thats the only reason why its delayed ;-)
update for NEO was also delayed and got 4.0.4 instead of 4.0.3....
Gesendet von meinem LT22i

Yeah, I'm pretty sure we'll get it by the end of the year.
I hope Sony doesn't further delay ICS (it was supposed to be released by now per Sony's schedule, but delayed for the end of July) because of JB, I want 4.x ASAP.

i hope sony skips ics and gives us JB instead the offline voice messaging feature is awesome

they cant afford to miss ics i would suggeest as the phone has so many problems in its current state i.e software bugs and call/network dropping. If they dont sort these quickly then nobody will care about jellybean as they will have got rid of the phone by the time that happens. Im on the verge of this now...at the end of the day it has to function as a reliable phone and at the moment its not.

It most certainly is on it's most current released firmware, B.1.564. You can downgrade back to it, B.3.162 was pulled and you should not be using it.

so what am i missing here then?
so they brought the phone out, then released an update for it to solve what?....and then realised that actually it created more problems than it solved and then pulled it?.....where have they then come out and said that you should roll back and put the original firmware back on it?
seems to be very few forums for the xperia p anywhere so ive not come across much information about how this problem is being fixed. Would appreciate any links or info you have though as i really want to give this phone a chance but its being let down terribly at the moment.

Already explained here. I suggest reading the stickies in order to familiarize yourself with Flashtool and for other useful information regarding the NXT line.

yes you gave me the link etc in the xperia p thread which i thanked you for however my question was around the fact that having released a firmware (.62) in a bid i assume to correct some problems it seems that it actually created more than it solved. You have recommended that i roll back to the earlier build that i have not actually ever had as the phone updated itself within a few mins of having it. I am willing to roll back if you feel this will make the phone more reliabe as a phone however i was interested to know where it had been said by sony that we should do this or where the general discusion on here was about it.

what ever we get we get it quick and bug free i heard xperia p has alot of bugs in gingerbread

Exactly my point which is why they can't afford to wait until the end of the year. They need to sort it and sort it fast, don't think there has been one solid phone in the xperia range released yet. All have so much potential, fantastic hardware and then ruined by shoddy software.

You're definitely getting it sooner or later.

I'm guessing ICS in late July or early August, and JB somewhere in Q4 2012.
Though the sooner we get ICS and Sony releases it's kernel sources, the better... I'd like to see some custom ROMs floating around, especially FreeXperia's CM for the P.

ICS is on the way right now as we've seen with the Xperia S and other handsets. As for Jellybean, you'll be looking later in the year, if not in the new year. Well, I suspect.

Compared to the SGS2, the P is actually in a little lower range. The S is about the same.

[Q] Android 4.0 Custom ROMs?

Hi there,
as i was reading about the release of the Android 4.0 source code i´m asking myself how long will it take until we have a custom ROM based on android 4.0!
Are some crews already working on it?
Please give me a feedback when you can!
we will get the roms when we get the roms. CM9 should be out soon now that they have the code, which they said they needed to start production, so possibly when we have that, our devs can start punching out some roms. also, in the ICS thinktank on the development page and for example the nexus s forum, they are working on the touchscreen drivers so that they can test more components of the rom.
just be patient
seems to be a lot of time until we have some roms. also Z isnt around anymore.
dunno how to deal with touchscreen drivers for the nexus s! why are they important for a X10 rom? touchscreen is already working isnt it?
as Sony Ericsson is an official member of CyanogenMod now, im woundering that there is NO build for the X10i...........
Curios isnt it?

Official CM support has stopped for the X8 and X10mini/mini pro, since 2.3.7 is the best thing that those phones can handle...and the aftermarket support for X10 would end soon I believe, maybe right after the stable mod comes out.

The FXP is the official one? Seriously?
The FXP Rom is far away from being stable enough for daily use. Weekly updates and not even finish sources for all parts.......
They are working for a long time on this ROM already and ey..... dont get it wrong.... i´m dontating ALWAYS when using a custom Rom as my daily one.....
....but in last time i lost my faith........
Z gone away! He was the mega-brain behind many progresses........
Dunno what we have to expect in the future!
Will the FXP team finish there work sometime?
As far as i know the FXP CM7 is NOT based on Android 4.0. Its base on? 2.3.4? I dont know........
I was getting an eye on the Galaxy Nexus but it is soooooooo expensive .......
going to stay on my X10

When all the bugs are gone, it will be released as stable.
Go join the bug hunt if you want it faster...
It's highly unlikely that we will ever get a fully stable Android 4.0 rom, for the reasons listed elsewhere in these fora. We may get ports, but they will take time, and lots of it.
Be patient and don't ask for ETAs.

