Won't send MMS messages & Netflix won't playback videos D851

for the backstory: Recently I upgraded from the stock LG G3 D851 to CloudyG3 but short after doing that I noticed the terrible battery performance because of 5.0 lollipop. So I decided to get Fulmics which I am currently using now. I've been using it for a good week but i noticed two things that do not work now but have worked before. My Netflix and MMS.
When I go to Netflix and try to play a video, it just loads it infinitely. I tried resetting the device, uninstalling the app, changing setting in my AdAway. Nothing worked. And for MMS, I have it set up properly because I can receive images from people but I cannot send one to them. It just says sending indefinitely and informs me that it has failed after a long period of time.
Now, I don't know if this is because of installing Fulmics or the device being faulty because I had an issue with it in the past or something completely different. Any kind of help would be greatly appreciated
Cheers!

Could you point me to the right place? There is a couple Fulmics threads and I don't know if you're talking about the most recent 4.2 update or something else. Thanks

Actually scratch that, I found the fix. Thank you so much!!! And as for the MMS problem I think it's just my phone showing it's age. I've had basically the same issue only with SMS where I was able to receive messages but could not send any.

mms has nothing to do with the age of the phone. Maybe double check if you got the right VPN settings?....

Issue: Fingerprint hardware not available

Would like to ask if anybody experienced the issue "fingerprint hardware not available"?
There's a thread in z5 forum:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/help/fingerprint-hardware-available-t3354800/page11
but seems liker a common problem for whole z5 series...
There are several possible solutions there but nothing works for me. And there is no clear symptom, when is occurs...
Perhaps can anybody share experience?

I have this problem too, im on latest romaur and with the aur kernel and i loose the fingerprint Thing after about 30mins after a reboot. I also get an video error from Youtube so i vant watch videos

Goto google player service and disable body sensor from permission, if the problem persists then downgrade google play service to stock.

Didn't help and Google Play services gets updated automatically again...

I have recently been having the same issue while running v4.1 of ROMAUR, I never upgraded to v4.2.1 and it got considerably worse in the last two weeks. Initially it would happen once or twice a month but then, like you, I started experiencing it every 30 minutes and nothing would solve that issue.
For over a week now I have not had that issue, that is because I have gone back to a stock ROM of 253 and used a stock kernel that simply has recovery and drm fixes. I am rooted and running xposed, problem is with Auras work, whatever he is doing to his ROM is breaking the functionality of the sensor.

I doubt that, because I had been using Romaur 4.2.1 since a while and the sensor worked fine for a really long time until about 2 weeks ago.
Can you share your Google Play Services version?

I do not doubt it, I have seen first hand that it was an issue when I was running ROMAUR and now I am not having a single issue. I updated all my apps, including Google apps via apkmirror, so the same Play Services was running on both ROMAUR and my stock 253, yet not a single issue on stock, so explain that one.

Oh yeah, when I rebooted my phone on stock, it actually boots back up first time, does not act up and loop either like it did on ROMAUR and I have all the same apps running, including Xposed and Viper.

Just to report back:
In another thread in Z5 forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=68299976&postcount=165) there was a solution proposed, and it works for me so far:
Try renaming these files on /system/etc/firmware/
tzwidevine.b00 -> tzwidevine.b00.bak
tzwidevine.b01 -> tzwidevine.b01.bak
tzwidevine.b02 -> tzwidevine.b02.bak
tzwidevine.b03 -> tzwidevine.b03.bak
tzwidevine.mdt -> tzwidevine.mdt.bak
Then reboot.

This seems really to be fix. Havent got the fingerprint problem ever since (should have already had several times, based on the experience in the last weeks). It also solves the youtube video issue.
In addition I found a thread on this on Z2 forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xper...t3290793/page2
Seems to be a bug regarding unlocked bootloader or similar. Don't know what the files really do. But based on knowledge that people solved this with newer .253 ROM and kernel (rootkernel), perhaps SONY has already done something there. Perhaps anybody can check his .253 ROM?
Anyway, thanks to @depotjam.

Anyone else have Bluetooth issues?

I'm on OmniROM, but this would happen on stock as well. Sometimes, the Bluetooth will turn off and stay off until I reboot. Anyone else have this?

I haven't had that problem on Omni. Everything is working fine for me. Maybe it's the bluetooth device that you are using.

