[Q] Problems on .253 - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When someone makes a phone call to me and I try to answer it, the phone either "stutters" and keeps ringing until I push the power button and then on again to answer the call. Also even after answering the call, it vibrates one more time which I find very annoying.
Is it just me or do all XZs vibrate that loud? Vibrations are even more obvious than my ringtone lol.
Another thing is probably related to the hotspot Im using. I use Connectify Hotspot pro for wifi on XZ, it disconnects and becomes unavailable all the time so I have to restart my hotspot everytime.
Anyone else getting these too?

Either a faulty phone or corrupted firmware.

I had this problem with S, T and Z too. Different firmwares.
It's happening when using BT, when another party is calling, when i want to quickly answer etc.
On T for example i had to wait until the call was not answered.
But it's happening maybe twice/month.

Well thats just disappointing.

I dont have any problems with it.
And I'm using connectify too. Have you try flash your fw?

What this guy is sayin is definitely right,I agree with it bein a faulty phone. It could be the firmware though,reset your phone.

It turned out that my laptop could turn off lan adaptor to save battery, so the wifi connectivity is fine but the other problems are still there.

Or not lol... Wifi hotspot disappears all the freakin time when Im downloading something

One Problem about XDAndroid on Topaz

I use 2.1 Eclair. There is one problem. The message and EDGE network are OK. But I can't get any calls. That means someone call me, they can find it's normal by their side, but my phone no ring or anything, just like no calls coming.
What's the problem to that? Please help me.
I like XDAndroid~!
Hello,
This happens to me too. Turns out the speaker is not
working (hence no ringing) and the screen remains
turned off, so no visual cue. But the phone is in fact
ringing and you can answer the call.
I 'solved' the problem by switching on vibration
Regards, jan
I think my phone has some problems. It often goes sleep shortly, about ten seconds.... And the light turn green. When it's asleep and the call comes in, the phone always sleeps. But my phone is awake, the calls can come in.

Thats a known issue, it appears after going to deep sleep you wont receive any calls.
How can I let the phone not deep sleep? I don't want to lose any calls.

Here comes another problem. I have no idea whether it causes the problem that the wifi cannot search any networks in android. But the calls can come in when the phone sleeps now. May I have your help for the wifi problem?
楼主,我的情况还不如你呢!我电话短信都不能用,只有WIFI是好的。
My phone only WIFI is good, can not call and send msg.

[Q]Update to 2.3.4 offcial version - wifi, gps, signal problems

Hello everyone,
So i upgraded my O2X like a month ago... and since then i have had issues with it...
I've upgraded to 2.3.4 from LG official updates... and since my upgrade i've got some serious issue's with my phone..
1. Alot of times i can't send any messages, and i have to retry like 2-4 times before it's working...
2. people can't call me from time to time.... it just hang's up from the person trying to call me...
3. sometimes when talking to somebody, the sound get's all wierd like a scrathing sound with other mixed wierd other sounds... it goes like that for about 5-15 seconds.. Then it stops and and often then i can't her the other person anymore... but sometimes it also goes back to normal..
4. Signal is lost sometimes... the signal bar indicates that their's no phone service.... and then comes back after like 5-15 seconds...
5. wifi aint working anymore... can't use the internet..
6. today i needed to use the gps... but when it finally has found the route i need.. it aint "updating" where im driving..... so i have to close the gps, and then start it again so i can get a update of where the car is located.. its like a "still picture" if you get me...
Please note that i have NOT done any factory reset of the phone after 2.3.4 upgrade... as it cant be true that i need to do such thing everytime an update is launched from LG just to get the phone working....
i dont have anything else installed, like CM or even rooted or anything.. its all stock rom from LG...
Anyone has some ideas or clues of how i can fix these issues?
i have met all of these issues as well. i have to add another issue,"wifi turn off automatically".

Maybe a stupid comment of me , but have you already looked at the wifi-advanced settings? because there you can switch off the "wifi power saving or sleepmode".
You should also check all settings because everything is put back to factory settings..
same freaking issues
What a fail from LG. I bought this phone recently for my wife and I was accusing her being crazy!
I changed all the settigns in wifi for battery effeciency to keept it always on no matter what! wifi keeps disconnecting at times. Even during skype calls and needs to restart wifi(deactivate->activate).
Anyone having a solution for that issues? Otherwise a custom ROM is going to solve this? And if so please propose one for simple use.
It is so FAIL from LG releasing a ROM hat does not work as it should with default values. Android is for users also, not just geeks.

Have you done a 'factory reset' since you updated the device?
You shouldn't lose any stuff on the card, only the applications that were on the phone as such. (But better than sorry to make a backup just in case). Oh of course you will lose contacts unless they are synced with another source as well).
GPS> Make sure you leave the GPS turned on ALL the time. It won't use it unless it has too, and if you start the phone with gps turned off, it won't connect to gps properly. Wifi ? er.. perhaps you need to go into the wifi settings and have a fiddle around with the sleep mode? Or perhaps increase the screen timeout so it doesn't keep disconnecting the wifi so often?
Get a Samsung for sure!!

Factory reset test sound again and see if there is any improvement.

I had the aame problem, and some other members too. We narrowed it down to voip communication (Skype , viber) causing the issue. I recommend kitkat roms, havent had any issues on kitkat regarding that.
A workaround is to trigger speakerphone, then back to normal, mic should work again for some time

[Q] Weird noise from either the speaker or vibration motor

Has anyone else been having weird noise issues with the phone when using the on screen keyboard with haptic feedback enabled?
occasionally, once every 5-10 letter inputs the phone produces a weird noise (similiar to the noise the phone makes when it vibrates, but louder with slightly higher pitch). I only began to notice this after the latest update.
It sounds like it is coming from the speaker
Mine started a few days ago with the same funny but annoying noise. Did you find a solution?
I have the same problem. It was getting louder and louder so I just disabled haptic feedback altogether.
Hi , had the same problem, a month ago. Turns out , as per Sony repair center the vibrator motor was not in place. Turns out this was all bull****. Cause they could'nt get it right , and had to replace the phone eventually.
Same problem.....

Oh snap, I've still been using my phone with that problem, but I think it may be software related because it started after the 4.3 update and also sometimes it stops works altogether but if I restart my phone, it's back to normal.

I had the problem when I first bought the phone, although I don't hear it anymore now though. Maybe the "motor" got into its place when I dropped my phone onto a concrete floor.

Hi Bro,
Personally , i would take it back to Sony. Started off being an intermittent problem on mine, eventually no amount of reboots or flashing 4.3 or 4.4 ftf would stop the noise.
I assume Sony know , its an issue so that's why they swapped my phone without question.

Loudspeaker turning on randomly during call

As the title says it turns on without touching the phone, after calling sb. It never seems to turn on while receiving a call. I am 100% I didn't touch a thong as sometimes it happens while I have the phone in hand and I can clearly see that the loudspeaker is activated as soon as I place the call. I read it's a common problem. Anyone found any soulution? Do you have it too?

+1 no solution so far
It was chrome. Latest update fixed it

Some say it could be a short or something on the USB port. I cleaned mine (lint and things) and it seemed to help... But it happened again and it's clean as whistle so I'm hopping it's chrome. I haven't had an issue since it's last update, seems weird though.
