I know bluetooth issues have been fixed (bluetooth turns on and of without FC, and it connects to a device...).
That is all great and it is working for me, but the issue i am having is that when in is paired with my car bluetooth system, first time it connects like a charm, but when i turn off my car and come back in a few hours it will not connect automatically... even if i try to manualy connect it takes about 10 tries to connect it, and all this time it is nicely paired...
Did anyone actualy test bluetooth like this, or is it still work in progress and this issue will be fixed with further developing?
P.S. on any other ROM that is not AOSP, this feature is working with no problems...
Then as you said, it must be an AOSP issue - I suggest to inform the devs (if they have a bug tracker).

So I of course love my Thunderbolt, but I have one issue I can't seem to fix. My phone connects to my trucks headunit over Bluetooth for talk and audio. Once I start Pandora or the native music app, about 20 seconds later the phone says "Bluetooth Headset Disconnected" and thats that. Anyone else having this issue and are there any known fixes yet?
this just started happening to me after using BT successfully for months. i have tried pairing and repairing. initial pair connects headset and media, but after a few seconds i see the message headset disconnected.... the media profile is still paired but not headset.
any ideas?
thanks,
eric
i have this issue as well, but i'm running bamf 1.6.2... i wasn't going to say anything itll i was on CM again (it did work when i was on CM previously)
Try unpairing, then repairing - this time deny any requests to let your car access the TB's phonebook via bluetooth. That solved it for me.
happens to me every once in a while.
stock
no root.
i have to turn bt off and then back on and it reconnects without issue.
I pair my phone with my car (VW Golf 6) and can listen to music. After a short while, maybe 2-10 minutes, it randomly loses the connection. The problem first started with CarbonRom, so i decided to flash stock rom with ElementalX Kernel and the problem persists, even with Franco's Kernel the connection drops. 1-2 weeks ago, i haven't had this issue and was on stock + franco.
The logcat seems very overfilled with bluetooth message, but I can't understand a thing or what it causes the problems.
Thank you!
Mine does that also not sure why though, but I'm on Mahdi Rom.
I've done a factory reset of my car's radio and it seems to be stable. I will keep an eye on that and report after some days..
Does it give you the bluetooth share has stopped error message?
Nope, the connection just drops and the car thinks they are still connected. I have to restart my car to reconnect again.
The issue seems to be fixed by resetting my car's radio to factory defaults. Since then I had no issues.
BT problems are often related to the BT devices itself. You should sometimes try it with other phones i.e.
It seems that i.e. moto 360 is good to go with the n5 but bad with lg g3. reviewers said lost connection 20x/day.
Hi all,
Been reasonably happy with the z3 so far but I'm having problems with Bluetooth connectivity, specifically in my car. I'm used to an iphone, which works flawlessly, but the z3 only seems to be able retain a connection for 10 mins before slowly reconnecting. It's become frustrating as it restarts some of my tasker profiles(?).
Has anyone else had similar issues? Are there any known fixes for this?
I've tried turning off stamina, wifi, bluetooth timeout, display timeout, re-pairing my device - nothing has helped!
Cheers,
Russ

The normal Stamina mode (not ultra) won't disconnect any connection just limit background process.
This can be bug in firmware So try to repair it by PC companion
+ and a question; is this happen with another bluetooth devices or just with car?
cause if it happen with car it can be software compatibility & ...
Thanks for the reply. I thought I would update.
I did try checking for firmware updates but I found a different solution shortly after. I downloaded the 'Xperia Z1 Bluetooth Fix' from the google play store, installed it and selected the Tune2Air device (when it was in range). Since then I've had no reconnecting problems! I have no idea what the app has done but it has completely solved the issues I was having. I suggest giving it a go if you are having similar symptoms. :good:

I get this all the time, constant every couple of seconds when connected to my Mercedes Comand unit..
I will download this app and test it out, hopefully it sorts it.
I have Volvo V40 and when I step in my car with my bluetooth on, I see on my Z3 Bluetooth connect and then disconnect. This repeats all the time. When I then disable bluetooth and enable, the problem is gone. I don't know for sure, but what I have see on my car's phone menu, although I get these disconnects on my phone , the disconnects are not noticed by my car. But again, I didn't look into that yet. Do you have similar problems?
Hi all,
Great to know im not crazy bcuz im having the same issues in my toyota as the volvo. My phone automatically tries to pair & sometimes this works flawlessly, yet other times it connects, stalls, then spends an age tring to reconnect & all the while the cars head unit still perceives a connection. What i hav noticed is that i get great connections (fast & from where i left off) when i pause before switching off my car. If i dont pause then i need to manually connect even if the phone says its pairing with my car. Iv come from a nokia n8 which worked flawlessly however i could not control the volume from the phone which i can do from the z3 & i was wondering if the problem could be with either the phone or stereo having conflicting memory of what was last played, volume level , etc. As there must be data stored somewhere on either or both devices.
Look at this page for an explanation of Sony, seems to be a problem from the bluetooth version of the car:
https://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xper...s-connecting-disconnecting/td-p/853609/page/2
I dont think its necessarily the car as the problem i outlined is resolved if i pause the playing music before cutting power. I should correct an earlier comment. My problem is with playing music from my phones harddrive via a player such as the native music player, vlc music player, music visualiser, etc rather than streaming music so im not sure what peolpe using cloud services or internet radio can do.
Does anyone know why pausing the music before leaving the car is necessary when in my experience using bluetooth 3.0 didnt require this?
Hi Folks,
Anyone had any similar problems? When my Z5 is connected to my VW Golf it constantly disconnects and reconnects, tried rebooting the phone, un-pairing and re-pairing still no joy
Just wondered if it was a bug sony needed to be aware, it's as if it's a power save feature that turns it off and on?
Cheers in advance.
Mine stays connected to my van fine
I use one of these in my car -> http://www.amazon.com/SoundBot-Bluetooth-Hands-Free-Wireless-Streaming/dp/B00RH29CJO
No problem so far, it stays connected
I´we got the same problem with my Z5 and Pebble Time
I also have bluetooth streaming issues. Connections initiated by the phone seem to work fine. Those initiated by the car do not. Have zero issues with a Nexus 5. I believe the issue may be related to the "Throw" service.
My Z5 only connects to my Nissan Qashqai 50% of the time. My previous HTC M8 would connect every single time, but Z5 has to have bluetooth turned on/off to work with the car. It's incredibly annoying and I hope it can be improved with software
Sony will probably have to fix it in next update...
I have the same issue with a garmin watch but only since the update I had yesterday, same with the car stereo again since yesterday
Sent from my Sony Z5 ooossshhhh

