Sorry a complete novice, how would I do that? Would I need to root ?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theprince1991:
I removed the last post because it was on the previous page and I assumed you've seen it.

It's very easy. On your phone enable USB debugging (just google if you don't know how to do this). You do not need root.

Download and install ADB from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=48915118#post48915118

Make sure to install it system wide.

Open command prompt.

Just to make sure it has properly installed typing in ADB and hitting enter should give you a long list of possible commands etc.

When you're sure it's working type in the code above and that's all! When you first use ADB, on your phone it'll ask if you want to add the RSA fingerprint, just click "yes" to this.

Let me know if my steps need further clarification!

Cheers for that, is the above proven to work ? (The bluetooth issues i mean)
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theprince1991:
It's definitely worth a try! If you want to undo what the code does show replace "hide" with "unhide". It solved my issues with a BT headset.

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neonixxx:
Firmware 32.0.A.6.209 fixed the BT issue on my Z5!

I really don't think this issue is related to Throw. I disabled all Throw-related things on the phone when I first rooted it and the problem still persisted. So I would say it's unproven.

However, the latest Z5 firmware (32.0.A.6.209_Customized_US) seems to have this issue resolved! Ever since I flashed this firmware, bluetooth connectivity no longer cuts out on my Pebble nor my car. Only twice has my Pebble randomly disconnected, but reconnected quickly after. My phone was also connected to my car BT both those times, so it could be a minor conflict in the bluetooth stack there, but regardless it's not a big problem at all like before!

If you want to give it a try, download and install the latest Flashtool, then open XperiFirm from its toolbar, find E6603 (it's compatible with the E6653 as well, so don't worry) and download the 32.0.A.6.209 firmware. Note that the US firmware will have the fingerprint scanner disabled, but you can easily re-enable it by swapping a couple files from the UK firmware. Here's an easy-to-follow guide on how to do that.

Hope that works for you as it did for me. Let us know if you try it.

Can you use flash tool to update the firmware without unlocking the bootloader or rooting?

Second to that question has anybody successfully used flash tool to root their Z5 Dual E6683?
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neonixxx:
No, I'm pretty sure flashtool only works if the bootloader is unlocked. Otherwise, we wouldn't need the dirty rooting method that everyone's using.
[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daryan:
Yeah, that's what I figured. I'm still holding off on rooting at the moment so as not to unlock the bootloader and, surprisingly, I'm not missing it too much!!

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm007:
Flashtool work with locked and unlocked bootloader. It's safe if you know how to use it and doesn't broke the warranty.

I don't think that rooting z5 is possible with flashtool right now,not implemented yet.

Hi all, please to save you some time. There is no point factory resetting your phone or whatever to try to fix many different bluetooth issues. Restarting your phone is all you need to make things better for a while generally.

Google has confirmed there is a serious issue with bluetooth in Marshmallow, and are currently working on a fix, there are a large number of threads about this all over the web.

These issues are affecting most phones if not all on Marshmallow.

Removing the devices as Trusted Bluetooth worked for me

I found this thread when I was looking for a resolution to my own Bluetooth issues with a Sony Xperia Z5 on Marshmallow.

Symptoms

In my case, I haven't had any problems with call handling (but I don't take many calls in the car, so maybe I've just been lucky there).

However, I was having MAJOR problems with occasional dropouts in audio streaming and frequent disconnect / reconnect cycles with all of three devices:

Car audio in a 2016 Kia Carens

Car audio in a 2012 Smart Car

Sony SBH52 headset

Clearly, it wasn't specific to any particular Bluetooth device, as the symptoms were the same on all three - it would last for about 5 minutes, and then disconnect and reconnect almost immediately. After that, it would tend to disconnect / reconnect ROUGHLY every 20 minutes or so. My car charger couldn't keep up with the battery drain - I assume the disconnect/reconnect cycle, in combination with other stuff normally running when I'm in the car, was eating battery faster than the charger could top it up.

I don't know about the car audio, as I rarely get in the car without streaming something, but with the SBH52, the disconnect/reconnect would happen even if I wasn't streaming anything. (I know because the SBH52 makes a noise when it disconnects or connects, and I also have some Tasker tasks that are triggered by a connection and a disconnection, and I could see those running too.)

Attempted Solutions

I tried disabling Throw in the Phone settings. That appeared to help - for a day - and then the phone was back to its old disconnecting tricks.

