[Q] Headset microphone control DISABLE - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I've got my Xperia z1 c6903 for around 2.5 year and it is understandable that some commitments can be (half)broken like my 3.5 jack port...
What is wrong with it?
No matter what ROM I'm using stock custom or cm based, I have randomly activated some headset controls:
Google now launches,
Volume is going up or down,
Music is paused....
And all of that is happening even if I don't have headset with control buttons or microphone!
I'm wondering if there is any way to to completely disable headset controls somewhere in buildprop or deeper in system or by Xposed module or via some magic app....
Could someone help? It might help other users too
Thanks in advance

and what I did? i just simply deleted every line from system/usr/keylayout/msm8974-taiko-mtp-snd-card_Button_Jack.kl file
It's working for now but I don't know if it will be stable.

Sir, when i plug in my headset, it displays the error *Headset not supported. Use another headset or visit the Sony Mobile support site for more information.*
Although i have been using the same headset for a year or two . This just happend last night. And i have not downloaded anything. It just happend randomly. My question is, flashing this file can repair the problem?

looks like its another problem people are facing
look here http://bit.ly/2k9T85D
Try
Setting>apps>all>smart connect clear data and Cache then force stop and reboot your phone
You can also make a backup in recovery and flash headphone fix if the above solution didn't work.

[Q] One calling last dialed contact from my pocket

5 times over the last few days my phone has called the last dialed contacts while sitting in my phone. I think it's something to do with removing the headphones (stock) while Spotify is playing as the last two times that's when it happened but it may be a coincidence as I can't replicate it.
Has anyone had this happen or heard of something similar?

I had a similar problem that unlocked the lockscreen with just tapping the screen anywhere. Could it be that your phone is doing the same?

I'm not too sure what makes the lockscreen behave like that as I couldn't diagnose the problem properly.
Here's what i did just before the phone stopped doing it:
First I completely turned off the phone by long pressing the power button until the timer ran out​Then I pressed the VOL- key while still holding the power button to go into bootloader​Once in the bootloader I simply booted into recovery​Finally from recovery just held down power until phone booted up again​I'm not sure which step fixed it for me if bootloader, recovery or simply completely turning off the phone but after i did that the lockscreen went back to normal.
I suggest you try every one of the steps once in order to better evaluate which step fixes this (if it fixes them at all)
Let me know how you get on
Tried those steps, unfortunately my lockscreen is acting as it did before. But thank you for your help

No problem, sorry it didn't work like it did for me
I wonder why the lockscreen does that and if we are the only ones that have the problem

Are sure your not pressing play/pause on your headset twice . That dials the last number.

Thanks for the tip its good to know, hopefully someone will find some other way to fix it without losing apps and data
If you're experiencing the bug where pressing anywhere on your One's lockscreen causes it to unlock, you've prolly got an app installed that has an Accessibility Service component to it. If you have any Accessibility Service enabled, it will cause this bug. (Light Flow and the Pebble smartwatch apps are 2 common apps that use an Accessibility Service).
On your phone go to Settings: Accessibility and look under Services. If anything there is enabled, disable it and that should stop the lockscreen from behaving this way.
This bug will also cause the phone to answer any incoming call if you press anywhere on the lockscreen while your phone is receiving a call.

I'm not aware of any way to fix it, unfortunately. Wish I knew a way, believe me, because this issue is keeping me from using the full functionality of my Pebble smartwatch with my HTC One. :crying:
I've actually mentioned this bug to a couple of HTC employees in a thread on Reddit here:
http://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/1d6we1/hello_from_htc/?limit=500
and one of them has already brought this to the attention of some HTC engineers, so hopefully it will be fixed with a future update!

Cheers, it's almost certainly the pebble doing it then; it's seemingly happening whenever I pull out headphones that have a microphone and button, while music is playing through Spotify and my pebble is connected.

thanks for the info, this has been driving me crazy as well.
i have found that killing the lockscreen with a task killer will revert it back to pull to unlock for a while for some reason.

Xperia T no sound after unplugging headphone

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)

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

[Q] Call Volume automatically decreases when a new call came at my Xperia Z1

I experience a strange problem after updation of 4.3 in my xperia Z1, When i receive a new call, the call volume automatically decreases, I have to increase the volume every time to hear the person loud. After updating to 4.4, the problem still exists. Is it any option that can turn off this ? or any problem with mobile ?
Did anyone experience the same problem ?

This seems more like a software problem rather than a hardware problem. You could try to factory reset your device (make sure to backup the things you don't want to lose) to see if that works. I don't seem to have this problem on 4.4, I could be mistaken though, but I don't call all that often so I haven't really noticed it.

Pac rom

Hi, I'm currently on PAC and my touch screen behaves weird after a few minutes of use, need to sleep and unlock the phone to have it back to normal, any ideas?
I also have this bluetooth mono headset that I use for music, when I click the answer button, it brings up the voice recognition thing, any way to make it play/pause my music that is playing on Apollo?
Thanks
If the Developers did not fixed this yet then there is no fix, to get rid of that just try different ROM.

dude, that was a problem with your phone, is not a Rom issue, you had a chance to take it to support but it was XD!!!
just checking, is there anyone else experiencing this issue? I want to make sure that it's an issue with the digitizer before I flash back to stock and send it in.

Update:
Finally sent my phone back to sony for repair, first repair, on inspection at the counter, found 3 dead pixels, so they had to send it back for repair again. It is back with me now, but I'm still experiencing the same issues on the latest stock rom and the panel looks slightly different from the one I had before (light and proximity sensors can be seen, easier to see transistors under screen in sunlight..) do they have different versions of panels?
