[Q] Facebook Messenger Crashing - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

Hi there, proud new owner here, a tiny bit dissapointed with washed out colours /Im coming from an unbeatable amoled screen of Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7/ and not being able to sync my Jawbone Up /did anyone manage to find a solution for that?/, but my main problem is facebook messenger crashing. Does that happen to any of you? I¨m C6833 14.2.A.0.290. THANKS!

Oh, I think it actually might be due to a microphone not working properly, I am on UK C6833 with the lates firmware update. Just run the device test and it is showing me that "microphone failed" every time, also attempted some recordings and there's no sound. Does anyone else have a problem with mic? Should I have it replaced?

AFAIK, the device test tests the hardware connection itself as well as drivers etc, so if it's failing I think it's a hardware issue. I'd get it fixed on warranty if I were you. Who's your network?

I'm on Three UK, phone from Ebay...tu du dun duuunnnn...But alas, I've found out now, that it is only the facebook messenger app that messes up the microphone. It goes disconnecte and won't come back up until the reboot only when I attempt a voice recording through facebook messenger. Tried older version of messenger too to no avail. Hmmmm, mindboggling.

Have you tried Skype? I mean, you could try it and see if it works there (do a test call), and if it does, it's clearly something with the messenger app and not the hardware.
And, this thread should be in the Q&A section and not general.

Interesting... Not come across any threads on it, but sure someone else will have. Glad it's not hardware at least!

True, but still very annoying nontheless, does it work normally for you guys? Don't understand why this particular app is missbehaving for me, I'm on stock, no root, no unlocked bootloader...pffffff

Haha, i don't have any FB stuff on my phone
EDIT: Fine, i'll install it and see if it works.
EDIT 2: It's the same thing here. It works fine until i try to record audio, and then it just freezes up and crashes. Contact FB so they can fix it (good luck with that).

Facebook or more Apps problem with bootloader unlocked Sony Xperia Z Ultra (C6806)
After factory reset my beloved C6806 (Sony Xperia Z Ultra ) and unlocking the bootloader through the Sony official unlocking procedure, I found my Facebook, Gmail, SMS and more apps started failing to run. Especially Facebook app, it just worked once after fresh installation. After restarting the phone, the Facebook app was no longer work. The screen kept flashing several times and then exited. I was never able to make it work again.
The only way to reviving the Facebook app was through clearing data in the app (Settings>Apps>Facebook>Clear Data). However, It required login to Facebook again then worked until the phone restarting. The same symptom repeats again, again and again. I am so frustrated because the problem of instability then extended to more apps. I had also tried to install Messenger or old version of Facebook App but there was no luck at all to solve the problem. The phone started running unstable.
I originally planned to install a custom ROM and root the phone in order to resolve the problems. In that moment, I had an idea and guessed that the problems might be caused by the bootloader. The I use Flashtool and lock the bootloader.
Wow La .................. All the problems are solved and no more problem existed.
If you have the same problem with Sony smartphone and the phone is bootloader unlocked, please try to relock the bootloader again. It may solve most of your problems.
Additional note: Some people have mentioned the problem of Xperia For Facebook. This is the hint for me to think about the source of problem coming from the bootloader. Sony's default apps have a habit to check the bootloader status of the phone before running like FOTA Update. No more update is avail for those unlocked bootloader Xperia smartphones. So do not use Official ROMs if you want to unlock bootloader. (However, many apps will stop running with custom ROMs like bank apps or Google Pay.) Please install custom ROMs with unlocked bootloader Xperia smartphone. Do not keep using the Official Version ROMs because this will be your beginning of nightmare.

........calm down. You can't base your conclusion on that vague investigation.
Stock rom is so old and abandoned sony haven't added anything new to it like blocking facebook.
Yes some app developers are starting to block access to rooted devices is different ways.
There is no signs that facebook ie microsoft is blocking rooted devices yet.
But recently google is implementing only a simple block so you cant download the app from play store. But you can simply install the apk manually.
You should try something else first. Like flashing a stock rom ftf. Wiping the whole phone after the unlock including internal storage and sdcards. Even if unlocking wipes the phone.

