[Q] bluetooth transfer not working at all!! Please help?!

Hi Guys,
I have a Sensation XL with the following specs:
Android Version: 4.0.3
HTC Sense Version: 3.6
Software Number: 2.31.401.2
Kernel Version: 3.0.16-gc297c99
I can't send or receive any files via bluetooth. When i try to send anything it says sending file but then nothing happens. I've made sure my device is always discoverable and still cant receive anything even from paired devices. Whenever i try to receive a file it just says sending failed on the phone i'm trying to send from. have tried to send and receive from various phones and pc's but nothing. All out of ideas now!!
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanx.

Try installing a new Rom, if you can be discovered or discover other devices it must be a software error!

Thanks for the reply ricky.
It was working fine till about sept last year, which is the last date of an item received in my bluetooth exchange folder, then i dunno what happened to make it go funny.
Considering i am from the land of noobs, how does one go about installing a new rom? I wouldn't want to screw up and have a dodgy bluetooth be the least of my worries!

Is your phone firmware stock? Or is it a custom firmware?

It's firmware stock...i haven't ever installed any custom roms on it...
I dunno if there is an app i've installed which might be causing this problem?

If its stock firmware I doubt an app would be able to do as it does not have root access, but then again I don't think it could be a hardware error, have you rooted/ unlocked bootloader?

Have you tried factory reset?

download an adb set, open commant prompt, navigate to the folder where adb is then execute 'ädb logcat' and copy and then on your phone try to transfer something via bluetooth, that will DEFINATELY find the problem!

If you have warranty i suggest you get it to warranty, does your BT activate?
If your BT activates, can you discover or be discovered?
If yes to all the above, what was the last thing you did before this happens?

Factory reset not doing proper factory reset

I did factory reset, my phone wifi wont work, everything is all wonky, its like the factory reset didnt complete itself, done it 5-6 times, still everything all wonky. I cant get into CMW.
What are my options? Sony Companion doesnt do factory reset because it just stops working after the phone resets when trying to do it. Hmmm not sure what options I got.
Before I had this problem I flashed a stock ROM with CMW. It was stock 4.3 and when it finished it was still 4.2.2.
Do I use a flashtool to put reset to factory if so which tool do i use? I can boot into the phone fine but wifi dont work and everything crashes, and factory reset ends up with same problems still.

I think you have to flash the FTF again and Wipe Everything with Flashtool v0.9.13, fresh installation. It's compromise to much your phone right now.

The latest 4.3 FTF is .290. This is a link to the FTF's http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2469191 but they are stock so i don't know what exactly are you looking for?
I mean if you want root and all this stuff, out there still custom roms for Locked Bootladers..

How you can't if your phone can boot? Switch off the phone, when the phone is off keep pressing volume down and connect the phone to PC via USB, let windows install the drivers, keep pressing volume down all the time. Did you do that?

Amazing, thank you for your help, you saved my phone. Im on 4.3 now! I was on 4.2.2 with Rogers but now Im good!
Thank you so much all is great now! :victory:
Just a quick question: Isnt the noficiation bar and touch buttons bar supposed to be clear and transparent in 4.3 or is that supposed to be in 4.4? Oh and the on screen buttons supposed to be customizable no?
Im digging the themes very cool

Sorry but on 4.3 they are not. To do so you have to get root and mods the bars. Good to know your phone is fine.

[Q] After 4.3 Update new click sounds?

Hi everybody,
just updated to Android 4.3 on my Z1 and realised that the Sony click sounds seems to have changed?
Has anyone experienced the same problem?
I really liked the "Sony" click sound any idea how to get it back?
Thanks in advance for your replies

Yes, the click on 4.3 is different and many do not like it. The only one way to get that click back is to root your phone and replace with the old one from 4.2. The problem is you did not saved the wave file from 4.2 so somebody should post it for you and then you should replace it on your phone or you downgrade, root your phone, backup all what you need and update again. Anyway if you want root your .290 the only way is to downgrade with NUT method so you will do 2 things in 1.

[Q] bluetooth phonebook sync problem

Hi all,
i got a problem with my bluetooth phonebook sync. My phone connects via blutooth to the car, but the phone book does not sync. The request for the transfer of the phone book does not appear at all.
I have this Problem with following ROMs:
Sony Stock 4.3 (14.2.A.0.290)
IHackers 2.1 (JellyBean 4.3)
SlimKat 4.4
However, no problems with these ROMs,
Sony Stock 4.2.2 (14.1.G.2.257)
FreeXperia CM11 (fxp / kali)
What can cause this and how can I solve this problem for the other roms?
Thank you
Sony xperia Z1 C6903
Opel UHP car kit

You can flash the "Baseband" only from 14.1.G.2.257 on 14.2.A.0.290 or Update to .136. If .136 will not solve this problem then flash Baseband here too from .257.

I have the same problems with 290 and 136.. Does this mean that I can flash the 136 generic BALL ftf and then just flash the baseband from 257? It won't screw the phone up will it?
Regards,
Alan

I can't guarantee that but this was confirmed by users who did that to improve the signals on they phone. They flashed baseband from 4.2.2 FW .257 on 4.3 FW .290 and it worked. Flashing anything its a risk so be careful, BTW, if this will not work you can flash the baseband from 4.3 FW .136 back, in the same way. If I am not wrong, if so someone correct me please, the baseband contain all package of frequency for the phone to work properly.

Hi eclyptos,
Thank you for your reply.. So, does the baseband contain all of the wireless stuff like wifi, bluetooth etc?
To get the sequence right I -
1) Completely flash .136 - reboot to check if ok
2) Flash the baseband ONLY from .257 - reboot to check if ok
If, the phone were to get stuck in say, a bootloop is there any way to completely power it off and then reflash?

Alan

Are you saying that after flashing baseband from .257 on .136 you still have problems? Try downgrade the entire system and check if the problem persist. Sometime is not the phone but the other devices so really we can try looking forever.

Look in the op. I have tried several Firmwares and Roms.
If i downgrade to. 257 It works perfect!
The other Device is not the problem.
Thx

Is not that easy. Bluetooth is not an application which you can download or install. It's implemented in the system and baseband. The main reason for bad quality like WiFi, Mobile Signal or Bluetooth is the Radio which is the Baseband in Z1. On HTC for example to improve the reception for all of them I am able to flash just the Radio.

I losing ideas, I don't want to say but at last it may be a hardware issue but not sure. I don't know if you want to do this but you should go back to Stock and Flash a Stock FTF to check if the problem persist even there, is it does it's the phone.
