no sound anymore after a while; camera doesn't work; no ringtone - Sony Xperia T3

I have bought a second-hand Sony Xperia T3 and I have great problems.
After restart the handy is working normal. But after about 7-10 minutes the sound doesn’t work anymore. I see the audio player working but I have no sound via loudspeaker nor via headset. Even when I get a call I hear no ringtone and the handy vibrates about one minute longer though the call has already ended. The camera app also doesn’t work correct. Only after a restart the handy works again correct for about 7-10 minutes.
So I downloaded the original Sony Firmware and flasehd the Handy two times. But I have still these problems.
Does anyone has any ideas?
Now I’m thinking about flashing the handy with a custom ROM.

Because of all my problems with this Handy I probably want to Flash a Lollipop custom ROM. But it seems no Lollipop ROM is working so far for daily use, right? Is there any other custom ROM I could test?

[DEV]Stock Headset behavior to be fixed

Hello,
So we're definitly getting there : more and more fixes for our Android ROMS on the HD2. Major bugs are fewer every month and I'm sure we'll reach a very very close-to-native feel in a matter of months.
Still, some bugs seem resistant or maybe, not looked into. That's the case for the stock headset behavior.
Support for the stock headset has been released a few months are the first Nand Android ROMS back in January but was never really improved. And to be completely honest, it never really worked.
Here is the buggy behavior
Musing listening :
When plugged in, the headset will behave properly : back, pause/play, next buttons respond quite well. However after a while (around a minute of music playback I would say but I guess it could be timed more precisely), they don't. Pausing or skipping to the next song might work but most of the time, it would ask several attempts (from two to ten or more !).
The back button never works : either it does not respond at all, either it behaves as a forward song, skipping to the next song.
You have to actually interact with the player with the touchscreen to restore headset responsiveness. Until it breaks again a minute later.
Call answering :
This is a field I didn't experiment much : as answering a call with the headset is a gamble, I tend to quickly disconnect the headset in order to respond. If not, answering with the Play/pause button might not work or might ask for way too many attempts. If I succeed to answer, the person will generally tell me that he or she can't hear me well. Mic issue ?
This happens with every ROM out there, with every kernel, with every Music player, stock or third-party.
I don't have my HD2 with me now (back to HTC for a while) so I can't provide logcat but I'm sure there are other music listeners out there who will help out.
I don't know if it's kernel related or not but I would assume it won't be that hard to fix...we just need someone who look into this.
I'll try to keep the OP updated with new information as it comes out...
I have a blackberry headset that works great. No such problems with pausing and resuming music or even answering calls for hours on end, with long holding to voice dial.
On cm7 roms you can long hold volume up with screen off to skip songs, no problems here, perhaps try another headset.
It seems it works fine with other headset yes but it means it's really not a big issue to fix for users who uses the stock headset...

As for the music, i mainly use the volume rockers on device for volume + (next/prev), the play/pause button does work when songs are playing but after pausing and idling for sometime, the device goes to sleep and the key does nothing (This might be actual behavior ? as the kernel goes into suspend, needs to be checked on a htc with native android)
The call behaviour is true as per your explanation. The mic inuse when wired headsets are plugged is of the device and not of the headset, i have verified this by placing the device away with headset plugged in and gradually bringing it close during a call.
I had recently bought the stock original headset. working very well. i use poweramp. play / pause ffw rwd are all working even when screen is off.
i can answer calls with the call button and the caller can hear me clearly.
maybe another rom or another headset can bring in some varied results.
Then it must be hardware related. I have an EU HD2 and I swear it doesn't work with any rom (Sense/ASOP-CM7/MIUI), any kernel, any player.
What I think would be great is if someone could get it to work perfectly with a set of iphone headphones. EVERYONE makes a nice set of headphones for that dang phone and their cheep
Sent from my HTC Runnymede using XDA App
+1 for the idea !
well..with rafpigna/hieros kernel the headset works almost 100%.
I mean:
when phone is on, everything works 100%
when it is sleeping but music is playong, it works 100%
when radio is playing and the phone is sleeping: I can switch channels and stop it but then I cannot do anything.
with tytungs kernel I could not do anything when the screen was off and the phone was sleeping.
(in the same ROM of course)
so it is bug in kernel drivers

Since you mentioned that, mine is T-Mobile. Might be hardware related.
how about trying Tytung 12.4 v3 kernel?
how about reading the low speakers/Mic gain fix thread?
it's fixed i think, i don't have these issues after installing typhoo' cm7 build with this kernel...

