Hi all, I am on Italy v20S and experiencing soms strange problem. Each time I switch on/off the phone, my keyboard switches to LG stock keyboard instead of staying on the GO keyboard. Sometimes the ringtone/notification sound is changed too...
no one with same problem or solution ? I could try reinstalling the Rom, but only if no other options available
i got the same problem, but only after battery replacement not after common reboot. the date and time reset after this. problems gone when i flashed via smartflash.
sorry for my english, hope this info will be usefull.

This is a bug in the firmware, has always been there. If you want to use a custom ringtone/notification sound you have to copy it to /system/media/audio/ringtones or notifications.
What (I think) happens is that the sound is referenced by an index number. During startup it looks for the sound number, but since the sd-cards haven't been scanned yet, you end up with a random sound. The sounds on the system-partition are correctly scanned first.

Not seen this before, but it may be related to the above. Is it installed on the SD-card? If yes, move it to the internal storage and see if it helps.

I just flashed the ROM to stock XXJPU 2.2.1..
Everything's outstanding except the incoming call ringtone and vibration..
Whenever someone calls me up, the ringtone sounds for some miliseconds.. and then it's just gone... no vibration in silent mode.. no ringtone in general mode..
I never faced this problem before but facing this after I flashed to XXJPU..
Any solution?
Very strange, I haven't had this happen at all and I'm using JPU.
Ahh..
The message notification is working like a charm but the problem is with incoming calls only :S
Checked all the volumes, ringtones, nothing works. Even the vibration mode is not working.. Phone remains silent while someone calls me up.
wow...
maybe u have the bad firmware... so where can u download this firmware.... any links? and do i need the password on the zip file???
Both my girlfriend and myself have a similar problem, oddly enough we have different firmware and models. Call ringtones and message alerts rarely work. E-mail notifications and such are fine. I've got an 16 GB Australian GT-I9000 (Optus) running JPU. However my girlfriend has a 8 GB GT-I9000 (International) running the latest official (Kies) firmware, JPO.
We're both with different telecomm providers so I don't think it's a network related issue. I'm a little surprised to find that so few other people have the same problem. I'm a bit busy of late but I'll see what I can find out. If anyone else has any information please don't hesitate to share it.
I have exactly the same problem, since I upgraded to JPU. With my previous upgrades, I had no problem so it seems to be a JPU's bug. But, why only some of us are concerned ?
What could I do ? Any ideas ??

I just "fixed" mine somehow by fiddling with settings. I probably shouldn't have done so as now I don't actually know what the problem was (so I can't make a real fix). However, I just tried reselecting my call ringtone, message ringtone, changed my volume up and down, turned silent on and then back off a couple times and enabled vibrate for all calls (not just on silent). Then the next time I got a SMS it worked. I don't know if it will stay working though.
Thanx for answering ! Me, I have no problem with SMS notification. Only calls ring. But, I will follow your note : play with volumes, mp3, sounds, notification modes, ...
I just notice that an icon appeared just a semi-second after a call arrives : that's the "Silent mode activated" icon (an HP with a slash on it !). But I'm not in silent mode !
I had this problem, so I re-flashed and only restored apps and not system data, everything is fine now.
Hey, that's fine, I've found the reason why my phone stopped to ring : an app not compatible with version 2.2.1 called NetQin Mobile Manager v3.2 ! I just uninstalled it and my phone found back his voice ! lol !
Hi people,
Seem to have a strange problem with the phone(I9000 8 gb)
Am on stock XXJVO without root and am experiencing a strange problem
Whenever anyone calls me,the phone doesn't ring AT ALL
Only vibrates whether profile is silent or general
Was flashed long ago
problem exists since yesterday
thanks for helping!!
Any app that you recently installed which you may think might be causing any kind of conflict with ringtones? Going over the obvious, have you gone through the audio settings and ensured a ringtone is actually selected? Because I've seen this being reset on quite a few custom ROMs...

Bump anyone??
I have the same problem with .mp3 ringtones & if I set an .mp3 for SMS notifications. They work for about 24 hours if I reboot my SGS, then stop working.
Re-install of current ROM (Darky's v9.5) makes no difference to this problem
sorry, i'm still having the same issue, there is a newer firmware out now, so may upgrade and see if this resolves the issue.
hey guys so my problem is every time i make a phone call it automatically goes to speakerphone and i manually always have to switch it back to normal. any one have this problem? i was previously running custom roms but i recently moved back to stock 2.2..
TIA
it can be in car mode.
how would i take it off from car mode?
should be in your settings.. or possibly the car mode is just stuck on you try rebooting? or reloading stock could be a bad download or install)

IF you use Go SMS, it's that. There was a bug that caused phones to enter speakerphone immediately on call. They updated it and it's fixed. Happened to mine, too.
ok thanks yea i guess it was go sms ! so weird! i never an application can effect a phone like that!?
another question now are any the GO dev. apps effecting anyones external speaker? seems like im missing calls and alarms because the speaker isnt lound anymore!
Anyone else have issues with the camera not responding after taking a photo on 13mp setting? It's fine on 10mp though.
I am using stock rom with root.

That's just a little hang. Do factory reset.