It's not based on anything, they are literally making a rom with sources that they are writing. That's why it took ages compared to other ported roms.

Actually the rom is very stable for daily use with very minor bugs that they are working on. if you have lost faith in a device that is 2 years old with no support now from SE heres some advice, get a new phone! but for the rest of us who enjoy having such a great array of developers that very capable of bringing us support when we need it. Yes Z has done alot for the X10, but dont forget other devs and dont just focus on one.
First rule of CM7: Dont ask for an ETA! you must be patient like with anything. If google and samsung released ICS earlier, imagine what we would be missing.
Well clearly CM7 isnt based on 4.0, cos the source code has only been released to us. you cant expect every dev to be up day and night sitting at there pc waiting for the code, they are real people with real lifes.
Well if your going to stay with the X10, please for the love of god, stop complaining about how we havent got ICS roms yet when no other devices has a nearly stable one yet.

at first: I did not ask for a release date of a ROM!
this thread is meant to discuss about what we have and can expect in the future for our X10. Its not made to complain about ppl or the devs. It´s meant to get the facts cleary for everyone.
STOP RAGING IN THIS THREAD!
So about the android 4.0 storry: Sony will spend an Android 4.0 update for the X10 ARC! The normal X10 isnt that far away ........... but still such a big prob to port it?
There will be alot devices which get a stock update to ICS and they will be stable.
The point i dont understand is why devs are working that hard on a mod which is already outdated..........
Ofc they try to re-create android with there own source codes but ey.......... you seriously thinking about writing your own operating system for a mobile phone?
Android have been founded by high skilled (and highly paid) informatics guys hired by google! I guess 50% of our devs are <18 years and not even skilled in programming. Don´t get this wrong now..... i dont want to blame you guys! But why do you think we can write a new firmware..............?
Maybe you running behind the wrong goals ............
For me the crew should focus on Android 4.0. Thats the only ROM ppl want to have now. And ey yeah it would be awesome to have ICS on my 2 years old X10!

First, it's quite hard to port 4.0 onto our X10 since we have a really old kernel (.29), not to mention whether our hardware can handle that or not...
Second, the FXP team's goal is to get the X10 up to CM specs so that we can have as much official CM support as we want until the newest android versions become too much for the X10 to handle.
And don't even try to say that most of the devs here are below eighteen, because most of them aren't and have a proper job. If you are looking for child labour to develop your device you're at the wrong forum.

What we have: an almost stable CM7 ROM.
What we can expect for the future: a fully stable CM7 ROM.
What we -might- get: an ICS ROM that probably won't ever be stable.
By the way, what is an X10 ARC? Never heard of that device before.
Assuming that you mean the Arc, there are huge differences between the X10 and the Arc. It will probably not even be practical to try and port ICS from it.
The devs are working on "outdated" CM7 because it is most likely to become fully stable after some work. If they start working on ICS now, they won't have a fully stable CM7 ROM to help them. CM9, based on ICS, isn't even released yet, so do elaborate on what you meant when you said the mod they were working on was outdated. There isn't even any phones with ICS yet...
By describing the devs as under 18s with little coding experience you are actually being extremely naive and disrespectful. Go have a chat with aZuZu or DooMLord about kernels, you'll see what I mean. I don't know if that's what you were intending, but you sound quite rude.
Building a working, let alone stable, ICS ROM, or any ROM for that matter, is not easy. It takes time to build, test, find bugs and iron them out.
Also, for your information, a handful of devs are already working on an ICS port alongside their current projects. Have a quick look in the dev section.
I hope you see my point now.

