My Xperia S (LT26i) firmware update problem and slowing problem

Hi, I have Xperia S (LT26i) and i tried to update my phone to 6.2.b.1.96 firmware using PC Companion bu couldn't accomplished. It gave a error after long pressing the volume down button and starting the firmware update process. So i had to turn back to old firmware. Secondly my phone is so slow. Facebook is opening approximately 20-25 secs. and gives "facebook is not responding" messages while using. Same is for telephone and browser. I factory resetted the phone a couple months ago and i dont want to reset the phone regularly. Can you give me an advice? Thanks in advance...

A clean update
Performing a system repair using PC Companion - This will factory reset your phone and erase all data
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 on screen 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

G5 Firmware update necessary? Random problems since Tiger upgrade.

I have a PowerMac G5 (7,2) with a 1.8 GHz PowerPC 970 (2.2) CPU running under boot version 5.1.4f0. I have added memory.
I apparently upgraded from OS 9 to 10.2.8 without running any firmware updates. I quite frankly don't remember. I have since upgraded to Tiger, directly from 10.2.8. (There were OS X versions in between, I'm told. *wry smile*)
I am now having random problems.
The machine won't sleep. Display will but tower won't.
On occasion when I boot it up, I get the blue screen and nothing else; I have to shut it off with the power button and restart.
iPhoto (ancient version) is running agonizingly slowly (better since I did the fix suggested in the iPhoto forum in answer to someone else's question).
A short while ago, (in the last week) I noticed that some of my rules in mail ceased functioning (while others work fine). I deleted and recreated them to no avail. I previously had serious Mail problems that I fixed thanks to Mr. Gost, but those were largely of my own creation, so this latter might be unrelated.
If I'm reading things on the various boards and in Apple's Support forum right, in order to truly fix this I should deal with the firmware, to wit:
1. temporarily remove the memory I added (not factory-installed)
2. somehow (handwave) install OS 9 OR boot up from a OS 9 disk
3. download and install the 5.1.5f2 uniprocessor firmware update that Software Update keeps insisting I need.
4. reinstall the added memory
5. If I've reinstalled OS 9, reinstall 10.2.8 and then reinstall Tiger. (because I can't go directly from 9 to 10.4, right?) Otherwise, a clean install of Tiger might be a good idea.
Is this accurate?
Should this solve my blue screen and non-sleeping issues?
Are those issues indicative of a serious problem, or just annoying?
Is there more than one firmware update I should be using?
Will updating my firmware at this point create more issues than it is worth (as I'm seeing that many people had issues after firmware updates?)
Also, these problems seem to have intensified since the update to 4.10. Can I go back to 4... um... the last update? If so, can you point me to directions?
Sorry to be so verbose. I'm obviously more than a little behind the bell curve on this upgrade. The version of iPhoto I want (6) isn't even sold anymore.

Software updater insists the firmware update I need is 5.1.5f2. The only information I can find on this is on a 2004 page at apple support (http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=86117) that states:
These firmware updates cannot be installed when the computer is started up from Mac OS X. In order to install them, you must start up the computer from a Mac OS 8 or Mac OS 9 System Folder on the computer's hard disk (not from a CD).
When you click on the technical details it says:
Remove any third part RAM before installing this Firmware Update. After the Firmware Updater has verified that it has been completed correctly, you can re-install your third party RAM.
There are other firmware updates, but they don't appear to address the issues I have been having, and they're not what Software Updater says it needs. Am I missing something obvious here?
I will check the USB devices. Thank you.

HT3728 Firmware Update 7.6.4 Error: I uploaded the 7.6.4 firmware update today, and received an error message as it was finalising. As I am using my Time Capsule as the Airport router, I am now no longer able to access it to try to resolve the problem. He

Dear Support Team,
I agreed to the Time Capsule 7.6.4 update today, but as it was completing, I received an error. It said to close the page and try again.
I use my Time Capsule as my Airport wireless router and now can't access the Time Capsule to re-upload the Firmware update.
Has anyone else had this happen?
Is there a way to resolve the problem?
Do I need to hardwire the Time Capsule? Then what?
Would really appreciate some help!!
Thanks everyone.

