I can't seem to get the Z3C FM Radio to tune into any frequencies in the UK, just static. All headphones tested worked fine with Z1C.
Anyone else have any luck getting it to work?
Whilst scanning for stations brings up a load of false positives, I can definitely pick up stations such as the BBC ones including the local station, Heart, Classic, etc.
Tested with Etymotic HF5s, RHA MA750s and Sennheiser CX150s.
Strange, I can't get anything at all, no matter what I try it with. Tried factory reset, repair via PC Companion, still just static. I'm guessing I have a faulty unit.
Works fine here too
Works fine in the US
The FM radio works for me, but only while it is in the foreground or while the notification window is pulled down. It doesn't work in the background for me.

It works for me in the foreground or background, when in the background there's a notification icon and some controls there.

I have the same problem... I've contacted the support line from Sony and am waiting for a response. Does the same

Hi - I am replying a bit late because I just came across this thread while trying to troubleshoot a problem I experienced with the FM Radio this evening, which until now has been functioning perfectly.
This may not be your problem, but I'm going to describe it and a work-around for it, in case others may find this thread later when searching for problems with the Z3/Z3 Compact FM Radio. I hope it helps you, as well.
The problem is apparently due to an unfortunate conflict between the FM Radio app and the Google Now voice-activated search settings ("Ok Google").
The main symptom of the problem is that the FM Radio will not play audio through either the headphones or the speakers. This may be misdiagnosed as a broken radio, or failure to tune any stations, but in reality the radio itself is functioning and stations are being tuned. There is just no sound coming from the speakers or headphones (regardless of the setting of the Headphone/Speaker switch within the FM Radio app).
I discovered the explanation for this problem at the following thread, which deals with the Sony Z2 model, and is claimed, on the thread, to only happen when the Google Experience Launcher (GEL) is used in lieu of Sony's stock launcher. Unfortunately, on my Z3 Compact, the problem is occurring despite the fact that I'm using the stock Sony launcher.
Here is a link to the thread:
http://www.thedroidbot.com/sony-xperia-z2-fm-radio-issue-google-now-launcher-fixed/
Basically, the problem is a conflict between the Google Now service's "Ok Google" voice detection and the FM Radio app. Disabling the service's voice-activation (being able to say "OK Google" to invoke the service in listening mode for verbally stating a query) will restore the FM Radio app's ability to play sound correctly.
To test if this is your problem, try the following steps (the FM Radio app should *not* be active while you do this - use the "Close All" item on the task switcher to make sure the app is not active if you have had it running):
1) Invoke the "Search & Now" settings for Google Services using one of these two methods:
a) Slide up and right from the "Home" icon on the device's bottom center to invoke the Google Now search screen, scroll to the bottom, and tap the "..." menu, and select "Settings"
-or-
b) Run the "Google Settings" app from the installed apps menu screens (or a shortcut, if you have placed one somewhere), and tap the "Search & Now" item
2) Select the "Voice" item
3) Tap the '"Ok Google" Detection' item
4) Uncheck any checked items on this screen ("From Google Search app", "From any screen", "From lock screen")
5) Tap the "<" back symbol at the upper left of this screen
6) Slide the "Audio History" switch to the Off position
7) Tap the "<" back symbol at the upper left of this screen
8) Tap the "<" back symbol at the upper left one last time to exit the settings app
9) Test the "FM Radio" app to see if it is now functional - if so, you must either choose between being able to use the FM Radio app or having the ability to invoke the Google Now service by using the "Ok Google" voice phrase (or you must memorize this sequence of steps and repeat them each time you wish to use the FM Radio app, and then re-enable them when you are done with the app).
NOTE: Disabling the voice activation feature of the Google Now service does *not* mean you are giving up the ability to do voice queries within the Google Now service. To do voice queries will simply require you to press the small microphone icon within the service or on the Google Search widget on your device's home screen to activate and place the service into listening mode.

That wasn't the problem in my case, as I could clearly hear radio static just no channels could tune, and also tried it with voice activation off since I'd heard of this conflict too. I returned it and my new one works just fine. Other users may find your detailed description of the other problem useful though, so thanks for posting.

I'd like to thank you for the info. This was exactly the problem with my device. Switching off Google Now fixed it! Now some big fixing updates would be great!