[Q] Desire HD - no sound on earphones after rooting - help :D

Bought a Desire HD I rooted the phone with ace hack kit,whole procedure,downgrade root and all,everything went perfect. Didnt wanna flash a newer radio,cuz everything worked fine with any rom i flashed. I flashed it so far like 50 times,going back and forth with Erebus,Energy,SmartDroid, Android Revolution, Coredroid,etc.. after some weeks first time i plugged in my earphones,and trust me i have 3 pairs,all HTC all working. I get no sound at all on them,except some crackling and loud clicks. It is the same with every rom. When i plug them in,phone detects the earphones and puts out the icon of the phones,but no sound. When i try play music,or especially when i move the volume sliders in settings,the sliders quick freeze bit and give me these loud crackle sounds in the phones. Tried newest radio,no changes. Everything else works perfectly with the phone. if anyone can help with some idea,or at least help me convince that its hardware related and that i cant do a damn thing about it Worst is,i didnt try the phones BEFORE rooting :S cuz i rooted and flashed the phone like one hour after buying it
Thanks in advance for any help or idea,i searched and searched and couldnt find any answer yet
Sounds work ok without headphones?
How does the YouTube app sound?
If it's the same on every rom its probably hardware or a bad flash of something.
It's stupid but try this
Turn up the volume when the headphones are plugged in, work?
Turn off the phone and remove the batt for a few mins. It's important to remove the batt.
Work? Only solutions i can offer
Sent from my Desire HD using xda premium
Thanks for the suggestions.
Nothing of the above steps changed anything.
Youtube player works fine,tried it the first time now.
Without headphones everything works perfect.
When i turn up the volume while having headphones plugged in,i get these crackling clicking noises, when i move the sliders in the sound volume settings left right,i get these short freezes and crackle sounds
removing battery ( 5 minutes and more ) also changed nothing
Before every flash i do full wipe of everything,sometimes even 2 times (paranoia hm)
So basically,same thing on 5 different roms,fresh flashed or filled with apps to the max,and even without sd card or sim card
Right we'll start the process....
Can you force close some apps
Twitter
Facebook
Internet
Any others that you can, don't touch the main processes. Just basic apps.
Sound work?
If not, is fast boot on? Try turning that off and do the batt thing again for a few minutes and try again.
i force closed all i could and tried,no change
fastboot is one of the first things i turn off when i flash a new rom
tried both ways now,also again removing battery
but what i realise now,i discovered an artifact i didnt pay attention to (stupid of me)
without headphones sound on the phone speaker works perfect and all
but i realised,when i plug in the headphones,i was so focused on the crackle noises and clicks,that i missed the fact that from the moment when i plug them in (while playing a ringtone or any sound) the phone stops the sound on the speaker for like 1.4 second,and then again you can hear the sound on the phone speaker but very silent when i unplug,the sound gets back to normal loudness crazy
i tried 2 days ago to reverse the root process,with ace hack kit,but the process hanged,thought i bricked it,but brought it back to life everything else works perfect perfect,only this thing not
well,regardless of fixing this or not,i keep this beast,its an amazing device,and cant afford any servicing here,will be just sad not to be able to listen to music and play games enjoying on headphones i still hope its some software related business,and that i eventually find whats wrong
Not really any further information anywhere, I could only find
http://www.htcdesireforum.com/htc-desire-troubleshooting/headphonejack-problem/
Some solutions say to plug headphones in and turn off phone, remove the batt and then boot.
Other than that, you don't seem to be alone! Might be a software problem with the specific hardware so could be worth posting feedback in the dev thread as only a minority of users are affected.
I think it must be something in the original downgrade that it didn't quite like.

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!!!! After suffering with no speaker sound and no phone ringing, relying solely on headphones or vibrate to know a call was coming or an alarm was ringing, I found your post and tried it.
As you can see by my delight ... IT WORKED! :highfive:
Thanks again :victory:
Ok, that's weird.

