Hey
Ok, so I dont really know how I stumbled on this, but heres a test for you. If you hold your Z to your ear, powered up but screen off, with the phone flat to and pressing on your ear, can you hear a faint ticking sound?
Its in a quite specific area, about 2 inches beneath the sony logo, and in the centre. Strangely, if you then press the power button without moving the phone, the ticking slows down.
Again, I dont know how I 'discovered' this, and I have yet to name this new feature ; )
Timebomb?
Was it made in North Korea?

Haha, I think it might have been ya know
So is it just me or can other people hear it? Im pretty much certain Im not going mad as the ticking moves from ear to ear, so its not a faulty ear
If it's moving from ear to ear I would think it's 2 faulty ears lol... All joking aside. I have not noticed any such ticking from my Z

Its not noticible in normal use, and slight ambient noise will drown it out.. But it is there if you listen carefully
..at least I think it is
Ok...im worried.....did your Z got to you at night?
Hahaha just pure fun here,but serious that ticking is normal?

Hi All,
Since the past two days, whenever someone calls and I pick up the phone, the sound comes through the speaker, i.e. very high. I have to reduce that sound using the volume buttoms. This happens with only a few calls, not all. I have a screen protector on the phone, as usual.
I have restarted, reset, etc. to no success.
Can anyone suggest what the problem is?
Thanks
Are you using any sound mod?

I have done that yesterday as well. No luck. The problem still persists.
mine is like that as well. i can hear it even in the back of the phone... I checked clearsound and uncheck xloud and it got a little better but i still need to turn down the volume to people not listen to my conversation :x
when you state "speaker" you are referring to the speaker on the bottom right?
or do you mean the vibration through the back (near the camera area)?
edit: just did a test, it feels like its coming out from the speaker speaker but its not, the sound feels like its actually coming from the near back. I guess its not sealed tightly or just xperia z has really good loud earphone speaker.
No i was talking about the call speaker. Sry if i misunderstood

Hi, i tried playing music with ear phones but the music sounds weird the vocals is really low you can heat the drum really loud and when the music is on the chorus it's so loud. I thought my ear phones broken but i tried using another ear phone and it still the same. I'm worried i hope its not hardware problems but i think it is... is my phone's audio port broken?

Uncompatible ear phones!
Same with LG headphones but when I press and hold mic button on the earphone sound turns fine!
Better to change earphone , you can't hold button forever!

When i shake or move fast my xperia v something sound inside. Not the buttons of volume or the switch on button because i press them and still something sound...dont know if i should go to the shop to use the guarantee or its normal...
Thanks all bros
I think you should go becouse mine is normal no sound or someting like that .
Dropdeadsilent.
Mine makes a sound too, but i think a thread like that was already discussed here on XDA and lots of Xperia V users said that they phones too have a sound when shaked.
I bought mine on April, 2013, It's working a 100% fine.
Mine too...
That started when the usb cover was pulled off the phone by accident... I think a little plastic piece was left inside perhaps...

Starting two days back, my Z1 receives incoming calls on external speakers instead of internal, so every incoming call starts that way. I need to manually put the call in internal speaker mode.
Unrooted, 4.3, the .290 build.

Same here, seems the priblem is latest Sony Sociallife update.
Try the following: clear cache and data, uninstall updates, deactivate app, restart. Let me know.

Well, what I did was have someone call me, and call answering was sent to external speaker as usual. During the conversation, I plugged in the headphones and call went to headphones, and then, during the call, I removed them.
After that, I had another three incoming calls, and everything went back to normal, calls were directed to internal audio, not external.
I did that, because I remember that two days ago I was using Walkman app, headphones on, and phone rang. Answered the call from phone's dialler app, and all was fine. And since then, it all started with calls to external, like the phone did not "remember" that headphones were removed.
But that is just my guess, since it seems this plugging/unplugging headphones now fixed it. But you also might be right, since it's two days ago that I've updated Socialife app indeed.
I will keep monitoring incoming calls' behavior, and if it reverts back to external, I will unistall updates, and clear cache etc.
Oh, and before doing the headphones trick, just plain restarting the phone didn't work.
Let me know if you can pinpoint more exactly the cause of all this.

u place your phone on a flat surface? if its so, than the phone is helping u to use external speaker since u r not not bringing up the phone to your ear.
This just started happening to me to, was going to post about it. Going to try some of your suggestions.

No, phone is not on a flat surface, it is happening even when I put it to my ear, the call stays on external speaker, and I have to tap the on-screen button to direct it to internal speaker.

In my case it seems that the headphones trick did the job (so far), but if it will persist, I will take a closer look at the Socialife app as well.

Happening here with me as well. Can anyone confirm if it's socialife?

Well, this morning I took a call, and again, on external speaker...
I uninstalled Socialife updates, see how it goes from there.
I don’t have the slightest idea why this started to happen..

Maybe if we clear data and cache from the phone app fixes the problem?...my problem is gone after doing the headphone trick so can anyone else try it or did anyone tried it already?
Sent from my C6903 using Tapatalk
I did the headphone trick, but it didn't work for long, after three or four calls, it reverted back to external speaker.

Hello.
I tried:
Disable Sony social l./uninstall updates.
Phone cache clear.
Software repair via Sony pc compaion.
Problem not solved.
Always after phone restart, first incomming call goes to L.speaker.
So Today i tried to uninstall latest Google chrome update(28.02.2014).
After phone restart first incomming is ok- loudspeaker is disabled!
So maybe its a Google chrome problem?
