users who have ROOT and problem with touchscreen, try test this fix whether it works or not.
go to system\usr\idc, delete clearpad_pen.idc
in clearpad.idc, delete all the code on # Touch Filter
save and reboot.
This method fixed the problem in your phone?
somehow it reduce it.
Then is not a completely fix. Did you tried the .136 FW?

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?

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.

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.

Did you wipe data/cache before upgrading?
It's a bug from Sony, since there are many including myself, suffering from it. It made me downgrade to 4.3 since camera is a big deal on this phone.

LB = locked bootloader
UB = unlocked bootloader
I also used @Nut's .757, my bootloader is locked and have never suffered from any camera issues.
Unfortunately my only suggestions would be to wipe cache..

I have noticed a trend with UB and camera issues. are you using a custom kernel? If not, i would consider relocking your bootloader or flashing your back up if you made one before you unlocked. Once thats done and you confirm camera working on .534.. follow this quide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=52407809&postcount=2 this page is by @gregbradley

Go back to 534 using flashtool, then re-root your phone, then install a custom recovery, then install a custom rom, don't boot, boot to flashmode and flash the global or region specific FTF for your phone not the stripped version, obviously taking care not to include TA and System in the flash, also don't perform a wipe from within flashtool on the second flash.
Done
Obviously do this only when all else has failed, should only take around 20 minutes max

No I dont think so, I'm pretty sure you can relock your bootloader. There should be a guide in the develpment section.

I had this issue with .681 using nut method aswell.
Followed all directions and wiped prior to flash in recovery. All was fine but.camera was pitch black and fuzzy it would take a picture with flash but only crap.
All I had to do was
back up using titanium
Enter recovery and factory reset
Wipe dalvic cache
Reboot
Reinstall vital data only from titanium
Do not restore any camera app or data
Working perfectly.
Hope this helps and is untested on .757

Hello guys.. just want to know the possible reason why my note3 sensors no longer working.. i do not even know when it starts.. i remember that i upgraded from jb to kitkat and after a weeks i noticed the problem.. is it because of the upgrade..?

Do you have XPrivacy installed and are blocking the sensors? If not I guess if they are failing the test you could flash NC2 over and that might get them working.

Sounds like hardware is the next place to check. Feel comfortable taking your phone apart?

Good luck!

I know you said you reflashed stock, but you might want to try reflashing with the PIT file as well. That will repartition your phone and is probably the most you can do software-wise at this point...if you still have problems you may be better off sending it in for repair unless you're comfortable taking your phone apart yourself.
Download the 4 Odin files in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2703006 (ignore the home file) and the PIT file. In this case you do want repartition checked in Odin...it will check it automatically when you load the PIT file just make sure to leave it checked.
This will wipe everything so backup what you want to save first.
Hope this works for you bro and it's not a hardware issue

The new Video Update is kind of buggy atm, you can always downgrade by downloading the APK online and assuming you guys have Root access you can push it to system/priv-app/ and give rw-r-r permissions. Or you could uninstall the update in Settings>Apps therefore restoring the App to its factory version
New update doesn't change anything but name so downgrading won't hurt unless you prefer the name "Video" instead of "Movies"
I have the exact same problem gifs on relay for reddit also stop playing, a reboot fixes it temporarily but it always comes back, would love to know a permenant solution. Latest rooted stock.

As far as is know the problem started with the stock kernel. I then flashed this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3-compact/development/d5803-23-2-1-62-slim-t3127115 and the Advanced kernel. Anyway, i will flash the stock kernel just to be sure. If that doesn't change anything can i try to restore it with Sony Companion and start over?

I figured that much.. It's a weird problem. It got me thinking it maybe hardware related. I will try the kernel end the restore and if it doesn't work i just have to live with it. Thank you very much for the help.
Sorry to revive this older thread, but did you find a solution to the issue? I am experiencing the very same problem on my Z2 phone with stock ROM + unlocked bootloader and root. I was suspecting a HW issue (maybe combined with unlocked BL), but there were few other users with same issue. I am going to place an order for Z3 compact and would hate to face the annoying "camera not available" or "video can't be played" messages again.
