My apps will no longer update. Its gives different error codes. I cleared data and cache, I dismounted sd card and then I removed sd card. Still no joy. Only have the phone a few months. Can anyone help. Tia.

Yes I am finding the same problem, none of the apps are updating, I've had my phone over a year now

App udate issue

Hi, am having issues updating apps that are stored on external sd card. Get an error from app store 963. Only thing that helps is transferring app to intrrnal storage then update and transfer back again. Issue is new after update of software. It is quite annoying to do it like this. Anyone an idea how to resolve this?

@Forrest77 @Remco1 @Do9

Does your phone has enough free internal storage?

I put apps on external storage to save internal storage/memory. Everything was working fine, didnt download extra apps, until 2 months ago when I installed an update. Dont know if this was an android or sony update, thought the latter

@Remco1

So the apps that you can't update are the apps on the external storage?

Thank you for your reply. Yes it does have enough. I think I need to go and buy a better phone. I read that a lot of people have trouble.

@Forrest77

I'll look more into it but it might be an Android limitation

I think you could be right. Reading up on this phone it seems this happens so I will upgrade to a better more capable phone. I really appreciate your help.

@Forrest77

I'll escalate this but it's probably an Android limitation due to security
