Ive installed the latest cyanogen mod rom and i have been using it for a while. There are a few bugs i have noticed through my use of the phone and they are kinda getting annoying.
First of all i have noticed randomly while i am listening to music the music app that came with cyanogen will freeze up and then it will start again but after it does that there is no sound. And when i force close the application, i use the controls on the side of the phone to change the volume and it will only change the media volume not the ringer volume. to fix this when it happens i have been having to restart the phone and go on from there.
Another bug i have been noticing is when i turn the phone to vibrate mode using the controls on the left of the phone when i recieve a text i do not get a notification. I would excpect that it would vibrate as well.
Another one is that when i am listening to music and i recieve a text it will turn off the sound similar to the first bug i talked about. It says it is still playing but there is no sound coming from it. To fix it i have been having to restart the phone.
To listen to my music with my earphones i have an adapter and some times when i am using that the phone will go into a reboot loop until i take out the adapter and then once the phone is back up plug the adapter back in.
These are all quite annoying and i would like to see if you guys have any input on the matter. Thank you
I don't think that any of these are platform bugs, but rather are cyanogen bugs. I suggest you post bug reports to cyanogen's bug tracker.

Well i thought about that as well but i looked at the rules for the bug tracker and i am currently in the process of making more accurate bug reports for the bug tracker. I came here to see if i could get any quick fixes or to ask if these are common things or i may just have to format my phone and reinstall cyanogen. So yeah i hope i can get some feedback from other users. I may just have to format as i said but i hope that there could be something else i could do. dont want to just go to all that trouble to not get it fixed.
edit: I looked further into the bug tracker for cyanogen and i dont have the required materials to make a report as i dont have a log of the issue. its just something that tends to happen.
Its happening alot today and well yeah its getting really bad, i dont think there is anything wrong with my phone. So i think i am just going to format and reinstall a new rom. idk if i will stay cyanogen or not. anyone have any recomendations for the rom i should install?
Super D is pretty awesome. It's an improvement on the Cyan roms. So you get Cyan plus some extras.
Could i get a link to the correct version i should use?
Yep here is the link for Super D
thank you installed it and i am no longer having any issues. Wonderful
Hey,
So my dad isnt exactly satisfied with the custom ROM I flashed on his device, he needs to wait about 4 - 5 seconds (!) when theres an incoming call for the screen to turn on. The ringtone will keep on going off during that few seconds, but the screen will be black.
So I tested it on my Nexus 4, and no such issue has been spotted by me. Although, on his device, no matter how many times I tried, the issue was never gone and I had to wait a couple of seconds for the screen to turn on so I could see who's calling.
I'm not sure whether it is a kitkat issue or not, I tried 2 different roms, first BeanStalk, and now CyanFox, both had the same issue.
I also tried to flash CM10.1, but the keyboard kept on crashing after a fresh flash, wipes didnt help (maybe someone could give me a hand here?).
Another question is, where can I find some good call recording app? the ones from the play store aren't good, they only record one side of the call, never both
tl;dr:
is there some setting that I should change for the screen to turn on quicker when theres an incoming call on kitkat?
what to do if I want to downgrade from kitkat to jellybean?
is there some GOOD call recorder app around?
thank you

If you still on cm10.1 then download keyboard from market and you are good to go Also stock 4.1.2 has this lag issue when incoming call its pretty annoying really

hey, thanks for your reply
actually no, STOCK 4.1.2 didnt have this issue, it started to show when I flashed 4.4.2 on it, is there some sort of fix for this or do I have to downgrade to JB? I'd rather stick to KK as I prefer it more.
on the other hand my dad hated google hangouts and he wants the stock messaging app back, I guess I can only go with CM
also I cant install a keyboard from the market, because I cant even log in to my google account, I cant get through the setup without a few things crashing over and over again, every second or so. the keyboard doesnt even show up
delete the latinIme.apk from the zip file you are trying to flash and substitute it with one from the other roms you tried flashing.
I know how to control the delay with which the ringer starts but not screen :s
These commands I think only help when call ends but it doesn't hurt to try, add them (or check the values if already present)
to build.prop in zipfile before you flash it
Code:
ro.lge.proximity.delay=5
mot.proximity.delay=5
I am on kitkat right now and have no lag issue...have you tried changing kernel?

