[Q] Notification Tones stuttering - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
This is an annoying sound bug. The notification tones in messaging/email apps stutter; meaning there is a break while playing the tone. Either there is an annoying 'click' at the beginning, which is mostly the case, or the tone 'breaks and resumes, stutters' sometimes in the middle while playing.
I've tried disabling the sound enhancements and different combinations too, but it happens almost all the time during every notification; SMS, Whatsapp, etc. I am on .757. Was happening on .681 too. Not that it is a major issue, but it is quite annoying.
There is one thread on this forum like this some months old, but without a solution. Anybody aware of this problem?
Thanks.
JK

Also got this problem. Would be nice if there is a solution

Seems to have been solved in the recent update to .108

[Q] Strange Sound behavior

Lately i've noticing a strange sound behavior. Whenever i play Music on the loudspeaker Music tends to fade out and in, i mean the volume goes down and then up, and no matter what player i use it,s happening so often that it's getting annoying. Any help or ideas, has anyone faced this problem? And don't know if it's rom related.
it's like something is making the sound to lose focus, like when you recieve a message while listening to Music with a headset but on headset this problem doesn't show up.
And for everyone to know i'm not using any sound mod.
edit: noticed that apps that use audio are crashing more than they should.
Hay man, I have the exact same problem, Sounds fades out then comes back... Oddly enough it's only just started happening in the last day or so. I'm on stock jellybean update with locked bootloader.
Is there any solution to this? Ive tried rebooting etc but no luck.

Try freezing soundenhancement.apk. I know this works on arc, maybe the same bug applies to XT/XTX etc.

Did that and no changes so far.
When playing walkman..i realise that the music seems like its stop and then play again..its stop around half a second..this happen in a few time per song..
Well I'm still having this problem but i've noticed that it happens oftenly whenever i'm listening music on loudspeaker and i open Chrome to navigate, it Triggers the problem. Been trying using Dolphin and it doesn't produce the problem.
I'm not 100% if chrome has to be blamed but that's what i've noticed
This weekend will try changing ROM to see if the problem goes away.
I have noticed this bug as well

Since disabling xloud I don't seem to get the issue anymore, anyone confirm?

I've already tested by disabling xloud, but the problem persists, gonna try rebooting after disabling
Edit: same result after rebooting. The ultimate Test is to play Music then start browsing with chrome (at least with two tabs opened) the Sound will fade out and in eventually. Have in mind that only happens with the internal Speaker of the phone. No headphones or external speakers.
Well moved from TurzzdROM to Gregbradley's Assaye 1.1.0 and there's no sight of the problem, Not saying that was the ROM because i did something else, that is is not enabling Clear phase in Settings/sound, I just activated Xloud and thats it.
So... Try disabling clear phase on settings and rebooting and see if that works.
I'm on JB & is it just me, but I noticed that the sound settings of ringtone & noticifactions isn't very loud.
If you use the max. volume settings, it isn't loud at all....
Any one else noticed this?

Notification sounds not playing completely/cutting off

Hi,
searching about the issue on the internet, I've found alot of topics lying all around the web regarding notification sounds but different phones (SGS2, SGS3, Xperia P,...).
The thing is, no matter what notification I get (I have different notification sounds for different apps), 90% of the time, the notification just doesn't play though to the end but most of the time gets cut off.
Hangouts has different (but system notification sound) and it gets cut off.
WhatsApp has different sound (again, system sound) and it gets cut off.
I'm not sure if this started to happen after upgrading to 4.2.2, it definitely is very annoying.
Anyone else having the same problem? Or anyone has some kind of workarounds for this?
Thank you for your help.

Yes , i'm having the same issue but 10 % of the time max . I don't use hangouts but the SMS sometimes do get cut off . Are you using a sound mod ?
I installed soundmod after having this problems. I haven't noticed any difference between using it or not.
hm. I thought that it was the sound mod . Meh. I have no clue how to fix it , nor that it bothers me that much since it only happens every 2 days or so
Yes having the same issue since the upgrade.. Using non-system and system notification sounds... No sound mod either I'm completely stock.

