Hi all
Just installed the AlienRom (I've got a locked bootloader) and taken back by the difference it has made to my phone. It's like a different phone. Great work!
One problem I had before and still have and was wondering if any one had any ideas or experience:
If I use head phones with a volume up/down/pause (3 buttons) I have to hold down a button as I plug them in to get sound out of them. If I don't press a button on them the music continues on the phone's speakers. The buttons do nothing afterwards either.
I've tried 2 different headphones with the remote buttons like this to the same effect, some Altec ones and some iPhone ones. I'd love to get the buttons working so I don't have to remove the phone from my pocket and turn the display on to skip tracks!
I've tried turning on the feature of holding down the volume buttons to skip tracks in the Xperia Xposed app but it has no effect, I think that's because that's aimed at 4.4 reading around. I'm stuck with 4.1 with this locked bootloader.
Thanks!

hi,
i have recently purchased the chamelon headset for my tmobile mda2(himalaya). with the help of bluetooth tools for pocket pc i have been able to bond the 2 devices successfully and have achieved a fair working state between both devices. however there is one problem that cannot be avoided. it seems like the volume output on the headset is very low, its very difficult to hear anyone on the other end. the manual states that while in call you can turn up the volume until you hear a beep to indicate the volume is at its highest setting. despite numerous attempts at trying to get the volume higher i have not had any success. while in call i try to press either buttons and there is no change in volume. i have heard a beep a few times after 20-30 consecutive presses but i didnt notice much or if any change in volume. is there anyway to adjust the volume on the headset while not in a call? im not sure whether this may be a problem with the chameleon or perhaps a problems with the bluetooth in the microsoft OS?
Anyone else experience problems like this?
Maybe the Chameleon suffers from the same feature as my BTH-808 headset: When I use it in my right ear the volume-down button (on the side of the headset) is likely to press on my ear and thus . . . .minimizes the volume.
Work-around: use in left ear or ut in with care.
Same behaviour as you describe in changing volume. You have to press the volume-up button approx once every 1-2 seconds for the volume to go up one step.
Took me a week to find out what happened . . .
sigh. i wish it was that simple.
it seems like i have got the headset to its highest volume and it still sounds very weak. nextlink support tells me the volume on the bluespoon is generally very loud.
man... the BT on this machine is really a nightmare.
have you tried to put volume higher like I mentioned. When I press the volume-up to quick, It simply stays low, although I hear the 'volume-up beep'!!
Otherwise: Back for warranty I guess
Anyone ever have issue with one of the volume buttons stop working? My down key doesn't decrease volume anymore but up key still works. When I go into recover with holding both volume up and down that still works. I can't find a solution. Anyone?
Mine still works as Vol Down, but the springiness of it is gone. In other words it doesn't feel like there is a detent for volume down, no feedback, I don't know if it is being pressed without seeing the screen. Does that make sense?
Anyway, I'm concerned with the build quality of this phone. I've only had it for 6 months, and the Vol Down has that issue, and the camera lense cover is cracked. What is next? How will I make it to 12/22/11 when I am eligible for another upgrade?
Ran into problems where my phone got wet, the volume up button is stuck so it's always try to adjust the ringer and the ringer volume screen keeps appearing. This is annoying because I can't really see my screen and it keeps making that beeping sound. Until I get a replacement (if I can) is there a way to disable the volume up key? My phone is rooted so is there some kind of modification I can make in the system?
anyone?...
could you possibly take the phone apart and unstick the volume button or maybe even without taken the phone apart. you could also find/create an app that takes over for the the stock volume control with an option to disable physical changes to volume

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Since water got into it I dont know if it's actually stuck? I just think it got fried somehow because it just randomly adjusted the volume. I was trying to find an app but I was unsuccessful, I wish I knew how to create an app.
Hey every one,
When I first got my OPO my ear buds ( SOL Republic AMP HD) worked perfectly fine. After a few updates (I cant say which one for sure) my ear buds just became unusable in the phone.
Symptoms:
-Plugging in the headphones causes the volume to drop to 0 as if the volume down button was held down.
-After messing around with sleep wake and volume I am able to get the volume to settle but the volume is really low and adjusting the volume even to max is very quiet.
-holding the music control buttons down during playback does not fix the issue as seen on some older devices.
Info:
-Issue occurs on CM and Oxygen
-currently running Oxygen
-Earphone model: SOL Republic AMP HD (w/ 3 button remote)
If there is anything I can do to fix this it would be awesome! I dont care if the remote or mic works I just want to be able to listen to music through them again.
Thanks
My phone's screen stopped working whilst I was using it(1). Other than that the phone is working(2). Are there any general tips for how to get it working again other than "take it somewhere to get repaired"?(3) It's a Sony Xperia Z3, just over 3 years old and has been very well treated.
1) browsing and listening to music. the music played but the screen went blank. i've long pressed power; held power and volume up until the vibration; pressed the yellow button under the sd card cover.
2) led flashes. phone rings when phoned. pressing power toggles the screen between black and the very slightly not-quite-black you get normally when there's a "black" background on a site/photo.
3) seriously, i know that there are places which repair phones.
