[Q] Unexpected system app - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi All,
I'm new here.
I posted a full question in xperia X8 Q&A , but wanted to make it more general as it may relate to any android.
I discovered a system app (picker.apk), which should not be there, according to Sony Erricson, and was drawing attention to itself as it had a blank blue icon, but no name, under mannage apps.
It was still there after a reload from sony pc companion, as it is in the "ROM" ?
The phone was standard, had one app installed (go sms pro), and was not rooted.
I have reason to beleive a spy or tracking app may have been installed, and removed again, before I found out.
Does anyone have any ideas on this ?
Warren.

for your first problem, many people have the same issue.Me too
, i do not have any apps in the market that i can buy.This is because the market it is no fully enabled if i can say so in some regions.But there are apps, that can help you enable the market, try searching market enabler and you should find it.

no my markt work good am allready bought more that 10 apps just with battery minder pro i have problem so am shock !!!
up...up...up
this is because of google....they have not authorised the latest x10 026 firmware.
http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Android+Market/thread?tid=125126d6ba9800b5&hl=en
it is very annoying and google's customer service is horrible.
I can't find my paid apps in my market 'downloads' or in the market (e.g - flight track pro, pure calendar widget ) cause of this big problem..what's worse is that since I had to reset my phone recently, I can't even install apps that i paid for!!!
I cant understand how a firmware can be out without google authorising it for protected apps. You would think SE and google would sort this issue out fast...but they are so slow at doing anything.

The main fault lies with google.....they should be sorting this issue out as a matter of priority.....but from their 'support' forums....they just don't seem to care.
The fault also partly lies with SE for not following up with google and pushing to get it fully authorised (for protected apps) before actually releasing the firmware.

frankly failed supported from sony ericsson and bad supported from Google too, in market ,there is no option to get fully controls and very stupid help options.
yes am checked update every time but already am worried about very important point , as we promised from Google, new update 2.1 will contained Arabic language as default built-in, but as i see till now, no one notes that so if it's not contain Arabic language am will jump to Apple directly
already am used Mersal for sms to write arabic but i can't view( facebook in arabic, all sites in arabic,write any thing out of sms in arabic) so feeling my phone frozen.

[Q] You have no calender.

I am not able to add any events on my xperia x10 firmware 2.1. Every time when i was trying to add event, its showing me you have no calender. What does it means and what is the reason for this error? How can i resolve this issue?
Do you have a gmail account? With a calendar already set up by a android phone before? If you do, do these steps to fix this. This worked for me.
Make sure automatic sync is working and check it with calendar and email and contacts.
Go to settings, applications, manage applications, and then press the menu button, to filter, then press all applications.
From that screen delete all data (not uninstall) from these programs:
Calendar
Calendar storage.
Then let the phone sync the calendar programs info by itself.
That should work. Post again if it doesnt or if you have any questions.

[Q] Sony Tablet P Favorites

Hi everyone
Today i got my tablet p. Everything is working fine but after a new update( i think its the 4.0.3r5) i discovered that the Favorites are gone. Is there someone who knows how to get that app back. instead of the Favorites it shows me the Guest mode. Another thing is the PSpocket app. I dont know if it´s possible, but is there any chance of getting the pspocket app, known from the xplay, to the tablet p. I tried to install it but it crashes after i start it the first time and the widget isn´t working correctly. And the last question: I´ve heard about the stardust portable app for the sony tablets. But then i searched in the internet and only found a apk which shows me an error. Is there any possibility of getting this game. I have also Loco roco installed on the xplay. Someone here on xda removed the requirement of checking the registration. Maybe someone could do the same here. This would be really nice.
Thanks everyone for your help:victory:

A few months prior to the release of their Android 4.0.3r5, Sony issued a survey and found a majority of responders said they did not use the Favorites function, so Sony removed the function and replaced it with the Guest Mode function.
Ok thank you!

[Q] Sony Football Challenge still in Smartwatch2 app on XZU

Hello Members
I have a strange problem, and wounder if others have had it, during the time of the Brazil wold cup the Xperia lounge app updated itself, and included to install an app called Sony Football Challenge on my Smartwatch2.
Since then the Xperia lounge app on the phone has been updated, but the Sony Football challenge app is still in the Smartwatch2 applications, only it's displaying a '?' icon, and on the Smartwatch itself there's a blank space where the app used to be.
I have chatted to Sony support, but they were next to usless and you could tell they didn't have clue what the solution was, i ended up asking them to report it as a bug report to the Smartwatch/Xperia Lounge developers.
There is no uninstaller in the setting >Apps for the Sony Football challenge app, and I've done the obvious things of clearing the Data & Cache for both the Smartwatch2 and Xperia lounge app.
Does anyone have a solution please.
Thanks
Livio
I dispair, as usual a forum post for help yields nothing,
It's a very specific query. You could have a try in say the Z1 section?

[Q] What is currenlty the best application for SMS scheduling?

Hello Everyone. I have just cahnged smartphone (from a Samsung Glaxy S5 mini with lollipop i am now using a Samung Galaxy A8 2018 with android 7.x.x). And i am going through all the app i had on the previous one to see if there is something that i have to delete, update etc ...
Now, one specific need that i have is to use an app for scheduling sms. On the previous smartphone i was using "SMS Scheduler" by lylynx.com developer. The app was great, worked smooth, and only required 3 permissions (no internet access needed, and overall for an app that has access to sms data is a good thing that has a limited amount of other permissions required). Now i have just realized THAT app is no longer available in the playstore ... off course i do have the last apk (and i am giving it a try to see if it works ok on the new smartphone) but i was wondering ... what happened to that developer? Is there any other similar app around? Maybe by a developer that is currently active? I would prefer to use applications that are still available in the play store and that couldreceive any update (if needed by whatever reason)? Do you have some app suggestion for me?
Thank you in advance to anyone who will post some suggestion/contribution.
Bye
