Album app not updating? - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi everyone, I just noticed today that my Album app doesn't seem to want to update to the latest version? Mine is stuck on 5.4.A.0.24 even though I know that the latest version is 6.0.A.0.26. I can't seem to update it through the update center, even though it still shows updates for Walkman and Movies. Is it just not working for me at the moment, or is it a problem with the servers?
Thanks!

I got the update in my first time, but when I had a factory reset, I never got it anymore.
Head here to get it manually :

Thanks for the link!
Oddly enough you're describing the exact same problem I'm having: the app doesn't update after a factory reset. Any ideas as to why this happens? The odd thing is that the walkman and movie apps update normally

I don't know why, after I read this, I thought I got the update and when I checked it I saw I didn't and just install them manually...

Market Stuck @ "Downloading..."

Hi All,
I have a Tablet S running honeycomb 3.2.1 update, stock rom. I've associated my google account and while some apps will install/update via google play - many will not. Unfortunately I'm not in a position to root/whatever like I normally would with a device I own myself (this is a work unit).
I've tried clearing market/download data/cache many times, reboot many times. Even gave up for a week and came back to it - same deal.
Can anyone shed some light on why this thing is being so difficult??!!?
FYI ICS update not avail for me yet.
Did you login to google talk? if not try logging and retry
I had the same issue. Had to wait for the market to to updated for it to start working again.
Market is currently on latest version, no good. I can uninstall updates back to "android market" but that doesn't work either.
Google talk is all signed in and fine - that's not the problem as I can download *some* apps. If signin weren't working nothing would d/l.

So you are not able to root this tablet because your boss have given you a device to work with or was it a gift and now you can keep the tab ?.
If som i should not wait any longer to root this tab, and install the inverted app from condi's AiO tool, this will reïnstall the play app, and probaly also the bug,
Even if its a work device, you could simply follow all the steps with rescue-backdoor etc in HC and then automaticly download ICS (UK) version,
Once you downloaded the ICS update you could simply get the unrooted version again by installing without following the steps for prerooting the signed zip.
on a later point, everyone will get ICS on their tabs, so no-one will notice right,?
Maby this info doesn't helped you out att all, but i think this is quite handy
Succes!,
Its been supplied to us by sony to promote stuff in store. Its still the property of sony ... So I'm not going to mess with rooting
Still haven't found a solution to the market, but I don't need it as much now. Was trying to get some wmv files working in something other than stock video player and market was being a pain not downloading things. Ended up getting mxplayer installed and just gave up on market and transcoded all the movie files. Not the best solution, but it works.

If it belongs to Sony, why don't you let Sony fix it?

Allright that says enough xD but then like Cat McGowan said, if you work at such a company why wouldn't you send it back by your self?. from what i understand you are working at a company thats regonized as a sony dealer am i right?, because your problem is a system thing, nothing that you can do about it, ( On a normal way )
It's surely just a software thing though, seems pointless sending it back for that. I did get my other video issue sorted so I don't really *need* market any more, and it got announced today that we should get ICS tomorrow (short notice, huh?!).
M.
Yép that will probaly fix your problem and after you installed ICS try to do a factory reset this is recommend so your old settings are clean again. Cache etc.
Good luck.!
Hi guys.
I had similar problem after updating from gingerbread to ice. After trying all tweaks nothing worked. Flashed again and nothing happened
However, disabling download from unknown source solved the problem.
My advice would be that when flashing a new rom without using external ed card, remove it before flashing. After flashing, disable download from unknown source. Try going to google play and update or download something. Once it worked, restart your phone and you can enable download from unknown source back.
I tried this twice and saw that it worked perfectly.