2.1 is so so slow

Not sure why so many apps are consuming so much CPU power. Like face recognition, home, other google stuff. It's been over a day and still theses apps are processing or whatever they are doing
Kinda disappointed with 2.1 atm.
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
I rooted my X10 and deleted all Sony dumb apps, no my X10 with 2.1 is Ok
I rooted mine as well, but haven't deleted the Sony crap yet. Could you refer me to a few threads here so I can do so as well.
I'm so close to dumping this X10 :/
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Simply use Titanium Backup to freeze apps. No need to delete anything.
I noticed huge lag as well while playing with the phone for the first 15mins and thought it would get used to the new OS, it didn't. One solution I found, and worked for many people was simply restarting the phone. Now my phone doesn't seem like the same laggy X10 I had. For Titanium Backup info and instructions, here is the developer's official wiki: http://matrixrewriter.com/wiki/tiki-index.php if that doesn't help use the search feature on XDA, or Google it...
Also when deleting Sony apps be careful things like Mediascape are used for putting contact pics in your phonebook, etc. It is also the default mediaplayer so don't delete it. Same with Timescape, if you use your phonebook contacts connected from facebook, I noticed some data is taken from Timescape.
Somethings that I can confirm are safe to delete:
1. Moxier Mail
2. Wise Pilot
3. Creatouch
Before doing this, backup everything with Titanium Backup, no harm in backing up
Well I've been running 2.1 since the day it was released and I've rooted but haven't uninstalled anything and everything is running smoothly for me. As it is for my two mates.
It runs a lot faster then the Galaxy S 2.1.
I haven't come across any lag yet.

I followed the advice on this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826491
i just installed the update but my phone kindda lagg..
any solutions on this?
Just wait for few minutes. New Dalvik VM is on its way so it is a bit slow to start . Give it ~10-15 mins.
Patience Required
I have done some research and testing, Found that mainly face recon, media apps, Google Sync, where draining power but leaving on phone overnight, charging it had finished processing all the pictures and synced data on my phone, of course you can remove apps but I wouldn't recommend any SE based ones as they all control certain parts to improve phone quality.

I was one of the first that got the oficiall 2.1 update and i stumbled upon something.
When i got it i just used google sync on almost everything. but then i realised i needed some apps that i had made a backup of by using MyBackup PRO. So i thought that "oh well, might just sync the contacts again".
Thats when all hell started to break loose on my poor phone, it was lagging like CRAZY, all the time. Didnt matter what i did, still the same issue...
So i formated and reinstalled everything on the phone, and everything was going extremly smooth. Like the first time experience all over again.
Then i realized "Damn, i havent restored my contacts" and then it hit me. All my problems started when i restored contacts using ANYTHING else BUT Google's own sync. Cuz once i was going to restore it using MyBackupPro it said something about not being able to restore cuz no Google account was found on contacts, but i already had logged in my entire phone with my google account, exxept syncing my contacts with Google.
So my guess is that they have incorporated the contacts too much with Timescape and Google Sync so if u use like Titanium Pro or MyBackup or watever backup program, it will give u issues with this update.
But its meerly a speculation from my side...
Other Point....
The other thing I did notice a lot of is the developer/Diagnostic tool this I imagine will be used to send logs and stats back to SE for 2.1 optimisations for newer firmware, Though it very random at times.

Yea, i'm curious what is it...
I think i'm going to freeze it with Titanium.
Also another process running is R2R or something.
Anyone knows what is it?
Yea, I was afraid I would have to start from scratch again. Not sure what else to do atm, but "home" is using a lot of cpu power.

Remove "Home" and use a 3rd party launcher (LauncherPro, ADW Launcher)
You will be surprised how much quicker they are
what can be deleted
There is much better way to clean SE garbage applications than manual delete
use SystemApp Remover it is commercial applications it can be found here http://www.androidzoom.com/android_applications/tools/systemapp-remover_kbyr.html
price is 1$
it works great on rooted x10i
applications are uninstalled from phone as they were never installed.
Safe to uninstall:
Korean keyboard
Japanese keyboard
Chinese keyboard
Danish keyboard
TrackID
moxiemail
quadrapop
backup & recovery
facebook
Wise Pilot
Creatouch
playnow and two accompanying files
there are some others like e-manual etc. But search forum for more complete list and SystemApp Remover can backup applications before uninstall so you can restore them if things go south
for contact backup use SE sync it is a good one if you use other SE phones
that's my 2 cents
R2R