Tried disabling the "throw" function and it's still doing the same.... really annoying !!!
Hope Sony are reading...
My Bluetooth keeps my device awake, which renders my Android Wear kinda useless

I have a 2014 mini and the Bluetooth doesn't have any connectivity issues, but I definitely have bugs with music skipping, especially if I have maps open or something. Better than the initial 5.0 Bluetooth bugs but still really annoying. Probably my main gripe with this phone so far other than the fingerprint scanner
I have exactly the same issue as the OP with my garmin watch it connects then disconnects every 5min or so, whats weird is if i unpair and repair the connection is good for about 3hrs then starts playing up...
I also have a nexus 6 which i've tested with lollipop 5.1.1 and marshmallow and it works perfectly, my HTC M8 i used to have did exactly the same issue's as this sony, its got something to do with the trusted device settings i think the nexus doesn't ever ask about trusted devices both the HTC and this Sony do so it can't be just coincidence...
Is there anyway to disable the trusted setup on the device ? Garmin are saying to connect via there garmin connect app and don't actually connect with the phones bluetooth directly, i've tried that still doesn't work properly... frustrating...
I also have the same problem in my BMW.
Additionally, when I start call using built-in handsfree it suddenly switches to the phone's speaker then after 10 second back to handsfree.
Hope Sony fix this soon.
Does anyone know if its possible to install a apk or whatever it needs to be so that you get rid of whatever modifications sony have done to the bluetooth process the only reason i ask is i know through my nexus 6 that the bluetooth works perfect from google so replacing the Sony setup with the pure google setup should cure the bluetooth issue's or if there is anyway to disable the trusted devices issue that i'm sure is causing my bluetooth problems this is annoying me enough to consider getting rid of this phone... Excuse me ignorance i'm not clever enough to understand if this is an impossible task...
Don't know if this will work for others but last night i unpaired everything bluetooth on my phone switched the bluetooth off restarted my phone switched the bluetooth on and re-paired and now the 2 things i had issue with are working flawlessly since about 6pm last night... ???

Similar issue with pebble time, every so often it disconnects. My only doubt is which of the two is failing the pebble or the phone.
No problem with car in-calls or audio bluetooth.
I have a Z5 and I have pretty much the same issue with a 2010 Jag XF, phone connects via BT for a differing period of time then disconnects, sometimes reconnecting sometime not.
I've not had this happen during a call, and not with other Sony Xperia Z's I've owned.
Also I don't appear to have this with other items connected Via BT.
'I aslo have problems with the BT. The z5 will pair with my garmin edge 520, after that it can't find it no more and can't connect.
With my Stereo amplifyer, NAD D3020 it can connect as it does not require pairing but the connection is poor and i get alot of artifacts when i play music over it.
For the Edge 520 it stops everytime it ask for Trusted device.
My phone is in for warrenty repair, Was for a cracked rear glass, but i told them about the problems with the BT too. The phone is on it's way back now. Hope this will fix the issue. If the BT don't work, the Z5 won't be usefull for what i want to do with it.
I know with my garmin, garmin told me not to connect with the phone directly just the connect app, weirdly my watch has been working perfect for about 3 days and now this afternoon is playing up again I've installed nothing new or changed any settings baffling

Similar problem here with my Android Wear and my Cartio Strip. Continuosly disconnect, B icon on status bar disappear, then re-appear after 1 - 2 min.
Someone known how to disable throw?
Thanks
Hi, I've found that miui is bugged as hell. I figure out that all problems that I found are related to the bluetooth.
Problem 1: troubleshooting connecting to car's infotainement (Audi a3 propetary infotainement) Evidence: I know for sure that car infotaiment work perfectly. Description: when I turn in bluetooth the the buttons get a cyan color and flicker, It's the animation when It's loading, pairing with devices. It never turns full blu and never Connect. It seems that can't properly pair. BUT, sometimes it connects fast, sometimes I spend lotterally 1 hour to turn it on off until it decides to Connect. It seems that muiu struggel a lot to pair.
Problem 2: projecting to tv lots times don't work at all When I try to Project the smartphone to My Samsung tv and I tap on the tv name on to pari it start to load but it never connects. Whole my dad with a huawei tried after me and connected in a Second. Also this problem seems to be related to the bluetooth, while something it connects fast, sometimes it doesn't Connect at all
HELP ME
