Need help: Xperia Mini sound problems! - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

When playing any kind of sound (game, music etc.) after some time (sometimes 10 minutes, sometimes an hour, sometimes 1 minute) my phone starts producing crackling noises through the speaker or my headphones. The problem randomly appears and randomly dissapears. It is the same for the loudspeaker, headphones and speaker for calls.
The repair shop said they don't want to repair it, long story, so that's not an option. Any advice on what to do?
EDIT:
Btw, it's not a sofware issue. It's the same on the stock ROM and on custom ROMs.

May I say I'm very, VERY curious about that?

I reverted back to the stock software using a firmware flash file here from the forums. Also relocked the bootloader and unrooted. They still claimed it had modified software and wouldn't repair it.

Anyone?

loudspeaker problem
I also have problem with my xperia mini loudspeaker.
It occasionally not functioning at all. I bought mine last June and it happens twice.
I tried rebooting but nothing happened. Earphones are working fine btw.

It seems to be a hardware problem.. Is your phone still on warranty?

Now no sound

Another bug i expect
No sound plays, ringtones music nothing, camera says "Camera Failed" on launch and all videos show "cannot play this video"
Rebooted and still the same.
Oh what fun
I have seen the same loss of sound and video stopped playing, but for me rebooting has fixed it (so far )
I also have a suspicion that it's the audio service crashing which might be causing some of my spontaneous reboots...
Roll on the next update from Samsung... hopefully 2.3.4 which fixes some of the battery issues too.
Left it off for an hour and now seems to be ok

Factory reset if problem comes back .

Soundpool error
Just happened again, so I took a look in aLogCat...
Lots of Soundpool (2697) Error creating AudioTrack
My guess is that something is leaking audio streams and this stops any audio playing and the knock on effect is no video either
Not had it happen again (yet) ,
Lost trust in the phone, will it ring? will i miss an important call?, was happy with the G Tab thats the only reason i purchased the SGS2, oh well you live and learn.

I know how frustrating it must be, but it's only one phone out of how many thousands sold?
Just get it exchanged.
Factory reset cures many problems .

Cant do an exchange, only option is to send it away for a month for repair
It happened again, so I checked what happens when I get an incoming call...
No ring tone, only vibrate. When you answer the phone you can't hear the other person and they can't hear you... not great for a phone
It's clearly a bug given that the phone works fine for hours and then the audio service fails.
I run with audio clicks turned on, so it's obvious when it's failed, unlike a friend at work who runs his in silent mode...he also won't know when the phone has done a spontaneous reboot (mine did just now...sitting on the desk with screen off and locked).
Roll on XE3!
Mine done the same last night. I have turned on touch sounds for now. Also get reboots with it just sleeping on the shelf.
Strange as i have two SGSII and the other is fine. Both KE2

Done a factory reset as it was getting annoying. Now it's been 24 hours and i've counted 8 spontaneous reboots all while phone sleeping.

Big problem with playing sound after factory reset

Hi,
Few days ago, I have done factory reset(becouse of lot of apps). And then it started. When I play any sound from headphones or built reproductor I can hear it good for few seconds but after a while I cant hear anything. Because of noise. That noise stops after few seconds when i stop playing sound.According to noise in built reproduktor I thing it will be SW problem. I tried more factory resets...but nothing helped.
Edit: I tried to watch something on YT so I have connected my headphones and my phone just restarted after a few seconds watching a video. Sound was turned off and noise was there still.
Sorry for my bad English.

Same on my device. It's a hardware problem because it is reproduced on miui, cm, stock roms with or w/o sound mods... ;(
How to solve it ?? any idea
get in download mode to reflash the rom
The board need to be replaced. Go to the LG service center and ask for help. I have changed it once without telling the unlocked bootloader. They replaced a new locked bootloader board for me. Good luck:good:
So i did. On friday i will have some news about my device. The noise was so loud that it woke up my wife late night
I just got back my device from LG Service. They repaired mainboard (?) and replaced a ribbon(??). and ofc locked my bootloader <), But there is no annoying noise!
There is no noise on headphones/speaker/loudspeaker and no noise on callers device... i guess this was not the first device on LG Service

Most likely , they did not change the board , only fresh the firmware
Lg's service is horrible , they are always lying
Do a recovery update from the lg mobile support tool on your pc. This will wipe everything, but re install the os, potentially fixing the problem.

