I had same problem after update to lollipop and try everything mentioned before and nothing helped. Then I low down speaker volume ( volume key down) while call is active and that worked for me. I suppose that lollipop have some problem with duplexer. Level of sound in speaker is litle low but at least caller can understand me normally.

Greetings, I hope you are fine.

I'll just let you know my experience with that, I had a similar one to yours. Instead my voice was stuttering and ghostly, like something came out of Paranormal activities. xD

The only solution I found to this was that it was a problem with the hardware itself, IE. the mic of your phone. Maybe you wanna give your phone to the warranty company and see what they say about it. In my case, they fixed it and it's working fine now.

I hope I helped :)

Yours. ;)
[XDA Assist] FEFERNAN87:
Hi! I've got myself in trouble. :crying: I've researched the forums and Google without success.

Long story short: The phone ran out of storage constantly. I'd successfully rooted the device.

The Mt657xRepartition_EN.apk used to repartition the storage got the phone stuck at the boot logo.

I can enter in recovery (Power + Volume Up) but I do not have the stock ROM to flash it back, nor I know how to use the ADB listed as one of the recovery options.

The ROM was identified as: e1911_v77_mt6628_hjy1_9p017_v20

I've photos from the phone and internal label, but as a new poster, I cannot offer the links in this message yet.

I'd no luck in finding it anywhere. It's frustrating...

Would a kind soul with the same phone provide me a copy of the firmware and point me to a tutorial on flashing it back to the phone?

I do not want to mess with the repartitioning anymore, just get the phone back to a working state so my daughter can use it again, despite it's limitations. It's a fine phone but it's awfully limited by the poor partitioning scheme of it's 4GB memory.

Any assistance will be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madness231:
So I recently flashed a custom for my phone. I correctly followed all instructions in the video that act as a guide for flashing the rom. The only instruction that I was not able to do was to make a backup of its EFS. Now my phone is having Unknown Baseband Version as well as its IMEI which sometime appears Unavailable or a random numbers appears.

In addition, I flashed my phone after updating via Samsung Kies and resulted into an error. From 2.3.3 to the update version available for my phone. I dont if I have done a bad thing when I flashed a custom rom after an update failure.

Sorry for asking noob questions as well as for my bad english. Thank you in advance.

After updating to lollipop 270 people tell me that they have hard time understanding what I say in voice calls. The microphone test is OK but I still have problems. I tried to turn off the noise suppression but no effect. Anyone else with this problem?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demon148:
I too have had this problem, although I am not sure if what I have done is a solution, but so far its working fine. Anyway what I have found is that if I go into Settings>More>Mobile Networks>Network Operators for some reason I had been lowered to a 2G network instead of 3G or 4G. This worked for me so far however as I said I am not sure if it is a solution.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NexusGTS:
It is not that for me because I have full signal strength and I did a test on 2 and 3g and the problem persist.

I alsi have the same problem, almost every one tells me that they hear me stuttering on phone...... Please some 1 help us fix that issue btw this only happened after I got lollipop..
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NexusGTS:
Same here bro. In initial lollipop build the call quality was OK but now I barely can talk. Hope that Sony will fix it in next update
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slugspine:
Same for me. People telling me that they cannot udnerstand me when calling.

I tried once to switch from 4G to 3G and then the person I called understood me. I will have to verify if this is maybe a work-around.

I did the Microphone check and it seems to work. I assume it is not a microphone issue. It seems to be some kind of (gsm) voice call transfering thing...

Anyway.. I enver had this problem before (on KitKat)...

Edit:

I just checked the Sony support forum.

There is a work-around for this that says disabling noice cancellation and other sound enhancements as well as setting the equalizer to normal can fix the problem.

Also Switching back to WCDMA only helped some people...
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demon148:
Can confirm this works and thank you, this has been a ***** for people on the other end of the calls.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NexusGTS:

[Galaxy S 5 General] mastawindu:
Dear fellow xda members,

You might have noticed, it is impossible to use the "turn off" option for S planner, therefore one has to find a way to instal another calendar app without the annoying double reminders/ double notifications effect. I came across this problem and found a simple workaround that doesn't require root.

Here's how :

1- Open S planner

2- Hit the upper right corner (options) and go to calendars

3- Un-tick all the calendars

4- Hit setting and disable all reminders and notifications

5- Go to Settings/app settings/all and find the 2 "S Planner" entries

6- For first S Planner entry hit "force close", "turn off" and "clear data"

7- For the second entry hit "force close" and "clear data" (unfortunately there is no possibility to turn this one off)

8- Instal Google Calendar from the Maket or any other calendar app and voila !

