Kicking-off Ice Cream Sandwich software upgrade for 2011 Xperia smartphones - Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A

Hello everyone – a quick update,
Starting from today (13th April), we’re beginning the Sony software upgrade including the uplift to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich for our 2011 Xperia™ smartphones.
The software will initially be made available for Xperia arc S, Xperia neo V and Xperia ray for consumers in Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Finland and Norway. For the above models, the software rollout will continue over the next 4-6 weeks, becoming available in other global markets – we will update you here on the blog when additional markets can upgrade.
You’ll be able to see when the software kit (customized specific to your operator and handset) is ready on our support community; http://talk.sonymobile.com – please continue to check in if your kit is not yet listed, as it will be updated when new kits become available.
In order to upgrade your 2011 Xperia smartphone you will need to connect to a PC or Mac – please visit http://www.sonymobile.com/update and follow the instructions.
Following on, Xperia arc, Xperia PLAY, Xperia neo, Xperia mini, Xperia mini pro, Xperia pro, Xperia active and Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman will receive their scoop starting from the end of May/early June*.

Hopefully we get a taste of the ICS on our phones in a much earlier time...

[Q] Sony Ericsson Xperia mini pro - Andriod 2.1 or 2.2

Hi,
Any one cracked andriod 2.1 or 2.2 for Sony Ericsson Xperia mini pro...?
Nope don't think so. I think this forum would be the first place it'd be posted
2.1 is officially near, suspected in the next few weeks according to Sony Ericcson Russia, which have tweeted (Translated into English) - Android 2.1 Xperia update is close.
They then later tweeted - much closer than you think.
This means it is expected to be released towards the end of Q3, and that there should not be any delays.
Note: I got this from the xperia x10 blog, which is keeping me up to date at the moment.
Sorry it's so late guys.
TS
Just stumbled upon this thread...i KNOW it's old, but I had to mention for any future stumblers: The original poster GOT THE NAME WRONG.
He meant the xperia X10 mini/mini pro.
there is a new SE phone out called the Xperia Mini/Mini Pro (no X10 in there).
so, although it is retarded naming by Sony Ericsson, make sure that you are not here looking for Xperia Mini Pro stuff, but rather, Xperia X10 Mini Pro.

X8, X10 mini and X10 mini pro...official GB on the way

This was posted by Rikard in his blog...check out the comments section on the blog in the post named We’re Co-sponsoring 500Gs, Glu Game Dev Competition..this is what he writes...
Hello guys we are very sorry for not updating you, our beloved customers. Our developers finalize that on june 15, 2011 the expected Gingerbread update will be out. After this update our developers will focus on other models such as x8, mini and mini pro to be updated on 2.3

Hi all,
Removed a fake comment.. Like Shaggy said: It wasn’t me..
Sorry for keeping you waiting – I hear you! Unfortunately as I said in the post around Facebook inside Xperia a while ago I’m still waiting for the final details on scope to be able to get a more detailed post out on Xperia X10 Gingerbread. Will take a while longer before it’s all final but not more than a few weeks tops. Timeplan for the actual update being released is still around the shift from Q2 to Q3, i.e. end of June or July timeframe.
Should really just delete this thread, since it's a known fact that the x10 will get an update, and the only relevant part turned out to be false, this just makes people get their hopes up for no reason.
Damn, for 1 minute I dreamed with that.
hi read this & understand what they say
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/2011/03/25/update-on-xperia™-x10/
Will you upgrade the XperiaTM X10 mini, mini pro and XperiaTM X8 to 2.3?No, we have no such plans. We have had to prioritize our resources and have therefore focused on delivering the upgrade to XperiaTM X10.

