Unfortunately the process com.android.systemui has stopped. Sony Xperia M2

Hello guys. Basically I'm really concerned and frustrated right now. I own a Sony Xperia M2. And I turn my phone on only to find a message pops up saying 'Unfortunately, the process com.android.systemui has stopped. So I press 'OK'. And then my phone starts to glitch out and it keeps coming up repeatedly. I can't get into or tap anything. It ends up freezing. I have tried rebooting the phone lots of times but still has the same effect. And I've tried going to PC companion and restoring it there but it says it needs access to the lock screen, which I can't unlock as the phone keeps glitching. This is really bugging me. Please help?

I have just got a Sony Xperia D2303. I want to know about Lookout.

My Sony Xperia D2303 has many icons on it and there lots I feel I don't need. However, I think that I should have some security since I connect to wi-fi and the internet. If I sign up to this, do I have to pay to use this site. I am quite abeginner with a smartphone. Help please. Suzie-Q

Hi,
Android is a very safe operating system and apps only have access to what you give them access to so when you install them it will say before it installs what it needs access to.
To remove unwanted apps on your home screen if you just hold down on the icon it should vibrate and you should see a rubbish can at the top of your screen, just drag the icon over to the bin and it will be removed (from your home screen only)
As for security, as mentioned you can download lookout but if your phone is from EE it may already be installed so you should check. More details here: http://ee.co.uk/help/add-ons-benefits-and-plans/insurance/insurance-and-protection/lookout
I would add I have always used Lookout and I have their full package.
Any further questions then let us know.
Thanks,

My Experience with Sony Xperia Tablet S (so far)

For the Sony Xperia Tablet S, the bootloader is still locked, so getting an official install of Android is still impossible. I've decided to root it and clean it up as much as possible. At this point, It's either that or take it skeet shooting.
After rooting the tablet, I have managed to clean some of the junkware up manually. It's not the solution to the problem (only Sony or a judge can right their wrong), but getting rid of this junk seemed to help to some extent. Here is a list of all the apks that I manually deleted (season to taste).
Obvious disclaimer, here: If you brick your device, it's your fault and not mine. One thing that you COULD do though, is encourage Sony to up their morals and do the right thing by giving us the capability of unlocking our bootloaders. Selling people locked down hardware without the ability to unlock it is like selling someone a house and then telling them after the fact that they cannot clean the junk out of it, or modify it, or paint it, or fix the plumming, or replace the carpet, or even use the front door... I think you get the idea. It's a morally corrupt thing to do, IMO, and I think that Sony should be ashamed of themselves for locking us out of our own property.
I'm not nearly finished cleaning the tablet up yet (I'm going to take a break and get some reading in, but will focus on the system files next). At a minimum, this list can serve as a big chunk of useless fat that people can lipo out of their tablets if they so desire.

There are probably a few files that I removed and did not mention, but there won't be many. I didin't actually start keeping a log of the removals until later in the game, although I recorded as much as I could from my terminal buffer to make the list as complete as possible.
Obviously, if you're going to delete files, I strongly suggest that you keep a log AND make sure you have multiple types of backups (and backups to those backups). I actually had to rely on my backups on multiple occasions while coming up with this list. Again (as in "service not rendered"), we need our bootloaders unlocked so we can actually own the hardware that we have purchased.
Launcher and keyboard:
======================
The launcher and keyboard that come with the Xperia Tab S ******. On my system, I have replaced them both with the Nova Launcher and the Hacker's Keyboard, resulting in much (much, Much) better functionality and useability! And once those defaults were set, I removed the launcher and keyboard that came with the tablet as well.
Boot Animation:
===============
As far as the boot animation is concerned, that's easily changed as well. Nothing new here (Google it):
# find -type f -name bootanimation.zip -exec ls {} \; -exec ls -la {} \;
./system/media/bootanimation.zip
-rw-r--r-- root     root       242855 2013-05-19 02:44 bootanimation.zip
Something I need to figure out for my next steps:
=================================================
Can I simply build a stock Android system, take stock apks from that build and put it on the Xperia (replace) without any issues?
Can I swap them out whole-sale, or are there any caveats in regards to how far can I go with that?
Any advice of how to further improve this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

