Problem with Walkman equalizer - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi all
I listen music a lot on my Z, always with headphones.
I have a weird problem: after about 25 minutes of listening, the equalizer stop acting, I have to unplug and replug the headphones to get it work back. Sometimes I don't unplug it, just put the music on Pause and click again about 1 minute later to have the equalizer back!
Anyone had this problem?
I on Monx Honamix, locked BL.
Thanks

I managed to time the length of the equalizer function, it's exactly 30 minutes.
I must have an hidden setting in my equalizer. Really weird!

Do you use greenify, stamina mode or any app killer?

like said in the OP, I run Monx Honamix (and very happy with it, BTW)

then it means you have root
so change the walkman apk and equalizer apk
you can get it from any custom rom
use root explorer to do it first delite the original one and past the new one
it will be located in /system/app

no change... really strange

Does it also stop if you stay in the walkman app?
You could try to lock it in memory with an app like ' pimp my Rom' to make sure it doesn't get kicked out of the ram.

I hope for the same.
They have one for the Galaxy Note 2.
I come from a blackberry where it's a stock function, i used to have it on my nokia N97 also so i'm kinda used to it, so it would be nice if someone could help me out and make me happy!
No one?
Try an app called eXperience Pro. Can be found in the Play Store, need to be rooted tho.
Okay i'll try, thanks! I am rooted so that won't be a problem or else i wouldn't be asking for a mod here
Edit: it is a paid app and i don't have a creditcard...
I found it!
I used the Xposed module "TweakBox" and it works perfectly!
Only when screen is locked though, but that's fine for me
You got a link?
Did a search and just found one for a Galaxy s3 or something.

Yes thats the one, you gotta install it and then check the settings. I think miscelanious

You have to install the xposed framework first
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
then reboot then install the tweakbox thing
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
then set it up and then go to xposed app and in the modules tab mark the tweakbox and reboot.
It only works when screen is off

Camera Launch Noise

Anyone know how to turn off the camera launch sound ?
Had a quick look around and can't find any way to do it.
Not talking about the shutter sound, it's the noise that it makes when you press the dedicated camera key to launch the camera app.
So that would be no then?

Maybe you can't do it in the Sony stock ROM, if you've rooted your Z1 though you can probably locate the audio file and delete it, or modify the apk file that calls the audio file and delete the line that actually plays the audio file.

Probably would work but find it incredible that such an intrusive noise like this can't be switch off. Currently the only way to stop it is to turn the volume down on the phone.

I just received my device and I'll have a look for you. I can't provide an easy way to disable the sound though since I'm not that good with smali or whatever. But I can probably locate the audio file and tell you about it. Other than that, wait for the custom roms.
Perhaps it can be replaced by a quieter shorter sound, the current noise is the electronic equivalent of Dom Joly shouting 'I'M USING MY CAMERA'.

Okay I found the audio file for you, didn't do it last night because of other things.
It's located here: /system/app/SemcCameraUI.apk/res/raw/start_up_notifier.wav
I assume you can delete it and you shouldn't have the start up sound anymore. The problem at the moment is that unlocking the bootloader breaks the camera, and I don't feel like breaking my camera to try and see if it works.
Just to be save, make sure you backup your "SemcCameraUI.apk" file before modifying it and if things don't do as planned, put it back.
you dont have to unlock the bootloader to delete that file, root is enough.

That's totally true, but you can't modify the odexed apk file. You first have to deodex it, delete it, then odex it again and see if it works.. speaking of which I can give it a shot. Will report back later!

Alarm Clock not going off?

Hello all,
My alarm clock is playing up, ever since I got the phone it would pick and choose when it does and does not want to go off, a couple times its not went off at all, I dont really want to download an app off Google Play because I dont really like packing my phone with loads of apps. Yesterday I woke up to checm the time during the night and then went back to sleep and my alarm never went off, its really annoying, does anyone know of a way to solve this?
I'm on 4.2.2.
EDIT: Also, I have heard about Android 4.4 KitKat, how will I update to this once it is released? Will it just be a OTA update? Thanks for your help to whoever answers

That with the alarm is badass haha
Hmm. What if you set in settings of the alarm clock the option with side buttons and use them?
For the update:
- Sony will give an update via PCC.
- You will find the stock rom here on XDA and you can flash it with flashtool.
- Maybe you will become an OTA update but you will be faster up 2 date if you flash it without waiting for OTA, trust me(You will have to wait weeks after release)
But first comes 4.3 in december

First click on a alarm you have set.
Then open the advanced settings below and scroll down.
Click on function of the side buttons or how it is called
Do you can find it?

If you want you can try my clock app. But make a Nand Backup before because I don't know what will happen!
Just copy it with a root-browser to (but first unpack it(the apk was to big to upload it so I had to do it like this-.-)^^): system -> apps
View attachment SemcClock.zip
Or
Flash the ROM again.
Or
download en app in play store..
I don't know if you have more options..

I am not rooted, thats why it annoys me so much as i know ive not deleted any neccasary apps, i need to get this sorted as its the only problem with the phone other than that its completely fine! Do you think the phone could just be going into a deep sleep and then not responding to the alarm? Ive tried a factory reset already and it didnt help, ive also not used any task killers or anything :/

Microphone

Is it just me or do other members of this forum also have problems with there microphone volume?
During a call, people on the other side are hearing me not so good.
And yes i unchecked the noise reduction in phone settings.
If so, anyone got a solution for this problem?
No one???
If you're still using my CM12 build, you might increase the microphone volume with FauxSound app.
Is it in your rom?

No, it's a paid app from Play Store.
However, adjusting the same audio features is also supported by 3C toolbox or System Tuner. Both are free, yet a little too bloated with features I personally don't need.

I choose the notification sound that i want from a file in https://superfiles.co/download/F3M13Lta/Google-Pixel-4a-Ringtones.zip. Than i use a program called Audacity and "amplify" the notification sound that i use to -10dB and copy that one to my phone and use it, thank you very much.

OK if you want the same level all the time but that's more of a bandaid.

Yes i agree, but in relation to the ringtone sound level it makes it more convinient. You can even adjust the level by using multiple files. But did google already "fixed" this since version Kit Kat?
Try Sound Profile by Corcanoe in Play Store.
Ready for Android 12.
Sound Profile (Volume control) - Apps on Google Play
Control phone volume for calls and notifications separately.
