[Q] Roms with working Bluetooth. - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

As mentioned in some of the custom ROM threads, there has been an issue with Bluetooth not connecting to paired devices after the phone reboots.
I know that Saatvik Shukla said that he was going to look at it in a response in his Euphoria OS thread.
Has anybody who has experienced this issue found a ROM other than Stock or GPe port which reconnects to BT successfully after reboot lately? I don't really have the time to set everything up twice (SBH52, Car, Watch) should the ROM that I try still fail with BT connections.

I use Cm12.1 Nightly.
The "/data/etc/bluetooth_bdaddr" file was missing.
Therefore, the Bluetooth MAC address changed each time after switching on.

For the 1st post since joining nearly five years ago, you've sure made it count!.
I copied the bluetooth_bdaddr file from /data/etc/ from Scrubbers 5.1 GPe port to a safe location, installed the latest AICP, then copied the file back to /data/etc/ (fixing the permissions afterwards). My bluetooth devices have reconnected after every reboot since.
I have since gone back to 5.1 GPe to get the remaining contents of /data/etc/ as that folder on AICP (and presumably every other custom ROM) was completely empty.
Thanks so much.

[Q] 4.3 disrupted wifi, now can't fix

Hi all,
I've been happily following the progression of ROM developments, since I got my P7510 (P4WIFI) and sampling a variety of ROM's up through the versions of Android. I recently upgraded to a 4.3 ROM and developed a problem...I could connect to wifi as always, but could not get internet access (wifi connected, but no browsing, play store, weather apps, etc.).
I worked my way back through a number of recovery backups, knowing that in all of them I didn't have this problem, but it remained.
In desperation, I unrooted and returned to stock and the problem was still there! I found a .pit file for the 7510, re-partitioned, formatted the partitions and reloaded the stock ROM...still no change.
Can anyone point me to a solution? I've googled myself stoopid on this one...
Cheers,
PF.

Try to toggle airplane mode on then off..not sure if it will work on our tabs...but it works on my epic 4g touch..this is just a work around though.
What stock did you return to...
I'll look around and see what I can find...
My first thought was it's a router issue. I've had the same thing happen to me and in the end all that was needed was a router reboot.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried the airplane mode on/off, but it didn't help.
The stock version I'm on is Build number IMM76D.XWMPF (P7510XWMPF_P7510XSAMP1_HOME.tar.md5)... I believe the correct one for my country...? Not sure if that's a red herring, though. The problem occurred going from 4.2 to 4.3 and has stuck with every restore and rebuild I've tried since.

Thanks B-man.
Tried the router reboot, no dice. Also tried connecting to different WAPs and the problem remains. I tried connecting to my SGS4 as a portable hotspot, which was working fine previously...identical problem...

[Q] Missing "Nvs_map.bin" file

Hey guys! New here, but I have had my maxx(xt912) for a while. I got into rooting and using ROMs about 6 months ago so I'm no expert with this stuff.
Well to the point! I'm currently using a CyanogenMod ROM 10.1.3 and it works great! But I've been wanting to upgrade to a new version. Problem is.. Ever since CM 10.2 came out, every time I flash a new version on anything my WiFi quits functioning correctly.. At first I thought it was a bug. But then CM 11 came out running kitkat so of course I flashed it immediately(with correct gapps) and same problem. WiFi doesn't work right. So I'm like wth right. Not knowing what else to do, I just decided to install a new ROM as a test subject. I installed slimkat 1.8 beta with its gapps and same deal. WiFi turns on, may or may not connect and when it does it doesn't take long to disconnect then just go into a cycle of connecting and disconnecting killing battery. In my current location with no WiFi my phone is rendered useless.. After googling around I read that there should be a "nvs_map.bin" file in my PDS/WiFi/ folder. Well there isn't. So I'm thinking that's my problem with the WiFi not functioning right.
What do you guys think? Thanks for any help

[Q] Wifi not working (g)

Hello, i'm flashed a new rom
[ROM] Dirty Unicorns 4.4.4 [UNOFFICIAL][BUILT-1](16-8-2014)
And don't have any problems. Currently in home i connecting to linksys, wifi mode is N. I visiting my mom it has router d-link 610, i suppose it has G wireless mode, so the question is following, when i scan any wifi connection, i cannot see her router, however all other devices perfectly see, Note 3, notebook with N mode. And i cannot understand why it's happening, may i should reflash "some" module, so it started to work.
It's currently blank, even if i put manualy SSID and password.