Glad it helped. As far as fixes go, I'm not optimistic since the problem has been around since the Z2 (and I suspect longer), but we'll probably find out sometime early next year when Lollipop is likely to drop for our devices.
Wish there was a good way to get reports like this to the right folks at Sony. There is also a very annoying conflict with this same Google Now feature and the Sony Camera app.

Perfect workaround. Noticed that my radio didn't work. If I selected TrackID I got 3 or 4 seconds of radio then silence again.
THANK YOU!!!! Worked for me!!! Xperia Z Ultra

First of all, I like this phone very much it is a beautiful and powerful phone I ever own. And I create this post to share out the issues/possibly bugs and I hope someone from Huawei will see this and take improvement actions.The reason is simply is when you chat to the customer support, always ended up with political answer (at least for me).
Here are what I think need improvements/fixes:
1. My P20 Pro have the bluetooth always on and connected to my Polar M430 sports watch. Today I found that the phone Bluetooth was switched off without my notice. When I try to switch on back the Bluetooth, the phone just freeze (screen black up) and ended up I have to long press the power button to hard restart the phone!
2. Where is the setting for user to choose the build in sms messenger notification tone? Why one system notification tone for all?
3. Dim WhatsApp notification sound. Not sure why but the WhatsApp notification just dimmer than my old mate 8.
4. Mobile game compatibility, some of the game I used to play on mate 8, now do not work properly in P20 Pro. What a lame a flagship not supported by game developer?
5. Touch vibration intensity setting, where is it?
6. Bluetooth headset control not fully work with 3rd party music player eg. Huawei AM61 on PowerAmp. Not sure this is Huawei issue or the apps issue.
7. SwiftKey keyboard landscape mode oddly display, check the Screenshot attached.
8. Where is the pocket mode where the Ringtone notification tone can be set louder.
9. You may continue highlight if any
Garmin losing connectivity
I have had my P20 Pro for two days and noticed that similarly to you, my Garmin which had an excellent always on connection to my Xperia Z5 premium, is often disconnected unless I force it to sync.
For the Bluetooth problems you have to set the app auto start settings of the Polar / Garmin app to manuell and give full permissions. Otherwise the phone will recognize the battery drain in the background and kill the app.
I use a Garmin vivoactive 3 and after I changed this all is fine. You will get an notification about heavy battery drain at some point, but just ignore it.

did you manage to find a fix for this issue ?? so frustrating , i tried to pinpoint the source of this issue with no luck i just happens randomly
Mine doesnt play well with facebook messenger. Something so basic. As for boomerang, it doesnt save the vid taken. At some point, there was no audio on vids that i sent thru msgr but got fixed after i reset my phone. I hope huawei really does notice these problems. I've never had to go thru such problems with my samsung phones before.

Some of these things are specific features to other phones. Phone ringing louder in a pocket for example, is usually HTC phones or maybe Samsung, Vibration Intensity usually Samsung, although it never allows you to go higher as Samsungs are already set to highest setting.
Notifications are per app, so the default tone is only for apps where you cannot set a tone.
So for messaging apps, or gmail, you change those tones inside the apps, or under apps in the main settings. Much like iphone, the settings are for each app.
I would switch to gboard, it's much better than swiftkey.

same issue for me with fb messenger.. im unable to send a selfie cause the send button is nowhere to be shown.
I'm finding problems with Mobdro. When initially installed it worked. Second and subsequent attempts it just force closes.
Google Home won't open shopping list in Chrome browser.
Seems like permission issues but I've looked through everything obvious. Any one else?
Without a doubt, one of the best phones i have ever had. Still... some basic problems. Facebook messenger is not working correctly, wont let me send picture with my front camera. i take the picture and it doesnt show the send button at all. When i take with rear camera, it allows me to send them. very frustrating. also, there is no seperate sound control for ringtone and notifications. to turn the volume for notifications down, i also have to turn down the ringtone volume... really basic stuff!! come on. any solutions?

Hi,
I had the same problem on a Y6 Pro Huawei device. After 3 or 4 times I used the application it is not working anymore, since it closes
immediatly after lunching.
Did you solved your problem?
App issues possible fix
Hello all,
One thing that I have noticed with some apps that may be causing some wired issues is the full screen display mode.
What I would suggest to try is if you have enabled the full screen mode for an app you are having issues with, try disabling it. This can be done by going to settings>display>full screen display>"name of problem app" and simply turn the toggle off if it's enabled.
It may or may not help but have a go and see.

