When you say vibration, do you refer to vibration as haptic feedback or the one when you receive a phone call? Have you checked the setting?
You also might want to check if it's hardware or software related. Go to hidden menu (3845#*880#), ELT test, choose Manual mode, and choose Vibrator. If it vibrates, you can rest assured it's software related. Reflashing your phone might just fix it.

Well, if it's hardware related stuff, there's nothing much we can do. I think what you're doing is the best possible thing to do right now. Good luck. Hope your device will be just fine

So a couple of days ago, I noticed that my car wasn't reading my phone anymore via bluetooth. I thought it may be a car issue so I checked with my girlfriend's HTC one and its working perfectly. Flashed the os through the Sony pc companion repair option, the ftf that I had made as well as factory reset but nothing seems to fix the Bluetooth. It works sporadically.
I also noticed that my sound system was also not detecting on my phone. So I took it to the Sony service place. They reflashed the os and tested it and it was working. I came home and paired it with my sound dock (which is a sony) and it worked for about half a song after which it stopped working. This is frustrating. Is this a hardware or software issue?

Same problem too.
All bluetooth devices can't connect to my Xperia zr, even search it.
This occured after I update my ZR to 4.22. At first it might be software problem, I thought, so I flashed back to 4.12.
But still the same...
Suddenly, after half an our, my SBH20 can connect to my phone, I was so happy that the problem finally solved.
So I start to reinstall my favorite games from googleplay... Than, the bluetooth die again.
Maybe is both software and hardware problem?
Doesn't sound good at all. I will test mine and check.

I'm happy with that the Xperia A finally works well with my Jawbone Era, my GNexus keeps stop pass calls/sounds to my Era.
I'm fine in stock ROM 4.1.2
Unfortunately I'm facing the same issues here.
I searched around and the "Bluetooth Problem" affects other phones as well with similar symptoms, so it's most likely the software that's giving problems. There were varying success with setting the visibility to never timeout. I tried that and it worked for a short while, sadly now Bluetooth is MIA again...
The problem with this problem is that it's hard to nail down the root cause or reproduce consistently, so workable solutions are hard to find. There's an app on the Play store that claims to fix Bluetooth problems but it requires rooting, so I couldn't try it out.
Hmms looks like updating to 4.2.2 doesn't solve the problem for some of you... less rush for me to upgrade then.
Yeah, I also tried one factory reset on the phone, putting it in/out of flight mode, turning the phone on/off, and even toggling Bluetooth quickly trying to "jump-start" the underlying processes. The only change I noticed was when I was attempting the last option, I could briefly see the phone trying to disconnect from my car's Bluetooth, so it looked like something might have worked. For now, I'm just trying to live with the inconvenience every weekend when I drive.
I just find that my wifi will be disconnected by power saving mode and it won't back to work when I switch power saving mode off. Unless I have to disable all power saving mode and reboot. Would you please give it a try to switch power saving off and reboot the phone see if there's any help to the Bluetooth issue. I do only switch on power saving at night before sleep and give it a reboot every time the wifi don't work. That might be why I'm not experiencing Bluetooth issue in daytime. Could anyone can try and send some feedback please.

Nope. No solution here. Will just have to go visit the service center again on Saturday. Need to find a phone with a micro sim to use while Sony tries to fix this problem. I doubt it is software related. Probably a hardware issue.

The app didn't fix anything. Which is why I think it's a hardware problem. If it was software related, it would have come up earlier given that I used the phone for 3 months with no issues.

That's too bad...
I sent my ZR to service center yesterday,and they called me a few minutes ago.
The engineer said that" Your phone is fine here and I return it back to the center, did you forget to turn on your bluetooth setting?"
Umm...what the...
I believe that he didn't do anything about "testing".
Maybe tomorrow I'll go to service center and check, hope it do recovered...

Keep us posted...
I'm wondering ...
Is that SD card module or SIM card module caused this problem?
When I test my phone in service center, bluetooth was great, but after 5 minutes I set my SIM card and SD card in and reboot,it died again.
I guess the clue is between OS reflashed and SD card/SIM card, or even battery?

