the acid sound mod to improve the overall sound quality and volume.
Thank me if I have helped you.

Well after a good nights sleep and a full charge its back to about 90%volume so I'm not sure exactly. It's definitely slightly quieter than before the update. About the mod, do I need to root my phone? Sadly I'm not too experienced in doing it and am worried about bricking it (had this been a gaming system rather than I device I rely on daily I'd be all over it)

You can root the phone and leave it bootloader locked, just search the forum.
I would recommend the PureXAudio9 mod for sound volume as Acid mod resulted in a boot loop on Z for me.

[Q] Audio only works after reboot

The audio both from the speaker and headphones only seems to work after a reboot. I have no idea when it stops functioning.
This was a problem from day 1 with the free elephant kid book using the Read To Me function. I just had it happen with the music player, both the native one and MortPlayer. I had originally assumed it was a glitch with the book.
If a reboot fixes the problem, it's a software issue, right? Why did a search here not produce any similar threads? If I'm alone here, then it's a hardware issue and I'll need to unroot and return it, right?

Your search method must be flawed, as this is a known & frequently discussed issue.

It's defective. Get a new one.
Thanks for the reply.
Now to unroot...
Mine had the same exact problem. Audio usually stopped working after the screen went to sleep for the first time after a reboot. I recently flashed the 900mhz "screamer" overclock kernel and I've yet to have an audio problem since then. As much sense as that does or doesn't make, it seemed to fix the problem for me. Its worth a try. Hope it works for you (if you haven't already unrooted and returned by now)

When you get your hands on the new one, before you leave the store do this. After power on & such, try the audio (V0l + -). Works? Put to sleep for >10sec. Wake & test audio. No-work? Reboot, (Long power press) Try sleep/wake sequence again. If it works you are golden, now check a few other things & go home & root it! If it fails the test, don't let the Nook Genius tell you that you should let it charge for at least 4 hrs. before testing. The three that I have received had between 50% & 90% charge OOB. That's plenty for it to work properly, assuming the battery level meter is accurate. Put together your own checklist based on info on this forum. Crossword to test edges of screen, kbd. when charging from wall adapter etc.
Good luck, when you get a good one they are solid!

Interesting! That would support the thinking that this issue is related to timing & initializing the audio codec or something related. Hardware specs may be skewed just enough for it to not work when waking up. That's actually encouraging! Means that all those with this problem may see a F/W fix if they don't want to re-clock it.
Cheers,

Well, I unrooted and restored it to factory new using the 9 reboot method. This brought the device back to 1.0.0. I then went back to the store. The manager came out, took the device, and said "it needed 1.0.1 to fix the problem. Let me load it for you." I was thinking, "whatever dude. It had 1.0.1 on it and it still had the issue." But the guy was super nice and ran off with the device to some back office. He came back while it was installing 1.0.1 and it's working fine now. I kept trying to get it to recreate the problem with no luck. (So it actually is good luck.)
I'm assuming the 1.0.1 software update didn't install properly the first time.
I could have done all that myself without going to the store.

Nova HD Rebuild Problems

HI guys. I flashed the latest Nova HD build last week, and up till now it has a few problems.
Speaker not working (the normal one not the in-call speaker)
I tried playing videos on youtube and games and even my music but it does not work at all, I checked and all the volume settings are full. I have tried many solutions like rebooting the phone, reflashing the rom, blowing the speakers. It's worth noting that the sound works on my headphones when they are plugged in. HELP?!
Glitch-y notification bar
Sometimes the notification bar toggles cannot be seen and the whole notification drop-down is blank. For this one I have no idea what is going on but when I open an app or something like that and then exit the notification bar comes back. This one is just irritating, nothing much though.
Battery life isn't as good as claimed but small issue, I lived through a short battery life on my Motorola Atrix before the screen got smashed after I unbootlocked it.
Thanks in advance!!
Also..
It's worth noting that it's not a hardware issue I believe as the speaker was working on the MIUI Rom I flashed on it when I got it as a gift and never touched it until recently, and the headphone icon in the notification bar does not show up when the headphones are plugged in, and I can't remember if this is supposed to happen.

