Hello guys, i'm having a very strange issue 1 week after updating to jelly Bean, but i'll start for the beginning:
I've unlocked my phone, and no sound was produced ( the normal unlocking sound), it wasn't in Silent mode, just the speaker didn't sound. It doesn't work for music, videos, or anything, it seems to be dead, but if put the phone in my ear, i'm able to listen a very very low music sound coming out from the speaker, so it isn't really dead. - The other speaker and headset work-
Obviously, i've restarted it, and no change, i've also tried to reset it with pc Companion, and again, no change. So i left it locked in the table, and 30 minutes later, I heard the notificatio sound, and yes, it started working again, like if nothing were happened. Y was really happy, but it only lasted 2 hours, because AGAIN the same very very low sound, but this time, it comes back 2 minutes, and again silence,and again... I don't know what to try any more.. Please help me!!
Thanks anyway, and sorry for the bad english, i'm from Argentina.

Id take it back for warranty

Well... it fixed itself, for now, so I won't do anything for now, but if it breaks again, i'll downgrade to ICS... sadly.
Thanks.
had this problem too, but after restarting the phone it was fine.
It's a firmware issue. My tl did that when was on ics. Personally I wouldn't root or unlock the bl. This brand of phones is very sensitive.

I have the same problem. It appeared after I unplug the earphone during a phone call. Now I have tried to restart the phone, replug the earphone, but the headset is still not working...

Hi none of the methods above works for me. This is a real issue, if a phone cannot be listened, it is not a phone anymore ...
Can someone please help? I hate to have to downgrade to ICS again ...

Yeah! I found a solution on another thread.
go to Google store and download soundabout app
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app, then toggle the options in the menu. I was able to get my sound back after using this app!
Cheers!
It works up to now

After Using the newest firmware and having some minor probs.I stumbled up on the following prob. I was young a txt and got a call at the same time.phone kind of crashed/couldn't pick up.got the cal again and couldn't hear the other side taking at all.(they can here me fine though) so I tested a little, couldn't get it working so flashed my phone back to jpk (the first froyo with 803)
And now it still doesn't seem to work..with our without headphones it just doesn't work. Other sound all play without a problem so it seems to be a software issue...any one any ideas?
Thnx in advance!

did you try using volume up during the call?
Does anyone know what determines whether the softkeys vibrate on touch? Turning volume down to silent doesn't change anything but I've noticed that sometimes there is no vibration and I can't figure out the reason.

There is an option to turn it off in the sound settings,vibrate on touch.

But there's been many times when I've not been near any settings for a while and I notice the soft keys not vibrating.

I don't know if it's a software or hardware problem.can you try a factory reset?or repair the phone via pc companion.
Sent from my C6602 using xda premium
Firstly I'll monitor exactly what I'm doing when it next happens. I'm not rooted or unlocked yet so I guess it's nothing I've done (unless it's an app, if that's possible)

Right, so it's been almost a week. Unfortunately, I'm still having problems with no obvious explanation.
I soft-bricked my phone a few days ago so I've completely reset it. I was under the impression that it was only softkeys and haptic feedback that was being lost but today I'm sure a couple of time I've received messages without vibration (phone was in my lap and I can see the screen turn on but felt nothing).
My friend on his One X told me he often loses softkey feedback and haptics but that a message always brings it back. So until today I was putting it down to Jellybean (there seems to be a lot of S3 users with same issues too). Some S3 user reported that turning battery saving off has brought back feedback but I've not used stamina or anything like that, might there be something enabled by default I want to get rid of?
I kinda want to install CM10.1 to test on 4.2 but I'd need unlocked bootloader and I'm not sure how Amazon feel about that.
The motor seems to be ok... It sounds like a Bee or some paper trapped but from what I read that's normal because it's a thin phone. It's loud too.
When using the Service Tests area it seems to work without fail, but I need to test that after it turns off.
I'm still having this issue and I'm almost certain it must be a hardware fault.
Am I right in thinking that if I run a vibration test in the service menu then no system or app settings should prevent it vibrating?
Sometimes it fails to vibrate even in that test.

Has anyone else been having weird noise issues with the phone when using the on screen keyboard with haptic feedback enabled?
occasionally, once every 5-10 letter inputs the phone produces a weird noise (similiar to the noise the phone makes when it vibrates, but louder with slightly higher pitch). I only began to notice this after the latest update.
It sounds like it is coming from the speaker
Mine started a few days ago with the same funny but annoying noise. Did you find a solution?
I have the same problem. It was getting louder and louder so I just disabled haptic feedback altogether.
Hi , had the same problem, a month ago. Turns out , as per Sony repair center the vibrator motor was not in place. Turns out this was all bull****. Cause they could'nt get it right , and had to replace the phone eventually.
Same problem.....

Oh snap, I've still been using my phone with that problem, but I think it may be software related because it started after the 4.3 update and also sometimes it stops works altogether but if I restart my phone, it's back to normal.

I had the problem when I first bought the phone, although I don't hear it anymore now though. Maybe the "motor" got into its place when I dropped my phone onto a concrete floor.

Hi Bro,
Personally , i would take it back to Sony. Started off being an intermittent problem on mine, eventually no amount of reboots or flashing 4.3 or 4.4 ftf would stop the noise.
I assume Sony know , its an issue so that's why they swapped my phone without question.
Recently.. Whenever there is a received phone call.. When I answer it, the loud speaker is activated by it's own.. I don't know why.. It didn't do that before.. And it does that only with received calls.. Simple as it is, but it's really annoying and quite embarrassing.. especially when I'm in public transport.. So, any one knows how to fix that.. Or what is the problem??

It seems that the latest Chrome update causes that glitch, so try to uninstall the updates for it and if it still doesn't work, disable Chrome, restart phone and then use another browser till this is solved another way (another Chrome update that restores functionality).

We have 2 other threads about this issue, looks like is happening with almos everyone, so like our friend above said, deactivate chrome and clear you phone app data and cache, doing this your problem will be solved.
For what it's worth I deleted Chrome using TB and the problem persists, so it might not work for everyone.

You might be right, for instance, I still didn't disable Chrome, and got three calls today, everything was normal.
What I have disabled though, is Socialife and Smart Connect. Some users mentioned that after a phone restart, only the first incoming call goes to external speaker, the others are fine, after the first call.
Only thing we're sure of, this seems to have started happening to most of us at the same time.

Remember guys: after disable chrome did you cleaned data and cache from phone app? If you dont do this wont solve your problem.
z1 mic problem resolved
Hi guys...
i disabled chrome,clear data in app manager, then restart z1,problem resolved...
thank you
As the title says it turns on without touching the phone, after calling sb. It never seems to turn on while receiving a call. I am 100% I didn't touch a thong as sometimes it happens while I have the phone in hand and I can clearly see that the loudspeaker is activated as soon as I place the call. I read it's a common problem. Anyone found any soulution? Do you have it too?

It was chrome. Latest update fixed it

Some say it could be a short or something on the USB port. I cleaned mine (lint and things) and it seemed to help... But it happened again and it's clean as whistle so I'm hopping it's chrome. I haven't had an issue since it's last update, seems weird though.