Factory reset the TC and it should come back to life.
The Factory Reset.
Power down the TC.
Hold in reset. and keep holding it in. Be Gentle! It is a tiny surface mount switch with a plastic lever.. Attempting to push it out the other side of the TC will not make the switch turn on better.
(I fix TC and have several reset levers bent over and jammed or broken off).
Power on the TC.. remember with the reset held in.. this needs three arms.. a friend or power switch you can get to with your feet..
Keep holding in reset for about 10sec until the front LED flashes rapidly.
Release reset and wait .. the boot will be slow as it deletes previous setting.. only from router side and pulls out the factory defaults. No files are deleted on the hard disk.. but the name of the TC may change.
As a rule .. wireless is not reliable enough for mission critical work like firmware upgrades.. (Heck I don't think it is reliable enough for backups).
Apple doesn't insist on wired connections.. some other manufacturers do.. and post warnings not to attempt it over wireless. Warnings inevitably read after the failed firmware update btw.. so perhaps Apple have decided to just save themselves the hassle.
I believe it is just good practice to use ethernet for any time that sitting on a branch.. whilst sawing it off (ie failure will kill any future access).. means you always use ethernet for any setting up of a wireless router.. but you see I am old.. with grey/white hair.. and too many dead modems and routers around me.

Firmware update failing and constant restart loop PLEASE HELP

I was updating my firmware, the update that fixes problems with batteries over 1000 loads.
The loading bar on the apple screen gets half way, then it shuts down. I turn the computer on again and it just repeats.
Please help.

Just giving an update incase somebody else might have this problem too.
I took it to my local Mac repair shop and it turns out there was actually a problem with my hard drive, and the fact it decided to happen right after my firmware update was just a coincidence.

Omen 5012 firmware update, keyboard backlight color problems

When upgrading from F.09 to F.23, the ability to control the keyboard backlight colors went away, as discussed by OP. When checking the available firmware updates, HP Support Advisor showed new firmware and 3 other downloads, as of 30 July. Then, I pressed check for updates, and all the entries disappeared, now HPSA says there are no updates available. In any event, where can I download the latest firmware, and has this fixed the inability to control the keyboard backlight colors.

The website detects what OS you are on, so searching for it within Win10 will show you only what is qualified for Windows 10.
From the link below, can you change the OS:

The link for BIOS F24a is: http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp71501-72000/sp71501.exe
Now, let me run this on my Omen first! This was writin for Win8 and may cause problems running in Windows 10!Let me be the guinea pig.
Stand By.

Firmware update rejected and unable to sync iPhone

SuperDrive Firmware update 3.0 will not install. It keeps telling me to close all applications and try again but it's not working and I've restarted my MBP twice. Also my iPhone 4 will charge but nothing comes up in itunes or my desktop acknowledging that it's connected. I just synced them a few days ago and everything was fine.... suggestions?

Same problem

PS Vita Firmware Update(s) causing a problem

My brother? He's been using my account. He doesn't have one

It's been a while since I used my Vita. I lent it to my little brother to play games on for a while. I got it back from him yesterday. There've been a good few updates since then but it seems one of them has caused a problem.
I felt like returning to my Disgaea 2: Dark Hero Days save file only to get the infamous DLC Error when booting up. I followed all the tips and tricks that were used back on the PSP but to no avail. I looked around a bit more and people were reporting this from around January time. My save file was from October 2013 so there's definitely been a lot of updates since then. One post I read said it was working fine until he updated his Vita earlier this year. I have redownloaded and installed the game and all it's DLC a couple of times and also tried formatting my memory card after backing up my data. Even if I start a new game, the DLC cannot be found. Any help would be great, but I don't know if that would work. It seems that only someone official looking into this problem and seeing if they can find a solution is the only answer. Also, I have no idea if this is affecting any other games at this moment. Honestly I had no idea where to post this thread. I thought due to it looking like an update may have caused this that it may be best here. If not then I apologise. I'd also like to know how I can get in touch with anybody who could look into this if it's no good posting here. Any help is much appreciated, Thanks.

