Xperia Ray :: Sudden Loss Of Radio Tuning-search And Almost Inaudible Music Through Earpiece?
Sep 24, 2012
I listen to the phone's FM radio a lot and and play some of my music, and that side of it is important for me. I have a few different earpieces/buds including a couple of SE's that have come with various phones, All was fine yesterday, but this morning I went to listen to some music and the sound was barealy audible - it was playing, but through the earpieces it was extremely feint. Plays fine through the speaker however. I tried six different earpieces, one that came with the phone so is known to be compatible, one that came with my second phone an X10 mini, and two that are generic but work fine with the Ray, and they all had barely-audible sound the same.
I tried the same earphiones with the X10 mini, and all work fine so the earphones are all functioning perfectly.I downloaded a free music player app to test a new installation/registry/files/whatever, but same results. So I suspected a software fault, and did a factory reset (yes, it is that important to me) but still with the same result.BUT that was when I noticed ... when recreating a couple of things again I brought up the FM radio to have it scan for stations as the reset left it empty. Although it recognised that the earpiece/aerial was connected ok there was no movement of the scanning progress-bar/window and then it closed down leaving the tuning-scale on screen but no stations ... I could manually swipe up and down the tuning scale no problem, however no stations were heard/found/registered.
I repeated the 'empty' radio on the X10 mini so I could test the earpiece/aerial function, and when then retuning-in it found all the stations in a heartbeat with both SE earpoeces - I didn't bother to repeat it any further with the others, no point.It is easy to suspect the earpieces until they play the music fine on the other phone and also scan/play FM radio channels... and it is also easy to suspect the phono/wire/connection until you realise that they are transmitting the played music just not at a listenable volume without straining... and also i is easy to think the aerial-function is faulty and it doesn't interface, until on another phone it grabs plenty of channels in its scan in just moments It hasn't been dropped or in water or anything, just worked yesterday evening then not this morning and it was only on my bedside table overnight.
I am still happily on Gingerbread, haven't bothered to go to ICS, not that fusssed about it TBH - so it hasn't been caused in an upgrade/incompatibility problem with ICS.I actually did upgrade to ICS hoping this might cure it, but it was exactly the same then too!So I flashed the phone back to GB (Flashtool+appropriate .ftf), but still it was exactly the same - very low sound and no station search/reset And that's where it has stopped at now.i am thinking I have missed something blindingly obvious, but now I am too close to figure that out anyway, plus also am undoubtedly in need of someone expert.
I'm having a strange problem with my new Xperia Z3 Dual ever since I updated it to Lollipop. I’m using two SIM cards from two different operators. But every morning I notice that there is no signal available for SIM2. Signal comes back to normal on SIM2, if a call received or if I made an outgoing call from SIM1. Otherwise I have to switch on to Airplane Mode and switch it off every time to get the signal back. Because of this issue the battery drains so fast during night (due to loss of signal for 6-7hrs). And also I notice sudden call drops during conversations within 5-10 minutes after receiving or making a call.  I checked the same SIM using another phone to get verified whether this issue is related with the operator. But there I didn’t notice this strange behaviour. Hopefully this is something related with my Xperia Z3 Dual. I’m using WCDMA(Preferred)/GSM on SIM1 and GSM Only on SIM2.
I have an Xperia Neo and the rear speakers have suddenly become almost inaudible even at maximum volume, now i can't hear the notifications, it ringing or anything coming from the rear speaker...
what should i do, i have a local-ish Sony store i could take it too, does the guarantee cover this, will they be able to repair this fault or perhaps replace the device?
When i put on the headphones for listening to music it doesn't come any music from them, except in the mobile instead and when i turn on the little earpiece that came with your mobile they work perfectly. I do not like the little things! Why is this happening and how do i fix it?
I had some files that are recordings from teachers in my institute (a lot of those) and when I'm listen music, the music player add this files in the list of "music files" this is really anoying.
How can I set the folders where The music player searchs for music?? I tried adding the .nomedia file but that did nothing.
I have had this problem for as long as I have owned the phone (about a year). Sometimes ( not always or consistently) when I am done listening to radio I lose my volume controls. I exit the app and my volume controls on the side of the phone no longer work for some reason? I have tried to end the FM radio tasks with no success. The only way I have found to get my volume controls back is to power down the phone and reboot it. The phone has been factory reset, and it has been replaced and I still have the same issue.
i have firmware 40.0.005 installed on my 5800. While playing radio all of a sudden radio stops responding. I can kill the radio application but have to restart the phone everytime. Otherwise radio doesnot work.
My Xperia X10 will pair with the Bluetooth in my Mazda 3 and I can make phone calls okay, but whan I try to play music nothing comes through the speakers.
