Hi there,
Does anybody else have the problem that the compass it not working? I don't get a direction in Google maps. The direction marker is just turning all the time regardless what I do. I'm on the latest firmware 115 with locked bootloader and off course not rooted.
Have you calibrate your compass? There are special instructions in Google Maps how to do so.

Yes I did. I also tried to reset Google maps without success.
And it affects every application that uses the compass. Not only Google maps.
Open asus calculator and tap:
,12345+=
Then open single test - digital compass.
If it's fail then I guess you will need to reset phone to factory default settings. Or maybe its hardware related.

I did that too. Test was successful. The compass is working fine it says.
Then i don't know. Maybe it's better to try some free compass apps from play market?

They behave the same. They spin like a crazy carousel.
I checked the sensors using the app 'GPS Status' and the readings of the magneto meter are looking fine. But the 1st value of the orientation is running from 0 to 360 all the time.

I have the exact same problem.
Did you find a solution?

The solution was to let the customer service replace the main board. Now everything is fine.
I had the same problem and I sent it to the customer service to repair.
Still waiting for it... Status says that they are waiting for some parts.
BTW, I also had an issue with the video stabilization. If stabilization was on then the output was all jumpy (even if my hand didn't move at all). Is your video recording okay?
The video recording is fine after they replaced the main board. Before it was the same as you described.

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.

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.

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.

Xperia Z3 Compact radio also not working. Downloaded another radio app (Simple radio) and bingo! I now have all the radio programmes that I want.
I have wanted to move from my regular android head unit to Android Auto for a while, but some of my favorite things to listen to while driving to work don't have regular podcasts. So I have to watch them on YouTube. If anyone has used this, please let me know if it is working well. I really want to get a higher quality head unit, and this would definitely motivate me to do it. Here is a link to a video example of it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N9AjJW0H93Y
http://www.thekirankumar.com/blog/
Yes it is working perfectly fine. I've just recently started using it. It also has inbuilt internet browser and u can also watch videos from your device's internal or sd storage. But i prefer using AnyAutoAudio app while driving because its much safer as it plays youtube on the background n u dont get distracted by the video too

You can downgrade the Google Play Service to 12.21.
It works. And also using Android Auto v2.95
But I choose mirroring app Android Auto over the carstream.

If you have no root, then you have to re-install the GPS every time its update.
If not, then you won't get the app working.
If you're rooted user, then you can use the lucky patcher in my case and searching for update in GPS and then disable the package.
In my case, I used the following step below based on my experienced:
1. Open LuckyPatcher
2. Tap search box
3. Search for Google Play Services
4. Tap the Google Play Services
5. Choose Menu of Patches then click Yes.
6. Choose change the app components
7. Tap the disable components 'pm disable' method in the first row
8. Then search for update and you can disable:
com.google.android .gms.update.SystemUpdateActivity (in tab Activities)
com.google.android.location.internal.NlpNetworkProviderSettingUpdateReceiver (In tab receiver)
com.google.android.lgms.update.SystemUpdateService
9. Just enjoy it! :good::good:
Already using this for months and no auto update for Google Play Services. But I'm using GPS 12.6.85 with the AA mirror and Android Auto 3.2.58 on rooted devices. And I'm not using the carstream again but using AA mirror and I can play youtube or even all of the apps on my phone in the head unit. FYI the carstream won't work in my version. I haven't tried it though.
Always Have a full functional Backup. Just in case!
Disclaimer: I will not be held responsible for any damage or loss caused by following those steps.
It's 2 weeks, I can't have any response from Google assistant on AA. The assistant is working fine without Android auto.
If I ask something for example a destination, it works, but no voice answer anyway.
So I can't have any info about Weather or calendar etc...
Does anyone have the same issue?
Already tried to reinstall AA, Google and Google Play services (delete cache and data)...but it does not help...
Xperia x compact Oreo
What happen?
Same problem hier - when the assistant is replying, the headunit mutes..
https://support.google.com/androidauto/thread/2475001?hl=en
I think that MAYBE you are experiencing the same problem as I am.
If you manually trigger assistant in your phone by holding the middle icon/button and say a command like call someone it will display a screen asking you for activation. No matter how many times you activate it. It will deactivate again and you will have to do the same process again.
Or it can be the mute headunit bug. I think I have both.
The issue is on the AA app without car unit, too.
Just no answer after asking anything...no assistant voice at all..
But Google app works ok...
Same here. Oneplus 6t. Found other fora describing the problem too. We just have to wait for a fix I think...
same problem
Is Google working on it? This issue is known... what is it waiting for?

At first the routines also worked, but then never again. Now the wizard has been limited to a few commands in android auto.

Really strange that they managed to mess it up so badly. And apparantly no fix in the latest release.
Still don't understand if all phones have the same issue, or some model only
Having same problem too. No response, only a "blink" sound. The order works but no voice reply
Galaxy S8 Plus + Kenwood Unit
I tried to send a whastapp msg and it works, but no reply when i ask about weather or travel to any place (directly opens navigation app after "blink")

Both installing from backup or APK lead to an error when opening LzPlay. It just shows a single blue button and closes when you press it. I think the error is about the device not being supported, but the translation is really bad.

Hello community, I have manage around 2 weeks ago to get working the Google services on my p40Pro. What I would like is to have the push notifications working even if the playstore doesn't work. Is there any options out there on this?
I saw new guides out there but they seem to start where the device doesn't have the GMS on it.
Would please anyone guide me on this journey? I am a bit confused and dont want to mess up what I have at the moment on my phone.

Hey, everything was working out for me, I had to enable GFS for maps that I need it. Now I went back home and start receiving notifications of error that my phone is not certified and it could not log in to all my Gmail accounts...
What can I do now? What would be the best way to fix this.?
Thank you in advise
Can confirm it's blisteringly fast and the camera is amazing.
Quick updates.....
Not tested yet - android auto.
Can't make work - vibration notifications.
Origin OS, I presume?
Any problems with Google apps?
Yup latest Origin.
Full Google play etc. No Google stuff that doesn't work I've found.

So Gpay is odd. The app doesn't work (not ready yet updating error) BUT allowing my bank to add the card to Google pay via its own app worked and allows me to use it.

Not ready as updating or something. But after I added a card via my banks app, it will let me pay fine. Just need to choose Google pay in the NFC settings.
But you can’t launch the Wallet app and for example switch between different cards, right? Did you try to reinstall, delete the app data and so on?
Can you check the power consumption of single core and multi core in Geekbench using perfdog? i can lend you an account and tell you how to measure it. It's not difficult.

Cheers mate. Its my only missing piece of info before pulling the trigger on purchasing. Seems to be plenty of reviews out there focusing on the camera quality
Shame about AA and Gpay though. Any other quirks worth mentioning?
Could you make screenshots or a simple screen recording of the camera app and all its features? Especially
Video mode: Supported Resolutions and Framerates
LOG / Cine Video Mode: Supported Resolutions and Framerates
Portrait Video Mode: Supported Resolutions and Framerates
Also: How would you root? Vivo still does not allow bootloader unlocking afaik, and the glitch from X70 and X80 seems to be fixed.
Does the timeline in Google maps work? Thank you
