Hey all - just thought I'd share what happened to me last night (and sorry for the essay in advance lol)-
Some background info - I've currently got an xperia t out with o2 and have been checking quite frequently on any information on the 4.3 android update (sony released it and just had to wait until o2 did their thing :-/) any-ways - couldn't find any information on an eta for it and then yesterday out of the blue an OTA update came through
went from 4.1.2 to 4.3 - UI has changed, some new features - feels like a new phone - well it feels like a new phone now, felt like a brick after the initial update.
When the update installed I went to the about phone page and tried to take a screen shot (was going to sent it to a mate as I'd been talking about the 4.3 update the previous weekend), took a minute to find out cough*google*cough how to take a screen shot as they'd changed it from the previous version (I just had to hold in the power/lock button and it would load up a menu with functions I could use, one being screen shot - whereas now its hold power and down
), but encountered my first bug - unable to save screen-shot as memory may already be in use, restarted phone and same issue - okay I think, not a deal breaker and I'l have a look for a fix later, then I tried to view my images on the widget as they didn't seem to load - and encountered a second error - "Unfortunately, the process android.process.media has stopped." - click okay and it would pop up again and again and again - had to restart my phone to get rid of this - and it happened every-time I tried to access my memory, had a look around and found a few solutions - clear cache, disable and enable download manager and a few others, nothing worked and this process kept failing - getting fed up I decided to do a clean install (btw after a few attempts I removed my micro-sd card and still got the same problem), sd card was removed and this thankfully had almost all my data on it - only a few photos on my phone- I was also unable to connect to my pc as every-time I did the process.android.media would stop working - so wouldn't show up on the pc, decided to bite the bullet and reinstall - learn to back up in the future.
The phone came as stock with ICS but the restore to factory defaults somehow restored itself to 4.3? Wasn't expecting this - thought it would have reverted to ICS. It also didn't delete the photos that were stored on the phone itself (only about 6-7 so I thankfully wasn't going to lose much but had expected them to be deleted all the same), alls working fine now thankfully and as I said early on it feels like getting a new phone lol Lesson learned I guess - keep a bloody backup - I had one ages ago but lost it just after christmas when I go an SSD and fresh installed windows - was meant to back it up again but never got around to it....as always eh,
thanks for reading and feel free to comment
