Go to liveware manager and see if it thinks you still have a headset plugged in. It happened to me before and took me ages to figure out!

Hi,
Did you find any solution to the problem? I'm facing the same issue with my sony xperia P and eventhough i've disable the liveware manager app the phone is still running in the headphone mode. Eventhough I attach the headset, i'm not able pick up the call or start walkman etc through the button and can only answer calls either using the headphone or enabling loud speaker. This is really annoying... If you have resolved the issue, please help.
Plug the headset back in and out mine does it every so often

No...i'm relatively new and this is my first android phone and i don't want to do anything which will void the warranty...also i had repaired the phone yesterday and after that liveware manager is detecting the headphones attached to the phone eventhough none of the accessories have been attached....when i try to attach my headset it is not recognizing it...i can't even pick up the calls or turn on / off music from the headset button...i've tried to force stop, unistall the update (smart connect), disable the Liveware app but still no success...i'm not sure what should i do...do i have to repair the phone once again using Sony PC Companion?
Flashing with flashtool doesn't void any warranty as its flashing official firmware.
I guess its an option. What firmware are you currently on?
Or take it back to life shop for a new one?

No...its ICS only... I had updated it to ICS in the 3rd week of august when it was released in india....also, at that time i had faced similar issue but after i stopped using Smart Connect the problem had been resolved...in the mid september i had asked for a change in back cover of the phone and i got it yesterday...i repaired it yesterday and since then i'm facing this issue...

Hi,
No...actually my phone had fallen once and there was a scratch on the top left hand side with aluminium part slightly bent..but the phone was working perfectly and i had used it for about 10 days before i had submitted the phone to service center after resetting the phone to factory settings....this had happened during mid september....before that phone was working perfect and i had got the confirmation from the authorized service centre also on this and they had said the phone will be under warranty...even now its working fine the only problem is the ear speaker is not working...i can listen to the music or video when the phone is connected with headset...but when it's not i don't get any voice output...the phone is ringing when i recieve the call but i can't here the person who is on the other side unless i connect the headset...
Also, small info...when i try to set the ringtone, i'm able to listen to the ringtone through speaker if i try to set it using android system option but not able to hear it when i'm using the Sound picker option...
Also, even after hard restart the liveware manager is detecting the headphones eventhogh nothing is attached to phone?

Download the firmware -
http://www.xdafileserver.nl/Files/S...LT22i - 6.1.B.0.544 -Central Europe - ICS.rar
and extract the ftf file.
Download FlashTool and install -
http://www.xdafileserver.nl/Files/S...S/Flashtool/Flashtool 0.9.5.0 for Windows.exe
Once installed go to my computer - flashtool - firmware folder and put your ftf file you downloaded into it
Then run flashtool, click the lighting bolt and select flash mode. Then select your firmware and start. (it'll say preparing files. So just wait)
Then it'll ask for the phone to be connected. Turn off the phone. Hold the volume down button while plugging it into the computer and flashing should begin

I had a problem with FM tuner. I updated Ics CH ver. Everything working is fine but FM tuner sounds so noisy and deep. When I restart it works fine. I tired when I want to listen radio everytime to restart.
Like only me I lived this problem. Why anybody don't answer.
Thanks for your advices.
Same for me, i reinstall GB for now.
FM radio is important for me.
Same problem here.
Already tried with 2 different ftf files (CH and Iberia) and the problem persists.
The strange thing is that I didn't have to reboot the phone for the FM Tuner to start working again. Just waited about 6 hours and worked with no issues whatsoever
I even tried to kill the ANT Radio Service but it didn't work.
Btw I'm from Portugal.
When you are call anyone and close the phone it will work again too.

Works fine on the UK generic ICS, did you do a full wipe before installing ICS?
Yes I did by flashtoll. But I try only CH ver. I didn't try on UK version. Where can I found UK FTF generic?

The problem has been fixed in .453 firmware. You can find the ftf in the firmware compilation thread in the general forum.

Wi-fi really sucks and I tried about everything, except downgrade it again to the 182 software.
How must it be done ?

