I just got my SBH52 and test on ZU, failed to listen to music and I was thinking about the SBH52 device issue.
then I connected the SBH52 to iphone 5 with iOS7. no problem at all.
I think we need Sony to fix this firmware.
hey guys,
just managed to have it work back. simply uninstall the sbh52 app which u download from google play and it would works. but u will lose function of the sbh52.

well, i did a test just now and confirm the sbh52 app in google play cause my issue.
my issue was, i can make and hear call with sbh52, but when need to play any audio source e.g. youtube, spotify, no sound coming out from the sbh52 at all.
after i uninstall the sbh52 app download from google play, reboot and re-pair, music comes back. no the sound is very clear. but after uninstall the sbh52 app, i cant set any sbh52 setting in the Sony Connect app on ZU.

I don't see any problem about the sound quality so far . But look like after update the new version of "Smart Connect" on Google Play, the connection between ZU and SBH-52 with full function such as phone log, messages...that access on SBH-52 does not establish. Then I've removed the update version and it back to normal again!.
My ZU and SBH52 has same problem (cannot access clock, call log, message, listen music and call only), i have uninstall update of Smart Connect then my SBH52 connected normally

I have Sony SBH-50 and two devices Nexus 7 2012 (Android 4.4) and Sony Xperia SP (C5302 Android 4.1)
I have similar sound quality issue with my Nexus 7 device but with Sony Xperia SP I have no issues.
Just in case somebody checked BT sound quality on other devices with Androind 4.3+.
Maybe the issue related to Android's BT enhancmets?
Having similar issues my self there is a crackling when running music tracks and pairing up issues too. This all started after the 4.3 update.
I have unistalled and re installed the app couple times but to no positive results.
for me I hear a very slight hickup about every ten minutes when i stream audio over bluetooth, I did not have this before on 4.1
I did a factory reset when I installed the 4.3 and I dont know why this is happenning when I use my iphone on my car stereo it plays flawless
it seems there are issues with bluetooth in 4.3
aptx
I was on. 290 and didn't had any issue with my sennheiser mm400x which has aptx bluetooth profile. Just to let you know

Hey all,
I searched around for a while but couldn't find anyone posting about this issue...So I manually upgraded to the .211 release using Matt's Utility 1.7 back when it was released, and I have had next to no problems on stock ICS except for this. One annoying issue that keeps occurring though, is my music starts playing automatically after I hang up from a call using bluetooth. This happens only when I receive a call and my headset is connected to the phone (both handset and A2DP profiles). It streams over the headset thru A2DP and I have to manually pause the music on my phone (or disconnect/reconnect the headset) to stop it. I use a Bose Series 2 headset and didn't have this problem on stock GB beforehand. Music is not playing before I receive the call.
I've found a temporary solution in disabling the A2DP portion of the connection manually in the bluetooth settings under the headset subsection.... but this is annoying because I have to keep turning it back on when I want to stream music or podcasts through the ear piece.
Any ideas as to why this is now happening?

Scion some app is telling it to resume after calling. Do you have any other music apps installed on your phone?

Just the built in "my music" app bloatware from Moto...also Pandora. I did disable a bunch of bloatware when I first started setting up the phone. I'll see if disabling/re-enabling the my music app has any effect... I've never had a problem with Pandora before but I could also try uninstalling that to see if it makes a difference.
Flashing the .215 leak fixed the problem... hallelujah
Hello Members
I've a bluetooth Alpine car stereo, and when I connect my XZU the default music player is the Walkman app, if I pause the app and close it then try and use Google Music Player app, I get no sound through the car stereo.
I've worked out that apparently the Sony Walkman app takes possession of the Bluetooth sound connection as default, and that this is showing up in the Smartconnect app under the 'device' section under 'application'.
So, how can I change the default application that opens in the Smartconnect app to Google Music play, when I connect to my car stereo?
Any help would be great, thanks
Regards

SmartConnect/events then edit the one linked with your car stereo. Haven't tried it myself so don't know it you can change the default, but I have it so it plays PowerAmp on car connection, so should work.

Thanks SpyderTracks, if I add an 'Event' to the 'Alpine car stereo' device to allow Google Music Player to start, then what I get is, on connecting to the car stereo the Walkman app will open in the notification bar, but I'll have to close it first and then open the Google Music Player app.
Smartconnect should really just allow me simply to change the default startup 'Applications' rather than having to add additional events.
Has anyone got any ideas if the primary Application for a device in Smartconnect can be altered?
I really can't understand how, or why it's having to work in this way, and why Smartconnect didn't ask me first what Application I wanted to start, when I first made the Bluetooth pairing to the Alpine Car stereo.
This option should have been a choice that I make.

