Stereo Bluetooth Headset Issues - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey Guys. I am a noob to the Xperia Z C6606. I have had several Samsung and HTC Android devices over the years and have rooted and modded them all thanks to xda-developers. This is my first Sony phone. I currently have two stereo bluetooth headsets; an LG HBS-730 and a Sony SBH-80. The play/pause, forward, reverse and phone answer/hang up buttons only seem to work sporadically with any music player I use and I am also running the stock phone app . Its a hit or miss issue. I have these issues no matter what music app I use including the Walkman app. I really love the Walkman app since I am a Music Unlimited subscriber with the way Music Unlimited is integrated into the Walkman app.
I am running a stock and unrooted Xperia Z. Is anyone else experiencing these issues and, if so, is there a work around? I am willing to root my phone if needed.

I read somewhere that it is related to 4.3. Try downgrading to 4.2.2 and report back

I should have mentioned that I an already running 4.2.2; build 10.3.1.E.0.1.9.1. This is the most current build for T-mobile.

Umm, sorry I don't have any idea of how to get it work then..... You could try to reset your phone, but I doubt it will work

Thanks for your input. I may go ahead and try a reset. I hate having to pull out my phone every time I have to answer a call or want to change or pause my music. You would think that a Sony bluetooth headset would work with a Sony phone.

Okay, this gives me more reason the try a reset. I am guessing that you are running 4.3? I think that the C6606 is the only model that has not had the update.

I got the controls working again with my stereo bluetooth headsets. I did a factory reset on my phone. My only guess is that one of my apps was interfering. Thanks St.Jimmy90.

[Q] Bluetooth Car Audio Issues

Hello fellow HTC One members/XDA enthusiasts!
I have owned many phones in the past few years and never had any issues pairing with bluetooth devices until now.
I have a Pioneer X910 in dash head unit in my car and briefly had the audio working (no on screen information) but then it stopped and when I hit play it started playing out of the phones speakers.
It does say that the phone is connected and on the phone itself it sees Pioneer Navi and also in the settings it shows audio enabled.
Now for the life of me I cannot get any music playing over BT in my car. I have yet to try phone calls with it.
BTW I have my phone rooted with OrDroid on it.
Has anyone had this problem or know the solution? I can play music on my BT speaker in my house but not on my Pioneer X910
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
No one is having this issue?
I may have to return this phone if this feature doesn't work...
Also my work email is not being "Pushed" through EAS....really frustrated with such a beautiful phone...
Which ordroid version are you working on?
HTC tweaked some bluetooth things during 1.29.401.5, and every Update some problems disappear...

I'm on OrDroid 3.0.0
I un-paired the device today and re-paired, started to work for a few seconds, shut the screen off, it stopped working and now won't play through the speakers anymore.
BTW I'm using N7 music player

I had a similar issue pairing my old EVO 4G with my Ford Sync system via blue tooth. Don't know if this is related but the issue I had was when Sync tried to download my contacts/address book it would choke. Turned out Sync couldn't handle merged contacts. If your Pioneer is trying to download your contacts try disabling it.
still not working. i am now using trickdroid 5.1.0 and it does the same thing.
very frustrating
anyone else having these issues?

Works fine with my Pioneer AVH 2400BT, even displays the Track Info on the head unit. I did notice the audio breaking up when using Tom Tom and listening to music at the same time.

Revolution HD ROM might be worth a try, maybe it has a more up to date version of Blue Tooth. Is your Pioneer on the latest firmware? If not it might be worth updating it too.

Phonebook not synch throught bluetooth after 4.3

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.

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

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.

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

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.

[Q] Bluetooth audio in your car, is song info being displayed?

When connected to my car's bluetooth and using Google Music, artist/title/album info isn't being sent to my car's display, anyone else having the same problem? It works fine on my Nexus5 so I assume the Google Music app isn't the problem. What happens is it will usually correctly display the song info when I first launch the player but then it never updates. Could the Z3c be using an older bluetooth a2dp profile than the Nexus 5, anyone know how to check?
Track info displays and updates correctly in in my car.
I use Spotify and Google Play Music

Works flawlessly here.
Strange, I wonder why it would work flawlessly on my Nexus5 and not at all on z3c.
After some more digging around I found in Sony's Z3 Compact white paper, it lists bluetooth AVRCP profile version 1.3, whereas the Nexus 5 uses version 1.4, I think this might be the problem. I also found threads elsewhere on xda where people with phones running AVCRP 1.3 had the same issues in their car. I also tried using Spotify and the Walkman app and none of them work.

