[Q] WiFi + Google Play Music issues - Xperia SP Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Got a problem with my mother's Xperia SP. WiFi doesn't seem to stay on when the screen is off, despite the right option being ticked in settings. It doesn't show any sign that it's disconnected, but Google Play Music stops downloading the long queue of music we've selected to be stored on the device if the screen is closed for a little while. This is most frustrating, and I suspect a software bug.
This is an Xperia SP on Orange, build number 12.0.A.2.254 (the latest available, Android 4.1.2) and the bootloader is not unlockable or I would have installed Cyanogenmod already.
Any ideas?

Point two is not a bug. In my customization "N" mark was not present on previous android versions too.
I can also confirm point 13 which is real pain in the ass.
Ive noticed that camera flickers in low light conditions which is also present on recorded video but pictures have less noise in my opinion.

I also encountered all except 9 and 12 hope they will fix this soon
Hi,
I have a TX with update 4.3 (the USA firmware that was posted here at XDA), and about the 100% charge reboot problem, it only occured to me after rooting the phone (First fastboot kernel with CWM, then install SU and after restorting the kernel from the 4.3 ROM).
When I flash again 4.3 (wipping everything) and staying like that (no root) I don't have the 100% charge reboot problem.
So I think that the 100% charge reboot problem is related to the root process.

Can't be. I haven't rooted just installed the generic CE and left my phone on overnight and this morning was up late as a consequence.
See my post on Sony Support http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-T-TX/Xperia-T-also-got-charging-bug-4-3/td-p/562469
I am starting to really lose my patience with this company now.

it working in my xperia
About 13 - phone turns off after charged to 100%.
I haven't yet experienced it.. Are there people who doesn't have that issue? Maybe it's related to previous bootloader unlocking/flashing kernels/mods/doing some risky stuff without any practical knowledge about it?
In other words - if you have that issue please report - have you flashed custom kernels in the past/done some major modifications ? Maybe you have phone from second hand and previous owner put there not original battery? Let's gather all the info we can.
4.3 bugs
NO NFC ICON WHEN ON-BUT WORKS
NO ICON WHEN PLUG EARPHONES-BUT WORKS
100% CHARGES..REBOOT-experience 2 times,phone not rooted,flash USA region firmware,
BLACK BOX VOLUME-SOLUTION-APPLY ANOTHER THEME AND RESTART PHONE.

PS:which region firmware are you using plz?
Point 3: the volume bar is black because you used theme that dowloaded from play store. Just apply stock theme and reboot, the volume bar will show correctly

No NFC icon or earphone icon is not a bug.Android system itself removed them in 4.3(or the system doesn't show them at all - Sony adds it). CM10.2 and CM11 don't show the icons either.
The earphone icon in 4.1 is shown by an Sony-made app,not the Android system.

[Q] Screen Flickering

Hi, My Xperia Z C6603 is having screen flickering which I can't even use the device at all. Everything seems to be fine when Sony Xperia logo appears (maybe cuz of the black background). Also when the phone is being wiped then you could see the android bot without even a trouble. However I can't use it after the phone is booted. Flashed Android v4.4.4 again but no luck. Can anyone tell me whether it is a problem of my LCD or a problem of my Software? I can got to settings even while screen is flickering however I won't be able to see anything when I go to some settings, such as Developer Settings, Display Settings. (and mostly everything I guess )
Same problem occured with me sony Xperia z running stock 5.1.1 latest

Music cast plays intermittently

Hello good people,
I hope someone finds time to read this and help me to find a solution.
I was using "throw" function on the default Music player app to play on my Denon AVR since my Z3c was on KitKat, later it upgraded to Lollipop (I think then it became "cast" instead of "throw") and later it upgraded to Marshmallow - all was good, one touch and I had music playing through my audio system. I recently replaced my phone with another Z3c and was happy until tried to cast my music - it plays intermittently (2 seconds of sound followed by 2 seconds of silence and this repeats non stop). I've tried installing 3rd party apps (AirAudio) but the issue remains. Today I had a chance to hold my old Z3c and to my big surprise - it also developed the same intermittent play issue when casting! The only thing which changed on my old Z3c since I owned it was that it was reset to factory default settings.
Any ideas would be very welcome, second day googling and still no music
Thank you!

Hi,
was the version of firmware on your replacement phone the same as your old phone?
The early versions of Marshmallow had a problem with Bluetooth, specifically throw and stuttering audio.
Have you tried to update your phone with PC Companion.
How far are you willing to go to fix your problem?
I am using the latest version of MM from a developer called Wajik that has no Bletooth issues. But obviously you'd need to root your phone and add recovery to get there. I know it sonds complicated, but there are several great guides and lots of friendly folk here to help you if you get stuck.
Edit: There is a music player called Poweramp, that has the ability to change the priority of the player, it also has a buffer that you can change yourself. With both of these features tuened up you might be able to defeat the stuttering without any major regime change. It also comes as a trial as well.

Samsung S5 neo Android Auto Music crashes

Hi,
I had been using Android Auto with a Huawei P8 lite. It never crashed, but only the response times where a bit sluggish.
I got a brand new Samsung 5 Neo, and after setting up the phone, there was immediately an update to Marshmallow.
When I started using Android Auto, I was pleased to see that the overall experience was faster and better than my Huawei.
But for some reason, during (longer) drives, my Spotify (and Google Music), would crash in the middle of a song. (first a stutter, it could happen after two songs, five songs, there is no logic in it). After it crashes, Google Maps becomes unresponsive. The only thing that helps is disconnecting the cable.
After reading the web, I learned that it could have been because of the marshmallow update.
So after trying all the usual fixes (rebooting phone before using Android Auto, keep data always alive, etc), I decided to downgrade to Android 5.0.
At first sight, I thought everything was solved, but after a few days, the exact same problem started to appear
I will now try to clear the app cache, and reboot the phone each time, but I'm a bit dissapointed that it doens't work as it's supposed to work.
Any tips, remarks are welcome.
Downgrading to Android 5 didn't help, so I flashed it to a version of Android 6.
Magically the issue got away. And interesting fact, after a few days without any problem, a song started to stutter (I thought "not again"), but there was a message on android auto that said: "no internet connection", and the song paused (without the whole head unit crashing). Interesting enough, the whole playlist is available offline on my phone. So I guess, it's some sort of background data the music app needs (maybe the syncing to last.fm), that caused the issue. But glad, for some reason in this build, they handle the exception better.

[Q] Delayed device lockout

Hello. Is there any way, trick anything to eliminate the looser locking device error. I checked on many copies of this model and this error occurs. This applies to Android LP, for KK it does not occur. It is annoying that the screen, despite the blackout or the power button, or the connection is still active for about 1.5sec so I can turn off the microphone, switch to speakerphone, etc. I also noticed that it is also in xperi M2. Unfortunately I do not have permission to insert a video with a detailed description of the problem. "delayed device lockout xperia z. how to fix it?" yt
