My Xperia Arc LT15a is useless - can anyone help

Phone was slow and had no memory - did factory reset and now I can not download even one app as it tells me " my device is not compatiable with this version" or I get an error code "101".  Preloaded apps that I don't even really want keep trying to update giving error messages that there is "insufficient storage avaliable".

I might as well go by an outdated phone for $49.99 as it will do the same functions as the LT15a now! 

Anyone have any advice on how to "restore" or fix it ?

keep in mind that app developers had gotten lazy, and now the apps/games are unnecessary heavy, which older Androids will have a hard time

Hi 

See if software repair helps.

Perform a backup of everything as all the data on your phone (except SD card's) would be lost

Update / Repair your phone's software via PC Companion.
Download PC Companion and install it. Do not connect the phone to your computer unless you're asked to do so.

Launch PC Companion > Start Support Zone > Start Phone/ Tablet Software update > Select 
"Repair my Phone/ Tablet" > Follow the on-screen instructions it shows. 

EDIT: Dayum. I had this thread opened along with several others and I replied to this after 20 minutes.

Please follow uli's post above. Nauseated_Face
