Xperia X8 :: Can't Upgrade To Latest Android Version
Dec 5, 2011
I have xeperia X8 since 1 yr. just recently found out that I have android version 1.6. so wanted to upgrade it to android 2.1 or higher. saw few threads & found that after backing up phone data I can run PC software & the software installer will update it to Android 2.1 but when i click on support zone > software update in pc companion, it says "your phone has already updated software". I dont know why its showing that & not downloading the android version. Should I update the PC companion software also?
The device has been bought from Three Network in UK as Pay As You GO method., and few days before i got the sim unlock code to use this device in India. The device has been installed with Android 1.6 and i want it to upgrade it with version 2.1. I just want to know whether upgrade of this new version creates any damage to the device or is there any chance of getting sim lock again.
Since the last android update I have 3 problems, possibly connected: -
1) I lose reception and do not re-acquire a signal until I reboot or turn on/off airplane mode.
2) Calls to me go straight to voicemail even when I have reception.
3) SMS message take up to hours to get to me
So, I've done the usual thing and read all over the internet and I see several people with same/similar issues.
I seem to have 'resolved' the issue with a workaround: I change the network mode from "GSM/WCDMA auto" to "WCDMA only" or "GSM only". Of course this is NOT acceptable - in 3G mode I have bad coverage and in 2G mode I have bad data speed - that's why the auto mode is there!
Of course, when I contact support they give all sorts of (already tried) testing measures culminating in a hard reset, which I *really* do *not* want to do, and then the ultimate threat of 'sending it for repair' which I also don't want to do since it probably isn't broken and just needs a software patch and I don't want to spend ages without it and go around in circles with refurbished/new phones.
Can anyone out there reassure me that they know what the issue is and what I really need to do, not just guess at it and offer unpleasant testing measures?
my recovery after I installed the latest android version(also installed custom rom and elementalx kernel, but I don't think it has anything to do with it), when I try to flash recovery, it works basically, but whenever I start the phone it automatically goes into recovery, and the only way to fix it is to flash another boot.img file, it reboots fine when I do it, but then I don't have recovery only the dead red triangle thing (Don't give me the power+vol fix, that's not the solution I'm looking for, as its not a very useful recovery), I tried to flash few recoveries/other boot.img files, but none of them boot regulary + recovery is working..I doubt its a problem with the boot.img I try to flash, because I tried so many and it didn't worked, anyway.
My android market is not updating to the latest version i.e. 3.xx stuck on 2.xx. How do I get it self updated instead of using an external apk to install?
I'm unable to upgrade to the latest version of Quickoffice. I've tried both options offered in the application - download and e-mail, but neither work. When I try to download, the application stops responding and when I use the e-mail option, the application reports that the process was successfully completed, but I don't receive an e-mail. My phone can access Internet normally.
I recently upgraded my DroidX Android to Version 2.3.3. My System version is 4.5.605.MB810Verizon,en.US.After the upgrade, my app tray went missing. How do I get this back?
From last month i found that sometime my xperia mini's back button is not working.it's working after press home key or after keypad lock and unlock.i already have latest 0.62 software version and also it was working fine with this update up to 3 to 4 months.i didn't change anything then why this is happening?
I Have installed officially the new anroid 4 ICS on my Xperia Pro and many of my games aren't working and just crash and close the moment i pay the game.i want back my old anroid but i know that i can only do this in the service center.I need to know if there's an other way to downgrade my android with rooting or with flashing or anything else .JUST GIVE ME BACK MY ANDROID i agreed to install android 4 because i was thinking it was better and improved but how i see it causes me much more problems ,even if it's more exciting than the old android i don't need it if it doesn't work right.
I have Android 2.1.1.A.0.6 installed on my mobile phone. I would like to update the version. I have tried it with the help of PC Companion, but it is not working. How can I do this?
My mini pro came with android 2.3.4 installed, but I'm reading here about Android 4.x being available.But onboard software updater says my phone is up to date.Where is the truth?
I know that Android 2.1 is not available yet, but when it is how will I update? Isn't their a feature in the phone that you can update it with or does it need to be done another way?
Godd news for X10 owners!We just released a new version of the Gmail app in Android Market, so Gmail updates aren't tied to Android version releases anymore. Now you can get new Gmail stuff faster without having to wait for system updates. To start you off, we've improved message replies, access to quoted text, and more.
just did the latest upgrade on my x10 thru PC companion...it was done properly. However, I don't notice anything changed esp. on the dual touch (tried gallery/angry bird/browser and even multi touch tester), nothing happened. What's wrong? Is it possible the update actually missing some crucial files?
I've updated X8 from 1.6 android version to 2.1 and the home (middle) button doesn't work anymore. Also the touch screen sometimes doesn't respond. I regret for updating because before this everything was working perfect. I've carefully done step by step the update according to the instructions on PC companion and on site. So is there a way to delete the 2.1 update and return to the root version 1.6?
I recently updated my Xperia ST15i to New Version 4.1.B.0.587 and after updating i feel that Old Version was very good in terms of both attraction and as well as Performance. Is there anyway to roll back to the previous version.
I have bought a sony Xperia mini pro SK17i few months ago; yesterday i got a notification that there is an android update is available for my phone. I was downloading that and start installing, few minutes later the phone switched off automatically and i was unable to switch it on again.
i was happy few days back since my xperia min pro was updated to 4.0. But now i started to hate ICS update because my front camera is not working. If any one planning to update its better you don't update it..
After the software update on my Sony Xperia Ray to android-version 4.0.4 Build-number 4.1.B.0.431 it is not possible to connect to my Bluetooth car kit.I'm using a Opel Corsa Touch & Go. This car audio & navigation system can be used as car kit with Bluetooth telephones.To solve the problem Opel has updated the software in the Opel Corsa Touch & Go but without success for my on the Sony Xperia Ray and my wife's Sony Xperia Neo V.It works fine with the Apple iPad and the HTC One without any problem.So I guess Sony added some extra software to the Android OS that corrupts the Bluetooth connection.First I start the car kit with the option pairing. The car kit pups-up with a mesage that the phone has to connect with pin code 9876.Then I start pairing from my phone connecting to the car kit. But there is no dialog box shown on my Sony Xperia phone where I can type in the pin-code. The car kit returns immediately with the message "unable to connect, wrong pin code".On a iPad a dialog is shown to fill in the pin-code.
I upgrade my xperia pro for the latest version and the internet connection goes too slow did some body knows how can I make it faster or when is going to make another upgrade?
Today I uploaded the firmware through Sony PC Companion to Android Version 4.0.4 build 4.1.B.0.587. After that my wireless connectivity that was working fine, stopped working.
My Wifi is secured and before I give the password, it says the signal strength is Excellent. After that, it says Signal strength is Poor and tries to keep connecting.
