      • Hi, some user also reported that using several kind of theme will make trouble at their Android smartphone or tablet. Therefore we are not suggested download and use theme unless we really understand the problem could happen because theme are not compatible with the phone. This is happen with your Sony Xperia SP. If the damage make you can not go to the Setting Menu, then the solutions only doing hard reset or master format using hardware button or PC Companion using computer. For backup, because your phone can not work normally then you should try to connect your Sony Xperia SP using USB cable with Computer PC.

        When connected, hopefully your phone Notification status bar will show options to change USB connection into Mass Storage Device, if success then you can move any important data from Internal memory to your computer hard drive. But if you can not change the Notification status bar, then you have to let your data at internal memory go or erase or remove from your phone, but you still can safe your external card data by remove it from the phone before doing hard reset or master format.

    • Hi, if you still get problem, the very reasonable conditions to hard reset your Sony Xperia SP is using PC Companion, because we can start to connect the phone to computer when the phone OFF, so the effect from your downloaded theme will not work. We never use that theme, but as your experience that installing it will make your phone get problem, better to stay away and use other 3th party recommended launcher if you still need it, but we are suggest to use factory default theme and launcher will make it run normal without problem.

    • Hi, usually after doing reformat or reinstall or hard reset Sony Xperia SP, everything will work normally like new. The problem at your not working Google Play Store maybe because you have not signed-in correctly. If you sure you have already signed in then sometime we have to wait several minutes (less then 30 minute depend on the Internet connection) to wait Google Play Store update with the latest version automatically. This is happen because at old firmware source, your Sony Xperia SP still use old version of Google Play Store.
