Preloaded Apps

CanonHussey — Mon, 17 Aug 2015 00:49:46 GMT

I had a preloaded app on my Z3 which gave me alerts for earthquakes tornadoes etc. I can't remember what it was called & now I've removed it. Please could someone remind me what it's called. TIA

@CanonHussey

Perhaps it was the News & Weather widget

long press anywhere on the screen > widgets > news & weather, if you can't find it then

settings > apps > all > scroll to the bottom > see if the app is there > tap on it > enable

@uliwooly thanks for replying so quickly. It isn't the news & weather app. I think it's called Geo something. Thanks again

Hi CanonHussey,

Welcome to the community,

I can't say I have seen this app on any of my devices, this could possibly be an app based on your region, I would suggest giving Sony Mobile within your region a call, they would better understand what you may have on the device by default.

Use my signature to find contact details.

There's an app called Storm 24/7 by StormGeo but it's not a Sony app

@CanonHussey

If it was a preloaded app you could repair the phone with PCC, it should restore the preloaded apps

I don't think it's worth it

PC Companion (PCC)

Bridge (for Mac)
