So a couple of days ago, I noticed that my car wasn't reading my phone anymore via bluetooth. I thought it may be a car issue so I checked with my girlfriend's HTC one and its working perfectly. Flashed the os through the Sony pc companion repair option, the ftf that I had made as well as factory reset but nothing seems to fix the Bluetooth. It works sporadically.
I also noticed that my sound system was also not detecting on my phone. So I took it to the Sony service place. They reflashed the os and tested it and it was working. I came home and paired it with my sound dock (which is a sony) and it worked for about half a song after which it stopped working. This is frustrating. Is this a hardware or software issue?

Same problem too.
All bluetooth devices can't connect to my Xperia zr, even search it.
This occured after I update my ZR to 4.22. At first it might be software problem, I thought, so I flashed back to 4.12.
But still the same...
Suddenly, after half an our, my SBH20 can connect to my phone, I was so happy that the problem finally solved.
So I start to reinstall my favorite games from googleplay... Than, the bluetooth die again.
Maybe is both software and hardware problem?
Doesn't sound good at all. I will test mine and check.

I'm happy with that the Xperia A finally works well with my Jawbone Era, my GNexus keeps stop pass calls/sounds to my Era.
I'm fine in stock ROM 4.1.2
Unfortunately I'm facing the same issues here.
I searched around and the "Bluetooth Problem" affects other phones as well with similar symptoms, so it's most likely the software that's giving problems. There were varying success with setting the visibility to never timeout. I tried that and it worked for a short while, sadly now Bluetooth is MIA again...
The problem with this problem is that it's hard to nail down the root cause or reproduce consistently, so workable solutions are hard to find. There's an app on the Play store that claims to fix Bluetooth problems but it requires rooting, so I couldn't try it out.
Hmms looks like updating to 4.2.2 doesn't solve the problem for some of you... less rush for me to upgrade then.
Yeah, I also tried one factory reset on the phone, putting it in/out of flight mode, turning the phone on/off, and even toggling Bluetooth quickly trying to "jump-start" the underlying processes. The only change I noticed was when I was attempting the last option, I could briefly see the phone trying to disconnect from my car's Bluetooth, so it looked like something might have worked. For now, I'm just trying to live with the inconvenience every weekend when I drive.
I just find that my wifi will be disconnected by power saving mode and it won't back to work when I switch power saving mode off. Unless I have to disable all power saving mode and reboot. Would you please give it a try to switch power saving off and reboot the phone see if there's any help to the Bluetooth issue. I do only switch on power saving at night before sleep and give it a reboot every time the wifi don't work. That might be why I'm not experiencing Bluetooth issue in daytime. Could anyone can try and send some feedback please.

Nope. No solution here. Will just have to go visit the service center again on Saturday. Need to find a phone with a micro sim to use while Sony tries to fix this problem. I doubt it is software related. Probably a hardware issue.

The app didn't fix anything. Which is why I think it's a hardware problem. If it was software related, it would have come up earlier given that I used the phone for 3 months with no issues.

That's too bad...
I sent my ZR to service center yesterday,and they called me a few minutes ago.
The engineer said that" Your phone is fine here and I return it back to the center, did you forget to turn on your bluetooth setting?"
Umm...what the...
I believe that he didn't do anything about "testing".
Maybe tomorrow I'll go to service center and check, hope it do recovered...

Keep us posted...
I'm wondering ...
Is that SD card module or SIM card module caused this problem?
When I test my phone in service center, bluetooth was great, but after 5 minutes I set my SIM card and SD card in and reboot,it died again.
I guess the clue is between OS reflashed and SD card/SIM card, or even battery?
Guys.. still no news about the Bluetooth issue ??

Just got a replacement handset. So far it seems to be working. I've asked the service center to let me know as to what went wrong with my phone for the Bluetooth to stop working, given that after a reflash, it would work for about half an hour before conking off

I got my phone back yesterday, and it works perfectly so far.
They have no idea about how engineer fixed it, but it seems that they decomposed it and did something.
Because my warranty sticker was gone and the cover inside the battery slot is a little bit raised.
My phone is good right now, thanks guys!
yea but over at my side... Sony Singapore doesnt even wanna repair or have anything to do with phones that they didnt sell... (Yes ZR isnt sold here so I've got an export set)
so if theres any news, i'll be glad: D
Does there anyone try to check up your BT MAC address? I've met a strange thing on my GNexus. That phone from NTT too but not officially unlock network lock. the seller just flash some half done unlock tweak to it, then I found there are many NTT GNexus user have the same BT MAC as my phone does. and that cause us can't use BT trans file between GNexus and BT headset will drop link if there are two GNexus near by.
I've manually change the BT MAC to a new MAC (my old & not use BT headset's MAC) to get it fixed. If there is no clue to fix your BT issue, maybe you can try to learn how to edit your BT MAC on android.
BTW: does any of you who met the BT issue uses Xperia A SO-04E from NTT(the phone with 32GB build-in rom)? or all are 8GB international edition?

