Xperia X10 :: Computer Crashes When Trying To Update To Android 2.1?
Feb 6, 2011
I've been trying to update my x10 to Android 2.1 I can't get past the stage where I have to turn the phone off and turn it on again with the back button pressed when connecting the usb lead.The phone starts up but the computer freezes up. I have to reset the computer to get it going again. I've tried turning off my anti virius software but this made no difference.
I was updating the firmware of my C7 today when my computer crashed and BSOD appeared. Now, the phone is dead and I am unable to start it up. When I push the power on button, the phone vibrates for a second and that's it!
Finally the ICS update has become available for my phone (SI 1253-7151) -PC Companion pops up a message about the new update. If I click "Update", PC Companion starts downloading the update, finishes the download and says "Preparing computer for program updates". Then it proceeds to "Unable to install or start components for update of phone system" and my phone does not get updated.Then I have tried Sony Update Service, but now I can't even start it properly; the program crashes right after opening it. It just says "Synchronizing" and then "An unexpected error has occured. The application will shut down." so I never get any possibility to see why.Again, my phone does not get updated. Since both programs crash there must be a serious problem with the downloaded files (and they're probably shared between the programs?).Apparently I'm not the only one experiencing it; I can see in a Norwegian forum that other people have the same problem - and in the original thread that you have hidden (!).
PS. The original thread was not mine; I just replied to it since I had the exact same problem. Regarding the new "moderation strategy" I believe that the above question is not rude, it's not spam - and reposting the question is necessary when the issue has not been resolved and the original thread has disappeared..
I updated to build 435 yesterday. Since then, the default calendar app force closes (com.android.calendar). I have tried rebooting, doesn't help.I sync my calendar with outlook through google. There are some semi-advanced entries there, ie meetings with replies. However, problem persists when I disable that calendar from my outlook.Calendar data is accessible for my agenda widget. Data shown on the widget is even updated when I add data to my google calendar.
I did ICS update to Neo V through PC Companion and upgrade went fine. But after that, I am observing crash or hang issue very frequently and even power off also doesn't work in that condition. Only option I left out is to remove battery and put it again so that it will shut down the phone and I will be able to start it and use it. I got to know if you format SD Card and repair your phone through PC Companion, then this problem will be resolved. I have done the same but still m facing this issue but less frequent than previous. And to add to this, I observed that it generally crash when I open GTalk.
I am a X10 mini user frm India. After Android 2.1 update, While I connect to PC if I select Charge Phone its charging. But if I select Connect your Phone it connects, then suddenly phone restarts.
the phone was purchased 4 months ago and regularly freezes and crashes when using it. The software also sometimes will perform the wrong function when an icon or button on the phone is pressed. I have tried updating the software to see if that would help but for the last 2 weeks I have been told that the Update Centre is overloaded and I can't download the new software.
I have to either unplug it and plug it back in, restart my trip, or if I'm lucky, just hit the home button on my HU and click back on the app. But I still have to restart my trip.
This happens every single time every 10-15 minutes. Very annoying. I have uninstalled the app and redownloaded it. Still the same thing.
how to get rid of this ICS update and update into the old android version. I am having some serious problems whith my phone after ICS update (physical keyboard not working, problems in adding phone contacts, reboots after every app close, acting slow).
Well I have a 9900 Bold. Suddenly without updating anything i plugged it in my computer to charge it and as soon as i connect the connector the phone shuts down with the red light flashing. I reopen the phone to charge it into the wall... Same thing as soon as the connecter enters, phone crash. So I have no way to charge it. I thought it was a battery default so I bought a new battery. Same thing happen, In anything i try to connect the phone it crashes. I wanted to reset the OS but how can i do it if i cant plug the phone.
Currently my android v 2.3.4 and Build version 4. How can i update android v4. Android v4 is available now? If it is how can i update? When i updating is it losse my existing data?
I have been trying to update my x10 from 1.6 to 2.1, however even when i follow the videos which have been posted i cannot for the life of me work out how to get it to update to 2.1. It just keeps saying that it has the most up to date software and thats it, and my phone hasn't updated!
I have just brought a Xperia X8. I am trying to upgrade it to Android 2.1 from 1.6. Both Pc companion and Update services both say my phone is up to date.
Is anyone else having problems with their computer crashing when you connect your phone to the computer via USB cable? This was a pre-existing problem before but it was solved by checking USB debugging (or vice-versa). But after the software upgrade to 4.0.4, I get the blue-screen-of-death and the computer crashes every time no matter which setting I choose for the USB debugging. This makes it almost impossible to transfer files between my computer and phone.
Everytime that i try to use the Android market it comes up "Sorry! The application market (process.com.vending) has stopped unexpectedly."And now that i have tried to update the phone to the latest software it wont let me
Okay, so I have received my Sony Ericsson Xperia x10 today, and I just looked and it has really old firmware as for a 1.6 OS. Okay, I called Customer Support, and they told me that the Firmware isn't released for US AT&T yet, and they are currently working on it. Well I WANT IT NOW, i mean i have seen firmware 2.1 and it seems legit and I don't want to do a generic or flash(or whatever its called) because I don't wanna mess up my phone. and then not be able to download the actual firmware, or crash my phone and break it ya know? Someone make me feel better about all this because its an amazing phone!
i was trying to update my phone Neo V software with sony PC companion but while updating im getting this error message "unable to install or start phone softwear update component". what shall i do.
I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V With ICS 4.0.3 nordic And when i used to have the gingerbread 2.3.4 my phone was faster than it is now...It take lots of seconds to open the contacts or just the Telephone...
I have a new Xperia mini (ST15i) and issues with the screen (instable, sometimes I have to pull out the battery). I red that an upgrade to Android 4 might solve the issue. See current version below.
I've tried to upgrade with PC Companion but the software sais that the phone is allready up-to-date. I also tried "repair" but that installs the same firm- and software that is allready on it
How can I upgrade to Android 4 and/or solve the issue?
I installed android 2.1 today but for some reason I can't restore my contacts.I followed the instructions on the sony ericsson webpage and used the SE backup software to make a backup of my contacts, mms, photos etc.When I restored everything after the update everything was restored except my contacts. How can I get my contacts back? Is there some way to extract them manually from the backup file or something? The backup software can't seem to restore them for me...