The problem is becoming more frequent. I noticed this:
After the camera stops working and the application asks to be closed, i need to wait just a few minutes for the application restart to work, but only for 1/2 photos. Only restarting the phone is the solution. I can use the camera for dozens of photos with no problem, then suddenly during the day, it only takes just one to block the camera. :crying:
With the first fw release i never had any problem.
This freezing is caused by focus sound, causing mediaserver to be stuck in loop.
It is connected with Bluetooth usage.
For example on my T, I am using BT car radio and when I drive somewhere and want to make some photo after that, even if BT is already disconnected, camera hangs when trying to focus twice and in log, I can see mediaserver running in loop. Camera must be force closed and mediaserver must be killed. Killing mediaserver wouldn't be such pain, using terminal, if it wouldn't have different PID everytime it's killed and if it wouldn't slow down the phone so much.
I hope I wrote it clearly.
You could also (provided you have root access) change you build.prop, changing
ro.camera.sound.forced=1 to 0.
If you change this a new option will be available in your camera app giving you control if shutter sound is on or off

Yes, but do you know what? No sound of focus or shutter is provided by nosound.m4a file. So this is not the solution.
Thank you guys. So how do we solve the problem in the easiest way possible? And why not all xperia t haven't this defect? Why doesn't it show up in the first fw? It 's very boring this defect in a phone where the camera is the first feature. I can not restart the terminal each time after taking a single photo only.
I am trying to find some solution...
i'm sure this is a issue of the new fw. I made many many photos with the last release and never happened. But why? And why only
few peoples are speaking about this?

You don't needa nosound file because it just turns it off. I use it myself and I can tell you this works and my camera never crashed on me.

As i said, problem was solved after changing location of saved pics to ext-sdcard.
absolutelly not. From the first time i started up the phone, the ext-sdcard was the location for my saved pics (i never saved my pics into the internal memory) .I tried to change and to re-set....but nothing is changed. Solution has to be found in an another way.
Here is some workaround for the mediaserver causing camera to freeze problem -
- http://d-h.st/TmT
It's SemcCameraUI with changed shutter tone stream type from "system enforced" to "system" (now shutter tone is turned on/off with global sound settings) and it looks like that the camera is not freezing anymore, but it needs some testing by anyone else with this problem.
Does it need the root to install?
Yes, it does.
Sony has to solve this issue. I think the "minor update" after the .195 was to solve this also. May be?
Could be possible. I am on .197 and I have no problems

Hello
I've rooted my xperia t to install a custom mod on it. But I haven't had the time for it to install it. Recently I started to use my xperia to listen to music more, and when I unplug my headphone, my xperia sometimes thinks my headphone is still plugged and doesn't play any sound through the speakers. So I've missed already several times my alarm. I use the standard in ear headphone of apple, the ones you get free with your ipod.
So before I install a custom rom, I want to know if this is because I rooted my phone or it is a common problem and how to fix it? I already googled it, but I didn't find anything useful. Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Greetings

Hello, this does happen sometimes on my phone too!!
This is not because of phone being rooted.
My phone is rooted too.
All you have to do, is re-plug the headphones in the socket and then take it out and this should make the speakers work,
If not, you can always reboot the phone.

Yes, I've figured that out aswell, but it's annoying. Sometimes I forget to check if my sound works, I set my alarm and it doesn't go off. AFAIK, it's a software problem, so wouldn't be there anything to fix this problem? Wierd, sony never released anything to fix this problem as other people have the same problem aswell. Now I'm afraid to install a custom rom on it due to warranty, as maybe I will have to bring my phone in to fix it.
Same bug exists with Xperia V

Yes, this same bug exists on my Xperia V as well. However, one would suspect it could be a hardware fault, mainly because if it was present on every Xperia V/T phone out there, there would logically be a LOT more uproar about it.
If anyone knows whether or not the actual cause of this, do let me know. Some people are pointing to Sony's Smart Connect as being the culprit, but I have tried both disabling all its features, and also editing the headset and headphone profiles to FORCE (=add actions) sound mode to normal and volume to a certain point upon removal of headset - no help. In fact, on my phone not even plugging the headset back in and out helps, I seem to always need to reboot.
Official response from Sony is "we cannot reproduce the problem". But it is relatively widespread.
Just to let you know, and I'm not 100% sure about this "fix", but so far so good.
I downgraded Smart Connect via Google Play ("uninstall", so all updates gets removed) and deleted all headphone and headset events in the old version (the Music on the go and Music at home events). Been using the phone for a day without the bug appearing now - so if you're willing to part with Smart Connect's features, this might help you too.
Hi thanks for the heads up. I'll look into this after my exams. Yes I'm willing to delete smart connect. Never used it and I should even look it up to know what it means

Two days ago I downgraded Smart Connect. Looks like that's the fix. I still haven't had the issue since I downgraded Smart Connect. Thanks for the tip!
This bug seems have been solved in coming JB 4.3 update (I'm using the leak for a while and no longer such bug)

Basically it's not a software problem and I know it's very annoying... The problem is in the jack hole itself,
Don't ever try to do a factory reset because this won't fix that bug
You can either clean it "hardware fix" (hard method),
Or download this app on Google Play here #adfly /1d8wfk# {sorry, the site is preventing me from putting links} "software fix" (easy way but you may have to open the app every time it is terminated by a ram accelerator like clean master or something like that)
Hope this works for you
And plz tell me if my English is bad
