Is there any way to stop the software update notification which is telling me I need to upgrade to the latest software which is already installed anyway?
The Xperia Update Center says "Computer Required" for update to 4.3. It won't let me update OTA even with the Wifi on and I don't understand why.
Problem 2: My phone is already updated to Android 4.3 Xperia software version 14.2.A.0.290 but on the Sony Bridge for Mac software,it says it needs that I need to upgrade to the same version
14.2.A.0.290. (See screenshot).
I would ignore the instructions to update but I can't get rid of the notification on the phone.
Simple
Even I had the same issue. long press on the notification of update in the notification panel to get into app info and then clear data in the app options.
Now the notifcation disappears. You can even check for an update again and it will show your phone to be updated with latest firmware
And with the computer update, dont update your phone as it has no changes and the size of the download is around 900MB which is pretty useless .

I did what you said, "Clear data" and I also "Emptied Cache", but the notification to upgrade software still returns after I click software update in the Update Center. I would just reinstall it, but why should I have to reinstall the same 4.3 and the same Build 14.2.A.0.290 which is already on the phone?
Also, why does it say "Computer Required"? Since when is computer required to update Android Software or Sony Xperia firmware?

yeah this is some kind of a bug. I updated the 4.3 once again since i was getting some free wifi around. And as of now u better clear data and dont check for updates. Its really annoying to see the update notification with nothing in it for us. Better wait till Jan 23rd where we might get a software update or if not then feb 1st week we will be getting an update (not 4.4.2 :-/) 14.2.A.1.124/136 .
I guess for bigger updates it requires the computer. or when it has something to update just the kernel (totally guessing)
If u have root u can instal titanium backup and uninstal the OTA update notification ...
Just disable it in app info

My Galaxy Gear is giving me the same message as I try to check for updates. Has anyone found out how to update the Gear once it's been rooted/running custom roms etc.? Thanks.

fairly certain that you either wait for an updated ROM or flash a stock. i cant remember the last time any my android devices were upgraded via standard OTA type methods.

Sounds good. My Gear is running the Null18 rom and I know that Null19 is available, so it sounds like I just need to flash that over mines correct? By the way, thanks so much for your quick response...much appreciated!

actually null_20 is out now and very nice. if you just install it over your current setup there is a chance you could have issues. if you really want the best experience you should wipe everything then install. i always factory reset in TWRP then wipe cache and dalvik and then full reset again and then install new ROM but thats just me

2 Questions...when wiping everything did you loose all apps (including launchers like Nova or Apex)? Secondly, just curious if you are familiar with Kingo Root which I am trying to use on my Note 3? I happen to be updating both the phone and watch manually (since they were both rooted) and during my Note 3 updates I lost root. Now Kingo will not recognize the Note 3 at all, although the computer does so the drivers are still working. Any ideas?
Thanks.
P.S. - Nevermind. Also, just so you all know...Null_20 has a bug in Google Now that causes crashes sometimes as you boot up the Gear. The Null_21 rom has it now fixed.
Hi there
I am hoping someone can assist and perhaps have had the same experience I am currently facing on my Z1 phone. Every now and again I am faced with these pop-up ads and I am not sure where it comes from. I have tried Ad searching tools in the market but it doesn't find anything.
Perhaps it gets pushed over the air, but I would like to find out what is doing it...i want it disabled.
Here are some screenshots:

Coming to think of it, perhaps it is BBM for Android?
Have u got Blackmarket installed?
sent from a Rooted & Unlocked Xperia Z1
Install Airpush Detector, run it and it will tell you which one of the free apps on your phone is sending you push notifications. Then delete that app.
Airpush didn't detect anything. It happened again and when I look at the running tasks, it says it is 'Android'. I don't have black market installed either.
I had the same popup in the beginning only it was from whattsapp.
Tryin to remember when i got them....
Have u tried rooting with VRoot?

It will if you are on 534.
Anyway, there's an app installed on your phone that names itself as android and it's a fake app.
Try searching in the apps list for anything you suspect that might be it.

No root needed. When u get another of those popups, just pull down the notification bar and keep pressing on that BBM ad message. You should then click on "app info" and from there uninstall it.Proven to work for many!

