[Q] Neo V Software Update missing, - Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro

hi folks..
i recently chekced into my neo v settings to find that the option for Software update (settings>About phone>Software Update) is not there... :O
upon some research i found that it's cuz i deleted some apks, i think the one concerned with s/w updates is dmclient.apk or maybe ssome other..
btw im on night-elf kernel based on a stock based .62 rom.. cant recall the name... i was wondering if i can resstore the option somehow..
thnx in anticipation..

restore UpdateService.apk
go to development section to find thread where you can get that app.

thanx alot man.. i found the files and this is wat happened..
first i copied it into /system/apps
rebooted.
nothing hpnd
the apk file also wasnt there
tried again and this time opened the apk file.
app installed and shows in the app drawer, but not in settings..
copied the apk to /system/apps again
stil the option dint show up..
however i think the problem is at least partially solved..
i was wondering how i will go about updating it to ICS as its about to be out soon..

copy apk to system/app set permissions to rw,r,r and restart phone.

Why don't you use pc companion to update? I freezed update center with titanium backup to remove notifications about 0.62fw update,but pc companion shows it that 0.62 is available.Using pc companion to update is lot better than on air update app

sorry but i dont think you didn`t even search around here, so read please the FORUM RULES !! Newone.

Software update consume much memory and battery, just remove it and using Sony companation.
Sent from my MT15i using XDA

1. im on .62 fw but when i connect it to pc, the pc companion still says, new fw .62 avlbl.. it got me confused.. so i thght of tryin it with phone's update centre..
2. bro i make sure i do my research work before buggin you folks.. ex, whn madfysh told me to change permissions, i really dint know how to do it. but i found it from googlin etc.. tried 3 different file managers, to finally get it done.. and im having fe more isssues, which im tryina to find out , but if i dont find in sometime, i myt ask on xda again..
but yeah i owe u folks many thanks

For most of regions either 0.42 or 0.62 is the latest fw

thats wat im saying,
im on .62,,, but upon connectin the phone to pc companion , it still says new update available, .62..
thats stupid i think
lol

UpdateService.apk can be removed safely as Sony said that ICS wont be rolling as OTA update, PC companion / Bridge only.

How did u updated to 0.62 fw? pc companion or the zip file posted by thedroidboy in dev section ? also what is your base band ?
same happened to me once when I updated to 0.62 fw using that zip and baseband was 56,but that happened only once.Besides I don't think this is a big problem for you right? if pc companion notification annoys you that much close pc companion

updated through the zip file.. the pre rooted one..
base band is 56 i guess.. it ends with -56
and its not a prob at all.. doesnt annoy me.. but anyway as the ICS wont be OTA the issue is solved.. now juss hoping that there no more delays..

[Q] If new firmware update or a bug?? [SOLVED]

Hi guys i m a happy owner of X10 Mini (E10i).
I m not new to xda i have used earlier Himalaya, magician and leo.
Yesterday i was very happy to root my phone, used xrecovery, enabled jit. used app2sd. (i used seus around 10 times whenever i was bricking my phone.)
i really got performance enhancement.
All things i did in my office, i have plenty of free time in office.
When i tried to use Green Theme by Deanosoft i ended in Booting loop problem.
i forgot to take backup b4 that from xrecovery.
i went to home and tried to repair my Mini using seus. i double checked the files in Program data folder (Win 7) those 2 big files.
What i saw seus it started to download from internet.
i immediately canceled that and again did a check, files were there.
i started update again and it started to download i didnt canceled and let it download.
finally when the phone started, i rooted it and when i searched the inbuilt installer to install Root installer apk i was shocked not to see it.
what i did, i completely uninstalled the pc companion from my system. Deleted the empty folders also.
Re installed Seus
i did repair again from seus and again i was shocked not to see that installer.
any way i went ahead with rooting, installed root explorer from internet (not market) titanium backup.
as and when i opened titanium backup it asked for root access i allowed that. but it gave me error that it was not able to access root permission.
( i think i got error in root explorer also but forgot that)
i went to superuser (SOC) in my x10 mini it was saying titainum backup status allowed and logs were also saying allowed.
i restarted my mini and it worked fine.
another strange thing is that, earlier i was getting a message about root granting permission as flashing on lower part of screen but now the message is coming on the notification area of screen. and i have to clear the notification if i need to use clean screen.
i can provide any info or File names (may b new) if anybody want to compare with them.
i dont know how. but by reflashing again my problem is solved. i m so sorry for not looking back as i was busy in weekend.
So Mod please delete or close the thread as needed.

s3 widgets

Hi, anyone knows how I can get widgets from galaxy s3 to my mobile (SE Xperia mini pro - sk17i)?
Yes, you can.
Search for a galaxy s3 rom, and then extract it.
Search for the widgets' apk files, and extract them, too.
Port them to MDPI resolution, then modify them to work on Sony phones and tada... IT'S DONE!
Maybe it sounds easy but it takes a LOT OF TIME...