Ok thx will check it out.
Any tutorial somewhere maybe ?
1.Download the firmaware .ftf file
2.Copy ftf to flashtool/firmwares
3.Load flash tool and click on the tap with the black lightning and select flashmode n press ok
4.Select the ftf file and tick no final verification then click ok
5.turn off your phone and hold volume down key and plug in usb cable
6.then let flash tool instal
And you can tick/untick to not wipe your fone if you've not already done it
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
Yeah, it worked, downgraded the phone. Thanks a lot guys.
However it did not solve the problem.. Wi-Fi still slow as f*ck even though the signal bars are perfect.
My Nexus gets excellent wi-fi speeds here at home connected to the same device (the X-U is my girlfriends), no idea what is causing this problem.. It's doing my head in and I'm afraid if I go to the shop where we bought it they will not be able to do much more than what I tried already (Factory reset, firmware downgrade, download internet/mms settings, disable auto-sync, repair with update center, etc etc..)
You should be getting ics in a week or two so worth waiting for that
Sent from my LT26i using Tapatalk 2
Hoping that will do the trick. I fear the worst though seeing with the old firmware and also the newest (the 184 one) the wi-fi is poor. Unless it really is a Gingerbread thing but I doubt it.
Switch out your phone for another model or wait for ICS release which 'may' resolve your WiFi woes... By slow do you mean downloads/torrent speed slow or slow loading web pages/online App requests?

Everything goes slow. Occasionally its ok. It's definitely the phone as other devices such as my Nexus, laptop etc never have drops in speed.
I was just messaging people on fb ...and sudddenly my phone's screen went black then i thought it was just a temporary issue...as it was almst deaad
then i removed the battery and for an hour or so then ire-inserted the battery and tried to turn on by pressing the power button nothing happened
so i decide to re-flash the rom...i removed the battery and pressed the down volume button and reinserted the battery opened up the flash tool connected the phone via usb in flash mode thank god it got connected in flash mode and i flashed stock GB
now everything went fine after the flashing got over i tried to start the phone
i pressed the power button result:NOTHING
i then flashed a custom kernel and then pressed reboot the phone got connected in flash mode so i tried to flash the stock
to my suprise the device got force booteed :highfive:
now i tested the phone in each and every aspect known to me everything works fine....even the power button is ok!!1
but i switched off the phone to insert the memory card and tried to Power it UP Nothing happens what could be the problem??
i mean the Phone is ok as it gets connected in Flash mode as well as Fast-boot Mode
the power button is ok!!!as i tested it when the phone Booted up! :laugh:
my question !!??
What's wrong with my phone?
Highlights:- doesn't show charging symbol or Indication when connected with charger and when connected to USB it automatically goes into flash mode(when turned off)
everything worked fine when it was ON!!!HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
You most likely have issue with your screen. When you power it up duz it vibrate?
If I be at your place I stud Flash stock and take it back where I got it from.most likely it's a HW issue

It takes at least 10min in cold start.

I tried rewrite gps.conf many times, the problem was not improved.

sorry for my broken english...
stock JB, stock kernel, locked BL.
Are you sure it's not a hardware problem rather than software?
Sent from my 4.2.2 PAC powered Xperia S via Tapatalk
I've had similar issues and found lots of answers.
There seems to be some sort of bug with some xperia models where GPS will not lock after sleepmode is entered no matter how many sats it can see. I've only found forum references to it, but nothing official.
The trick I've discovered is:
Reboot the phone
Turn off WiFi (very important)
Use GPS Test (or GPS status or similar) to clear the AGPS Data and request new AGPS data.
It should then get a lock within about 10 seconds. You have to turn WiFi off so that the AGPS can use your cell tower to get the data.
I'm using the unofficial stock JB on an Xperia U. This only works if your AGPS is working (if you see sats pop up within about 15 seconds before they start locking you're good, otherwise you'll need to fix your AGPS by editing your gps.conf)
Hope this helps.
---------- Post added at 04:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:46 PM ----------
I should also add that it seems to continue to lock quickly after this, but after the phone sleeps for too long GPS stops working again. Then you just have to repeat the process.
I fixed AGAIN.
Add a below text into the gps.conf.
SUPL_HOST=supl.sonyericsson.com
SUPL_PORT=7275
SUPL_NO_SECURE_PORT=3425
SUPL_SECURE_PORT=7275
SUPL_TLS_HOST=supl.sonyericsson.com
SUPL_TLS_CERT=/etc/Suplcert
It seems to faster lock the GPS satellites.
Please test this.