[Q] Call lag before recieving

Okay. Recently started facing this problem after the 4.3 update. When the incoming call pops up, and when i slide right to recieve the call, the slider and screen hangs for like 3 seconds and then a the call is recieved AFTER a strong vibrate. Also once it totally hung after i slid the recieve dial and i couldn't recieve! Anyone else facing the same problem? Its been irritating coz i can't complete basic functions! Anyone know the cause or the solution? :crying:
(BTW on searching, the same problem plagues a couple of other low end Xperias and they thought its coz of a Voice messenger apps. Well, i don't use any!)
same to me
Same thing happens to me...also sometimes when i answer a call i hear the interlocutor in the speaker from the back (like in hands free). The lag in the aswer or the hands free happens not so often, but it's annoying, specialy from a phone that it's supposed to be...almost premium. I have a Xperia ZR C5502 with Android 4.3, 10.4.1.B.0.101 firmware.
Damn. Same phone and firmware. No one has an answer??

I ve got the same problem too since the update: laggy and straight to speaker...
For the auto speaker I found out that Chrome was the culprit: uninstall all the update and it should be fine.
However it s only a temporary fix as there is chrome update quite often.

[Bug] App sounds stop when intrrupted by a notification.

Hey guys, first time poster here.
Got my P9 the other day, very impressed compared to my old LG G3.
Recently I've noticed however, when running a game, such as "Pokemon Go" or "Fallout Shelter", it runs completely fine and smoothly full sound, etc. up until it's interrupted by a notification by another app.
I.E:
>Playing "Fallout Shelter".
>Get a pop-up notification from Facebook/whatsapp.
>Sound from app running stops and won't start again.
>Try backgrounding "Fallout Shelter" and coming back to it, still no sounds.
>Force stop/quit "Fallout shelter"
>Open/run "Fallout Shelter" again, sounds are working again.
>Get a pop-up notification from Facebook/whatsapp.
>Sound from app running stops and won't start again.
>Repeat.
Not so much a life changing issue, but really rather annoying. I'm assuming this is a software bug, as I've had no issue with this on any of my other devices. Is anyone else having the same issue?
If so, does anyone have any solutions?
Kind regards,
Jake
Same here, sadly I have not found a solution jet

Yep same issue here. Get a text message while playing Pokemon Go and poof, no more music or app sounds until it is quit and re-opened again. Wish these bugs were addressed as they're pretty blatant and annoying.
What about Piano Tiles 2? Sound is totally muffled and of low quality. Anyone experiencing the same problem? It's like Huawei p9 can't play two audios at the same time.
Nothing was fixed so far, right?
Okay guys, I found a small work-around. It is not really convenient but it could solve the issue for you:
There is an app called Volume Control: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=netroken.android.persistfree
and in the app you have the chance to lock certain volumes, like that of notifications, alarms, ringer AND media!
Media was the important one. So it will play your music or apps on the same volume level even if notifications come in. That is not the best solution as you might miss notifications and calls might sound strange with both volumes on max. Anyway, maybe that helps...

Messenger app crash and sporadic drop in call mic volume

Hi all,
Mostly described in title, it's a weird problem because it's very random and doesn't happen all the time. But the messenger app will sometimes crash from what I'm guessing is low memory? Because it only happens after quite a few messages have been exchanged and usually starts when using the over-app layover that messenger has. But the issue will continue when restarting and opening the app organically.
And issue 2 which also seems to be messenger specific, is when video calling, again at completely random times, the mic volume will drop to almost mute. I can't tell when this happens but the person I'm on call with will let me know. And this is a recurring problem, but the weird part is that it doesn't happen all the time either.
I have tried re-installing and even using messenger lite which doesn't actually help...
Was wondering if anybody else has had these issues because when I google around it doesn't seem to be very common. Any solutions or help would be great!
All the best,
Kenny
