Speaker And Mic Problem after Upgrading to WM6

Hi all, i have a problem after upgrade my SPV C600 from WM5 to WM6.
after finish the upgrading, i could play my windows media player and could make a phone call without any problem.
after a while after i plug in my earpice to listen music, it went good as well.
after plug it off (earpiece not attached), when i play windows media player, i cant hear anything and i try to make a phone call also the same, no sounds came out from speaker and from loudspeaker as well. but when i plug in the earpice everything goes smoothly, meaning that i can listen music and communicate with others when make a phone call.
before that i tried to ensure whether i face the software or hardware problem by setting the ringtone (start->setting->sound). but the sound could come out from the speaker.
after that i guess that the speaker (hardware) has no problem.
as to play windows media player and setting ringtone are using the same speaker.
can anyone tell me whats happening with my phone?
i believe that it is software related problem.
thanks in advance

i have tried to reboot and hard reset as well
but i can only listen music and make a phone call when i use my earpice

Please state which ROM you are using, we recommend Andot's PEE

I too have this exact problem any solution other than hard reset - dont need the pain of downloading resinstalling all my stuff - especially if its going to happen again.

Tornado mic and speaker for phone not working
It rings and plays sounds but it appears that the hardware microswitch that sets it to wired-headset mode is stuck. I cannot set it back. Also: it switched into this mode when I rebooted (soft). I did not add or remove a 2.5mm jack. Is there a registry setting to override the microswitch sensor and keep it out of headset mode?

Hi, this is my first post and hope helpfull everybody, possibly i was the same problem over ALL ROM (wm6 & wm6.1), searching for any solution (my specific trouble was that if i wanna listen music over any player: ( a.k.a windows media, pocket player, etc), i dont had a normal sound from the speaker, the sound was distorsioned, low... horrible, the only solution was insert the plug from the headset and out , but, power off the phone and... again, sucks really ), i return to a Wm5 Rom (imate) and solve the problem, but, tired for the slow performance of WM5, search for other rom, sacrify the music listen ( but i have a good mp3 player...), and, the same problem.
I found in the web (no remember the page) that the SRS plug-in anytimes cause troubles with the sound output, i try to install any ROM WITHOUT this complement, the ROM from Rickywatt Tornado Neo/shadow no have this plugin, install and ...Eureka, no more the issue, follow my instint, i install the SRS plug in, reboot and... the fuc%$& problem, hard reset and the phone witout the problem... conclusion, the SRS was the monster.
You can try this "method", most of rom carry or include from the "kitchen" this SRS dll, but installing the rom from Rickywatt (fast, clean... beautiful, only without the spanish lang, but, nothing is perfect...), can solve the issue, for me ,cors, i dont know for you (my phone is a HTC sda).
For the mic, really i dont have idea , any bad registry, entry, etc :-(, i never have this issue, good luck...

That's not controlled by software. Try plugging and unplugging a headset several times, twisting it around to clean the contacts. It should clean and close contact for built in speaker to work again. Think of a circuit. If its closed, you have built in speaker. If it opens and you have a headset pluged in, then audio flows thru the headset. It won't go back to speaker until that circuit is closed again. Its mecanical, not software, so you can't do anything with registry.

the same for me

well
the only fix i got was to disasemble and remove the swithch leaving its contacts as exposed as possible, the soldered a wire between 2 of the 3 connectors, hey presto all working, headset hole then filled with glue from glue gun
very rough but it worked....
as an after thought though see if youve updated your radio software, stranger things have happened if youve been into flashing with 3rd party roms

[Q] Whenever I plug my Ozone Oxygen I get an error saying Unsupported Acessory

Hello,
I bought an Ozone Oxygen ear phones today that when I plug them normally into my C1505 give me an "Unsupported Acessory" error.
But, if I plug them in partly, start a music and wait untill I hear the music playing in the ear phones, then push the rest of the 3.5mm jack into the phone, I can use them almost normally. the only thing that doesn't work is the incorporated microphone, which works in other android phones, like MotoG.
Is there a workaround to get the mic to work?
My phone is rooted, if it helps.

On suggestion by a friend, I tried leaving one of the three black bands in the jack outside and the microphone works. That said, I suspect that Sony has an apk that blocks any headset that isn't Sony-made.