Hello everyone!
I shortly read about the FW 10.5.A.0.233 for our device and that it will fix the issue with the draining akku caused bei google services.
Hier is the article I found:
http://hybrideon.com/xperia-z-zl-zr-tablet-z-will-get-bug-fix-update-soon/
Is it known, when it will be rolled out?
I heared about rumors, that it is rolled out in australia right know, but only as a rumor till now.
I live in germany and have a taiwan version of the XZR. I need google services and cannot deaktivate them, this is why I wait for a fix, cause my google services run at 70 percent all the time. Thats not good ...
Do someone now more about the rolling out of the fix?
Greetings Lemmi.

I can tell you the fix without the update for google services draining battery issue.
Go to settings, uninstall update of google play services, clear data and restart phone. It will automcatically update the google play services and then the issue won't stay. If the uninstall of update option is disabled, then you need to uncheck the Android device manager in security and then continue this process, but later you can check it under device administrator section in security.
As far as update of .233 is concerned, almost everyone knows about this update that it is yet to be released, but there is no official update regarding the date.
Till the update you can do the fix.
The article's date is 6th of June. If more than 2 weeks is their idea of 'soon' then I guess Sony should stop manufacturing phones and turn to politics or something.
This is so screwed up, and even that temporary fix people talk about in this forum isn't working and it keeps on draining my battery.
For my XZR was help Per App Hacking from Xposed. In this app I search Google Play Services, and there I tick "Prevent Wake Lock". After this Google Play Services still falling down, so after 2 days I untick "Prevent Wake Lock" and now is Google Services seems, to work normally. Also I have enabled Stamina.

Hey, while checking out the Xperia Z forum I found out that the FW 10.5.A.0.233 has started rolling out for some countries. I checked it using xperia updatechecker, I found out the Austria, Hong Kong have recieved the new build and may be bug fixes in it....:cyclops:
May be we too would get it....
If I check for updates, it says there are none. Has the update been officially released yet or is everyone "manually" installing it?
the update has been released official by sony, but it's rolling out slowly. For now the update showed up in nordic regions, but it should soon start rolling out in other regions. If you're impatient you can always flash the update manually. Search the forums to find out how to do it
Press Thanks if i helped you

Same here. I have bought the phone without any carrier attached and no update yet even though at least some other folks in my country seem to have it already.
Should we wait or we should do the manual update? With the manual update, do we have to unlock the bootloader? I would actually like to avoid unlocking or rooting.
Thanks for the replies. Guess I'll just wait some more.

no you dont have to unlock your bootloader. You install flashtool,device drivers and ftf file you wish to flash. There are great guides in forums, search for them how to do it
By the way, once the update is available through the phone's update feature, will it be possible to do a fresh install or is updating the only way?

You can do a factory reset after the update. That's equivalent to a clean install.

Thanks. How would go about doing a factory reset after the update? Sorry, I'm an Android noob as this is my first Android phone. Secondly, after the update to Android 5.0 will the recovery "partition" of the phone also get updated to Android 5.0 or will it stay at 4.4.4?
I guess they are doing a roll in insteaf of rollout. Im short to ditching sony

Rollouts take time with Android phone OEMs, the update must be tested and approved seperately for each region and mobile operator. Some regions and mobile operators can be very slow at this, unfortunately. Just be patient and don't obsess too much over it.
With non oem phones (international version not tied to carrier) is it still expected that I may not have an update yet or should I start worrying something is wrong and should start look at the manual update?

Non-carrier =/= non-OEM. Sony is an OEM
Is there where you do a factory reset? If I use this feature, the phone will be formatted and return to its original "shipped" state?

you wont be able to install it without root. it does not install like a regular app. you need to place it into either /system/app/ or /system/priv-app/ then reboot for it to install itself. stock you cant do that, with root you can.

I am curious why you want to update.
On my N6 Google app 4.1.29 etc is still working. Downgrade was necessary, else the Black Google Now launcher will become white instead of black.
Secondly I need to block Google app from updating.
Maybe you need to check your settings concerning auto updates.
Play store - My apps - Google app - above right 3 dots - auto update - check box.

updating it to 5.2 changes googles layouts for google now(more colorful and better tiles for info), and it changes your app drawerer to a side scrolling version, instead of the m up and down version. i changed mine yesterday to see what the big deal is. to be honest, google now looks much better.

I'll be honest to. I am using dpi 384. And the Black Google Now launcher. I love it and the drawer has also side scrolling.
I wish I had the power to kick Google's ass to make sure we get a marshmallow with a Light/Dark Material switch.
The problem did not dissapeared. I'd installed google app 5.2 manually and it works but in playstore it is still 5.1. Factory reset do not work
Playstore updated to new 5.9.11 and the problem solved. Thanks all. Please close the topic
