Xperia Mini/pro :: Update Suddenly Stops And Go Back To Home Screen
Oct 2, 2012
I am just updating my xperia pro to the new update ICS. And when it comes to the stage of "PREPARE" its loading, but then halfway through, the update suddenly stops and go back to the home screen of PC companion, I don't know what to do, I keep on repeating it but doesn't seem to pass by the stage of prepare.
When I hold and press my home screen it brings up the menu to change my wallpaper, I can move the widgets around in the 4 corners of my Xperia Mini 10 but I want my clock back in the middle of my home screen.....
After update to latest firmware today my x10 mini pro cannot load home screen. It come out errorSorry! The application Home Screen (process com.sonyericsson.homescreen) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
I want this update real bad. But when I set it for update finish following the instructions for backup after installing the new backup software. It moves to step 2 of 4 and then stops around 30-50% and the below message is displayed. Unable to install or start phone software update components.
My mini pro started behaving weird lately. A few days ago the touch screen stopped working. The phone was not responding to anything but the hardware buttons. I was already prepared to take it to repair, but after 2 days I restarted it and everything was back to normal.This time it worked for about a day and then again...while unlocking it the touch screen went dead. Keeping it turned off for a day "solved" it this time. It can't be a complete hardware defect, otherwise it wouldn't just start working again after some time.
Been having the phone for a few months but surprisingly just noticed it, does the phone home button have a back-light? Want to know if there is a hardware issue.
My touch screen suddenly stops working. It will not start working again unless I take the batt out.. this only works for a short while however. Many people seems to be having the same problem, my phone is only a few months old and has not been dropped.
I updated my x10 mini pro a few days ago to android 2.1 The problem is that after the update the menu, home and back keys don't work after screen timeout so I have to press the key on the top of the phone to activate the screen and then unlock it.The point is why the hardware keys on the front don't work after screen timeout? Pressing the key on the top and then unlocking the phone can be really annoying...
How can I make my home screen blank, that is, it should only show the wallpaper and no widgets?
Reason being, I found a cool live wallpaper "analogy clock live wallpaper" which serves purpose of a analog clock. And obviously I do not want any widget to cover this LWP.
my sonyericsson xperia x10 mini pro home screen doesnot opening.when i start the phone it shows sorry home screen stopped unexpectedly. so i cannot see anything .
Is there anyway to increase the homescreen number, (Samsung has got 7!!!)? Also, Is there anyway to add different wallpapers for different homescreens without using launcher apps ?
my email app and my browser have been force closong randomly but now my homescreen, I have to restart it or wait 10 minutes. what is the problem, why cant sony update the phone. I have sent emails to sony to tell how to stop but no response? I will get another phone if they dont fix this. I have recieved the worst suport from sony which i didnt expect from such a big company.
today i just upgrade my xperia mini pro SK17i to build number 4.0.2.A.0.58, after this update, my back and menu button begin to be unresponsive or lagged significantly, the backlight of these two button also not turn on.the responsiveness of home button is not affected at all, so I'm not sure what is the source of the problem here.for example, let me demonstrate here:
1. unlock my phone - by slide to right > press the corner shortcut - animation is smooth > press the mail icon - open mail and I can imediately scroll down with no lag > press back button...wait up to 3 second and then it go back to home screen or worse it not registered anything, is it like I didnt press the back button
2. unlock my phone - by slide to right > press the corner shortcut - animation is smooth > press the mail icon - open mail and I can imediately scroll down with no lag > press home button - animated smoothly and goes back to home screen
what can make something like this happen? if this is software related action 1 and action 2 should be the same right? this is like some software component after update didn't detect the capacitive button correctly or something.there is option to repair this phone but it mean that I will loose all things in main memory, I will use this option as the last resort, but for now I would like to hear other opinion about this.other annoying stuff after this update:
- the APN setting was deleted so I must enter it again
- before update there is mcafee viruscan and mcafee wavesecure, after update it change into mcafee viruscan and mcafee security, and the mcafee security is not compatible with viruscan!! so I must delete viruscan, not that im using it tho, but still.
- there is some carrier spesific app that can be deleted but after boot restart showed up again
Checking out media players, I downloaded Zimly and Mixzing to compare. Both installed instantly but only Zimly appeared as an icon on the home screen. When I go to Settings>Applications>Manage applications they are both listed as installed, however I need to have Mixing drop its icon for me to be able to use it ... from reviews etc I actually think that's the one I'll be keeping anyway, a clear case of sod's Law that of the two that one would be the one with a problem!I have uninstalled and reinstalled twice, same result.
1. Is there any way through which circular scrolling can be enabled for the SE Android Launcher(circular scrolling = when you scroll past the last screen, it goes back to the beginning). It would also be nice if it worked for the menu, but my main aim is the home screen scrolling.
2. Is there any way to add more than 5 home screens?I have a Sony Ericsson Xperia mini pro, not rooted(not intending to). I like the default home launcher very much, and I wouldn't like to switch.
my x10 mini is stuck in a cycle of switching its self on and off again before it reaches the home screen, been like it for 2 days, was fully charged when it started and drained the battery eventually doing this, put it on charge and it started the cycle again, and i can't connect it to a P.C via usb because it's not on long enough to recognize the device.
I have a sony ericcson xperia mini pro sk17i.It restarts continuously and the home screen is never displayed Is there a way in which i can do a hard reset of my phone's software either by holding the volume keys and power button or something similar to this? Phone does not start so i cant even go anywhere into the settings.
since I updated to 2.1 any long press on home screen or corner icons goes directly to edit either widgets or icons depending wich screen I have up. This is anoying because many times I press just a little too long and for example end up in the edit icons mode instead of opening messages like I wanted to.
Is there anyway to get this as it was on 1.6? Long press didnt open edit, the only way to open edit was trough menu key.
My xperia mini pro touchscreen became unresponsive after turning it back on. In order to make it work again, I would need to remove the battery and put it back again.
Don't know what's happen. Phone isn't rooted. Normally when I flip my home screen and I want to go back to my first home screen I press the homescreen button. But now it doesn't do anything?
I have a weird problem with my E71. Occasionally the contacts search where you start typing a name and the contacts pop up filtered on the home screen just stops working. I can get it working again by disabling and reenabling the feature (by typing something and choosing options>contacts search off; then turning back on).
why it is randomly ceasing to work? It's really annoying to sometimes use it and have it not work and then have to disable and re-enable.
The auto rotate stops working on my RAZR I.I have it checked all the time but the screen just stops auto-rotating. The only way to fix it is to turn it off and back on.It is very annoying and I really want it sorted out.
Today my sony ericsson x10, my messages crashed and it said an application error. So i turned my phone on and off. When i went back onto messages it had deleted them all.So i decided to try use my backup and restore. However it gets to 50% and then stops.Has anyone got any suggestions on what i could try to get all my messages back?
My xperia-play has been updated to Android 2.3.3 by pc companion from 2.3.2, however, the "home screen" is still upright↑ instead of horizontal ↔ if I circumvolve the phone.In Sony Ericsson the new update will give : New themes and Landscape mode for your home screen. I don't get them.