In cwm made ​​three and flash ROM format. in aroma intaller not reformat and install the basic version (no custom). so try to find out if you have the same problem. What's important not to restore the system app with titanium backup.
Sorry for my English.
I'm sorry I didn't really get you. Are you suggesting that I flash a stock rom without backup and then switch back or flash a basic version of the rom without backup? Or flash cm9 stock without mods before switching back?

I dont have any bugs like you. Just try full wipe before flash the rom again.
Sent from my LG-P990 using xda app-developers app
Actually you need to format 2 cache and not the third (date format / factory) that will also clear the rom.In this condition do not lose anything of your information. From there, install zip from sd / sd choose zip and flash rom nova. In aroma installer asked you to select rom based (you choose the first three options) and install.
Inviato dal mio LG-P990
Sorry
Hi guys, sorry for the late reply, I've been busy at school lately. Well I've basically redownloaded the rom, completely wiped the phone, including the dalvik cache, installed the rom free of any tweaks, before reinstalling the desired rom, and both have no effect on the speaker. I'm really lost but I can't really be bothered to unroot my phone and send it in, and still have to pay for it.
p.s. I have another problem. Sometimes while scrolling, the scrolling isnt smooth esp. when trying to add widgets etc. or change the app operations. Like the words all blend together for a while like it's laggin before returning to normal. Is this normal?
Thanks for all your input!
Did you try to match RIL? Download getRIL (search in google play) and see if your RIL is matching. I'm new here, so I'm not sure if what I'm saying is correct, hehehe.

[Q] New HTC One Owner - Which ROM?

Hi All,
I've recently purchased the HTC One and flashed it with Android Revolution for 4.2.2
There are some small issues that I don't like with the phone which are:
- Camera isn't very good
- It gets warm often (even after browsing the web > 10mins)
- Volume steps are not to my liking (coming from IOS) - too large of a gap when hearing music
I've recently discovered ElementalX which has thermal options, maybe this will fix the warm phone issues? Anyone have experience with it working well with phone temps?
I'm not sure how to fix the camera, is there a ROM/Kernel that improves it?
There is a volume step fix out which doesn't do anything to the volume but increases the steps - so I guess there isn't a fix for this yet.
In conclusion, I think I've overloaded the phone trying different kernels (I like the HTC logo option to turn on/off) and I'm thinking of starting from scratch again. I want a near stock ROM e.g. Android Revolution - or should I just put stock on there (will root access still work on a stock rom if I've installed SuperUser ?)
Does ElementalX work on any ROM with 4.2.2?
What's the best ROM + Kernel for the things I want? Should I go back to stock + ElementalX? Will that work?
Hope someone can help, thanks!!

There are several Volume Step Mods in the Themes / Apps Section.
My personal Setup is ViperRom 2.1 with Elemental 3.4 Kernel but my Battery get on 42 Degrees so its not a heavy Problem when u can live with the temps
The Cam is a 4Ultrapixel so u dont get more then 4MP but u get 300% more Light on Night Shots...
If you want a rom like Android Revolution, why not go with Android Revolution? I'm using it with ElementalX.
The thermal options will make your phone run cooler, but it will impact performance somewhat. There are mods for the volume steps.
And for the camera, it's nothing without Zoe, so I'd recommend a Sense rom if you want at least somewhat nice pictures.

I've tried the volume mod but although the number of steps increases, the volume doesn't. So it acts like you don't have a mod to change the volume but just increase the number of steps (if that makes sense)
Did you get 42 degrees with the thermal option set? Is that under heavy load?
I can always see pixels (dots) on the camera which is why I said it isn't very good, maybe it works better outdoors. Isn't ViperRom heavily customised? I'll have a look anyway.