Thank you for answer, after some experiments i flashed bad rom (don't ask my how about 2 years of experience), hopefully fastboot still worked, i reflashed nemesis kernel, and after it , throught adb iterface i pulled to phone corrected rom. However, i decided to return to stock rom with flashtool, after all long time of manipulation of my xperia (about 1 year),
And now it's working almost great, however i'm still finding a good rom.
Also i did as you adviced me, still no results. By the way thank you

Le Max 2 wifi problem

Hello,
I just bought a new Le Max 2 from banggood. But I faced some strange problem. I tested with 26S Chinese stock ROM and Lineage 15.1 ROM and I faced same problem. I am starting to think this is a hardware problem to my specific phone.
When I install new ROM, I can use wifi without any problem. But after some usage (it is random and it is about 500-1000 MB of wifi transfer) wifi connection drops the file transfers from wifi. I can't download large files and I can't download apps from google play store.
Do you believe it is a hardware issue or software issue? Should I return it to banggood?
Most certainly the problem was caused by installing the wrong firmware for your device. Check this link to download the correct one: https://sourceforge.net/projects/lineageos-for-x2/files/Firmware Updates/
UPDATE: changing the firmware only temporarily solved our problem. It's back again. Interesting fact: installing any original stock rom (e.g. the 30S) DOES solve the problem. But I want a clean LineageOS or AEX, no stock roms. I tried many combinations, also flashing updated modem firmware over the Lineage build but the problem remains and I can not figure it out.
Maybe @KuranKaname or @CrisBalGreece has any clue?
@coolman7: you are correct, after 500 to 1000 MB's of wifi transfer the connection just breaks.
hello,
what is your wifi problem exactly? Installing 30S stock ROM, fixes your wifi problem permanently?

on all lineage and aex roms I tried there is the problem of interrupted wifi connections. I use the speedtest and nperf tools to check and sometimes it seems as if there is no problem but then after the phone comes out of standby the problems come back. In that case only rebooting helps.
And yes, installing 30S stock rom fixes it permanently (as long as I keep using that rom)... Any clues would be very welcome!
Did you try other stock roms like 26S, 23S, 16S etc? Because I tried all stock ROMs except 30S and none of them solved my problem.

I think the device got delivered with stock 19S rom and I don't recall any problems there but did not do extensive testing with it. I will try 26S and report back what happened.

The wifi speed is not the problem as I reach my full internet speed (280mbps) in lineageos and aex. Problem is that the wifi just quits / breaks after downloading for about 30 seconds (sometimes 5 seconds, sometimes 5 minutes). Seems it get's worse in these roms after the device wakes up from sleep.

I use x-plore app to push gigabytes of music to my phone, and than it works great too.
Really no problems with WiFi.

Which rom are you using, and if not stock, which stock or which firmware did you flash before using your current rom?
@coolman7 I finally figured out what my problem with the wifi was: apparently the custom roms (lineageos and revengeos) use the same, hardcoded MAC address Since we have two of those Le Max 2 devices in our household, they conflicted on the LAN. Manually setting an alternative address fixed it for me (as described here: https://zukfans.eu/community/threads/roms-by-fedor917.1152/page-26) I hope it helps you and otherwise goodluck!

Microphone Problem in Android 11

Hi there
Since I updated my MI A3 to Android 11 the microphone sometimes doesn't record voices !
( I reset and flashed my phone so many times but didn't solve )
Upppppp
If you flashed stock with miflash... Probably the problem is hardware. I have flashed many stock and custom a11 firmware. And my microphone work well. A question. When you reflashed stock rom... You have changed the active slot? All updates are installed on slot b. So if want to make a good clean istallation... In my opinion is better set active slot to a via fastboot before flash. Try this. Also you can try a custom stable rom with oss drivers. But is important to make a good installation. Or the software problems may not be solved
Recently after owning a new car that is my first using Bluetooth handsfree option, I discovered this issue.
It seems the mic got somehow "stuck" to the car when I leave it, as the phone's normal mic then is okay. Just when trying to use the phone's handsfree mic in a call oder video calling in signal or hangouts it doesnt work. Even recording videos using the camera app is fine, but any handsfree option for any communication does not work.
Restarting the device or restarting bluetooth does not work. Somehow the phone recovers after sometime. When, why and how I do not know.
It definitely breaks down again once reconnected to the car.
with other bt devices have same problem?
Sadly I don't have any other bt device that is handsfree mic capable, I just own a speaker that is connected every now and then - it was my first idea to recover it by connecting to another bt device (the said speaker), but it does not work. Of course, the speaker is not connected using the same bt variant, the icon in the phone's settings is different.
mmmm... for this issue, the solution are: try delete all bt connection. if dont work try install latest software update. if dont work the definitive solution is wipe data and make a new clean installation. i suggest do this via miflash