[Q] 3D sweep Panorama for Xperia Neo and not NEo V

Hi all , I am saran from India ,
I joined this forum long back and have been studying things about android there , but this is my first post , Its a real honour to be a part of XDA ,
I would like to thank every genius who knows about android for sharing their knowledge here so that guys like me get to know something atleast , much delighted really ,
Now to my question ,
I have a HTC Wildfire , its my first android phone . But today I bought a new Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo . I bought it through a SE outlet in southern part of India . In EBay india they bring up a deal every day at 11 A.M . Today's deal was a SE Neo V for like 16000 INR, He called me and said they had the offer put in E-Bay and I was like WTF coz I bought this fone for 17500 INR ,
Wen I went through the description of the fone it had only 5 MP Camera but mine is 8 MP . Then I got a sign of relief . But again there was some feature like 3d Sweep panorama , but that is missing in my phone . I tried to find out wer it is like for the past 6 hours , but still no Luck ,
So out of hope I make this post here , Can anyone help me find it or my fone doesnt have it at all is it
Thanks ,
Saran
P.S. I don't know wer to post , If the mods or any admin panel gonna remove the post , please notify me through mail before doing it and please advice me wer to address my query .
The 3D sweep panorama for the Xperia Neo, will be available in the current update, it might be that it's not available yet in India. Just wait a few weeks, and you will be able to update and get the 3D sweep panorama function.
Check out settings > about phone
You'll probably have android version 2.3.3, the update makes it 2.3.4.
If you don't won't to wait, you can update via XDA.

To update via XDA, not the official Sony Ericsson update, but still stock ROM, follow this guide, till step 4.
Hi,
Thanks for the reply , My Phone says 2.3.3 , What you are trying to say is wen it is updated to 2.3.4 only I can use the feature is it ??
You can try to install it on 2.3.3, but I doubt whether it works.
I'll upload it within 10 minutes or so, stay tuned.

Hi, I Installed it , but now the camera itself doesn't open, When I select Camera it becomes a black screen , then I have to click home button and come back, Any Idea :-o
You will have to wait,
I rooted my neo and even installed that apk(2.3.4) into rom itself, but my previous apk got deleted and i'm forced to use LG camera as alternate..
Please someone help by giving me a camera apk for 2.3.3 FW 4.0.A.368
Sent from my MT15i using XDA App
i try it on my current 2.3.3 but didn't work. not sure why. currently im using Doom kernel and i rooted my phone with Wotan Server.
anyone can help?
It wont work on 2.3.3 coz of changes in framework...
Open the development section and checkout instructions to install 2.3.4....
Also
Dont hesitate to unlock the bootloader coz warranty from se is just an "LOL"(very bad customer service)
Sent from my MT15i using XDA App
So if i flash it with Cyanogenmod 7.1, will the sweep panaroma feature still be available?
you should try Wotan server
first register in the website then download the program and after identifying the phone select advanced ... our device is called mt15i and choose 2.3.4
this method doesn't need root or opening boot loader.
i have successfully updated my phone to 2.3.4 then downgraded to 2.3.3
but never ever downgrade to 2.3.2 or you will loose your phone.
if you face any problem please contact me.
Hi. I'm from the Philippines, and I am a Xperia Neo V user.
As for your concern, Xperia Neo and Neo V are both 2011 smartphones introduced by Sony Ericsson, Xperia Neo V or MT11i is the successor of Xperia Neo. Now, the difference between these two smartphones is that first, Xperia Neo has an 8 Megapixel Camera compare to Xperia Neo V with just a 5 Megapixel Camera, the reason for this is that the company has an issue with the megapixel market (which I read mostly on some blogs). Second, as for their android OS version, I believe that these two has the same 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) version, I dont know with your country why your phone has only 2.3.3, but you can update it though. Third, Xperia Neo V is powered by Mobile Bravia Reality Display bringing its pictures and videos to a more level when it comes to quality. Neo V is also the first smartphone to have a facebook inside Xperia upgrade benefit. Fourth, Xperia Neo V is the only one to have a feature of 3d Sweep Panorama, in which the Xperia Neo has not.
To top all this, both of them are amazing phones to have.
I also read it on some news that Sony Ericsson will release an update so that the 2011 smartphones will have the 3d Sweep Panorama feature. So just update yourself to this updates. And by the way, android will release its OS version 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) Update this March-April. Its an update that most android phone users are looking forward to..
Thank You.. ^_^

No offense, but this thread is three months old, by which time the threadstarter would most probably have received the said update. Anyway, to some corrections: the Neo is not without the Bravia Engine, as you may have meant. Also, the Facebook inside Xperia has been available to the 2011 Xperia phones since around July last year, around three months before the Neo V was launched. And yeah, all it takes is a simple update via PC Companion to get the 3D Sweep Panorama to the Neo (2.3.4 update). Again, no offense meant in my post, I just want to help clear out the facts.
Have a nice evening, buddy.
well i m just dying to get my hands on my Neo.. waiting for the shipment .....................
i just want to ask one thing..!! why people dont use PCC or SEUS for the updates.. !! and rely on Wotan or Flashtool !!
Xperia neo 2.3.3
its work for me thanks!:good:
