  • Problems with Smart Wireless Headset Pro after upgrading my Xperia Sola to ICS

    Just want to let the community, and Sony, know that since I "upgraded" my Xperia Sola to ICS, the Text to Speech on my Smart Wireless Headset Pro is not functioning. It used to work just fine when I had Gingerbread on my phone, but when I upgraded to ICS, the Text to Speech voice is not output on the headset, but on the phone, on the call speaker... Hope this bug gets fixed soon.
    Maybe someone already knows of a solution?
    Thanks in advance.

    There is a new update available for the Smart Wireless headset pro, MW1 (0.1.C.0.3).
    Which software version are you running your MW1 on?
    If you don't have the latest I suggest that you use SUS to update your software.

  • Xperia Sola: could not download the update (6.0.B.3.162)

    I have been trying to update my sola to 6.0.B.3.162 for three days now, but the java applet that is running the update keeps saying that I have no internet connection. See screenshot. Sometimes the software download seems to start, but then I get the message again.
    My internet connection is rock solid. I have tried to switch off my firewall and virus scanner. But that did not help.
    I do not have an SD card, but that does not seem to be a requirement for the update.
    I can understand the server is overloaded or down for a few hours. But for three days in a row ....
    Can anyone tell me what is going on?
    Thanks Ayco

    Foud this myself: http://talk.sonymobile.com/thread/46785
    Apparently the folks at sony apparently haven't found the time yet to come up with a more helpful error message, explaining that the failure to update has nothing to do with your internet connection

  • Flashing android rom in Linux (Xperia Sola)

    Hi
    I have installed Arch Linux but cannot find suitable material on setting up drivers and utilities for flashing rom on Linux specifically arch linux. I am using Sony Xperia Sola and I want to flash custom rom into it.
    I can setup arch even if instructions are available for other distro Linux Mint and Ubuntu so any link can come in handy.
    I was using flashtool in windows but after shifting to Arch, I am not sure whats the right procedure to do it.
    I have unlocked bootloader and rooted rom (FXP kernel + MIUI) installed as of now which I want to change asap.
    Please help.

    Hello india286
    Please use Pc companion in Repair mode to try to fix the installation:
    Run the Pc companion Software
    Turn the phone off and disconnect it from the computer
    1. No matter what the program says do not connect the phone until you complete step 9
    2. In the welcome screen if asked click on start, Next you will be shown what media go offers, click on "next" then you will see a presentation on what support zone offers, click on "Finish"
    3. In the next section from "support zone" and "media go" new select "support zone"  and click on start.
    4. On the next page select "Software update" and click on "start"
    At this point if you get an error stating that "unable to install update components" or "server is busy" Please proceed to step 12
    5. The program will say that there is no phone connected and will ask you to connect but disregard that and instead choose the option to "repair Phone".(the program will issue you a warning on the content that you will lose during the update)
    6. Choose the option to continue.
    7. After that, the program will download the necessary information (5 to 6 minutes) and it will present you with a list of phones.
    8. Choose the Phone from the list (close to the bottom of the list)  click on the icon for the phone and then click on "next"
    then you will see a new section telling you how to connect the phone. (don't connect it yet)
    At this point the phone must be off and disconnected from the PC.
    9. Connect the cable to the PC not to the phone, then follow the instructions on screen to connect the phone, if done correctly the program will say "the update of your phone has started..." (in some cases a message of  "Installing drivers" will appear before the message of "the update of your phone has started..."  is shown.)
    10. If you failed to follow the steps correctly the phone will turn on and it will request that you "Proceed with the following steps, slide down the notification bar", If this happens disconnect the phone from the cable, turn it off and repeat from step 9).
    11. If the PC Companion proceeds correctly wait for the update to finish and follow instructions on screen.
    Dear customer,
    12. If "unable to install update components"
    1. Close Pc companion
    2. Install Java from: http://www.java.com
    3. start Pc companion again and try to do the software unlock process once more.
    If this fails let me know, you might need to send the phone in.
    Best regards
    Francis.
