Xperia Mini/pro :: Encountered On ICS Update On Mini Pro
Jun 29, 2012
I 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
I'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.
I 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.
Just 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.
a few days ago I bought my SE X10 mini pro.I now have a problem with my battery. A few hours ago, my battery level was around 35% A few hours later, it remained at 35% indication.Since this couldn't be correct, i restarted the phone. Now, my battery indication was 100%. False again.I turned the phone off. It wouldn't restart.I tried the 'flash device method' by holding back button and putting in computer USB. No help.I tried SEUS. After that, phone switched back on, with false battery indication back to 100%, which is impossible.I noticed that during all this 'fun stuff', my battery refuses to charge. The LED indicator remains green without flashing, the settings screen doesnt say 'charging'. I know that the phone won't charge below 95% battery.So, the phone thinks the battery is 100%, therefore won't charge, and I'm pretty screwed, especially since I fear that once my battery drops dead, the phone won't be able to charge ever since it will think its 100% full...
I have looked online everywhere for a replacement battery and am unable to find one! Can you please direct me in the correct direction, and the battery required is as on the url supplied [URL] 3.7V 950 mAh Li-Polymer battery Measuring 40 x 35 x 5.5 mm and weighing in at a scant 18 grams?way of China or EU as it has already been four weeks that my battery crashed and would only work if plugged in continuously and now just does not work full stop!
I 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
i watched the video on Internet on how to upgrade x10 mini 1.6 to 2.1. it says that i should download the new pc companion on my pc but when i downloaded it never works. nothing appears on the window except the minimize and the close button...
i have tried and tried to update my phone through pc companion but all it keeps saying is my phone is up to date, i have been notified an update is available to 2.1, so then i tried update service but no luck there either, it just comes up an unexpected error and shuts down everytime?
I have Sony Xperia mini St15i, I read the website sonymobile.com the latest version for my phone is available, but when you install PC Companion 2.1 also connect the phone to the computer reports that:
you have the latest version for your phone.But my phone I have version 2.3.4.How can I update my phone to 4.0.4 ICS.
Many of the reviews say that after the update to ICS, the led is not working. Is this the same for all the users? Will Sony Fix this problem with the future update?
My PC Companion is showing ICS update for my Xperia Mini but I'm unable to do so. My computer hangs as soon as I connect the phone by pressing the volume down key in second step.
I want it to know if there is any way I could update my xperia mini pro to ICS that is not the common way (i can do it using pc companion), because I bought my phone to Claro (like at&t) and they wont release the new android version.
I have seen alot of discussions on the mini pro but havnt seen any about model number u20i my si is 1238-0204 am i getting the update or should i just buy a new phone like a htc instead of waiting?
I know nothing about updating. I searched over internet and i found some videos just showing their x10s with the 2.3 or even 2.3.6 ( urls.. ) I tried to download the companion and my pc said i already have a newer companion on my pc (btw i have companion 2.1) and i dont know what to do!! And when i open my companion and click on update it says that i already have the newest version but i have 2.1 and not 2.3 !!
Still no update for si number 1249-0738 and the rollout for the mini has already started?!! What the??! are there others who own xmp who still do not have ics?
I am having trouble updating my phone to an update provided by Sony. The update will starts and then when it restarts, it says Update install fail.I recently rooted my phone(using Doomlord Root toolkit) and then unroot again, so that i can install updates. But i am having this wierd problem.