I flashed Nameless ROM and surprisingly the lag issue is gone, and due to stripped gapps I flashed, I got the old messaging app back, which is quite the perfect combo, now the only thing I am missing is a good call recording app, is there a chance you can suggest one to me?
thanks again!

well I tried it out, the rom is nice and all, but my phone is extremely slow, the lag issue with phone calls is back, sometimes turning the screen off is impossible, or takes up to 2 minutes (!). turning it back on isnt much better either, I dont know what the problem is, the same thing happened on the BeanStalk ROM so I assume it isnt a software issue, but a hardware one, do you have any ideas what could be the problem and how can I solve it?
I want to tell you my experience about custom roms.
I don't know if you tried this combo: CM11 + kicos kernel (modified iodak's kernel) + minimal PA gapps
I works for me very well.

yeah, but shouldnt all the 4.4.2 ROMs be quite snappy? doesn't kitkat reduce the hardware requirements? why would JB work fine (or so I think, I'll go back to stock in a few mins and see) and KK be laggy as hell?
I've got a theory, I'm not a hardware guy and I dont know if I'm right or not, but:
could be that one of the cores is damaged and the system tries to switch some tasks to the damaged core (if android handles different cores the way I think) and that core doesnt really work the way it should, causing the entire system to work like a granny?

This is probably some wake/lock problem with software. Also on my o2x i've noticed strange lag when i press the power key it has lag until the screen comes on buttons below the screen light and after a couple of seconds the screen. It has 4.3 CM rom there if your father is using this phone i would suggest you some stock based rom with custom kernel. They should not have problems like these.

That still the best sollution for him - optimized kernel with stable ROM. He probably isn't techno freak?

could be, however, it isnt only for the power button, when the screen is off and a call is coming, it needs a few seconds for the screen to turn on, after the call is done, the system is all choppy and laggy. Turning the screen off after that is also nearly impossible, due to power button malfunction. I went back to stock for now and I'll see if the lag is gone, if it isnt, then its probably a hardware issue.
edit:
yeah, I'm on stock 4.1.2 and the issue isnt gone.
crap.
sounds like a problem in the timing the processor uses for scaling frequencies...
hav no idea what could be causing it unless you have some kernel tweak app and set wrong values
Have you tried clean flashing the Roms you installed? Have you Factory-Reset, Cleared cache, cleared Dalvik cache, and maybe did a system partition format before flashing?

I got my phone about a month ago. I updated the software to 4.4.2 kitkat released by sony. It's not rooted. This problem occured yesterday for the first time. When I call someone or someone calls me, the earphone doesn't work. I don' hear anything. When I run earphone test in Service tests, it works fine. The problem is fixed when I reboot the phone. But I can not reboot the phone everytime. It happened once yesterday and next time now. I am so pissed off. This is my first sony phone and so far I am very dissapointed. My audio jack flap is opening by its self and as I can see a lot of people complain about it. I hope this can be fixed

Hi, is there any particular reason why you want to keep using stock firmware and not to root?
If not might I suggest rooting and using a custom firmware, because in my experience custom firmware is much more reliable than the stock.
Its really quite easy to do and the phone seems to benefit from doing a clean install getting rid of any junk thats built up over time.
Good Luck!

I recommend you to use SUS or Sony PC companion to "reinstall" FW i am not sure if this can help you but its better than sending it to repair center without trying anything. Good luck and don't forget to backup you data, etc.
Same Earphone problem
Hello, i have the same issue too. Every rom (stock based) i install, that use 4.4.2 have the same issue.
Its very annoying, have someone can resolve this?
I have, UB and at moment ExistenZ Rom
I just opened the forum to make a thread about this, as I'm facing the same problem and it can get really annoying.
Sometimes my phone works normally for 3-4 days, and then it just suddenly happens. Someone calls me, and I can't hear them, but they can hear me...and after I reboot it usually works.
I flashed the 4.4.2 UK Generic a few days ago, and now I face two different problems regarding calls : first one is like this, I can't hear people that are calling me, and the other is that sometimes I don't hear them for a few seconds and then I hear them again, and then again I can't during the call. Don't know if this is firmware based, I guess it is. If I can remember correctly 4.3 worked perfectly, as I got the phone already on 4.3 firmware.
Also Cyanogenmod has the same issue, as well as PAC-man (some versions of these ROMs, the ones I tried LOL) so I'm wondering could it be a hardware issue...what are your experiences? If someone can confirm that it is a firmware issue and that 4.3 doesn't have these problems, I might actually switch back because its annoying and the phone seems to be working better on 4.3, even though I love the transparent interface of Kitkat =)
Have a nice day guys, hope we will fix this issue !