Lg G Pro 2 D838 - Phone not detecting headphones (HELP)

Weird thing started happening to my phone... When I plug in a pair of headphones (with or without mic) the phone does not detect that they are plugged in! Sound always comes out of the speakers. I've used apps like SoundAbout to force sound through the headset jack and it seems to do the trick but I'm still trying to find a proper solution for this problem.
The odd thing is that if I turn off my phone, plug in a pair of headphones, and then turn my phone back on, once booted the phone will recognize that it has a pair of headphones plugged in and everything will be fine. It doesn't work when I unplug and try to replug. It only detects the headphones on boot.
1) Is there a solution to this?
2) Anyone know something about mechanics of the 3,5mm jack? How all of this works? It seems that on boot it always tries to check if headphones are plugged in but I suppose that something mechanical in the headphone jack must trigger the check after boot...
3) I have cleaned the jack properly so dirt is not a problem. I have also tried different headphones and none of them are detected.
4) I think that problem is not software related. I have booted my phone in Safe Mode and problem is still there.
If anyone have some suggestion please help!
Thanks in advance.

EDIT: It was obviously a software problem. Yesterday I have updated my phone to new firmware v20b (SEA) and now my headset is working properly. When i plug in my headphones there is an icon in notification drawer showing that they are connected. After an upgrade of firmware I lost root so I suppose that somehow that was the source of this anoying bug. Maybe one of the apps that aquire root privilegies was causing this but I have never managed to investigate what's really going on. I tought that it was a 3,5mm jack (faulty hardware) problem...

Audio jack detection issue since MM upgrade

Hello there.
Since updating to MM I have the following issue on my Z5: When inserting headphones or an aux cable, the phone switches back and forth between headphones and speaker for a couple of seconds, before finally settling on headphones and playing as it should. This is a problem because I have a Tasker task that relies on headphone detection and now it doesn't work properly.
I had the issue with the small apps after upgrading, so I already did a system reset, which solved the small apps issue, but not the headphones issue.
Already tried disabling SmartConnect and booting in SafeMode. No luck.
There is apparently another person with this issue on the Sony forums, so I'm not the only one.
Anyone know a solution?
Cheers,
Alex

I have the same issue, but only with the aux cable. When I connect my earphone, everything seems to be fine. So I think maybe the phone has some issue with one particular model of aux input? because there are several type of aux plug now.

I have had this problem with other Z series phones but not the Z5 yet.
As reported above my phone when I plug just headphones stereo only (two contact plug) into the phone gives me an ear icon for headphone optimisation and with an automatic headphones actions.
If I plug a headset in (three contact plug) I get additional headset options, plus automatic headset actions.
My guess is you have a conflict with the Sony built in functionality and the Takser task you mention.
@xperia z3 I have only had this happen previously if my headphone hadn't fully located in the headphones jack

So, how can this be fixed?

my guess would be try to disable any apps trying to hijack the sonys built in process and see if that fixes the issue

I have done a system repair through PC Companion and the problem is still there, on a fresh setup, with no 3rd party apps. I'll wait a while to see if there's an update that might fix this, if not I'll have to send the phone in. Luckily I bought it in late December, so I have still time to use my warranty.
Edit: Oh, and the issue with the small apps is still there, I have found out that it's caused by active accessibility settings, in my case tasker, but others have that same problem with other apps.

i'm dealing with the same exact thing. i did a factory reset, and it still persists. at first i thought it was hardware, then i installed soundabout. when i force output through wired headset they work fine leading me to believe this is software related. really frustrating, not sure what else to do.

Android device as speaker for other android device (phone)

Hi,
I know this might sound strange, but I would like to use a android device as sort of speaker, which I connect via aux to my Radio, for my android phone.
Why:
I have a beautiful Nokia 8, without root since its not possible. I still would like to use Viper4Android so I must do something creative.
Also I have a nice car sound system + bluetooth/aux radio which I would like to enjoy.
As some of you know the Viper4Android software makes music a lot better than default. To enjoy this I have to use my old rooted device in the car.
That works okay, I can play music and enjoy Viper4Android. However, I need to copy files to this device. I cannot easily stream from internet (because my root-less phone has a simcard and internet) and Flitsmeister or Navigation does not stream to speakers (since I also do this on my root-less phone).
So now I would like to use this rooted old phone as Viper4Android a speaker/ audio relay or whatever you can call it.
Is there software for this? I could not find anything yet, but maybe I use the wrong search terms or just don't know the existance of a nice program which can do this yet.
So my wished/ideal situation:
Rooted old phone with Viper Audio, no simcard , in car. Connected via aux to radio.
And when I enter the car, my daily used Nokia 8 phone connects via Bluetooth or wifi to this phone, detect it as audio device/speaker and plays the music or other phone sounds over this old android device to my radio.
I hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance.
