Hi there, Im having an issue with my bluetooth, My car (2011 dodge charger) has the bluetooth uconnect system, the problem im having is that I can pair my phone with it, and after the intial pairing it works perfectly, however any time after that the phone portion will connect just fine, but my media connection never works, even though it worked during the initial pairing. It used to work fine on my old phone and my bluetooth headset appears to work just fine with my xperia.
Would anyone have any idea what could be happening or what I could do? Would it be a good idea to downgrade to an older version, I upgraded to 4.4.4.
Any tips would be appreciated, thanks!
Ok another quick question, i tried to downgrade the phone with flashtool to 14.2.A.1.114_Generic%20UK-nosystem.ftf, it seemed to flash, and I believe this is jellybean, however when I restarted the phone it was stuck in bootloop, it would constantly flash the sony logo and go no further, luckily I was able to use the sony pc companion to wipe it and salvage it, could anyone tell me what I did wrong?
My phone was rooted with easy root tool at the time and thats it.

How big is that file?

Not that big, and supposedly that was my problem, I actually found the proper chinese version and attempted it, this file actually worked but required a full wipe.
Sure enough, with jelly bean it now connects perfectly, what did they do in kit kat to make it break so badly? Do you think there will be another update soon that will fix it?

sadly there doesnt seem to be any more updates coming for my system, which is a real drag, looks like ill have to stay on jelly bean for the time being.
Just for the record, my 14 charger does the same thing with 108 KitKat. Very disappointing!
Aw man, even with the 14? I strongly recommend downgrading to jelly bean, I did and its working pretty good so far, no idea what they did in the kit kat update but whatever it is messed up the bluetooth pretty good.

i was trying to install gingerbread on my elocity a7+ tablet and it seemed to be going fine. It said i needed to reboot to continue so i did. When i restarted it, it never started into an os. I turned on straight to a black screen, no text at all. I've tried holding all the key buttons and even unplugged the battery. Nothing works. How can I fix this? Installing a custom ROM or going back to the factory would be fine.
Having this exact same problem, I was trying to install the android market mod. Everything was going fine, then this.
I think we've bricked our tablets. All the mods I saw were for the A7, not the A7+. I read that there were no software changes between the two, and figured the same mods should work.
I would appreciate a more informed opinion, though.
Mine comes today. Did you just try to apply the 1.42 mod or gingerbread. Please be more specific. This thing is going back if I can't mod. Thanks.
I tried the 1.42 mod. Thread creator tried gingerbread. They both caused the same outcome.
It seems like it's installing fine, but then when it reboots, you get the black screen.
Wow that sucks, but I really appreciate your post. The device will be at my door in the next couple hours. Now I have to decide if the device is worth the cost ($199) without the mod. I guess with sideloading it won't be too bad..... Thanks again
It's a very nice tablet, if all you want to do is use the internet with it. You need the android market to get the best apps, though. Without that, it's useless, in my opinion. I'd rather just use my real computer.
Hopefully Dexter will get his hands on one and it's just a small change in the rom..... Not sure which way I'll go.... probably return
Yeah, but seriously. Anybody out there have any ideas? The system seems to be failing to boot entirely.

Tried going back to stock? Can you mount it in Windows?

If you made a mistake and installed A7 stuff on the A7+ here is a link to the instructions to fix it.

Hello xda people! I just joined the forums after reading about the new system update for a while. I just wanted to know if in order for me to get the new update to 3.2.1 i need to change my GEN since i have GEN2. Or if i could just do the update manually from you guys, or if i should wait for it? Ive seen now the us is getting it, but i havent had any update at all.
from what I can tell you with my device which came with gen2 software I downgraded to the gen1 stock firmware avail in the dev section an hit update an got my 2 updates to the latest version out right now.
I see, well i downloaded one of the GEN1. I would like to know what's the process of downgrading, I'm new to all of this and don't know what to do to be honest (Even though I always catch up really fast lol). I want to downgrade so I can get the update. Thank you.
You don't need to do anything of the sort, there's a flash able GEN2 3.2.1 .zip for us GEN2 guys, you just need to download it, decrypt it using the Acer decrypt tool, put the decrypted file in the root of the SD card, turn off the device and hold volume up and power until Mr. Android with Gears shows up and automatically updates it.
Thanks, littleemp, I think I found it, though it says GEN1, the person said it works for both GEN1 and GEN2.

Here's the encrypted update zip I used for my A100 GEN2.
www.megaupload.com/?d=EK2KP8KT
Awesome, thanks a lot!
I have a little problem with the download, I've downloaded that .zip you gave me twice already and it says the file is either unknown format or damaged. Any idea of what's happening?
Per post #4, you have to decrypt it with the decrypter tool in one of the other threads and then drop it onto the main sdcard folder. And then reboot as explained above.

Worked perfectly, any idea if the GEN2 people will be able to get the newest? The 2.007.4 or something like that? Thanks again!

I don't even know what changes were on that update though, I thought the only really bad bug on these devices was the headphones thing.
In any case, assuming the timetable that Acer gave us for ICS holds up, then it shouldn't be very far off, so I'm just going to sit tight and wait for it.