Xperia S - Android Jelly Bean

Just and open discussion.
Do you guys se any possibility for us to receive update to Android Jelly Bean??
[EDIT] 06/28
Including informations about ROM Android Jelly Bean available for Samsung Nexus, now we can start trending informations to have Jelly Bean available for our Sony Xperia S as soon as possible.
For those who work/knows android development, please join us.
Google Stock ROM Jelly Bean can be found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737849
This link is not for Sony Xperia S, please don´t try to install in your Sony Device.
[end EDIT]
I hope so, I think we have the hardware
I would think so. The hardware is enough compared to the confirmed JB devices. Hopefully Sony will be a little faster with JB than ICS.
Dare we hope for a late Q4 release?

i really dont care.....because even if the sony refused to give update for jellybean, our xda developers are there to help us!!! With lot of hard work and programming skills, if they can put ICS in a device like xperia x8, then i think its not a big deal for them to port JB for our device !!! :good:
Ill start thinking of JB once Sony brings us a smooth ICS without bugs.
Once that is in order, ill start to look at JB and what that could bring. Ill not mess up my mind with something 12 months into the future, but rather wait for ICS and a fix.
Yes On Behalf Of Google, Its Possible
BUT
Where The Company Is SONY We Are Talking About
Then Its Unreliable
XPERIA PLAY WAS CANCELLED IN 2011 ICS UPDATE LIST
I will be cynical and say no. Sony released these phones with 2.3 so that they can easily upgrade you to ICS and then say "hey we have already provided you with one upgrade, as per Android manufacturer's standards we will only be providing one delayed update". If the phone had shipped with ICS (which it should have) then they would be obliged to update you to 4.1.
Oh Please !
Unknown13x already mentioned Xperia S will get the JB update. So stop whining all!

Well I only have an Xperia P so maybe I will not be as lucky (still waiting for ICS). Either way I wouldn't count on anything until you actually get an update notification. Having been an owner of a few HTC Android and Nokia Lumia devices you learn to only believe what you see and not what you read on forums (or even from official company press releases).
4.1 isn't as big of a jump as 2.3, so I have my fingers crossed.
^
P may be getting JB too. We will need to wait for unknown13x to comment on it though.
Or maybe it's like the X10: we get every second update. X10 started with 1.6, skipped 2.0, updated to 2.1, skipped 2.2, updated to 2.3.. So in our case with the xperia S: 2.3 + delayed but promised 4.0, skipping 4.1, updating to 4.2 (!?)^^
as I read JB should work like IOS ! smooth as butter ! Hope we will recive it sometimes(faster)
we will get it end of Q2 next year i bet haha
We're definitely getting all 4.x branch minor releases. It's coming when it's done, they should be able to do it earlier now that the PDK is out and it's a minor release so not many low level changes should be needed. I'm hoping we get kernel sources before AOSP drops so we should, hopefully, be all set to compile it the day it's out and move on to merging it with existing custom code bases such as AOKP and CM.
Ok, seems like these devices are getting it: S, P, AcroHD, SX and GX almost 100%, sola, U and go quite likely, ArcS might get it later but that's all speculation.

I have not received anything since the 28.5 firmware update a LONG time ago.
If JB is coming in the "coming months" as announced today.. who cares about some updates to ICS now. It's old news.
I care, because, I'd like to have a tablet I can use. Right now, it's pretty damned annoying.
Just like "months" is irritating. I'd get excited about early august.

Exactly. JB is great and all, but how about providing me with a decent, usable tablet first. It's been almost 8 friggin' months now.
so, rather than agressively work on the next latest OS, you want them to continue to dilly dally with ICS versus just getting on with it? it takes them months between ICS releases and the issues are not improving. Why not take months and get on with JB and making it happen.
not me. ICS, forget about it... lets get on to the next OS versus wasting time, resources, effort, on an ICS

Well first of all, hello all Prime users. I am relatively new to forum and checking this section because I recently purchased Infinity. I believe it may perhaps be two different things. ICS & JB are OS but they can potentially fix the issue based on the Kernel if so they probably should as there is probably a good chance they are going to use the kernel on JB. So what I mean is JB may show up but if they continue to use the same Kernel and if it is indeed the issue.... So yeah if these firmware update are referring to OS tuning then won't worth it but if it is Kernel, which they use for both JB & ICS then they should fix it on ICS before potentially introducing new issue with JB.
Nothing they do to IML74K 4.0.3 will solve the 201's problems.. just my opinion
If they push JB they better have an updated kernel.

