Sound issue fixed for me - Xperia Z1 General

Greetings,
After spending a lot of time trying to find why the sounds coming through the ear speaker i connected the headset that came with the phone and when i connected it pop up on notification the music on the go ,i hit on it and i configure it. When i connect the head set to pause music and go to dialer for example and when disconnected it to pause music and go to home screen.
After that , i unplugged it and finally the sounds coming through speaker.
I hope that will help others also.
Cheers
Vatis

I've been wanting to try the new update but the sound issue is a major deterrent.
However after reading through all the posts it may be a problem with smat connect misbehaving. Some people have found removing smart connect fixed it (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51445037&postcount=69).
Seeing as this may be a solution I think I'll upgrade later today and then try this solution if I encounter the same problem.
Maybe more people can try this or if they have post what the result was?

no wonder when i enable back smart connect yesterday, this problem happen.
when i 1st install 4.4, i all the way disable smart connect, so didnt encounter this.

Reading all the posts about the sound issue i tried the easiest solution, uninstalled all the updates of Chrome (i used the most recent version), finally deactivated Chrome itself (using Dolphin now...)
No more sound sound problem since then.
I am not using Smart Connect at all.

I can confirm that deactivating smart connect is fixing the sound issue.

The first thing i ever do in a rom is delete useless apps including chrome and smart connect.
And I am still having this problem almost daily. Pluging the headset playing something and disconnecting somehow helps.

I had the issue too, even after hard reseting and refreshing stock rom multiple times. The first thing I do is disable apps that I do not use and smart connect is one of them. I kept having the issue even with both chrome and smart connect disabled so I went back to 4.3

Bluetooth issues with music and videos

As of today my phone will link to my Bluetooth headset take calls but will refuse to play music or YouTube videos sound. My jambox now does the same as well....
The sound will transmit out of the ear piece on my smartphone rather than the Bluetooth device which is confirmed to be synced.
Has anyone else had this issue, and or does anyone know what I can do???

I did have this issue before on a previous phone. I think I was able to get it to work after rebooting the first time. The next time it happened, I ended up having to delete the device in the bluetooth settings and then re-discovered it. Have you tried that?

Wondering if you found a solution to this. I'm having the same problem. It started after the first update. I wiped the phone, tested apps until I found the one causing the problem (Robin voice assistant). Everything was fine until the most recent update and the problem has resurfaced. That makes me think it's one of the bloatware apps I can't remove without rooting. I haven't added any new apps since I resolved the problem the first time. Verizon swears there's nothing wrong with their update. Before I go through the complicated (for me) process of rooting the phone, I want to be sure there's not an easier fix.
Thoughts
Ive had my note 3 for 2 weeks, the phone came loaded with MJ7 firmware and i noticed some popping and cracking while streaming. Took the MJE update and still had the same symptons. Pretty frustrating... I deleted all my bluetooth devices, did a battery pull and rebooted, seems to have really improved. A 100% improvement? NO, but a 90% improvement. Might wanna give it a try if you havent. Hope it helps....

Audio cutting out more and more frequently since last update.

Anyone else getting their audio cut out? Before the latest update my phone was pretty flawless. Now certain apps the audio cuts out. Then cuts back in and sound likes it struggles to stay on then cuts back out. Now this just happened to a Facebook video I was watching. This never happened before. I'm not using head phones and I haven't tried using them this is happening to the phones speaker.
Is Sammy aware of this issue?

Factory reset, I had camera problems after the lastest update. It would FC on pro mode and had to be rebooted for the camera to work again. It's a pain, but it works.

No problem
i've had this problem. I reset and it went away then came back after a software update. I would love to know what that update did and how to roll back
Well I'm back, and I got some bad news.
I did an hard reset, (went into recovery and deleted cache as well etc)
The 1st day it was fine. And now just a few hours ago, it started again. It's really bugging the he'll out of me.
This has to be software related. My phone was flawless before this last update.
As I type this my keyboard stopped making sounds.
Contacted samsung about the issue.
Did it happen with headphones or the speaker or both?