File TouchWiz50LauncherM2OD. Apk I moved in with exploer root system / app and put in when I wanted to install the application was unsuccessful (the app is not installed). I gave permissions and zaškrtnul. After rebooting, nothing is ever discovered (via inserting widgets or click through the house). I tried to reinstall over exploer root, and wrote it again, but all is not installed. Finally, I have tried to set permissions checked in the first column and the second column only the first or nothing (just like having another application in a folder). I restart again, but again nothing (in widgets choose or click through the home key, with root exploer : application is not installed) any help?
maybe it need system files only found in samsung devices

katana.facebook & Bluetooth problem

Hi Friends,
I recently rooted my x10i with the help of the xda-developers.com. Now my phone does not hang that much, thanks to everyone. The problem I created is, I removed all stock apps in my x10i such as the wisepilot, timescape etc., I also removed facebook app and all files related to facebook (thinking of installing it fresh from the market). But now after installing facebook from market, it doesn't work. It says katana.facebook something force closed. I also tried with other market apps for facebook, Please help regarding this....
And another problem is my bluetooth doesn't turn on, I am switching it on...it says turning on bluetooth, but never turns on....
Do help me...

Download official Facebook app.
Go to settings/applications/all apps/Bluetooth/ press "clear data"
It should be fine, if it didn't helped try blue FTP app from market.
Last solution is flashing stock frimware (as you said "deleted some apps", so factory reset won't work properly)

C:/flashtools/"firmware "

4-run flashtools
5-click on lightning button then select flash mode

Ya, I got it.....
Actually the problem was, in the procedure it said " hold your back button and insert the cable immediately after switching on the mobile" that is where i missed(forgot) it.... Now solved it.....
Now, facebook & bluetooth working fine.....
In the beginning (that is after flashing), mobile is fast and smooth....but after i finished installing all the apps I needed, it once again started to lag....
Is there any solution for this.....

20% of apps automatically start again when you close them, so use a startup manager to stop them .

You must NOT disable all auto-start apps, just stop the ones you installed & not system apps (do not stop Facebook because it can't update when stopped )

Hi, I posted another thread asking for stable ROM for my x10, some said that DONUT HD is a good ROM, can you please help me in changing to this ROM(the basics)...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574185
Just install a cwm recovery.& place Donald HD in sdcard
Then boot to recovery, press backup & restore/backup then wait for recovery to finish with creating backup point
then go to main screen of recovery & press full wipe /factory reset (contacts , SMS , calendar entries ,save of apps & games will delete so create backups)
Then press install zip
Navigate to where you placed the rom & click to install
That's it , enjoy.
PS,do not remove backup in clock work mod folder of your SD, & copy it to your PC, just in case anything goes wrong you can easily switch to stock.

why gps doesnt work? just keep on searching..

I had v10e stock. Worked good.
Then rooted to 10a and updated with a cwm backup 10h.
And gps didnt work.... not that i use it alot but yeah sucks.... something i need it.
So cwm backups arent that great. Is cool but yeah. Costum roms are better. Still waiting for one.
Re: why gps doesnr work? just keep on searching..
Maybe the app you are using is the problem. Remove it, reboot then reinstall.
If this didn't solve it, do a reset. This will solve all your problems but before doubt this, user the stock backup app to backup your settings,sms and calls, home screen widgets, pre installed apps to sd card. but don't backup your downloaded apps.

Re: why gps doesnr work? just keep on searching..
So you are still using ics. Can you please extract the power control widget .apk from your rom? And send it to me? I lost it. Together with the .odex file.
If your can of course.

Thanks a lot friend, but it's not working, i don't know why.
/system/apps/bootup changed permissions and reboot = not working
/system/app = not working
thanks though
it must be some compatibility issue, after all, it's from ics to jb.
so for everyone reading this on JB, do you have this issue?

[Q] Set Wrong permissions to system/app folder

Hi guys. I think I have a serious problem with my Xperia U (on rooted 6.1.1.B.1.54).
Yesterday I accidentally removed downloadprovider.apk and downloadproviderUI.apk ... and I couldn't use googleplay anymore...
So I tried to get these apps in the folder again.. but they weren't "installed"
And I accidentally changed my system/app folder's permissions to something bad. I had to remove the battery but now the phone does not start.
There is a logo loop... What can I do? :crying:
