Hello everyone,
I've been reading the forum for this phone thoroughly and yet, I was not able to find an answer that would help me.
I have the 4X HD since a couple of months already, and while the performance is not as good as I expected, it satisfies most of my daily activities, until now.
I bought a Steelseries FREE gamepad to play and forget the annoying touch controls on most of my games, but to my surprise, the bluetooth simply doesnt work with the gamepad, it pairs with the device, but oddly, it cannot connect to it.
I tested the pad with another android devices and it works like a charm, the latest one was a LG L7 with ICS V10a and I was able to use the gamepad without problems.
My 4X has, or better said, had (im rolling back to ICS) JB V20a europe open firmware, and it is extremely frustrating that I have to go back to ICS, especially because I was enjoying the features of JB a lot.
Is there a way for me to keep JB and make the bluetooth work?
I tried flashing the phone to different versions of JB, even one from taiwan V20b, and still had the same problem.
Now, I'm not a power user, I dont understand 90% of the terminology used here, or where to find the tools, or how to use them, I downloaded the tool "All-in-one" and I had no clue what to do with it, googled some of the terms but it didnt really helped.
If someone can lend me a hand here I would be very very grateful :good:
Im looking forward to improve the overall performance of the phone, since it doesnt perform very good on several games.
Thanks in advance

EDIT: ICS V10H europe open did not fix the problem, now im basically stuck and dont know what to do :/
EDIT 2: V10A doesnt work either, im considering changing my phone for a htc phone :/
Hello
Does anyone in here has both the xperia z and the fitbit flex , if yes then does your band gets synced to your phone without any trouble ? or does it get sync at all ?
I am opening a seperate thread for this as on their support website they say only samsung and iphone devices but they also do say that it supports BT4 .
since xperia z also does have BT4 i was wondering if it does sync at all.
any help will be appreciated .
thanks in advance.
I have a FitBit Flex. You can 'see' the Flex from the Xperia Z, but it can't pair nor sync. Hopefully 4.3 will bring us closer, but I think there would need to be an update to FitBit as well.
I've tested the pabx 4.3 AOSP build but this doesn't even 'see' the Flex, so I don't think that is a solution either.
I believe 4.3 brings the Bluetooth Low Energy code that FitBit use. Fingers crossed.

have you tried with JB 4.3 Google Play edition ROM? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2354328
I'm waiting form my FitbitFlex to be deliverd and I'm very sad that it doesn't sync with XZ
Hi All, I've updated yesterday my Xperia Z with the last official Android 4.3 ROM from Sony.
I still see the FitBit Flex... but still can't synchronize it, sadly. .
UPDATE: After looking at the FitBit Site, there is a "Beta" Version of the application, see at the end of this page: https://help.fitbit.com/customer/portal/articles/987861-android-device-compatibility"]https://help.fitbit.com/customer/portal/articles/987861-android-device-compatibility (sorry, I'm not allowed to post external link )
I've installed it and it seems that the application is now able to communicate with the Flex. I'll make more test tomorrow, outside of my home to be really sure .
I have a rooted Xperia Z running 4.3 with active Xposed Framework and the installled Flexbit sync module. The Flexbit can be seen and will sync in bluetooth settings, and on the latest app too. (Though you should turn off the auto sync in the Flexbit app setttings which is an awful battery drain, apparently). Without 4.3 PLUS root and theactivated Xposed Framework with the special Xposed module, sync wouldn't work as this "workaround" was required. I'm sure there is a thread on XDA for the module. NB even if rooted there is only one version of Xposed Framework that works with Xperia Z, 2.4.1. I believe. :
EDIT: this was the position before the beta app which I haven't tried, and which hopefully works with unrooted (normal stock) phones. See the post above.
I have the Flexbit Charge and since buying it have now found out that the android lollipop means the device won't connect via bluetooth no longer due to the update
Hello everyone!
My phone has been running Stock 4.3 since it went out. Fact is that I always used Screen Mirroring feature with no problems over that version, but yesterday I updated my Galaxy S3 i9305 to the latest firmware, 4.4.4. Now, don't know why my phone can't connect to my SmartTV as well as it always did.
Can anyone tell me any reason, please? My phone is running quite well, but not with that feature wich I use so often...
Thanks in advanced
Please!! No one's gonna help me? Pleeeeeaseee!!!
tried a factory reset? or did it when installing this update?
Of course! I installed this firmware for twice. First time the German version, and after that the official 4.4.4 for i9305. It never worked on none of them. My phone is working better than ever and flawlessly, but missed that feature... just now when I bought a Smart TV :'( why this is happening to me? :'(
Hi. Only you (and me) have "this" problem? When samsung rolls out 4.3, there was trouble too with miracast. Solved with a future 4.3 *patch* from samsung. I think we only have to wait for a 4.4.4 patch... ?
It may depend on your TV aswell.
I have a Sony KDL W905. And I am unable to use Screen mirroing with this phone on both 4.12 as well as the new 4.4.4 firmware.
For that matter I am also unable to use it from my Galaxy Note8 running 4.4. So I am starting to suspect the TV..
Oddly enough when using screen mirroring from the video app, it works fine.
Welll... i don't have tv with miracast or google chromecast. I have a Measy A2W. It works with 4.3, now with 4.4.4 don't...
Okay. yesterday reinstalled the stock ROM 4.4.4. Before had done a factory reset. The Miracast screen mirroring worked. but, after doing root, crashed. The problem is in the root. anyone have a solution? Thank you
I have the same problem. Are you sure it's in rooting?
S3 with auto-update to 4.4.4. : screen mirroring doesn't work any more!
Same problem here. I used screen mirroring frequently on my Samsung S3 with the previous standard Android OS, 4.3.
TV: Smart TV, SAMSUNG UE40H7005LED
I installed the scheduled Samsung update to 4.4.4. and screen mirroring doesn't work any more.
My wife has the same phone, did the same update, and it doesn't work on here phone either any more!
Both phones are standard, of the shelf phones, not rooted.
Something is wrong in this update!
Any solutions?

Hi there!
I've had mine a few days and had the same problem with Keep. I had to re-sync all apps on the watch to get it to work.
I've not tried a browser. Good luck!

Hi,
My phone is the D5803 z3c and after staying up late trying to understand rooting the phone I think I got it all together. However, I downloaded a bunch of images so honestly I don't even know what rom i'm running. It's a basic pre-rooted/debloated rom from the 1st page of the development section.
Anyway, I use a bluetooth headset at work. I am a limo driver and my rides are dispatched via text. My bluetooth headset works fine, except it will not play the notification sound for texts, only the ringtone when a phone call comes in. The media/phone box is checked. I can play youtube videos and sound comes through, but for some reason the notify doesn't work.
This is important to me, sometimes I leave my phone on the seat and can't hear it due to the music or whatever, but with my Nexus 5 I just came from, it worked right out of the box .
I've tried searching, and didn't come up with much. I also tried playing around with some apps, and I think for a little bit I used an app that seemed to do the trick, but now it doesn't work anymore.
ANY IDEAS???
Note: I have 2 bluetooth headsets, same thing on both. On my Nexus 5 both worked fine.

Okay, I just thought I had this problem... here the same, after the latest update to 5.1.1.
I'm try with 2 bluetooth headsets (Plantronics - Jabra) and a full factory reset but no notifications for text messages (sms, chat, whatsapp ect ect ect)
Italian Sony Xperia Z3C (Vodafone) Android 5.1.1 - 23.4.A.1.200
I found a thread on another forum of someone complaining about the same thing. He had a xperia z1. Supposedly Sony support emailed him and said xperias do not support this feature?? This doesn't seem like a complicated feature.
I should note my rom that I loaded is 5.1.1. qmaxmobile, did you have 4.4.4 on your phone and it worked? I'm willing to downgrade to 4.4.4 to get this feature to work, although I am happy with my 5.1.1 setup now.
I'm willing to pay a bounty if someone can create a mod so I can have this feature!

I'm confused. You have 5.0.2 and the notifications work? I have the latest Android 5.1.1 loaded and it doesn't work. I'm pretty sure I had 5.1.1 on my Nexus 5 and it worked fine.

Well I decided to flash a 4.4.4 ROM because the battery life is supposedly better (althought my 5.1.1 had great battery life, almost 7 hr SOT). However same thing, no notification through bluetooth.
qmaxmobile, what rom were you running on 5.0.2 to have notifications play through through bluetooth? I only found one 5.0.2 rom and I couldn't get it to boot, and seems like others in the thread had the same problem.
I really need bluetooth notifications. Seems like a simple app would do the trick, but haven't found much except a thread on a forum saying Xperia phones don't support it.
So I posted on the Sony Xperia forum, and a sony rep confirmed that Sony firmware does not support this feature (why????). I tried high and low to find an app in the play store to get it to work, but no dice.
Supposedly the rep also said that if you get a Sony bluetooth headset you can get the sony app to control that feature. I'm not so sure....
If anyone can confirm a sony bluetooth headset will in fact work with stock xperia firmware, please post!
The only option I was able to think of was to unlock the bootloader and flash a custom rom. I just did that and it worked. My DRM keys are backed up in case I decide to relock. So now I'm running Ressurrection Remix rom. It's a shame, as I didn't mind the Sony interface.
Well, I did unlock the bootloader and loaded a custom version of android. It worked. But I went back to the Sony firmware because battery life was better.
I picked up a Sony bluetooth MBH20 headset, and you guessed it, still doesn't work.
There HAS to be a way! $25 if you create a simple app that makes this work for me!

Well, I don't know about you, but notifications go out when using Bluetooth for me on the latest Sony stock room.
You may try the apps SoundAbout, or Mono Bluetooth Router, though.
That's so weird. No idea how it works for you. I found a few threads on other forums complaining about the same thing. I even posted on the Sony forum and support said I need a Sony app and a Sony headset because this "feature" isn't supported.
I did monkey with SoundAbout, no luck. There are so many options, and I didn't see a specific one for this feature.