These are the issues as I see it:
The Software:
Initially, when I complained about not being able to remove unwanted software, this is what I got:
* "You can disable it in the settings and you won't see the icons."
* "You can root the device and remove the unwanted software, but if you do, then we won't honor the warranty"
We'll look at the logic of these, but first, let's inject a simple analogy -- something I think most people will be able to relate to with ease. Let's say that I buy a house, and I like the house a lot, but there is a toilet in the middle of the living room (I like social stuff that much ). So after I purchase the house, I find out that I cannot remove the toilet in the living room because I don't have the "special tools" to do it. In addition, this toilet has a bit of a valve problem, and it runs constantly.
The first supposed solution was "You can disable it in the settings and you won't see the icons." That's like saying "throw a sheet over it." In this case, disabling it doesn't even mean turning off the water. There's still pipework being used, because cache supporting those apps still keep coming back. So the toilet keeps running, and it gets to the point that it annoys the ****** out of me. Throwing a sheet over the toilet does not fix the problem, nor does it remove the offense from my living room. Not only is this NOT a solution, it's a horrible idea!
The second supposed solution was "You can root the device and remove the offending software, but if you do, then we won't honor the warranty." I'm not big on warranties, and over the years I've discovered that most companies give me so much hassle and additional cost over getting something replaced or repaired, that I'm better off getting another product (usually from another vendor). I personally wouldn't expect Sony to be any different in that regard. That said, I don't care about warranties. Furthermore I don't expect Sony to truly honor a warranty any more than I would expect a previous owner of my house to fix my leaking roof.
In my house, I don't want toilets in my living room. I realize that there may be a lot of people out there who might find this to be of great use and value, but for me, it is offensive just knowing that it is there. More offensive to me, is that I'm told I can not (or even "should not") remove it. But even worse is, "throw a sheet over it." To me, that's right up there with "We don't care so shut up."
So, left with no other choice, I rooted the tablet and took the (most obvious) toilets out of the places where I felt that they did not belong. I don't expect help or tech support from Sony, either and if "throw a sheet over it" is any indication of the help that I might get, then trust me when I say that I don't WANT any help from them.
But that's not even the crux of my frustrations with this whole thing. It's just a side-show.
The Hardware:
Lets get something straight - When I buy a piece of property (whether it be a computer, a motor vehicle or a house), I expect to be able to enter that property in any way that suits me (and the way by which entry was intended is no exception by anyone's reasonable expectation). Furthermore, if that piece of property has the ability to be locked, I fully expect to have the relevant keys, so that I might lock and unlock it on my own and at my own discretion.
With this tablet that I have bought, and therefore I own, I expect to be able to use the front door (the boot loader). It is my property, I hold the bill of sale (the "deed"), and I cannot see how Sony has any moral, ethical, or legal standing to withhold those keys from me, thereby preventing me from entering my own property in a forthright manner.
So far, I've read the following excuses on this forum:
"We do it for your security"
As in "Sony is my savior?" Hmm. Does this mean that if a Sony customer has an unrooted and locked-by-Sony Xperia Tablet S that gets hacked, and their bank account goes dry and their identity is stolen as a result, that Sony will take the responsibility for it, reimburse that customer, and pay any costs to get that persons identity cleared? Of course not. The term "Responsibility" is a two-edged sword, and it cuts both ways. As such, this excuse of taking responsibility of my security reads more like this: "For your security, we will control your house, but if you get compromised, you're stuck holding the bag, because we're not responsible." If that doesn't defy logic, then I don't know what does! This isn't an excuse for security. Instead, it's a lame excuse for control, which provides no safety net. I personally don't want someone who will not be responsible, taking on the role of being responsible for my security. I would much rather be responsible for my own security, thank you very much.
CAVEAT: I do understand that there are people out there who have no concept of security whatsoever and who do really dumb things, so the use of a snake-oil security solution can be beneficial (perhaps to the extent that it will "keep the honest people honest"), but my point is that it's still snake-oil, and it's benefits are far too limited for my taste.
So no, I don't want Sony's snake-oil security solution. I want what is rightfully mine. I want to hold the keys to the device that I have purchased. I want the ability to lock and unlock my own front door at my own discretion, and if possible I want to change the key set so that once I take control of my own device, Sony can't unlock that door while I'm not home. (there's an interesting idea, eh? ).
The other reason I've now heard is that "We do it to protect our proprietary software"
I would love to have a link or a scan of any document from Sony that actually states this.
If that is truly their position, then my response would then be, "Does this mean you do it so that I can't get rid of those toilets in my living room? I won't want them in my living room, I don't want them in my bedroom, I don't want them in my kitchen, on my front porch, or in my den. I don't want your software in my house, and being that this is MY house (as in "I hold the deed"), I'm ordering you not only to get the ****** out, but give me MY keys to MY front door! This house is under renovation!
On getting a refund:
If getting a refund is what Zero wanted, then congratulations to him. If a refund is what you want, then good luck. Do you think Sony will reimburse you for the time you've wasted with it as well? Just a thought.
I'm personally not interested in a refund. I simply want what is rightfully mine.
In fact, if this doesn't get resolved (or the tablet bricks in the process) maybe I'll take it skeet shooting and upload the video. It will at least be entertaining, and the upside to it would be that it couldn't be refurbished and imposed on yet another vict... er... I mean customer.
Final thoughts:
In the end, if Sony will not honor their sales by actually relinquishing the ownership of the hardware that they sell to the person holding the bill of sale, then at the very LEAST, they should start placing on their products warnings labels for future potential customers, enabling them to understand what they are actually buying, and what they are actually NOT buying -- Some type of "Brooklyn-Bridge" or "Bully" Buyer-beware warning should suffice, I think. If they do not do this, then I can definitely foresee customers being forced to go before a judge in order to actually take ownership of the property that they have purchased -- and that CAN'T be good for business. (Just sayin')

