[Q] 3g is intermittent

Hey guys
I have a serious problem with my Xperia ZL that's driving me nuts... Everytime I try to use any app that needs mobile data access, my 3g works fine fot about 30 secs, then it disconnects (the 3g symbol disappears from the top bar) for about 5-10 seconds and it reconnects again until the cycle starts again.
This whole thing started since I tried to root my phone. The process went wrong and I had to flash the phone with Sony's recovery app, but my 3g never acted as it was before.
Do you know what could be going on? Or should I ask for a new phone?

I have a similar problem. Even in 2G modo. But my time off is bigger

Hey there, sorry for the delay.
Finally I was able to fix this. It was a company's problem, not mine. They adjusted some parameters here and there and magically, my 3G worked properly again. So maybe you should just call your company and talk to a tech guy, tell him that you did every test out there and that you're absolutely possitive that it's their problem =)
Best!

Do you know the config?

[Q] AOSP and Bluetooth

Hello Community,
Has anyone have had any success with AOSP based rom and syncing their phones via bluetooth with their car audio?
I've tried numerous roms, including CM11, Carbon, and SlimKat with no success.
Although, my phone successfully paired and everything. However, upon returning to my car (2013 Prius), my phone doesn't reconnect successfully. Oftentimes, I get these "bluetooth has crashed not responding" popup.
TouchWiz rome work flawlessly, of course.
Anyhow, if there is a trick to get this to work, I would really appreciate it. I love AOSP.
Thanks!

Anyone?

I get the exact same thing. I don't think the drivers for Cm are working right

Me three. And I happen to have a 2014 plug in model :highfive:

I flashed Gummy rom few days back and I did not notice any issues with car bluetooth but did notice the my Moto 360 keeps disconnecting randomly and I have to turn off and turn on bluetooth and restart watch for it to connect again.
Scribbled on Galaxy Note 3.

Mine has always worked with my Sony deck, been on CM nightlies for months. In fact last week it was synced to my deck and my OBD2 scan tool at the same time with no hiccups.

I've never had any issues with BT in my car(2013 Forte) with any of the various AOSP/CM builds & kernels I've been running for the past year, it connects fine & doesn't drop. I get the occasional stutter but I get that with TW too.

Maybe it's specific to the Prius. Sounds like only the Prius had the issue.

[Q] Audio distorted during call?

I'm having a problem with my Zenfone 2 ZE551ML.
During a call, suddently the audio gets heavily distorted and I can barely understand what the other speaker is saying, the voice is metallic and disturbed. I'm using the phone with Italian operator TIM. It happens totally at random, I also tried to return my phone and get another one, but even with the new one it still happens. It does that with the wired headphone, with the phone's speaker, with my car's bluetooth... I have no idea why. I'm running the latest firmware.
Does this occur to anydoby else?

Doesn't happen with mine on T-Mobile, maybe you should try a factory reset before exchanging the phone.
"I'd Totally Hug You, If That Was Something I Did"

Well, I did try a factory reset and i ALSO exchanged the phone for a new one, and I still have the same problem. It's either a firmware issue or an operator issue, but I'm betting it's got nothing to do with the operator since it's the same SIM that was in my old Nexus 5, with which I never had any problem.

Can you exchange it for a 3rd one then? Or maybe try a SIM from a different carrier as a test.
"I'd Totally Hug You, If That Was Something I Did"

I have same problem with Italian operator wind. I wrote to Asus and they urgently asked me to send them my phone. I think and hope it's a factory problem they can fix.

There are several helpful tips regarding basic troubleshooting techniques under Apps/ASUS Support/Assistance. One method for this issue is to check to see if 'AudioWizard' app is turned on, and try disabling by powering it off.

I have already tried both configurations, on and off, without success.

Yes, it makes no difference if audio wizard is on or off.

Actually, since I'm rooted, I tried to disable Audio Wizard completely. Will post results.

I'm on my third ZenFone 2 and they all do the same thing with me as well... the audio will randomly distort during a call. I can replicate the issue through speaker, handset speaker, and bluetooth. Mine isn't quite as severe as yours, it will get choppy for a second then straighten out, every 30-60 seconds or so. I've replicated this issue on both stock ROMs and rooted ROMs with the Asus apps frozen.

Still no difference even after disabling sound wizard. I'm starting to think that this is a structure flaw of this particular model.

The latest firmware seems to have solved this issue. The problem has not re-occurred yet.

Glad to hear I wasn't the only one having this issue. I had a Nexus 4/without issues on Bluetooth in my car using grom audio BT adapter.
I am with Wind in Canada and have had the issue since I bought the phone. I was hoping firmware would fix it, but it still occurred yesterday using firmware 2.19.40.22.
I have checked the sound wizard, but not a factory reset. Guess I could try that today.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks

So it's November and the issue is still a thing on my ZE551ML. It happens with approximately every third phone call - the sound gets suddenly distorted, I can barely understand the other person and he has trouble hearing me as well. Phone unrooted, stock ROM, latest OTA update (WW 2.20.40.97). I have just tried to turn off Audio Wizard for now, let's see if this helps.

