Hi i have a rooted NC running at 1,1.
All is working fine, but i have a problem with movies
All my video is working with stereo 'reverse'
i'm using headphones, and the left sound is at right, and the right sound is at left ...
It s like that on all my videos,
on my computers all is ok with the same headphone.
Do you have the same problem ? is it possible to reverse the stereo sound output on the NC ? using a APP, or maybe in an advanced menu ?
thx
Best regards
Does this problem only appear with the oc'ed kernel?
No idea, i saw this problem yesterday
someone here have the same problem ?
Ayorosknight, eurosa is asking if you're running the stock kernel rooted or if you are running an overclocked kernel. Is your NC running with defaults aside from the root or have you done any other mods to it. That'll help with the troubleshooting.
Oops sorry,
yes i'm using a o/c kernel (kernel-1100mhz-omap3630.zip)
available here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=925451
And i'm on Eclair.
thx
now if you could just flash the stock kernel and test your audio that would be helpful

i am running completely stock currently and i have the same issue as well. audio is reversed from what it should be according to the what's happening on screen.
so has anyone else had this issue with the audio channels being reversed? trying to figure out how common it is.
i just finished talking to B&N about getting an exchange, but to say that it's a hassle is an understatement. it started with me going to the store on monday, they told me i had to call the 1-800 number because i bought it online, then one the phone they said i had to go through the whole tech support to try and fix the problem before they would escalate the case to exchange it. i do the whole reset thing and they say if it continues to have issues to call back. well today i finally had time to call back and after 20 minutes of nothing they said that i should go back to the store and tell the customer service person to call their store support line. i flatly told her that if she expected me to put more time into this by driving back out to the store, one in which they had dismissed me already and told me to call the 1-800 line, just to get a properly working device then i would rather her just send me to the returns department so they could issue a rma and i wouldn't even bother with owning this device. sorry, but 4 attempts by the customer to right the problem is too many.
anyway, after talking to the supervisor my new device is on the way. however, if i get another nook color that has the same issue i will just give up on owning one. i'm not going through that nonsense again.
so again, is this a common issue?
Would it really be a deal breaker if the channels are reversed? Why not just switch your earbuds to opposite ears? Otherwise, get a 6-inch 3.5mm extension cord. Cut it, solder back togeher with the channels switched. Ta-Da: poor-man's channel swapper. There are other options...

First off, you do realize that many headsets, earbuds included, are meant to work with the L and R sides placed correctly on the corresponding ear, right? Take a look at your set, if they are anything like the 3 different pair I have then the tiny drivers are angled to deliver sound down the ear canal. Furthermore, with a set of Nike over the ear style sports you don't have a choice as they are made to only fit one way.
Second, why would I go about buying and soldering something to make a new device work like it already supposed to?
Yeah there's optons, which I'll explore if I have to, but don't you think something should work like its supposed to when you buy it?

not trying to take it out on you. i apologize if it came off that way. you stated the obvious solution in switching the earbuds. i merely stated the obvious that they are meant to work a certain way.
also, i'm not rooted.
so i got a replacement nook and it still has the same issue. so frustrating.
I just got off the phone with motorola and they are processing my 4th replacement device . anybody have a droid 4 over 2 months old that does not have a problem with the ear speaker. i mainly use speakerphone and when i use the ear piece i dont go above level 3. i have been doing alot of reading and many people are having this problem. i tried the suck trick and it worked temporarily but it keeps getting worse everyday. is anyone not having this issue that has had this phone for over 2 months. i am considering another phone but i really dont wanna lose the keyboard. any information would really help.

My wife and I have both had Droid 4s since release day and aren't experiencing the issue.
I have had my droid 4 since the day it was released with no such problems. The only I can think that would cause speaker problems is if:
a) dust and gunk are getting stuck in the speaker
b) the connector for the speakers is becoming loose... do you ever try and clean around the edges of the phone, like in between the bezel and the frame? If so, you might be damaging a connector when you do so...
Other than that, maybe its a factory issue, it is a very thin top piece that holds the speaker and the screen, etc.
Hope this helps...

