Xperia PLAY :: Can't Update R800a From 2.3.2 To 2.3.3 In Mexico Help!!
Jun 29, 2011
I just bought my play like a week ago and i actually love it at first. As i continued using my phone i saw the wifi was having problems, i thought it was because of my rooter but no. I tried with other devices (iphone) and (lg optimus 2x) and they worked perfectly. There i realized it wans't my rooter's problem but my phone's wifi. My wifi fades out, it's to unstable and it connects and disconnects ramdomly for no reason. I was looking for info in the net and i found there is this 2.3.3 update and i saw the bugs it fixes and well there it was wifi stability fixed and also it has a facebook integration. I was actually pretty happy when i saw this but i tried OTA pc companion and Update service and they all say the same lastest software installed. Though it said i had the latest software it was false i still have 2.3.2 and i'm getting pretty upset with this i can't use my phone as i wish to. You know when i bought was because i already have had an xperia x10 and it was a pretty good phone though i had to use flashtool with it to install multitouch because SE never released that update here in mexico. Well evertything was fine with my xperia x10 but then the play came out and i was like whoah perfect but yeah i got it and actually it has a nice camera nice hardware i love the controls evertything but my wifi ***** and it gets me mad and upset. I expect a response why hasn't sony released 2.3.3 in mexicoo ??? and when r we having this update my last 2 phones i've had to root because the software updates were never released and i actually don't want to do this with my play i wan't to keep it as it is without rooting it. please don't tell i'll have to root or unlock the bootloader with this phone to make it from r800a into a r800i to update an enjoy the 2.3.3.
I have been trying for months to update my none rooted xperia play from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 and now the new 4a update and my phone always says that the phone is already up to date but its not?
I haven an jailbroken iphone 4 unlock in mexico TECEL and everytime i plug it into my macbook it ask me for an update on the carrier or something like that, should i do it? or not? i dont wanna loose my unlock u_u
My phone recieved notification of a new software update yesterday, it also said i could update it over the air, then contradictid itself by saying i had to use the PC Companion software. Which i did use, i connected my phone, tried to update the software, but when i get to the change from MSC to MTP part, it trys to connect to my phone then says it cannot connect... ?I tried the Wi-Fi updated through the PC companion and the USB updater & they were both saying the same things...It just won't let me update and its really frustrating seeing as im following the instructions given to me...
My Xperia Play R800i is not show the update from 3.0.1.A.0.145, is the 2.368 is location dependent since i heard its for UK & my current location is India.
I've tried to update with sony pc companion my xperia play the version 4.0.2 to 4.0.42 but the software tell that I have to disconect mi celphone, put on power off and connect it again, I made that but my pc didn't found my phone
i recently got myself an xperia play (v 2.3.2) . when i try updating from my phone it says i have the latest update but i know for a fact that i dont.so i tried updating from pc companion it detects my phone but doesnt update, when i use update service it says that there is an error and cant update,
I have just got a new Xperia play R800i and I am trying to update my software to 3.0.1.A.0.145. The problem is my PC just hangs and I have to reeboot it. I have installed PC companion and it prompts me that there is an update available so I click to update and it goes through the process till it tell me to turn off the phone and press the back button while inseting the USB cable after that it says "Found New Hardware SEMC flash Device" then just hags and I have to restart the PC. I have dual boot windows XP and windows 7 and have tried both operating systems.
I keep on going to Settings>>>About Phone>>>Software Update>>>Update Now and it keeps saying my phone is up to date when it clearly is not. PC methods such as SEUS are not working either. I feel like my phone is left out in the cold.
I actually have a huge problem updating. 2 days ago I updated my wife's Xperia r800x. Now I try to update my Xperia r800x and at first it just says update failed and I try to use pc companion and update service and they both say there is no available update for your phone (Over the air update also fails). Now when I try to connect to an over the air update it says that there was an error try back again later and about 8 hours later i try again and still no luck! Pc companion and Sony update service are still saying the same thing (no available update for your phone). I have already tried the repair phone option also and this is really frustrating! I am guessing this might be a verizon problem for the over the air option but as far as sony's side i feel like i shouldn't be having this problem. Did they pull the update?
