Sudden Bluetooth Degradation - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'm using the Sony mw1 Bluetooth with my Z1 and it has been an awesome combination until recently. I'm starting to have substantially more connection problems and the music is now stuttering so much that it's unacceptable (up to 15 second gaps). I also have multiple connection drops throughout the day when I used to literally have none.
Is there anything I can do to diagnose or resolve this potential issue?
My mw1 works fine with my computer so I'm guessing it's the phone somehow.

Did you upgrade recently to 4.3? If yes a factory reset can help.

I updated a couple weeks ago and it was fine the entire time until just a few days ago. Wanted to avoid that if possible but will consider if this issue persist.

Ok, you just should know that after an update before do anything you have to make a factory reset to set android well. Sometime, for example, after a fresh installation of Android rom is recommended to reboot your device even 3 times. So sometime when issues appear this can help but no guarantee. Anyway if everything working well should fix it.

257 worked much better with my sbh52.
having problems with 290 with Bluetooth too, even after factory reset and even re-flashing from tft

So flash the generic unbranded one. It will work the same way but maybe same issues will not appear.

it is unbranded, but specified for Middle Eastern devices
257 for the same region (MEA) did not have any issues with bluetooth

I'm starting to wonder if my device is defective. Bluetooth is now acting like wifi, and working when it wants and not at other times. Bluetooth seems to turn off even though its still on (and showing its on). It even persist through restarts but works again if I switch it off then on again. I've already factory reset twice to try and diagnose wifi issues and don't want to for bluetooth issues too. Maybe i'll send it in under warranty.

Believe me it is a firmware issue. This bluetooth issue has been mentioned by several members here after updating to 290. and even after performing factory reset.
This issue has embarrassed me many times at work. It shows "connected" but when I try to answer calls through my sbh52, no voice is coming. and then I try to pick of my phone quickly from my pocket before the caller hangs up.
Flash 257 using flash tool and bluetooth will work perfectly again.

[Q] Sony Xperia T reboots if on WiFi

Hi,
I have just received my Xperia T from Orange today. The problem I'm having is that the phone will reboot if previously it entered standby with wifi enabled.
I've tried enabling/disabling "Keep WiFi on during sleep" option. The result is the same.
It works fine with Orange data-traffic enabled.
My T is running on 4.0.4 with build 7.0.A.3.223 build number and I can't update automatically.
Im thinking of rooting and switching to custom ROM or manually flashing the official Sony JB - in either case i'm loosing my warranty.
I just want to know first if this is a known issue and it's fixable with a new ROM, and my device isn't broken.
Any help is really appreciated, as I'm so dissapointed by Sony only after 10 minutes of using the T.
Thanks.

No, that isn't a known issue, and it never happened to me when I had that version.
Try upgrading to the newest stock rom an if it keeps rebooting take it back to the shop because it is faulty. As Hackberrybold said, if you flash the original Sony rom, warranty is not voided.

At least the first thread was started by someone with an Orange Xperia too, like yourself; (the second one doesn't specify).
I wonder if this bug is caused by whatever customization Orange applies to its devices...
Weird T-Mobile didn't get 223 version, nothing past 195.
But doesn't have this issue, if you go for a replacement, see if ee will give you a T-Mobile allocated one...

Unfortunately there is no T-mobile in Romania.
In the meantime I'm taking the legit way, just installed Sony PCC and it seems it has a firmware update for me. I will try this and hopefully I'll be a happier T owner.
Things like this make me miss my former HTCs.
All's well that ends well, my T just runs 4.1.2 // 9.1.A.0.489 and it seems I'm able to exit standby normally with WiFi enabled.
Thank you guys for the prompt answers.
Sony newbie OUT.

Hello! It also happens to my Xperia T. I don't think is the Orange customization, because I have the original ROM from Telcel (Mexico), (7.0.A.1.303), but it only happens with one WiFi Network, the one from my school. In other WiFi's it has no problems at all... at least not yet. When connected to that specifically Wi Fi it reboots ONLY if I press the Standby/power button or goes to sleep by inactivity. I've used it for about 15 minutes (Web browsing, Whatsapp, downloading docs, etc.) without pressing the standby button and it doesn't reboot at all until I press that button, or goes to standby after no use (Mine is set up to 1 minute).
I've tried turning on/off de Mobile Data, and it doesn't affect it. I'm actually going to flash JB today, so next monday I'll try again that conflictive WiFi on JB (Stock official ROM).
If anyone can tell me how to get more info on that WiFi (To see if it has something that can trigger the bug, or anything in common with another conflictive WiFi's) I'll do that on monday.
Tnx

