Z1 mic not working in phone calls - Loudspeaker default :(

Everything was going so well...
Rooted the latest version of 4.4.4, had all my customisations done, apps installed etc and running well for over a month.
Then the mic bug started up. Any call i got, went straight to loudspeaker! So annoying.
Uninstalling apps, tweeking sound settings, turning off smartconnect, uninstalling chrome, resetting to factory settings, restoring files, reseting to factory settings again. Nothing has worked. Device still has root access, so i am thinking that or 14.4.A.0.157 is the problem.
Can anyone help me out....
next and last on the list is to flash the earlier version of 4.4.4 for O2 Monthly.

No notification sound through bluetooth??

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.

Bluetooth Bug EMUI 4

Bluetooth is very bugy on my P9 emui 4... After disabling Bluetooth, it would not get colorless like the other disabled buttons but stay in a state between full blue (activated) and Grey (deactivated). I had severe difficulties connecting to a JBL Flip 3... Kind of embarrassing for a flagship phone.

Hey same problem here! Did you happen to notice that you can't even send or receive files via bluetooth?

First of all, its not ""embarrassing"", dont judge whole series of devices or company, by your separate problem, its like saying that all Ford cars are bad, because your car have one problem... Dont you think its kinda... stupid to say such thing?
As for problem it self, its hard to say whats wrong, I would suggest turning BT on and then off via setting section, reboot phone and then check if it work correctly. Then all what I can think of is checking services(force close them) and checking logs if you know how.
If that simple method will not work... well it would be nice to know your OS version, but as you said you have EMUI 4, and I can just guess that its latest 4.1.1, I can just say "update your phone to latest version"....
And if you dont want to update to EMUI 5, because someone say you that its bad(no its not, people who say that just messed up something), and you want to stay with EMUI 4(damn know why if EMUI 5 is the same if not better), I would suggest you to make backup via huawei app, PC if you have files on phone and google sync, and then factory reset phone.
Last time I did that, with reverting backup it took me about hour, but I had lots of files on PC to transfer, so whole process of factory reset and reverting backups should take about 30-40min depending on your internet and what you backup.

I would love to get emui 5, but that's another matter... I have no idea when I will get it (c150).

We have exactly the same problem on our Huawei P8 lite's (managing 25 devices). So it seems not related to the model. So far no clue how to solve...

Huawei P9 getting rid of annoying 7.0 update notification

First of all, sorry for my english
I came to the point of selling my phone (EVA-L19, dual sim) that I loved so much because of that constant 7.0 update push message. That occurs in every internet connection mode change (switching between wifi and mobil data) and i did everything (cancellation of all permits of the update app, cutting its data connection, erasing its data etc) but no solution. I've searched the forum before i open that topic but i couldn't find a valuable answer. For those who say why arent i updating to 7.0, I am getting phenomenal battery life and Sot with 6.0 (about 7.5-8 hours), the phone works perfectly stable and cool, there are no annoying android is, or android system battery drain issues and i dont want it to be destroyed with ****ty 7.0 update, i dont care about new looks of the huawei 5.0 interface or its new features gimmicks etc. I just want it to stay as it is. I will be glad if you can help. Thanks.

Help! P20 Pro GPS doesn't work after update

Hi I just update my P20 Pro to EMUI 9.0.0.178 and my GPS stops working, everytime I use Google Map it says "searching for GPS" and leaves me a grey dot. It's becoming a headache since I heavily rely on it for driving. Does anyone have the same problem with their phone? I tried restarting it, toggling location, reloading the app, still the same problem.
please help.

i have same problem

Mines was jumping all over the place today. Is there a way to calibrate the compass?

I try to restart the phone everytime this problem shows up, and it seems to solve the problem. But it's annoying knowing I have to restart it everytime to make it work...

My wife and I have the same problem since the update. It looks like the GPS lag to update the position. Rebooting seems to solve the problem temporarily... But I don't want to have to reboot every other day.

Same problem here. Has anyone gotten a solution or has it started working again by itself?

Has anyone tried refreshing the a-gps data? Might help, I use gps test plus.

Same issue here. Rebooting brings things back but that's not a solution. I'm on 9.0.0.178 with the CLT-L04 in Toronto.

going to check this soon.

No problem with GPS on my Pro.
9.0.0.163
OTG Update with full wipe

I have the same issue but only with google maps. Waze and other GPS functions work fine. I usually reboot and it works for a few hours.

Huawei acknowledged a problem
It's my first time posting here, as it's the first major problem I've had with my P20 Pro over the past year. I started experiencing GPS problems after the last software update. Like others reported, they'd go away after reboot but not for long. I tried a factory reset, which doesn't seem to have helped either.
I contacted Huawei support in Canada via their website. I got a response today which first suggested I try wiping the cache partition (restart my phone, hold down the volume-up button, then you get to an EMUI maintenance screen with this option - this also didn't help any more than restarting). But it also acknowledged that there is a known issue that they are working on fixing in the next update. I quote:
" In case the issue persists, we would like to inform you that this is related to the new software update, however, Huawei is currently working to solve it. This issue will be optimized in the new version, this one is expected to be released in March. You will automatically receive this update that will solve this issue your phone is facing."
I thought you all might like to know this. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!

I just updated to the 9.0.0.236 version available through FirmwareFinder and rooted as well. GPS is working normally again!

There's an issue with the latest pie ( android 9.0) and the P20 Pro that bugs the gps out, you have to restart your phone every times you want to use your gps. There should be a patch around March 21st 2019. In the meantime if you want, you can always factory reset, which would solve the issue, and wait before reinstalling the latest firware

Any news about that issue ? I have the model CLT-L29 C636E2R1P12 with Android 9.0.0.234 and it's not working the gps....

I have the 213 update for my L04 and it now works great! If you have the Canadian model, check for the update! It didn't work with the 178, now it does!

Im also experiencing gps problem CLT-L29(C636) 9.0.0.234

i thought that i had the same issue but finally i found out that the problem was the new phone-case i put which has metal parts and blocks the gps signal. After remove the case gps works as it should.

Mine doing same. Always searching for gps. How did u fix it?

Same here. At first I thought it's EMUI, but the GPS was still broken after flashing lineage... Any chance that the gps will work again if I roll back to EMUI 8.1?
