Twice now i have lost the prompt sounds off MSVC also the sound from the camera. Last time i ended up doing a hard reset to fix it.
Has anybody any ideas what the problem is and how to fix. I dont want to go through the pain of another hard reset.
Edit... Also noticed i have no sound when pressing the buttons to dial out.
I don't know how to fix it but I'm getting it a little bit too. By "a little bit" I mean that most of the time now the VC sound does not sound - but every once in a while it does.
Don't know much about the camera sound as I don't use the camera that much. I do know the camera sound. Again, I think sometimes it works and some times it doesn't.
This "sometimes works - sometimes doesn't" thing I think is more a result of simple slowness of the processor. IOW sometimes what's supposed to happen just happens way later due to the processor being busy. Not very useful when it comes down to the VC sound as that sound is supposed to indicate to you that it's ready to listen to you. What good is that sound if it has already stopped listening?!?
A sound I would want, but so far I have not heard it, and I don't know if it's supported anymore but WM 5.x used to play a little sound when your bluetooth headset connected to your phone. That sound doesn't seem to be present in WM 6.1. Is there are a way (registry trick) to set a sound indication for BT connection. (Note this is not the same as Connection Established notification that you can see under Settings. That's for Internet Connection Established or perhaps Data Connection Established but not for Bluetooth Connection Established.

Its not ringing when a call comes in. It also does not vibrate.
The sound is up on the PPC and Ringer and if i go in to the phone settings it will play a ringtone fine.
Any ideas?
may be a reset might help? It also happened to me and after a reset, it all works good.
Don't know if it's the same thing with me, but my kaiser also at some point of day refuses to ring (still vibrates ok). It won't play mp3s with GSPlayer or MediaPlayer. Sometimes you can hear the song playing really quietly (only hear it if you press your ear to speaker).
It has happened like that for 3 days now. The sound will come back if I hit the tytn II gently (more like knock it). Althoug since today I'm not sure if it's the knock or the keyboard moving wich brings the sound back.
Any ideas?
What I've tried so far:
- Muting, unmuting
- changing volume
- soft reset
hard reset it. may be some programs you've installed might be conflicting. If the hard reset don't fix your problem, then you have a faulty unit. You can also try pocket mechanic to clean the registry and stuffs. Very helpful program.
Ok, will try hard reset.
Although I doubt it will help. Before hard reset, there was some very faint sound coming from the speaker. And speakerphone didn't work at all.
Back to resetting...
Try to change the ring tone to a different one, mine was doing the same thing it would only virate, I changed to a different ringtone and it worked fine.
I did try to change the ringtone. Every time the problem emerged. The problem was that the ringtone wasn't the only thing not playing. There was no sound for any of the events. And the speakerphone option also didn't work.
I did a hard reset last night. It didn't help. So I gave it up and went to sleep. I left my tytnII on a USB connection to my laptop. In the morning I checked if the problem was still there and found that the sound is back - the ringtones work.
I put it back on USB connection to sync. Copied an mp3 to test if it can play it (it has played it before). And there the sound went again - I can only hear it playing faintly if I hold the speaker to my ear. The ringtones won't even play when I check them in notification sounds setup - not even the default built-in ones.
Could it be a temperature issue? The tytnII sound was fine when I picked it up in the morning, it was room temperature. But it gets slightly warmer when I charge it or sync it.
I have done soft resets. I can play sounds in the phone settings options and music plays it will not vibrate when calling.
Resolved it was the 3G Dialer app causing the issue.Now i need a new one i hate the orange look....
I had an issue like this, but it was due to ringtones stored on the storage card ... and when the phone would wake up, since it takes the storage card driver a few secs to load, it wouldn't ring.... and I resolved it by moving my everyday ringtones to main memory
the thing is the rings are not on the card......
Maybe its the rom's radio
sleuth started to explain this in his upgrade however no one explains how to downgrade the radio. I believe mine is doing the same thing however I get no sound. maybe its the radio.
Draqula, did you solve your problem? Im having the same issue on my tytnII. I cant hear ANY SOUND. But if I play an mp3, for example, and I knock close to the speaker, the sound starts.
Any ideas?
My problem solved: The speaker was changed under warranty.
Hello,
Recently I started using windows media player in my diamond and it was working really good. But for about a week now my phone have been starting to call up random people in my phonebook, several times in a row. I always put the phone in lock mode and put the phone to sleep. But still it continues to call up people and it's kinda annoying when your friends get pissed because your phone accidentely called them up at 6am in the morning haha.
Anyone else have the same problem?
I am pretty sure that you are using some extUSB adapter ( 3in1 ) and that is the reason. If it is poor quality the cables very often loose the isolation and in result occasionaly connect causing effect like with normal headset and double click of active button which is normally redial.
I hope I helped
Awesome reply
I checked my headset and you were right. I pushed the headset button and it automatically redialed. Can I configure this setting so it won't happen again?
Best Regards
i also having this problem....anyone help?
Same here.
There are other threads about this problem.
Still looking for a solution like, let's say a registry hack that disables the headset button...
HELP
i have the same problem and i have nothing connected with the device locked so it couldn't be me.
can someone make some software to stop all calls unless code is entered.
Hello, greetingz to all. I recently purchased used Xperia, and it worked well untill few days ago, when i start to have problems with microphone (in phone). The sound reception is very poor and people i talk to can barely hear me or not hearing me at all. I tried all and nothing works, except when i connect headset in vibration-only mode. Then the reception of the sound from the headset microphone perfect. But not when the sounds on the phone are on, or in any other case. I also tried does it record sound on video or audio for MMS - same thing, just crackling noise.
I would appreciate if anybody could help with this. Thanks in advance.
P.S. I did hard reset, i did reinstall software from SE Update (even i had most recent one), nothing happened.
Same problem here!
But i can use the headset when the sound is on.
Im afraid i lose my phone for a while, again. I had software problems before.
I think i will burn a good rom when it's back.
in settings->system->Microphone AGC
turned on ?
AGC == automatic gain control which mean the mic adjust it's sensitivity according to the volume of the surroundings
Rudegar,
i wish i read your tip before i brought it to the shop
but i think it would be standard because i also tried a hard reset?
there is also a crack in my xperia, so i sent it anyway
greets, robbin
Here is the deal...
I often have no choice but to leave my phone upstairs where it can get a signal while I go downstairs to cook, watch television etc...I've got a fairly big house so I can't hear the phone make any noises, which sucks because if my girlfriend messages me I might not get it for a while.
What I need is to push the notification sound through my bluetooth speaker...so I can hear it downstairs. Is there a way to do that? I've searched and tried everything I can think but all I get are tiny little beeps that are barely audible.

