Now, I don;t know if this is a Kernal or a rom based issue, but, XLoud was GREAT on my play, and since a recent update, it doesn't work
When u have music playing, checking the XLoud button makes the sound get louder for a second, but then goes back to normal volume again
If anyone has any advice or a fixs for this, it would be great
I've asked this question like 4 times on here and no one has any idea what i'm talking about, I've also tried to replace files from old version to new version and it's the same, really low
See here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1321030
You'll get used to the volume reduction though after some time
I'm on the latest .42 Firmware (TW version) with DooMKerneL v08, and XLoud works brilliantly. Make sure you reboot after activating XLoud though, makes a HUGE difference (mine is quiet too when activating without rebooting afterward)
Sony reduced the volume of xloud. Move on

I'm on the lastest UK firmware, with DooMKernaL v8 also, and rebooting makes no difference, I have even found that having XLoud UNchecked it is louder, dunno if there may be a bit of an error somewhere along the line that has reversed the check switch =/ lol.
Like i said in first post, it is REALLY weird, when it was first added u could have music playing, press the check box to ON and u could hear it get louder instantly, and A LOT louder. Now, it goes louder for a second then goes quiet, uncheck it and it actually gets louder.
I'll try to post a video later, but I dunno how well it will come out.

Sounds to me like your firmware might not have been updated correctly?
Where is the option to enable or use Xloud? I see no checkbox or reference in any of the logical places (sound settings). It's like you guys are talking about something that doesn't exist on my phone.

I had this before the 1.28 update, I read somewhere it was to do with the beats sound profiles but it was resolved for me with 1.28. Try turning beats off and see if it continues.

I also had a the crackling sound issue. Whenever I turned the volume up or down I got the crackling sound after the volume slider (on screen) disappeared. I had an equalizer app installed and when I disabled the crackling sound issue disappeared? This phone has a lot of issues and I'm beginning to regret having retired my HD2 :-(

EQ apps don't work to well, I got dpsmanager working without issue (check sig) but you need to flash it in cwm or trying to edit the EQ FC.

So an app you downloaded causes a problem and you blame the phone?
Can you try something?
Mute volume and open twitter or Facebook. Pull the screen down in order to refresh and stick the speaker to your ear. Do you hear that crackling sound?
Hey I used to have this issue too... was really effed up at times it would crackle away like a peanut in the fire after a message tone.
I turned off "quiet ring on pickup" and "pocket mode" in the audio settings.
Then restarted the phone. One of the two caused issues I guess. Neither I see as a feature I must have so that was that.. no more crack!
haha can i suggest something
if the phone is laid down on some surface, raise the phone and try again
if the speaker is covered it makes crazy sounds, guess because of micro holes
ok so the fiss i got through me head phones annoyed me so i turned of beats just used DPS manager and the hiss is almost gone, can't be heard on songs with "quite" bits and only just hearable when volume is right up.
beats seems to make the hiss a lot worse.
Had this once. Restarted and it was gone

This solved the problem for me, thank you very much !
First post btw xd
I had this issue. Do any of you have Volume+ installed? I had the 'volume level' set to +20 for the speaker within the app, and upon turning this off it seems to have stopped the popping.
i had this problem for about a day or so.
make sure in the sound settings, that any music effects are turned off, and when you turn on your phone, that no headphones are plugged in. then, when the phone is on, plug in headphones / use any dsp or music effects. for some reason i would get snap / crackles etc. if the headphones were in when i started the phone.
hope that helps!

I have the same problem, but with HTC Desire X and I don't know how to fix this. Problem occurs when screen goes off. I have the latest officialy JB update 4.1.1...Two times I reset the phone to factory settings, tried with clean system without any other installed apps, but audio pop/click/drop/jump randomly occurs and listening music is irritating... I contacted HTC support but no answer... HTC Wildfire, which I had, played music without problem...
The problem lies with beats...beats adjusts sound settings throughout the system, so when there is an extra sound, it cannot be converted to beats mode and so causes these weird sounds..try playing a game while listening to music with beats on, you'll get my point...one solution is to turn off volume completely (put it to silent) before starting music playback...hope that helps

hi all,
i would just like to ask if anybody has encountered sound clicks? this happens to me currently when my phone sounds beep (when sending msg on whatsapp and viber, refreshing msg on facebook) then I will hear sounds clicks like three or more clicks?
How can i fix this? please help.

Thank you so much.
I'm not sure what you exactly mean... Could you describe the "clicking" a bit more precisely?

Sorry for the confusion. the sound is like ticking. After I make a sound on my phone like sending message on viber and watsapp, there will be a ticking sound (maybe abount 3 or more ticks/clicks sound). the tick is intermittent. please help.
thanks,
I had this a lot when I first got my phone, it seemed to get fixed with the later ics roms I used but its returned since being on jb.

i never had this before on ICS. Only now on JB.
Might have something to do with the audiodriver, i recall a similar issue on one of the musicbox mods ....... the closing of the sounddriver caused small ticks like you descibed. As if it is getting a peak signal.