I forgot pattern lock on my Sony Xperia Z1 and i need it back

Hello,
on my sony xperia z1 phone i forgot my pattern lock. I can't use the Forgot Pattern Lock because it uses Wifi conection which i can't connect to...(my screen is locked) I want to hard reset it somehow but i tried allmost every method on the internet but none of them were working I tried holding the volume up and these things....but as i said it won't work for me. Can anyone please help me? THANK YOU VERY MUCH

In order to fix this you need to perform a system repair
Switch off your phone and unplug from Pc (Hold volume up and power for around 10 seconds)
Start PC Companion and select Support zone then Update my phone/tablet then in Blue Repair my phone/tablet and follow the onscreen instructions - When prompted connect your phone still switched off holding volume down or back button - This should start the repair or reformat process
If you are using Windows 8/8.1 or a 64bit operating system then adjust the settings for PC Companion and run in compatibility mode and chose Windows 7 or XP

I have a 2008 black macbook and access UK tv through a purchased proxy site. I want to buy a sony bravia internet connected tv to watch the channels in more comfort. Sony tell me this won't work - that the tv cannot capture my macbook content. Any advice?

I have a 2008 black MacBook and acess UK tv through a puchased proxy. I want to purchase a Sony Bravia internet connected tv and stream the site through a tv - Sony tell me this won't work - that a latest model tv cannot capture content and sites from a MacBook - is this true???? Surely there is a solution? Any help or advice welcome.

They are correct. The only stream you can wireless connect the TV to a Mac is through an AppleTV, and that's purchased content on iTunes, and your own homemade content that is H.264 MPEG-4 that is 1800kbps. Conversion of commercial video to that format is illegal, and hence how can not be stated on the forum. Alternatively, as long as the TV is HDMI, you can wired connect it to your MacBook using the same advice here:

Sony Xperia Z1 will turn on when charging but as soon as it's taken off charge, it turns off.

My phone was on charge connected to my PC on about 20% battery when it suddenly turned itself off. It refused to turn on so I plugged it into a wall charger and then after I let it charge for 20 minutes, I was able to turn it on. However, as soon as I took it off charge, it turned itself off again and now, when I put it on charge, the battery life flicked from 23% to 45% to 0% whilst it's plugged into the wall and it keeps turning itself off. Any help?

Hi alexvickers012,
Welcome to the community
Failing all of the above, you may need to get the handset to a service agent. If it does come to this please contact Sony Mobile within your region to get more info on what you need to do.

i m feeling sick at that time, Read all, Bcuz i spend much time in writing, So, My suggestion to Sony.===>>
I Like Sony Quality, The build quality of Sony is good, Looks like Premium,But This is not enough..
The main thing i dont like in Sony that Big or important thing is /Support, In Which Sony is not Doing well
Support,i mean to say, Software support/Service centres support.
There are many handset launched by Sony, But software are not latest, they Delaying the dates,
Which is not Good for Future.
I want to share my Story or u can say,my journey, when i had sony Product,
THIS IS REALLY TRUTH STORY AND TRUTH SUGGESTION
My first Sony Product was Sony xperia Sola,
At that time Latest Software was Ics, But we was on GB(GINGERBREAD),
I have not get Ics Update yet, I know that there is Many way to become install latest software(SPC,SUS,FLASHtl),
When i go To my near Sony Service Centre,I told to Service Guy, That " Please Can u Upgrade gb to ics?"
Then what they Said, "Do that Ur Yourself"
I was anger that time, then i told "Please My phone not Running Good, i also Tried with SUS,SPC, Then they Said, "we cannot do this,we havent time"
Sony Service centre is Looks like a 1000years Old Jail. even jail is more good then Sony service Centre,
Sony service centre Are not like Samsung service centres,
Sony Indian Service Guys are like Rude behaviour, Like a Criminal...
I also Tried to visit many Sony service Centre, but again i felt this is not fear.
I also have SONY xperia P, S, So,Support is Not out of the BOx... really truth
All service centre in india are like that.. Really, its truth,
This is The Raason Why Sony has Very very less sale than Samsung in India.
Because People Worried to Buy Sony Product, they Not sure, They think 3 times before buying Sony Product,
I have No complaint With Build Quality of Sony,
Samsung shipping/Production to India Is very big in World.
So,Sony need to change it first to Make them Production 20 times better.
Sony Should make Its Orignal Service Centre in Many Places Obviously With Good Service..
If this Low point would be correct in future then No one can beat sony in Future.
Because Support is Main thing in Consumer will happy.....REALLY..
So, My last thing i wanna say...
Sony is going well Now, if this Step accept by Sony, Then
FUTURE IS SONY::::>>>

Sony Xperia Z experiences few usability issues after updating to latest software

Recently I upgraded my Sony Xperia Z phone (see snapshot for current upgraded system info)
After this upgarde I am facing few usability issues like ease of keyboard use
I lost all saved words from disctionary, also punctuations symbols bar at top of keyboard is missing (see image)
When I enter any wrong word and I want to delete/modify entered word.. now it deletes character by character instead of whole word (earlier behavior)
What is the solution to get that top symbols bar in keyboard?
