My Vibration Motor is crackling a lot. I Used haptic feedback and i can hear the static like sound while i press.
And during calls, its horrible.
I used Diagnostics and ran the Vibration test, The vibration seems perfect without any issue during that.
Is this A Lollipop only issue or Just mine?
Any other users experiencing this?
Please help me...
I have the same problem too on my Z1, but this Problem appears also bevore the Lollipop Update. In my oppinion this is a general mecanical problem with the viraton Motor in the Z1. I trink there is less we can do about this except that sending it back for repair or perhapps getting a New one with the same fault...

Also happening to me since few days. I know that it happened to users before and seems to be a mechanical issue but it appears in my phone after lollipop update too. And the crackling sound appears only at very low sudden vibrations.

This is true, i've been experiencing this problem since KitKat. It's a hardware problem and there is nothing software can do to fix this. Luckily, mine has been working better again after last week. More users reported it got better after several months, guess i'm one of those users.
Well, I just found out this issue 2 weeks ago. I had turn on "Vibrate when touch" option in Settings > Sound > Other Sound. When I touch the navigation button (back, home, recent apps) the vibration turn strong and produce some crack sound. When social apps notification comes over, the vibrate turn strong some of the time and the crack sound can be heard.
Do you guys send back Sony for repair about this issue?
I had this, as have others. Get the vibration motor changed at a service centre

During calls there comes a moment that people are complaining that they cannot hear me. When i move the jog dial upwards (hence increasing volume) they say that they can hear me ok. I have not experienced this using the bluetooth headset. Maybe a hardware problem??
By the way i used 5 different radios and upgraded also to 6.1.
Anyone experiencing this?
Any solution?
Thanks
same problem and i didnt find any solution ! But my phone came back from the HTC support for another problem, I will check it...

did you send it for this reason?
well my mic was buggered
people would say one min they can here me next they cant
and it would like fade in and out
orange where usless and said they wanted to test it but in the end i went back told them i wanted a new one
and since then i have had no problems
If you can't hear me it means I'm in Parentheses. ))
i guess i have to sent it back then, s*** i have to to revert to original rom now.
anyone else with the problem?
ok you say it is a hardware problem. I did the following: i was speaking continuously for 2 minutes on the mic and i was recording it. When i tried to listen to the recording everything seemed to work excellent. So i guess is not a mic - hardware problem. S*** i am going crazy........
Did you flash with the appropriate radio?
i've had the same problem with my speaker phone; i can hear the calling party; but they cannot hear me; it does not happen all the time; but more often than not (more than 50% of the time).
A person in another forum suggested turning the volume down to half when using the speaker phone so it will work (though it is difficult to hear the calling party when volume is that low).
I know this is unrelated to blue tooth issue; but there seems to be some sort of audio glitch that is similar in both the blue tooth and speaker phone so one has to wonder if there is some type of related root cause to both problems???

when i use bt the problem disappears so i think it has to do with the functionality of the mic?
Well finally after 1.5 month i got back my phone from ACE HELLAS. The problem remains the same although i was told that the microphone and earphone were replaced by new ones. If they are telling the truth and they did change it it means that we are facing a kind of software problem.........
I had the problem, too. I tried dozends of radio roms but problems continued.
After 5 months of trying I repace my VPA Compact V (aka v1615) and now the problem has dissapeared...
So it seems to me that it is a hardware problem of one production run.

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 :|
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.

I definitely think the crackling is a software but and not a speaker hardware problem. I have the same issue, but it's only intermitten. And there are two or three other threads on here about people with crackling issues with lots of replies. I am hoping a fix may come down the road.

It's pretty embarrassing when I pull out this brand new device that sounds like it was dropped in water or someone tried to clean the speakers and messed them up. Cmon software updates!
Sent from my Nexus 6
there was another thread on this i replied to, but someone mentioned they had the same issue. some people have it with the top speaker, some with the bottom. I get crackling in the bottom speaker... In order to not hear crackling, i have to press the volume rocker down 7 times which is insane.
i contacted Google via Google Play store and they are shipping out a replacement after some initial troubleshooting. The rep i spoke with advised it's not normal for crackling and it was the first she had heard of the issue.
One of the forum members in the other thread mentioned they got their replacement and compared the two side to side with someone else in the room just so he knew he wasn't going crazy. The replacement was 100% working, no crackle. Also he advised the new device shipped with the latest firmware on it so it would seem new batches are getting shipped...
ill be receiving my replacement monday and ill try to come back and post results.
Hope this helps!!

Yep same here. I've got my sms tone set to "Elara", and sometimes it starts ok and then gets severely garbled. It's almost as if some other background process is interfering with it. In fact I wouldn't mind betting that's what it is. Also sometimes when I send a viber or a fb messenger message it misses the first half of the sound it makes when you hit send.
Definitely something not right with it, and I agree, for a brand new 500 quid handset it's not on.
I am having the static/crackle issue with my calendar notification (doesn't always happen and I can reliably play the notification through the menu). I have posted a video of it on YouTube. This doesn't seem to be a hardware issue to me as it plays fine other teams and other audio (such as watching music videos) seems to play without fault.
Am not permitted to post links, but here it is with a minor edit.

I too have this issue.
I have already returned one phone and I still have the exact same issue with "new" phone. Even after the 5.1 update.
Intermittent crackling/garbling/static and occasional popping of some but not all notification sounds. I can not predict when it will happen at all.
I have the crackling too. Got my phone 1.5 weeks ago.

I upgraded from a Nexus 5 and am now a proud owner of a Nexus 6. The issue I'm having is that occasionally the haptic feedback on my phone will have weird clicking noises as i'm typing. I have read MANY people having this issue, but i'm not sure if I should get this swapped out or not? Any advice would be appreciated, other than the annoying random clicking of the vibrating motor (which isnt an OS sound nor the camera lens), my device seems flawless. I have heard people swapping them out and getting screens that are tinted yellow/pink though.
P.S. I also have a weird noise when my Nexus 6 starts wirelessly charging.....you hear the sound from the speaker and then the vibration motor makes a hissing noise.....anyone else have that?

Dude I have the same "issue" with the hepatic feedback. Some say it's a manufacture tolerance, some it is de IS of the camera moving by the vibration motor, some that it is the speakers. I really don't know what to think now and I am starting to get used to . I am afraid of replacing it because another manufacture problem could appear.
Because my unit beside this, again, "issue" it's flawless like yours.

If you listen closely to the video I posted, you can here it refocusing in the video. And when I shake it, I hear the same sound. If you are experiencing this, I would get it replaced. I sent mine back yesterday.

That's not focus it seems to be the IS of the camera trying to stabilize the shot. Don't got that problem... Yet hahaha. It started a while after you got the phone or right out of the box???

Well I swapped it out and it seems the vibration click and hissing is gone. You can still hear the IS vibrate, but there isnt that added weird click with it thats random. Im on Sprint, now im having an issue with getting the Data activated UGHH! There is a ! next to the Signal bars and LTE keeps flashing.......durn
So the IS still clicks/vibrate?
Definitively a manufacturing tolerance issue or design one.
