Earpiece Call Volume and Weird characters in lock screen

dquilon — Thu, 28 Nov 2013 15:04:29 GMT

So my dad has an Xperia Advance (US edition of Xperia Go) and he is mostly happy with it... but lately he have faced a couple of issues...

1) ~~The earpiece sounds extremely low it is really hard to hear anything the other end of the call says... it also had low volume when talking but I fixed this by turning off the Noise Reduction feature.~~

~~The thing is that when testing the Earpiece with the Service Test it sounds OK... so it seems like a software problem. He has to call with Speaker on all the time.~~ Fixed by starting in Safe Mode and resetting normally

2) Lately a strange group of letters appeared under the date on his lockscreen and I cant find a way to delete them. Please see the screenshot.

The weird characters appeared suddenly for no reason and it is not related to any email, name, words, date, or anything else I can think of...

1) Do you experience the same problem if you start the phone in safe mode?

2) Go to settings > security > Owner info. Remove the characters and unmark 'show owner info on lock screen'.

Thank you very much... My dad must have written the garbled text without his glasses