The Xperia Z vibrator is not working
I got my Xperia Z (white) yesterday from the Sony Store. It was officially available in India from yesterday.
After switching ON the phone for first time, it seemed to vibrate once. After that I charged it a bit (for 40mins), connected it to PC companion and had an update installed (Although firmware version still remained same....so God knows what the update was all about). After that I installed my apps and everything seemed fine. I did not notice the Vibrator issue till the time I put my phone in silent mode today and as a result later realized that I had 15 missed calls since the vibrator had not worked.
I went to the service menu and did service test for all functionalities. Everything apart from the vibrator works correctly.
Can this be a firmware problem owing to the firmware that was installed through PC companion?
Or is it a faulty set itself?
I'll try to reset everything and probably go for a repair through SUS. If it works, I'll report back. Else it is back to the service centre I guess.
Just another question. If I return it to the service center now, I should get a replacement...right?? Or will they repair it instead? Its just been 2 days :'(
Damn I loved the phone so much and within a day I have this issue :'(
Anyone else having a similar problem????
Most people are having issues with the notification led, but not the vibrator. I'm beginning to suspect it's a hardware issue since it doesn't even vibrate once when you power on the phone..

Hi,
Lately i am experiencing a lot of troubles while typing a message or just unlocking my lockscreen.
The touchscreen respods bad, sometimes it starts moving out of itsselve... Its really annoying to work with the phone like that...
Someone facing the same problems?
Suggestions? Fixes?
Btw. The phone is stock, nothing changed or replaced...
The onling thing i did was removing the shaterproof film (and my Sony logo )
Try repairing it with Sony's PC Companion or Sony's Update Service first.
remember to backup your stuff before proceeding.
Do full wipes.

Did you try to shut the phone down for 30 seconds and restarting it, seems to fix many unusual android issues.
I have noticed sometimes that my phone on the odd occasion does not repsond to screen press.
I am also experiencing the same problem.
Did a factory reset but still the same problem comes occasionally.. any solution ?

I've had this problem only sometimes when charging outside...When u feel that the touch isn't working as it should,put on your earphones and look out for a low buzzing sound..if u hear anything,then unplug the charger from the wall and check in another socket..hopefully the problem in my phone was that current was leaching onto the capacitive screen so if I touch just once,it registers a number of touches..hope this helps u get rid of the problem

That may be the solution to the problem you had but this isnt the problem here , it happens when whether the phone is charging or not and I think themichelanne is having the same problem.
Power off the phone with power+ vol up - wait for 1 vibrate followed by 3 vibrates and leave the phone then wait for 30 second before powering on, solved it for me....no problem in touch till now and i hope it does not come in future.
BTW This phone is really really full of problems.
Also happens to me when using some chargers
I bought my unbranded UK Xperia Z in Expansys, since I live in Portugal they sent a extra charger for the european standard socket. I had this exact same problem with it, the screen was extremely unresponsive and unprecise while charging. Now I use the charger from my old N900 and have no issues. Also, charging from a lower volt/amperage source like a computer I have no problems.
Since the capacitive screen is very sensitive, a low quality AC-DC adapter will generate issues (possibly due to the current/voltage not being 100% stable).

Im also experiencing the same problem. So annoying, especially while texting. Xperia Z's touch not proving to be how it should be.
This happens with this phone for me, and previous android phones. Usually its just the app open not responding to touch events, but my softkeys still work and I can force kill and restart whatever im doing. Sometimes I have to reset. It seems to be happening more frequently since updating to 67, but its not often enough really bother me. using a tool like romtoolbox to increase the amount of touch events android can process seems to improve it somewhat.

