Missing Headphone Selection app. Can anyone provide a .apk? - Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone,
Been having issues with my headphone jack and I believe the problem might be a missing app in the software.
The app is called headphone selection and it is missing from my phone when it shouldn't be.
The image I am attaching is a screenshot of it on someone's device. Need someone to upload it here if they have it.
Thanks

I don't have that apk too,and I don't have problems with headphones
Tell us about your phone, Android version and build number and what kind of problem do you have, maybe someone could help

Here is everything. My phone's headphone jack has never worked, but if I force it with SoundAbout it works fine. It's just the fact that the phone cannot detect headphones. I was looking through threads and found someone who said "check to make sure your phone hasn't deleted the headphone selection app". Although it might not work there is hope.

FM-radio software mutes when switching channels.

I have a problem: When switching channels the sound of my fm-radio mutes. The sound comes back when I make us of one of the buttons.
This is really anoying if you are a channelskipper like me...
Am I the only one with this problem?
Does anybody knows what causes it and how to solve it?
Many thanks in advance..
yo dwaaz,
i have the same problem with my MDA Compact III, but it doesnt bother me s much. i just noticed its there and took it for granted. would love to solve it though.
Anyone knows whats up?
T
I do have a life also..
Tnx for your quick respons,
I know it's not the most important thing in my life, but it's really not userfriendly, don't you agree...
I use my radio reguraly, and I know it's something with software...
A hard reset will fix it, but it returns within a few days.
At one point I noticed the occuring of this problem. I was listening to my radio when I received an call.
Without answering the call I pulled out the headset to answer it with the phone to my ears. When I finished the call the problem with the fm-radio returned.
I'm using this software:
1. Spb Phonesuite
2. Spb Mobile Shell
3. Spb Pocket Plus
4. Smartmovie
5. Betaplayer
6. Sprite Backup
This is my standard configuration.
Any similarities with your software profile?
Another reply
Noticed that if you use the predefined stations(and the sound works) you can choose other stations without any problems.
When the sound is muted(due to the problem) this will not work. Also channelsearch(not preset autosearch) doesn't work. It won't find the stations
I saw WM6 is released. Maybe the problem will be fixed with this update.
Or does anybody has a fix? Am I (with a few other users) the only one with this problem?
Maybe this will work?
I saw an fm-radio app for an Eten device.
http://msmobiles.com/news.php/5193.html
Will this one work? It uses tmc
Hello dwaaz,
have you downloaded the software? The Link to ms mobiles works but when I push the download link i only get error!
Have a nice day
Problem with browser
This link should work.
I tried it again today.

Let me know if the download works.
hello dwaaz,
i only get "HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found."
Please download and mail it to me.
Great thanks
Your email is not public, please let me know so I can send it to you.
Hello dwaaz,
i sended an private message to you.
Have you / or anybody else testet the software on an xda orbit? Does it work?
Have a nice day
FM radio problem partially solved?
I discovered something.
The problems with the radio only occurs when you have disabled the sound for "Events(warnings, system)" in settings/personal/ sound en messages.
In my case, when I enable these sounds (anoying screen taps etc.) the problem is gone.
It looks like the system needs a sound at the end to be able to switch the channels.
Kinda weird isn't it?
Regards,
Dwaaz
PS. I know it's not caused by any third party software, because there isn't any on it.
this message is for nothing. I had problems with my connection en post the same message twice.
Has anyone been able to extract the radio software?

Video Call problem

Hi,
I need help, my second camera doesn't work during Video call.
I can see my correspondant, but he can't see me.
I don't find any parameters in the registry.
I don't find any program to test it.
I don't have any idea.
Please, If someone has ever had this problem, or any idea for testing or configure it.
Thanks in advance.
Mine was purple.. :| i popped the case open and found the front camera to be loose from it's socket, therefore creating my problem. It's a known fault for it to shake out of place if dropped a little too much, some people have reported it shaking loose completely.
i tested it with some webcam software for pc, can't remember its name anymore

If you have nothing to lose on your device: flash it with the original shipped ROM and see if you can make a VIDEO CALL - just trying to make sure that this isn't a bug in the SHAPS ROM you're running!

People cant hear me??? HELP!

when i call someone they always say " i cant hear you speak up".....when im talking at normal volume... this is very annoying for me to have to raise my voice to be heard? any tweak? that can fix it?
Maybe you have hardware problem. Somewhere in the net I found mic for dash - something like 5$-10$
there nothing else i could try?? before just replacing the mic?
call recorders can do that sometimes as well... do you have any installed?
I had a similiar issue with my bluetooth headset on one of the older HTC roms. After I reflashed with one of Kavana's roms everything worked fine.
Or, if you are still on your original rom and with the original provider, you could probably just take it to the store and get a new phone, if your warranty is still good, or if you paid for equipment protection.
i wanna flash it to see if that will work but dont know which ROM to choose and how install them.

im gunna sound noob-ish ...but how do i flash it?
Ive had this problem with dash from tmobile as soon as I bought one.
I had to do rma replacement and new one worked fine. I believe it was faulty mic.