By any chance have you used the 'optimisation' tool or the battery tool? I did and battery was going very bad.
Yesterday I did a factory reset and never touched those tools again and for the moment everything is going very well.
I remember that brightness was constantly changing (even on manual) on my p9 after having used those options.

I can't get mobile data to work on my p20 pro. Everything else works. I have AT&T.
Would have been good if the P20 Pro handled date/time file attributes correctly rather than just stamping all over the created/modified/acessed data with the date and time of the copy like many other Android devices.
Only the Nexus and OnePlus ranges have sorted this out as far as I know. It seems such a basic fault not to have been fixed in a flagship device.
Hi,
at the moment i have multiple problems with Android Auto.
Long time ago it worked at my phone without problems.
I can't tell since when exactly the problems appeared.
I'm using a Xiaomi Redmi 4x with Android 7.1.2
Headunit is a Kenwood 9716BTS
Problems:
- AA is not able to start Spotify.
when i plug in the phone to the car AA is starting normally.
when i then go tu music it says, that there is a problem with Spotify.
when i start Spotify manually before pluging in the phone to the headunit it is working.
- no WhatsApp messages are appearing.
i get no info when i get a message, but i can send a message without a problem-
- Google Assistence Voice
when i ask with "OK Google" it doesn't come any sound.
it looks like it is maleing something, cause it takes a few seconds till the icon, while saying, disappears.
just like it is saying something, but i get no sound.
while navigating or writing WhatsApp messages the sound is working normally...
Do anyone have any of these problem or know how to fix it?
I tried uninstalling AA and installing it new, but no difference.
Frank
Frank, I might know what the issue is if it is running MIUI on your Xiaomi. Go into 'settings' and then 'manage apps' and look for the programs Android Auto uses and open it in that setting.
For example your Spotify -> check that 'autostart' is switched on as it is switched off by default. There should also be a 'Battery saver' setting, change that to 'no restrictions' as it might stop the application. If you use Waze etc then do the same for those applications.
And please there are so many takers and runaway people on boards here. Let us know if it works or not, you help other people by sharing.
thanks for the tip.
Autostart for Spotify was deactivated. Maybe thats why AA was not able to start Spotify.
I will try it after work.
Energysetting were already deactivated for Spotify and AA.
Now there is just the problem with Google Assistant, where i don't get a sound with AA.
On my phone the Assistant works fine, just with AA i get no sound.
I have something in my mind, that it has something to do with some codec settings, cause long time ago i read about the problem... but i don't find this anymore while searching for the problem

i have changed now the mm.enable.qcom_parser in the build.prop
hope it works, when i try it at evening
Cool, feedback very well appreciated... and I guess this goes for everyone!
Miui and permissions might also be an issue. I change roms on a weekly base (don't ask why ... thx xda) and I have yet to find the procedure so it works every time. Most of the times I already set the permissions before I start up AA. Same thing with Whatsapp, sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't. Sometimes it helps to uninstall Text to speech in the Google Play store and reinstall it.
The only thing you MUST do is test these things when you are standing still and not while driving!
Spotify start problem is solved withe the Autostart option.
It must have been changed with some MIUI Update...
WhatsApp Notification and Google Assistant sound problem is still there....
I'm trying to google again to find anything about it

But the '- no WhatsApp messages are appearing.
i get no info when i get a message, but i can send a message without a problem-'
So you don't see a popup? Does it show as a message on the main AA screen?
Can you maybe make a small video of it. (you can pm me if you don't want to distribute)
i don't get a popop and also i don't get an info on the main screen
After changing mm.enable.qcom_parser to 245389 Google Assistence is finally speaking to me again
I think after next Miui update i have to change it again.