Hi, I experienced the same on my HOX some days after purchasing it last August. It was running ICS and in my case I had installed a Sound Equalizer app which in my case seems to have been the reason of the clicks. I wrote to the assistance service and thay suggested me to remove this crap and since then I had no clicks ever. If you have any Equalizer or Sound Booster app, I suggest you to remove them and give it a try without using them. I hope this can be helpful to someone and please excuse my english.
I don't see why everyone is worrying about this. The sound clicking you describe is more like a POP when a sound or music has ended.
Let me Explain why this happens:
The sound vibrations are immedietly stopped when the DAC mutes itself when it's no longer needed, this immediate stop for the vibration makes this POP noise. You can get these sounds in all types on electionic devices which can output sound, it's totally normal
You cannot stop these from happening permanently, but there is a way to reduce this. Turn off all sound-altering applications (EQs, Reverbs, Virtualizer, etc) this will cause the sound to vibrate less and thus reducing the loudness of that POP noise
I suggest you to never modify the speaker's audio as the POP noise might worry you (Much louder POP sounds) but there won't be any problem with the speaker
If you like to modify your audio, you will have to get used to that popping noise (like me) and it will sound normal to you in the future.
I hope this information was very helpful
Very ! Nice to see you here zero ! Still developing outside xda, i still have the link from your website but hasn't been there for a while
I think i found what makes this sound ticks. Its the equalizer app that I installed. I tried to turn off the app and the sound ticks were gone.
Thanks for all your responses.
Many users already got the update to lollipop.
This thread is meant to collect bugs, which were introduced with lollipop.
Many people didn't get the update yet, it would be helpful for them to know if the rom runs well or the update should be skipped.
So if you encountered any problems please report here.
Thank you!

I have some, Microphone is too low, other party cant hear a thing. even I disabled noise canceling mic but still problem exists.
2 - when someone calls, the notification light goes crazy and turns on and off very fast. and sometimes ringtone doesn even play.
3- earpiece volume is too low too
Thus far all I am aware of was the WiFi bug. I had to re-flash lollipop three times to get my WiFi to work ( updated through PC companion)
The only bug I found is that when you turn on Ultra STAMINA Mode and you turn it back off, all the apps you've previously disabled get enabled, so you have to disable them again. Otherwise, I'm having killer perfomance and battery life (4hs of SOT, with KK I had less than 3 and with every Lollipop AOSP-based ROM I got a bit more than 3) so I'll just ignore the Ultra STAMINA Mode and it's all good.
I found that volume levels are loud enough for me, perhaps it's because I have not been using stock for a while.
Every time I make a phone call, the in-call volume is set to 50%.
I increase it and the moment the screen turns off as I put the phone next to my ear, it'll stay at 100 for a while and again fall back to 50!
In case of whatsapp calls, I can change it to 100 but it will fall to 50 every time, won't stay there even for a second.
Started facing this problem when I updated to Lollipop, no such issues on KitKat.
I'm using the US FTF on an Indian phone.
Please help as I like the Lollipop update, it has increased the battery life a lot.

No skip/fast-forward in videos
If I try to skip to 2:30 for example in a video (with Chrome), the video just gets stuck and doesn't play anymore. But if I let it play from start without skipping, everything is just fine.
I googled this and it can be possible that you have to disable NuPlayer in the developers options, but that doesn't seem to work for me?
I hope someone can help or knows a workaround to make skipping work!

Recently I have been getting very bad sound when calling someone.
I can hear the callee perfectly but they can barely hear me, I sound like a 'fish in the water' or with a very big 'echo'.
This has been the case after updating to Lollipop.
Hi,

I Am Assuming you are using Stock Lollipop FW from Sony
Head to Settings>Call
Enable Microphone Noise Suppression, Set the Equalizer to Bright and enable the Speaker Voice Enhancement
Also make sure you are on Max Volume when In-calls

Nope, still stable, I tested it but the audio was clear.
Problem is that this issue comes and go's randomly, so all I can do at this moment is wait...
None of the suggestions described worked for me. This bugged me so much I was forced to run to RR rom.. Problem solved but I miss Sony's great battery life ??
I have the same problem.
Only the equaliser was different (normal), I've changed it to bright and will see.
Don't you think it is a problem with radio reception ? I'm not sure but I think I have not the same number of bars than before. I haven't got an other 4G phone to compare.
Equaliser doesn't work for me.
I have changed prefered network, it was 4g prefered. I've changed to 3g. It seems to be working.
Can somebody try ?
I solved my problem during the calls when i unchecked the improvement of voice
If you have tried all the other options and still not working but you have v4a sound mod installed, this might help - http://forum.xda-developers.com/sony-xperia-z1-compact/help/viper4android-deactivates-mic-t3124764
I had same problem after update to lollipop and try everything mentioned before and nothing helped. Then I low down speaker volume ( volume key down) while call is active and that worked for me. I suppose that lollipop have some problem with duplexer. Level of sound in speaker is litle low but at least caller can understand me normally.

Greetings, I hope you are fine.
I'll just let you know my experience with that, I had a similar one to yours. Instead my voice was stuttering and ghostly, like something came out of Paranormal activities. xD
The only solution I found to this was that it was a problem with the hardware itself, IE. the mic of your phone. Maybe you wanna give your phone to the warranty company and see what they say about it. In my case, they fixed it and it's working fine now.
I hope I helped
Yours.
