It might be that you need a portion of that space to have available for the android market to store the download as its downloading, then to install it....
I think thats what I read a while ago.

39mb of free space is just not enough ; the apps have to download the apk and install them-which requires seperate space and so much more space than the apps original file size (what it says on the market) is needed ; try moving apps to sd and if you have root uninstalling SE's bloatware.

Thanks, but how do you guys have ANY space? I'm unrooted but still...

Then i suggest you root ; it helps alot. All the stock games that come with the phone take up around 50mb of space ; I've moved both adobe flash player and google maps to sd, deleted stuff i dont use i.e. default browser,timescape,all the SE facebook stuff, most of my apps are on my sd card and all of my games run smoothly (around half my apps are games) , another thing you might want to look into if you decide to root is the supercharger v6 which really speeds up the phone ( no idea how laggy your phone may or may not be with that much free space).

I could root. Something is stopping me though. Maybe I don't want to void my warranty or don't want to have to download and start all my games again. Any other negatives?

1)You can unroot.
2)It does not wipe your data - Infact you gain the ability to backup all of your apps via titanium backup - atleast it doesn't on .42 and software version prior to it.

So if I root, I can keep all my apps?

Yes, you have to restart your phone but thats about the most inconvenient thing about it

Also, my phone almost bricked I think... I updated ss launcher and powered off my phone, restarted it and it got stuck on Sony Ericsson logo. I took the battery out and it happened again but it's working now.. Should I be worried?

That happend me when i was rooting but i fixed it

I dont think so ; the phone in my experience is unbrickable ( i have a locked bootloader) - Root should not brick your phone - use the zerg rush exploit/method and I have no experience with ss launcher. If you ever have a similar situation to what happened to you remove your battery for around 30 seconds and then put it back in , try a few reboots. If that doesn't work , download Sony Ericsson Update Service (SEUS) and keep on trying to update/repair the software using that no to be confused with Sony Ericsson Pc Companion.
EDIT- I've rooted numerous times (due to me theming,trying out different things on my phone and generally just wanting a fresh install) and I have never had a problem with it - make sure you follow all instructions - if done correctly you should not brick and your data will be kept...

Hmmm. Never knew that and I actually just lost everything when I rooted my old ZTE blade. Anyways, who do I void the warranty with? Sony or the retailer? And if I un root, does that actually reinforce the warranty or is that just using deception to do so?

Rooting doesn't void the warrenty I think. Only bootloader unlocking.
Sent from my R800i using XDA App

Thanks. Are there any (pretty much dummies) guides on how to root this phone and how not to lose anything?
Sent from my R800i using XDA App

Actually, if I just were to root and have no custom roms (like the stock), would I still need to do all the backup and stuff or would it actually be very straight forward?
Thanks in advance

Turn on unknown sources and USB debugging.
Download SuperOneClick by shortfuse. Run superoneclick.exe as admin and click the root button.
No need to backup this has very low risk if any at all.

That's it?!
Sent from my R800i using XDA App

i didn't want to root.
THEN I DID.
Haven't regretted since. Just haven't unlocked bootloader.

so if i just install superoneclick user, would i basically have a rooted phone? and i can use supercharger and the like?

[Q] my Xperia play stops working.

hi, im new to this and i desperately need some help. My xperia play stops working, i think i know why i just dont know how to fix it. my phone is rooted with stock rom/kernel, sorry i dont know anything about it, but my firmware is .42 android version 2.3.4. I uninstalled the digital clocks and replaced it with Animated Weather Clock&Widget(AWC&W) then converted it into system app using titanium backup. I wiped the data of the AWC&W and uninstalled it 'coz im gonna replace it with another widget, then suddenly my phone went all black. Everytime i reboot my phone it always stops at the sony ericsson logo and doesnt go any further. is there anyway i could fix it? i hope this doesnt concern any hardware repair. thanks a lot!

Just restore it using PC Companion or flash it with flashtool

lol! i was just about to say that. i already fixed it.. sorry for the hassle.. and thanks, i love this site!