Then I installed adb, and used the command on page 6 of this thread to REALLY disable Throw. That made no difference for me.

What worked for me

On further searching, something made me think about Trusted Bluetooth. All three were set to be trusted devices (although largely out of habit, as I use my SmartWatch as a trusted device, so the others were really overkill).

So, I disabled them all as Trusted Devices. That has made a difference (possibly in conjunction with disabling Throw - I have no need for it, so haven't bothered to re-enable it). It hasn't cured the problem completely - although I can't find any pattern to the circumstances when I still do get the occasional disconnect/reconnect - but a week can go by without me having that particular problem.

I do still occasionally get short (<1 second?) dropouts during playback, but rebooting the phone seems to recover from this. A nuisance, but at least do-able. The car charger can just about keep the battery level steady now with my normal car apps running (i.e. podcasts and Maps/Glympse using GPS) which is disappointing in contrast to my old Z3 Compact, which would happily get charged up in the car, except in extreme circumstances, but at least staying steady is better than watching the battery level drop.

Hopefully, this may help others work around the same problem, until we get a proper fix.

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juwlz:
Well, that worked for about a week, and then I started getting the same disconnect / reconnect problem after installing some (non-bluetooth-related) apps. It seems to change according to what apps I have installed / running, but I can't find a specific app that's causing it, and for the moment, I can't get rid of the problem.

TBH it's beginning to feel like an uninitialised variable or memory overflow problem. i.e. whether or not I get the problem depends on which bit of hyperspace some variable is pointing to.

All of which means that no action that we can take to attempt to work around it will make any predictable difference whatsoever - we either just get lucky, or we don't. And even without installing new apps, routine app updates may break things anyway.

Clearly, disabling the bluetooth devices as trusted changed SOMETHING, but that wasn't a lasting fix. It just happened to change the bit of memory that is getting addressed to something harmless ... until something else came along and changed it to something less harmless.

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeroensky:
Hi all.

My new Xperia Z5 dual has a evil bluetooth issue:

It does connect to headsets and car audio receiver, but instead of transferring the stereo audio over a2dp(bluetooth), it transfers the audio to the mono phone speaker used for normal calling(so not to the stereo audio speakers and not to bluetooth device with A2DP support.). Pairing seems to go ok.

How to fix so that i can use stereo audio from my flac soundfiles on my bluetooth stereo headsets and car..

Update:

I fixed it.

I open the app "Smart Connect" and remove all accessories (my headsets and car) and remove all events.

To be sure in app manager i removed all storage from this app, also force stop and disable it.

Problem solved.

[Elephone P8000] Carlito Z3:
Hello,

I tried many gps navigation softwares and in any cases, I had the same issue: when I am stopped, my position on the soft moves around me, maybe 10-20 meters... when I restart, it can return on the right position if the street is alone, but it can restart from an incorrect position, on another street.... Am I the only one to have such issue?
[Elephone P8000] jknarf:
No, I have the same experience.

Did you really close the gps navigation app?

Because, when I kill all gps apps and restart them, the position is good by 5 meters, thats ok for me.

But when I use a navigation app longer the gps seems to lag about 10 to 20 meters from my position.

The behaviour from the gps looks like location smoothing in ingress. And when I play ingress and enable location smoothing,

the gps position act like without location smoothing.

My last phone before, an old xperia t, was more precise and ingress with location smoothing enable act complete different as without.

For me it looks more like a firmware problem with the built-in gps modul.

[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vergil117:
As the title suggested I'm transiting from a 2013 moto X (1st Gen) to a Nexus 5X. Personally I don't want to get a large phone (ie moto X style), want to return to Nexus devices (last being a Galaxy Nexus). I also want to get day one updates instead of waiting on carriers (like Verizon). I also want to finally get a phone that I can play around with a fingerprint reader. I'd love to get your views upon the Nexus 5x when compared to the first gen moto X.

Seeing as its been 2 years since I've gotten a new phone, how would you compare the Moto X 2013 to the Nexus 5x for screen, battery and performance.

-I'm not looking for high end game performance just want a nice snappy interface.

-Screen I'm just looking for a nice display to look at nothing really high end (I rather watch videos on my calibrated HDTV or monitor at home).

-And battery to get me through a day with low to medium web browsing.