Im trying to clean my mailbox out - I have loads of newsletters that come in.Â
I have a gmail and hotmail account on the phone.Â
In the search, I type a search term like "agoda" and all the Agoda emails come up.
When I hit edit (in order to make each one have a radio button that I can touch to select that email and delete it), not all of them have the radio button.
If I do cancel out and try again, even less radio buttons come up.Â
A friend of mine is experiencing an issue when they update iOS, when new updates become available (i.e. 5.1 and 5.1.1). They lose all their apps and music and have to re-install everything. Has anyone else experienced this? Or have a possible solution? Apologies if this question is in the wrong place.
I got iphone 4 decided to update to IOS 5 then After the update, I loss all my phone contacts and music.retrieve my contacts and music either syn by itune or wi-fi(iclouds).
Info: iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1, iphone4 updated to software ios5.1.
All of a sudden my iphone will not play music from phones speakers. Verizion Store says this is a problem with the latetest update that I downloaded to my phone.
After my latest software update i've lost the search option for the music?Now i have some letter apearing on the side when i scroll but that dosent help at all comparing the search option i mean common i have like 6gb of music?
I seem to recall I could search on my 5800 for titles or anything in a song using a Search option in the music library. I do not see this function in the X6 (20.2.005). When I scroll the titles, large letters of the alphabet are displayed, but with 600+ titles, this is clumsy. Is this feature there? If not, it should be.
I just got a brand new Xperia Neo V phone. As soon as I turned it on and tried making a call, I was shocked to see that there was no sound from earpiece. Soon I discovered that speakerphone/headphones are working fine but the earpiece.
I have a strange problem that occurred today after a year of using Z2 without any issues.I've connected my phone to PC to drop/backup some important photos I've made with Win explorer (as usual, sd card, copy, paste to C:userdocumentsphoto... etc.)
And after the backup copying was complete I saw in explorer that 6 Gigabytes in Sd card were gone. I went back to see if photos copied properly and they did, but Z2 has erased also movies, settings, music and e-books from SD card... it went completely stock with only android folder on board.
Restarted the phone, see if it will recover SD itself but all media was gone, in settings, application some of the sony apps were dated to February 1970 ?!?! There was no background defocus and AR effect in 1970 right?? Scanned the phone and Win7 with Avast, Spybot 2015 and BitDefender... all devices and PC are clean and protected.
I used PC Companion with my old Sony Ericsson phone. it was fine. had a lot of options.I bought Xperia Ray (currently running Android 4) and updated my pc companion to 2.10. the text message panel and several other stuff have gone altogether in PC Companion. all i have now is support zone, contacts setup and media go. i want text message, media transfer and all options that i had previously.
any time i unlock my phone screen it takes uptoo a minute for any of my apps to connect to the internet, facebook, snapchat, outlook all seem to be effected. if i use the phone for a prolonged time i often get a loss of data.Â
My Z5C plays a sound when it loses or acquires mobile network signal. This is very, very annoying in areas where network coverage is bad. How to turn it off? I remember it being easy pre-5.1.1, but now i can't find any way to do it.
Ok I switched this week form iPhone to Android purchasing a shiny new Z5.
Because signal where I am varies dramtically from 4G to 3G etc so just changing rooms in my house will get me this notification.
Driving to work will get me several notifcations so its extremely frustrating, especially when it cuts in to songs etc that I'm listening too as I use the phone while running, it's also my main source of music in the van.Â
I recently noticed a strange behaviour during standby on my Xperia neo (FW 4.0.2.A.0.42). Since I use a brand new SIM of German network carrier E-Plus my Neo seems to randomly lose network signal completely. This sometimes even happens without any change of location. However, this occurs only in standby. As soon as I turn on the screen the network signal will be re-established immediately (-> screenshot below). As I can receive calls and text messages during these 'no signal' periods I would assume a software bug. However, I didn't notice this behaviour with a SIM of Vodafone which I had in use a couple of weeks ago.
I have recently changed from an iPhone to the new HTC one. So far the HTC is great, I love it, but today I plugged it into the usb in my car and I can't play my music through the radio. I had no problems with my iPhone, it was just plug and play, I suspect the car is the issue...
I was transfering files from the computer (MAC) and all of a sudden connection was lost. I was asked to restart the phone, so I restarted the phone, but it never opened. Now it's just dead, screen is black and the charging led (orange) is lit. Nothing happens. I held start-up button for 4 minutes, but nothing..
All of a sudden - after months of it working correctly - some of my Google calendars are not showing up in my Calendar on my phone. I'm still getting emails and my other calendars are synced... I just can't understand why the one is not showing up. It's enabled on both my computer and phone (like, it's checked off.) I've unchecked, rechecked and restarted my phone several times. I'm not sure why it all of a sudden disappeared?