Stream 8 update frozen (and other problems)

Hello All,
I got a Stream 8 for my wife for Christmas, set it up for her and updated with windows update on Dec 15th 2014. After Christmas, the tablet seemed to be working for her, but then became really laggy...
Problem #1
Windows Update screen will not open, and when I try to access it from the control panel the window becomes frozen. I have left it on this screen plugged in over night, twice, hoping that it was simply a large update that would rectify itself if given enough time.
I was hoping to turn off automatic windows update to stall any automatic update while I attempted HP software updates
That Failed.
Problem #2
I attempted to Download the HP Stream 8 BIOS update after I went onto the HP site and downlaoded the HP install program. That also got stuck at 0% overnight.
Failed to downlaod anything, so I closed the program and restarted
Problem #3
Windows Store Fails to load - just keeps spinning
Problem #4
Sound is terrible - tinny and digitized on 50% volume. Speakers sound broken.
Any recomendations for attempting to fix the windows update issue?
I bought this Stream 8 tablet from the Windows Store , and it seemed to work for ~3 days... I want my wife to be able to use this as a home tablet and travel computer that has much greater functionality for work than my Nexus 7.
Thanks for any guidance!

Clock problem and shutdown problem! Are they related?

Having a problem with my Dual 2 GHz Power Mac G5
A few days ago I noticed that my clock was not showing in the menu bar in the upper right corner of my desktop.
I went into System Preferences and went to Date & Time. Under the clock tab “Show Date and Time in Menu Bar” the box was not checked off. I checked it off and went to the “Date and Time” tab. The date and time was correct. I then checked the box “Click the lock to prevent further changes” to lock it. The date and time did not show up in the menu bar. I then went back to the tab “Show Date and Time in Menu Bar” and the box I checked was not checked off even thought the lock was still locked.
I then moved my cursor up to the menu bar in the upper right corner to see what would happen and the spinning beach ball started up but only for the original icons such as Bluetooth, Mobile Me (which I do not use), Time Machine, Spaces (doesn’t indicated the number when I switch Spaces, etc. The icons Norton Anti Virus and Tech Tool Pro in the menu bar are okay.
Also, when I attempt to shut down my computer the system clears the icons from my desktop except for a picture I have on my desktop and I get a gray wheel spinning and the system just hangs until I press and hold the on/off switch. I don’t know if the clock and shutdown problems are related.
The only new software I loaded recently was Skype with Logitech WebCam for the Mac and Quicken 2007 (Had a problem with Quicken 2006). They both are working okay.
And ideas on why I cannot get my clock to show up and my computer to shutdown?