I started having this problem about 3 weeks ago and I've had my D4 for about 2 months.
Guess I need to call in for a replacement...what a pain. I used my OG Droid for almost 2 years without the need for a replacement. Then I picked up the D3 and went through about 6 phones in 6 months with a move to the D4 hoping things would be better.
What's the suck trick? My wife's is one day old and ear speaker sounds blown
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
suck trick
The suck trick is, if u suck on the speaker with your mouth it will temporarily fix the speaker.
Same issueI
I bought a Droid 4 two months ago and about within a month it started up with the same thing you are speaking of, a tinny, blown speaker sound coming from the ear piece. I did the whole sucking speaker deal and it would fix it , only to sound like junk again later. I returned it to Verizon, where they said that they had not heard of anyone else having the same problem, so Motorola sent me a "like new" Droid 4. I have had this phone for a month and just this morning it began with the blown speaker garbage again.
I looked more into it and read that it could be the glue which is holding the speaker in heats up and fails, causing the speaker to release from where it is seated and with that rattles, or vibrates, giving the effect of a blown speaker
This would make sense why by sucking into the speaker it stops, because you are basically popping it back into place temporarilly
Either way, I am returning this phone later today and plan on telling Verizon, I want a new one, not some "like new" refurbished piece of junk. I paid for a NEW phone, not one with problems motorola "fixed"
I hope all works out next, cause I really love the keyboard and could've gotten a Rzr for a few bucks more.
try running this app 2x times. once normally with the bol up and another time with the vol up during a call... fixed the sound for me

I just got a "like new" replacement phone for having the same problem. I had my phone for about five months before noticing a problem with the speaker. I had the same problem on four different DroidX phones. Verizon acted like it was such a big deal, and they'd never had any problems with the Droid4. The woman at the Verizon store tried to convince me that my Otter Box case was causing the problem. Verizon's customer service department is such a joke sometimes. So far so good with my replacement though.

if you make a call and run it it runs in the earpiece.
to clean it right
1wipe it off
2 clean it with a airduster if you got one
3 with a q tip and a little bit of alcohol
4 dry it than call you house and pick up the phone
5 than run the app incall 3x times
it should be good than
also in /settings/sound/speaker settings set it to custom turn off surround sound and turn the eq to bass punch or lower.
Hi all,
Just checking as to what headphones everyone got with their pre-orders, it seems some got the Bluetooth version, so my question is did everyone get that version?
Will be collecting mine from Three at lunch time
I'd have loved the BT nfc ones, makes sense to pair those with the Z. Still a nice pre order bonus though.
Ordered from cpw and have the standard wired ones.

LUCKY BLUETOOTH BOYS!!!
Here's hoping I am equally blessed but I am not holding out too much hope
I am a bit disappointed now, just looked at the different models as I thought they were all noise cancelling headphones, but it seems only the MDR-1RNC are noise cancelling, priced at £449
Never mind though, at least I'll be able to hear the traffic if trying to cross the road lol
It would really make my day if I SonyMobile.com sent out the Bluetooth ones, but something tells me that they're only offering the regular ones. Which, frankly, isn't such a big deal if you ask me - shouldn't be a problem to use with mw600 or similar "adapter-ish".
I got the normal ones in black, I don't know what made me think they were supposed to be noise cancelling though, I must have read it in a review rather than on the Sony offer page...
Normal ones from P4U for me still happy tho
No idea why someone would want wireless headphones over wired ones, unless you're selling on. Wireless is more expensive while lower quality sound. Fact.
I preordered mine on the first day they opened preordering up, Got an email today from P4U, saying "sorry I didn't get it today but It has been sent special delivery before 1pm tomorrow". and I've been upgraded to the Sony MDR-1RBT ones worth £399, even tho they only £248 on amazon.Would have been nice to get the noise cancelling ones tho' lol
I got the wired one.... preordered from carphone warehouse...

The XperiaZ kinda encourages everyone to use wireless accessories. i'm gonna need to buy a SBH20 so that i can plug my headphones into the bluetooth reciever so that I don't have to open flaps on my xperiaZ.
Also going to need a docking station because the flaps are annoying
i preorderd from mobicity, does that mean i dont get headphones?