[Q] Xperia ZL problems

Hello I know this is a website for moding phones, which I plan to eventually do however My Xperia ZL is on the stock ROM atm and is 4.4.2 OS. I am having two problems and would like help deciding if it is software or hardware related. First my device will randomly turn itself off and restart from once to 40 plus times whenever I restart my phone. Once it finally stops restarting though, usually after 3 days max it works fine until I restart it again it will not restart on me if i am talking on it or using it. I also have an audio playback problem that occurs in both streamed songs from pandora and using the walkman or google apps on the phone. Both through headphones and the external speaker the audio will cut out and a screech or some other noise will come out and then the song will continue again. Any assistance will be appreciated thanks.
Hey, there seems to be mixture of hardware and software problems. To isolate the issue, have you tried doing a Factory Reset ?

FACTORY RESET it.

Both mic dead, please help determine software or hardware problem

Today I downloaded a dB meter app from Play Store, and I wondered why it didn't work, then I found out that it wasn't the app's problem but the phone's.
I tried other apps from Play Store that use the mics including Recforge, Sound Recorder, etc but still no sound signal coming from the mics, and yes, calling doesn't work. (Using headphone/earphone with plug-in jack works.)
An interesting finding is that when I tested with Shazam, after I pressed the turning Shazam logo, it almost immediately told me that no song was found, it was like whenever the app detects dead silence in the first 1 sec, it just gave up listening any longer.
I was using BlissPop so I switched back to stock-based SuperZen, suspecting it is ROM related problem but still no luck, still dead silence
Then I even switched to Latest WW Official Stock, but when I get into the test menu via the calculator app and performed the two mic tests, both of them failed. (I'm sure that it is not the speaker's problem)
So, I wonder if I can safely say that the phone's microphones are hardware dead now, if it is true maybe I will be sending the phone to repairment later next week. Or is it possible that it is some deep level software problem that I'm not aware of?
I have doubt because all other components are working except the two mics, and I think it is pretty abnormal for two components at two different side(top and bottom) of the phone to hardware malfunction at the same time. (Also because of the Shazam app's behaviour)
Thank you.
(English is not my first language so please forgive me if I sound rude or awkward )
Hi, have you resolved the issue?
Hi comcraizer,
did you find a solution to this?
Thanks.

LG G3 No Sound at all

Guys thank you for this awesome forum i have managed to root many devices and do a lot of great things with the few phones i had, this time however is different i have the D851 LG G3 T-Mobile and the phone does not playback any sound, ill be more specific :
* Any phone music application doesnt playback the music, the app just sits there and doesnt advance in the seconds counter
*The videos do playback but the audio is missing
*due to the missing audio the phone freezes when trying to make a call
*when attempting to record video it comes out as error and does nothing
* when trying to input voice commands it does nothing
* sometimes when trying to change the sound profile the menu freezes going from vibrate to normal sound
* no initial boot sound
Everything else that the phone does works fine like but to put it this way the phone feels just like when we have a pc and the sound card drivers are not installed or corrupted somehow, im not sure if its missing the audio codecs or maybe something else was modified in the system itself.
I already used LG flash tool to restore phone to 30d and im currently trying to restore phone to factory stock 10C
UPDATE 10C or 10R not possible to revert to, gonna try 20E
Update 20E boots up phone but still no sound at all , it is like its disabled
Please help!!!
Hate to bump such an old thread, but been searching high and low, did you happen to find a solution for yours? Have a G3 that does the exact same bit right to a T, tried reflashing Marshmallow, rolled it back to Lollipop with LGUP, runs perfectly fine, sound and all functions were great for a while, and one day it stopped. Plugging in headphones, I see the headphone icon in the status bar, so it recognizes them, but it won't record audio, play audio or do pretty much anything that involves sound.
you can try using viperfx, maybe you or a guest touched the phone and set everything to zero, try that dude. i hope you fixed the problem
No sound, freezes and closes all windows to lock out screen
Currently own an LG G3 D-851 T-mobile. I bought it used and everything seems to work out of the box.
Noticed that there isn't any sound
coming out of the device so tried playing around with the volume levels. The phone froze; went back to lock screen. Unresponsive. After which i had to do a factory restore:victory: and it worked flawlessly.
Was curious if this could be hardware problem so i took it to repair shop.
I was told that the problem lies in the memory (power ic) might be corrupted. Anyone might know how its related to having no sound or video recording capabilities? Plus why it crashes when trying out the sound recording.