I like S planner but I had to stop using it because there is no way to activate an auto reminder setting. So if you forget to set it manual when you create your event, it won't be reminded to you in advance. I know Google Calendar and MIUI calendar have this option.

This issue was related in the following threads :

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/help/s-planner-dont-notification-stock-t1908516/page3

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/help/auto-default-reminder-s-planner-adding-t2001705

Hope this helped
[Galaxy S 5 General] josephkarthic:
There is a problem with your step 7.

If you hit "clear data" then all the settings for the app will be reset, which means the "untick all calendars" in step 3 and notifications setting in step 4...everything will be back to normal ...so its useless to do "clear data"..

Even if you do just force stop in step 7, and when you install google calendar the splanner will trigger and continue to run in background(and will import all the calendars again) but will not disturb you if you disabled the notifications in the app...So technically its still running in the background as google calendar....only thing is its not notifying you if you have disabled that setting.....

Thank you in advance

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Anticro:
I've never played with it but I think you first might have to configure your Mac. IMHO it's made a bit too tricky by Apple.

Go to the Bluetooth settings panel "Sharing", configure the bluetooth sharing point for the "BT file transfer" option. That's the folder that should be made searchable by your device. Then start the BT file transfer service with the Start-button and try to browse the files of your Mac.

Hi,

Just installed Developer M Preview on my Nexus 6

Not getting hardly any 4G on Vodafone in the UK

Takes ages to go onto 4G then hardly ever goes back on when it comes off

Should I flash an existing radio file ? Any tips ? The radio file from Verizon update basically acted the same

Any ideas would be appreciated thanks.

PS its a UK model Nexus 6 64gb if that's relevant.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Just try any radio to see if its better. If not, probably not much else you can do if you've come from a fresh install ( factory reset).

Remember, its not supposed to be a daily driver
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DangerMUK:
The build itself is quite stable its the radio in the UK

Doesn't hold onto 4G at all.

Installing the new Sony Bootloader and Recovery

THIS IS FOR ALREADY UNLOCKED DEVICES!

DO NOT TRY THIS ON A GPE!​

Since a lot of people seem to have problems keeping their recovery when flashing Lollipop-ROMs i decided to put up this little guide...

You can also Skip this whole guide, by just flashing the newest stock-FW at least once!

First off, as already said, this is for already unlocked devices. You can use this Guide until "Install Custom ROM", except the rooting part, for rooting use this, if you haven't already!

Don't do it if you don't atleast somewhat know what you are doing.

I am not responsible for bricked devices, or whatever you might end up with.

So, lets get started.

1. Download Sonys FlashTool "EMMA" and install it: http://developer.sonymobile.com/downloads/tool/flash-tool-for-xperia-devices/

In the .zip file from the FlashTool you'll find a File "customization.ini"

Copy this file to the installation directory of EMMA, usually "C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Mobile\Emma"

If you don't copy that file, Emma will ask you for a login, don't create an account there, you will NEVER get any activation-email!

2. Open EMMA and boot your Phone into FlashMode (Power off your device -> Press and hold volume DOWN -> while pressing volume DOWN insert USB-Cable)

3. Emma should now recognize your device, but you have to select it manually tough. Select your EXACT model number. Again, I am not responsible for any bricked devices or whatever you end up with!

Now select the "(Open Devices) TA update" and click "Apply Service"

It should take a few seconds and should then display SUCCESS.

You can now close Emma

4. If you haven't already download FastBoot and Drivers: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118

(Run as Administrator!)

5. Download the newest version of twrp and put it somewhere:

New Inoffcial twrp-3.0.0 build by me: http://xdaforums.com/xperia-z-ultra/development/togari-twrp-recovery-3-0-0-t3314440

Old official versions: https://twrp.me/devices/sonyxperiazultra.html

6. Finally boot up you Phone in FastBoot-mode (Power off -> press and hold volume UP -> while pressing wolume UP insert USB-Cable

Your LED should now light up blue

Shift+Rightklick in the Folder where you have put TWRP recovery, and select "Open Commandprompt here"

Now write "fastboot flash recovery FILENAME_OF_TWRP_FILE"

You can now unplug your USB-Cable and boot into recovery and continue from there.