I780 and Skype

Hey guys,
Some people are claiming that Skype works properly on their I780... For me it doesn't... I can use it with a headset or the handsfree but the internal speaker (the one for normal phone calls) doesn't work. I've tried several Roms to check if there is one which makes Skype work but nothing worked...
So, I was just wondering if you could tell me about your experience with Skype. Is it working properly for you? If so, please let me know what you did to make it work.
Thanks guys!
no comments about skype on the I780? Does nobody wanna use it?

As far as I know, Skype, or any other software, can't use the speaker that you would normally use for phone calls on Windows Mobile devices. Only the internal phone- and VoIP-application of Windows Mobile is allowed to use the speaker of the phone. All other applications must use the speaker on the back.
So there is no way to get this to work, unless Microsoft adds access to this speaker through their API.
I use Skype sometimese and it's really driving me mad that I can't use it with built-in phone speaker or BT headset.
It also seems not using all available bandwidth so the quality is only acceptable.
skype works on my i780.
one day i was in samsung service centre to upgrade my rom, the samsung service personel noticed my i780 had skype installed. he asked how i managed to get it works. lol
i told him i dont know, i just download and install

So you are saying that your skype is working properly? You can use the earpiece of the phone to call people? Sorry man, but I think you are confusing something. I found out that some people thought their earpiece would be working but what they heard came from the handsfree speaker. If you turn down the volume of the handsfree speaker, it kind of sounds like the internal earpiece speaker... Can you check again please?
the phone would be just perfect with skype functionality but it cant use the normal earpiece...
Did anyone find a solution?
Maybe Skype Mobile 3 Beta is worth of checking out.
for my skye works (even trough normal built in speaker), but only wifi. Is it posible my provider (t-mobile nl) has disabled the port or something?
It looks like some of you don't pay atenttion to what is written here, and keeps asking the same question.
As Ralph said, there is no way to get around it. It's not just a Skype problem, It doesn't work with all the others third party applications.
The same thing happends with the front camera in all the Instant Messengers. It just doens't work.

I have the same problem but I found a trick!!
Launch Skype with no wifi.
Switch Wifi on (it is fine even if u are in an area with protected only or no access point at all).
You'll notice that your status will become available (green).
Switch Wifi off.
Don't ask me why.....but it seems to work!!

Do you mean that you can hear Skype call via earpiece?? Are u sure? It is not supported by skype it self!! In my opinion you are confusing the sound source. I'll be more than happy to be wrong.
Can u post your i780 ROM ans Skype version?

[Q] mirrolink compatibility?

Hi, so I recently upgraded the stereo in my car to an appradio 3, I did this so I could mirror my phone onto the screen of the radio. I chose this unit because it is mirrorlink compatible just as our HTC one m8s are. Street several attempts at connecting I have had no luck at getting it to work. I'm doing everything right as far as instructions but something is going wrong. My question is has anyone been able to get this phone working with this radio? And if so, what have you done to make it work?
Edit: forgot to mention that connecting to two of my friends Sony units it works perfectly. Is it possible I have a defective device? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
Have you changed the USB settings on the phone to activate the mirror link through usb?
It's in Settings > More > Mobile Network Share > USB Network Settings, then select the last one (translated from German to English, hope the entry's are similar)
Honestly haven't tried it myself
Gesendet von meinem unknown mit Tapatalk
@tomoffel hey tried your advice and still a no go. When I connect my phone it automatically switches to mirrorlink and it says connection is active however nothing changes on the head unit. I might just have to contact Pioneer hope my unit is not defective.
Have you opened the 'car' app in the app drawer? it does not open itself first time its used.
@TheAngelus Hi tried opening up the app beforehand and still a no go. The phone makes the connection and all however the head unit fails to show the mirrorlink app.

I have a 2014 Honda Civic with the Display Audio Unit that supports Mirrorlink. Although the screen mirroring and audio seem to transfer only through the USB connection, it still requires that the phone has been paired using Bluetooth. I'm not sure if that is a requirement of the phone or the car's Display Audio unit. It needs to be connected by both USB and Bluetooth to work though. Once both connections are established, the HTC Car app becomes available on the car's display audio unit.
Is your phone rooted or with a custom rom? i've read that can break the mirrorlink app as the M8 has only just got added as an acceptable mirrorlink device with the latest firmware. Also, check if your headunit has the latest firmware?

