[Q] viber app problem in xperia z

hi i did install viber app to xperia z half of the sticker not displaying did flash the phone two time with rom Aur and also stock but no luck pls help some one have this problem thanks in advance

Same problem here...

another problem with xperia z, if you are talking via viber from the external speaker, once you finish your call the sound and notification will com out of the calling speaker not the external speaker. i hope could fix those issues in the next release.

I had exactly same problem as you did, bit it looks like it is Viber problem. My wife had same thing on hers SII and SIII. Viber uninstalled till bug free version don't come out.

Viber installation problem for Sony Xperia Z
Hi, I have a new Sony Xperia Z, and I downloaded the Viber app. After typing in my phone number, I was notified that an SMS was on its way to me, only this never happened. Even after getting support from my phone supplier, I am getting nothing. I was told at one of the stores that I have my contract for the phone with, that is was maybe due to the phone being so new! On this website, I see many people already using Viber on their Sony Xperia Z, Can you help?

Hardware Camera Button to make Pictures

Hi!
Is there any simple solution to use the volume buttons for taking pictures with the sony xperia z camera app?

Thank you

Of course I did, but there is no solution for the Xperia Z.
And as I wrote, i want to use the stock camera app from Sony - not any 3rd party which, in your case, also costs money.

[Q] 4.3 Bluetooth Audio Quality

Is anyone else's music through bluetooth terrible with the 4.3 update? Any ideas on a fix? I've tried various ftfs and full restores to no avail ;(

What do you mean terrible? I'm using MW1 with 4.3 and everything is fine, with less power consumption.

Mainly constant crackles/distortion on highs (cymbals, etc.), running through both a DS220 and a Sony BT stereo. I've experienced it on a lot of other phones/devices over the years but never on something made by Sony I've looked through some threads on generic issues with 4.3 BT audio but I just wanted to see if others were having the same issue with this specific firmware first. Do you know which update you're on?

I'm using a Sony SHB20 headset and i'm on 4.3 update 14.2.A.0.290 and I have the same problem. The sound is terrible... It's like a crackling sound... Can't say if it's because of this update, becuase I didn't try my bluetooth headset until this update, but the problem is definetly there.

Yeah, mine definitely sounded great before the 4.3 update - with my limited knowledge I've tried replacing the a2dp and bluetooth .so files from other .290 firmware and even the 4.4 z ultra firmware with no luck. Not even sure if it should work anyhow.
Did you unlock your bootloader or root?
There is another thread for this on Sony's site that hasn't been active since last week also but may be good to keep an eye on (can't post links since I'm a n00b)

Yes here I have same Problem before the 4.3 update the sound was fine. Now its Bad as hell hopefully somebody can fix it because I listen a Lot of music over Bluetooth headset. Im on a generic Europe 4.3 Firmware rooted and unlocked Bootloader. Sry for my bad english coming from Germany

Possible temp fix?
There's an app on the play store called "xperia z1 bluetooth media fix" that you might try. I haven't listened enough to tell if it works very well but from the test I did earlier it seems to sound a little better, but to me it's still not quite as good as I remember on 4.2.2.
Let me know how it works for you.

I've tried this app too but I Don't here any Differenz But I search on Google and found out that the Google nexus Devices had the same Problem with 4.3 Firmwares... There was a fix for it but it wont Work for us. Bluetooth fc's After I try to replace the 2 files(audio.a2dp.default and Bluetooth.default) in system/lib/hw. So maybe a dev could take a look @ these 2 files and edit them for better quality because I cant open them and I dont want to break my Bluetooth

Bluetooth A2DP quality on 14.2.A.0.290
Acknowledged. I have exactly the same problem. I use two headsets : MW600 and Smart Wireless Headset Pro and both have this problem. I can say that the problem was due after upgrading to firmware 14.2.A.0.290. On firmware 14.1.G.2.257 everything works perfectly. Yesterday I installed several times 14.2.A.0.290 and 14.1.G.2.257 and accurately shows that 14.1.G.2.257 everything is OK, but on 14.2.A.0.290 like 64kbps .
As mentioned above, a topic about the Nexus 7, a similar problem. There it is treated by replacing 2x files. It would be great if someone knowledgeable would look at it all. Because wait for a fix from Sony can be very long ...
I found the topic at Sony, who cares - and vote for the issue. Maybe then Sony will release an update. Bluetooth A2DP quality on 14.2.A.0.290

Link to the files you're talking about?

so here the file from my Xperia Z1 C6903 14.2.A.0.290 Central Europe:[URL="https://www.dropbox.com/s/24zwvp1tkjeeafu/Bluethoot%20files%20Xperia%20Z1%20290%20firmware.rar"[/URL]
For now i Switched to SlimKat 4.4.2 Rom because of this issue with Bluetooth.But if you can fix the Problem this would be great !!!

No one can help? :crying:

Hi, I am facing the same problem.
I have a SBH 50 headphne, and the audio quality is worse than with my Xperia S. Plus I get constant reconnection, it get disconnected and it connects a minute after. I think this may be related to the throw feature.

