Are you sure you don't already have the latest versions?

Yes, I am very sure.. For an example, the new apps have the menu colored, while mine is in black and white.

I also missed updates once, bat later found them under Update Center/"press three dots"/Manage updates. Check it.

Yeah, since the beginning of this week I have the same problem, cannot update any apps using Update Center. It says I have the latest version of everything even though I clearly don't as I had repaired my phone software which deletes all data and resets all apps version to factory...

So what would be the solution?? I don't feel that Sony is ever reliable in their services.. They should work on that instead of collecting money for high products only..
I tried to delete cache files on each app but still can't find the updates..

Same issue with me.

After repairing the phone using PC companion, I cannot get the update center to find the updates for the apps. Our only option is to ask someone with the updated files to pull the apks and upload it for us.

And we will not get it.. We all witnessed the poor customer service Sony has..

Guys just tested something. Tried to flash the old 17.1.1.A.0.402 firmware and it worked. The update center finds all the updates and the updates can be installed normally. Then I updated OTA to 17.1.2.A.0.314 and uninstalled Album app updates. Tried to update again and it doesn't work. So all I can say that the problem is with the newest firmware 17.1.2.A.0.314 which somehow prevents the Update Center from working properly. SONY I hope you read this and please forward this to developers ASAP so they can provide a proper fix.

I found the latest walkman app on Blackmart.. also a new version of Track ID.

but could not find the other apps.

I guess it is a problem in the new firmware .314 cause i managed to get updates on the old firmware but not on the new one.

it is just annoying!!!
