[Q] Volume control problem - XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
So, I bought used xperia x1 to use it as remote for my HTPC, but It has one big issue - volume control bubble sometimes starts poping like crazy so it stops me from normal using of apps, and when I plug in headset It get's even worse.I upgrades sw and done hard reset but nothing helps so I assume it's hardware issue.I don't really need sound on this phone or something so I was wondering if there's something I could do in registry to completely disable audio jack input or all bubble tips?I tried HKCU/Contro Panel/Notifications but I didn't find anything.And when I start android with haret then android's bubble pops all the time too.

Some lost sounds!

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.

Music Stops when power button pressed?

Anyone have any info on this?
My old Orbit2 used to continue to play music through HTC Audio Player as well as Windows Media Player however now if I tap the power button to put device into sleep mode the music pauses.
Anyone have any suggestions/fixes for this?
Any help would be appreciated.
Not sure of Orbit as I do not own one.
But all the WinMo device I have are behaving the way you describe in TD2.
There is apps inside or 3rd party which you can just switch the display off (not the power off), So the device is not off but the display off can save you a lot of battery.
Yeah, I got an app touchlock pro that turns the display off.
Just a bit annoying that I had the problem on the orbit 1, was fixed on the orbit 2 and now the problem is back on the topaz.
Still its a minor thing I suppose - Rest of the functionality seems great so far
Just a little update on this if anyone was interested.
Upon further experimentation I have discovered that i using my bluetooth headset for music playback i can now lock the phone by holding down the end call key and then press the power button to turn the display off whilst maintaing music playback.
Not sure if this works when using a wired headset but it did not seem to work just playing out of the speaker minus the headset.
My D2 continues to play music with the screen off using both coreplayer and windows media player.
EDIT: I thought I would double check - strange, today it stops the music! I know for a fact the other night I was listening to music and the screen was (almost) definitely off. I will investigate further.
EDIT2: I thought further and I know it was playing music with the screen off. I know this because I was happy that the volume buttons still worked.
I just did some checking.
When the headphones are plugged in the music continues playing when you turn off the screen and the volume buttons continue to adjust the volume.
Without the headphones plugged in the music stops when you turn off the screen.
Thanks for that, not actually used the wired headset before but what you have said is correct. it is a shame the same method for bluetooth stereo wasnt implemented or perhaps its just my bluetooth headset. looks like might have to get the wired headset out for a bit.
Hey, is there a way to skip songs with the headset we got?
i never noticed this until today.... how annoying, i just finished loading up my new microSD.
If anyone has a fix for this, please post
Thanks!
Mine appears to be fixed now when using my bluetooth headset or the wired headset But still stops if playing through the phone speaker.
I use a Jabra BT8010 bluetooth headset, and the music continues to play after pressing the power button. The music is shut off if playing through the phones speaker....this is the same as my previous phone (htc TYTN II)

Microphone broke

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.

Problems with the headset you get in the box (RC E160)

So hi guys, ive got this strange problem that noone else seems to experience.
As the titel says its about the headeset found in the box. The problem is that the remote stopped responding, i still hear sound and music but the mic and buttons are disabled in some way.
I found this in the context of the press release.
"- Hold switch to lock/unlock the remote control"
And that seems pretty accurate to what could have happend with my remote, but i cant find any "switch" button they refer to. Ive also removed the buttons by hand to see if any cable has been damaged or ripped of in some way. But everything seems intact.
So what could have happend? There havent been any accidents etc so it some random damage issue seems not to be the case.
Are you running a custom rom, as it may affect what the buttons control

Focus S Headphones Controller Not Working

The phone rocks, but it does have some flaws. Right now I can't seem to pause and play without pressing the button on the headphones like 2 or 3 times. I tested out a few headphones that I know worked on my old Focus and my iPhone and they don't work consistently either.
I also tried the Focus S headphones on my iPhone and it works perfectly. Anyone experience this?
you know i have, i've been posting (*****ing) about this since sunday I'm suspecting a major flaw in the design of the jack itself, but we'll see. The next track/previous track doesn't seem to work at all, and the pause/play seems to take some manipulation to work
this happens to me as well, kind of really annoying, and really my only gripe with the phone.
I get a popping sound through the speakers in my car (AUX plug) when I change from track to track. I am using the same cord I used to use with my Focus and I've checked my Focus S in both of my cars that have an AUX input.
Has anyone else tried this?
Plug your phone into your car using a male-to-male 3.5 cord and play your music through it. When you change from one track to the next you'll hear a popping sound. It's much louder in my Lexus vs my Impala but it's obvious in both cars.
I am also having both the controller issue and the "popping" sound through the speakers of my car.
The volume buttons seem to work, but the play/pause button only works when I hold the button for a second or two before letting it go. Because you have to hold it for a second before it registers, you can't use it to go back or forward through songs. I tried the controller from my Venue Pro in the Focus S with the same results, so the problem is probably with the phone itself and not the controller.
Whenever I have an AUX cable plugged into my car with the engine on, I can here a loud whining noise that I assume is the cable acting as an antenna and picking up noise. When I plug in the DVP, it seems to sort of ground the cable and stop picking up noise even when music isn't playing. With the Focus S, the noise continues when the phone is plugged in and only stops when music is playing. During the short time between songs, music is not playing and there seems to be a sort of noise spike that makes a "popping" sound.
I suspect both of these problems are related and have to do with the jack as jmerrey suggests.
I have been having the same issues with both the Car playback and the controls on headsets. I really hope they fix this major flaw. This phone will go back if not.