You may have to consider a new post in the Hardware forum area for the computer
model and build/year; if there is a possibility of some basis the matter could be in
the machine and not the software running within it.
Your last two/three posts are in the Leopard 10.5(.8) forum area and do indicate
some kind of problem where troubleshooting the computer to discover if the matter
at hand would be either hardware or software based, may be the way to go.
The link to the 10.6 Snow Leopard forum won't be of help if your computer is a
PPC-based G5 tower, or other older pre-Intel configuration. And I remember
your earlier questions about the iMac G4 and some other issues in the past.
You may ask the moderators to put your post in a new thread of its own, in the
Leopard 10.5 area; so as to not 'piggy-back' another topic; even though some
of the odd issues you've had seem similar to this OP's topic line and appear to
be in the same general series of hardware. {The question here seems valid.}
The routine suggestions to check, test, verify, and perhaps repair or replace
the system; save a bootable clone to suitable external standalone device if
testing a suspect computer's viability is recommended; and the basics if not
already tried to help isolate the issue(s) as you've posted elsewhere, may be
of some help to try and do; so in that matter, a new thread of your own is best
for your own directed feedback. Since this kind of advice applies to most any
situation, including troubleshooting what may be hardware or software, I'm
adding my two and three-tenths cents worth here.
Your original included Apple Hardware Test may be of some help, in the process
of elimination; but is not conclusive, so other methods would be also suggested.
Some ideas appear to cover the same ground. However, system corruption or
disc failure can also manifest itself in odd ways & affect things indirectly for a time.
• OS X Maintenance And Troubleshooting
http://www.macattorney.com/ts.html
• Mac OS X BASIC TROUBLESHOOTING & MAINTENANCE
http://www.gballard.net/macrant/osx_troubleshooting.html
• Troubleshooting Tips for computers:
http://www.stcdio.org/offices/cem/mediaandtechnology/cem-computer-classes/troubl eshooting.html
So, at the risk of inadvertently alienating the OP, I am posting this as
a general help to following readers at some later time; and it may not
be too simple for a refresh course.
Some software issues can be resolved by repairing disk permissions,
and re-applying the last OS X update Combo file over the same one
already in the system; or if not up-to-date already, check & repair all
the general items and then apply the last Combo update.
A too-full hard disk drive can compromise the system integrity, so that
is a matter of course to keep up on what resources exist and remain
for the OS X to function correctly and for apps to multi-task together.
However that works out...
Good luck & happy computing!

Thinkpad w520 technical problems and warranty problems

I have a huge problem with my Lenovo ThinkPad W520 (Machine#4270CTO, SN * 11/07) purchased on US website in August 2011. Here is the story below:
In late December 2011 my laptop hardrive stopped working and as I am in Georgia(Caucasus) I went to the Lenovo Authorised Warranty Service Provider (not naming the company). They made the harddrive replacement very quickly and i was happy back then.
By start of January 2012 another problem came - my keyboard stopped completely working and as before I went to the service provider again and the faulty part was also changed in 2 weeks time.
By the end of January several problems occurred all together:
1. The speakers stopped working completely they just give an itching sound.
2. The track pad 2 buttons are completely unresponsive (not working) and the same 2 buttons on the keyboard - when I turn the trackpad off completely the keyboard buttons work.
3. 2 days ago computer completely went off and it is not starting at all. Power button lights on (green) than a flash turns on and immediately off and nothing happens besides the power button light .
I contacted Authorized Warranty Service Provider again some days ago but unfortunately they give me the following answer: They have a limit for service from Lenovo 1 times per computer which means they can order only 1 part replacement a month and as last keyboard replacement they made was on 12th of February 2012 I have to wait.
I'm really confused of the Lenovo quality and service ATM paid over 2,000 USD in a machine that had no sound and track pad for the last 2-3 weeks and now the computer is completely off and I can not even use it.
I used to be a Lenovo/IBM customer for quite a long time not only for my personal use but also for business and I never had problem with Lenovo products before or support. 'm Honestly tired of this computer and situation in general and instead of changing every item(Listed above) and wait 3 months till my Laptop is fully working is just nonsense and also to be an owner of a high priced brick with almost all parts changed under a guarantee is also not pleasant . I'm sort of stuck on what to do and I ask some solution for me is there any way to change the computer to new/refurbished or get my money back?
Moderator edit by bananaman: Masked serial number to prevent misuse.

I have had similar problems, and would recommend the following:
You probably wont get a resolution from the forums, only sympathy (which can help!).
Keep calling anyone you can find to do with Lenovo warranty about the issue utill you get a decent response. I was calling every day for 2 months. The process was so painful, I now live with the non-critical problems rather than deal with them.
Next time consider Dell. Their 3ry warranties have been outstanding - shipping parts to me anywhere in Eurpe within 48 hours, or collecting from my office and returning fixed 2 hours later, even in Gibraltar.

