You usually come up with such bugs when a new firmware is released. Have you tried repairing your phone with Sony Companion ? That might fix it.
Quote me in case you expect a reply!
Good Luck

Thanks for help
Me too wondering Sony will ever provide a fix ever

I have the same problem (using Z1 Compact and 4.4.4). I thought it's isolated to my devices but apparently is something wider.
Before upgrading my phone to 4.4.4 everything was fine.
Buy call handling pro
I have exactly the same issue... Samsung galaxy SIV @ GE 4.4.4....
Bug in Android 4.4.4
After update sw2-app is working, if someone calls, there is an notification on the watch, no more app crash or FC.
«««naTapatalk'owane na Nexus 7(2013)»»»
After updating SW2, the incoming call will appear on the face, but without contact photos.
SONY YUGA Z AOKPk 4.4.4 + Sony SmartWatch 2 s firmware 1.0.B.5.28
Fortunately, that has been running for Android 4.4.4. We must wait for second updated.
with the new update for the sm2, the call-app is working again for me!

Call Waiting Problem in CM12 or any Lollipop based ROM!!

I have been facing this issue from the time I installed CM12 or any CM12 based ROM. Pretty surprised that there are two or three mentions of this problem in some of the threads but non has replied. Don't know whether its a bug or some intermittent issue. Problem is When I am on a call and a new call comes in(call waiting), my call goes on HOLD automatically and if I reject the new call, my already active call didn't work. I have to disconnect the call and call the person again. This problem is very annoying.
Can anyone please help.

I'm having the exact same problem and have been searching for a solution but no luck. Because of this reason I've been having to go back to KitKat. Does anyone have a solution for this? I have the lollipop one plus modem that I flash every time I flash any lollipop rom
That's what happens when you volunteer to test alpha firmware.
An easy workaround is disable call waiting bc it sucks anyway. Nobody likes to be put on hold. You can have interruption-free calling and extra incoming callers get an old-fashioned busy tone.
Did anyone filed bug for this..

Anyone using a rooted Xperia Z2 and SW2 ???

Morning all.
I Have just purchased a second hand SW2 and I'm having big problems getting it to work with my rooted (6.0.1) Z2.
I've installed Smart connect and the Smartwatch 2 app.
I cant get call handling to work. Have uninstalled it and reinstalled it but nothing comes through to the phone.
I'v installed Messaging and that kind of works. I can see messages sometimes, but even then I cant reply and I can only get to see recent messages by turning bluetooth off n back on.
The weather app again works when it wants too.
Is this how it is or am I missing something stuppidly simple ??????
Thanks
I use specific Handling app and another for SMS

Help - no sound, no aux, no mic, no recording

Hi all,
Recently purchased an Xperia XZ second hand which has a couple issues that I think are related and software based.
-no sound through speakers
-no sound though headphone jack
-no sound being recorded through mic
-inability to record videos (error message stating recording or recording related function may be in use by another app)
I received the phone factory reset on Nougat then updated to Oreo and factory reset the phone again. Each time the problems still persisted so I know its not any third party applications as there weren't any downloaded. Also, I've tried turning off Google voice recognition from any screen and it was already off anyway.
This definitely seems like a software fault so I'd really like to be able to solve it.
All help is greatly appreciated!

OK, that means that it is locked. However, it could have been unlocked and relocked without restoring the TA. That could be the cause of the camera problems, but it should not be the cause of the other problems.

Yes, try this. You should use the 'software repair' option in the update section to force a clean install of the latest firmware.

Been busy so I haven't gotten round to trying anything as yet - Just been walking around with the XZ and my Z3...
What does the software repair actually do? Just wondering because I had already done a clean install of the latest firmware. I flashed it with UK firmware to get the fingerprint scanner working and it has since received the March OTA update so it's all up to date. To be clear though, the same problems were present on both the Nougat USA firmware as well as the Flashed Oreo UK firmware.
It's been a couple months now, been busy with school.
I tried the xperia companion repair and no luck. The repair wiped the OS and reinstalled the latest version (I guess that is how it repairs the phone), I set it back up with my google account etc. All the problems are still present.
I know this is not a third party app because the problem persists even when factory reset.
I know it's not firmware related because the problem persists on Android 7 and 8 US versions as well as 8 UK version (installed for fingerprint reader).
Just a reminder of current symptoms:
No sound through the internal speakerphones
No sound through the auxiliary 3.5mm jack
When attempting to play a song from the sony music app it says "cannot play song"
When on facebook it says some sort of error occurs when trying to play a video with sound
Any other videos played from the phones album or online (youtube etc) normally play but with no sound
I cannot record video as the device says "Cannot record. Recording or a recording-related function may be in use by another application".
When the phone receives a call through facebook messenger the call fails as soon as I hit answer
ALSO..... when going through the Sony Xperia diagnostics - If I click to test the speakers, I hear no sound. If I click to test the microphone, the app becomes unresponsive and freezes till I exit.
However, I can play music via bluetooth and have been doing so for the past couple weeks with no problem whatsoever. Notification sounds come through the bluetooth device (wireless speaker or car speakers) with no problem too.
It's been a while now so I really need to sort it out before I just sell up and do something else.
But I'm going on holiday in about two weeks so, without time to get another phone and whatnot, it's looking like I'll just have to carry my old Xperia Z3 with me for backup........

