New firmware update 32.2.A.0.305 for Z4T

Hi,
New firmware 32.2.A.0.305-R4C is rolling out, see on Xpericheck.
probably the same update as the Z5:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2016/10/07/new-firmware-32-2-a-0-305-rolling-for-xperia-z5-family/

Since the last update, which should solve problems with bluetooth paired devices (that I haven't had), the BKB 50 doesn't conntect to the Tablet anymore. when I unpair an the pair the device it works for two minutes an then It doesen't work anymore.
Hardware reset of the keyboard didn,'t change anything. So, if you update have that in mind... and does anybody have an idea what I can do about it?

I just tested it with my HP Bluetooth keyboard - works with US keyboardlayout. I would have to change that with e.g. External Keyboard Helper.
You could try a factory reset of the tablet.
Or with root access and tools like Titanium Backup delete selectively the data of the bluetooth related apps or work on the command line via adb shell.
I had some issues with battery life in the previous build - some process drained the battery in idle mode in < 10 hours. I figured something with the Google system apps.
With the new build it seems to me the slope of the battery stats went from 30° to 10° and my usage pattern.
Best I had with my SGP712 so far.

HI,
Just tested with a generic bluetooth keyboard and no problem ( I never had a problem with the bluetooth with this tablet on many Devices)

I hope this update fixes my problem with videos / animated gifs being unable to play after x time. A reboot fixes that, but it's damn annoying on a media consumption device..

Sorry I did not try.

Going to update right now does someone know if theyve fixed the low microphone gain issue that the 771 is suffering since the last update?
Edit: Doesn't look so.... Come on sony guys with this matter the comm capabilities of the tablet go really down....

If it happens on original firmware it may help to post on Sony's official Z4 Tablet forum to better get their attention.
I should do the same once I know if the failing media playback issue also happens on stock.

Wow, looks like that is the fix. I've renamed the files on my tablet. Let's see if media keeps working. I'll report back in a few days.
Thanks a lot for finding this and sharing. :highfive:

Thanks nonetheless, I wouldn't have found it otherwise.
I can confirm that this fixes the playback problem. I can finally browse Reddit GIFs without fearing I'll have to reboot again to see them

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.

I have same problem. not only music player but also Youtube, Browser. Dıd you find a solution?

Basically I still deal with it. And it's not as bad. I really just want to upgrade to nougat but without xposed.. Nope

I upgraded to nougat. But problem still exists

I had the possibly similar issue
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/audio-randomly-cutting-s7-edge-t3373944/post72126191#post72126191

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

Plz help!! Couldn't download system update! :(

Hi guys,
I have a LG Gwatch R for the past 2 years now. It was running the latest version of Android wear 1 till this December. One day the screen died and had to send to to service. So I got the watch back today and the watch is factory reset (on the very first version of the wear OS). I paired the watch and the phone, all good. But it tries to download a software update and it keeps giving me this error on the watch: couldn't download system uodate, not enough space is available to download system update.
As I mentioned the watch has nothing on it and it was updated before to android wear 1.5 or whatever version it was the latest before wear2.
Does anyone have any idea on what's going on in her and how can I possibly fix this issue? The watch is almost useless in its current state ?
Thanks,
Siavash

Did yours happen after repair or factory reset as well?

Post the output of:
Code:
adb shell df

Sorry was a bit short in my reply ?
No its only a week old and new.
Tried to clear cache and also reset it to factory on it but no luck, also removed almost all apps on the phone.

Send it back again. Give them the error message and a photo of it.

Yes that's the problem. The watch is formatted and is like brand new. Nothing is on it, so it shouldn't complain about it not having enough space.
I was looking on the web today and I found that this has happened to a couple of people having LG watch urban as well, same scenario. I suspect it's something to to with the new update to wear 2 released by LG, screwing up something when it tries to update from the very first release of Android wear to the latest.

Google Play Music Forwarding/Scrubbing Problem

Hey everyone,
I've been using Google Play Music for a while now (since my OnePlus 3) and I could never get it to forward/scrub in a song. Whether the song is downloaded or streaming I cannot pick a specific place in the song to play, always reverts back to the beginning. Did some researching and it seems this is happening to a lot of people using OnePlus Oxygen OS. I thought maybe the 5 wouldn't have this issue but its still persisting. Anyone else running into this and if so, did you find a fix? Thanks in advance.

I've never liked the G Music app for locally downloaded music, but yeah it's not the greatest written app. I can scrub a song but not well or smoothly. On my OP3 I never had major issues but on prior phones I always found it shoppy for scrubbing. Just my two cents, YMMV.

