Stock headset - right earbud stops working - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

From some time my right earbud goes quiet until it barely plays. I tried disconnecting and connecting again, rebooting the phone and nothing. It still stops working properly. I've found out that after some time it works as it should again, and it goes quiet again. Like an endless loop. Any ideas? I'm not deaf on right ear. Few people confirmed that.

100% faulty earphones, I had exactly the same problem. After playing music for long time my left ear plug start decrease the volume of the music by it-self and the right one was always fine, to end stopping completely after 15 minutes. I was thinking is the phone or the bluetooth handset so I try it on different device and was the same. Next day it start working again like new, but again after playing music for some time it start decrease volume by it-self. It's just defective and when it get a bit hot it stopping working. I got replacement via Warranty. Do the same.

Ear Speaker problem

Got this problem from 3-4 days. During a call, the EAR speaker stops working. Though speaker works. I think it's a problem with software as ear speaker works sometimes.
I 've PureX installed.

Also WiFi of Xperia Z takes longer than other phone to connect to my router. Also I get more Wi-Fi drops than any other phones in my home including Nokia X6. Any solution?
My Z is rooted

my xperia z has the same problem, but mine when i press on the ear speaker the sound is back and it is back to work.
i think the problem is in the hardware.
sorry i don't have the solution but i asked sony customer care about my problem and they said to take to sony service shop
I have exactly the same issue - very intermittent though.
Been happening since the 4.3 update (so last 3/4 days also).
I've just done a wipe of the cache partition to see if that helps. If it doesn't, it'll be a full wipe
Failing that, and I'm really hoping it won't come to this, but I'll have to see if Sony will honour the warranty based on me buying from another country.
All all the things my phone can do - I can't now make a call without being on loudspeaker (or having the headset plugged in!)
Edit: No, still having the same issue - will try a full wipe and report if I find out anything new
water inside had the same pb..
Not been anywhere near water, so not that.
Done a full wipe & restore, but still have the issue intermittently.
I'll have to see if Sony will repair it - tricky I imagine given I purchased it in a different country.
Probably hardware related...
When this problem occur I twist my phone (literally pry it) then the speaker start to work again...
Seems like there a bad connection between speaker and motherboard...

I have the same problem and its related to 4.4 stock firmware, on 4.3 or 4.4 non stock rom the earspeak work perfect
Have same problem, earspeaker stop working and I can only make a call using the loudspeaker or a headset. If I install Smart Connect it shows that a Headset is connected, but there are no headset connected. What I also noticed ist that the microfon also not working in Video recording, etc. only in a call with loudspeaker its working.
I've had the same problem - it's hardware problem... Sony service was not able to set the problem (how stupid is that!) and I've been to another service (my phone is still under warranty) and payed - they replaced the whole air speaker... There's a major number of people who have that problem
It's a model problem... My Xperia z problems: death pixels, unglued backcover, problem wirh ear speaker and problem with proximity sensor....
Unfortunately for me Sony are no longer option when I choose a new smartphone...

I have the earspeaker problem as well for a few month now. After trying different ROMs (CM, RR, Omni, stock) I figured out the speaker works occasionally when I press and twist different spots on the backside a little bit.
At the moment my phone is at a service shop. I hope they will fix that annoying problem.
Sry if i resume that post But it's important :3
Be Careful before send your Phone at customer service for earspeaker substitution, The 80% of earspeaker issues are software (look The thousand of People that's changed earspeaker and have again The same issue in few month).
The constants in almost all The users affected by that problem are: They use sony's walkman and The Phone stop working properly because Android detect AN Headset in The audio jack.
So i try To disabile sony's integrate walkman (uninstall updates and disable application) and "musica in movimento" (in english i suppose is music on trip?).
Result: i can't hear Nothing for earspeakers.
As my Last ship i try a New music player Whit call interrupt function (Aimp). Headset ok, i disconnettere th jack, The song pause, Nice, try To play It without Headset: all work fine (do that thing, It probably permanently fix The issue). Now I'm using that Phone for work and at The moment It Seems work properly (i found that workaround only 3 days ago so is not fully tested)... If someone want try i need some feedback
P.s. I Hope i explain myself quite Well, I'm not english and Write long messages With italian spellcheck is a bloodbath :|

