Hi, I have just updated to version 434 after a little accident with my /data partition. I have a MW600 Bluetooth headset with OLED screen to display caller and track details. On my Xperia S the bluetooth stack in android ICS didn't support track text ( an android issue). Now I tried this headset when I got my Xperia Z too but am sure track text still didn't work with the Z. So after update i repaired all my bluetooth devices and to my surprise the track text now displays! (only tried this in the Walkman app) I'm quite happy this worked so seeing as I was on a roll i decided to try my Microsoft Bluetooth mouse and pair it up with the Z too. This also works perfectly! (never worked before on previous devices)
Is this a JB feature that these devices now work or was it something in the latest update?
Any ideas?

Any one got an MW600 and Xperia Z on ver. 350 can confirm this?

Hi,
I have (mw600 and 350fw). I've tried and it has showed song's name. But I couldn't use my phone to making calls. So I haven't tried caller ids yet.

Thanks,
They must have added the required items to the bluetooth stack on jelly beans so. Still noce to know though.

I just switched to Xperia Z from my old Xperia ray. On the old phone, I filmed a couple of clips at concerts, using lgcamera and an external microphone (Edutige i-Microphone EIM-004), which worked fine.
Now, on the Xperia Z I wanted to do the same, but no matter which audio settings I use in lgcamera, it appears thet the phone keeps using the internal microphone, which leaves the sound garbled and unusable.
Is there any way to use lgcamera (or even another video camera app) on the Xperia Z with an external microphone?
My specs:
Phone: Xperia Z, out of the box (T-Mobile Germany)
Android version: 4.2.2
lgcamera version 6.4
Microphone: Edutige i-Microphone EIM-004
Any help is much appreciated! :cyclops:
I am also interested in this as I cannot use external Mic in any apps..

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.

Ok guys, let me explain you my problem:
Recently I bought used Xperia T from online store, and seller told me that phone have problem with software. I have flashed a lot of ftf files, and some custom ROMs using TWRP, and in ALL cases my microphone doesn't work, no matter how i want to use it (camera, calling, voice recording (it records noisy sound without detecting any other tones) etc.). When I try to make call other people can't hear me, even when earphones with microphone is plugged in (I suppose that calling should work well because of headphone mic). Only ROM that can make my Xperia works as it should is CM10, 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. So the problem is in software related, not hardware. So I wanted to ask you guys for some piece of advice- what should I do to make newer version of android works on my Xperia. Is there any "microphone drivers", "audio routing", or something similar, just to get some clue about where to start exploring. I cannot use PC Companion since my device is prototype unit. If you have any suggestion, please help me.

Try CM12.1 Neo for your phone. There is faux sound support which has microphone and earphone values. Try it maybe it will work.
That's exactly the first ROM I tried to install, and it have the same problem as other ROMs, even stock ones has that problem (that's really weird). Anyway, thank you for answering my question, I really appreciate that!
Little update- my Xperia T works with all variants of Xperia TX stock and custom ROMs, except camera which is totally inverted and not focusing at all. When I flash stock Xperia T kernel over stock Xperia TX firmare, problem is back, but camera works, so I think that is kernel related problem. So if anyone have some idea what I possibly can do to switch camera drivers (to put Xperia T camera driver in Xperia TX kernel). Any suggestion is more than welcome. Thank you in advance!