IMovie 11 export unsync, transition problem, and sound problem

Hi all. I have done a 1 hour and 36 min long movie on my weeding and it's made of around 80 "clips", where in some places the original sound is used and in some places external sound is placed instead. In some places iMovie text boxes is used and in some places the video has filters and slow motion (so a lot of random filters, effects, etc and chapters).
So my problem? 3 weeks ago I wanted to just test the video before doing everything done and exported it as mov HD1080 and it worked good on other devices. When improvements done I tried to export it again. But as it is now, when I export is, regardless if its to iDVD, iTunes, MOV HD720 or 1080, and regardless if its "finilized" first or not, or if its shared to "media library", the transitions is not working (un sync) and the sound is fading out to 0% during all the transitions before up to the original level.
I have for real exported the film more than 25 times and average export time is 6 hours due to the high quality and the time duration.
When just in the project view looking and listening, everything is just perfect. As soon as I finilize the project, or export it, even in the project preview it doesnt work. I also tested to install miDVD pro (10$) and WonderShare DVD Creator (39$) to just sharing the project to them, but the result was the same.
I just want to be able to export it as it is in the project.
I have macbook 13, moutain lion, iMovie 11
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!

I have iMovie '11 and cannot create a HD 1080p movie. I've got a 27" iMac with a 2.93 GHz Intel Core i7 processor (I purchased this computer last month). I tried like crazy to export the HD movie last night (it's one of the new trailers -- the one that looks like Indiana Jones & it's less than 1 minute long) but no dice due to a "HEAP" error. I tried to export the movie a couple of times this morning. It went a little further in the rendering until the HEAP error popped up again (this was from a fresh reboot). The really odd thing is that when I render it in HD 720p, my movie clips are black. No video. The built-in trailer stuff from iMovie '11 is there, just none of my clips show up (they're all black).

Power LED flashes, firmware updates good, and can still access the router

I have a wrt54G first version as there is no version number. About two months ago, the power led started dropping out and with a reset worked for a day or so, then, it became worse, every hour, and now only a couple of minutes. according to the help side of this site, the router will not be accessible, but it is. I upgraded to the 4.7.1.1 firmware, the problem continues, un plug and start it up. Any ideas? Could it be the 12 volt power supply going bad or over shooting the power?

yes, that is the level, verified at the router. the help side of this site says that if the led flashes like this that it would be corrupt an un accessible, but a restart of the router stops it, and it is accessible, moreover, the upgrade fails since that is the level at the router. just that it is happening about every 15 minutes (8/3) - could it be that comcast is sending packets of ??? to blow out routers? Thee state they don't like people using routers - that you are not supposed to use more than one computer with their broad band connection. Yes - serious, the e have said this twice in the last 6 months. Don't know what it could be, Saturday - Sunday it has not dropped out at all

Nokia E71 Firmware update 300.21.012 - problem wit...

Russian language got messed up - I get Ukranian language instead!!!! Some Russian simbols like Э and Ъ are missing. In the preious firmware everything was ok.
Please help to fix!

it could be because you had a different language pack installed and now you have a language pack native to your phone. although i would think that both Russian and Ukrainian would be in the same language pack.
i think yours should be euro 2
Russia: English, German, Ukrainian, Russian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Hungarian
with these langauges. try to remove your battery for 5 min. reboot your phone and see if it makes any difference. if not, perhaps reinstalling the firmware or your last option is this:
the only way you can change a language pack is by going to nokia care. also make sure that the language you use plus the language you want are both in a specific language pack. nokia care will install the desired language pack for a small fee. there is few things to keep in mind, you will lose your installed language pack if you update a firmware and/or have to reformat your phone. in that case your language pack will default to whatever native pack was installed with the firmware meant for this product code.
You know what I love about you the most, the fact that you are not me ! In love with technology and all that it can offer. Join me in discovery....

Can someone give me C6902 firmware changelog with a little description?
Please
I am currently running 14.2.A.1.136

Hello
Sony doesn't usually release changelog along with the release of the new firmwares, but when it does, it's only for major android version updates listing new features and bug fixes of major bugs
