Hi my problem is that after upgrading my Z2 to firmware 17.1.2.A.0.314 the update center has stopped working. I am unable to receive any new updates to sony programs like Walkman,Album,Movies etc. Is there any solution to this problem? My phone is not rooted. Thanks.
Temporary solution is to update apps manually. Go here and download APKs and update.

Hi all,
I'm hoping someone has a suggestion.
I used the All-In-One tool to root my tablet S months ago, and received constant notificationst hat an OTA update was available. So I used the All-in-one tool to disable the notifications.
This morning I changed my region from Australia to US using the All-in one-tool and re-enabled notifications to see if it would receive the ICS update, but when I went to Settings-About-System Update, it goes straight to "Failed to download the update. Check your network connection and try again". I am connected to a Wi-Fi connection and the itnernet is working.
I then restored my original region settings using the all-in-one tool, but I still get the same message. Previously it said that an update was not available.
Any ideas?
I didn't root my tablet so I can't help you solve the OTA issue, but may I suggest following condi's guide here?

PS: theres also the full OTA downloadable in that thread.
Thanks for the reply. I looked at the guide, but a lot of people seem to be bricked after trying to follow it. So I decided to wait a bit.
The issue seems to have resolved itself now. Perhaps the server was down?
Hi!
Today ICS for TPH (unbranded) was released according to @SamKiesUpdates and sort after I began receiving a update message from Software Update service asking to update (When I bought the phone I in my naiveness turn the options on on Settings->About->Software Update).
Software update never asked me for nothing and every time I did a check for update it said none until today.
My question is: Is there a way to stop it from asking? I can postpone the update up until 7 days but the icon saying that it was postponed stays nagging
Also does anyone know the download folder for the service in case it has download the ROM update?

Pretty simple...Go to settings-->about phone-->Software Update-->Uncheck Auto update and Push message option...Probably reboot if required.
And that should do it.
Don't forget to hit the thanks button if it helped.
Thanks for the tip, it helped but wasn't enough...
I had to go also to Settings->Applications->Manage Application->All->Software Update and do a Clear Data
Then I rebooted just to be sure... and it stopped
Please set it again and dont clear data.
Hi all,
EDIT: IT SEEMED TO HAVE FIXED ITSELF - MODS Please delete thread!
I have had my Sony Xperia Z Ultra for a while now and experienced many of the bugs read on this forum.
When I saw the .532 update for the HK version I immediately went on to flash it officially via the Update Service (mine is the HK version).
It updated fine without but I couldn't turn the screen off fully and the backlight stayed on continously draining the battery very rapidly.
So I decided to restore the device fully via the Official update service and this when the problem occured.
It started updating without problems but after a few seconds it just stopped and told me there was an error.
I tried it a few times to no avail and get similar result with the flashtool.
If anyone has any suggestions fire away.
Also, BL not unlocked, not root and neither custom recovery.
Many thanks

I turned my computer off and back on again and that made it work. Really randon
hi i got a z2 this week and everything works fine just this one annoying issue. The home and recent apps on screen keys are laggy. Sometimes they work good, most times they lag. The back key is fine.
The phone shipped with 4.4.2 .314 and had the issue right out the box. I updated to 4.4.4 the same night and no change. I downgraded back to 4.4.2 and same issue. Did factory resets etc.
Is there any official word on what is causing this? I live in the Caribbean so sending this to a repair centre is out of the question. Just hoping it's a software issue that can be fixed.
Any help?
Repair via sony PC companion
I found the 4.4.4 update can bug a tiny bit and will slow down heavily, repairing should fix this
if i repair via pcc will i stay with 4.4.2?
i dont want it to update to 4.4.4
Downgrade via flashtool buddy then this problem will be solved
i already downgraded using flashtool.
i was on 4.4.4 and downgraded to 4.4.2. The issue is there on both firmwares.
should i try another version of 4.4.2? if yes, which build number??
okay so here's what i did
initially when i first got the phone it had 4.4.2 .317
i had done the ota update to 4.4.4 and i got all the
popular bugs; camera lag, low notification tones, call problems etc
downgraded bk to 4.4.2, keep in mind the lag has been here thru all this, no matter the firmware
so today i thought id try doing the software repair via pcc. This updated the phone again to 4.4.4. Just this time none of the previous bugs are there and i am happy to report the home key lag is completely gone. The recent apps key had a verrryy tiny lag sometimes but nothing as noticeable as to how it was.
After this i am convinced it is a software issue and hopefully another update in the future would fix it completely. But for now im satisfied.
Hi All
Hope you can help me as i have not been on here for awhile now. Any way i have unistalled and reinstalled older version of an app which is a workaround for an older android device.
So in other words i have android 7 device and got an app that officially does not support it. Anyhow the older version worked and then started to ask for an update and now it refuses to work due to the stupid update.
I have tried to use the update from third party programmes like aptoide ect but the app crashes constantly.
How do i get rid of this update i have told the playstore not to update anything but it still asks for the update and i have even removed my account so it cant accsess the playstore.
My device is rooted.
Update.
I have even tried to factory reset and still stupid update message.
