Hi there,
I am using a Sony Xperia XZ to sometimes stream e.g. youtube to a Philips Smart-TV (55PUS6551). This works very well. The TV has a built-in cromecast.
But in the last week the phone messes with this functionality:
While browsing in firefox or streaming music via bluetooth to a radio, the phone connects to the TV and it will switch from HDMI to "cromecast-mode" (don't know better to describe). But I do not want to stream to TV, just want to browse.
Weeks before this was never a problem. It might have to do something with the latest updates I suppose.
As a workaround I terminated the background-prozess "screenmirroring" in the cache. But that process comes back again automatically.
How can I deactivate the screenmirroring/miracast from the Sony Xperia XZ to that Philips Smart-TV? Can I "untrust" that device? Or is there a fix for that problem or an app, where I can deactivate/activate screenmirroring/miracast?
Regards, Jens

I'm curious to find out if it's possible to stream audio from my (networked) Sony Bravia KDL-32W650A to my M8. I'd like to be able to sync the audio so I can use headphones with the phone, so I don't disturb my wife and daughter while watching late at night. Using a direct headphone connection is out of the question, as I have a rather large K9 that likes to roam and trip over any wires running across the floor. Since I already have TV SideView and Smart Remote on my handset to control the TV, it would be nice to be able to stream the audio back to it.
Any suggestions?
On edit: It appears that this should be possible (mirroring) via Miracast, but appears that it may be broken in Sense 6.

What I know, you can send audio and video from android devices to TV, but not from TV to devices.

I'm aware of that, but I want to stream in the other direction (just audio). I know Koush was/is working on integrating this into his AllCast app, but I think it only works with FireTV.
I'm for almost a year trying to stream my webradio for my LG Smart TV DLNA certified using my xperia Z3 , and the closest I got was hearing the webradio on my Android device but it seems impossible to transmit it to my TV via DLNA . Is there any way to solve this situation? Am I doing something wrong?
Hello xda,
I recently put Bluetooth into an old boombox from the eighties. It works great, except with my galaxy s4.
Bluetooth keeps on disconnecting, rapidly reconnecting and disconnecting again whenever I try to stream via Google play music or YouTube for example. My s4 disconnects the bluetooth device whenever the audio takes too much time to start streaming, which is always the case as I have a poor internet connection.
Why do I think it is related to the time it takes for audio to start streaming ?
- The boombox works fine with local files on my galaxy s4
- Streaming audio works fine when my s4 is connected to 4g or faster wifi, when there is no long buffering before a song starts playing.
- It works fine on all other devices I tested (nexus 10, laptop, moto g....), even when music has to buffer for 30+ seconds before it starts playing.
Pausing a song works fine though, and it stays connected for hours when nothing is being played
It must be related to my phone, it has the original Samsung lollipop firmware but it is rooted and has xposed installed (of course).
A factory reset is not an option, I have done way too many tweaks for that.
Has anyone been having this problem?
Is it possible to install a newer/different Bluetooth firmware?
Or does anyone know an app/ xposed module that prevents the phone from disconnecting a bluetooth device on it's own ?
Thank you in advance,
nxss4

Sony Xperia ™ XZ and X Performance 7.0 Nougat is a serious Bluetooth issue in the update Sony has been confirmed by developers.
According to this, XZ and XP 7.1.1, Z5 series 7.0 update is delayed until the Bluetooth problem is solved
XZ and XP owners have a Bluetooth problem?

Yes. Me 2. Bluetooth pairing with a Sony Bluetooth Speaker is horrible. Interpreter in the songs. Some lags at with Apps and Home Screen and I think battery life is not so good as MM.
Awkward :S Have updated to 7.0 no Problems at all feels a lot smoother than MM and no problems with Bluetooth. Battery life is the same if not better (didnt check it since i can use it without problems for atleast a day)
I use my XZ Dual with bluetooth speakers and have no problems at all.

I have different problem,
when using bluetooth headphones (Sony brand) WiFi is disconnecting
I tried Youtube service, need to disconnect and then again connect WiFi every minute, that is how it works :/
Pairing with a bluetooth device wether headsets,headphones or speakers has mispairing issue or it takes several attempts till it discover the bluetooth device.
I'm wondering if anyone has problems with their car kit and xz premium.
I had a nexus 5X which always worked flawlessly regardless of android version or rom.
My car only allows headset connectivity, no stereo audio for music, just calls.
So here's the problem, since having the Sony I can make calls fine but incoming calls are troublesome.
I have to answer the call (car or phone controls) then switch from bluetooth to speaker (car keeps ringing) then answer again using the car controls, then swap speaker to Bluetooth on the handset. Then it stops ringing (car not handset) and the audio is routed correctly.
Any one have the same or found a fix?
I have never had any issue with the XZP for handling BT calls, switching music or any other apps in the Car. The only issue, though minor, is once in a while the Song info doesn't come in my car display.
Bluetooth music did not work in latest BMW 530i and Sony xz premium.
Sony xz worked good in the same car.
there is definitely something going on with Bluetooth and XZ premium
I haven't had any issues, I have been using it for both calls and music in my car and with various headsets without a problem. My wife has the phone too and hasn't had any problems with Bluetooth, connecting to either of our cars for calls and music.
My Mercedes BT media interface will freeze BT searching in XZP and stream doesn't work at all.

On my Kenwood unit, after pairing and allowing contacts share, some show up ok but I also have the majority showing name as blank and (No Number).
Not sure but going to try disconnecting and pairing again.

I have tried a factory reset of the Kenwood unit in the car but the issue remains.
Anyone got any ideas please? [emoji3]

There are some Bluetooth issues and it seems to be the phone. Had mine a week and a few times its not auto paired and on a few other occasions when playing music the track names are not updating on the car display. Never happened on my S6 with Nougat.
Bluetooth looks massively updated in Android O, hope Sony gets us the update quickly.

This is the problem I have. Got the latest 420d and the phone section works appart from no phone book access. No incoming call Ringtones. No connected drive app support and you cant play music from the phone using Bluetooth
Bluetooth issues have been bothering me since I upgraded from Xperia Z3 to XZ Premium. I have an android car head unit and the Z3 worked flawlessly for calls and media audio but the XZP will only give me media audio no matter what I try.

Bloody annoying or what?
I have the issue with my (both new) xz premium & renault megane. Phone connects to media settings, but not the phone settings then approx 3 mins later disconnects everything. It also won't show any album artwork/artist info. I hope Sony fix this soon as I'm about to scream.
Do the issues persist after the last updates? I plan to buy a XZP but I need bluetooth in my car so it will definitely guide my choice!
Hi. My XZP has updated to android 8 and now the Bluetooth works as expected ?
Oreo did not bring any change the problems persist

This did the trick for me: changed to BT AVRCP Ver 1.5
Spotify BT integration: Xperia XZ Premium G8141 (8.0.0 build 47.1.A.12.75) - BMW330e 2017
1. Enable developer mode:
system - about phone - build number - tap 7 times at "build number"
2. Set Bluetooth AVRCP to ver 1.5:
system - developer options - Bluetooth AVRCP Version - select "AVRCP 1.5"
3. Delete existing BT pairing and make a new one
Done!