Your signature says you're using Stock! Anyway I was really just asking if it's worth installing Android Revolution if I can still get root access with the stock rom? Is that possible? Maybe I'll stick with Android Revolution.
Is there a way to remove these Kernels that I've added (can't remember which one I got) - should I just reflash Android Revolution without wipe? I don't want to lose stuff e.g. apps/contacts/bookmarks etc.
Do the thermal options slow the phone down? It is quite annoying at the moment that the phone decides to get warm whenever I start to use it, to do anything!
Thanks

ARHD contains a lot of optimizations, as mentioned in the thread. Reflashing a rom will also re-install the kernel (if it's included in the rom .zip). Seeing as you have root access, you can easily back up your apps using Titanium Backup, and you can sync the contacts + bookmarks with your Google account so they'll be automatically re-added. But as you're already on ARHD, it probably can't hurt to "dirty flash". Just make sure to make a backup in case anything goes south.
And you're right about my sig, I'll edit it now

ViperRom based on Stock Sense Rom with a bunch of Tweaks
and the 42 degrees are under heavy load like high performance games e.t.c.
greeetings
and the camera has greater pixels for more light thats the 300% light extra
Installed the new update to ARHD + ElementalX with thermal set to cool. It does seem to have cooled down slightly which is good! It's a bit early to tell if it really is cooling it down though.
The only issue I have now is that "Keep" keeps closing unexpectedly. I have disabled it for now. Anyone know why Keep keeps crashing and how to fix it?

I tried a few ROMs before I landed on the stock Google Play Edition 4.3 Conversion. Loving it so far, it's very clean compared to both stock sense and the other ROMs that I tried.

Yea I gave GPE a go today and almost immediately missed sense, Nothing wrong with it, infact it looks great and performed well, I just missed sense.
HTC have done a great job this time round.
However I've got my eye on Paul's Modaco switch rom, which looks to tick all the boxes, only problem i can foresee is the inability to use custom rom's for the switch, I'm not a great fan of stock sense, I like colours and mods too much
Each to their own.
Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'm gonna stick with ARHD + ElementalX for now
I don't want to move away from sense otherwise I could have got a nexus 4 instead, and I like blinkfeed.
I tried a vid today and the phone didn't warm up that much,!! Maybe it's also because I used airplane mode and battery saver at the same time too.
Now I just gotta fix my other problems like find a better video player than vlc which seems to have some slight sync issues. Try to get my klipsch headphones to work better I.e. button controls and get this volume step issue sorted! Any suggestions for any of these?
Maximus HD 12.1.0 FTW
So far my favorite Rom. JB 4.3 with sense. Best of both worlds! Also has 4.1.2 speaker volume & can add CRT-off animation

Thanks I'm using some headphones controller which works ok. Sometimes I have to double tap a million times before it works tho which is quite annoying. Setting speed to slower or faster doesn't help.
Using bsplayer for vids seems good no sync problems. So many roms to choose from! I'll stick with ARHD until 4.3 officially is supported by apps and released. This phone is slowly getting better thanks for your help all.
Another question... When I send a SMS and select a contact they appear more than once because its looking at the phone and SIM card at the same time. Is there a way to only look at the phone so I don't see duplicates?

Hey i got another big issue ....i m upgrading from xperia s and trust me sound level of xperia t is very low compared to xperia s ....xloud is enabled....what rubbish....i was expecting even loud sound .....can we port xperia s xloud app/settings to xperia t?? is that make a difference?
Regarding 2nd "issue", I don't think it's an issue at all. I'm having the same experience with my every previous phone. When you're downloading some bigger app from Play Store, and screen goes off (locking) in the meantime, it won't finish installing app untill you unlock screen again. I don't know is this some "intentional" Android feature, or what, but I don't consider it issue, as it doesn't affect phone usage at all.

My previous phone was Xperia Arc S, which sound is regarded being among louder ones, so yes, I also noticed a bit quieter sound levels, but not that terrible. I'm rarely using external speaker for multimedia playback, I'm always using earphones, but even when I do, I didn't notice that sound is that low. What appears much quieter to me, are system sounds, like screen lock, camera shutter, key sounds, etc... But like I said, when it comes to music/videos, it is not that bad to me. Also, I'm on latest stock JB.

Question Redmi Note 10 Pro - No sound at all - Mic doesnt work. Screen Recorder doesnt work.