Weird, I run the latest versions of Xiaomi.eu on my Poco F1 and that seems to work perfectly. Might be worth posting a bug report on the official Xiaomi website, but don't get your hopes up high.
Device: Redmi Note 10 5G
Firmware: MIUI Global v12.5.3(RKSMIXM)
After the update to the latest firmware, I'm noticing that a lot of my notifications aren't playing sound when they should be. They all have sound enabled in their respective app settings, and the issue seems to only happen some of the time. I've found that I can get them working semi-consistently if I go into the app settings, tap the sound (which is already set correctly), choose "Pre-Installed Ringtones" in the Themes app, and then hit Apply next to the sound file I want to use. Notifications received after doing this seem to work correctly (i.e. play sound) for a while, but then they stop a short time later.
I'm guessing it has something to do with the MIUI Themes app itself, as one app on my phone, Signal, doesn't bring up the Themes app when I go to select the notification sound, instead bringing up a ringtone picker app I found on the play store. Honestly, I hate the Themes app's layout anyway, and wish I could use the other app to choose all notification sounds, but that doesn't seem to be an option.
If anyone else has experienced this issue and/or has any suggestions to fix, I'd appreciate it.
i dont have this bug. try reinstall via software update the full firmware, by the function "download latest package". it's safe, no data loss, and this procedure (that i made mee to) speed up the system

I tried this, unfortunately no change. Multiple notifications still come up with just vibration, despite the sound being enabled and selected. If I go back through and re-select the sound, it works for a while, but will randomly stop a short while later
other sounds works?
wetito said:

Yes, all other sounds seem to work. Ringtones for calls, alarms, media sounds seem to have no issues.
I'll give a specific example: I set the notification sound for Google Voice messages yesterday afternoon. It seemed to work for the rest of the day. Today, I see the notification pop up, but never heard the sound. It's very annoying, so unlikely that I missed it. I checked the settings without changing them, everything is still set correctly.
My suspicion at this point, after having done a bunch of research on how the ringtone picker intent is handled, is that the MIUI settings customization is somehow failing. I believe the notification sounds are stored in the Android settings package, but MIUI has taken over those parts, and somehow that is failing, but I'm not able to dig deeper since MIUI seems to be closed source. Granted, I'm not a dev, and know just enough Java to muddle my way through interpreting and understanding code, so my guess could be totally off.
have you tried remove miui battery optimization from the app that have this problem? and set remove all limitation? sometimes cause notifications issues. also try disable mi notifications app, use only android notification

I removed battery opti.ization from all those apps awhile ago.
As for the Mi notifications app, are you referring to this?
the hest thing u can do is a new clean installation but first u can try change some setttings. but i'm not sure, it's only an ideai. example: open WhatsApp info, and in battery option set remove all limitations instead off miui optimizations. if the priblem don't go away, i think that an update caused this bug so downgrade your firmware to the latest bugless is the better solution. but first u can try modify some setting... or remove the update from sone syatem app if it's possible your bug is particular
I faced the same problem. I use tasker and have one profile that changes the ringtone when connected to office WIFI
it works but then it sort of stops all notification sounds.
Earlier I thought this is some phone setting issue but when i disabled the profile from tasker my notifications are intact.
Probably something to do with theme app.
I have had Oppo Find X5 Pro PFEM10 for over three months and observed some issues. Some might consider minor but very annoying and I feel if I cannot find a solution this phone will go to garbage. My current carrier is T-Mobile.
The first issue, the built in clock application widget which has also weather integration, most of the time shows incorrect location. For example: I am in Florida, and it shows weather in Atlanta. Dual clock widget while I am in Florida, shows current location somewhere else. I tried to remove location, set it again but the issue repeats. The other applications that are not default shows accurate location.
The second issue is related to location and camera. I take pictures and it shows inaccurate location here as well. It is very annoying.
The third issue is related to the WhatsApp application. When you on the mobile data, you can receive messages but you cannot make or accept callsl, it shows as Connecting ... but it doesn't go through.
There are other issues with this phone like Google Pay doesn't work and apps that depend on it. Nike App payment doesn't work. etc. less annoying but honestly what is wrong with the manufacturer? Why this phone such a piece of "art"?
Anyway I wanted to pick the greatest brains of this holly place and see if the issues I mentioned can be solved to save this creation of one kind from becoming the trash.

I am glad you have a Global ROM and the issues you had are resolved now. Unfortunately, it is not relevant to the nature of my question. Feel free to start a new thread where you can share your experience with Oppo Find X5 Global ROM

So you have the same issues, right?
As for the sound, I have the same problem. If I am not mistaken I had to reset the custom notification settings for the app, and then let it run in the background. And now I have notifications. The problem with this firmware, you need to enable permissions/notifications/settings in multiple places, and some of them are not intuitive.

Exactly. Its working fine for me now, after i setup permissions and set a notification tone from system settings
How are the notifications working on this Oppo Find X5 pro version? Are they fine or delayed?
All fine with the notifications.