Maybe. I only connect to my LG G Watch, and the Bluetooth in my car radio. I'll have to troubleshoot and see which might be causing my issue.
EDIT: I did some reading up and apparently, this is a common Nougat issue that should be patched up in the next few security updates. In the meantime, I read that disabling battery optimization on 'Bluetooth Share' and 'Bluetooth MIDI Services' should help. Did that a few hours ago, and its been OK so far, but I can't say for sure for another day or two.
EDIT2: Alright! Its been two days, and not a single issue. I think that did it!

Same ROM same issue (just once or twice since 2017-03-03), yesterday I just disabled WIFI after that my Bluetooth works fine.

I'll give that a try! The issue has been far less frequent, but it did pop up once today.

I have the same issue with the ROM.

I'm not so sure its an issue with OmniROM. I had it worse on stock. It happens on the Nexus and Pixel phones, too; it's a Nougat issue and Google said in February they're going to address it in a security update. Whenever Google weeds it out, the fix'll be brought in with the OmniROM weekly.

I've got the problem again yesterday, disable WIFI did'nt help; I had to reboot the device to get Bluetooth.

Issues with apps over WiFi after upgrading to Android 9

Hi. At the start of December, I upgraded my Mi A2 Lite to Android 9 and ever since then I have been facing issues with a few apps over WiFi. The following apps are being affected:
- YouTube
- Twitter
- Facebook
- WhatsApp
- Chrome
*These issues are only on my WiFi. On 4G or any other WiFi these issues don't happen*
The issue with Facebook and Twitter is the same. Both won't load any new feed and behave as if my WiFi is not turned on. YouTube only works at times, other times it would just keep loading and nothing would happen. Sending images or videos on WhatsApp is impossible now. It even has troubles making the backup to Google Drive on my WiFi. As for Chrome the issue is that sometimes even though WiFi is turned on, it would not load any page and just say that I'm not connected to internet. I've been reading other people's threads online and even emailed Xiaomi and Google. I tried the steps (hardware test etc) as told in the email by Xiaomi but that has not helped. Some said that using WiFi and Bluetooth at the same time caused this issue but I have used WiFi with bluetooth turned off yet the issue is still there. Now if this was a WiFi issue then I would have contacted my provider but with the same WiFi connection I have not faced a single issue on any other mobile devices and laptops. As for my WiFi I can't seem to change it from ipv6 to ipv4 (or I just don't know how to). If anybody has faced this issue and knows how to solve it then please help, It would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.

Have you tried disabling Bluetooth and then reconnecting to the WiFi in question? Having both enabled at the same time causes WiFi speed transfers to be really bad, it's an already reported Pie bug.

Btw, can u see 5ghz wifi networks?
Cause i can and have same problem with slow wifi+bluetooth

Yes I have turned Bluetooth off and used WiFi like that but the issue is still there with all the apps mentioned

Any update on this? I'm having the same issue. Using a VPN seems to solve the problem but the connection is slower.

I am facing the same problem on my A2 lite Android One Pie. Even the further upgrades including March upgrade did not resolve the issue. It really sucks.
Has anyone found any solution?
Is MI even concerned or acknowledges the issue?
Is there a way to go back to Android 8?

Hello Dear Sajid Abid,
Good Day !
1st Remember One Thing. Downgrade Is Not A Easy Task, Downgrading Has Also A SIM Issue Problem,.But If You Still Want To Go Back Your Mobile Device From Pie To Oreo You Need To Unlock The Boot-Loader (Off-Course Unlocking Boot-Loader Will Void Warranty) Then Download Stock Oreo (From MIUI Forum) And Flash It With The Help Of IMFlash Tool. After Successfully Ported The Stock Oreo Rom You Can Close The Boot-Loader.
All Instructions/Steps Can Be Easily Found On A2 Lite Forum.
Here Is The Link Which Can Help For Resolving SIM Issue Problem.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a2-lite/help/sim-card-issue-downgrading-pie-9-0-t3874350
Have A Nice Day.
Thanks,

[SOLVED] Please Help - WiFi Frequently Disconnecting in Android Pie ROMs

The WiFi on my phone disconnects for about 2 seconds (every 15 minutes or so) for no reason at all. I have the same problem on EVERY single Android Pie ROM such as Lineage, Pixel Experience, AOSiP, AEX, etc. When the phone is in sleep mode the Wi-Fi will NOT reconnect, which means I constantly miss important notifications such as messages from friends. Also, when watching YouTube I keep seeing a message pop up saying 'Back Online' due to the WiFi disconnecting.
I have seen a couple of people on the forums with the same issue, but a solution has not yet been found. I know this is NOT a problem with my home broadband because I don't experience the same WiFi dropouts on other devices.
If anyone knows a solution to this problem, or just has a suggestion, PLEASE let me know as I would REALLY appreciate it.

