Can't update Sony apps, from Sony? - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

1. I received notifications on the notification bar saying there's an update for Video and What's New app.
2. I tap on the notification, instead of taking me to the update centre, it takes me to the What's New app.
3. I cleared data for Software Update, still the same issue.
4. On the "Software Update" app, it says phone is up to date, but the notification keeps on popping up.
5. This issue is a problem since the Lollipop update?
Anyone got any solutions?

Unfortunately, my What's New app doesn't refresh, it doesn't load up. It's stuck with the old "news" the stock one.
EDIT: Never mind. @MikeChannon please close this thread.

No update notification for app installed

I factory wipe my n1 and reinstall using app monster. Afterwards, I stop getting update notifications. I found out when I was using the xda app and I uninstalled and reinstalled from market and it was a newer app. I also check a couple more apps and notice there were newer apps on the market and received no update notifications. Anyone know why this happened?

don't think so, tried clearing cache, reinstalling the app..ultimately had to uninstall Youtube updates and use the stock version, it's working that way
Still having the same problem even with the app updates..is anyone experiencing this issue? It all started when upgrading to 4.3..
Try to go to settings → Apps → YouTube then force stop it, clear data, then check if you have any YouTube extension disabled, if u have, then enable it. if you don't have, then click on the 3 dots in the upper right corner and select "Reset app preferences" then restart your phone.
I can't promise that it gets fixed this way, but it might solve it.

Have you used Adblocks I found that ABP for non rooted phones causes the problem for me. I disabled it and reconnect my wifi by first forgetting it and re-entering the password.

S-Health keeps popping up

After every call ended, S-Health pops up, after unplugging headphones S-Health pops up, and sometimes varies with other apps when exiting them or doing whatever... wtf. Thought it was me but two buddies with new S5 as well said the same thing. Any way to disable this, I don't even use it and not signed into it. Useless to me, I keep my workout sched for different days in Evernote anway. Praying to the root gods something is figured out to get rid of this bloatware.
Go to settings/application manager and find s health in the All tab. Uninstall updates first, and then hit "turn off".

Thanks. Went through and pretty much did the same for every AT&T and Sammy app showing.
It doesn't remove the apps, but at least it prevents them from running services in the background.

Same issue
I've had this same problem on my S7. I 'Disable' the app and it asks me if I would like to restore it to the factory version to which I say 'yes'. Then at the next update it reinstalls the latest updates and it all happens again. I'm not very tech-savvy so am hoping someone can help. I've now removed all permissions and blocked notifications on the app settings so fingers crossed it stops happening.

Shealth pedometer.

When i had just received my phone i tried the the pedometer for a day and then stopped it. A week later it keeps beeping and alerting me that I haven't used it in week. I tried to find a way to disable the notifications in the settings but that section was grayed out.
Is there any way to stop the notifications without disabling shealth?

Try going to phone settings > Application Management and locate S-Health and Clear Data/Clear Cache.

I got rid of it by unchecking "show notifications "under application manager -> s health.

[Q] Phone vibrates random

Hi guys,
I am having some problem.
Since a few weeks my phone vibrates random and I do not how to disable it. I turned vibration off in settings and in other apps. And the phone vibrates when I don't recieve any notifications. When I put it on the table for charging it stoppes after a while.
It is very annoying for me. If there is a method for completely stopping the vibration motor let me know.
Thanks.

Such vibration must cause an application. Remind yourself what you installed a few weeks ago.
Thanks. I tried to see some app settings and turned it off. The problem is that I don't see any notifications at all. I even installed the Xposed App, 'Less Frequent Notifier', but it doesn't work. And it is very hard to find the toxic app, because I have about 400~500 installed apps.
Is there some system log file where I can see which apps send the command to vibrate?

Install "Wakelock Detector" on your device. Once you sense a vibration, open the app and look for an app that uses the phone vibrator. You might want to try to get accurate information, as the app doesn't offer sorting based on time of trigger.
To get an accurate information, you can have the phone randomly vibrates for a day, and then open the WLD app and find the app responsible for vibrating.
An example is attached.
OR
You can use the App Ops. once you feel a vibration, quickly go to your App Ops, get to the "Device" tab (or section...) and choose the corresponding app that you suspect vibrating your phone. The apps listed there are sorted from recent permission trigger (or usage). So all you need to check is the top part of the list.
