I've got a Sony Ericsson X10 Mini Pro that's working fine. Then i saw that there was a update! So i plug in my phone and press update on PC Companion. However, the 'Preparing the computer for the software update' takes pretty long.. It stalls at about 30 / 35 %. I already re-installed PC Companion. My internet connection is perfectly fine. Running Windows 7 and I never had this problem before..

Been trying to update my Z3 through pc companion for days now. The new lollipop update. Every time it gets stuck at 'preparing'.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have tried several times to update my z3 to 23.4.a.1.200. When I connect via USB it tells me update is available but keeps sticking at preparing computer for update.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled pc companion 4 times. It sat on preparing for over 4 hours last try with no movement at all...
I am doing the updates on my x10 for the first time, I have followed the instructions on how to back up the data, (which I have done) and when I press on do updates it goes through 3/4 of the preparing and then says the update of software failed and just tells me to consult sony ericsson support. I am connected through usb cable.

I don't want to cancel it, because iRecovery didn't work the last time this happened to one of my devices, and I had to restore.

Ovi appears to have identified relevant updates and backed up the data on my phone. Ovi suite states that it is preparing to install. It has been like this for 4 hours. There is a warning not to disconnect the USB or switch off the phone or the phone may stop working. When I try to close Ovi suite it says it cannot be closed because it is busy. There is no option to cancel the install. My only options appear to be to shut down the PC or unplug the cable. Wish I had not started on this process.
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've had my xperia x8 since june no problems at all until sunday....I let the phone run out of battery...(the battery life is pretty awful even after all the tips) and when I charged it and turned it on it said it was preparing sd card checking for errors on the notification bit. Its not said that since i had it intitially. This notification did not go away and actually made my phone slow down then go blank then behave completely irratically (almost like a computer does when its being affected by a virus)
I tried turning off ...taking out battery...taking out sd card..taking out sim card...turning on...and a combination of all these to see if it changed but it just keeps preparing sd card /checking sd card for errors....it was fine the other day what has changed?
My SD card is not corrupted, i checked it in other mobile, it was able to read all the contents of the card. And when i tried to read other memory card, its not reading.So i concluded that the problem is with my phone's memory card reader.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI have upgraded to 2.1-update 1,I have been trying to move my phone album to my laptop and have tried Bluetooth as well as USB connection for the same but its not working.
Problems faced:
1. I am not able to select several photos for transfer. On tapping the photo, options are "Use as wallpaper" or "Use as contact picture". The menu button only gives option as "Delete several"
2. Even though bluetooth is turned on for phone as well as laptop and they are in sync, when i send the file, it encounters some error and the file transfer doesnot take place.
3. When I connected through USB, the album was blank. The only option I got was opening the camera
Is there anyway of connecting an X10 to and Apple Mac computer?
View 4 Replies View RelatedI've been having problems with my phone recently, it doesn't recieve some text messages or show my missed calls. A friend suggested that it may just need updating, which made sense because I'd been getting update notifications, just hadn't got round to hooking my ohone up to my laptop. So I did just that and installed the 'companion' but when I try to update, it's asking me to insert a memory card. I've never taken it out! Not once. So i've turned the phone off and on again, as you do.

Is there anyone has the solution? It has 2.1 Android.

View 6 Replies View RelatedI just updated my Xperia Mini Pro, but after the update, a) new text messages appear at the bottom of the list of texts (so annoying!) and b) the newest text message does not appear on the list when I reply to it.Is this a bug? I really don't think it's a feature.
View 2 Replies View RelatedJust wanted to share my experience. I did the update on November 8. I didn't bother to do the backup. The only real important is the contacts and Google have them already. I used the Update Service tool and it worked like a charm. After restarting the phone I had to go through the setup wizard, which by the way is much improved. I now realized that I had lost all my downloaded applications. I downloaded them again from market. Most of them had all the old data, nice. Some games lost all history, no big deal really. My contacts, mail and calendar was downloaded from Google.
I realy like the fact that it is possible to send contacts by SMS. The images from facebook also works very well.
The one thing that I am still not used to is the unlooking. The habbit of pressing the menu button twice is had to kick. I think the new way with the slider is somewhat safer.Now I am waiting 2.2 with tethering. I hope this will be available for X10 mini some time in the future.
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.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just upgraded my mini pro to ICS, it works fine in the first few moments until I realized that my phone can't:
1. Show any album art/cover from the music player. I've tried using the Sony Media Go to add the album arts to the file properties, still it didn't work. Only the 'default' songs from the product i.e brett5000: Globalization, missquerada: Far from love, and 2 others, can display their album cover
2. Update songs. Any new songs that I put into my phone through Sony Media Go aren't shown in the music player, only the old ones are present (though I've deleted it). I found the files when I opened it using a file manager program from the Play Store, but when I played it, none of its properties are present except the title of the song itself. It's not even present in the music player
How do I prevent Update Manager showing me recent the firmware update? My device is working fine at the moment and there is no reason to change this.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI received a message on my XPeria Mini Pro about the 4.1.B.0.587 Update. In fact, I can not install it. When I start the PC Companion software, it finds the connected Phone. Then I click on update. In the following window I click "Accept" and then the software should prepare the PC for the update. But after one second it stops and returns to Start without any comment. When I start Sony Mobile Update Service then it checks for new updates. As soon as the check is over, the program terminates without any comment. Is there a third way to upgrade?
My config:
PC with AMD, Windows 7 64 Bit, 16GB RAM
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).
