I upgraded the Xperia Z to 4.2.2 OTA (rooted and dualrecovery installed)a couple of days ago. Everything is fine with the exception of one thing. During a call, the phone doesn't display the numbers that are being pressed, for example, when I dial into a conf line, to enter the conf code I cant see what numbers are being pressed. Does anyone else have the same issue or is it just me. I dont want to reset the whole phone only to discover that its an issue with the actual firmware.
Appreciate any help.
Cheers

PS: this is first thread that i started on XDA YAY!
Backup your files and
repair it with Sony PC Companion, or Sony Update Service or flash another FTF file. (wipe everything) Do a clean install.
I am experiencing headphones detection problem with my Xperia Z1. Headphones are correctly detected first time after reboot. If I try to plug them in after that phone doesn't detect them any more (external speaker is used even after I've plugged them in).
I contacted Sony support and they suggested it might be Smart connect. I cleared it's cache. Didn't help. I disabled/removed it. Didn't help either. I downgraded to an older ROM (don't remember if it was 4.2 or 4.3) and it worked as expected. Then I downloaded fresh .ftf of latest rom. Same problem re-appeared. Tried with Kit Slim custom ROM (based on 4.4) and experienced same problem.
It is obviously a SW problem. Is there any app which would allow me to manually direct sound to either destination? I have SSH server running on my phone. Is there any way to do this via shell? Any API call that I could utilize? I have no experience with Android dev but I am SW engineer and I think I could implement a simple app like this if someone would point me in the right direction.
Thanks!
it's definitely something with smart connect. had the same issue some days ago...... unistalled smart connects updates and installed them again -> works!
Tried that already. Didn't help
I contacted Sony support again and they suggested to try PC Companion's repair feature. What will that do? How that relates to the fact I'm running a rooted custom kernel?
Thank you!
hm try to flash .157 with flashtool. after that flash trinity kernel via flashtool and fastboot -> should work like charm dont forger to save your data before that I did the same and it worked for me
Where could I download that?
Hey guys,
I bought a new xperia z c6603 few day ago, everything was working fine until I discovered some issues few days ago:
First: I can't do the lollipop update, I have even tried to install it with flashtool it still doesn't work.
Second: the front camera doesn't work at all.
Third: when I use android kitkat the nfc doesn't work and everytime I turn the phone on I receive a message concerning NFC Firmware Update Error (000004), but when it runs on andorid jelly bean 4.3 I don't receive the error message and the nfc works perfectly.
I have tried everything (Flashing the device with flashtool, doing a factory reset, trying to repair to software with pc companion) nothing works.
I thank you in advance for helping me and I apologise if i did any grammatical mistake .
Hi my xz1 compact has a problem after update to 9, when I call i don't hear a voice I need to put loudspeaker.
I tried factory reset and companion repair.
Now I am looking to downgrade to 8 but cant find firmware, most of the times it has been removed.
what now?
Customized NOBA latest Oreo: http://aeitis.org/xz1c/
i have following problem: i got a xz1c without original firmware. i have no backup with the Stock-Rom. I installed twrp and flashed lineageos16 lilac. everything works excepted the microphone and speaker during a call. That means: i can start the call, and it is ringing at the other person, but i can't hear anything. no connection ring and no voice. the other person can't hear me also. microphone and sound/loudspeaker works in all other apps (i tested music-player, voicemail, recorder). i tried different call apps. nothing works.
the big problem is: i can't switch back to firmware because it doesn't exist as backup. i can't flash other ROM, because this lineage version is the only one i can flash. RR, AOSP, etc. failed all during installation.
what can i try? Has anybody a backup from firmware of the g8441, i can try?
i tried with a lot different files, for example androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=274221
either the filelink is broken or the flash failed during flashing.
i get crazy :-/
p.s.: I'm no expert in flashing phones, so please be sorry if i don't understand everything or if i use wrong words for explaining

Hi!
Did u install Ainur Sauron and tweaked sauron.useroptions? If that's the case, look, under
"Experimental Qualcom only options",
did u set the option in line 82 "COMP=true" ?
I think, by removing the headphone compander from audio mixer s.th. goes wrong with routing to the right audio output channel, again.
Just from interest: perhaps u could check, if u have some pluggable headphones near u, if the left channel is a lot quieter?
Had this, I would call it "Xperia-Head-/Earphone issue", comin from Stock .228, after clean and fresh install of that unofficial one in LOS 16 1.0 (unofficial). I wondered, that after flash-routine, but before installing Ainur in Magisk, with my all-time-useroptions for sauron, still in internal memory (I didnt wiped internal memory, btw.) A friend was calling me, and everything was fine.
In the afternoon, after flashing Sauron, with this COMP-option set to true, same issue again. I had a few more options ticked, but that one seemed to make a lot more sense to me, not to be used with my XZ1c, again.
This will help u, perhaps.
U don't need to flash anything, if evreything is proper installed and working fine, except ur "Xperia-Head-/Earphone issue".