Headphones not working

Anyone else has/had this problem with Z1? Model C6903
My headphones aren't being recognized (I tried several including official sony headphones - i did not try bluetooth headphones) - when I connect them, the headphones icon does not appear in the notification tray.
This problem started after i got my phone from the repair shop (display had to be replaced). Before sending it to repair shop I did a factory reset of the phone.
Guys from the repair shop said they tested the headphone jack by connecting it with speakers and they said sound would play normally over external speakers.
What could be the cause of this (besides faulty repair)? When I get home today I will test the phone with bluetooth headphones, if it doesnt work with them it surely is a software problem..
I am running official 4.3 ROM with stock kernel, unrooted device..
I've even disabled smart connect app but problem is still present
Take a Q-tip cotton ball and put a bit of it in the jack then take the plastic stick of the cotton ball and place it over the tiny cotton in the headphone jack and twist,roll it (clean the headphone jack) using the plastic stick
will try that, but i did not wet the phone..
edit
didnt help
Sometimes happens to me as well... I try with two different pair of headphones for the moment: one works all the times (Monster), the other (WESC) less than 50% of the times.
I'm sure it's some kind of hardware-detection problem.
As you, I didn't get my phone underwater (yet!, but some day I will for sure!)...
strange issue....
Someone on here reported the ring around the opening on their device had moved and was sat proud of the rest of the body, I can't help wonder is this what's happened to yours? Even half.a millimetre would be enough to dislodge the contacts inside the headphone socket.
Never had this issue and my phone was underwater quite a few times.

Xperia Z C6603 no sound from loudspeaker

Hi. I've got an Xperia Z here that I managed to get a good deal on because it doesn't play sound from the loudspeaker. Everything else works absolutely perfect including the headphone port. I've tried putting the board in another z and it still refused to produce sound through that loudspeaker too and another board in this z made it play sound. Does anyone have any idea what could cause this? I know when stuff like that happened psps years ago they had little fuses you could bridge but I can't find any info at all about the z motherboard.
For anyone that's interested it turns out it actually is playing sound but at an extremely low volume level to the stage where you can just barely hear it if you hold it right to your ear.

I have the same problem. In my case, it is probably hardware - related. Here is the picture of broken part.

why is the stock lollipop phone trying to kill my ears?

WTF. Never done anything that radical with this phone but the audio is not even adjustable. Starts in headphones at MAX MAX VOLUME. And from there it is bound to kill the ears. Is this a common bug here? It cant be even adjusted, or shut off.
Never had this problem, what's your Rom?
Edit: Nvm, I just realized that you have stock lollipop

It's happened a few times. I think if the headphones are pulled out and re inserted it is corrected. Still, when it happens it is painful and independent of the set media volume.
I'm finding the phone is built this way deliberately by someone. I mean my ears are ringing this morning from some p. o. s's malware. If I find out who did it I intend to cut out his eyes.

Bluetooth volume super low

So today I tried my loved p10 with different BT headsets and I have to say that Im just shocked- every each of them has horribly low volume- I mean super low. I have cranked volume all the way up, but its only like 50% of what I need. I also noticed that DTS mode cannot be turned on with BT device. Regular wired headphones however are loud just enough.
I have tested all of these BT headphones on my laptop and they are able to produce loud sound easily, so problem is phobe related- any solutions?
Have you tried to turn up bt volume? Once device is connected I have another volume settings, bt volume which is different than the main one.
I'm using bt with plantronics headset and some audio receiver connected to external speakers and it was always fine for me.

There's no separate control for BT volume that i could find. I just got some wireless ear buds and in the same boat. Sounds like garbage with my p10 plus but great with my laptop.