I just flashed the C6903 14.2.A.1.136 BAL firmware and it's much better for me now. Hopefully LTE is still working on it too..

Official 4.4.2 not so great?

Hi, I got this update this week, but it seems to make the UI much uglier and harder to use. Also it feels a bit buggy, the Walkman was randomly playing and pausing on headphones or speaker.
Is it just me?

I'm on UK Generik .290 and still waiting for KK update.... Anybody have the update already?
Sent from my C6903 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

We know that the KK 4.4 is not so great, users facing many bugs. I didn't update to 4.4 just because of bad reviews.

Make sure you hard reset and wipe the data clean. Usually a upgrade of a software version is recommended to do that.
I haven't had the music player malfunction.

Well the idea of new statusbar kinda sucks because previous was much more comfortable, additionally I experience major camera lag for example when switching front camera to back and vice versa, also phone lags after taking picture and while switching to video. I also experience Force Closes. Touch became less sensitive but as for camera quality I must say that 8MP mode now take great pics even in low light +1.

Excuse my words but after using cyanogenmod and then this... 681 feels like **** more like a broken firmware i flashed cm11 again it is the real KK

That's your Opinion.

Oh, I see. So everyone is having some sort of issue with this update... I hope they fix it, although I fear this is what we'll be stuck with for a long time, unless you go custom.

I've been having problems with the ringtone/notification volumes. This morning the volume was so low, I could barely hear it. Also, there is an irritating 'click' just when there is a notification.
Appears that the official Sony forum is flooded with complaints; it seems that sometimes it rings through the earpiece! I sure hope I'm not stuck with this for a long time. I wish I hadn't upgraded.

Is there any way to revert to the previous update? Or at last change the top toolbar menu back or at least change it? I don't know the term for it...

This upgrade has been the worst for Xperia Z1.*. Problems with sound notifications, overheating of the battery, rapid battery consumption, etc, etc, etc ...
I hope that Sony will soon solve these problems.

Greetings,
Before i flash back the 4.3 which at my opinion is the BEST firmware for Z1 right now , i played with official KK one week and i noticed that the battery life wasnt so great anymore , i had some random overheating problems , the new notification UI its terrible , i had the problem with the sound coming from the ear speaker than the regular speaker , the overall feeling was buggy less smooth .
So yeah i revert back to 4.3 and i am totally happy , loving again my phone , feeling comfortable and reliable .
Cheers
Vatis

I flashed my UK handset originally Vodafone but bought 2nd hand and network unlocked. I used Flashtool to flash CE 1 of KK (681) not had a problem with overheating or any other bugs mentioned at all. I did flashed with full wipe.

The overheating is just happening when i am gaming, but the sound issue is really bad.....cmon!!

[Q] Sparkle V WiFi & Camera Problem

Hello,
I wanted to know if you guys are facing the following problems with your sparkle V or android one devices too?
1) The Wifi is stuck on turning on randomly & is fixed only by a restart of the phone. Is this a problem with my handset or android if you guys face the problem too?
2) (Specifically for sparkle V users) on the camera part there is dust accumulating & to be specific before you say that I can remove the back cover & clean it, the dust is inside which can only be cleaned by opening up the phone fully. Should I get a replacement through the service centre?
Please help as I'm worried that my money doesn't go to waste.
Thanks

Running any custom rom? That might be the problem. I'm currently on stock 5.1(rooted and unlocked bootloader) but I'm not facing the wifi problem and neither is dust accumulating in my camera. It might be a problem with your set, so get it checked at the service center.

No I too am on stock ROM & just rooted it. The bootloader is locked
I think I got a defective product. Have you had any experience with karbonn's service centre? Are there any chances they might replace my phone with a new one?

I submitted my phone today to the service centre & I was blown away. It just took 2 minutes waiting time (i expected around 30 mins) & the technician was very cordial. Although for the dust problem he said that it might be coming from the earphone jack & is a "common problem". He'll clean it for the dust problem & install the software again to fix the wifi problem "LOL". I'll get my phone by tomorrow (another unexpected thing).
Still I gave the phone & hope the problem is gone.

Reflash with stock ROM as no wipe is required..

Go back to stock to stock kitkat and then reflash again, if the problem still persists you may have received a faulty piece. Also try out as many custom roms and see whether they have same issue and making sure its not a hardware problem.

Ok so I got my phone & I'm really impressed by Karbonn's service till now, last time my experience with micromax was average as I had to wait for 30-45 mins. just to ask how much would the screen replacement cost.
He cleaned up the dust & flashed kitkat. Till now everything's working fine. Should I upgrade to lollipop as previously when I had WiFi problems I was running the stock lollipop downloaded from the forums.

I think you can download officially on Saturdays from "System updates" . Also, what is the problem with your screen? And yes, lollipop is a little better than the kitkat. Also you can try CM 12.1 as its the best ROM and stable also.