Hi. Thanks for the response. I will keep that in mind, I can't remember whether I tried Carbon ROM before.
However I have to think this problem is related to something more specific than just ROM, because if this problem was present on all installations of these popular ROMs like Lineage, AEX and Pixel Experience (as I have tested in my own experience) then we would likely see a lot more complaints about it on the forums. So I think the issue is related to something to do with a certain setting or configuration.
It is a VERY frustrating problem because I can't leave my phone for 15 minutes without it disconnecting from WiFi and loosing access to notifications.

Not that this will help but in the past I had issues with Samsung OEM ROMs I flashed using ODIN (equivalent to our QFIL) a firmware from another country and for some reason even though technically my phone WAS compatible, I would have similar results to yours. If I were you I would back up all your data and try a few different QFIL to see if you have any luck. I flashed the LATEST QFIL (not using miflash etc) and have never had any issues with my zuk

Thanks for that. I agree it might be the cause of the issue, something like what you describe. It would make sense because I have only found 2 other people on XDA with the same issue, and the problem happens on every ROM I have tried. I have owned the ZUK Z2 since 2016 and only now, in these past 2-3 months, am I experiencing these problems with Wi-Fi disconnecting.
From what I can see the latest QPST is 3.5.389 ST, so I will try flashing that next week (once I'm back from vacation) and see what happens!

Well, I tried flashing the 3.5.389 ST QPST and then flashing LineageOS 16.0 on top of that, but the problem is still the same. Wi-Fi disconnects for a few seconds whilst using the device, and also whilst the device is in sleep mode. Except when it disconnects in sleep mode, it will NOT reconnect meaning I miss all kinds of notifications until I manually check my device.
The frustrating thing is I don't know for sure whether it's something to do with my home broadband or router. But all of my other devices (such as Windows laptop) STAY connected at the same time my ZUK looses connection. So I have to assume it is software-related on the ZUK.
If I can't solve this soon I will just go out and buy a new phone. I can't deal with missing important notifications. It is sad because I really liked this phone and have kept it for 2½ years. I don't understand why this problem suddenly started because it was fine before.

After you flashed the QPST did you boot into the rom and try using oem zuk to see if it resolved your issue? Apparently that fixes quite a few problems but requires actually booting into the rom. If you flashed an official QTSP using deep flash (not miflash) anf it STILL has that problem then it must be internal hardware. Guessing you have tried connecting to someone elses wifi and it does the same?

Thanks. Well, sometimes I visit a relatives house where I can connect to a different router, but usually I am not there long enough to test whether the phone stays connected. But in response to your other question, I did boot into the ZUI ROM after flashing the QPST. But I didn't test to see whether the problem persisted because I hate ZUI and could never use it on a daily basis when there are other, much better stock Android-like ROMs available.
I was in contact with someone else on XDA who had the EXACT same problem and he suggested trying the latest build of AEX which seemed to solve the issue for him. So currently I'm trying that but I haven't had enough time to test it, yet. So far I have not noticed the phone disconnecting but it has only been about 1 hour since I flashed the ROM. I will know more after a few days of testing.

Switching to AEX made no difference. Still no success despite wiping entire device and flashing stock ROM with QFIL. I have tried almost every Android Pie ROM including LineageOS, AEX, AOSiP and Pixel Experience. I also changed channel on my broadband router. Nothing works.

Then it may be a hardware problem, the antenna wires can be disconnected or damaged. Have you tried a stock Rom?

@1qazwsx4 @bordi21
After an entire year of this problem, I have FINALLY found a solution to my phone disconnecting whilst on home Wi-Fi. Turns out it is nothing to do with the phone or custom ROMs...
In the router settings there is an option called 'Enable IPv6 on LAN side' that is checked by default. I unticked this and now my phone is able to hold connection flawlessly!