I solved sending the phone to Asus assistance, they have changed the motherboard and fixed the problem. They have taken about 15 days. No money required because it's a warranty repairing.

Thank you for your answer. I have found out, that this issue happens ONLY when mobile data are on. If the problem occurs and I turn the data off, sound quality is normal again. It's probably somehow connected with the data network available in the moment (EDGE, 3G, LTE), because data on doesn't always mean the sound gets distorted. If I understand it right, 4G works on the similar frequences as GSM - so it could be some conflict between voice services and internet services (bad priority settings or something?). It seems to me, that after latest firmware update, the issues is not THAT bad, bud still annoying.
Does anyone know what might fix this? Or is there at least any tool that would disable mobile data during a call and turn it on again when the call is over? I would prefer not sending it for repair, cause you know, time is precious.

Yes: I get exactly the same symptoms; my current 'phone is the replacement model for exactly the same problem as the first zenfone 2
tried everything including selecting 2/3G new sim card but it occurs on both #1 or # 2 sim cards and it is intermittent
Methinks it MUST be a hardware problem. All ideas and suggestions welcome as I do like this phone....if only it would work as a phone!

MXB48T kilos sound on my Píxel C

As the title says (*kills). Sound working ok and after the update when I don't use the tablet for a while sound goes off for all the system. I reboot it and after the reboot it works. But several minutes later the sound is dead again. Any one with this issue???
This is so f..king annoying.
Thanks!!
Edit: kills the mic too.
Edit2: while it's charging through the charger it seems, even letting it a while locked, that sound doesn't go off. Really Google? So fuc..d up developers you have?

No problems here with the update.

All good here too

Mine is also fine on the new update.
Could be a bad flash. Try flashing the factory image and seeing if that helps.

Don't have a USB C cable and I won't buy one for this ****ty tablet. I spend 500€ to work my ass out to make this thing run okay? Hell no. Rooted and unlocked all my Android devices, not this one guys. It's really annoying. A month a go my nexus 6 battery died. Do you know how many years my Galaxy SIII worked before saying good bye? 5 years.
Back on topic. Safe mode won't help, sound even does not comes up at start. Factory reset won't help, issue persists. Only when charging sound wont go off.

Maybe you have a bad device?
Never seen that issue on mine or on wife's, but my sample size is 2 ....

Yes post it in google forums products and obvious answer came up like "safe mode", bla, bla, bla.
Already done an RMA. I won't bother myself doing anything else than updating via OTA with this Google device.
Thankfully the Google representative was really really nice and did all the tedious work a pleasure :laugh:

Same here. Sound won't work after a while. Reboot helps.
No errors during flashing the factory image. Even the keyboard upgrade worked flawlessly.

Sound Issue
I had a sound issue yesterday on my tablet, which may or may not be the same thing.
No media sounds coming out of the speakers, even though the volume was turned up high, odd thing was notifications still seemed to work - i.e. calendar reminders still made the notification sounds and trying to change notification sounds also played the sounds as usual.
Grabbed my headphones and plugged them in and media sound was OK - removed headphones again and speakers were back.
I had been been using my tablet to watch movies on a flight back home with my headphones and assume that for some reason the tablet did not identify the removal event - so still had the speakers blocked!!

No errors too when flashing my unit. But there the problem was.
Regarding about plugging headphones in and out, and reverting sound back to normal, did not work for me. But when sound was working after restart and headphones were plugged, before every media sound was played a clacking noise appears.

I came here to post the same issue. At first I thought it was a third party app, however it is not. I'm currently in contact with Nexus Support and will update when I have an answer.
Edit: contacted Google Support and, of course, trouble shooting came down to a factory reset. I will try this and update if the issue was resolved.

Didn't work for me

I'm experiencing the lost sound problem. Please let us know if the problem returns on your new unit. Haven't decided whether to RMA mine.

Update here was working flawlessly. I activated Google now when screen off and issue returned. Seems to be software. But I don't understand why the factory reset on the other unit didn't fixed it. Try turning that option off.

I thought this had happened to me too but then after reading through this and someone mentioned audio blocking I remembered that I had this button called Pressy installed in my headphone jack, once I removed it, the sound worked again!

Bluetooth / Internet Issue

Every time I try to play music with my Bluetooth speaker, the audio keeps breaking. And this stops immediately when i turn the Internet off. Is there a fix for this?

If you mean it happens only with Wi-Fi turned on and no problem on LTE, yes. Happening to me and some other people. Right out of the box, no rooting or anything.
Have no clue, except it feels more like a Wi-Fi problem rather than Bluetooth. Hoping it gets fixed with an update. So far no luck. I might try factory reset and see what happens.

I wouldn't bother with the factory reset, same thing happens to me and I did the factory reset and still same issue. So it must be a hardware/software issue.
Weird thing is, if I have WiFi on but not actually connected to anything I don't have any issues.

Just use 5Ghz WiFi... some routers interfere with bluetooth

It happens with both wifi and LTE. It's strange how they still haven't fixed this issue after 2 months of release and major Oreo update.

I had the Problem on nougat firmware, that my bt audio glitched when i lost wifi connection or when it connected automatically. however i dont experience this issue on the oreo firmware.