Losing mobile signal frequently

I have an issue where I lose mobile signal every few minutes. If I use Llama and check the "recent" tab I can see Cell: -1:-1:-1 every 10 mins or so and if I'm using the phone the signal will go to nothing, then within a few seconds go back up. Has anybody else seen this issue? I've done a factory reset and it didn't help. I'm waiting to hear back from Sony support, but they're been pretty useless for me in the past.
My signals dropsout all the Time

I encountered the same problem on my xperia l.
You could try taking the battery out the phone when it is switched on "hard reset" ,then take out the sim card and reboot, then switch off, put sim card back in and reboot, it may take a couple of minutes, it's worked for some, Me included
Another thing You could try is putting Your phone into GSM mode from settings but this means You need to keep changing modes when data roaming

Whilst we appreciate the sentiment please take a look at the forum your posting your advice in. The Xperia Z1 does not have a removable battery and the term 'switched on ''hard reset'' ' makes no sense unless you mean using the red button in place of a battery pull.
Not trying to be rude but its frustrating when your device drops signal and the best advice you get is regarding completely different hardware.
To Chrisduffer: Have you rooted your device/unlocked the bootloader or flashed another ROM? If so perhaps consider an alternative Kernel or a software update via the flashtool if its still using the stock kernel?
same problem. No root / no flash. Stock 4.3. Same issue even before update to 4.3.
Any idea what to do? My signal drops down every day like 5-6 times for about 20-30 seconds with no reason. I'm also not able to connect to 3G (at least phone is not showing 3g sign next to the signal strenght).
Hmm...this is interesting because actually I saw this up and down on mine too but I was able to call and receive calls anyway...so I newer bother if is an issue or not...but I losing the internet connection frequently so what's wrong?
Instresting...mine too...stock 4.2.2 rooted, Lb....but when my signal totally drops I am able to call or text!

Sounds almost like the modem driver is crashing and then restarting. Factory default is what I would try first, unless this is happening in places where you have weak signal or are in an enviroment which would cause weak signal (inside, thick walls, metal, etc.).

Hypothetically.
Had a few issues myself with the same stuff. Try another radio via flash tool. Just deselect everything else and just flash baseband, no wipe. Be careful when flashing stuff.

Yes, alternative radio driver should help, if it's not HW issue.
I will try to give the phone on a warranty check ... hopefully they will be able to tell me what's wrong ..
if not, I'll go your way = flashing different ROM with different radio.

thank you for the answer which rom could i install? now i have the rom for italy (IT) that i found here... but i had this problem also with the completely stock device so could it probably be an hardware issue?
You think you have signal issues?
Almost forgot, I had a phone come in once and it had the same issue, ended up only recognising the sim card every now and again, you could try another sim, or even send it back for repair which is what happened with the phone that was brought to me.

losing data signal
I am having the same issue
Any idea?
Should return the phone?
I sent the phone to the warranty, I have also the results of the tests and they are all passed... So I really don't know how to do... If I find a nexus 5 i'll try to change this xperia for that, I can't stay whiteout signal when my old iPhone 4s receive it very well