My RN10Pro is experiencing a rather serious issue. I was about to open a game (Fate Grand Order), it freeze then crashed. Then no sound was playing at all on any apps (youtube, music ,etc). It also cant record audio from mic. No audio from calls. Can someone help?
Other Symptoms:
- Dolby Atmos is stuck in Toggle ON. I cant turn it off. I always left it OFF before the problem. I havent turned it on before.
- Going into sound effects in settings result in crash and error.
- Poweramp music player reports "No Audio Device"
-ALL APPS dont have any audio.
- No audio comes out even if I plug in my Earphones with a mic.
- Plugging my phone to charger doesnt create the Charge sound that it usually do.
METHODS THAT I HAVE ALREADY TRIED.
- Factory Reset - I have tried 2 factory resets already. Both didnt work
- Restarted phone multiple times - Still no sound
- Tried Safe Mode - No luck
- Cleared cache from Boot Screen. No luck
Any help pls T_T

As long as you are on seller's OS, try also to give them a call or write to them. This way you'll get both "official" assistance there and FOSS here.
If the official does not help, you may always try to unlock the bootloader and to install the same (but debloated) Miui OS or try a free one.
Hope you manage to resolve the issue. We all know how time and mind consuming are all these troubles. Good luck!

Generally speaking, which custom ROM is the most bug free or stable one? I have a feeling that this is a software/OS problem due to how the nature it occurred.

There is no one and sole answer to your question. It depends on the hardware components, on how you use your phone and even on the sequence of installations.
For example, I unlocked bootloader on my Redmi and installed CrDroid which had a very good battery run time. A couple of months later I had to reinstall the OS because after OTA update I lost root and could not regain it via usual tricks. So, clean installed the same CrDroid. And now the battery consumption is visibly higher. Why? No answer. I have to search for new tricks.
So, even if you found an OS which fits your needs, you are not guaranteed to pass next years in a small country house contemplating roses.
Hello!
Having the exact same problems. Phone became defective on its own. Never rooted or flashed. All of a sudden Adobe Audio is stuck on and no audio, no recording or playing videos and no mic function. I can only write and browse with the phone. If anyone found a solution other than a motherboard swap let me know.

Nope bro, still havent solve it. Based on some research I have done, the root cause might be a faulty mainboard. . I just reverted to using my old Samsung A50 for the meantime.
same is happening with me from yesterday
Did anyone found fix or visited service centre? Also how and when did your device having audio issues @Mattfun @Sepepe_GCL @la98kraja
Same with me...
The front cam stopped working on 1st July,
Since last 4 days (29th September), the mic and speakers are not working.
In fact, the phone doesn't even boot normally, only safe mode works.
In safe mode too, cam, mic and speakers don't work.
I took a bug report and sent to Feedback team. No response since 2 days...
How effed up am I?
Did anyone try qfil rom ?
I emailed xiaomi italy. i had bought the phone 1.5 years ago and this is obviously a factory defect. Since moving houses and everything i have lost the original box of the phone with the bill in it and i dont have proof of insurance even though xiaomi told me through emails that my imei shows that the phone is under warranty but they wont take it in without a bill from the shop i got it from. the shop now post covid has closed bcs of the general crisis Italy is in.
i believe it strongly to be a motherboard or speaker problem. a redmi note 10 pro now flies around 150-200 euros new and a motherboard costs 100 euros. i can fix it myself because i am technically able but i dont think it is worth it. i bought an iphone 11 pro max and im keeping this audioless phone that i cant do much with either until someone finds another fix for it or its battery swells and damages the frame hahahah. might work well as a tinder only phone to hide from your gfs too ahahahahha.
my phone just did the audio thing on its own. one day it was working fine then the other day:
Dolby atmos stuck on
no audio from anything
every video or app that uses audio freezes. only rear camera works but sometimes decides it doesnt want to and only for taking pictures.
reboots became instantly no joke 10 minutes long. like to the point i was worrying it was never going to boot. all this 2-3 weeks before i did my first comment on this thread.
i feel like this is a disservice. xiaomi should aknowledge this problem and maybe take back all the defective redmi note 10 pros and even if they ask me to pay extra for a redmi note 11 pro or 12 i will but take at face value what i paid for their phone already and offer me a solution. i was able to take care of it but what about people who this is their only phone and have no possibility of bying another one a snap of their fingers just because their main is broken. i always used xiaomi products. love their phones and everything and i understand this is a factory defect that might happen to 0.01% of all redmi note 10s but still own up to it as a company.
I have the same problem and when I sent it to the service they said that the motherboard needs to be changed. It's really silly. A phone should not break where it stands!