[Q] Update to 45.4.13

Folks,
Phone was acting very odd today...had to force close a bunch of apps. Rebooted, phone looked as it went back to factory reset since I was asked to re-enter my google account info. Once I did that, all my icons were set back to default but otherwise, all apps/data were there. However, texting didn't work. Updated my profile. Afterwards, I get a notification that update to 45.3.6 was available so...I updated. All seemed well but still...no texting and still had to force close a bunch of apps. Later, I received notification that 45.4.13 was available so...I updated. This update got stuck and all I saw was the infamous rectangle/Andoid Icon. I rebooted and it would just hang at the Dual Core MOTO logo. Cleared cache...no dice. Finally, hard reset to factory. Still...no boot. Hangs on Dual Core Logo. Using recovery, went to see if I could install update via Sdcard. It wasn't there to use.
Question...what the f*uck do I do now?? Phone is not rooted. Can I transfer 45.4.13 to sdcard using file transfer from my laptop somehow. If oyu choose to offer help, please be as detailed as possible since I am no expert by far!
Thanks!
Big Daddy

[Help] Lost IMEI after update to , and downgrade

Well, received my Sony Xperia Z Ultra C6833 a couple of days ago.
Received a notice on the OTA, upgraded to 14.1.B.2.257
I encountered random restart issues whenever Wifi is activated, so I thought, fine.
I finally have access to my computer, installed the PC companion, it prompt me with a new 14.2.A.0.290 update.
Again, I updated my phone, hoping it'll fix the Wifi problem.
After restarting, I did a test, as usual. Wifi problem persists, and what's worse, a new problem. Wifi and Playstation 3 SixAxis controller connected using bluetooth didn't play nice, caused my phone to reboot.
I know a lot of people downgraded the firmware back to the previous version, with NAN backups etc.
And some even managed to restore their IMEI back to normal.
But for my case, I haven't root my phone, attempt to downgrade it using Flashtool, lost my IMEI.
Seems that I have no choice, but to return it back to 14.2.A.0.290 praying that it works, and I still can't see my IMEI.
No, I don't have a NAN backup. That's the part which gave me a headache. I've messed around with HTC one X (a year ago), never had this problem problem before, and it's something new I've learnt from you guys today.
Tried cyangenmod's boot.img, doesn't do me any good.
Anyone managed to recover their IMEI here?
Otherwise I might have to get it back to the dealer for a replacement.
Update: Thanks to krabappel2548's guide, I've managed to flash it to 14.2.A.0.290 again and got my IMEI back, but SixAxis still won't play nice with Wifi, and the problem with random reboots while Wifi is ON still persists.
we have the same issue, mine happened during the old update, after ota wifi gets stuck, wont turn on and reboots the device. upto now its still not fixed. 3 updates have passed and still the issue persist. hope you find a fix it will help me too. tried everything from downgrading, flashing custom rom,kernel, upgrade, unlock, relock but still cant fix it
I guess i'm not the only one then. I can live with the wifi issue for the time being as long as i stick to using data. But i fear it's going to affect tethering should i need that.

Read it the moment I discovered that my IMEI is missing.
I tried reflashing excluding the baseband, doesn't work for me, right after i realized i have a missing IMEI.
Read up on the android emulator, but haven't tried it, as my computer is kinda old, took forever to run it. Will try it once I get my hands on a faster computer
Bah. Crashed when I tried to use my qx100 which i've just received. Haha. Anyone else has any fun with qx100 and z ultra combo? The Z ultra almost reminds me of my ex-girlfriend.
Meanwhile, I can't wait for kit Kat, and hope they really squash these bugs
The best thing would be to contact Sony and make them aware of this bug. Losing your IMEI by simply updating should never happen and it's quite a serious bug.
Actually i lost it after downgrading. Downgrade is simply because of phone keeps rebooting after I turn Wifi on.

I certainly hope so too.
Hope it fixes the rebooting issue with WiFi enabled.
Or the Google Play Edition port if it does fix the problem too
Anyone tested the new update yet? Does it fix the wifi issues with crashing/rebooting?
ok so i purchased my phone on amazon and got it somewhere around feb 25th, i got a message on the phone to update software so naturally i did, then i discovered what rooting does and i decided to follow some youtube instructions to flash my phone to an earlier firmware the link wasnt working so i found another which was C6802_14.1.B.0.475_GENERIC Hong Kong.ftf after flashing this i lost my imei its all zeros and i then tried flashing C6802_14.1.B.1.526_M3dD0g.ftf with no luck so im trying to find out what the updated software was that i must have downloaded when i first got the phone given the date i had recieved it im thinking that the 14.2.A.1.142 is the correct one that i must have updated to, i was running version 4.3 jelly bean before all this happened i also have this problem where everytime i turn off the phone and turn it back on it is in the chinese writing again and asks me to select my language again anyone know what to do short of return the phone while i still got time my internet is extremely slow im tired of it taking 4 hours to load a new ftf just to find out its not the right one ive heard some where hving success with the 290 getting their imei back but im thinking thats the software they started with or updated to to get it back so i have no idea which one i started with or which one i updated to all i know is the date i got it and that possibly its the 14.2.A.1.142 looks really familiar im downloading that one now so we will see what happens and i also read something about flashing excluding the basebands so if that is part of it please make it as clear as possible im obviously a noob but im learning quick
Pleas dont ask the same question in multiple threads.
See my reply to the other thread you necromanced

