Xperia Mini/pro :: Where's The 'install From Unknown Sources' Checkbox
Jun 29, 2012
I've updated my Xperia mini pro to ICS 4.0.4 Build 4.1.B.431 a few weeks ago. I just noticed that I can't find the checkbox to allow me install programs from unknown sources/not directly from market. When it was still Gingerbread, I can access the checkbox from Setting > Application. how can I access this checkbox in ICS?
After the upgrade that had been issued for the Z5 I am not able to install apk's from unknown sources. When I try installing it, it shows the install button but it's not active and can't be pressed on! Tried to press on it several times but it doesn't react. The cancel button is active though.
My Xperia Z3 Dual lollipop 5.0.2, doesn't allow me to turn on unknown sources in another user (not guest! A user that I defined). Unknown sources in settings is off (grey color not black).
Just got my Gold nexus 6p yesterday and i cant install apks that are not from the play store and even if i try to send them via bluetooth it doesn't work. I'm bootloader unlocked, twrp installed, rooted (systemless root) and decrypted and also "unknown sources" is turned on in settings. I cant install some app cos of this.
Where can I get the Xperia X10i kernel sources for Android 2.1? And as it uses the GPL license so it must be available on request. I compiled the CIFS module on 1.6 but I really need it to recompile it with new sources. Also, kernel config file would be welcome too.
My SI No. is listed in the site and I got the update notification also. But when I try to update using PC Companion, am getting the below error message.
i just got an x10 mini, and i would like to know how to install apps. i copied some apps to my sd card but i don't know how to access the card to install the apps?
Am having Xperia pro running with ICS. I want to revert to GB, so I downloaded the Gingerbread phone software from Developer world of talk.sonymobile.com! now i dunno how to install it in my phone XPERIA PRO! there is no install notes too in the zip folder i downloaded!

I have browsed this site and i think i have to update from 1.6 to 2.1 but if i done this how do go about finding the file on the phone.On my nokia i have a file explorer which i can use to find the file.
i just directly downloaded skype from android market in my xperia x10 mini.as soon as the downloading finished i dont know where the downloaded file went.. skype is also not shown in the screens?
Purchased the Xperia Mini Pro today, eager to get to grips but as soon as i'd done the basic settings i'm told there is a new software update. After recently upgrading from the X10 Mini Pro, i am well aware on how to update the software using PC Companion.However, this update is proving difficult. Once i follow the steps provided and get to the 'Phone Software Update' window, with the four steps (Start, Prepare, Update, Finish) I'm stranded at step 2. The whole 'unplug the USB from the phone and computer' steps are proving useless, nothing is happening. I've tried seven times with intervals, and many reboots of my phone, none of which have proved successful. Anyone able to tell me what i may be doing wrong or is there a current problem installing the software for everyone?
I have just formatted my laptop and installed win-7 64 bit , Now I want to install PC Companion on it what I should do for it. I have ICS in my mobile.

I should say my Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini Pro SK17i is awesom(except for the battery life)..Now i want something regarding my internal memory..Whenever i installed apps, it is installed into the Internal Memory by default..Although i can move some of the apps into SD Card, most of the apps are **** Stubborn.I even tried apps2SD, which doesn't quite answer my need...What i want is how to store in SD Card by default for all Apps...Is there any hack(maybe without rooting) for this.
I downloaded the X10 Mini drivers to be able to debug using the Netbeans Android SDK addon. Now, how do I install them? I have the sa0101usb.inf file (and all the rest in the SEMC_Signed folder). I right-click and click Install, but I get the following error: "The INF file you selected does not support this method of installation". I have also tried "upgrading the driver" of "PHONE CARD" under "Portable Devices" in the Device Manager, but the driver does not seem compatible with the device (according to Windows).