Your recovery will be permanent, meaning you won't loose it or replace with any other recovery that might come with your ROM.

I hope this was somewhat helpfull
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jacklau2000:
Any one can flash this to C6806?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] alia5:
You can try, just select your modelnumber in emma

If the "Open Devices (TA Update)" show up, you're fine. If not just don't do anything.

But do not try this on a GPE!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jacklau2000:
tried, but no luck. thanks.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] InGeNeTiCs:
It's really weird, I used emma, and installed their latest ta update. Now I can get into fastboot mode, all commands execute successfully, but the recovery never takes. The vol down + Power doesn't work, nor does 'adb reboot recovery'. Am I missing a step somewhere? This isn't my first android device, but from where I sit, it seems like something is up with my xzu.

If I try and install the 14.4* update through emma, it goes through the whole process, completes "successfully", then boots into 14.5. Something is clearly not working here.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] teddy74eva:
The TA update only unlocks the ability to boot to recovery, it doesn't install one. And no, flashing official TWRP to recovery partition doesn't work, it must be compiled again to work on normal recovery partition and not in FOTAKernel, where it must be flashed to work.

I´m on CM 11 M12 (looking forward to 12) + the new sony bootloader without any custom Kernel stuff.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pbgapski:
I have a xzu running cm12.1, and I have 2 quick questions for those with more knowledge than me :)

Is it possible to flash the new bootloder using the open source FlashTool?

If I have to use emma, is it possible to just apply the open device ta update *without* installing stock firmware first?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] alia5:
You can totally do that, BUT, the newest stock firmware also has some firmware updates regarding nfc, also having the newest stock rom flashed at least once will be kind of a requirement to get everything properly working on marshmallow roms.

So I would say flash the newest stock rom at least once!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pbgapski:
missing clues on new recovery partition

I followed your advice, but it seems I am missing a few clues.

My sirius was on cm12.1. I backedup and flashed D6543_23.4.A.1.232_1281-5466_R6C.ftf with flashtool on linux. I tried to use emma (several times) afterwards to check for any TA updates, but all I got was "no services matched this device" or something like that. Google tells me I am not the only one with this issue with emma :(

Then I used fastboot to install twrp 3 from twrp.me to recovery partition, but I could not access twrp.

I fastbooted recovery again with twrp 2.8.7, and this time I could enter twrp and reflashed CM.

Now I can access twrp using the button combinations while booting, but rebooting to recovery from CM leads to a bootloop. Has anyone experienced this as well?

So it seems I am still missing a few clues to using the recovery partition. Is any build of twrp supposed to work on both FOTAkernel and recovery partitions?

Is there a TWRP 3 build that works from 'coldboot to recovery' and 'cm reboot to recovery' with the new bootloader? Any pointers?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] alia5:
Well, booting to recovery on separate partition from os, requires the rom to have a patch... the "new" mm-roms (when they finally hit aka. are ready to be shared in public) will have that, so no worry, just wait.

I cannot get into PC Companion or Emma as it appears both require the bootloader to be locked. Any suggestions?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
What PC OS are you using? If Windows 10, did you update to it after you unlocked your C6806?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] mknewman:
I'm on Windows 10 and have a completely new computer.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] pTeronaut:
Then you need to install the Fastboot drivers.

Which for Windows 10, brings it's own problems.

Download Doomlord's Flashtool Drivers Pack

Open Command Prompt with Admin Privileges (Windows Key + X, Command Prompt (

A

dmin) )

Type "bcdedit /set testsigning on"

Restart your PC.

Run "Flashtool-drivers-1.5-20140318.exe" from the location that you downloaded it to,

Select all options that mention Xperia Z Ultra (Excluding SGH41 and Google Play Edition) (Some will fail, don't worry about it.)

Open Command Prompt with Admin privileges

Type "bcdedit /set testsigning off" (You don't have to, but you leave your computer open to other untrusted installs)

Reboot your PC.

You should now be able to connect to your C6806 via Fastboot mode.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrfluffy:
The network antenna cable is on the right of the phone, it has a clip on connection at the bottom end. This cable is very easy to get trapped when you reassemble the phone, and you can easily break the internals of the cable. Check the cable is tucked into the plastic recess, and that the connection at the bottom is clipped securely onto the PCB connector. If you still have no network connection, try uncoupling the value, twisting the cable round slightly, and reconnecting.