Also on a side note my Moto X lately has been suffering from the optimizing apps upon start up bug that is in 5.1, has this problem been corrected in 6.0?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaeus3:
I was actually in the same boat, having moved from a Galaxy Nexus to the first gen Moto X. I was really hesitant mostly because the Moto X had been my favorite phone so far.

For me, the transition has been pretty excellent. The phone is noticeably bigger, which ended up not being too much of a concern for me. Performance is definitely better than on Nexus 5X and I have rarely seen any issues that lasted more than a couple of seconds. I think the phone will definitely meet your list in screen, performance, and battery.

I cannot say much on the optimizing apps bug, as I never got my Moto X to actually upgrade with the most recent patches, but I've not seen anything like that on the Nexus 5X after the system update it had.

Overall, I would definitely suggest the Nexus 5X as an upgrade to the Moto X. I was very happy with the switch.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfringer:
I moved from a 2013 Moto X to the Nexus 5X as well. I've been very happy with the move - as mentioned above, the screen is very nice compared to the Moto X as well as performance (though neither was terrible on my Moto X). There are some adjustments I've needed to make, the size is certainly larger - but I've adapted pretty quickly, it's still mostly one-hand usable by me. I miss Motorola's Active Display - Marshmallow's Ambient Display is nice, but not nearly as responsive as Active Display (and I liked that I could configure Active Display to only allow specific apps to trigger). I'm not a heavy user and don't try to meet some of the screen on times others report; I simply want to use my phone as needed throughout the day and be able to make it through the day without the need to charge. So far I've been able to accomplish that - in fact, I managed two days of standby without charging, now that's under my usage patterns which is minimal calls, a few Hangout messages light gaming and emails. The first few days, when I was non-stop using it I managed to make it through a full day without battery saver engaging.

I've not encountered the optimizing apps bug on either device (though I read for the Moto X it only occurred if the device was charging when restarted).
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] antiseen:
Same move for me. Verizon moto x 2013 to the nexus 5x.

Only thing I miss about the moto is size and vibration strength. Everything else is far superior.

No lag. Amoled screens look nice and have the nifty "active display" feature. I miss that on the moto, but I'm never getting another amoled screen. My gs3 had light burn in on the status bar after a year. My moto x had significant burn in on the status bar and software key bar after a month. Didn't ruin the phone but it was noticeable on solid backgrounds. Done with dealing with that.

The screen on the nexus 5x is really nice and the resolution bump is welcomed.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeosu:
Just got my nexus 5x today coming from '13 Verizon moto x. So far, I'm really missing the consistent moto display. The ambient display is just awful compared to it. It's not awful on its own but when you have seen how good it can be, it's a major disappointment.

Vibration is pathetic, how are you ever supposed to feel it's tiny tremor??

Other than that, battery seems decent and the screen is gorgeous. Also quite snappy but the X wasn't really that slow.

I'll need to use it for a few days but I'm not convinced it's worth the upgrade over my moto x 2013 yet.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty12601:
I can't imagine it not being worth the upgrade?

Camera, there is no comparison. Battery life, display resolution, fingerprint reader, speed, UPDATES...

The only thing the 13x has on it is moto actions/display, and better display technology. I prefer AMOLED heavily over LCD. That would make the 5x an excellent device. I'm still torn between my 14x and the 5x due to notifications and the display types.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeosu:
True, I guess Im just hung up on the notifications. Really wish it had 3GB of RAM too because I essentially didn't update my RAM amount.

14x looks great but I'm really liking the fingerprint scanner on the 5x! haha

Edit: Also I can tell the X has a bit better color saturation. Although I like the brightness and resolution of the 5x better.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty12601:
I'm not going to sugar coat it, with the 14X and the 5x side by side I'm pretty disappointed looking at the 5x. I prefer vibrant punchy colors and blacks that amoled produces. The 5x is just washed out in comparison.

I have problems with my Moto X shutting down randomly at various stages of battery life. Which is super frustrating not knowing when my phone is going to die. Really the only reason I lean towards the 5x. The 5x is a great device, just missing some of the things I really love about the Moto X.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeosu:
I'd say that sums it up for me too...great just missing some good moto x features. I'll give it a couple weeks to decide if I'll keep it since Google has a generous return period now.

Who knows I might try the 6p, although holding the 5x I'm not sure I can imagine going bigger!
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty12601:
That's the issue. 6p is way too big, and 100% not an option.
