When I plug my Z3C into either the dock or magnetic charging adapter it plays a sound.
I don't want it to do this as its loud and annyoing, and pointless imho.
After some research I found the sound is this one.
/system/media/audio/ui/ChargerPluggedIn.ogg
I tried to remove it but the filesystem is read only and I am not root either.
The work around I have now is to turn the sound off, plug on the charger, then turn sound back on.
Anyone know how to turn it off?
Get root or live with it?
Thanks, I was hoping there was another way.
Seems strange that you can't turn it off.
I too have this same issue. Would like to turn off charge sound but there is no setting to do so. I would rather not root until the is a way to keep all features.

Indeed, what's more important, DRM keys or a sound (I know what I'd choose)
And what might that choice be? Im curious. I can get at least 30% better battery life and better audio with viper plus more. Vs. Worst camera function.. I'm still trying to decide

My XT will be here next week (hopefully) and I'm curious how NFC works. I understand the technology but how it works on the phone itself. It is another radio that you can turn on and off? If so does it have a noticeable impact on battery if left on, or can you leave it on all day and not worry about it?

Yes it's another radio with a toggle.
No it doesn't really have an impact on battery life.

Pretty much sums it up. You will also notice that when sending a larger file (pictures for example) it will automatically switch on Bluetooth on both devices and send like that, then switch if off. I haven't really used it yet, which is a shame.

This pretty much sums it up from both a spec and uses point of view.

I bought some Smart Tags on a whim and have found them both useful and frustrating. Useful in that they can be used to perform several actions on the phone at the same time and frustrating because you have to unlock your phone before anything works (so I couldn't just jump in the car and swipe the phone by a tag to turn on Bluetooth and make sure my sound mode is set to normal!)
My thread has useful posts (by other members,mainly) about different types of tag and different apps to use with them.

As most of us know our beloved Note (1) doesn't have the "notifications LED" present in so many dumber and older phones.
After completely breaking the power button from just checking if there's any notification I've got a new phone and I'm on a quest for finding some alternative notification.
So, it seems that in order to actually GET that there's some notification you need to have talkback enabled and that's buggy (you get this spooky voice when doing certain tasks). FINE, I disabled (freeze) both samsung and google TTS (although I didn't really wanted, but OK). Then I get a hand icon in the notification area with "talkback activated". Ok, FINE. I'm using Flashlight Notifier (which flashes the camera LED) and it seems to be somehow working, except that it leaves the (camera) LED turned on continuously!!!
I seems that there's some other option to flash the soft buttons backlight but it needs some very old (I think GB) ROM and I'm not going there. For what is worth I'm on a stock new JB with speedmod kernel.
In short, any solution that "just works", getting extremely frustrated with all the stupid problems I run into? I need notification for gmail, hangouts, sms, missed calls, nothing fancy.
Whats wrong with vibrate and message/ring tone?
This is question. So should be in Q and A thread
a. vibrate/ring disturbs people around (especially when there are at least 10-20+ notifications coming every day)
b. you might step out briefly and you might not take the phone (all the time...) with you to WC and such. Yes, some applications allow for repeat rings (like the default SMS app) but that only makes (a.) worse
I think it is good to be able to just look at the phone and see that you don't want to turn the screen on as opposed to turning the screen on, see you don't need anything from there, turn it off.
If a mod wants to move the thread please and thank you.

Thanks, interesting but not at all what I want. Just want something to blink reliably ...
There's a whole cohort of software that does that but is usually geared towards making the "real" notification LED blink in various colours and also it usually shares the talkback (samsung) bug (but I'm willing to work around it).

NoLED seems to be fine (I was thinking for a long time that on OLED it might be a good idea to have some "few pixel" notifications, although I understand there is still significant power consumption even with OLED and few pixels on).
The device still deep sleeps (at least without notification) but of course this is the type of thing liable to kill the battery overnight.
Still, it works great and for most notifications I need it doesn't even need talkback (that's a big plus because I don't have to freeze TTS). And it looks great! Will report later or tomorrow how things go, with my luck I'll run into some issues in no time.
wow

The battery drain was extra 2-3% while me and the phone were sleep from 10pm to 6am. Acceptable. Good. With setting - noled always on and battery % while charging on.
Thanks.

