Does any one know why I never get any of the Sony updates for Walkman and album and move apps In the update center on the z3v
Same here on the Z3 D6603. I have to manually check for the updates but then it works.

There was an update for Walkman several weeks ago, but I think they're going to include all of the new updated apps into the Lollipop update.

Thats what I was thinking, I think Verizon blocks some of it, so they can put in their updates the way they want to.

I contacted verizon and after days of research they stated that they update the apps with the updates that come out for the phone and that they dont use the update center to update apps.
Are you sure? I remember getting a Walkman update through there before.

I remember getting one update too but they completely disregarded the fact that I had received an update and just ended with the fact that I would get the updates when the phone updates. I just gave up cause its verizon and I have already located and downloaded all the updates I wanted anyways.

What updates did you go out to find yourself? The only biggest update I've done is updating Walkman to the Material design that had been released for the Z2 Tablet. Only inconvenience is them removing the ClearAudio+ button from the front menu...
The problem isn't from the app. The notification that doesn't allow you to login is because Sony has discontinued their Music Unlimited service. The Walkman app doesn't know this though so you get the error message.
I cleared the message doing this:
1. go to settings
2. turn off Music Unlimited.
I love the Walkman app and hope that Sony doesn't really rebrand it to Music.

We aren't talking about the Walkman app having login problems, we're taking about updating apps from the Update Center. Which quite frankly, Sony confirms it will be discontinued and the feature will instead be integrated with What's New.
As for Sony dropping the Walkman brand, it's a move to get new consumers to know where their music is at since most people around the age of 15 or so didn't get to experience the brand iconic culture before in the 80s and 90s. Better just back it up before the update.
Damn, I thought I was being so helpful.

I don't think there is a way to back up anything you've downloaded from music unlimited if you were a paid subscriber. It's all in Sony's proprietary format I think. It's going to be a pain because 3/4 of my tunes will be gone and I'll have to set it all up again on whatever the replacement provides. Sony should do something for us paid subscribers due to the major inconvenience.

Oh, I meant just backing up the app itself just to keep the looks and branding of the Walkman app. I never use any music services so I can't help you there. Although, I thought Sony offers something for subscribers moving onto Spotify?

Sony gave me two free months for signing up with Spotify. Sound and selection are good but is like to see the radio integrated with the Walkman app.

After seeing people ask for a decent voice guided navigation app, I pulled the Telenav APK from my backups to share. It was posted waaay back in the early Captivate days. It's a free and legit version for basic functionality, which is plenty for navigation. It works the same as the AT&T Navigator app included in the stock phone from AT&T, but this one doesn't want to charge you $10 just for trying out the free stuff. You can upgrade to additional features for $10/month through Telenav, but there really is no need. It works just fine in basic mode.
Enjoy - slap the thanks button if this helps
Thanks for the app. I'm going to give it a try tomorrow....
google
Is it better than google navigator?
Depends on what u consider better. Better graphics and voice. Same performance. Heavier use of battery though.

I use WAZE, and seem to be ranked as 195 in the state. BUT, I tired the navigation, it works ok, but too many loops.
I would be going down a street and all for no reason it says go in this subdivision and loop around and come back out. - of course I was smart enough to see that trick.
Still goona use WAZE because of the other users posting where the cops are hiding.

Thanks for this! I had a question. Has anybody tried to 'trick' Market so we are able to download this:
https://market.android.com/details?...sImNvbS50ZWxlbmF2LmFwcC5hbmRyb2lkLnNwcmludCJd
This is V7.1.1 (different from the one they call TeleNav GPS Navigator for TMO) and is available to Sprint users. This version has some 'nice' Widgets (equivalent to that of AT&T Telenav) that V6.2.6201121 doesn't have.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMiCL6hV85Q
I am wondering if this will still work on the AT&T network...and, we wouldn't have to pay a ridiculous monthly fee?
Any thoughts?

That's weird, are you rooted? I haven't rooted my note yet. Try erasing your data that was created within the app, by going to applications, manage apps and click on telenav as if you were going to uninstall and click clear data and try opening again.

I am getting the same behavior as btothec as well. I am wondering how you were able to download in the first place godfirst? Normally, we (AT&T users) can't see this app in the AppStore as it is blocked...I found it via the Market.Android.Com site.
And, if you haven't rooted yet, you must have both AT&T Navigator AND Telenav installed at the same time (ex. AT&T Navigator exists on system/app folder)? Are you sure you aren't subscribed to the service (now)?

