topic Unnecessary Application Updates in XZ Series

Unnecessary Application Updates

KJB01 — Mon, 23 Dec 2019 13:48:09 GMT

It's a shame that Sony pushes 'Unnecessary Application Updates'. For example - I own an Xperia XZ1 Compact, SONY NEWS SUITE is NOT on my 'phone. Yet Sony think it right to send updates for this application. This is crazy 🤪. It would be best not to do such things. I wouldn't mind if it were ACTUALLY ON my' phone. Unprofessional. Still, have to laugh 😂. No more Sony Xperia coming my way.

I fully agree with you KJB01.

I wanted all Sony bloodware deleted of my Xperia XZ1 Compact because I don't use them. That is not possible. Also I asked about the software loaded on my laptop from Sony in order to communicate with the phone by wire. Can this be deleted and removed? Updates (security) are coming over the air and upgrades we don't get anymore! The Sony answer was that he didn't know what I meant!?!

Here a list of app's from Sony on the device XZ1c:

Support

Thema-effects

Thema's

What's New (is not updated anymore but not removable!?!)

Xperia Assist

Xperia Config. Cloud

Xperia Home

Xperia Intellig. Engine

Xperia Services

Xperia Loops

Xperia Lounge

Xperia Lounge Pass

Xperia Transfer Mobile

and a page full of other apps starting:

com.Sonymobile......... -> Total 14 apps

com.Sonyericsson.crashmonitor

Sony Configuration Extension

Sony Auto Installs config. apk2.0

Retail DEMO (?!)

Wearablebridge.ApplicationProcessReference

And on my laptop I've running:

Sony Mobile Software Update Drivers 3.2.0.3 - 16/12/2018

Sony Mobile Update Engine 2.18.15.201811261617 - 9/4/2019

Xperia Companion 2.4.3.0 - 9/4/2019

I'm furthermore come to the conclusion that the size of 4,6" for a smartphone is now a days to small for the most apps. They are made for sizes starting 5,5" but 6" or more is better. I'm waiting for the Microsoft Duo and than I take a dual SIM.