Hmm... I found that when playing music on my car's bluetooth system, notifications stop the music, and I hear like the last part of the notification noise. I feel that short beeps don't register quick enough for the bluetooth to transmit so it truncates some of it. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, bluetooth has a sleep state to consume less battery, so even when connected to an audio device there's a slight "delay" of audio being played to the system due to having to establish a connection and relaying the audio. It just isn't as real-time as we'd like it to be. Honestly, I don't think there's a way to fix this due to the nature of how bluetooth works and the sleep state it has to reduce battery consumption. Maybe you can use a really long notification that lasts longer than 5 seconds to ensure it can be heard over your speakers?

Thanks for the reply, very helpful. Maybe you are onto something there with the longer notification tone, I may set up a sound profile profile purely to use at home on Bluetooth where the notification noise is actually the same as my ringtone.
I just got a 128 GB OnePlus 3T a few days ago to replace a dead Nexus 6P. So far I'm very happy with the phone (performance, screen, etc, camera is almost as good, blah blah) except one thing.
My bluetooth is completely nuts. Sometimes I will turn it on via Settings or Quick Settings and it will not turn on at all (the slider moves to the right but stays greyed out, then moves back to the left). Other times I am "luckier" and it switches on and begins scanning, and I can see devices in the area. I pair to a speaker dock via NFC or my wireless headphones via tapping on them and the connection is established, you can hear the speakers go "hey something connected".
So that's all fine. But then you start playing music. About 40-60 seconds in it will skip, crackle, or pause the music entirely. Sometimes the device makes its disconnect noise immediately followed by its reconnect noise. At this point pressing 'play' again starts the cycle over again, usually, or sometimes it will just refuse to "talk to" anything any more until you reboot the phone.
The phone came with OOS 3.5.4 out of the box and immediately got an OTA to 4.1.1. I was suspect about the upgrade procedure and sighed and did a full reset and re-flashed the full 4.1.1 image using adb sideload, logged back in, did the barest of minimum updates to the Google apps to make it stop complaining, and then tried music again. More skipping and pausing. My headphones have a volume up/down key on them, pressing that pretty much immediately results in a disconnect.
It's like the AVRCP (command) bluetooth protocol is "fighting" the A2DP audio stream protocol? It doesn't make any sense. This would also explain why my car audio has NEVER worked, because my head unit uses AVRCP to read track names and my headphones and speaker dock don't have any sort of screen to speak of.
I want to love this phone and don't want to pay double for a similar Pixel, but I might just have to return it if it's effectively useless at one of the main things I have a phone for! :crying:
Hmmm...My Bluetooth connection never have that issues. I used Bluetooth headphones and my car head unit. Running oos 4.1.1 as well.
Try dirty flashing your ROM, there might be something wrong with the drivers. Bluetooth commands (volume, pause, voice assistant, skip, etc.) work find on my headset, I don't believe its a compatibility issue.
If that fails, it might be a hardware defect?
I don't have problems with Bluetooth im using sony wireless earphones everyday. Try reformat the phone
Hi!
Android Nougat has heavy issues regarding bluetooth connectivity. If you Google it you will see...
I have the very same Problems like you with my car radio...
This must be finally adressed by Google.

Huh? Must be an compatability issue between the BT device and your phone. I have 6 active BT devices I use all the time with this phone and my tablet. Car stereo, fitnessband, speakers and inear plugs.
Only issue I sometimes face is the 'stuck in connecting to last used device' where BT needs to be turned off and on again. Wouldn't call it a heavy issue.
bluetooth perfect here. better than my lg g3 that i had previous.
So, more info. If 2.4 GHz WiFi is active in ANY WAY, the bluetooth goes nuts. AVRCP (bidirectional commands) make it worse. Putting the phone in airplane mode to disable the "ambient" wifi location scanning and such, then turning bluetooth on manually and playing some downloaded music, seems to work fine. Switch the WiFi on though (even though my access point is 5 GHz), bam down the toilet. Ugh.
I did a complete reset and flashed OOS 4.1.1 from adb, no improvement. I'm trying the Open Beta 4 right now but I doubt it will be any better.
Did you turn off the scanning feature?
Happens to me like once every 3 days. I usually reboot by then

Hi, I have the exact same phone and been having stuttering performance with Bluetooth and Sony MDR-X330BT and worked fine with the 1+ 3. I decided to tell the phone to forget the headphones and start afresh; big mistake headphones kept refusing to pair. I noticed they have the NFC symbol on one of the earpads so I enabled NFC and used app I had downloaded a while back, 'Tap-and-Pair' that did not work either. I did a search today and found a great app that worked - 'NFC Easy Connect' from the Play Store. Now all I need is stable connection from car system which appeared to be tied in with length of screen life before going to sleep but think it may be faulty Twingo as been on the car forum and found others with similar issues but different smartphone to the 1+ 3T. Hope this helps.