In 4.3 stock, the earphone seems work well, but i want 4.4, and for some time it worked
Hi there
I'm having exactly the same issue on 4.4 (existenz ultimate)
I can confirm once I had this issue on stock 4.3 rom as well (existenz 7). I installed Soundabout app and it fixed the issue somehow, and i never experienced the problem until yesterday (on 4.4) . I again installed soundabout, it worked for some time, but now earphone doesn't work again. It's really frustrating! According to service test it's not a hardware problem. But could sony engineers make the same mistake twice (both in 4.3 and 4.4)?

So, are you positive its not a hardware issue? I sure hope that Sony is going to fix this and all the other Kitkat problems they've had with this new update that got certified (10.A.5.1.283)..Its probably going to be 4.4.4 and the last update for Xperia Z, as Android L is probably reserved for newer phones and Sony won't get anything from supporting the update for the original Z.
I really like Kitkat but if this earphone bug is related to Sony's Kitkat update and the next version doesn't fix it, I'm sure I'll get back to 4.3, as its really frustrating when you need to make an important call, or if you're in a hurry about something and your phone doesn't work...
If anyone knows the cause of this or is certain that it is related to specific firmwares please help us out and write it here.
Greetings from Bosnia
Lets hope it will be fixed on 4.4.4
maybe i will try another stock firmawares, based on 4.4.2, just for know if its region firmware related

i try existenz v7 and have the same problem, but its based on 4.3, and stock 4.3 work fine to me, so i think maybe is something related to 4.4 sony framework
hello, i have tested lots off roms and the problem is ther on almost 4.4 rom. the Free Xperia rom, not have this problem.
i was thinking is there is some app that can manually disble the 3.5mm jack is on solution, but i not find that for 4.4
lets keep trying
I'm on stock .230 and never had this problem...

I don't know if this has been answered anywhere and I am sincerely sorry if it has been.
I am faced with a peculiar problem with my 18K Mi Mix. The phone came with 8.2.5.0. When no updates were forthcoming I decided to root and install a custom ROM. Everything went fine and the phone booted up and I installed my apps. I was using 7.8.31 version of the Beta ROM. However I was faced with a problem of a crackling or static like noise in the background while making calls. The speakerphone and headphone or Bluetooth headset has no problems. Only the call speaker. So I imagined it to be a hardware problem and went back to stock. To my surprise, the problem vanished in stock ROM and any ROM based on Android 6.0. It is only present in Android 7.0. So I guess it might have something to do with the Android 7 ROMs themselves.
Has anybody here faced such issues. If you have kindly help me. I am kinda addicted to the 7.0 ROMs and wish to stay on them if I can get rid of this issue. I was using the Global stable ROM earlier.
Thanks for any help.

Well you've already done the hard work so may as well stick RR rom on the phone. All problems have been ironed out and think you will be happy, I went back to miui awhile ago had crackling in calls although mainly on Bluetooth.

Thanks. Will give it a try.
Finally cracked the problem. As I had suspected, this is a software flaw. The whole issue was being caused by the proximity sensor. The moment I turned the proximity sensor off all problems have vanished. Have replicated the problem a number of times, so am pretty sure that is the cause. Thanks everyone for your help and suggestions.
you don't fix the problem we need the sensor

You do need the sensor.
But since the problem is not happening with any of the stable version ROMs (I have tried Global stable 8.2.5 and China Stable 8.5.4), I am very sure its not related to hardware. So for the time being I am more than happy keeping the proximity sensor off and using Nougat 7.0 on my Mix. I am pretty sure this has something to do with drivers or firmware and will be taken care of, once the stable versions of 7.0 are released.