Just worth a try, try adding a new action when you're next in the car and deleting the existing one.

i can't get this working. i've paired my bluetooth earphones and all headset controls (even if in google music) work through that damn walkman app.
i looked in events and see nothing about stopping that app taking default control of inputs.
i tried to freeze the app and it did nothing.
i listen to audio courses on my phone on the way in to work and need to be able to press pause. this phone can't do that unless the screen is on in front of me the whole time which is going to kill my battery

ok, froze smart connect and walkman and seems to be better, except oddly the pause button doesn't work as it did before
and what i've done above stops the smartwatch connecting.
any way to have both?
SpyderTracks thanks for the suggestion, and I did think of trying that.
But when I initially connected the car stereo up to the phone the first time, it never gave me the option to setup a new Smartconnect hardware action for the stereo's connection, it made that wrong decision for me.
So, because we need to find out if either the Smartconnect software can either be controlled fully, or if it can be deactivated without effecting the SmartWatch 2 functions, I've email Sony for help also. I think that all bluetooth connect 'Application' decisions in Smartconnect software should be confirmed, and all Sony bluetooth hardware specific items should be automatic.
Or, that the Smartconnect software should only be relevant to Sony NFC Bluetooth, and WIFi products, and nothing else.
Hope your listening Sony!

Thanks for the info and your time on this... I hope Sony respond. It seems short sighted to lock such a good app to link to Sony apps only... Keep us posted please :sly:

Just an update,...
Sony never responded to my email, I ended up doing a Web chat, which got me nowhere so I ended calling them with no success.
I have read a few forum posts regarding this type of problem from a while back, people were experiencing problems of the Alpine head unit showing BT A Pause' when using some apps, while other apps on there phones (of the time) worked with no problems.
I think this problem not so much a Sony problem, as it is, how Google Music Player is interacting within the Bluetooth connection of the phone, and the way the Alpine Bluetooth car head unit is understanding the connection.
There was a known issue with Alpine BT head units, and ipods/Iphones/and Motorola s, which lead them to issue a firmware update, I wounder wheather this might be the case again for the XZU
I have just discovered this issue today when trying the google music app. This is frustrating as Play Music allows saving to SD by default, and I am not willing to root my Z Ultra.
It does appear that smart connect is locked to the Walkman app which makes switching music service almost impossible. :crying:

I use poweramp which you can set to autostart when there's a BT connection. Bypasses smart connect entirely with the same outcome.

This is quite a frustrating problem. Sony is quite elitist when it comes to their software. Fortunately andoid is flexible. Delete all events for smart connect. And install tasker. With tasker you can set Google play to start when headphones or bluetooth are connected.
Its not quite as good as smart connect unfortunately, because it has a very confusing interface. But once you figure out how to work with tasker its definately a "set and forget" type of functionality.
Hope this helps ^-^
Hello everyone,
I've just updated my SGP321 to stock KitKat (rooted).
I stream audio using Spotify to a Jawbone Big Jambox via bluetooth. The thing is I'm getting lots of stuttering and some drops.
After searching a bit, I tried turning off Stamina Mode but the problem persists.
It happens no matter if the song is streamed or offline.
Does anyone have this issue or any tip to solve it?
Cheers

Ok, this is definitely something with Spotify. Youtube audio is perfect.
My phone (also KitKat) doesn't have this problem... No clue whatsoever on why this happens!
Cheers
Same here
I have the same problem on my Xperia Tablet Z LTE, since KitKat upgrade.
Audio over BT studders, when wifi is on. With wifi off, it works like it used too.
Doesn't matter where the audio comes from or if it is streamed or local.
Having no problem whatsover either with Spotify or Walkman to my SBH20.
I've been getting stutter with my pair of UE BOOMS, but only when doubling up. Will try with wifi off and report back.
Didn't stream much til recently. Does anyone have positive results pre4.4.2

Hi I'm new to the forum.
I have the Z2 Sirius Xperience (AOSX) 4.4.2 ROM on my Xperia U.
When I try to connect to my 2013 Ford Focus to play music, when I press Play, nothing comes out of the stereo. Or when I make a call, the car will say 'Dialling' for a few seconds then will say 'Call ended'
I have tried repairing the car and phone and flashing the ROM again. This isn't a problem with the car because other devices work fine. I really like this ROM and I don't want to go back to ICS or JB. I have tried CM11 and the same thing happens. Any ideas why?

