mobile

Hi,

I have the weird problem, my phone was submerged in fresh water and the screen was damaged, after replacing the screen the phone works fine but there is another problem. The phone does not know where to route the sound expect the default values.

When I plug the earphones in it it still plays the music through the speaker unless I force the sound re-route with the application named SoundAbout.
Same goes for bluetooth and switching phone calls from earpiece to speaker and the other way around.

It figures that the phone sound system works fine because once I force some rout with the SoundAbout application it works well but the phone does not know itself where to route the sound. It's not a great solution to force the sound routing every time I get into or out of my car and every time I plug in headphones.

The phone runs Android 4.4.4 and I tried having it factory reset and repaired by sony pc companion.
I don't know it it's related but the max speakers volume became to be very low as opposite to what it was before.

I don't have warranty anymore because it was water damaged so this is not a solution.
Does anyone know which component is responsible for the sound routing in this phone?
Maybe I should replace some hardware? Or some software patch can help?


Thanks.