That is a good point.
I would imagine that if the custom ROM does not include the mirrorlink functionality, then it obviously won't work. Having a rooted phone and being S-Off is ok, but if the bootloader is unlocked, it will not work. I have an AT&T HTC One M8. When I got the phone, it had Android 4.4.2 on it with HTC SDK API 6.17. All worked well with my phone and my car's Display Audio unit. When AT&T released the new OTA update, it upgraded to Android 4.4.3 and HTC SDK API 6.25, which really screwed things up for me. When I would put the car into drive, the HTC Car App that gets mirrored to the car's Display Audio unit was replaced with a message that said, "For safety reasons, this application cannot be displayed while driving". So, there was no longer any way to view any Navigation, Music or anything else when the car was in drive. My only option was to try to downgrade. So, I unlocked my bootloader, rooted, then S-Off'd (using Sunshine) my phone. I then used an HTC ruu to downgrade my phone. Once that was all done, I was greeted with a message saying "Smartphone not compatible" any time I plugged my phone into the car's Display Audio unit, which ended up being because my bootloader is unlocked. I relocked my bootloader and everything started working again normally. My phone is re-rooted and still S-Off and that causes no problems.

Well my phone is rooted and I'm on a custom rom, I am running the latest viper currently. Also as far as I know the head unit is also on the latest firmware but the last update was from Oct 2013, maybe they need to update their mirrorlink app to support latest added devices. Still what is strange to me is that it will run perfect on my friends Sony head unit even with custom rom. I guess I can try going back completely stock and locking my boot loader to see if that works. I will report back once I get the time to do this. Hopefully someone else can chime in with a solution before this. Haha

I just bought a new One M8 and updated it right away. Now I'm on 4.4.4 and only the Music app would show up while driving. I really wanted to use Google Maps as navigaton app but it always gets hidden whit a simmilar message as ericksonline's when I start driving. I find this very frustrating. Is downgrading the only option to get this working?
Should it be the only option, I think I'll send the One M8 back to the seller and will look for another smartphone...

What kind of device are you connecting your phone to? What phone carrier are you using (AT&T, Verizon,...)?
Downgrading was the only way I could get it to work.... and it was a long, scary road to accomplish. I had to unlock the bootloader, add SuperSU, and S-Off my phone (using the paid Sunshine method). After doing all of that I was able to use an RUU that I downloaded directly from HTC and downgrade the phone. Now, I'm running 4.4.2 again. My phone is still unlocked, s-off and has SuperSU installed. I can connect my phone to the car and I get the HTC Car app startup. But the really cool part is that with the Xposed framework I was able to re-map the home button to go back to my phone's home screen (instead of the HTC Car home screen). Now I can do anything on it while I'm driving - and it looks really cool. It was a long road to getting it working this way, but it is now pretty awesome.
Some solution thread?

Hi this sounds really cool. I was hoping that it would work out of the box....
I have a radio "Composition Media" - this is the marketing name. It was preinstalled in my VW. Unfortunately I haven't found out what the exact model name of the headunit is. I bought my phone directly from amazon.de and it has no branding. My carrier is Vodafone Germany, but i don't see how this is relevant.
Can you point me to the some thread, that describes how you managed to get it working?
Thanks a lot!

Yeah. It is pretty awesome! It isn't perfect though. One problem is that when I use the phone on the headunit, all audio must come from the phone. That means I can't just listen to the radio on the car. I must listen to audio from something on the phone. This can be problematic. Although the Mirrorlink connection requires both USB and Bluetooth, it appears that all audio is passed through the USB when Mirrorlink is active. The Mirrolink service must have a low priority. If there are too many things running on with the phone, the audio can become choppy. Now that I understand what causes the audio to be choppy, I can usually prevent the problem. Usually just rebooting the phone is enough to make it work perfect. Still, it can be annoying when it is happening.
The reason that I wondered what headunit and carrier that you have is because I only know how it works using my own devices. It is possible that the headunit in the VW works a little different than the one in my Honda Civic. I am thinking that they are probably similar enough that they should both work the same though. All of the brains for the Mirrorlink lives in the phone. The car seems to simply provide a feedback to the phone to say when it is driving. So, I am pretty sure you will be ok with your headunit. The phone carrier is important only because of how the RUU's are packaged. I used an AT&T RUU from HTC to downgrade my phone. I was 100% confident that the RUU would work with my phone's hardware because it was installed on the phone previous to me updating. I'm pretty sure that the version of Android doesn't matter too much. It is more likely that what causes the Mirrorlink to work differently is the version of HTC Sense (mine is currently 6.0) or the HTC SDK API level (mine is currently 6.17). You can find this information under settings, about, software information. If you want to try to downgrade, I think you will want to find an RUU that has a similar version of HTC Sense and HTC SDK API that I have.
Now that I have explained some of the difficulties, if you are still interested in trying to downgrade, I can write something up for you. There isn't just one thread. I used many threads for each step and asked many questions along the way. The risk is that you can do all of this and it may NOT work for you as your setup is a bit different than mine. You have to make many changes to your phone. Some could partially or completely void your phone's warranty. Some can brick your phone if done incorrectly. It is a lot of risk, but the results are pretty awesome if it works.