Xperia T (lt30p) Wifi problem

Hello. I have a certain problem which I would like to discuss here and ask for advice. I would really like if you could read everything and not just start with the "standard wifi fix" answers like "restart the phone" and such.
1. My problem: The problem that I face is that when I try to connect to a wifi network one out of the two following things happen:
-It connects and instantly disconnects
-It connects and after some time losses connection and says that it's out of range. This can happen after 5 seconds or 15 minutes/it's totally random.
I think that the first thing is connected to the second so let's just discuss the second.
2. Where and when: It happens everywhere and always. It happens at my home, at my school, even in Greece where I spend my vacations (just giving you some examples.).
3. Things I tried to fix my problem myself: I googled my problem for over 1 month now and found a lot of those "standard wifi fixes" I mentioned before. I checked all the settings on my phone for example avoid bad connections, disable wifi during sleep, battery saving etc. I did a factory reset 3 times, I even screwed with my router (even though it can't be my routers fault as it happens everywhere as stated and I am fairly educated in networking and setting up a router). And yes, I did update my phone to the latest version of android available which is 4.1 for me.
4. Contacting my operator: I contacted my operator and gave them a brief overview of my problem. So I went to the store and they sent it to the repair center/company that fixes Sony phones in my country (note: my phone is still under guarantee). After 2 weeks I got my phone back but they wrote that they didn't find the problem and just did a factory reset. After 1 day of usage, with the of course not repaired phone, I sent an very detailed email to the repair center explaining my problem and they told me to send it back again which I did. After a couple of days passed the repair center called me and the guy who was supposed to fix my phone told me that he did a factory reset yet again and that he isn't finding any problems with browsing the net with the phone.
5. Some important information: The phone had never been exposed to any water/fall damage in any kind of form, it was neither rooted/flashed or anything like that and there were no applications that could have messed up any files or settings (for example wifi fix apps and such). I am running the latest available firmware (checked with xperia update checker, sus and PC companion) which is 9.1.A.1.141 R1.
6. Some probably not so important information: A friend of mine which I meet quite often has the same phone but has an different operator is running 4.3 and has no problems with the phone what so ever. Also when I went to the center of my operator the guy that helped me tried to connect to the router he was literary 2 m away from and it instantly disconnected him saying "not in range".
7. Don't say those things as I already tried them without success:
-everything connected to wifi/network/battery saving settings on the phone (avoid bad connections, auto IP, Static/DHCP etc.)
-my router settings (channels, security etc.) - every other device works perfectly fine
-SIM card - calling, mobile data and such works fine
-apps - never had "wifi fix", battery saving or any kind of form of apps on the phone that would "improve" it's performance
So I am really desperate right now and would really appreciate if someone could help me.
EDIT: I forgot to mention that after some time after a couple of minutes it shows the network as being available again (but doesn't reconnect) or waits until I restart the phone before it let's me connect to it again.

Did you update OTA?
If I were you I'd flash a different ROM (different FTF) maybe a different version or a different region, and maybe even backup TA partition, unlock, root, and flash a different Stock ROM and/or a custom ROM (CM, Carbon, etc), and see if the problem persists.
If there still is a problem then it definitely is a phone (hardware) problem, especially considering other devices work on the same network you're attempting to connect to.

I updated using PC companion as soon as I got it.
I would love to try flashing it and using either the latest official unbranded rom for my phone or CM/omnirom but I still have one year of warranty left which I don't really want to void. But to be honest if I can't get to fix the phone in the next month or two I'll probably buy a Nexus 5 and flash the hell out of my xperia T.

When flashing a unbranded ftf with Flashtool you dont lose warranty, as far as I know.
If nothing helps with your issue, you could send the phone to Sony two more times and ask for a refund, should the problem persist. :good:

So if I understood you right flashing does not void my warranty because there is no need to root the phone which means as well that there is not need to unlock the bootloader? Side question, is this "global" or can my operator deny warranty because of an unbranded rom on the phone?

Flashing with Flashtool (the one here on xda, not Sony) is like updating via pc companion.
Just keep an ftf of your original operator firmware on your computer, should you need to revert for warranty purposes.
Flashtool leaves no traces on the device.

I've backed up my TA partition, unlocked it, rooted it, changed ROMs, gone back to stock, relocked bootloader, and it's never left any trace of me having altered it, so if you do things properly, I don't see how you would lose the warranty. What they don't know can't hurt them

I'll be sure to try it as soon as I get my phone back from the repair center. If it doesn't fix my problem I'll just buy a Nexus 5 which should pretty much fix all my problems regarding updates too.
Thank you for the advice everyone.
I had the same problem on my Xperia V with firmware 9.1. Now that I switched to 9.2 the problem is even worse!
Sometimes I loose my connection and in the Wi-Fi list I only see 1 or 2 networks, where I normally see at least 10 networks. Then I reboot and everything is back to normal...
Could be a firmware problem. I don't know if it's possible to reload the Wi-Fi firmware without rebooting?
I've just found that when it starts to bug, I only see networks in the 5GHz band. Networks in the 2.4G band are not visible.

Ok, my warranty expired too! I also tried software repair and still not working and i now see that Bluetooth also is not working.
Hey guys. I fixed this on my phone about a month ago. So far no one has commented if it has helped them or not, but here is my post again. Let me know if it helps.
I had this problem on my Z3c for a while (as well as no wifi or bluetooth). My device is well out of warranty. I received a RMA number last week to send it in in hopes that it would be an affordable fix. I was getting it ready to send out today and decided to try a couple more things.
As others have said, I went in to the diagnostics and test the WiFi (passed) Bluetooth (passed) and GPS (failed). I then decided to test WiFi and Bluetooth a couple more times to see if it would eventually fail. It never did. After that, I went to turn WiFi on manually and to my suprise.... it turned on! Bluetooth and GPS were also magically working.
Before this I had tried numerous factory resets, diferent android versions, different roms (without unlocking the bootloader) with no success. I'm not sure exactly what happened, but hopefully it can work for some of you!

