Hi everyone !
I've some problems on my Xperia SP. I bought this phone 1 month ago, it's unrooted, the build number is 12.0.A.1.257. So:
1. The homescreen restarts frequently and randomly, the Viber, and most of my apps too. I've got about 300-350MB of free RAM every time I check it.
2. If I'm listening music via Walkman app, it stops randomly, and if I restart the app, it starts from where I started before. I think it's similar to the first one, and the RAM management causes this issue too.
3. WiFi problems ...
Please help me, if you have any idea ! I'd like to fix these issues, because it was a quite expensive phone for me ... Thank you !
Well, the latest FIRMWARE is the 12.0.A.2.245... I recommend ya connect ur phone to PC Companion to install the update or maybe flash it with Flashtool :highfive:
EDIT: 1. I dont have HomeScreen Restarts
2. Walkman go perfect here
3. Wifi is stable too

Thanks for the reply, but my phone is unfortunately not factory unlocked, so my SP says this is the lastest firmware available. :/ I gonna try the update via PC, I hope it will work.

Flash the newest firmware (245) via Flashtool. Its very easy to use and u don`t need to unlock ur bootloader or something else.
Btw. I did to, cause the update to 245 fw wasnt available and I didnt want to wait.

Hi All,
I have a little problem when I'm trying to update to the last version of the Xperia Z. When I try directly on the phone everything going fine , he download the update, reboot and next I see a progression bar but arrived to the half , he stop and reboot the phone and I see the error that the update failed.
Next I've try to do the update with the PC Coompanion but impossible to arrive to the recovery mode of PC Companion
Any Idea?

How did you update, OTA or pushed via FlashTool?

flashtool
The only thing you can do in situations like this, as told in every such thread, is reflash with the flashtool.
Will FlashTool pick it up when connecting via Vol -Up? If so, try pushing the FTF again,even a different FTF?
i will try when i get home to see if it will pickup the flashtool.
it kinda sucks tho. why it did this ? i didnt even install anything in the stupid thing aside from few games. jesus.
What FTF did you use ? I would suggest using another just in case, you may / may not need to wipe data
the one from the main thread :/. " not the one with the typo "
i think its from singapore one ? because it had some stuff from that country.
i will go home in 1 hour or so and try to flash without wipe.
finger crossed :/
its not accepting the flashtool.
i turn the device off. i click on the back botton. but nothing.
the log says the file is connected in fast boot mode. but there is nothing . i still get the pop screen that shows the instructions how to plug your device.
any help

ok. by miracle i got it to work. but i am not sure what happened and why it did this.
all good i guess :/
also, i wonder if there is an official version of this. not bloated with weird stuff. like euro version or something.
also. one more question.
is there a root for this ?
Reinstall the software with sony update service is what you have to do
http://www.sonymobile.com/gb/tools/update-service/
glad to read that is fixed ..
I had this same issue yesterday. I installed the the update from the India c6602. Things were working fine the first day. I did a reset and then had the same issue as the OP had.
A re-flash with the flashtool didn't work the first time and the I tried the Sony companion fix option, and still had problems. Then I realized I had to install the drivers. Are you on windows 8? did you install the drivers that came with the flashtool? I did and then re-flashed, and now its fine again.

Most people seem to have flashed the Global FTF, you could reflash the old firmware, then when you plug into PC Companion it should flick up the update for you/your region.
I would just flash Global
Yesterday I updated my Xperia T to Android 4.3 via Sony Companion Software. My phone is not rooted. Everything apperently went fine, but after the Update process I wanted to turn on my Wifi, but it did not work. I tried that from the quicksettings and form the settings directly. The button remain grey for a certain time and the turns back to off.
I turned off my phnone and on again, but a white triangle with a screw came and the phone remained in that status for more than 6 hours. After that it turned on, but the Wifi problem remains. Regarding Bluetooth, that works fine.
What I noticed is that when I check the phone info and the Wifii settings, no MAC Adress is listed there for Wifi. I don't think its a hardware problem, because everything was fine before updating.
What should I do? I am afraid to turn my phone off bcause it could go back to the white triangle remaining for several hours in that state. I dont think a factory reset would help, because there seems to be an update problem and I would like to rather not loose all my settings.
Any help would be very appreciated, because I urgently need wifi in my university.......

The ftf file is the stock Rom, you can find it here on xda. Flashtool also. Flashtool only works if you have windows xp, vista 7 or 8. Not on 8.1. Repairing it using pcc should be easier though

Tnx again. Regarding stoch Rom, I think I am a newbie in that field. I will try to repair via PCC. I have sony bridge for Mac or a Windows PC with Windows 8.1. Which one would you prefer? I updated to Android 4.3 on a Windows 8.1 PC. Do you think that might be a reason, why there is an issue with the update process or something went wrong?
Windows 8.1 works with one of the updates the launched not so long ago

Unfortunately, reparing it with PCC did not help and I am quite desperate. I bought the phone last year as a used one. I am quite a newbie in this field, but could it be, that the rom installed is an altered one and a normal update via PPC leads to this Wifi problem? Normally that should not be the case, but how can I find that out what is causing the problem and what must I do to overcome this drama of mine. I whish I didn't perform that update, because everything wAs working fine before.....

Bluetooth conflict with wifi
I just upgraded to the latest build 9.2.A.1.205 and bluetooth and WiFi seem to conflict with one another. To have Wifi working i have to stop Bluetooth.

A factory reset would definitely work. You don't know how many times I've seen people (even with different phones) have problems like these because they change their Android version and/or flash different ROMs without wiping their partitions, i.e., doing at least a Factory Reset. If you were rooted you could try deleting the "wpa_supplicant.conf" file in /data/misc/wifi. The problem is, since you're already on 4.3, there is no sure way to root 4.3 unless your bootloader is unlocked. So unless you find out a way to backup your data/settings, you're either going to lose it all when doing a Factory Reset, or downgrading to 4.1.2 (to root), or even flashing a stock 4.3 FTF, because I'm sure your problem is that you haven't wiped.
Hello guys.
Almost 2 weeks ago I had a really strange issue with my SP. I force stopped a Sony Select app, and then my device got in bootloop - over and over again, never stopping. I got home and repaired it successfully with PC Companion.
Now, it happened again... But it wasn't Sony Select Force Stopping now. I changed my theme - to a downloaded one; the wallpaper wasn't showing. Redownload the same theme - the same issue. Then I also got no wallpaper on the other themes... I thought of restarting the device. Then, SURPRISE! Bootloop.
Now I am repairing my phone again using PC Companion.
If anybody knows what causes this issue, please let me know, I never ever rooted this device, only upgraded via PC Companion, not other sources.
Thank you.

Just Install Sony PC Companion (Download from Sony). Put USB Cable between your Xperia Z and PC and then start PC Companion Program. The Program search automatically for newest Firmware for your phone and then just Update. that's all.

you might wait for official update in your region
or
flash an ftf
For Germany still Android 4.3 or Version 10.4.1.B.0.101. My Xperia also from Germany.
So it means that the only way you can update to kitkat is by flashing a ftf using a flashtool or you still need to wait till your region release an update.