It's been happening with the phones speaker. Haven't replicated the issue with headphones, then again I rarely use them on the phone.
Right now I have full sound, but eventually it will cut out, come back cut out rinse and repeat.
No issues before the latest update.
no problems here

Having the same issue on my AT&T Galaxy S7. It doesn't happen on Bluetooth, and I haven't noticed with headphones, but it cuts out all the time through the speakers. It'd be nice to find a solution to this issue for it is causing several issues such as the sound cutting out during my alarm going off for work. Ended up an hour late due to the issue. ?
Anyone find a true resolution. I've read many articles and still no luck. Factory wipe, partition wipe, safe mode, developer mode.. I've tried it all
I share your pain. I have the same problems too.
When I try to use the phone for a conference call, the volume drops but they can hear me. When I am listening to YouTube, the volume drops. When I try to use the phone in Speaker mode, the volume drops too. No Fix and very discouraged.

Useless programmers
If it's not broke, update it until it is.
LG V20 - No "Easy Mute" feature found. Nothing found. I am a music developer and accurate and WORKING audio is my livelihood. Very fu&&ckin IRATE. Stupid software developers need to go back to hacker school and save real programming for professionals. Now we have to go back to a effing Ipod? CDs? Vinyl?

I haven't seen smart pause.. Smart stay and everything else I checked out and it's not causing the problem. I'm hoping it's not a hardware a problem. I'm going to reflash a different rom and see where it gets me.
This also started happening to me after last software update. Dont knownof its the app update or the phone os marshmellow update...

Hmm.. Not sure. All I wanna do is try to reflash rom but that takes a lot of backing up just when everything else is perfect.
Yea thats true. My gallery just started acting up too where half my pics appear to be half grayed out by a vertical bar.
Considering a reflash but to lazy to back up and ensure everything is backed up. Dont wanna miss nothing.

Type of pause?
How long is pause?
Is it clipping?
Is it at a high volume?
Do you have any type of mono or Bluetooth apps installed?
Are you using WIFI or mobile connection for streaning?
Does it occur at certain locations or everywhere?
*Do you use OK GOOGLE or any similar Voice activated apps?
*Check your NOTIFICATIONS! Try changing SOUND NOTIFICATIONS to VIBRATE for all apps by going into sounds & notif in settings.. Change MODE to vibrate.
*Also try playing in AIRPLANE mode & do not disturb
*Does it occur when streaming to a tv or media device?
With these questions we can rule out various "connectivity" issues or interference as WELL as apps fighting for control over speaker or microphone, for notifications etc. As there are many
You should find the cause as with almost all media streaming apps most have options to go into a do not disturb mode as other apps utilize the same reaources resulting in conflicts like you described! After changing to VIBRATE notification mode and/or AIRPLANE mode, it becomes just a matter of narrowing down offending app.. Until then it will work at least!
HOPE THIS HELPS! There r days I need help! too
I had same problem and ı thought this problem can be related to an app ı installed. And it was. When i uninstalled Sputnik news. My problem had gone. If u have it, uninstal. If u dont have, may be one of other app causes. Try uninstalling each app, and find the app causes this problem

[OREO] OpenBeta 1 - Bluetooth issues

Hey guys,
I installed the OpenBeta 1 on my OP5, and it seems I have bluetooth connection issues with my car. It keeps connecting, then disconnecting all the time... I tried deleting the sync, resyncing everything but still the same issue.
Anyone else? I'm using Blu spark kernel (I'll have to try it with stock kernel) and stock OOS, clean flash.
Thanks!
Same here with open and leaked betas. It may work for half an hour or just a few minutes. Pretty annoying, but it's the only issues I'm facing with the betas.