No Im not subscribed. I cannot find the app due to it being blocked but because of the link to it that was posted earlier I was able to download. Now the number I have from att was ported over from when I had sprint, and my data is still stored with my number from when I had the free service with sprint. I even have the ability to look at my recent destinations which was taken when I was with sprint last summer.
So, Playstation Mobile was released today. I installed the .apk on my S3 and can confirm we aren't supported.
Think anyone will release a crack?
I really don't know, it depends how the app finds out what model you are on, not compatible with hardware, possibly.
If I was Sony though I would check the model of the phone and check servers then probably not, unless people want to spoof their model number.

I would say the other way, "It's a shame that Samsung doesn't support PlayStation mobile on such a powerful device."
I installed it with the method on Android Police, but "files over 20MB can only be downloaded via WiFi" ok uninstall.
Also @onesolo it's not Samsung, it's Sony, they make the app, they have to make it compatible, unless you want Samsung to replace all hardware in the S3 with the hardware of supported devices, then it might work.

If we see it, I think it'll be a positive sign that the carriers listen to the voices of users wanting (demanding) updates and similar featuresets to other models of the same handset (not stripped down) but I'd be really surprised if we ever see another official update out of AT&T for the Note.
We're under contract for two years, IMO we should get good support and reasonable updates for those two years.
I still think if carriers didn't screw with the updates so much, they could get them out faster and cheaper, but I doubt that'll happen

true but not exactly what I meant. What I mean is say Samung goes to release say the Note 3, they write an ASOP rom, and then another that has all of the touchwiz, multiple windows and other cool samsung apps. When the phone hits the carrier, it will inevitably be laced with AT&T bloatware, but we'd still have the original ASOP from sammy to choose from. Now I know in this model there's no way a company like Samsung could maintain 2 ROMs for every phone, but I think many of us would prefer to go without touchwiz for a clean experience and true customizability that Android was meant to be.
Really though, if Google went to more of a modular design instead of encoding the hardware drivers within a kernel that would be the end all of that. Yes I do understand that kernal compilation with the drivers provides a speedier system, but heck our phones are packing a dual core and it's just linux and linux is quick by nature.
Just my thoughts.

Yeah, KK has been in the testing phase for some time now, but we don't know where in the process they are. I really wish Sony had an awesome site like HTC when it comes to updates. It doesn't say when it will get released, but it gives its users some hints (imaged bellow).
HTC also made an infographic about their update procedures, and i guess most Android OEMs have to go through all of this, so my guess is that Sony is pretty far down the list, and it's only a matter of days/week until we get KK.
Edit: Just remembered that Sony is unveiling some new stuff at MWC later today/tomorrow, and i guess we'll see the Sony "Sirius" (Z2) with Kit Kat, so again, we'll get it very soon.
Hope they release it with different ui so I will not feel bored with my bored phone?

There's a 12 minute long video of the Z2 out there which goes through pretty much everything, and there is a fair bit of change there. I can't remember everything, or anything at all, but do expect "tap to wake", new launcher(s), other new or changed UI elements, and let's not forget that KitKat runs much better than 4.3, since it's minimum requirement is down at 512MB RAM.
It's not the biggest OS update ever, but there are some nice little details there that makes it awesome.
Here's the 12 minute video I'm talking about. I know it's kind of weird to watch a video of a leaked device that has been publicly announced now, but it's a nice video for us to see what we can expect to see in our own KitKat build.

Well, carrier called SFR has revealed KitKat update plan for some models. Our "Monster" is also in that list, but the news are not as "creamy-unicorn-rainbow" as expected.
Ultra is to recieve KitKat treatment in April 2014, which us about 2 months more as I was hoping. http://www.gsmarena.com/carrier_sfr...e_plans_for_lg_g2_xperia_phones-news-7939.php
Hopefully this means only our french comrades have to hold on to JB that long and rest of us will get munchin on stock "KitKat bar" in march.

Maybe SFR plan to release it in 2 months cause they need time to add their own features to the OS?
Wait and see

Yup, you're probably right. Doesn't O2 and T-Mobile do the same?

So wait I though Xperia z Ultra was already unlocked so we wouldn't have to wait on carrier for latest update. If SFR getting it April ,we might get it mid March into April. Wonder if SFR had some deal with Sony to have Xperia z ultra under there brand.....
Update: so apparently SFR( Which is a France mobile company)has there own version of the ultra so yes guys you are correct on putting there own touch on the kit kat update
So Yea we might start seeing the update roll out mid March into April.
link is just to show that they do have there own version of ultra.

I find this interesting cause I though this phone was straight factory unlocked for all.
But also this company just gave us the deadline of release for kit kat. Which is Kool.

Yeah, i believe SFR and some other carriers add their apps and **** to firmwares, but most of us around here have the unlocked international version (without carrier bloat), and i guess we'll get it a little earlier than the ones with carrier locked devices.