Just got a replacement handset. So far it seems to be working. I've asked the service center to let me know as to what went wrong with my phone for the Bluetooth to stop working, given that after a reflash, it would work for about half an hour before conking off

I got my phone back yesterday, and it works perfectly so far.
They have no idea about how engineer fixed it, but it seems that they decomposed it and did something.
Because my warranty sticker was gone and the cover inside the battery slot is a little bit raised.
My phone is good right now, thanks guys!
yea but over at my side... Sony Singapore doesnt even wanna repair or have anything to do with phones that they didnt sell... (Yes ZR isnt sold here so I've got an export set)
so if theres any news, i'll be glad: D
Does there anyone try to check up your BT MAC address? I've met a strange thing on my GNexus. That phone from NTT too but not officially unlock network lock. the seller just flash some half done unlock tweak to it, then I found there are many NTT GNexus user have the same BT MAC as my phone does. and that cause us can't use BT trans file between GNexus and BT headset will drop link if there are two GNexus near by.
I've manually change the BT MAC to a new MAC (my old & not use BT headset's MAC) to get it fixed. If there is no clue to fix your BT issue, maybe you can try to learn how to edit your BT MAC on android.
BTW: does any of you who met the BT issue uses Xperia A SO-04E from NTT(the phone with 32GB build-in rom)? or all are 8GB international edition?
My xperia x8 is driving me insane. Everytime my mobile's screen turns off/times out, after 2-3 seconds it restarts. I have flashed it's stock firmware i found on the web because i was dealing with the same issue before with the difference that before the flash, it wouldn't occur only on screen timeout, but it could happen anytime, usualy exactly after the boot. I also bought a new battery just to be sure because the previous one was a little puffed but that didn't help. Please help me fix my mobile please
Have you tried a different variation of the same stock firmware? If not I would give it a go. Idk what you have done, but a factory reset through flashtool should set things straight.

Remove your battery, check the little patch behind it for water damage. That is all I can think of. Because flashing those .ftfs is literally wiping your device as clean as it will go. So it sounds like something wrong more on the hardware side of things. Because if you have an issue in one ROM, if it is software related, it should not transcend into the other.

i had bought a new battery because the old one was a little buffed. the upside was that it kept going until the screen timeout, when with the old battery it would restart instantly after the sony ericsson screen. Could it be kernel issue or something like that? The device was my brother's who took care of it alot. he never droped it or anything. My last guess is that he charged it with a different charger not optimal for the device, that's why the buffed battery and the hardware issue! sounds plausible?
i just asked him and he told me he actually did, multiple times. Does this senario stand?

I think it may be probably a kernel problem....try using SEUS or Sony PC companion and flash latest firmware in your phone..i think it will work..:good:

It won't be a kernel issue if you have fully flashed stock .ftfs. But booting to the first Sony Erricson boot screen would usually indicate a kernel issue or problem with the chargemon.

pc companion was the first thing i tried, before buying a new battery.didn't make a difference. as i told before, is it plausible that the charging with a non sony ericsson charger caused the problem? i tried 3 stock roms, i don't think its a sw problem anymore. i am thinking of taking it to sony's tecs to give it a look but i don't want them to play smartasses on me so tracking the problem as much as possible would be a good start.

Yeah fair enough. I'm sorry but that is my sugestions exhausted I'm afraid. Buy yes, sounds more along the lines of a hardware issue.
I just updated to lollipop a few days ago, wasn't having any issues and then all of a sudden my front facing ('selfie') camera stopped working.
The button simply wasn't there for a while and the stock camera app or third party apps won't work (Google camera, instagram, etc.). After rebooting into safe mode I got the camera switch button back but the screen is just black when I switch to the front camera, and I'll get an error after a while / it'll freeze.
I recently did a PC companion repair and it still won't work. I've also deleted camera data and cache, reset, at least 3-4 times and nada.
Could someone help? I was going to factory reset it but if the repair didn't do anything I thought I'd ask here first so I don't have to set everything up again. I asked on sony support forums and they weren't helpful...surprise surprise. I think this is a lollipop glitch, I've heard of similar issues with the Nexus 5 / 6.

Anyone else have this issue?
No one else has had this issue?
I don't want to send the phone back if it's a known Lollipop bug...

Hi. So the other day out of the blue the speakers started doing what I've posted in the 2 videos attached.
It's very bizarre. At first I thought it might have been a software issue. I was running latest weekly mmx ROM at the time.
Since then I have done a clean flash of aosp ROM ricedroid. Issue is still there. So this suggests it's a hardware fault of sort.
I'm still a bit baffled with how's it come along as I've never dropped the phone nor has it ever gotten wet. Always been in a armour case from day 1. I've never messed with sound mods at all.
I did try installing viper4android after to see if it fixed it and nothing.
Anyone know what this may be? I really like the phone but I don't think it has any warranty left on it. Had it since the release of the mi 11.
Another weird thing is if I reboot the phone sometimes that solves it and speakers work fine. Then issue starts again at some point. Also if I open recents or start closing apps it then sorts itself out. Very weird. Anyway I hope someone on the forum can guide me to try and sort this or even find out what it is.
Thanks

Hello,
I have the same problem with Xiaomi Mi 11, I have installed Stable ROM with clean install.
On the other hand, I have changed the upper and lower speaker, the charging flex and the LCD and also the charging plate, which is where the lower speaker is mounted, the problem persists.
Has anyone been able to fix this error somehow?
