[Q] Flash Messages/Cell Info Display Issue

---

I am using Xperia S with Idea Prepaid SIM. I am facing an annoying issue of cell broadcast and flash messages.

I called Idea cust care, and they said that i need to disable them on the phone. While there is no provision to do so in the phone.

I called Sony cust care and they said that i need to get them disabled by the operator.

These messages are really annoying and takes all the battery, it is like 10 messages in 5 seconds.

I am in India with 2.3.7 BUild 6.0.A.3.62.

PCC does not show any upgrade to .67/.73

Please let me know if there is a workaround/solution for this.

Grab a .73 firmware from the developer section and flash it via flashtool. No bootloader unlocking required, fast and simple.

Also, remember to uncheck wipe data :) or you lose your stuff.

Thanks...

Mine is just a day old phone and dnt want to play around with it It scares me , in case something goes wrong )

I have a couple of questions before i do so.

Will doing so VOID the warranty ?
Will i get the other official updates from Sony after doing so ?

Won't void anything. Even if you unlocked your bootloader it won't void it :). It just says 'may' which makes them not liable If you break it by overclocking.

But if you flash via flashtool, What will happen, is your phones fingerprint will change so you will get the update from the region you flashed your .73 to I believe .I've been unlocked since I had the phone so I can't confirm it but I believe that will be the case (since im unlocked I can't receive official updates).

You can also still use pccompanion to repair and update.