Yeah, definitely try LG Bridge. I also couldn't update for ages even though I kept reading that Marshmallow was out in my market. Then I connected it to my PC, opened up LG Bridge and bam, there it was.

For some reason the OTA is not available yet.
I am having troubles as well
I am having an issue updating my LG V10 aswell, I just bought it from ATT a few days ago and the day i bought it it showed that i could update to marshmallow but i had to wait for an available wifi connection so i hit remind me later, then i went to a buddies house and the notification popped up again so i hit remind me later yet again, then i got home and waited and waited no notification, then i went to about phone software update and then clicked checked for software update, all it said was communicating with server and never did anything no download notification ever popped up.so i tried clearing cache and that did not work i tried restarting phone and clearing cache and that did not work i tried factory resetting twice and clearing cache and that did not work. I also tried searching for software update through LG bridge and it keeps telling me that my phone is up to date, and so does the android software updater on the phone tells me the same thing that my phone is up to date, I am still on 5.1.1 and i cannot figure out a way to force this device to download the dang update. I have tried all venues that i know of, is there some kind of master reset like to restore the phone to stock other than factory reset? or is there some kind of firmware cache on the phone that i can clear in a folder using a file explorer?
I don't know, for me lg bridge works fine and find me instantly the update.
Maybe try a restore from lg bridge

LG G4 Unfortunately com.android.settings stopped working

i have LG G4 h810 5.1 official then after i update it to marshmallow using auto updates and when i clicked on security option in settings then i get error "Unfortunately com.android.settings stopped working" i try factory reset many times but nothing happens i think that the latest update which i applied to my phone has an error inside it.
can someone help me ?
same issue here man, i had been browsing all over internet trying a lot of solutions, none of them worked i tried to root the phone, install a new firmware, i cant find the right firmware for it. is there somebody who can help us?
I'm stuck with the same issue... How to fix it...
Have you guys tried other firmware such as Lineage os or cyanogenmod?
I'm stuck with same issue... Can't install apps from unveriffied source.
I also have been on this issue of setting app crashing when I try enter "Apps" in settings and click on any app, for weeks trying to fix it, including factory reset 10 times, clearing cash and starting new account on my phone, after I noticed it on my seldom used LG G4. But now it looks like I finally fixed it a minute ago (my com.android.settings stopped crashing, at least for now.) I used free App Manager by AndroidDeveloperLB from Google Play Store. It has option... something like uninstalling updates (or rolling a selected app back to the original installation). I uninstalled the update, and app "Settings" stopped crashing. Now I am waiting to see if system will install this update again, and if it causes crashing again... then I will think what to do... If crashes again, then I guess I will have to do a research and block updates for this app somehow)
Am stuck with same problem too. Cant install apps or set a lock code for my LG G4 H810 from ATT running on Marshmallow

I just fixed this issue on mine, only thing I did was restore my system through twrp. I made backups of prettymuch everything while the phone was experiencing bootloop because I guess I stopped google play services with airfrozen. Seems to have that effect anyway... So before factory resetting, decided to do a backup of system and data and prettymuch all the essential things, then reset and got the problem popping up in a fresh reset phone. Strange that my original more hacked and unlocked rom seemed not to have it... I couldn't enable debugging so I had to resort to twrp to figure out what to do and took a gamble and restored the system. Wow, so shocked when it showed up normal again.
So only take away is that the problem is isolated in the system part not data. If it is something to do with google play store and maybe I rolled things back to a previous version, I have no clue. Wish I could say for sure. If you don't have twrp, get it and you'll be back up in no time in some form I'm sure..