Have you found any solutions for this? I have been experiencing this since 4.2.2 update. I don't know what happened. Can you please explain what's wrong and what's happening? Have you got it fixed yet? My screen freezes frequently so I'm unable to use the phone.
I have been experiencing this problem since a long time. But I have found no solutions for it. I took out my screen protector and the freezing thing got to normal but still it freezes sometime, but more when the screen protector is on. I'm pretty sure this problem is caused by the screen or the android farmware. I'm downgrading my OS, please reply to this. Mine is C6602. C6603 doesn't experience any problems like that.
How I fixed my Xperia Z5 touch screen
Hi everyone,
So, my Z5 touch screen was not working at all anymore, I have tried every manipulation recommended on the internet but did not succeed to get it working that way.
Here is what I did to get it fixed eventually:
- Installed sony companion
- Launched the "fix software" program (I don't know the exact name of the program in english)
- Followed the steps (took a while, something like two hours)
Then my phone rebooted, but nothing, still the same issue. Tried taking off the sim card, rebooted and same problem. Then, I put it back in the phone, and for some reason, the touch screen decided to work again. Although, I lost a lot of data in the process, but worth it.
I don't know if it is a general fix, but on my phone it just worked that way. Although, I have noticed that my phone started overheating something like two weeks before the touch screen problem appeared, I assume those two problems are linked in some way. Still did not find any fix for the overheating problem except putting it under cool water or let it cool down for 10 minutes.
I hope I helped with my post, good luck for those who are experiencing this issue.

When you say vibration, do you refer to vibration as haptic feedback or the one when you receive a phone call? Have you checked the setting?
You also might want to check if it's hardware or software related. Go to hidden menu (3845#*880#), ELT test, choose Manual mode, and choose Vibrator. If it vibrates, you can rest assured it's software related. Reflashing your phone might just fix it.

Suddenly my bluetooth won't find any other devices even though it's on it says searching, it can't be seen either even if it's set to be always visible, tried searching through service menu no luck either, my phone is only 2 months old and was working great with my Nokia Bluetooth headphones with my cars audio system, and of course other phones.
Allready repaired phone with Sony pc companion with no luck there, everything else works fine.
Please any help or tips to fix bluetooth please can't afford to get a new phone, in my country there no Sony service center.

My Xperia ZR gets the same problem around a week after purchasing.
Recently I found a way to temporarily solve it (most of the time it stop working right after I release my fingers).
My English is not good. Hope the following elaboration is clear enough.
Use the thumbnail to give some force on the right side (when looking at the back) of the flashlight over the NFC icon, and at the same time use another finger to give force at the edge on the left side of the front camera (when looking at the front).
The Bluetooth usually works when I do so.
YES! it does work i did the same thing looks like something is loosy in there there should be a connection problem i will open up my phone tonight and report it back, i just came here to say its a hardware problem in my guess cuz cyanogen rom didnt solve the problem either thank you sir
for those who dont know where to push, open the back cover and put some pressure on where you see "2nd MIC" push on the whole of microphone itself

Thanks for confirming!
Hope you could give us some guidance in fixing it ourselves. My phone is still within warranty but I doubt if the service centre will listen to my explanation of the problem or would simply try fixing it by reflashing the firmware and then tell me it is not fixable.
yes the bluetooth does starts working when pressing at the back near the nfc icon..thnx for the temporary solution..:good:
You are welcome.
The solution doesn't help much as Bluetooth will soon stop working (on my phone it stop working once I release my fingers), but it may show that there have been some problems in the manufacturing process as a lot of people encounter this problem.
ok what i think is this is a weak connection point in there and i wanted to disassemble the phone but some parts of it are attached with some kind of tape that makes it water proof, so i dont wanna lose the water resistance option on this phone at all and i stopped right there till i find a disassembly guide somewhere before i go further
and if anyone found something please let us know
thank you
and yes its just a temporarily fix to push in there and push a little harder to make it last longer but again not permanently!
EDIT: ok guys check this out
http://www.etradesupply.com/blog/sony-official-reveals-waterproof-cellphone-repair-process/
i dont think that we can fix this problem by ourselves, it needs special equipment and we dont have anything like these so ummmm no option for fixing it by ourselves i guess ...
Thanks to everyone luckily pressed in the right place and bluetooth is working again, so helpful even if it's not a permanent fix, now is it possible to identify which group of phones have this issue??? May be by date or color of phone or place it was manufactured....

