Microphone broke - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have bin on a holiday for a week, using my X1 in the plane as a music player only. After I came back yesterday and I tried to call someone the person could not hear me.
I tried a soft reset, still didn't work. Tried to call an other mobile of mine, still no sound. If I blow very hard in the microphone hole I hear something on the other line.
The only thing I did before leaving on my holiday was uninstalling SRS WOW because I could not change the volume in media player. I tried installing it now but that didn't help.
Also If I try to call handsfree using my bluetooth carkit it does work, but if I try to record a movie with my mobile it does record sound...
Has this something to do with the software or the hardware of the phone? Any suggestions are welcome, thank you.

Sounds like it's software. While you're in call, press the up button on the top right of the phone to turn the volume up.
(I just got my X1 and it's the first thing I could think of)

No that doesn't work, and the strange thing is that my TomTom doesn't give me any sound anymore. And its settings are all ok.
When I turn on my phone then it shows the headset icon for like 2 seconds and then it dissapears because of the some other icon replaces it.

Kaiser will not ring

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.

bluetooth hands free connection problems

1. the hands free wont auot answer & i cant find if there is a setting on the diamond to set this.
2. when i receive a call as sson as i press the answer key it disconnects the phone from the hands free.
any ideas?
thanks
Peter
I had the same issue with other Win mobiles too. Maybe some issue with the windows to bluetooth?
I suspect so, but no one else has mentioned it in other posts
can anyone shed some light?
I don't have this issue at all, I am using Sony Stereo headsets right now.
The biggest issue for me right now is...after I finished using bluetooth, the phone will be muted until I soft reset. And this is relaly annoying!

No problems here pairing it with my car. Maybe a soft-reset can help?
Yea I'm having this issue with the Motorola i710 headset....only mine disconnects after about 4 minutes into a call....same other issues
I'm having problems too with Bluetooth headset/hands free... I'm using Dell BH200 headset which does stero wireless and hand free calling... When I dial numbers I can hear throught the headset, music plays fine through the headset, however it seems as soon as the phone connects/it goes into sleep it drops the headset and the small ear speaker in the handset works... Its annoying... I'm going to test with platronics hands free tomorrow...
Also, when I make a call, like a few seconds after it connects the phone's screen turns off... I thought it was only supposed to do this when you bring it up to your ear i.e. when light sensor in the ear speaker detects little light..?

I think I solved the problem with muting the phone after using bluetooth: using TF3d configuration tool I disabled the music tab. Now i use wm player for music and, during 1 day ,I had no problem - my phone is not going to mute anymore.Please try this method and post here the result. A lot of Diamond users have this problem and is few topics o the forum related to this.

My phone is in a constant "Stereo headset Connected" mode...

I can't make calls, listen to mp3's or even listen to the radio...
Can someone please help...
The last thing I installed on my x1 was Xtrackt game, the Growing panel, the new panel manager, the new Media Xperia Panel.....
I've had that happen a couple of times, I was out and about at the time, and just switched it off/on a few times, as well as reinserting/removing the headphones. That seemed to fix it for me.
i also jiggled the stylus in the headphone socket a couple of times which fixed it ...
Plug in the headphones, lock the phone, unlock it, and remove the headphones again.... hopefully that should solve it.
Thanks for the pointers, its still not working...
arghhhh....this is so frustrating!!!!
wat radio r u using????
well I don't use the radio that often, but the one inside the Media Xperia Panel....
I had this problem too. And got it resolved.
I also had this problem, couldn't use my phone unless i had the headset on. Soft reset, hard reset, put my stylus in the headphone jack, and the headset jack in and back out. Nothing worked. I restored my phone back to the original SPL, and factory restore with the newest Update. Called Sony Ericsson up and they had me send it to a Certify Sony Repair Store. Took about 4 days and i got it back working and seems to be functioning better than before.

Yeah, did the same...
The final option for me would be to take the phone apart myself and reassemble...or take it back to Sony...
i have had same problem and it worked again well after few softs resets. (with a stock rom)
i dint knowed if it this was a "physical error" (something with the conector) or some soft error...
the only good thing is that u can listen the radio without have the headset pluged in
so my question is:
any wat to do this for hearing radio withous headset? LoL
me 2 same problem here ... but what i did was plug in my headset and started up media player listening to music. Then would unplug the headset open the slider keyboard then slide it shut back fast and hard. This I observed by accident as it would glitch i suppose and the headset icon would go away. I would be fine with the phone being able to use without headset.
ive had the same problem in the beginning with my X1. i Found out that if i put my stylus in and move around with it, it will not show the headphone any more. guess the sensor is not worked out so well...
anyway, i can put my stylus in the headphone hole and listen to the radio without headphones
this happened to me when i used the stylus as a antenna - just stick it in there and jiggle it about
camera on and off worked too
I tried all of the above methods and the following worked in the end (i cant make the bug happen again, so I have no idea which steps were neccessary)
I slid the slider open with headset plugged in, unplugged the headset then pressed (accidentally) the camera button on the right side of the phone. When I quit the camera mode the headset icon was gone.
HELP

No sound when ringing or playing audio but OK during conversation

Hello,
My gf's phone (Bell's Touch Diamond, DIAM500?) recently stopped playing sounds, including ringtones, there's no sound when the phone rings, if set to vibrate/ring it only vibrates, no sound at all when playing the ringtones or any other audio file.
However when in call you can hear fine using the earpiece or on speaker.
Volume is set to max, no mute or anything I checked all config everything is fine.
Tried soft reset and removed the battery to no avail.
Does the phone has two speakers? One for the earpiece and one for ring/system sounds? I'm trying to find out if it's a hardware or software problem.
I can't seem to find the Service Manual only for the GSM Diamond.
thanks!
Bump because I am having the exact problem. Someone please chime in.
This problem from IC Sound replace it and it's will work well .​
i do get this issue
i need to tap the top of the mobile really hard and it starts working

No sound in speaker (in phonecalls) after using headset

After using a headset, the phone speaker for phonecalls won't work. I can use the loud speaker at the back of the phone, but not the ordinary speaker.
I got the speaker to work one time when taking the headset in and out of the phone (but not since, a week ago). Therefore I don't think the speaker is broken, but I'm not able to get it to work again.
Had the same problem on a Iphone (1.gen), but then I was able to get it to work again after pluging a headset in and out. Tried a lot of times with the SGS, but didn't help.
I tried to update the phone to JPX, didn't help
Just seams like the phone thinks the headset is plugged in even though it's not..
Any idea how to fix this?
When making calls there is button "Headset", try pushing that if it could help.
Thanks for answering. That button gives me the opertunity to connect a blutooth headset. Still no speaker sound..
