hi i would like to ask what i need to install to my computer for the xperia s.(if there is a software about the phone like samsung kies)
also how i can see if the phone is full update to the os?(or if it has any available update,how i can check it?)
if i dont have the latest version of the xperia launcher,can i update it?
any must have apps/widgets for the phone?
You can use Sony PC Companion. It can be downloaded from HERE.
This software will show you last available update.
Look at your build number in 'about phone' and tell us what it says.
Pc companion should automatically install if you plug your phone into your pc.
But download flashtool as that's far better!
Sent from my Jellybean Xperia S
Pc Companion, Sony Update Service, Flashtool are the most needed. After that, download the rest of the programs that are on the Pc Companion home screen.

There are 2 more minor updates: .50 and .55.
These two updates fix some bugs, like proximity sensor at the end of a call and low volume on call. If you don't have those problems then there's no need for updating.

If Skydrive app is similar to the Dropbox app, then it will be running at background but will work only when you want. It all depends on the configuration.

Haven't updated yet though.

Seeing I have some important data that I don't want erased ( and I'm too lazy to back it up ), I'll pass on this update until other users report exactly what's in it.
And as for you who got .146, another user already uploaded rooted img, be sure to thank him.

Hey I have a xperia s running free xperia 10.
I was wondering if there is a way to patch the security hole which was recently discovered concerning compromised apks which affected 99% of all android phones.
Do i have to wait until the free xperia project fixes the hole and then install a new rom or can i patch it some how ?

I to downloaded and ran this bluebox app.
I ran the app, I am patched! don't know how, unless the latest ROM I flashed patched it, as I've downloaded nothing new (apps) from google play just app updates, I never update software (as I just flash), so how did I obtain the patch?
No malicious apps found, instal from unknown sources allowed.
I can assume I am safe? negating unknown sources allowed.
Just simply confused how my phone is patched, without me knowing, a good thing but can't see how it happened, unless the app & ROM updates did it
Advice/info appreciated.

just be careful on what you download, never download apps on unknown/shady sites(warez) and download apps only from well know developer or company, or just use playstore and you will be alright.

I cannot find its driver anywhere...
Can I mod the HTC/Moto one and force it installed? I want to use QPST to explore its internals.

Hello. How do did you enable in this mode smartphone Diag mode? You can link to the manual?

Temp root, and then run this it will allow DIAG.
Then setprop, see init.qcom.rc for details.
IIUC, diag mode drivers should be same for all Snapdragon (600 here) devices. Anyway it's pretty easy to edit driver ID and force installation.
Please keep us in touch, enabling QPST access will be great.
Also maybe you know is there any way to enter recovery without ADB?

Welcome!
No, I'm afraid not. Sharp's (and all of Japanese manufacturers') smartphones use highly customized versions of Android. Your only chance to upgrade to a higher version is when Sharp/Docomo release it. Still, you will need to have installed all minor (software) updates before that. What this means: Once a new version of Android is released, send your phone to someone in Japan (e.g. the seller you bought it from) to update to latest build version, then upgrade Android, then return to you. Everything else - you risk bricking the phone.
What you can do now that you have root... Install Titanium Backup Pro to make backups of /system apps, then uninstall them (but make sure you read on Japanese sites what can and what can't be disabled unless you want to brick your phone).
Another thing you can do is install Link2SD to integrate updates of built-in apps into /system (overwrite the built in apps with newer versions). This, however, is not really necessary now that the phones come with 8-16 GB of onboard storage -- used to be important for phones like my 005SH or SH-01D where available ROM space was 200 MB and 850 MB respectively.
Yet another thing you can do is install AutoStarts to disable certain apps from launching when the phone boots, e.g. OneSeg TV and many others -- this will make the phone work faster. But then again, the SH-06E is pretty powerful... how much faster do you want it to be?

