Sony Xperia U: Go for ICS or GB?

Hi there,
I have bought my Sony Xperia U today and I have to say I'm loving it so far. However, I read that the update to ICS kind of ruins the experience (due to lag, glitches and bugs). Now, I was wondering if those glitches and bugs have been fixed already, since I cannot find a recent discussion on the matter. I would really appreciate it if someone could give me a clear overview. Should I update or not? Is there an alternative, if so, what?
Unfortunately, I am not such a tech-wiz and as a result I don't understand half of the terms being used (ROM, etc.)
Thank you for helping!

Some users said upgrading to ICS will drain the performance. But after factory reset, it went back to normal.
I suggest when you upgrade to ICS, don't forget to do factory reset. (It will clean everything).
But, GB is also good at performance, stability, and optimized for gaming.
Cheers.

Cannot Backup Encrypted Sony Xperia Z1 - Looking For a Work Around

Hi all,
Looking for help on how to backup my encrypted Sony Xperia Z1.
When i attempt to use Sony PC Companion, i get a backup error due to the encryption.
Anyone have a suggestion on an alternate means of backup?
Thanks heaps!

I have same issue with Z3 compact. So I have approached Sony support and they clain that this is not an error!.
Obviously this is an error, hence I am escalating this at Sony to provide procedure to backup encrypted phone.
There are a number of 3.party solutions available (even wo rooting), however these are of course not supported by Sony.
Currently I am using holo backup as a WA for making backup. This is *not* a complete backup, however it captures all user data.

Driver for all-in-one-printer L7590 for Sony Xperia Z2 Tablet

I cannot find any driver-app. Anybody who know how to solle the Problem?

Hi Liffe6,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I understand that you would like to learn how to print from your Sony Xperia Z2 tablet to your Officejet L7590 printer.
I check the specifications for your tablet and it ships with Android 4.4 (KitKat) as the tablet’s operating system so I have included the Android 4.4 (KitKat) and Later: Printing with the Android Print Solution document. It will walk you through how to print using the solution that is already installed on the tablet.
Another option is to download and install the HP ePrint Mobile app. I have included the HP ePrint Mobile App FAQ document for reference.

Sony Bridge for Mac doesn't work with my Sony Xperia J

I have installed Sony Bridge for Mac version 3.7.1, but it won't connect to my Sony Xperia J which I have only had for 3 months.
I get the error "Could not connect to your Xperia device. Please disconnect and reconnect it again. Restart the device if the problem persists". All the time.
I have tried all of the suggestions in the error message. I have also tried reinstalling Sony Bridge for Mac, to no avail.
I am running Mac OS X 10.9.2 on an iMac. I am also using the correct USB lead - the one supplied with the phone.
The Mac system log shows this error:
Apr 3 20:42:35 robins-imac.default Sony Ericsson Bridge for Mac[973]: BUG in libdispatch client: kevent[EVFILT_WRITE] delete: "No such file or directory" - 0x2
I suspect that whoever wrote Sony Bridge for Mac did not try it on OS X 10.9.2.
I am seriously thinking of getting rid of this phone and getting one that works properly with the Mac - ie, not a Sony phone. Sony always seem to have problems with supporting Macs, for some bizarre reason.

Hi Yorkshirecomposer,
I will ask the development crew about the system log error. Additionally, could you provide me with error logs to send them as well?
Here’s how to get error logs from Sony Bridge for Mac:
1. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the "Phone" menu. Select "Clear logs" to remove all old logs and get a clean start
2. Reproduce the problem you're having, whether it's connecting the phone, importing photos, doing backup...
3. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the ”Xperia” menu. Select "Export logs"
4. On the computers desktop there should now be a file named "SonyBridgeForMacLogs_[date].zip
5. PM that file to me or post the contents here
Best Regards,
David

Firefox for Android crashes on all three of my Sony Xperia V's (LT25i), usually when a page contains one or more embedded videos or Flash animations.

I have three Sony Xperia V (LT25i) phones, all of which are running the latest Android firmware version (for that model (9.2.A.2.5) to date. Since I had been using Firefox since 2007, I tried numerous times to run Firefox on all three with limited success. The browser crashes whenever I load a page that had embedded videos or any other form of animation. The issue was so frustrating that it caused me to stop using Firefox altogether and switch to Chrome, which is in no way nearly as sophisticated, streamlined and feature-rich as my formerly-beloved Firefox - a situation which I would very much like to reverse. Thanks.

Oh, there are too many to list - basically any page that's even slightly heavy-handed with videos and/or animation.
For the record, I managed to ''somewhat'' alleviate the issue by uninstalling Adblock Plus, but I haven't yet done enough testing to verify that Adblock Plus ''actually was'' the root cause of the problem. However, that didn't solve the issue of the text on any page flickering at five-second intervals, which makes reading longer articles a very annoying and unpleasant experience.

Where to buy charger for sony xperia model no. SGPT1211?

i would really like to get sony xperia charger..
pls.help me to find where to buy it.
thanks
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Unfortunately, this is a major effort. It's been discontinued and is very hard to find. Sony has back ordered it, but it's in 2 parts, the brick and the cord. Combined it's about $55 or so. I found some retailed in China that are selling them for $70.
I just bought one on Ebay for $40 and hopefully it's compatible. Sony has done a terrible job with these adapters and their exclusivity and reluctance to make them universal with their other products. It makes it very hard to buy replacements.
Good luck!
