Tried following the steps mentioned to repair the software, but I do not get the repair option for my phone.

Is this the loud speaker sound problem related to the build 14.2.A.1.136??

It was an issue on early 4.4.2 but it was fixed.I wonder why don't you update to Kitkat.

Okay, apart from Loudspeaker problem, there are many more problems with the upgrade, like,

Battery draining quickly,

Battery Charging takes too long,

Phone getting heated up too fast,

Phone rebooting for quite for sometimes,

Camera app fails tons of times,

Walkman performance degraded dramatically,

The biggest of them all, you cannot degrade to 4.3 after upgrading to 4.4.2, unless you root (which will void the warranty)

A friend too, has Xperia Z1, faced all the above problems & he was fed up of these problems.

Hence, in order to avoid them, I didn't upgrade to 4.4.2.

You can downgrade without rooting,you need a flashtool and a ftf file for 4.3.

Okay, but that will void the warranty, right?

I'm to planning to upgrade as soon as Sony fixes all the mentioned problems.

In the mean time, can you please help me with my hone's louspeaker issue?

Does the loudspeaker problem occur when you receive a call or all the time?

About the warranty,I am not in the position to tell you.

Re: Xperia Z1 Loud speaker problem

kardesai — Tue, 23 Sep 2014 11:31:13 GMT

All the time.

Okay, I am not upgrading to 4.4.2 any sooner, so, we can leave warranty 😉 😉

Does it go to the earspeaker or just low sound in the normal loudspeaker?

Re: Xperia Z1 Loud speaker problem

kardesai — Tue, 23 Sep 2014 15:29:02 GMT

The sound is perfect In the ear phones, only the phone loudspeaker volume is low

Have you submerged the device recently?

Re: Xperia Z1 Loud speaker problem

kardesai — Tue, 23 Sep 2014 15:40:35 GMT

not actually submerged, but yes the phone faced water splash.

Re: Xperia Z1 Loud speaker problem

_alexdon_ — Tue, 23 Sep 2014 15:43:41 GMT

I wonder if it could be related to that.After being submerged,the loudspeaker will sound lower than normal.

Re: Xperia Z1 Loud speaker problem

kardesai — Tue, 23 Sep 2014 15:55:55 GMT

and why is that???

Re: Xperia Z1 Loud speaker problem

_alexdon_ — Tue, 23 Sep 2014 16:04:18 GMT

Because water can enter there and some time must pass until it evaporates.

Re: Xperia Z1 Loud speaker problem

kardesai — Tue, 23 Sep 2014 16:43:05 GMT

yes, but it's past a month since that incident happened.

It seems like you need to have the device examined at a sony service.
