gabbyevs · Jun 30, 2012

gabbyevs · Jun 30, 2012

everytime i try and backup my phone it crashes anyone else have this prob

Del1701 · Jun 30, 2012

Are you using pcc to backup?

gabbyevs · Jun 30, 2012

i was yeah tried 3 times and it kept crashing half way through

i think i managed to save all my stuff manuall anyway-after all that sus says im up to date so no ics for me

Del1701 · Jun 30, 2012

Oh well thanks for looking for the update

I never use pcc to backup to many problems with it, I just use google to backup contacts and calendar ect and sometimes an sms backup app from the play store if I need to keep some messages.

Mine was crashing right at the very end, when there was 1 second to go, tried it a couple of times, I then just took the photos, videos and music off manually and saved them to my laptop, tried the back up process again and it was fine....im running Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit, dunno if its an issue with that, Sony's software or the amount of data I was trying to back up....got there in the end though....just a pity PC Comppanion and SUS say my phone is up to date and I can't upgrade to ICS

gabbyevs · Jun 30, 2012

no worries del

thanks big i done same in the end yeah shame we havent got the ics yet

Del1701 · Jun 30, 2012

Tbh I wouldn't worry to much about ics just yet, this is the second time I've tried the swiss ics from xda and even though I've managed to improve the battery life from the last time it's still not as good as gb. From what I can see so far I think it needs some work on it to be as polished as gb, it just doesn't feel finished to me.

I think I may be flashing back to gb again later

Edit

And now my phone has started freezing after I installed dolphin browser

gabbyevs · Jun 30, 2012

No new SI numbers added to Main: Xperia

gabbyevs · Jul 3, 2012

says it was updated yesterday my number isnt on there though

Del1701 · Jul 3, 2012

Over on the sony support forum someone posted that sony uk told them that ics will be with the uk generic handsets in 2 to 3 weeks, the reason being that they wanted to see if there were any bugs or problems and fix them before we get it :rolleyes:

Ok my ears pricked up there... Is that with or without a locked bootloader? Mines locked and I want root

Tyseyh · Jul 3, 2012

I unlocked it. I *think* there may be a way to root with a locked bootloader. I looked at many sites though, look it up?

The update is now available for Three customers in the UK via Sony PC Companion. After about 7 failed attempts to get my phone recognised by the software (clearing out application data in MTApp), and one bricking scare, I have finally successfully upgraded to ICS.

Ha, no worries bud, glad I could help

powerkiter · Jul 4, 2012

Right back from the gym, my phone has 100% charge, so my next post is going to be one of joy and tribulation or a rant about bricking the phone...

See you all soon!

Del1701 · Jul 4, 2012

Ah is this the joys of rooting?

gabbyevs · Jul 6, 2012

i think i'll still wait lol

si numbers updated today if anyone hasnt checked theirs yet

powerkiter · Jul 7, 2012

Well I'm a happy bunny now! I'm now running ics and rooted with a locked bootloader.

Phones running fine and sixaxis app works a treat and so I'm now wasting time playing games on the tv via the phone using a ps3 controller this phone now officially rocks

So am I now. The process was more straight forward than I imagined. I was slightly unnerved when the batch files produced loads of unprintable chars when they were run, but bravely carried on and ended up with my locked bootloader SXS rooted with ICS
