Hi
I've had my z2 a couple of days and the very first thing I noticed was the very very poor notification volume
While it's became clear this is a common problem and Sony don't seem to care
I have tried several of the mods available to enable stereo notifications to no avail
I'm now on a custom rom which I wasn't really wanting to do because it had the feature in its list Stereo notifications
But again they remain the same
Has anyone has a similar experience with this problem
I've tried the sound mod from olokos
And
MaZaGnGy
I'm now using eXistenZ ROM with stereo sound mod enabled in aroma
Still not happening

Hey guys I tried searching for this topic in the forum but didnt find anything. On my note there are some times when the sound will come out through the earpiece instead of the back speaker. This happens randomly and the only way to fix it is to restart the phone then i get sound through back speaker again. Anyone have this issue? I'm running stock phone, the only thing i have ADW Ex. I dont have blue tooth enabled either.
Thanks for the help
There are at least two other threads about this ...in q&a I believe
Both our skyrocket and note behave this way:
When headphones in system notification is played on headphones and ext speaker
Ringtones are played over headphones only. We were using the video ringtone app though. Will test with system ringtones tonight
So far it seems to depend on what is playing the notification

Hello!
I have a problem with microphone in my XPERIA sola. When I try to call someone and speak in native phone's position then people can't hear me or hear me very quiet. I have to hold the phone straight to my lips and then people start to hear me.
Sometimes, if I want to record smth, I use RegForge Audio Recorder. It records very quiet and poor sound with microphone, but if I go to options of this program and switch on "Automatic Gain Control" in preferences then recorded audio becomes very clear and good leveled
I tried to insall ALSA libraries and gain microphone that way but..nothing changed a thing.
There are no any physical borders for sound (dust e.t.c) in microphone.
Is there some kind of "Automatic Gain Control" for entire Android system, particulary for SOLA? What I should do to make my mic sound good permamently?
Thanx for any advice.
Artur.

I've had ICS and JB and it seems to be worse with JB. Someone please help.
I've read its kernel related, since the issue varies from one kernel to another.
Is there a way to adjust the mic gain? I'm using experimental kernel v8.7

I also have this problem. Only primary mic is not working but secondary beside camera seems to work well. I used several CM11 roms, where that was bug, but after getting back to stock GB and ICS there is same problem. I dont know is this hardware or software problem, anyone to help ?
Anybody ? I now that is problem with KitKat roms, but I have also on Stock roms, does anyone know what to do
Alright so guys! Today i updated my z2s android to 4.4.4 and.. Sadly I am shocked to see that they removed xloud option from sound settings and that they've completely changed sound settings here and there, this isn't the problem anyway, my problem is that notifications sounds are quite too low like i barely hear my phone! But whenever i play a song or whatever it's fine, apparently it only happens in notifications and alarm. I remember having the same issue when I bought this phone at first and i simply checked x loud and maxed out the equalizer thingies, in sound settings. But now as there's no xloud option there anymore, i cant do much. I hope someone can help me out! Thx in advance. Oh and my device is unrooted if that's needed to be known.

just as you said bro ....Its RIDICULOUSLY LOWWW!!! WE NEED this to be fixed!!!
Another ridiculous user here..
i am having the same issue, i am feeling like receiving the notification sound only from earpiece.
must be fixed soon.. annoying..
Its not really a 4.4.4 issues. Notifications with 4.4.2 had the same problems.
There might come out a sound mod or something soon. Maybe @olokos ' sound mod would still work on 4.4.4? I don't know...
-EDIT-
Yeah there is Click "here"
I don't really like the idea of using both speakers for notifications and ringers. Sony decided for a reason not to play those on the speaker that might be near your ear.
Just updated my mod!

ANC headphones are now also boosted!
I've spent the last hour hunting for a Bug List for CM12 or AOSP Lollipop on the Z2, but I can't find anything useful. I'd love to install AOSP on my Z2 but I don't see the point if any of the hardware is non-functional.
Can anyone point me at the list of known issues for CM12, or the common ones for AOSP roms?
Do any of the ROMS actually have the Camera, WIFI, BlueTooth, Data, Tap to wake, etc all working well enough for a daily driver?
The only thing I found is the Known issues list on the CM12 WIKI but it was last updated 3 months ago, and the list looks way to short to be true.
As far as I tried it, only problem is the speaker is not working on calls. I mean you can make a call through the earspeaker, headset, Bluetooth etc. but you can not make it through the speaker. The sound just won't come out.
Other than that everything works.
Compared to stock Sony software;
-Google photos app isn't full screen unlike Sony Album.
-it's still far better than many phones on the market but Sony's Walkman sounds slightly better than CM's music apps.
-CM's music and call sounds are noticeably higher, but slightly worse on quality
-no Xposed for Lollipop yet
-when using Sony software, I always use it on power save mode but on the AOSP Lollipop, the top bar is orange when powersave mode is on. That's annoying

Sounds like there aren't any really big issues to worry about unless you need to put a call on loudspeaker, which I almost never do. It's bound to be a few months before we see lollipop arrive from a the mobile carry. Think I'll pick a ROM and try it out.

I'm on CM12 and the issues I have come across so far are
loudspeaker not working and earpiece not working on whatsapp calls.
There are some random force closes in the camera app
As a daily drivers it's good enough.
You cannot hear any sound on earspeaker from apps like Viber or Skype.. Voice on Loudspeaker is working fine during Internet calls.
My speaker does not work at all in any app or in calls. Also, Double Tap to Wake does not work.
Here is list of CM12 bugs that i came across. Not official. http://forum.cyanogenmod.org/topic/103915-cm-12-nightlies/

Hello all,
I recently installed 6.0.1 marshmallow on my Z3 tablet compact, but the volume on notifications, system, and call ringer seem to be tied into each other. That means that there's no separate control for those 3 functions.
Anyone know how to change this? Or maybe even an app that can help with this? I'd be very grateful. Many thanks.