Hmm so now it's working?
small update with my XZs, it fixed itself after a few months, idk what happened lol.
Just last week though it broke again. It started when I was charging it, the phone began emitting a weird static sound.
For some reason youtube videos don't play as well. They will load but will not play even when pressing the play button. It's stuck with the buffering icon thingy.

Android Q Developer Preview 3 coming to Xperia XZ3

https://developer.sony.com/develop/android-q-beta
Someone tried it?
https://youtu.be/W6BzFQqtOKg
I tried, but the problem is that the Xperia Companion gives me an error saying that my device doesn't support Developer Preview.
I will try to flash a non Operator customized firmware.

That's what you will need to do. Carrier branded firmware not eligible for beta
Anyone try Camera2 probe APP on Android 10 Beta?
Maybe support RAW?lol
Mine had EE UK firmware, I changed to Custom US firmware to try the Q preview mode.
All I can say is that it's not worth to leave 9 behind just yet. It's pretty much stock Android without Sony stuff in it, kinda miss it already, but all in all I only noticed one bug.
Connecting earphones with Jack will still have the speakers playing music, but you're fine with Bluetooth connection.
The gesture thingy is pretty weird by the way, fortunately there's the option to go to the classic three buttons.
Don't know if this answers you question but here's a snapshot of the raw Info
Tried it last night, some of the open issues makes it quite unusable.
Setup wizard can sync down backup data from google account/cloud, but not restore via BT/Wifi from other Xperia device
Delay with black background after the “Android Beta” information is shown before entering home screen
Camera functionality and quality are limited compared to Xperia SW
Camera button press is not starting camera, but double press on power button starts camera
Chromecast does not work for audio/video as cast icon is not shown
Media playback support is not on par with Xperia SW.
External SDcard is not fully supported for media playback and MTP
Audio routing with PHF is not fully working
Adoptable storage is not supported
Sd card is basically useless. So is dual sim.

Thank you bro.
It looks still not support raw
Hope xz3 can use Gcam on Q
This is a copy from the website and seems to not give a full actual experience..... I've been using all day and it runs well .... The Google cam app that's in it is crap bit I've installed open camera and it works great ...... And I can also play videos and use the SD card as normal ... No issues ....... Google camera does not seem to be compatible as of yet .... Until it's developed specifically for Sony I guess
It seems more stable than the Android P Beta that was pushed for Xperia XZ2 Premium. I have it installed and using it without too many issues yet either. SD card is normal but camera is very basic. All apps installed and are running well also which wasn't the case with P Beta.
Out of curiosity, how many versions do Betas usually get?
I rolled back already btw, I was already missing all the quirks that Sony brought to this phone. Also that bug I mentioned earlier - about having headphones connected *physically* and still having sound coming out of the phone speakers - was annoying me.
I installed it right after it was announced and only sort of regret it. It's stable-ish but so many things have been made useless. I just got the xz3 two weeks prior so I'm still in my adjustment phase. I think I'll stick it out until the next beta in June. Lack of SD card slot use, camera that barely works... It's not pretty.
Beta time-line described here:
https://developer.android.com/preview/overview
I rolled back as well. I have been with Sony phones for twelve years and like the skin and apps also. I do enjoy test driving the new Android version as well but only temporarily.
In order to Flash a Customized UK version & update to Q, I unlocked the bootloader . Guys, do you know a way to lock it back, since Flashtool doesn't support it and also when I try from command lines it gives me command not found. Do I have a chance to restore it back to original state ?
Don't think so. No need to unlock bootloader to flash another regional firmware.
The folder 'c:\ProgramData\SonyMobile\Update Engine\[date]\localstorage\' contains the firmware downloaded by the Xperia Companion stored in *.file ~ 2.3 GB. I extracted and seems to be all the files that FlashTool downloads. Did someone tried to flash Android Q like this ?
Does it have Wifi calling for T-Mobile USA?

I don't know if it's network related or not, I'am on US firmware and Wi-Fi calling feature is missing. On Original firmware the feature was present.