I have exactly the same problem but only one thing is different that my Bluetooth is working. There only problem is wifi. I belive that is no hardware problem. There must be some kind of glitch in software where you accidentally doing this things jumped over. I have tried your tip. No success. Im going to do this every day to see if I have luck. My Bluetooth and wifi passing test every time GPS is failing.

Yes, please do post back your results. I'm not sure if what I did was a fluke of what, but I was shocked when I saw my WiFi turn on. Almost every other post I have seen about this either stops getting replies or the OP sent it in for repair numerous times.

I forgot to mention I was on the latest factory lollipop image. I'm not sure what you are on. Are both WiFi and Bluetooth passing the tests?
I'm not sure if they are connected or not.

This is no solution. There is not problem with my router. I have done it many times anyway. There is problem to find any wifi point.
Nobody?

When I was trying to root, I ended up using KingRoot and replacing it with SuperUser afterwards. None of the other methods seemed to work for me.
Ok. I have rooted my phone with giefroot. Very simple. You only follow the guide. But now I have rooted phone and gone to to root Explorer and can't find the file I should delete.

Sorry, I can't help with that. I don't see it on my phone either. I have no idea what that folder is or what it does either.
F*ck, I have same problem, wifi won't turn on. Few times after phone was turned off for long time it worked but mostly just stuck. Bluetooth works so can I be sure it's not a hardware problem?

Another WI-FI issue

As I've already read, SD 835 phones including this one suffer Wi-Fi drops and disconnects. My particular issue is that even though the device is connected to wifi either speed seems to slow down a lot or internet simply doesn't work, I can tap whatever I want in Chrome and the loading bar below the address bar fills in a millisecond and disappears. Happens on different routers, router configuration reset doesn't help nor does device reset. Was the issue already addressed by any update or should I wait?

It is, however most people complain about disconnects making them restart the phone. In my case wifi is still connected, but it sometimes seems to stop working while still being connected and wifi relaunch fixes the issue.. 145 fw didn't solve it, so I guess we should wait.

Is the US version affected by this?

No idea, but if people stating it's Snapdragon 835 issue are right , US version should also be affected. I'd rather ask an owner though.

As I recall there was a wifi lag problem with the first couple of builds, but I've had no issues with wifi since November. So perhaps it was fixed in a firmware update?

I've updated to .145 a few days ago (branded rom) and wifi connection seems to have improved, no more hangs. It might be different router in use, so I'll confirm when I'm back home so that I test in on the device I've had problems with.

I've been using .145 all this time. I'm still experiencing the issue.

I returned mine and ordered the US version to see what's what. Should be present there too but one can hope... don't want to give up on the phone but if I encounter it there too then I'll have to go for another model. I'll report back whatever I'll find.
Have a similar wifi problem using (US) firmware .145. A restart fixes it, but eventually the problem resurfaces again. May wait to update until firmware following .179 is available, as I've read that in some cases .179 makes the problem worse. (?)

I did this. Problem was still present on US phone as some predicted. Returned that phone as well.
I'm using CE1 .145 firmware and it started to do that problem a week ago. I have never experienced that before that time. I have to restart my phone at least twice a day and it appears even I'm not connected to any wifi router.
I'll see when update will come. It's horrible.

I'm not experiencing the Wi-Fi disconnect very often, fortunately, but it makes the problem more difficult to diagnose. Odd that some people experience it regularly, even several times a day.

For me it happened several times in a couple of minutes time. I'm on a college campus though, a lot of wifi hotspots around because of the university's wifi network, I think that made it worse.

Several days ago, my xperia also sufering wifi issues. The wifi is disabled by my device.
I have done so much attempts to solve it until I got this:
Connect the device to the PC and open ADB Fastboot. Then, conduct this codes:
adb shell
settings put global captive_portal_detection_enabled 0
That's all. My wifi work again.
I hope that will work on you.
Code:
adb shell
settings put global captive_portal_detection_enabled 0
This worked for me. Thank you