[Q] Messaging and phone problem

Hello, I recently got a problem with my Xperia s. When I try to open Messages or phone app, the app wont load the contacts or messages, only shows blank screen/keyboard. I haven´t had this problem before, but now it suddenly appeared. I have tried to reflash the firmware (ICS) but still sometimes the problem exists. I sent even a mail to Sony support who said that i have to go to service. I am pretty sure that as it is software problem it could be fixed without service. I have unlocked bootloader.
Thanks if someone could help.
May HELP

Well Try Using Other Market Apps,Dnt Use The Stock!!!:good:
Still does not work , the contacts are loading slowly and messages notification appears after 5min but message arriving time is almost the same as it was when i sent ti. Eg. Send "Test" 01.01 arrives 01.06, but shows arriving time 01.01
Solved the prob I guess. Disabled mdssages , contacts and contact storage apps. Now messages arrive in time at least. Also some third party apps still show contacts. Think these apps were corrupt. Have to find new ones...
Edit: Contacts app isn't working, others work as they should..

nop... There is an solution, but it`s crapy...
I restored the device several times- installed other rooms and so one... They are not bloking the imei, but they are having some file on the phone, that includes the info about the violetion.
So the option is to reset the device to factory settings, install instagram,, opne it... Hit the Sign in button and then go to RAM clearing options- clear RAM memory and switch back to Instagram, but be sure the screen is where you must sign in the username and password and vuola... your in... After signing out, you must do the same thing when you need to sign in with other account or other one or creat new one... as soon as you pres sign in button- clear RAM and then sign in.
at the moment it`s the only solution I found, but have not been seeking for the option to find the file which is responsible for the info about the violetion.

[GO] Phone answering lags on 4.1.2

Maybe some of you recognised this problem too, but after I used the search button I didn't find anything.
So after I upgraded my ST27i from ICS to JB, I'm experiencing heavy lags when someone calls me. Usually when I try answer the call, I have to wait about 8-10 sec to actually answer that call and to start talking.
I've tried it on stock JB, and custom JB too but both of them have the same issue. On ICS everything is working fine without bugs.
Anyone got some solution for it?

Hi. Any solutions for this problem? Have been facing the same thing for months...
Delete call history
I think the only way to fix this is to download apps from play store call "Ex dialer"nearly all Xperia u user rate it 5 star.
Correct me if I'm wrong
If you have CWM, wipe cache partition and use Seeder 2.0

Can you please post the setup?
Finally I got some new results today, after struggling with this problem for months.
First I tried all the suggested methods (clearing the call log, installing all those apps), and none of them worked -- except CWM that I didn't try, because I wasn't root.
What solved my problem, was to do a clean flash (and wipe everything during flashing). The problem was totally gone. Note that "wiping every thing" during flashing is a key thing that I guess last time I hadn't done.
Everything was good until I restored all my backed up contacts -- around 1500 contacts. Then it was laggy again!
Then I again did a hard reset. Problem was gone again. But this time I was lucky enough to restore the contacts, and have my system in a healthy state -- no lags so far! I don't know what was different this time, but it's got to have something to do with the contacts!
I'll keep you updated if I find any changes -- worth reporting.

Finally I got some new results today, after struggling with this problem for months.
First I tried all the suggested methods (clearing the call log, installing all those apps), and none of them worked -- except CWM that I didn't try, because I wasn't root.

Just remove any VOIP software you have like viber,skype , etc. I know you might be using them but yeah sony's rom has issues with viber specially which causes this lag.. if u wanna use viber use a cm rom or stock ics, or gb. JB is buggy in terms of 3rd party VOIP support

Its da kernel that causes it because other phones use 3.4.0 but we use 3.0.8!

Should I unlock my bootloader & use a custom kernel? Will that solve the problem?

YouTube problem in z5c

I'm having this problem, is really annoying sometimes when I try to play videos on YouTube it says "There was a problem while playing. Touch to retry" I have to reboot my phone every single time that this happens, I don't know why, it's getting really annoying, what can I do?