Can't press Google Play update or install button

HTC One X here had weird pixelating and freezing problems couple of weeks ago so we took it to the repair. They replaced almost everything, including the main board and we got it back just now. Works fine, but there's problems with Google Play. When trying to press update, it presses to the app. If trying to press update (just above the "remove" button) it presses remove instead and asks for the app removal. If trying to install new app and to press install, it doesn't do anything.
Is this because of the new android version they just rolled on to HTC One X or if they repaired it wrong, or replaced screen bits wrong or something? Really clueless here.
The phone is onrooted and on stock ROM, if that helps. Tried clearing data and the typical stuff, reboot, no luck. Before trying root and another ROM just asking if someone has similar problem, if not maybe we can take it back to the repair without unrooting work and such...

Did you try factory reset? If you don't want to do that then root, install titanium backup and uninstall the app, reboot then reinstall.

Hi, tried factory reset, didn't change a thing. Can't press update all, open or update buttons, it always chooses the space below it... for example in "My apps" view it selects the first app when trying to click "update all". In the app view, it selects "remove" when trying to click "update"... This issue seems to be only on Google Play, other apps work fine, even when tapping that same spot that is problematic in Google Play.
I don't know if I want to root yet, because if I'm going to send it to repair I have to do lots of work to unroot it (to remain warranty). But if it's the only option so be it. I wish the repair guys didn't mess something up last time. Other thing I'm guessing that the new stock ROM has some issues, but haven't seen reported them anywhere else...
What's the latest version of Google Play and where to get it? can I install new version of Google Play to unrooted system? Thanks in advance!

Gapps download: http://goo.im/gapps/
Make a backup first! Before you do anything made sure you can get back to this point. I think Google play is a part of the system partition so you can't uninstall without root. Bee careful, messing with that stuff can really make your life miserable if you can't troubleshoot!

Thanks! Without root, backupping is not that simple I guess. Ended up using this. Trying the latest gapps for 4.2.2 right now.

I have the same problem, the Install/update button can not be pressed.
Have no effect.

Walkman Lockscreen Widget Error

Every time I play a song and lock my Xperia ZQ (Brazilian Version of the ZL) I can't use any of my lockscreen widgets, and the music controls don't appear either. I was already having this issue at 4.2.2 stock and now at 4.3 (also stock) it still happens. Anyone know how to fix this?

maybe then some thing u r installing is interfereing with the walkman app or lockscreen,check the running apps when u play music ,if u hav any app related to lockscreen or msic in ur phone remove it and check,if ur phone is rooted then did u install any kind of mod?

Nope, just plain stock(not even rooted). Yeah, I fixed it by uninstalling the launchers I was testing, the problem was caused by either Themer or Sword Art Online Phone (which is strange, because I didn't have any of those before the factory reset ). Anyway, thanks for the help :good:

[Q] sony xperia ion

I recently unlocked my sony xperia ion which was on rogers network. Now using it with another carrier. Every time i start up the phone the rogers logo shows up and also there are a whole bunch of rogers applications which i cannot delete but can only disable for now.
my question is can I remove all the rogers software and logo from this phone?
Sony Xperia Ion LT28i, Android Version 4.1.2 ; Build Number: 6.2.B.0.211 Country Canada
Thanking you in advance,
Ash

Your xperia ion is branded ,
You can uninstall these rogers apps using apps like android tuner (root access needed)
Or you can completly debrand the device by flashing a stock FTF
Here are some instructions
(warning this method will wipe your user data (not whats stored on device music pics nd stuff will stay, apps wont)
(you can disable this)
Download Flashtool
Download Xperia ION flashmode and fastboot drivers
Download global generic 6.2.B.0.11 FTF
Click the lightning like icon
Find the ftf you downloaded and
Folow flashtool instruction
(if it says hold menu button it means Volume down when it asks you to hold it and plug in)

remove branded software
Hiand thank you for your promy reply, greatly appreciate it. I downloaded the android tuner and played aroundfor a while, did not come aross any referene to rogers, am i looking in the wrong place, any specilfic location to look for this item. once more need some help before i decide to flash the phone with the stock software. thanks once again

Simply flash a stock FTF, don't bother with removing all these apps as they are bound to leave some unwanted data behind.

So quick note - i didnt knotice "rogers" correctly ,what i do mean about that now is apps that dont arent of use to you or apps that are killling your batter, aka facebook , youtube, those can be reinstalled as a user app later
in android tuner you can go to apps and select system at the bottom and just remove any System app that isnt needed, anything with a complicated name is obvously core system , e.g. SystemUI
stuff like FB proxy can be remoeved because its a part of timescape and id doubt you would use that, well it seems no one does
