Xperia Pro/Neo/V/L :: Upgrade Sony Ericsson To ICS 4.0.4 By First Downgrading To 2.3.1?
May 19, 2012
i am waiting for the ICS 4.0.4 update for my xperia neo. my SI no. is not in the list yet. but i wanna ask this question. is it possible for me to upgrade to ICS 4.0.4 by first downgrading to the factory default 2.3.1?? the reason im asking this is that ever since i upgraded from 2.3.1 to 2.3.4 i have been getting this O2 operator start-up n shutdown screens on my phone as well as apps like O2 priority moments which i just cant delete. my phone is not network branded in ANY WAY. i dont even use O2 service. i tried uninstalling and reinstalling the 2.3.4 update several times, but the O2 thing never goes off. but wenever i did a factory reset n revert back to the factory default 2.3.1, the phone is fine with no signs of O2. so plz clarify on this. is it ok to downgrade n then upgrade to ICS?

Sony Ericsson people I am waiting patiently for the upgrade to this OS, what really is the real situation, is there any possibility? If there is no more plan for you to upgrade this OS to symbian 3, I am willing to pay an extra cost for that OS so that I can maximize my phone usage, and applications we are longing to try. If there is any possibility and I do hope so, please tell us,(your avid and loyal customers) so that we can be proud once again having a good phone with good features, unlike now this brand is not gaining popularity because of OS.

I'm just wondering whether or not to try installing the new software for my Vivaz (i think the latest version is R2CA024) Back in March I installed the R2AA030 via PC Suite, I did as the process recommended and backed up all my data, only to find that every app and game I had bought and installed to that point had been removed.
I contacted Sony Ericcson about this and they advised that the licences are removed when the symbian system is reset/updated. They were kind enough to re-apply the already purchased apps and games from PLAYnow back into my download folder, allowing me to re-install them. I have since re-bought all the ORANGE content and just took the hit on price. (PLAYnow content been removed again since re-download) If I try to update, am I likely to lose all the licences again? I really don't want to have to buy my apps and games a third time. Is the update worth the bother? NB. support says that apps and games can be re-installed from the 'installation files' folder on the MC, but I checked this folder is already empty.

so far I've put threaded SMS onto my phone (and it feels like a brand new phone!), but I know there's all kinds of things that you can do to customize the phone this way. what kind of tweaks have you done with your phone? I'd like some ideas to play around with possibly.also, is there a way to copy files FROM the phone using a2uploader? I would like to read the customize.xml file but it always gives a READ ERROR then I have to unplug the phone and redo the connection and I get nowhere.

I have Phone A which I was told to upgrade to resolve an issue. Before upgrading, I used manage messages to copy messages by a specific contact to my memory card. After backing up, I checked the memory card tab to see that those messages had been transferred they had. I removed the memory card so the upgrade won't accidently delete stuff on there from Phone A and continued with the upgrade. After the upgrade, I put the memory card back in and went to manage messages to restore them nothing showed.
I was on the phone to sony ericsson for half hour and they couldn't figure out why they were not showing, saying I had not backed them up, but I know I had. I have another phone which is the same as Phone A. I inserted the memory card into Phone B, went to manage messages. It showed messages on the card, but those that I must have backed up a few months ago rather than those I backed up today which didn't show in Phone A
It seems it only reads SMS's on the card dependant on the firmware version. How can I retrieve the messages I backed up today? I've been told I can't rollback the firmware version and even if I did, I didn't note down what it was. Those messages were REALLY importants and I would very much like to get them back.

I updated my Xperia Pro to ICS 3 days back. As a result of that, phone became sluggish and slow. Notification bar icons to the left base dull and small. I want to downgrade back to GingerBread. My warranty has not yet expired.

I recently upgraded my Xperia Neo V OS version from 2.3.4 to 4.0.3. Though the look and feel are fine, after 1 week's use, realized that older version [2.3.4 Gingerbread] is much comfortable.

I thought I may start an Elm/Hazel thread for discussion as it seems many of you have one of the two phones now. I wanted to do this to discuss any problems with things like firmware & issues & other stuff rather than discussing this in the picture thread.