I have the same problem.
suddenly, the camera stops working, and I get a message saying something like "the camera is in use by another application" message. and not in use by any application, or use a camera app third.
at the same time when the camera fails, if I put youtube I have the same error message, as if it had network, and you can not load the videos.
to me obliged to restart the terminal.
my phone is a compact Z5, yellow, it appears in the box 2.1 review.
bootloader currently open, had the installation stock, and to try to solve the problem I did a clean install of the latest version .200, with their wipes.
but the problem has resurfaced ...
any ideas?
Thank you, and happy holidays

I have the same camera problem. Also can't play videos on Twitter, either. It happens after a while, but the only solution I have found is to restart the device. Anyway it appears again after some time. It's really frustrating. I hope to find a solution to fix this. I'm in the latest firmware version. 200 and have an unlocked bootloader. Hope Sony fixes this in a future update. I'm waiting for a custom Rom also just to see if this problem disappears, but is a new device so I guess I'll have to wait. Glad to see I'm not the only one with this problem.
Thanks, Happy holidays! [emoji2]

I can also confirm both of those problems, both YouTube and camera. I also have unlocked bootloader and I'm running .152 currently. Really.. REALLY annoying. I can also confirm that the streaming problem doesn't only affect YouTube, but some other apps too, for example video streaming on Relay for Reddit or Facebook videos.
I'm running stock (locked bootloader) and I have the problem with the Youtube app. In my case, it happens with specific videos. I thought the problem was just the site being weird, but looks like that's not it.

Yeah, it also happens on other apps, like twitter, everytime I try to play a video it says "content not available" as I said the only solution I've found is restart the device, but after some time, the problem comes back again. It's really annoying because I have to restart the device every time. But for now I'm using Chrome to play Youtube videos. Another problem I have is that I can't add chrome bookmarks on desktop, it shows empty even though i have many bookmarks (including Youtube) , so I have to open Chrome app and then access Youtube. Hope the marshmallow update fix all this. Because it's really frustrating

I was getting the YouTube issue on every video, but clearing the phone's cache (fastboot erase cache) seems to have solved it.

Thanks for this reply. I'll try wiping the cache tomorrow and will report back if it fixes the problem for me.
My cousin has the same issue on Z3 Compact, after updating to Lollipop. On Kitkat it was fine. So it's certainly not device specific.

Can you do this with an locked bootloader? A bit funny though, since we did a factory reset, which would erase the cache partition.

I cleared phone's cache via recovery but the problem appears again after a while. Is there a difference if I use fastboot command?

I see, no there's no difference. I presume it has to do something with the system, then just being easily fixable with clearing cache.

Sadly, it didn't work for me. The problem is still there. I really hope this gets fixed in the Marschmallow update, I hate that I have to keep rebooting my phone.
problem still persists. sigh.
This is good news for me, I rooted mine the day I got it and thought it was ad blocker hanging up or something. I have to restart a few times a day to get by it.
The accessing sim notification is the worst though. That I wish I could fix.
Has anyone been experiencing this with the MM?
I can't recall this happening for about two weeks now.
Option to fix temporary

Before to start, I need to make clear some points. 1) I dont speak english very well 2) I am not a programmer
The youtube problem I fixed deleting the app and installed an old version.
The problem with the camera what I did was, I installed MM, and I used the official Kernel to root but I didnt install the Xposed.
I hope it helps you guys.

I'm experiencing this with MM update (currently .182). Can't open youtube videos, take movies with camera, or use creative effects / sweep panorama etc. Reboot helps just for a while.
EDIT:
I discovered that problem with creative effects / sweep panorama is unrelated to video problems. After restart I can watch youtube videos and make movies with camera, but creative effects or any app related with taking photos doesn't work. Its interesting because 4k and Timeshift Video works. Any clues? Maybe i disabled too much preloaded apps, who knows.
I see that this thread hasn't been that active lately. Are you still experiencing this because I am, and it's pissing me off.

yup, I recently moved up to marshmallow and its still there. Ive tried every youtube version known to man and it still happens. I have to reboot so many times a day its ridiculous.
edit: I have noticed its linked to all video playback on the device, snapchat videos do not work without a reboot either.

I didn't have this problem for a while but it has resurfaced again. When this happens I'm not able to play Facebook or Twitter videos & gifs, Youtube always says "There was a problem while playing. Touch to retry" it's frustrating I have to reboot phone to solve this and then it happens again every few hours or so.