I had managed to update version to 2.3.3 from 2.3.2 during this week.But somehow, PC companion still shows me that I had new updates for my phone. So I did the 2nd update as follows on the instructions, and after reboot the phone, ALL my personal settings, messages, contacts, apps, games setting on the phone are gone!Luckily the phone was still new and i had a back up last few weeks ago.Hope Sony Ericcson will look into this issue and prevent it from happen on the next update!
I have an iphone 4 the network is from Mexico but I am currently in the UK, is there any chance to have unlocked so I can install a micro simcard so I can use it overhere in London?
I update my Xperia Play and now all the data was deleted. All my games are deleted and all my contacts. Any way to get them back back or did i have to pay for the games again?
After the update i don't see green/red light anymore only at power button (i see green light for sms)... At the spot where the front facing camera is, at previous days i could see notification light coming out from there (not only from power button) but now nothing.
i just updated my phone (which i have done before) and this time I have lost all my messages and some of these contained pictures i wanted to keep please tell m,e there is a way of retrieving them as I need them. i have updated my phone before this has never happened
I am having trouble with my Google play store. While I try to access it, it shows me an error that says "An application requires an update for Google play services".
i decided to root my XPeria play and i didn't know what would be the outcome of it. Since im use to iOS i though it would install something similiar to Cydia. Well, it didn't and i checked if it had any updates and there was. So it did all of its download process and installing but it told me in the end ''Error: Update Failed''. and so i tried PC Companion and that didn't work either. So im in need of removing the ROOT out of my phone and installing a new software update on it. Currently, im on version 2.3.3.
I have receive the new update from sony ericsson 4.0.A.2.368 but my android version is still 2.3.3 i've downloaded companion 2.01.231 and it sais that my phone is updated.
Does anyone know is SE has any intention of delivering the Adreno 205 driver update to the Xperia Play?The driver update was released by Qualcomm on 30th December at the end of last year and some devices (None of which are Xperia devices) have had the update which is believed to give a performance increase of upto 1.5x or even 2x in some cases depending on phone and app.I believe this has been discussed at some point for the Arc, which also has the same GPU as the Xperia Play. However would be more beneficial to the users of the Xperia Play as it would have a huge impact on how well games run on the device.
I've been looking all around the internets for how to root my r800at running 2.3.3, to no avail. It seems like there isn't any way to do this on the new .285 build. I have tried the DooMLord, UnlockRoot &Super OneClick approaches and all have failed. I have installed the Java JDK, Android SDK, and the SE PC Companion software on my computer, so if any of that is useful, I'm willing to use it. I am a complete noob, but finally decided to root after constantly getting the "Low on space" error message every time I try to update something for the last week. I'm looking for a solution to either a) root the phone without unlocking the bootloader (which is my first choice) or b) solve the "low on space" issue. I love my XPERIA Play and changing phones is not something I'm willing to do. Hopefully you guys can help. Also, being a noob, any answers provided should be done with the mindset that you're talking to a five-year-old.
I used to play games on GB n theres nothing wrong all going smooth, but after using ICS I can't play it. E.g: asphalt6 or street fighter 4 (after a moment it FC, it has weird graphic or artifact).
I upgraded my firmware with PC Companion.I have been using my Xperia without any problem till the update for a year. After the update I placed my sim card, it asked for SIM PIN and the pin accepted. I waited for the region, chose it, then it poped out Please insert SIM and restart. I tried everything, reseat the SIM,checked my SIM, it is fine with other mobiles, wiped it, as I said before it asks for pin, then I went through changing the pin number, it said there is no sim card.
I've had an issue since the update with any video taken and written to the micro sd card producing 'cannot play' The meta data is there but the file size registers as 0k.