Stock
Open beta 1 here, everything stock, no problem at all with all my BT devices (car, speaker, watch...)
I haven't had any issues on Open Beta 1 either, use the BT in my car on a daily basis for at least an hour at a time.
On Open Beta 1 the sound via Bluetooth connected to speaker is very quiet compared to stable 4.5 ... also, I tried all available codecs with no difference.
Anyone else is experiencing this, too?
Same with leaked beta 3. I'm already in contact with OnePlus bughunters and sending them logs....

I made some testing, and it appears that when the phone is connected without telephone and notifications, music is played correctly without any issues. However when connecting the phone and notification (through the Bluetooth settings), it stops the music and phone keeps connecting and disconnecting.
I'll have to try with the Ok Google disabled through headset.
Did you guys test with telephone and notification on through car? Strange that some have issues and others don't...

My problem with Bluetooth on Oreo is that everytime I connect to a device it resets the media volume to like 25%. Having to turn it up to 100% every time I want to use a Bluetooth device is really ridiculous.

Bluetooth issues after Beta 1 update
Hi there,
I have issues with my OP5 since I updated to Oreo Beta 1.
Randomly Bluetooth audio cuts several times during 1 or 2 minutes (sometimes more) so music is awful. Impossible to hear...
I only have this issue since I updated to the beta, so please solve this for the official release.
I use Bluetooth music play in my car (Toyota Auris 2011), with headphone (Sony MDR-ZX770BN), Speaker (Harman Kardon HK OMNI 10), and I have the same issue on all of them.
One question, is it possible to perform a rollback to stock ROM? All my attempts were unsuccessful... Invalid zip archive...
Please help!!!
hopefully these issues have been fixed in Open Beta 2: http://downloads.oneplus.net/oneplus-5/oneplus_5_oxygenos_openbeta_2/ ("Improvements for Bluetooth audio") ... I'm gonna check this out tonight.

OK thanks for your help. On my side I don't have issues with audio playback on Bluetooth in car or using Bose, however call issues with my car (and no issues with my gear S3, which is strange...).
Could you test the call in your car please? I'm on LB4 (leaked beta)

I get this too. Also, sometimes on Bluetooth, the song skips a second or two every second when playing music ..

Completely lost ability to sync apps after AW 2.0

So I purchased the Wear24 watch on TechRabbit. It arrived and I connected watch to phone. All my apps were syncing and things were, for the most part, good. Noticed the watch would say it was NOT connected but it was connected.
Also noticed the 2.0 update available. I updated to AW 2.0....now I cant download any apps on my watch. I open the
play store on the watch and it just crashes in 4-5 seconds. No force close warning or anything. Any ideas?

I have like 3 times.
Did you try to uninstall and the reinstall Android wear on our phone?
Also when ou set up the watch initially it takes while before apps sync.
You also need to install apps from the appstore on the watch, this was not needed on previous version of AW.
I have the same problem with my LG watch style, it closes like 5 seconds after it loads. Can't find anything to help.
Had the same problem. I noticed it stopped when I went to work and realized at that point my notifications and what not was coming through wifi and not Bluetooth because like you mine also acted as though it wasnt connected.
- factory reset
- let AW update first should go to 2.8
- disable cellular radio
- disable SIM
- DO NOT give the "phone companion?" Permissions... The app I'm referring to is the one that asks you to verify your number and address ( I don't have it my phone now because I think it only shows if your sim is enabled... my theory)
- update the remaining apps
Now it shows connected via Bluetooth and it was notifying me all day! The only thing about this is that you will not be able to call from the watch as the microphone won't work but that's really an odd use case anyways in my opinion. I just want to be able to ignore calls and now I can do that so this watch is pretty solid so far. Very happy for 50 bucks.

Good luck hope it works out for you. Also I just remembered the name of the app that you don't want to configure isn't phone companion, it's "call setup". Ugh I wish it was still in my app list cause I'd just look it up.

I'm also having no mic in calls. I can hear them via the watch but they can't hear me. I'd like to get this worked out as it's nice to have while driving if the sound is good enough. I also got mine for $50 on techrabbit! To good of a deal to not grab one.