This was one of the issues I had on my OP5.
It's not there anymore though...becuase I returned my OP5.

I have it too, is annoying. I'm using Apple Music right now (just because is a family suscribtion and they pay the same with or without me lol) but i would like to use Play Music just because YouTube Red ):

I've requested a callback from Google regarding this. Hope they can provide a resolution.

I had same issue. On OxygenOS 4.5.5 seems to be fixed and I can skip forward with playback.

Someone mentioned clearing data, tried it to no result. Hoping support has a way to fix this. Also, does anyone know how to upgrade individual subscription to a family plan?

Yeah I tried clearing data and uninstalling the latest update but still no luck

are you an all access user? because from what i read this bug appears not in songs stored in the device from other sources but in songs downloaded or streamed via google play music all access..

Oh yes seems like that is not fixed for this cases.

This issues comes and goes for me. It seems to be linked to whether I have a network connection or not. Be it cellular or WiFi. If I have no network it just restarts the song each time, doesn't matter if it's on the device or cached.
And to answer a earlier question you can upgrade Via settings in Google Play Click the Burger in the top left and you should see an option to Upgrade to family plan in the list under the download only switch.

I've tried everything with this. I have the subscription, and it has all of my personal music uploaded to it (which has since been corrupted on my hard drive), so I'm locked in to the service now, plus it's a great streaming option w/ the family plan. It works fine on all my other devices. I've tried clearing the cache, all 5 versions of OOS 4.5, clean wiping, custom ROMs, disabling the cache completely. Nothing makes a difference. Talked to customer support (1+) and they said it's an issue with Google. Currently, Google is looking into the issue. Will update.
Update:
Currently working with Google, here's a video of the behavior in case anyone is interested: https://goo.gl/photos/Cw6ffB4y2eSAH4rv7
I know, it's unlocked, rooted, and themed. I promise I tried this after factory resets and clean installs of all of the OOS releases so far: 4.5.0, 4.5.1, 4.5.2, 4.5.3, 4.5.4, 4.5.5.

I have the same issue of not being able to pick a certain portion in the middle of a track to skip to. I also get fired to the beginning of the track. It also happens on podcasts in the app.
The other issue is when I use Chromecast with the app...my display lights up every couple minutes as if I got a notification even though I didn't. The temporary fix I found for that was to disable Google play music from showing notifications on the lockscreen

It was the main reason I returned mine. The fact that it was a problem on the oneplus 3 and they supposedly fixed it then released the oneplus 5 with the same bug tells me something about this company. And they specifically told me to "never settle"

I had this exact problem but was happy enough to ignore it. It disappeared yesterday so I suspect the last update fixed it (which was also yesterday).

It works if the song is downloaded to the phone (I think). I updated yesterday as well and still have the issue.
Google engineers are currently looking into it; here's their statement:
"Thank you for sending the feedback.
I've passed your information along to our engineers and we will update you as soon as we have determined the next steps or have more details.
I may be in touch to request more information about this issue. I really appreciate your continued patience and cooperation as we work to resolve this situation.

You're absolutely right. Good to know it's being looked at and is just the player.

Has anyone upgraded to 4.5.10? There's mention of a GPlay Music scroll fix, not sure if it's related to this as 4.5.10 hasn't rolled out to my region yet.

"Searching for Android Wear updates" notifications

hello,
as the title says, i get these notifications all day long..
they appear for half a second and are gone before i can click on them.
the attached notification log shows that they pop up in irregular intervals, sometimes several times a minute.
i tried to disconnect and reset the watch, but the issue remains.
the problem came up just recently, but i didn't notice any updates.
any ideas what i can do?
watch: misfit vapor (fossil brand), android 8.0, wear os 1.5 (idk why it's not labled 2.something anymore, but it's definitely not the old 1.5 without playstore and so on..)
phone: sony xperia x compact, android 8.0

seems like a secomd reset made it a bit better.. now i get the notifications about 20 times a day..
what can that be? how often is normal?
could someone please check his log?
to get access you might have to enable developer options, then place a homescreen widget for settings -> notifications log

nobody?
xda isn't what it used to be...

I noticed the same. I belive it started after recent update of Google Wear.
I just installed Notification Saver app (my phone does not have notifation log option) and will revert back once I collect some information...

Yeh, it is checking a lot sometimes, sometimes not that much (6 times a day yesterday!).
But today a lot more (attached picture)!
This is not normal...

thanks for the info, so it's a google problem.
i reported it now via the feedback button in the wear os app and i suggest you do the same.
hopefully they fix this soon..

I didn't use my watch the past week or so... let me see next week if the problem persists.