I think the fone fell, cause it was dusty or maybe its because it was charged using the USB cable. What can be the possible cause of the phone not to turn ON?

As the title implies, I need to ask if there are varying kinds of Sony Ericsson LCD screens for the G705 or if there are variations in models made. Nearly 6 months ago I bought a Sony Ericsson G705 phone off eBay that only needed a new LCD screen. Well I purchased a screen off eBaand was good to go except for a few minor issues...
1.) The LCD screen had a thicker screen/border than the original so I had to mod it by taking off the white border around it.
2.) The ribbon that connects the LCD screen to the G705's keypad wasn't aligned correctly causing it to disconnect from the keypad every so often. This too I had to fix by sticking some paper underneath where the connector sits. It worked after the modifications but the end result is the keypad was raised causing issues where pushing the up key would force it to push the left key too. Unfortunately after awhile the screen stopped working likely due to the fact the different layers were separating. I gave in and bought a new screen from an online dealer elsewhere just to get scammed in the end with a broken LCD screen which they refused to replace claiming I cracked it. So now I've purchased a new screen of eBay yet this one has issues too, it's thinner than the first one I got, but has the same problem where the ribbon doesn't appear to be aligned correctly either. This time however, I get some ugly dead pixels in the lower left corner of the screen and the rest is completely jumbled with white lines going through it. I've already contacted the seller for an exchange and am about to lose all hope getting this phone working. Anyway, back to the topic. Do the screens in the G705 vary from region to region or between versions? When I got it I found the phone was from Hong Kong (firmware was HK anyway.) though the manual and included paperwork suggested it was from France. The screens I have purchased seemed to have varying differences between either the thickness is too wide, the ribbon doesn't fit the correct position, or some other incompatibility. I bought this phone.

I've followed the correct configuration settings for my mobile operator in the Philippines which is Globe Telecom. Still I can't connect. There is no signal indicator appearing on the upper part of the screen like 3G/HSDPA/EDGE/GPRS. Just plain signal bars. Is that ok? Is the signal means GSM only and no Data signal?
But when I tried to used other mobile operator like Smart Telecom, it perfectly worked.

How can I sync the calender and contact in my at&t C905a to the new at&t Xperia X10? On AT&T's site,it says to use PC Suite,which I already have in my notebook pc to back up and sync with Outlook in my pc. Is this true? And why can't I sync using SE Sync? Is it because the phone (C905a) is locked out?

I have been trying to synchronise my Xperia X8 to the Sony Ericsson website. It worked the first time when I set up the sync, and managed to copy over my calendar. However, my contacts weren't backed up on the website, so I tried again to synchronise my phone via the sync 'app' on my phone (as before) to copy them over, too, but a message kept popping up in the status bar of my phone saying 'No network access. Please try again later.' My network coverage is '3 out of 4 bars', according to my phone, so it should be quite strong. I have been trying repeatedly to sync over at least 3 hours, but with no success, and the same message keeps popping up, regardless of the fact that my phone shows a good network coverage.

My phone looks like a tiny brick now. I can't reset it, I can't upgrade/fix/repair because it's stuck at the SE logo. It happened after internet browsing I've been prompted to forcefully close the browser, then later on it wants me to close the SE home app, then finally it's reset and I can only see until the SE logo.
I tried removing the battery for more than 10 secs, pluggin the usb cable while pressing back - still can't connect to pc. I tried holding down power+home, nothing.
Is there a hard reset button somewhere I can use? I'd rather reset everything with all my data than send it over to SE support since that means it'll take weeks with no phone

I have just spent ages typing all my contacts on the Sony Ericsson website. I then connected my phone and did the sync. All appeared to go well... appeared. The problem is is that all contact names were transferred, but very little of the actual contact details. Only one phone number or an email address, but never a street address, birthday etc etc. I don't have an sd card. Could that be it? Just the most basic information has been transferred. I have no idea what I'm doing wrong/what step I've missed.
