Bluetooth connection problem

[DasI]

Using Jabra EASYCALL Bluetooth headset, but connection is working unreliable: Sometimes in the middle of the talk party is unable to hear me, I still could hear party. In this case party usually ends conversation, and then we do call again, and after re-call, party can hear you again, but at any time it could happen again.

Also sometime after pairing headset and phone phone is reporting that connected, but won't let use headset, still using phone mic/speaker. Sometimes it is enough to turn Bluetooth off/on on the phone, but sometimes I have to do this several times, optionally including headset on/off.

I'm pretty sure that this is Phone problem, because same headset is working flawlessly with older Xperia phone and also with many other phones and also.

I'm using a Plantronic Legend headset with bluetoothconnection disconnected.... and then connected again!?

The Plantronic voice  says "Phone disconnected" after 10 - 20 sec.... then after about 10 sec "Phone connected" again.

Plantronic support blame SONY, becasue my headset work properly together with Iphone 5.
I have installed the latest firmware:14.3.A.0.757

Hi,

here is the same with my Z1c and my jabra solemate bluetooth speaker.

It works very well with any other devices.

My Z1c works normally in my car (toyota prius) phone and music over bluetooth.

Please do something, it is quite annoying.

Bye.

I have aToyota Verso, 8 years old, with build-in Bluetooth car kit.

The Z1 Compact disconnects (and re-connects) randomly.

This wasn't the case with my Xperia P, with a K800, Aino, and many other Sony Ericsson phones.

There must be something wrong with the Z1C.

Please correct .....

My Xperia Z1 Compact keeps disconnecting almost all bluetooth devices constantly. Even SONY's own SWR10 SmartBand keeps disconnecting and reconnecting in a constant loop.
A2DP devices seem to work better. I can stream music in to a bluetooth enabled stereo set just fine. Also my handsfree works fine.
But the SWR10 and other "non-A2DP" devices keep disconnecting all the time, which is annoying. I bought a set of Stickr Trackrs to keep track of my valuables, and my phone keeps warning about lost keys all the time because of the dropped bluetooth connection.

Bluetooth on the Xperia Z1 Compact **bleep**! FIX THIS, SONY!


Oh and yes, I have all the latest updates installed. 14.3.A.0.761. Also, it doesn't seem to matter whether I have Stamina mode on or off. BT keeps disconnecting and reconnecting no matter what I do.

I can confirm that Bluetooth is working better after 4.4.2 upgrade - but it is still not perfect. I do get link problems constantly when talking by phone: suddenly party cannot hear me anymore, while I still can hear party. Switching to handset and back to bluettoth helps for a while. I'm also on 14.3.A.0.761, buit it seems that updates didn't helped any more after 4.4.2 update.

I have two identical Jawbone ERA headsets.

My Xperia Z1 Compact will not pair with either of them properly.  Both of them paired perfectly with my Xperia Acro S.

There is something wrong with the Bluetooth on the Z1C.

Bluetooth cuts out randomly when it does pair in much the same way as others have described for other headsets.

Hi,

I use Bluetooth for my build-in carkit (Toyota Corolla Verso from 2006), my MDEX remote for my hearing aids, my Smartwatch SW2 from Sony, my Samsung Tablet (Bluetooth Tethering) and my wife's Samsung smartphone (also Bluetooth Tethering as she has an unlimited data account 🙂  ).

It all works great except for the MDEX: this device is no longer automatically connected when I switch it on, while before the update to 14.3.A.0.757, it was working great. Now I have to manually connect.

Phone calls over the Toyota carkit and MDEX (from WIDEX) works without any interruption (and my calls are long, some over one hour).

I suspect that it might be a compatibility issue between BT 4.1 from the Z1Compact and the Jabra headsets, something what was already the case for BT 1.0 etc. The specifications for the Headset and Handsfree Profiles within Bluetooth are being interpreted differently by various manufacturers. The SIG (the organisation which has to approve the products before a manufacturer is allowed to use the word "Bluetooth") seems to miss some flaws in the Bluetooth firmware from either Sony and/or Jabra.

For some years I had a living by testing Sony Ericsson Bluetooth products against competitor Bluetooth products and I can tell you: a lot of issues which never got solved in a good way.

Try to get your headset reflashed with the latest firmware, if all possible. 

Otherwise, check the compatibility list for the Xperia Z1 Compact: here you see all Bluetooth headsets which have been tested against this phone.
