If that is the issue we need to get a minor software update to fix this bug, cause we cant stay like that until 2.1 comes out!

I totally agree, but I don't think they are gonna fix it right away. Most likely gonna wait until September comes around and implemented into the 2.1 upgrade.

Well they have to! they just launched this phone on AT&T. If people finds out that timescape is not working they will return their phones. That is the phone best selling point

I'm just as frustrated as you...I had this phone since April for 4 months now, it has been great...I've also upgraded the firmware as well. This is actually the first problem that I encountered...
I really hope that this is all Facebook's problem...or else SE really need to do something about it, FAST!
I just realize that everyone is facing the same problem, i though i am the only one facing this problem.....hope to fix it soon.
Sony has already acknowledged the issue, sent a message on twitter saying their working with facebook to solve it...

Hi,
Sony Ericson announced availability of Android 2.1 in last week of October. And same has been started, X10 mini shows updates available, but is unable to download via GPRS/EDGE/3G (roaming) for me. Could others confirm availability of same via Mobile or PC companion.
Viny
I think ur update is 1.2.A......
Companion tells me that my computer is up to date.
I am with build number 1.1.A.0.8,still no updates further.

a) SE never announced officially avaliability of 2.1 in the last week of October
b) last week of October starts in 5 days (Monday 25th).
c) Hold your horses. You´ll get nothing in October.
Anyone in here from UK, using Orange 3G Pay as you go SIM with Mini?
I dont see any updates here in India
There is no new update to eclair...
Don't forget that whilst SE "might" release an update soon, you will only get this if you have an unlocked, non carrier phone.
If your phone was supplied by a carrier and is branded then just as we have seen on other phones, you could be waiting months longer.
Just look at the Desire where 2.2 was rolled out by HTC months ago yet Three users in the UK are still waiting.
October on it's end.Still no sign from SE
be patient... on Twitter, SE UK says that there aren't further delays, the update will be at the end of October... that's this week! I think will be by friday... hopefully!
What major improvements do you expect from 2.1? The only thing why I am expecting it is because spp profile ability in bluetooth. And what do you expect from eclair?
I don't hope nothing special from SE, perhaps the facebook association to the contacts, improving a little bit the contact list and no more else. I think the most important comes from Android 2.1, like bluetooth as you said. Also some apps only are available from Android 2.x and towards. Some people says that it activates the multitouch function... and more stuff that i'm totally sure we'll discover
New firmware approved at ptcrb.com
Sw 2.0.A.0.453
Its coming!!
Sent from my rooted X10 mini pro, still with Android 1.6!!! using XDA App
I just noticed on PTCRB that the mini pro and X8 models have both received firmware certification for 2.1.
It now seems every model except the x10 mini is ready to be updated. That sucks.
hahaha , mini and mini pro have same firmware ... bullshits
Having an update for PC companion .Everyone at the end
Hello guys, I know it could sound really weird for you all, but here's my point: I just bought an Xperia Mini on eBay from a user claiming he had received it directly from Sony Ericsson as a free sample. I received it yesterday, it was unpacked and was sold together with the battery charger only. Nothing too strange.
By the way, after about half an hour I realized the phone had a front camera.
Ok, I watched the video and i know I'm a noob on XDA. But I'm no stupid
So don't tell me it's the light/proximity sensor! I wouldn't be here! It's a working front camera, since I can switch between this one and the "normal" one and take pictures. Here is a picture of the phone:
EDIT
Looks like I can't post links, so I'll just skip this step
Anyway, the other strange thing is that the phone comes with Android 2.3.3, build 4.0.A.2.368, and I can't update it. Not directly from the phone, nor using PC Companion. It just keeps saying the software is up to date.
So... have you ever heard of something like this? What should I do?
What is the phone model in the settings?
Model ST15i
I wrote to the seller, and he just answered me: he says that, working for a company that create applications for iOS and Android, they usually get five samples for each model. This is one of those. It could be, as I thought, a sort of "prototype". The thing is: I am grateful for the front camera, but I'd like to be able to get software updates, and this seems impossible. And also, I suppose that updating through "unofficial" ways would take to the impossibility of using the front camera.
i'm thinking of sending it back and buying a new one
I'm really envious right now...
really curious now.. Try adding photo's with the attachments feature !
where are you from?
can you share the link where you buy?
sorry for my bad english
Here's the picture of the phone... I wouldn't be envious at all, anyway. I have a couple of days to understand if I can update the phone, if updating causes the impossibility of using the front camera, and if - even worse - it can cause hardware incompatibilities, crashes, explosions or else. Then I have to decide if I want to send it back or not.
D'oh.
That's pretty cool... But it absolutely sucks that you can't update the firmware..
Maybe you can contact Sony and ask if there is any way to update..

I doubt it... it looks like this is a "test" version that was long ago abandoned by developers... anyway, I'd rather buy a new phone. It's easier xD

Do you want to buy it for 135 €? That's what I spent to get it...
If I was you, I wouldn't contact Sony about it
If it was a test product, don't think they will be happy that an Xperia Mini is roaming around in the wild with a front camera. In my opinion if you really want to update, flash a ROM that is made for the Xperia Mini Pro, then you might be able to use the front camera. There is barely any difference between the XMP and XM then the HW keyboard and the Front camera.
an update is not necessary. you can flash a custom roms

Well... how do I create a backup copy of my firmware? Because I'm not sure it's the same as the "normal" 4.0.A.2.368. By the way, if I flash a new ROM on my device, what happens if I try to restore to the original manifacturer firmware? Does the phone keep it in memory, or does it restore to the new, "clean" firmware?
Sorry for my bad English, I don't know how to explain it better -__-

Install CWM recovery and do a backup maybe it will work if anything goes wrong
This phone is original?
What you could do is flash any Rom you want, that is from a Stock Rom. BUT! Always back up your system so that you can go back to it if something goes wrong.
If you need any help on how to's and stuff like that just tell me and ill help you out.
I'm curious by this system
You can root, install recovery CWM and send me one backup?
at least you can use face unlock after the official ics update
Hi all,
My wife just moved from an iPhone to the ATT version of the Alpha a week or so ago. So far it has been all about setting it up to work like her iPhone. Don't ask me why she didn't just get a new iPhone if that's is how she wanted it to work. Anyway, I moved her photos and texts from her last iTunes backup using Smart Switch. Now she wants to file and consolidate her pictures that came in. I looked in the standard DCIM folder but none of the pictures that are in her gallery seem to be showing up there. Is there another place that Smart Switch uses for imported data? Any help would be great.
Thanks,
Dave

Today is her last day to turn it in and only pay restocking. So far she is willing to unlearn IOS, but you are right we went through this when the SGS2 came out and she did end up going back to iPhone. I didn't get a chance to look at her phone last night, but she is thinking that maybe they are in Picasa? I never used Picasa, but I'll try to look at it tonight and see what's up. And I'll let you know if she switches back. LOL
Hey everyone, i recently purchased my dad a new Z5C for his bday from a seller on Ebay. I am a bit paranoid about it though because it is on 5.1.1 and i cannot update it. I have tried doing it from phone settings, and the Xperia companion, but both say it is up to date, and i included a pic of what i got from the Sony website when i checked the IMEI (http://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/software/). So am i missing out on some info, is the update not fully out yet, or is this reason to support my paranoia.
On a side note, i have tried installing 3 tempered glass screen protectors and have gotten a large halo all around (air on the sides that wont come out) each time, is this common, do the glass screen protectors suck for this phone or is something fishy with this phone?
Any help is greatly appreciated, thanks!
Here is a pic of the halo effect I was talking about plus those little bubbles a fifth of the way down. All 3 new protectors have had the same issue.
Must have bought from the same seller, because the same thing happened to me. I got mine today and it showed a message saying it was a prototype device, which is my guess for why it says it can't be updated and Sony claiming it to be up to date.
I am concerned about possible spyware and build quality issues, which is why I would like to upgrade it with a stock ROM ASAP. Sony probably won't help us, but maybe eBay can exert some pressure on the seller to take it back.

I just talked to Xperia support about half an hour ago and they suggested doing a software repair via the Xperia Companion program. Except when I tried to do so, I got the error "UEGetPhoneInfoFailure" when I had to hold volume down and plug it I to the PC. I got the phone from here http://www.ebay.com/itm/142324022634

Yup, same seller. Did Xperia support mention if the phone is identical otherwise? One of the main reasons I got this phone, other than the size and specs, was the water resistance, which the Xperia X Compact lacks. I wouldn't mind keeping the phone if all that's different is the firmware, assuming we can get it flashed somehow. I'll give the software companion a try tomorrow as well and let you know what happens.

The most surprising thing is that the phone was supposed to be sold either in the Netherlands or Norway (I don't remember which exactly) but other than that it is a normal phone. Warranty expired a few years back as well. But it is a genuine Xperia. I do really like the phone as well perfect size and good amount of power. And do let me know of the results. Hopefully we can get this sorted out

Congrats! How did you go about upgrading it? I've been looking for a way to backup the TA/DRM keys before I took the plunge. I think the issue is that the keys are not in the standard format, but I can't verify. Were you able to get the keys somehow?

You don't have to worry about that because you don't have to open the bootloader. I just checked to be sure and I still got all my keys. Follow this guide here https://www.google.com/amp/s/b.marf...flashtool-and-xperifirm-guide/?marfeeltn=amp.
Make sure you install the drivers correctly for the programs, if using Windows 8,8.1, or 10 it gives you special instructions. The flash tool you can get from here http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php.
As long as the software you get matches your model number it can be any country. There was no US for the E5823 I went with customized Australian. If you need anymore info just reply or send me a message