Hi
I've noticed an odd problem the last few days, my phone vibrator suddenly stops working. It'll work for a bit and then suddenly stop and then start again without any apparent pattern. I downloaded the Sony Diagnostics app and it fails the vibration test when this happens - the problem is system wide.. The only recent things that I have done with the phone is wash it briefly after using it with dirty hands and changed my sim to go from 3G to 4G. I don't have any other issues with the phone, a restart doesn't always solve the problem
Anyone come across this before?
Edit: fix title
Bump..., it just happened again now
same problem
I have the same issue, but if i turn the mobile in landscape then tap the mic end of the phone whilst running vibrate diagnostic the vibrate comes back intermitently!
Seems like this is a common problem across the Xperia line of devices, there's quite a few threads about other devices with similar problems. Usually giving my phone a shake brings the vibrator back to life for a short while. It's starting to seem like it doesn't work more often than it does
Mine just stopped working today ugh. Let me know if you found a fix for this. Hope it isn't hardware issue
It must be a hardware problem if giving a shake brings it back, it sounds like there's something lose inside although I don't know if that's just how the vibrator is designed to give it space to vibrate or something else. Sony have recommended I send it in for evaluation, gonna be a pain
Giving it a shake does not solve a thing...
Still, instead of sending it to Sony for repair, I got a replacement from Amazon who is shipping the replacement before I return the faulty item...

I sent mine to Sony under warranty and they've replaced some components. I've not managed to start using it in full again but the diagnostic app hasn't flagged up any problems yet
Same thing happens for me.. I googled it and read a post somewhere and someone said it only stops working when he is typing and shaking the device provides a temporary fix...
Shaking it did work for me as well only for a couple of Mins then it stopped again.. I turned off vibration feedback on my keyboard and the issue has not returned.. So for me it seems to be a matter of rapid use

i have the same problem !
Same thing here, keyboard kills it and shaking (massive shake from up and downwards) brings it back..
All is temporary of course..
Can some one please post updated information? Did you find software fix? Hardware fix helped?

Also guys, lets find some common stuff maybe theres something we all did that caused it
For example i have:
1. Rooted
2. Recovery installed
3. Xposed installed
4. Modded dual speakers for calls
Mention if you've got any of these or other things that might be related..

I also have this issue. This issue has been occurring since the first Lollipop update. Never had a problem with KitKat.
My phone is stock with a full wipe install of 5.1.1. However, I did have all my apps reinstalled before the issue occurred. I never tested if this issue occurs with no apps installed as this is my only phone.

Good part is now that it started falling apart for no reason, I might as well unlock it's BL and start messing with it
I have been having the same issue with my xperia z3. Vibration stops working when typing or spamming home and back button at random times . I can't see any pattern to it nor any reasonable explanaition to why this is happening. I have never let water come near my phone, nor have I ever rooted it. A tap on the bottom right corner always fixes the issue until the next time it happens. Has anyone found a permanent fix or what the root of the problem is? I feel reluctant to send my phone for repair as it would definitely take more than two weeks. I am also worried that once they open it for a repair it will never be waterproof again. As I can see, a large number of people are affected. Any solution?
Same problem here with Xperia Z5 Compact, but I also have another problem, because vibration does not work at all on vibration mode.
The phone is new, I have latest android update from Sony.
It is working when the sound is on, I have checked settings, and it says vibration is on.
Hi there, I have same issue with my Brand new Sony xperia E4g, i've bought it only for 1 week. I think this was hardware problem, when shaking my phone, it work, then when i turn it to some another positions, it doesnt work, or sound weird then doesnt work. Over all, it will work if i give a shake, then doesnt work in some specifical positions. Anyone have idea? should I take it to warranty service? Thanks
Same problem...
When vibration stop to work, you had to shake your device. So, the vibration will work again...
It's an hardware issue: I tried to flash another rom. I tried to root/unroot: it doesn't matter.
I sent my Z3C in warranty, but they didn't solve anything
I just had this problem a 2 weeks ago and today while writing message. 2 weeks ago, it just stopped working - so i rebooted device and it started working again. Today, it stopped working, so i just tapped back of phone, and it was working again. After a while it stopped working again, so i rebooted it and it's working fine for now but i saw a long time ago that sometimes that vibrations are randomly losing, and sometimes, that vibrations just feels and sound "weird". Specially when then phone is turned with screen upside down (that situaton happened to me every time when was laying in bed, on side or on back). I can't send it to support, i dont have any other phone that i can use as my backup phone... Ofc phone is rooted, xposed too, MM installed, and it had meet succesfully without any problem with normal water. Im washing it sometimes under stream of tap water, checking before that every side its closed properly...