Sorry but no.
Sacrificing quality (for a higher price at the same time) for style is kind of stupendous.
What's more, I'm not planning to dump my phone into water or take it under the shower. Water resistance is something for emergency situations, if you drop your phone into the sink that it doesn't go bust. I won't refrain from using my phones features like the damn USB port and headphone jack for some misplaced sense of diving desire.
Treat it like the ZL and realize your phone will function with or without water resistance (except under water).

I don't get why all of a sudden people are getting wireless everything for the XZ. the waterproof is a just in case feature, it doesn't mean that you stop using the phones normal features.
So I got a brand spanking new Nexus 6 and right out of the box I had a issue where it thought the headphones were in, I wiped it flashed stock ROM and custom ROM still happened, called in for warranty and tmobile sent me a refurbished one that clearly had the screen replaced cause you could still see the plastic under the glass. Well last night the brand new one stopped doing it and is now working flawlessly, I'm thinking about keeping the new one and calling them and telling them nevermind but do you think it will happen again?? Should I just keep the referb?

Yikes this is one of those things that's best left up to you BUT since you are asking lol. IMO I would keep the new one seeing that it's brand new, not sure how visible/or even as to why there is plastic under the glass but it would bother the crap out of me knowing the screen at one point had to be replaced for whatever reason. Again this is just my personal opinion

Motorola can't build phones. Every nexus 6 has static through the headphone jack. If someone says there's doesn't. They aren't using the headphone jack or they are def. Mine has done it from day one and the only way around it for me was to install a Bluetooth receiver in my truck and my home receivers. Hate this hpone but stuck with it for another year. I'm
I use the headphone jack frequently and am certainly not deaf. I haven't encountered any static, so perhaps I'm simply lucky.

I'm in the same boat, that makes 2 lucky people lol
I've never heard of that issue before, but I've never had that problem myself. I just a corded pair of earphone. No bluetooth.
This might sound crazy but it worked for me with a similar issue with the headphone jack controlling my volume/speakers - blow into the jack to clean it out. A bit of debris in the jack had mine acting crazy for a few weeks.
I would actually be furious if I were to receive a defective device that I PAID for and when I notify the carrier they go and send out a replacement that's refurbished? What kind of bs is that, either you send me a brand new replacement or refund me the money. I would've given T-Mobile hell over the phone
Dont have static headphones. I have static speakers tho. Yes, these phones are built pretty bad lol.
perhaps check if the headphone jack is clean or try cleaning it.
Hey guys, I just wanted to share my experience with this device with you.
So, I bought this phone in January and it was the most excellent phone I've ever used, fast processor, good camera, a nice community backing it up, good audio, you know the rest.
But it wasn't until, like, three or four months after that and I began to have troubles with it. I'll try to list them up:
1. While using it for reading before going to sleep, it would lock itself as if I pressed the power button (and no, it wasn't because of the screen timeout because I have a very high timeout and whenever it locked itself it made the locking sound it normally does when you press the lock button). I guess it has to do with the position I usually hold it when I'm on my bed and about to sleep.
2. Vibration motor issues, the phone used to stop vibrating at random times, I had to give it a shake to start vibrating again, how can you explain that? How is that even possible? God, I just can't understand what was wrong, but I learned to live with it
3. Video playblack issues, it stopped playing any kind of video at random times and I had to reboot it so it could do it. For example, YouTube showed that there was a problem loading the video, Instagram videos would glitch and go black, Snapchat videos won't play, you open the video and it exits as if it has finished, Album app says "Cannot play video", Facebook videos would just show the preview and the loading would remain at zero, and so on... However, this got fixed when I updated to Marshmallow but had to live with it for at least two months until MM released.
4. Audio jack issues (first issue), when I plugged my headphones everything was okay, but when I twisted the headphones plug it would stop playing the music (twist the headphone plug, obviously not disconnecting it; let's say that you have a sort of L shaped earphones plug, you are going to watch a YouTube video so you put your phone in landscape, you rotate the earphones plug so you can hold the phone in landscape properly, phone detects as it was disconnected and stops the video).
And, finally...
5. Audio jack issues (second issue), the headphones would disconnect no matter what I do, even the slightest movement would disconnect it, this frustrates me because I listen to music A LOT, and I couldn't do that on my phone anymore. When trying to disconnect and reconnect the headphones the audio jack cracked and the plastic frame of the phone got unglued, and now I have the chrome audio jack and the plastic frame in my hands because I can't glue it back because it won't fit again.
The last issue just happened a couple of hours ago.
I am so disappointed of this phone, just when I though I have found the perfect phone for me, guess I have to try again with another brand... (not to mention I have seen in a lot of forums that this phone has a lot of issues in terms of hardware and software).
What do you think? Have you had any problems like this? Do you think I have bad luck?
What do you think I should do now?