I've tried everything already. AVCRP is the profile responsible for the car controlling the phone and getting the display info, the Sony is using an old version. Lots of people have reported problems with their car not getting display info on phones running the bluetooth AVCRP 1.3 profile.

Lots of people are reporting it as working, I am not sure that a newer version would fix the issue, as it is backward compatible.
It's not working, at all, for me.
I have a Sony XAV-601BT stereo in my car, and this worked fine with Samsung phones, Blackberrys, and iPhones. Even the Xperia ZL worked for AVRCP.
This one isn't. I can skip tracks and pause and play, but I get no song info through any app.
Very, very frustrated about this.

I can follow up on this by saying that I took my phone to an electronics store with multiple radios on demonstration. It didn't work on any of them. I'm going to try completely resetting the phone to see if it helps.

I'm starting to think it may be a regional/ROM based issue. Mine is on 23.0.A.2.93 and says there are no updates, so I'll see what I can find to make this work.

Interesting, let me know what happens, that's the same exact problem I'm having. Also, I ordered my phone from the UK but I'm in the US, my phone is running 23.0.A.2.105.

Could you be so kind as to let me know what head unit or other device you're using that it's displaying on?
Worst case scenario is I guess I have to throw some money at a new head unit.
The odd thing is I couldn't find any that worked at a local store. I tried quite a few.

I wanted to let you guys know that I heard from Sony about this issue. They acknowledged the bug and claim it will be fixed in the Android L update.
I no longer have this phone (because AVRCP didn't work, and it's kind of important to me) but for those of you who suffer from this, hopefully Sony will fix it.
Here's verbatim from Sony:
According to our internal teams, the issue should be fixed in the Android L release for the Z3 Compact.
Best regards,
Joe from Developer World
It worked fine for me. I also got the Sony Head Unit in my car (XAV-BT602).
What's really confusing me is that it worked fine even with displaying track titles and so on but somehow (and I really can't figure out what I could have changed) it doesn't work anymore. If someone finds a solution for this I would very appreciate his help.

[q] [problem] headphone jack not working

Hello All,
Recently my HTC One's headphone jack has stopped working. I've tried multiple pairs of headphones, and when I play music, it comes out of the speakers.
Any solutions? I've tried factory resetting, force closing Play Music and Soundcloud, and turning on/off beats audio.
Thanks!

Any solutions? I've tried factory resetting, force closing Play Music and Soundcloud, and turning on/off beats audio.
Thanks!

You already have a thread here with the same info why creating another one? If no one answered your question, just bump your thread, no need to create another one
If no headset are working in your phone it looks like your audio jack has failed. Are you running any custom rom/kernel? If yes return to stock and check if the problem persist, if yes then its probably broken --> send it for repair.

I am on stock Play Edition 5.0.1 software and cannot send it in for repair, as I am not under warranty anymore.

you can always send it for repair but it will cost money, unfortunately.
What about using Bluetooth headsets?

I'd rather fix it myself or order a new phone. As for the bluetooth headset, I am not a fan of Bluetooth headsets.
After a factory reset, cache wipe, and reboot in safe mode, nothing seems to work. However, I've found a workaround in the SoundAbout app, but do not like the application wasting space in my app drawer and changing settings from headphones to speaker is a pain. I am almost certain this is a software issue. Hopefully it gets fixed in the 5.0.2 update.

Xperia Z Sound Problems Since Lollipop

Hi, i've been with my Xperia Z since 2013. In that time my phone was working good until the 5.0 Android Version. After i updated to that version, began some problems with the sounds.
*Notifications, Volume Up, Calls - Working Good.
*Sounds like voice notes, music, videos or youtube sounds doesn't work. Even when people call me i have to speak through handsfree. It's only fine if i put the headphones. Record my voice or any sounds only works if i put the headphones.
So, that's the problem. I downgraded to 4.2.2 version and the sounds worked fine. I upgraded from 5.1.1 to 6 or 7 version and is the same with the difference that i'm able to record voices or sounds without headphones. But still can hear normal sounds without headphones.
What i can do. The problem is since 5.0 version. Why i didn't hear about this problem, there are not many people with my problem.
EDIT: I tried with a lots of ROMs and finally found out what was the last rom that the sounds was working good. Was the 4.3 10.4.B.0.569. Since the 10.4.1.B.0.101 sounds is working bad.

Well you're talking about it, i had the problem since the beginning with my Z, and a phone without earphones by incoming calls is useless, so I looked for another device for the daily use because i found no solution.

I found out that if you buy the jack audio flex replacement you fix it. I was looking for fixing by any update since that firmware but, i don't see anything.