Calls not working (S3 I9300)

Hi, this really has me stumped, and I can't figure out what could be the issue.
Any help would be appreciated.
My S3 (I9300) was running CyanogenMod nightlies, and suddenly I stopped being able to hear or produce sound in calls. I can initiate the calls, and can receive calls, but when I accept the call, there is no sound, and the other end cannot hear me either.
I thought this was an issue with the ROM, and since I was running an older nightly i installed a later one. The issue was still there.
So I did a full wipe and installed the latest M6 CM rom, and the issue still occured.
I did another wipe, and installed a different rom, still the same happened.
So i finally did a full wipe, and installed the stock 4.3 rom from SamMobile. This didn't help
I don't see how it can be a software issue, as my mic is working perfectly, and so is my speaker. It is only in the voice calls that they do not work.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
If it still the same on a fresh stock installation then it sounds like a hardware fault.

Thanks for your reply
I would say it has to be a hardware fault, as I have wiped the phone several times.
However, I really can't see what could be wrong as all the separate things are working. The mic and speaker are fine, and I have full signal and can make and receive calls.
What part in the phone could need replacing?
Unfortunately, the motherboard -nobody replaces component parts anymore.

Mine does the same thing, it's a software/hardware problem, do you keep your phone on silent a lot?
Someone gave me a fix in another thread and I've not had the issue since. Basically there#s a software or possibly hardware error that causes this. If you try and make or receive a call without the phone having already played any sound since start up then you get this bug. I rarely restart my phone so for me on the odd time I do, once it's started up I just play a song for a second or two then stop it and calls work fine. Since doing this I've not had the bug. Others have automated a sound on start up with tasker or similar.
Sometime upper noice cancellation mic causes the problem. Little cleaning may fix. If u good @ opening phone then try yourself. Otherwise go to a technician.

[Q] Beeping/clicking while calling

Hi,
I need help. My Xperia mini suddenly starts to make this noise (attachment), when I try call someone or receive a call. The record lies. The loudness is the same all the time. It neither depend on other sounds nor volume level of the phone. The noise is made by earphone and it neither occure in hands free mode nor in headphones. It doesn't occure in service testing mode either (it clearly plays some voice and music without any distortions). I use stock ICS rom. I tried factory reset and reflash firmware with SEUS but nothing have worked so far.
Any ideas?
So today I tried downgrade to android 2.3 via Flashtool and the problem is still there. Do you think it's software issue or hardware? Flashing new rom should have solve that, but it didn't. Could it be some electromagnetic interference? Something like a noises in radio/speakers when a phone is too near? I'm pretty desperate, please try help me.

if you flash a stock rom (like GB or ICS) with flashtool & problem still there = its 100% HW fault. (because we know ICS dont have this bug)
maybe try also flash ICS again if then problem persist its 100% HW fault.
sry
Yeah, I think, It's HW problem, too. Maybe some bad shielding or something. And yes, I did flash ICS again and the problem persist.
Well, thank you, I appreciate it. At least you confirmed my thought.

Problem with microphone

Dear friends,
I have a problem with mic after 2 months of use. When I answer the call, callers tell me that sound cuts for 5-10 secunds (for each second) and after that, everything is ok.
Factory reset 2x...happens again.
Where I can found original firmware for my phone? Trying for days, unsuccessfully...
P.S. I have expirience with Samsung and Huawei...but this is my first HTC.
Any suggestion?
Thanks!

Thank's for opinion!
I'm not shure it's hardware...
I'll add the fact that after factory reset, 10-15 hours phone is working ok. After that problem starts.
I restart phone for the third time, but without HTC backup from previos session (what I did previous 2 times).
I'm waiting...
I can't figure which, but I'm sure that it's about some application...