Yup thats the first thing i tested as soon as i updated, it also seems to run a bit smoother now. Now to wait for ics.
Having upgraded to 4.2.x now for about a month I have nothing but fustrations about the upgrade. I've had probably 5-6 random reboots where as on 4.1.x I had none. The phone has had problems connecting to data where the only remedy was to reboot. I've also had problems connecting with GPS AND bluetooth where only a reboot would fix things. The OS studders much more than before and (it could be my imagination) it seems some apps run slower than before. With that said if I have to reboot one more time this week I will be downgrading.
BTW I'm stock with bootloader unlocked on yakju.
Like everyone else you should try a fresh install of the factory image wiping everything without restoring any data. It shouldn't matter if you are going to downgrade anyway.
We are many who have had no issues at all, so give it a shot.
Lots of threads already on these issues.
Just downgrade now and save us having to listen to more whining...
If you updated from 4.1 to 4.2 without a full wipe there's potential for a lot to go wrong. There could be some app running as a service that isn't fully compatible with 4.2 causing your issues.
With that being said, I would try fully resetting the device, no need to re-flash the stock image because it's already in place on the device anyway.
Install apps that are known to work on 4.2 ONLY. Then, you can begin testing to see if it becomes stable. After that, do what you want.

if you're on the VZW Galaxy Nexus, then i strongly recommend getting the mmuzzy rom. i think it's made specifically for that carrier/model only. it's been great for me so far. so smooth, no issues thus far!
i don't know how much experience you have with swapping roms, but you should use the Super Wipe utility that mmuzzy recommends.

Hi.
I only have problems in bluetooth in 4.2.1... Sometimes I turned it off and I cannot turn it on again Also... sometimes when the phone goes into sleep mode it disconnect the connection with handset... It never happen in 4.1.
I downloaded the factory image of 4.2.1 from Google and flash it... still the same. I saw people saying a clean install... Should I do another kind of install other than I did?
Can someone please tell me if got this kind of bluetooth problem and have solved it? How?
Thanks

i have also encountered that behaviour, gets greyed out while "Turning off".
So last night, I guess my phone was trying to download and install security update from samsung and failed. My battery died later cause it was low and after I recharged my phone and turned it on, my phone literally took a crap. Everything crashes even settings. Cant send a text out. Bluetooth wont turn on etc.
Now after I back up my photos somehow, what would be the best way to restore to keep root and CWM?
Settings-restore?
dl note 3 os then flash with CWM?
Thanks guys.
Hmmmm

I did have a similar issue. My quick fix wasn't so quick though. I completely formatted, flashed stock ROM back, chainfire root, CWM to bootloader then you're free. I got my files from galaxynote3root.com

So its weird, after I let the phone stay on for like an hour, everything seems to load properly and nothing crashes. Planning on reformatting, but I am kind of worried on why this happened. I am on stock rom.

It's possible during your update critical files were missed do to power loss and were replaced on reboot? I unfortunately was not able to get passed the bootscreen to recovery or the system itself. So i was forced to divert back to stock firmware and start from the beggining. So if you run into any more issues you might start there. If you kept root all should be well i believe. :good:

Thanks for the link. Do I just add them to my phone somewhere and then flash with recovery program?
Also will these work on other roms?
Flashed to phone however didn't work still no wifi after flashing with recovery program. Is it meant to say android devices updating as i didn't see that happen this time

Where would I look at getting the original one that was gingerbread or first releases as ftf i have is .96 baseband
XperiaS_LT26i_6.2.B.1.96_1257-6919.ftf
Also took phone to shop and they even advised it is some software glitch bug hes had a few people with the same sort of problem and its sony that needs to fix it he was on about some part of the software when flashing is not being wiped out and re applied with new stuff and have to remove the files he even checked to see if the files where their and he said well its not that as plugged phone into a reader and shows the files being removed and re applied from new flash.
What other onces besides the XperiaS_LT26i_6.2.B.1.96_1257-6919.ftf I have is their ? might jsut get every single one of them starting from oldest to new n seeing if any work.

I know its not hardware related as I see my wifi option it comes on and goes out and fades away sometimes when hard resetting settings it will light up but then get stuck again, I been reading more about it and found it to be some bug within it and sony have yet to fix the bug that many devices have. tried reverting back to backed up firmware and kernel and no joy still

Tried going right back to jingerbread on this it turns on starts scanning and then says error. When using wifi tools I get the error wifi stuck and have looked at sonys database and seems many are reporting the same sort of bugs on the xperia s and other devices with stuck wifi and cant turn on not matter what is done or they have tried.
Well I look and looked and looked.
RESOLVED after 4 bloody days.
After a shocking discovery this actually worked. But think it might be some bug that is within Sky WiFi thats resolved the problem
1 went to https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bskyb.cloudwifi
Downloaded installed. Next logged into my account and shortly after I seen devices available to connect to but their cloud. Shortly after saving my settings phone locked up froze and restarted on me n rebooted and then noticed that my ? option was on for saying WiFi available clicked on it and wifi on powered phone down and back on and still on.