Thank you very much for this reply! That's very kind of you. My phone has some little fault (software). When I'm using the lock screen (trying to unlock) the phone resets itself. That's the one problem I have at the moment. My sharp is new and really great but I have little kids and I'm afraid that one day they may use my phone.
I thought if my phone is rooted I can upgrade the system to kitkat or normal jellybean ( not branded) and fix that problem.
Looks like I have only two options. Sell it on ebay or try it to do some upgrade. There are some apps on google play, maybe mobile odin pro or something? Any ideas?

Hm... resetting when unlocking the screen... sounds weird. A friend has this phone, and my brother is still waiting to receive his in the next couple of days. But I haven't heard of any such issue with it. What is your build version? The latest one is 1.00.07. I read in the updates list that various bugs have been fixed but no mention of yours.
Have you disabled any apps? Maybe you can try re-enabling everything, then resetting to factory settings --- NEVER reset to factory setting if you have disabled any apps. Not sure about a rooted SH-06E.
I am sure that Android 4.3 will roll out some time this year for the SH-06E. You can upgrade it then. I might be able to help you with that but we'll see once the update comes out.
I did uninstall actually some apps but after when I restored the system everything was ok until I started to install google apps and the others. There may be some conflict. But obviously I'm not sure.
This phone is really pretty so perhaps I will not take a risk but who knows...
It would be nice if you could help me with installation of android 4.3. I have tired to find some information on Japanese websites, a there is some "img files" but those files are to small so perhaps it's not the system.
My build version is 1.00.07.
Kind regards
A little correction. I think I know what the problem is. I did not make an update of google keyboard and the problem gone. At this moment of course, after all day of using my Sharp. I hope this can be helpful for somebody.
Have you finally managed to get QPST worked?
I really want to use EDGE on my SH-06E but it seems that I have to enable it myself with QXDM.
I saw some Japaneses use HTC Diag driver on Xperia Z Ultra and it worked. Perhaps it would work with SH-06E.
hi there,
I just wondering, is it possible to upgrade to the latest (software/firmware/OS) SH-06E outside Japan? can I directly update just like ordinary android phone by OT using wifi?
thanks before

possible solution always for ur xperia;
1. factory reset
2. repair firmware by PC companion
3. flash stock firmware from another regions
IF problem remains after these
u should take to official service center
:good:
On 14.4.A.0.108 all the sony apps like walkman, movies, album etc. have their respective updates but upon updating theres no update for sony apps.
Like :
My Version currently 8.3.A.0.8 while the latest is suppose to be 8.4.A.3.1
And album currently 6.1.A.0.16 while the latest is 6.5.A.0.10
the same goes with Movies etc...
I know I can easily just install the APK of it but the thing is, why does those update appear on the older firmware 14.4.A.0.108 while on .157 it doesn't?
Same with my phone. I've posted a question on sony forum, waiting for response...
Yeah I saw that and I replied too. I guess this firmware brings bugs instead of improvements. I haven't seen any improvements except the fluidity but maybe this is due to the increased minimum frequency of the processor from 300 Mhz. -> 1.9 Ghz. but it also gives greater battery drain
From where does this increased minimum frecvency nonsense come from? CPU spy reports that my phone is mostly using deep sleep and 300MHz.
And yeah, no sony apps updates here either....could be a bug in latest firmware of maybe a misconfigured sony update server.
My Walkman version is 8.4.A.5.4
But Info eye is old 1.3.07 not 1.6.07.
And there is no update.
Sent from my D5503 using XDA Free mobile app
also in uc browser the web pages are not readable for very light font... previously there was no issue... there must be something wrong in this firmware because in 108 it works fine/....
Im plannging to downgrade since this firmware is not as stable as before. actually the stable firmware for Z1c is 4.3
I did a request to sony support through e-mail with this problem. Waiting for response... Maybe they will give some normal answer, not like they do on support forum.

I tried it with ODEX rom and still, the problem persists.
PS: to make it work on odex rom you just need to delete UpdateCenter.odex in /priv-app/ before replacing .apk
maybe it is not the problem of update center but the firmware itself.
Just received an update od What's New app via Update Center. However, other updates still are marked as up to date
Figures, what's new app updated here too. It looks like a sony server side problem....maybe to ease the load on the firmware update servers....