lol, maybe they obtimized it, that is good news if true. The wakelock occurs when not charging btw.
Thank you everyone!
NoLED is great for now, battery life is good, it catching all I want (maybe except hangouts) without enabling accessibility and is better than I dreamt.
Maybe, maybe a little concerned with display life now (it looks like there is still some kind of backlight, not only the small icons) but overall it looks good!
Maybe some option to blink the camera LED would still be good but you can't have everything.
Hello
I've rooted my xperia t to install a custom mod on it. But I haven't had the time for it to install it. Recently I started to use my xperia to listen to music more, and when I unplug my headphone, my xperia sometimes thinks my headphone is still plugged and doesn't play any sound through the speakers. So I've missed already several times my alarm. I use the standard in ear headphone of apple, the ones you get free with your ipod.
So before I install a custom rom, I want to know if this is because I rooted my phone or it is a common problem and how to fix it? I already googled it, but I didn't find anything useful. Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Greetings

Hello, this does happen sometimes on my phone too!!
This is not because of phone being rooted.
My phone is rooted too.
All you have to do, is re-plug the headphones in the socket and then take it out and this should make the speakers work,
If not, you can always reboot the phone.

Yes, I've figured that out aswell, but it's annoying. Sometimes I forget to check if my sound works, I set my alarm and it doesn't go off. AFAIK, it's a software problem, so wouldn't be there anything to fix this problem? Wierd, sony never released anything to fix this problem as other people have the same problem aswell. Now I'm afraid to install a custom rom on it due to warranty, as maybe I will have to bring my phone in to fix it.
Same bug exists with Xperia V

Yes, this same bug exists on my Xperia V as well. However, one would suspect it could be a hardware fault, mainly because if it was present on every Xperia V/T phone out there, there would logically be a LOT more uproar about it.
If anyone knows whether or not the actual cause of this, do let me know. Some people are pointing to Sony's Smart Connect as being the culprit, but I have tried both disabling all its features, and also editing the headset and headphone profiles to FORCE (=add actions) sound mode to normal and volume to a certain point upon removal of headset - no help. In fact, on my phone not even plugging the headset back in and out helps, I seem to always need to reboot.
Official response from Sony is "we cannot reproduce the problem". But it is relatively widespread.
Just to let you know, and I'm not 100% sure about this "fix", but so far so good.
I downgraded Smart Connect via Google Play ("uninstall", so all updates gets removed) and deleted all headphone and headset events in the old version (the Music on the go and Music at home events). Been using the phone for a day without the bug appearing now - so if you're willing to part with Smart Connect's features, this might help you too.
Hi thanks for the heads up. I'll look into this after my exams. Yes I'm willing to delete smart connect. Never used it and I should even look it up to know what it means

Two days ago I downgraded Smart Connect. Looks like that's the fix. I still haven't had the issue since I downgraded Smart Connect. Thanks for the tip!
This bug seems have been solved in coming JB 4.3 update (I'm using the leak for a while and no longer such bug)

Hello, found this article and last post user "roufa besst". Worked for me.
Hope that solve your problem.

Basically it's not a software problem and I know it's very annoying... The problem is in the jack hole itself,
Don't ever try to do a factory reset because this won't fix that bug
You can either clean it "hardware fix" (hard method),
Or download this app on Google Play here #adfly /1d8wfk# {sorry, the site is preventing me from putting links} "software fix" (easy way but you may have to open the app every time it is terminated by a ram accelerator like clean master or something like that)
Hope this works for you
And plz tell me if my English is bad
When I turn off the screen the audio click doesn't happen until the screen goes black. On my roommates Nexus 5 with Lollipop the clicks as soon as he hits the power button.
FYI, the audio click happens right away when unlocking.
Hey, this is quite normal for almost all androids. Nearly all my phones have done this before. My suggestion is to download clean master and free up as much ram and space before locking the device. Ram normally causes stuttering and with encryption enabled, ram as affected.
change the sound?
Do you guys know if we could change the sound?

Find the sound file and replace it. Its probably located in /system/media/audio somewhere.

hi guys, I was wondering if exist in the store any kind of app that can auto turn off and on the phone.
I'd like to switch off the phone during the night and than auto switch on before the alarm.
Is that possible?
thanks to everyone
Turning off, yes. How do you expect the phone to turn back on via an app if it's turned off?

Why do you want turn off your phone at night anyway? If it's because battery drain, probably turning off and turning on your phone drains more battery than just leaving it on all night, but if you still think that your phone uses too much battery while you are sleeping, just put it in Airplane Mode, it can be done automatically using Tasker or any other similar app.
Yes I know, but I wanna turn off completely

Sure they COULD... but it would require hardware support to be anything more then basically just turning off the screen and radio connections...
I think the real reason its not there is because why? How many people are actually looking for this? Most will run for a week + if left on airplane mode with the screen off. Who is looking for more then that?
What are we trying to accomplish here?
very old nokia phones could do that
Use Tasker to put the phone into airplane mode? That's about as good as it's gonna get.
