Stuck in Headphone mode after updating to 4.4.4 - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey,
so I got my new Xperia Z today
It arrived on 4.3 but I decided to flash a 4.4.4 FTF file. Everything worked fine but now the audio only comes through the headphone port.
I tried cleaning it and everything but nothing worked so far...
Hope someone can help me out
Edit: It works normally on firmware 10.4.B.0.569, but everything above that doesnt work
Help would be highly appreciated since I just got this phone

I am having this problem for 1 year. Don't know if its software or hardware issue. anyway app called "SoundAbout" solves the problem.

[Q] Xperia SP Tethering Problem...

Guys anyone tried Tethering on this device? Mine is not working, when I activate it, an error comes and does not activate... It seems like a rom problem, my friends xperia Z doing the same thing... Does anyone know how to fix it? It is all original rom untouched... I sent it to repair but came back as it is like before... No luck...

USB or wifi nothing matters, It just doesn't share the internet... Maybe a firmware problem but Sony is still sleeping...No update or anything to make it work...
Working Fine
i have tried both WIFI and Bluetooth tether and both is working fine without any issue

wifi doesn't work with smartwatch 2

Anyone know a way to keep the smartwatch 2 from messing up wifi? I'm on 4.3 6606
When I y to use wifi with the watch connected I get no data till I turn the watch off.
I have the same problem after the last update 4.3 version 10.4.B.0.569. Smartwatch app v 1.3.19 . I tried two different regions but still the same.
There are many other users with same problem here:
http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Software-Updates/wifi-problem-after-4-3-update-on-xperia-z/td-p/490591
Please modify the title of the discussion because it's hard to understand from results! I was opening a new one!
Put "problems" or "disconnection" please
Yep, I have exactly the same problem with WiFi when using my smartwatch 2 whilst on 4.3.
I tried 2 different ROMs from 4.3 with a wipe before flashing. Both had the same problem, so ended going back to 4.2.2 until someone can find a fix.
Other users with this problem in "4.3 bugs" discussion in general forum.
Same problem here! Still no news from sony though. Now i wish i hadnt updated to 4.3 at all !!! @@@

So i've done my own testing with this, and I think it has something to do with the 2.4ghz wifi radio. If the wifi is on 5ghz, i can connect no issue with the SW2 enabled, but if the wifi is 2.4ghz (or hotspot) it goes.. no
So yeah, until sony has a fix, it's either 5ghz or 4.2.2
do not know.....
I have this problem too
Anyone knows ig this affect other smart watches like Pebble or even bluetooth headphones/speakers?
The Asus tf prime had horrible bt problems with wifi enabled, could be similar?

Sorry, but it only worked for a few hours.
I found it.
What I did was, I took the wpa_supplicant.conf from fw 4.2.2 and replace the one in fw 4.3 and now I can use my SW2 without losing my wifi connection.
Your device has to be rooted.
Use explorer with root excess.
It can be found in here on your device: /system/etc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
Don't forget to reboot your phone.
Enjoy your SW2 on fw 4.3
Cheers
Tnx for the info heyfawakka.
The thing is i am EXPECTING a solution from sony. Why should i have to find a fix for a bug ?

heyfawakka updated his post and he said it only worked for a few hours. You can root your phone and return to 4.2 or you can hope that sony releases a fix for this (i doubt it will be anytime soon )

Hmm. Try to flash a modded version. For example a prerooted one.if still the same problem so you don't have anything you can do only downgrade to 4.2.2 . Or you can try the 10.4.B.0.569 one its also 4.3

No sound in Kitkat

Hi

Any suggestions?

I flashed every 4.4 Roms that i founded in general forum. 6602 and 6603. No chance. I searched forum and find a app named "SoundAbout". I found that problem is OS cant recognize headphone is attach or not (in this case it thinks it attaches so it wont play sound from speaker) with that app I can choose sounds/call play from speaker or headphone or ... . So at least my sister can use her phone but wtf? I can deal with it (probably) but she is 12.

Try the above mentioned feedback aswell, that could be the issue.
I had this problem a year or two ago with this exact phone, turned out to be the cable. Perhaps try a different cable, one that isn't half torn to shreds helps.

hey man, its easy, download this version of sony mobile flasher: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0ByK8JL7P6wDTVi1Xazd4M1RzOUU/edit and download this FTF file (i will give you 5.1.1 bcs i installed that one): http://dfiles.eu/files/tauteu39f and just flash it to your phone
PS EDIT, my suggestion for you is to install stock and then make a clean LineageOS 14.1 INSTALL, its flawless 7.1.1 system