I agree but no way to know for sure until Gary stops blowing smoke up our asses and actually posts new firmware that is if any actually exist.
For me I'd rather be testing new JB software with a 3.1.x kernel like the one on the Nexus 7 than dicking around with 4.0.3.
The thing is - they say "months". Which is how many, exactly, 3 or 5 or 7 ? And wouldn't it be a little bit unpleasant, if after 3 months of waiting we'd get same crashing crap, like 28 is ?
And damn I hate this secrecy. Honestly, waiting wouldn't be so much of a trouble if I knew what the problem is and what're the chances they're fixed in JB.
No-one would wait if it were for a TV, don't see how it's different for a tablet.

Based on the ASUS previous reputation/track record, which is now further strengthened by the fact they are the official Nexus maker for tablet, we will still see it before anybody else.
Developer Options Limit background processes
I would love to have JB and I keep coming back to the forums to see if there's any good news but never what I want to hear. I too would like to beta test any firmware that came down the pipe.... The one thing I have done and found it on another thread in here, Limit background processes to 4 in Developer Options. It has made all the difference to me on how the tablet runs. Its always quick and runs more like I had hoped. There's always a bunch of nonsense on why the tablet is terribly slow, but this has made me happy until JB comes out. I expect Asus to mess it up and continue to messing it up but when its all said and done I'm still pretty happy!

Thanks for your tip! I didn't know you can limit background processes =) my prime feels faster now.

Any news on the new version Gary announced on 16th July 2012?
It seems Gary is too busy dealing with the damage control over on the tf700 forum unfortunately. I think the Prime's are going to take a seat even further back(although I didn't know that was possible)
only info known on it so far from speaking to him.

It will address I/O issues. Could possibly have some JB features/components in it. This is likely the last ICS update before JB. Beta version for testing hasn't released yet because its not ready yet, or at least when I spoke to Gary few days ago.

Xperia neo the worst mobile ever!!

I dont know what is wrong with Sony, this is the worst mobile ever! always f...ing WI FI problems in every software, lot of bugs, slow very slow, no one can fix this ****! I root phone and in fast boot shows me that I need to root phone. I want to instal recovery but i cant get market working, wi fi lost every time i try to log in in market. This is terrible. SONY SHAME ON YOU MORONS!
why posting this to share you anger about sony, what we can do about it?
maybe its your router at home, there are enough fast roms, i using stock,locked bl rooted and all and supercharger and nthe newest stuff and my Neo V is flying fast, so i dont know why you post this, just call sony and tell it to them, and not to us we cant help if you get angry on Sony, just stay calm

Read something, maybe you will learn how to solve your problems.

@Gluove ... As far as I know...Sony is/was the only company that actively participated with the developers in bringing out a stable ICS versions...It mostly because of them that we have so many Roms flying around...choose any one of the top five Rom threads and install any one of them...I don't think you will have issues like you mentioned here..but then again looking at your frustrated post...i am sure you'll come back with even more problems than you have mentioned...lol...a bit mean here.. but then you did call Sony morons! To be fair to you, its quite possible that you got a faulty hardware on your phone..If you are still on the warranty period...replicate these problems and the Sony "morons" should help you out. However to voice your frustration and to deem the phone model and the company as worst...well my friend..you are pretty much alone there..:silly:

lol.. good one :good:
Yep instead of whinging do a repair with pcc or sues, if errors persist return to vendor. Simple.
Whereas running to a development community for the above device and proclaiming it ##### shows that quite clearly most of your issues begin before the touchscreen.
Also your previous posts imply that you've at least read about and possibly tried, tampering with your kernel and iemi number so no real surprises

i dont know what made the OP say that SONY is a bunch of [email protected]#$% or #$%^
i am using neo V since last November & it is pretty good for what its worth, try and ask HTC/Samsung to give you an upgrade, HDMI with a cable, Gold Plated point..... even today they are waiting for an ICS upgrade for a few of HTC models which were promised but never delivered....
my personal opinion of Sony,
i have a vaio notebook - using it for a few years, when there was some problem with the model globally - it was repaired for free
my PS2 & PS3 give me the gaming experience that i crave for
Sony Digicam, Walkman have all been good for me
i wont say much for the phone, the others here have already said enough
it may be like an off-topic since i mentioned about other Sony devices, but it is just not fair of a person who cannot accept what is available neither can tweak things to suit his needs to call names for a brand like Sony
SONY
make.believe :highfive: :victory:
Really man, what is wrong with you?
You just seem to do everything in a hurry and then mess it up and put all the blame on Sony!
As far as I know Sony is the most customer friendly mobile company!
Tell me something, which company rolled out their ICS updates on time.. No one! Only Sony did!
You should be at least happy with the fact that you are being provided with the official update from them!
As far Neo goes.. I don't see any other phone in this price range that can match up to the standards of Neo..
Rather than just bashing up the brand for no reason whatsoever, try to look out other posts in xda.. There are complete tutorials, from A- Z everything you need!
Search them!