FYI I am using a stereo Bluetooth headset from Motorola and do not see any of the above issues.
Volume up/down, pause/play and skip forward and back all work as expected.

that's because the issue stems from the actual headphone jack, it's not a software or firmware problem, but a hardware issue.
Okay I figured out how to get the controller to work pretty much 100% of the time. You can't just press the button, you have to hold it down for about half a second for it to pause and play consistently. Any more or any less than half a second and it won't work. I've been doing this for pretty much the entire day and it seems to be working now. Little annoying that it works on a delayed press but its better than not working at all.
Yes, but you still don't get the double press for next track, or triple for previous track. I've been able to get the double press to work a few times, but that's it. I've also noticed that with aftermarket sets, like a beats headset, it's incredibly inconsistent. I really hope this is fixable with a software patch, but I'm not holding my breath.

I have only volume up on all type of press button.
anyone hear if this is going to be addressed or if it has been acknowledged?
thanks
I have the same problem with my Focus S. The volume buttons are working fine, the problem occurs only with the play / pause button.
If you want to play / pause you have to hold the button longer than just the usual
short click. If you know the trick it works most of the time for play / pause, switching songs with a double click is almost impossible and very hard to time.
I tried it with the original headset from my Focus S and with the Nokia purity all have the same problems.
I also tried the all headsets with my Lumia 800 and a Omnia W all working fine.
It seems to be a Focus S only problem, not sure if it is hardware or software related.
I'm on 8107 using 2103.11.10.1 Firmware would a hard reset solve the problem??
firmware issue
I have experienced all of these problems above and here are a few tips/fixes and ideas. First with the headset controller on the ear buds, I noticed if you press harder it picks it up easier. If you get it down just right you can time it for going forward and backwards. Still not a real fix. Its definitely the phone because it works on my focus, iPhone, and mac. Also, I think it may be firmware related because the popping occurs between songs for the aux cable in the car only when audio isn't playing, so I would assume it had something to do with the firmware, not the hardware. It distinctly gets quieter when music plays, even if the music is silent (just knowing something is playing is enough for it to shut up). Also I noticed that when I plug in my phone for battery, it connects, disconnects and then reconnects. I noticed this with the vibration (should only be once, actually is 2-3 times). And when battery is low you notice because you plug in, it disconnects and you get a notice of critically low battery, and then it connects. I think this may be the firmware that all the ports seem to turn on and off whenever given any form of stimulus (data or power sent through them).
The phone rocks The phone rocks
Tango and the new Samsung Firmware fixed this issue!!!
Now i can listen to my music how it is meant to be!!!
:victory::victory::victory:
i got tango, but no new firmware. Which update updated the firmware?
I got Tango, but I had to hard reset my Focus S to get the Firmwareupdate.
Maybe because I InterOP unlocked my Focus S, I'm not sure why it worked after a Hard Reset.
My Software is now:
OS: 7.10.8773.98
Firmware: 2103.12.05.2
yes but didnt the LE2 software update disable your ability to interop unlock your device?
if we can get the phone accept our own signed cabs we can extract the driver updates, fixes and patches and ignore the diagnostic tool updates that disable our interop unlock method.
in short make a backup BEFORE applying any samsung OEM updates, when you need to interop unlock again, you can revert to your pre OEM update, apply the interop unlock again, then re apply the OEM update. from what i gather you are best doing this every time you have an OS update as there have been issues with restoring backups that cross OS versions...
Oh course you lose any unbacked up txts etc, but i think the benifit outweighs the hassle.

I got the firmware update, but it didn't fix my headphone issues. It is still incredibly unresponsive, and the annoying clicking that is head better via aux cable is still present. Anyone have the same issue?