Hi all
Does anyone have any issues streaming audio to their car. I can connect my Mate 10 Pro no problem and take calls, however I can't seem to be able to stream music - using Amazon Music.
I have had a look in developer options and everything is set as default - ie i've not changed them.
Any ideas?
TIA
I can, I'm using a Pioneer AVH head-unit if that matters.
Spotify and the stock Music player plays fine, however sometimes it pauses for about .5 seconds (like it does that every 5-10 songs).
I'm using the BMW OEM headunit. One thing i have noticed is that if oyu go into the options of the paired device, you have Phone, Media and Contacts. The Phone and Contacts are on, no problem, but the media switches on and off as though its trying to connect but fails. Don't know if its the phone or the BMW unit......didn't have any issues with my Nexus 6P though

Yeah, that happened to mine.
Was trying to initiate a call from the HU, but it's not working since the phone switch was turned off automagically.
I re-paired it and it was fine after that. Try to unpair the pair again.

I have the same problem with mate 10 pro and Toyota yaris. The phone it fine but the music don't play. Don't work anythings...
I try many time to pair the phone with our succes
My Mate 10 Pro streams fine on Mazda MZD. Sometimes it doesnt show the track/album information. After switching BT of/on its repaired.
Another problem is that the phone always starts the original music app (which is nice but not enough configurable).
I use Poweramp as default player and have to start it manually after killing huawei music.

Had the same issue with audi mmi 3g+ System but restarting the phone resolved it - media connected by itself. I didnt do no unpairing. Same paired device which failed to stream spotify (media kept switching to off when tried to manually set it on) started streaming with no issues after rebooting the phone.
Funny thing is that sometimes bt media reconnects fail when switching car off for couple minutes,like for example you have everything going fine and you stop at the gas station bt media wont reconnect although you left the bt running while away for 5min with contacts and phone connecting fine, but I found a workaround for that stuff - with car swtiched off simply toggle bt off on and it will connect fine after you come back and start your car. This hasnt hapenned on the latest firmware though,but nonetheless I shared my finding since the toggle thing is still a better solution than restarting the phone everytime media connect fails.

On my mate 10 it hapenned only on the first run (bt stream to car stereo). After I started playing Spotify and closed default Music app it always auto starts Spotify when I reconnect to car stereo through bt (Spotify is never closed on my phone but car connect to Spotify no matter if its on play or pause - if its on play music continues on car stereo if its on pause car stereo leaves it on pause but in that situation audio ID loads only when I hit Play on the phone).
Hey everyone, I'm not having any connectivity issues with bluetooth but what I have noticed is the bluetooth audio seems "lower" in comparison to how my Mi Max sounds in my car. Any remedy or solution for that or am I stuck with the low-ish audio I'm getting from the device in the car for the moment?
Hi
I am using to connect to Camry (asia) 2017.... The song plays and can select next track...however, this is the problem that I encounter.
1) the song name does not update when I select the next song... it is always stuck in the first song. ?
2) the volume always go to minimal on my M10. when I switched to bluetooth connect...... ... This does not happen on my Huawei P8, in which when I switch between radio and bluetooth, the phone always remain the same volume scale.
3) I have select the APPmenu but this is always failed when I pair with Mate10...
I have tried to pair in many ways : car to phone, phone to car but does not work for item 1.
Not sure if Mate 10 has issue on other bluetooth devices in other car model. ?
Thank in advance.
I driving Mazda car, and huawei really got a big issue, especially Bluetooth, my previous phone Sony Z2 works fine without any issues while the huawei mate 10 I just changed just had problems just like u guys, for now what I always do is to restart phone every day 1 time, and it works fine for me, but sometimes it have some laggy issue when I was pairing with my headphone, and the Bluetooth signal tbh, weak. Well that's the only solution I can provide to u guys tho
Had the same problem with my mate 10. Head unit is alpine ut-72bt . On the head unit the symbols for network and battery were there but on the display was shown NO UNIT. The music from the phone was not getting thru. I spent 1h pairing repairing , firmware update , reset. Nothing really worked. After I restarted the phone everything begin to work accordingly. Maybe will help somebody.

Same for me when playing music on my car head unit, using any music app. I mostly use Spotify. This car doesn't have this issue with any other handsets.
Same problem for me since last update
Did b142 fix these issues for anyone?
I was having similar issue - couldn't listen to Google Play Music in my Bluetooth headphones, phone and contacts are on, but media won't enable. Got it working by starting the preinstalled music app and running a song in it. After that works fine.
