Xperia Mini/pro :: Electrostatic Noise After ICS Upgrade
Jun 14, 2012
I had Gingerbread 4.0.2.A.0.62 and no electrostatic noise in video capture (voice recorder programs had noise but not the video capture programs). Yesterday I upgraded to ICS and now it makes this cicada noise when recording video in QVGA and VGA modes but not in 720p and FWVGA and the video consumes alot of MB very fast.
I'm looking forward to buy an Xperia Mini Pro. And I heard that there is an Electrostatic NOISE coming out from that phone. Is it true? If so what is the manufactured date rage which has the fault? can it be 100% solved with the software upgrade ?
I want to sent it to warranty service. When I keep my phone in hand signal vary all the time and very often i can see that i have no access to my network, it happens also in big city. The other problem is electrostatic noise which was mentioned several times. I'm afraid service will do nothing so I wanted to ask what should I do to get my phone fixed (I read a lot of people had to sent their phone several times and wait 2 weeks every time until it was fine).
I've been a happy xperia mini pro (android 4.0.4) owner for 8 months however today i started experiencing a repetitive static noise thump which appeared during all my calls. I wanted to find out more about this problem eventually any fixes, and if problems such as this would be covered by the warranty.
Everytime I receive a phonecall my phone neither makes a noise or vibrates I set the ringtone back (a song on my memory card) and i've set the volume to max but somewhere down the line it reverts back to ringone being set to 'none'
During phone calls, for no particular reason, a specific noise appears and I can't continue the conversation. Just hang up and call again. The same noise can be heard by the other side too.
Friends described it "like aliens invaded my phone"
I have updated my phone, tried the "repair" option on my PC and nothing? This malfunction costed me a lot!
I tried to update my Xperia X10 mini pro into android 2.1. But during the preparing of the update I got a message that was like: PC Companion couldenīt preparestart the Components that were used in this update.
My Xperia mini Pro tells me that a new version is available : 4.0.2.A.0.62. It tells me to connect the mobile to my PC (seven) with PC Companion. I did it, the process starts normally, download it's package from the web but on step 3 I got this message from outerspace : "Your IP address is not allowed to update/repair brown phone. Please contact to the SEMC network to update your phone"
What is this kind of message ??? What has my IP address to do with my mobile ?

Just got my new SE XPERIA Mini Pro. When searching for apps on Andori Market, I understand I need Android 2.2 for many of them. Can I upgrade from Android 2.1 to 2.2?

I have downloaded the latest version of pc companion and update service and when i connect to update it says i am running the latest software. I am unable to send files via bluetooth so must definatley still be running 1.6. can anyone help me and advise me how i can upgrade from 1.6 to 2.1?
I'm using SE Experia Mini. After i upgraded my software, I got problem receiving MMS. Any solutions to dat? Tried contacting my phone operator, but they also cannot help..
There was an upgrade which installed all Vodafone 360 apps on my xperia x10 mini. From that moment on my email app is not working anymore. Everytime I start the app it comes up with greyed out account and password field. I can not setup the account I had setup before. The user field says "null@vodafone.ie". I looked around in the settings trying to find a solution and found that the Baseband version is "Unknown". I need urgently a fix for this as I need the email for work. I tried PC companion to upgrade/downgrade but when the upgrade engine starts it comes up with an error that it can not be started and I should contact Sony Ericson.
I bought this phone about a month ago.PC Companion but can not find the upgrade to Android ICS.Sony is still releasing updates for other SI codes, or is it all finished and I'll never have to upgrade to ICS?
After upgrading my Xperia X10 Mini Pro from Android 1.6 to Android 2.1 the phone keeps on switching off and restarting itself automatically on any given moment during the day (at least 2 or 3 times a day).It happens even/especially when I am not using any apps. So there does not seem to be any reason for restarting.
i have my Sony sk17a, iīm stay in Latin America and, when i search my model sl 1251-9442 donīt appears in the list than have upgrade, i want to know why, and if have upgrade when come to my country. iīm very sad, because itīs excellent smartphone and i donīt want to change.
I am extremely disappointed with Sony.I purchased my first sony phone Xperia mini Pro. With GB all 3 G data connection and all network connections worked perfectly fine.Upgraded to official ICS. Now I can not connect to 3 G data network at all.Wasted almost 2 days thinking that this is a problem with my network service provider.After searching Google it looks like bug in Sony ICS upgrade. I had a high respect for Sony. Now I feel terrible. I feel my switching from Nokia to Sony is a big mistake.I am from India. Can any body tell me how to fix this problem on ICS on Sony Xperia Mini pro.Should I go back to GB ?
i have successfully upgraded to 2.1.Still facing some problems...My Notification tone always beeps with a vibrating mode as well...When i tried to disable the vibration mode, To my surprise i could not find SMS settings option in the SettingsSonyericsson?? menu....i have settings for camera, timescape only..So shud i repair my upgrade?
I live in the Philippines and I have been trying and trying to update my phone to 2.1 in my computer and I always get the same results. My OS is windows XP and I have tried both PC companion and SE Update service for the upgrade. When it comes to the part where I have to "turn off the phone...wait for 5 or 30 secs, connect the cables etc then press the back button while inserting the microUSB into the phone"....then nothing happens. My computer just freezes after a few minutes with nothing indicating on the screen that something...anything is going on. I have tried this several times and for several days already.
First of all, sorry in advance for any mistakes, because I just crated my account here.I just tried to update Android 2.1. As I correctly followed the steps from PC Companion, still the firmware version shows 1.6 version. The only change that I saw in my mobile was the Backup and Restore was added to my home screen.My questions are:
If I beckup my files would the software will update to 2.1 version?Even if I try to update the software through PC Companion, is it necessary that the software have to be available in my country ?Btw, I am using T-mobile operator in Macedonia (FYROM).
yesterday i was updating my x10mini to new android and the update was successful without error, but everytime i restart my phone, system will ask for select language.
Regarding the gallery for every time we need to go to application manager in settings, clear cache. is there any permanent solution to see the files in gallery directly and how can i upgrade my android 2.3 to 3.2 or 4 version.