Sony is late with thier update to ICS, but it doesn't matter, its have almost no bugs, look at samsung and htc, thier hurry with they ICS and its full of bugs, so who is worst?? Not Sony !!
Sony is a good product, i have a phone from Sony, a ps3 and a stereo, tv with bravia engine, so all what i have is from Sony, so please dont blaim Sony but yourself

Doesnt look like we will get latest android 4.3 for 2011 line up. The 2011 models are scratched by Sony. Only if few developers can port something for us.
If Xperia X8 got Jelly Bean running, I am sure some devs will port 4.3 onto our 2011 Xperias. Can't guarantee that it will work fast and be stable though.
1st of all, Android 4.3 is not even released yet. Even if it does get released, it will take maybe a few months before a developer actually succeeds at getting a working ROM.
Don't expect anything official from Sony.
sony are getting like Samsuck behavior-abandoned their old devices after making more new shining device..after all,xperia 2011 line are still in 'Ericsson'..hahah

This is a 2011 Xperia forum, so we are talking about 2011 Xperia devices, not 2015 ones.

4.3 should work well on 2011, 4.2.2 (pac man) is not laggy on my xmp.
Since 4.3 is even lighter than 4.2, I'll say it will still work well, better I hope
4.3 will be probably come with less feature such as radio and camera in 4.2.2
4.2 is still not stable for our device, don't think 4.3 will be better despite being lightweight.

not all is about performance and lightness, may new android dosent support some hw-codes from our oldschooldevices, aloso we must think on camera, it was a long way to get it good working on cm10.1..... there also other problems, u can only tell if u get it boot on our devices (even this is hard devolpment..) but lets hope the best

... like said this u now only when 4.3 gets booted on our devices (and use many, many logs ) and i dont think so, the camera leaked from 4.3 worked for me on 4.2.2 but only bug was u cant see wahat u shot ... (small compared to 4.12 & 4.2.2 problems)
it think 4.2.2 is really stable only think may is battery drain if u heavy user...

As of i know.... There will be a release of android 4.3 a.k.a CM 10.2 for our devices too..... coz I just saw a few videos where android 4.3 was installed in Galaxy Gio and galaxy SII
So Fingers crossed for the CM 10.2 to release for our devices as soon as possible
Chances are good. In first screenshots I saw that Android 4.3 is using kernel 3.4, the same as Legacy Xperia which is based on 4.2.2.
There is a chance that we may get Official CM10.2. :fingers-crossed:
Till then Mike is providing support for most of 2011 Xperias (LegacyXperia) :good:
Let sony release the JB camera drivers first. Then i will worry about android 4.2.

i was @ SONY EUROPE LTD. headquarters here in berlin and asked about the drivers
1. it was really hard to find somebody who i can ask about that,,after some discuss with 2 ppl and the security man they only gave me a appointment. (for other day)
2. i was there. there was an guy who maked a cigarette break, and he was quite an asshole (sry but its true.) he told me (in short) that i would be to much work to find these codes in sony bcuz our devices are old.
great sony. :thumbdown:

no wonder sony is going down... can't the people at sony search a little and provide us a fortune... i wish sony ericsson was still present
The facts is,
When Sony Ericsson turned into Sony, they spent plenty of money in development & production of new devices to make a fame in market; but kept the hardware same/old for successive devices. Now condition is, they have way too many devices to maintain & money to spend on software development & software distribution for all the devices manufactured so far. It's not economical for them to do so now but as we customers have spent our money into their devices, it's our right to ask for software updates. So now they are giving reasons only to avoid old customers.
Now 'Xperienced' customers avoid Sony.
