Hi All,
I just purchased Nokia Stereo Bluetooth headset BH-221 for my Xperia Z. All the functions like FM Radio, NFC, Music, Call Pick etc are all working fine. However I inbuilt OLED display is not displaying anything. Is anyone aware how to get the display working?.
Can anyone please help me with this problem and provide any solution?.
Does it display anything? Radio station? Caller details? Track playing?

No. It's not displaying anything. I am wondering if the piece is defective or there is some button combinations which needs to be pressed.
Can you try it with a Nokia? Then you will know for sure.

Yesterday I went to Nokia care and the contact person agreed that it is defective as it is not even displaying the startup NOKIA letters, ruling out any incompatibility issues with Xperia Z. I will get new replacement in weeks time and will check again with my new Z beauty
I have a minor issue with my xperia Z and car bluetooth. If the bluetooth is on before i start the car, it pairs perfectly within seconds. But if my xperia z's bluetooth is off when i switch on the car and then enable the bluetooth it doesnt pair automatically. Either i have to pait it again manually or restart the car.
Has anyone seen this before? I'm on 4.3 - not sure whether this was the case with 4.1 or 4.2
Same car used to pair my old samsung s3 as soon as i turn the bluetooth on in my s3.
I have a similar problem with mine, i have the rooted c&j rom on mine and a sony mex bt5000 car stereo, it pairs instantly for phone audio, but half the time doesn't pair for media audio, stereo says pair with 'unknown' if i say yes, nothing happens, if i say no, it requests 1 or 2 more times, and still nothing, the only way i can get it to do it is to pull down the notification bar and select throw from quick settings and select xplod from there, then it connects, then disconnects, then reconnects again! I also have smart connect set up to adjust the volumes and screen brightness when it connects, which again, half the time it doesnt work! I dont know wether its a problem with the C&J rom, the root or with smart connect, I was previously on rooted 4.2 fw and everthing worked perfectly. On a similar subject, I'm also having trouble throwing music to a sony sa-ns410 network speaker, it just hangs and fooks up! annoyingly, my old xperia s throws music to the speaker perfectly. I'm going to try flashing a stock uk unrooted fw to the phone to see if this helps, which is going to annoy me if it does, because i like having root and my lcd density set at 320 which makes the phone look a million times better!
I had the same issue on mine with 4.3 I tried about 3 ROMs with the same Bluetooth issue, went back to 4.2 and not a problem, I've messaged Sony and been ignored .

I've always used a deodexed 4.3 ROM, that might be the problem

I'm not rooted and using the stock rom from my carrier. So it looks like the problem is with the sony 4.3 rom itself if you guys haven't experienced this with 4.2 or 4.1
I have just got myself a sony sa-ns410 speaker http://www.sony.co.uk/product/wireless-speakers/sa-ns410 and my z is not being very nice with 'throwing' music to it, the z is on the rooted C&J rom so not sure if its a problem with that or its just the 4.3 rom in general. the throw icon appears in walkman briefly, then disappears, and if i try to initiate a throw from the quick settings on the notification panel, it doesnt 'see' the speaker. annoyingly, it works perfect from my old xperia s.
So, does anyone else have a similar setup/problem? is it the C&J rom? is it root? or is it the 4.3 rom?
Hi,
Same problem for me too. I own a 310 and 510 wireless Sony speaker. In 1 of 10 attempts it works for me to throw music from walkman to the speaker. Most they do not even appear in walkman app. I am on existenz ultra rom v5 rooted. I am facing this problem even on Stock rom 4.3.
I flashed back to 4.2.2 Throwing is no problem. The speakers appear also in walkman as soon as i opened the app.
My wife owns also an XperiaZ - Same problem. She is on Stock rom 4.3 unrooted.
I hope Sony will fix this problem soon.

It's not just me then! Also, are you supposed to be able to throw any audio to the speaker? e.g. I have an Internet radio app, in my car, when the. phone is paired to my stereo, all audio goes to the radio. Can you do the same with the wifi speaker, or is it only from within certain apps like Walkman?

Hi, my Xperia T does not share the phonebook with the car's bluetooth after the update to 4.3.
I've removed the device from the car's list, and I've started the pairing from first step. The phone never asks for permission to share the phonebook.
Anyone else?
Kind regards.

Am I the only one with the problem???
Hi,
My Xperia V works well with the car's bluetooth system, after my stock update from 4.1.2 to 4.3 .
I can see the phonebook entries.
Maybe you have any Smart Connect or Throw settings in conflict ?
Just a thought...

The device (the car bluetooth system) shows at the Smart Connect with Throw as Functions, and Walkman as Applications, but I can't modify anything.
With 4.1.2, the phone asks for permission to share the phonebook, with 4.3 it pairs fine, but never asks for permission, and the list of contacts doesn't get shared...
All my contacts ara from my Gmail account.
Anyone else?
Kind regards.

What kind of car and system do you have? I have 2012 Fusion and Ford SYNC, and my Xperia T would not work at all with SYNC when it was running ICS. I'm on 4.1.2 now, and I won't go to 4.3 if this is a real issue. Would be great to hear from anyone else on 4.3 (and esp. with an Xperia T) to see if they are or aren't having this issue?
Thanks!

Try to copy the Gmail contacts. To local contacts on the phone. So mabey the car will see them this way.

I don't like this option, it kills the functionality of sharing contacts between devices. But I will give it a try.
Yesterday I received a call, and I wan't able to answer from the car buttons. I had to use the phone to accept the call, I talked through the car's bluetooth, but after that, the car's system got locked...
I've found people with the same problem on Xperia Z 4.2.2

My wife has a Focus'13, but I've not yet tested with it. She also has an Xperia T, but she refuses to upgrade.

Please, can anyone confirm that bluetooth is working with the handsfree of the car?
On my Fiat Punto EVO from 2010 works well without any issue. The car Bluetooth system is Blue&Me (1st generation).

Xperia V with stock 4.3, coming from stock 4.1.2 (rooted) .
Update kept all my Bluetooth and Wi-Fi settings.
Actually, only camera storing on local files instead of SD card and LTE as default were the only settings lost during upgrade.
As a result, my phone works well with the car's bluetooth system (contacts sharing, call handling, ...).
I didn't had to pair it again, and I won't do it, just to be on the safe side

Update kept your settings? For me, I've to configure everything. How do you update keeping settings?
I've reverted to 4.1.2, and now it works again.
Kind regards.

Yes, if you update a stock ROM with Sony PC Companion it will preserve the settings.
Happened to me (coming from 4.1.2 with .145 firmware) and to my wife (coming from 4.1.2 with .140 firmware).

Hello there,
Just to let you know that my Xperia Z 4.3 stopped sharing the phonebook with the car's bluetooth system too (Insignia Navi900).
I can answer the phone and the handsfree simple mode works but there is no sharing of the contacts.
I am baffled too - will try to play a bit with the "smart connect" which automatically assigned "Walkman" to the car's handsfree functionality. To change this I need to be in the car and connected to the HF set.
Will let you know of the results.

UPDATE: I went ahead and installed 4.3, just because I was curious, and I haven't had any problems with Ford SYNC and my Xperia T at all. The only thing that was noticeable was that the first 2 or 3 times I got in the car after I paired, it would pop up a permissions box on the phone for the phonebook, or a permissions box for text messages, which I clicked "OK" and checked "ALWAYS ALLOW", and I haven't had any issues since. I even still have the MOBILE APPS functions working, so I can stream directly from Iheartradio and Pandora as well. Here's my phone specs:
Xperia T LT30p (originally stock AT&T LT30a)
Was: Android version : 4.1.2 / kernel version : 3.4.0-g5b052b2-00814-g976ab37 / Build number : 9.1.A.1.141 / Locked BL / rooted
Flashed: FW release : 9.2.A.0.295. Customization : Customized CE1 / Locked BL / (excluded baseband) / NOT ROOTED
Used Flashtool Version 0.9.14.0
oh, and I do have SmartConnectapp, but no events associated with pairing the car. Not using SmartConnect at all for anything with the car.
I do use it for other things associated with times - so I do have it turn off bluetooth at a certain time, and that does work and disconnect if I'm in the car.
and the car specs:
2012 Ford Fusion Hybrid
SYNC Gen1 - V4.0.2
with the radio that does NOT have the touchscreen - not sure which package it is.
Hope that helps anyone with problems.
Thanks,
Samster

Confirm. My Xperia T does not share the phonebook with the car's bluetooth (Opel DVD800) after the update to 4.3.

UPDATE: My system is still asking for permissions to read text messages everytime I enter and start the car, even with "always allow" checked, and I check "always allow" everytime. No problems with the phonebook, just the read text messages permissions. Eventually, the permission request on the phone disappears, not sure if its granting permissions on its own or not; havent probed further.

OK guys... I'm going back to 4.1 / 9.1.a.0.489. For the following reasons...
1. Its never keeping "always allow" when it reconnects to my car - for permission to read text messages. Everything worked flawlessly with my car on 4.1
2. There's no way to root with a locked bootloader (yet) without installing a recovery
3. It irritates me that when I want to list apps in "most used" order, I'm limited to only 20 app icons. Have to undo it if I want to see more.
Sorry to keep bumping this thread to the top, but this is the last bump I promise.

Confirm on Chevy with CD600 too. The reason seems to be the switch from BlueZ Bletooth Stack to Bluedroid Bluetooth Stack.
The porting of the features seems to be not that easy.

Just wondering whether there is any fix for the bluetooth issue on 4.3 roms. I can connect my phone to car without any issues, but cant syn contacts or answer/reject calls via steering wheel. If not, is it possible perhaps to copy bluetooth related files over from 4.2?

Quite the same problem here. I can pair the XZ with my Car's device (ego flash), but I can't synch the phonebook.
I already deleted the Bluetooth setting on both devices, nothing helps
if somebody has a solution??

sorry for my bad english...
I'm having exactly the same problems.
And it seems as if every android update on my xperia z fixes some bluetooth bugs and brings up some new ones. After each update, my phone behaves differently in my car.
I had the exact same issue, (to give a little more detail) it causes you to either drop wifi connection when on bluetooth or vice versa and i had just bought a sony smart watch that ran off of bluetooth.I never found a fix from sony. What i did do to fix it was flash myself the latest eXistenZ rom, it worked perfectly and both my smartwatch and wifi could work at the same time
Same song different dance
My issues with 4.3 update are related to the poor performance of the bluetooth driver on audio connect.
I have downgraded to 4.2 because i use bluetooth headphones and i have 2 bluetooth speakers, that with the 4.3 are almost useless because:
Low volume output over bluetooth, quality of the audio is a bit down, and most important for a heavy sleeper, the bluetooth speakers are working only with music/video soundtracks, they are not ringing anymore on phone calls, alarms, notifications.
Please, anyone, put the 4.2 bluetooth driver somewhere, flashable or i dont know, i tried everything, but i guess the best option is to install the 4.2 bluetooth driver on 4.3. Is it possible?
Now I found an workaround for me. I deleted all the photos inside the contacts ( about 8 or 9 contacts of 331 had a photo inside). Phone-Book sync and sending contacts separately is working now. Not perfect, but OK for the moment.
Could this be a problem with Android 4.3 ? I never had that before with my Defy, Razr i, Wiko Darkmoon or Alcatel OT6040D.