Sadly, no. I bought it from a shop where they sell unlocked new phones, but I think that the warranty from Sony has expired.
If it was a new phone in January it has warranty. In Australia it has a two year warranty.

In 4 years of having Xperia phones I've only every had one problem, a cracked screen. I called the service desk and they gave me an address to send it to, I had a new screen in 5 days.
I doesn't matter if the phone was second hand or sold unlocked, it still has a valid warranty (two years in Europe).
Register your phone, you will need the IMEI number.
Then call Sony service and tell them you have a fault. They will talk you though some stuff, get you to try PC Companion, then give you a fault reference number and an address to send it to.
It's worth a try.

I've been using Z3 Compact for about 1.5 years. Believe me man, I dropped my phone into wet cement and cement sucked the phone in, phone was covered in and out in cement for at least half an hour. You know what happened? I went home and washed it, then brushed it to get rid of the dry cement. It still works like a charm! You must be very unlucky.
Best phone I so far got in my Hands. The Camera is the only drawback, but hey, there are mods and fixes. Never had an issue with that phone, it´s a beast in terms of speed and battery, yet tiny enough to fit anywhere in. Yours´ must be a refurbished or something. I´d recommend that phone to anybody I know.
It's a great phone. I dropped this thing (with a tpu case, though) A LOT. I must admit the headphone jack went bad on me. It's short circuiting, so I bought a replacement part.
headphone jack died for me as well. had to order one and replace it. we're not alone in this, google it and you'll find it died for hundreds of people more (who use this phone a lot for music)

Did you replace it yourself? I'm too afraid to do it myself. You have to remove almost everything in the phone to reach the headphone jack. Could a regular cellphone repair place do this job?

I replaced it myself because I said screw it, if it works afterwards, then great, I'll use this phone for longer (but won't ever buy a sony phone). If not, I would've bought smth like a 1Plus X at that time (not spending 500$ on a new phone ever again, I bought the z3c in Oct 2014 when it was just released).
Ordered replacement jack from a chinese online store for 10$.
To my surprise, everything worked as before. The good thing about the components is that you don't have to weld or glue anything, it's all with contacts/sockets. And of course you need some guitar picks, tweezers and a suction cup. You can use a blowdryer instead of a heatgun like I did. Of course it won't be waterproof after that, as you can imagine, the glue on the back panel will only be good enough to stick it back on (doesn't fall afterwards, you just also heat it up a bit before putting it back).
The instructions in this video, before the 3:08 min mark is all you need to do. And then just reverse the process.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbvYl2JwWG4
Also I had great satisfaction from the fact that I did all this and actually fixed something. Process took place in March 2016, so it's been around 6months already and the headphone jack works with no flaws.
P.S. Didn't bother taking it to a cellphone service/repair center since, at least in my country, they don't have that much experience with repairing waterproof phones. Actually I think they pretty much refuse to do it. Also official Sony centers don't service phones here, hah
So, I am proud user of Z3C. After 14 Months, I've had no problems at all. Camera takes perfect photos, music is great on speakers and NC headphones or even with Sony MDR-V150. Only thing I would like to have is RAW format for photos...
Amazing device with horrible design flaws a.k.a = the jack of death
The worst part of this story is that this sh*t (the jack) got ruined after long time of use, which means: out of warranty, you will have to f*ckyourself and deal with it, because Sony give a sh*t about it and will never recognize that flaw... ever.
Workaround? BT headphones
Downside 1? Latest Radio.apk + MM = No FM radio over BT, music only.
Downside 2? Money, obviously.
Pretty sh*tty scenario for an almighty compact device.
Bottom line: If your jack is ok, dont mess with it... just remember those many customers fallen in this adventure named "Flagship".
Yay, my headphone jack is broked now. Nothing more to add; just wanting to wallow with some fellow sufferers Still in warranty so will try that approach out.
