I was going to buy an Xperia S, but as i opened the development thread, i was shocked to see that there were only 3-4 custom Roms and only 2 were the ones which get constantly updated...?
SXS is sony flagship device, it should have got so many custom Roms till date, but it isn't really the case..
Can anyone explain why ?

Sale is almost a direct corrilation of amount of custom roms. Xperias aren't selling well.

i never got a fully working CM9/7 on my previous xperias including arc, neo and ray !
Even till date stable AOSP rom has not arrived for them, but atleast stock based rom's are there
And xperia NXT family has nothing yet !

After the launch of xperia S, for next 20-30 days, xperia S was on rank 1
Even in Xperia Arc S forums, many people voted for xperia S...

Figured we should have an official JB thread on this forum.
Till now there has been no word from Sony on Jelly Bean for our devices. Your thoughts ?
Please read this before posting stuff unrelated to topic:

I think that JB is not comming this year, since Sony just recently released ICS, and not for all devices yet (mine, Xperia U, will come only on September)... So only on 2013... Sad though.
Sony may suprise us.

Indeed. It's really down to device drivers. Now Sony are using their own inhouse stuff, (Thor chipset), it may happen quicker. Also ICS is not that different from Jellybean (unlike Gingerbread -> ICS).
I would say it's a safe bet to see ICS on at least the Xperia S before the end of the year.
Even more-so given Sony's intent to up their game in the mobile market. If they truely want to be king of the hill, they need great hardware (which I believe they are now doing), AND great software delivered on time. (still W.I.P)

Nah..
Sony had corrected that. 2011 Xperia does get JB, atleast some selected devices(like Arc S for example).
I too think that JB won't surface, officially, this year.

The nexus 7 is a tablet. You can't make calls and send texts messages from it. It has no 3g capability.

I have bought XMP in April 2012 with great hope. I have used SE K550i for 6 years without any trouble and that's why I chose XMP as my first smartphone. I have waited for the ICS update with great expectations that it will empower my XMP to the full potential. But Sony disheartened me, like most of the people out there with a 2011 xperia device.
Then I thought that they are going to make things better by providing us with a buttery-smooth JB release, since 2011 xperia devices are only 1 year old at the time of announcing the JB by Google. But today I learned that we will not be getting the JB update. This is a bad move from Sony. They may not realize this but consumers these days are smart and well-informed. I bet all the 2012 xperia users are happy now, but soon they will realize that their smartphones will be as cramped as the 2011 xperias with ICS update. Also, they will be rejected just like us after only a year (or even less) from now. Moreover, as I understand form their official announcement on this matter, even Xperia U won't get the JB update (they have excluded this name from their list).
However, I will wait for Kamarush for the JellyXProject he promised.

Yes I think Apple's support is really good, but if you see a nexus phone it's the same. I mean the nexus s got the jelly bean update :good:
Guys, this is nothing new. The previous line of Xperias (X8, X10 mini + pro,...) were stuck on android 2.1 from sony. There was no official support from CyanogenMod, FXP moved to newer line of phones, yet the comunity keeps the development on and there are already CM10 ROMs. I had X8 and hated Sony for this. Now i have mini pro and I don't care about Sony, they gave us great hardware for great price. People there will keep it comming, just show some support to the devs, send them few bucks, at least for a beer, just to show appreciation.
Don' t worry guys we have XDA so we have no problem we will have jB and key lime pie sooner or later... cheers to DEVs! :good:

As we know Sony has decided not to upgrade to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean Xperia U and Sola. It included, however, in the list Xperia J (which has a much lower hardware) and the Go (that has a hardware identical to the two above). We do not agree, it is not right.More we are, better it is: we sign this petition!!!
Linnk sign: http://www.activism.com/it_IT/petizione/vogliamo-jelly-bean-per-xperia-u-e-sole/41354
I read this too and i dont think that they can let behing two devices such as U and Sola with less than a few months and the same hardware as the ones that are getting the new upgrade next year. I was thinking in sonyericsson xperia play that was decided that ICS wont be upgrated on this device and a few months sony realease a beta of it, but in that casa was because the playstation device popularity was on it. I don´t think this will be the case with xperia U & Sola.
Can any one tell me if It is going to be possible install the upgrade to Jelly Bean from Xperia P or Go to the Xperia U & Sola??
Guys, I think that Blogger is lost in drugs, because if Sony ever release jelly bean for p and go, they definitely will release for u and sola because all four shares the same riogrande code. Even if they don't want to make official, we can make it work it with source code.

I'm not an owner of any of those phones,I own a 2011 series device,but i know how you feel,they said the same lie about 2011 line,and then,they announced that ****ty Xperia E phone,2010 spec'd which will come with Jellybean. This is the global petition (in english) for upgrading your phones to Jellybean. http://www.gopetition.com/petitions/jellybean-update-for-xperia-u-and-xperia-sola.html
I signed the global one, the other one is in italian.
Sony seems not interested in porting jelly bean for U and Sola, its silly they cant make it work on these phones - this ROM is made by google for every phone.
"Sony Mobile We are sorry about this inconvenience.
The quality of Xperia’s software experience is dependent on a number of factors including: screen resolution, hardware platform and RAM. In the case of Xperia go, this combination came together in a way that meant the user experience running JB was not adversely affected.
Unfortunately, in the case of Xperia tipo, Xperia miro , Xperia U and Xperia sola this wasn’t the case – so we made the decision to keep them on Ice Cream Sandwich.-Francis."
So,because of the phone resolution they can't upgrade it to JB...Hmm,i say that they should make phones only with 128x128 resolution,with that resolution,they surely can update to any version of Android.

Sony better get the bootloader unlock and allow it to get rooted easily has a last gift. :/
I mean really?, even CyanogenMod can create a better custom rom then Sony obviously.
Why is Sony doing this, it does not matter about the old hardware "not supported" excuse, it would work anyway, they just ether don't care about the S1 or they are just being plain lazy even though they gave a lot of updates to the device. o.o

It's no doubt that all the attentions of Sony are focused on the Xperia Tablet.
Well am i glad i have the xperia tablet s and not the non xperia.

Whilst it is disappointing not to get JB, it's not the end of the world
I've an HTC One X+ with JB and it's not that different. The Sony S hasn't lost anything, email still works, browsing still works, apps still work, it still plays music and video
I suspect the low sales of the S means that it's not cost effective to spend time developing and to be honest it really doesn't surprise me.
It is more disappointing that we can't yet install custom ROM's
BORING
Just release it already.
or better jet just unlock boot loader and allow root access, so we all can move on with our life instead of heaving to wait and hang on every word spoken by any boring lame Sony employe

Bugs in the system are not ICS/JB specific. They just need Sony to pull their finger out and sort.
As for more features, still not a convincing argument really. When the S came out it had HC which was good enough at the time so why would the tablet now not be good enough, especially since it's got ICS. I still say it does everything it did at launch.
Which features in JB would suddenly make the S 'that' much better.
Look, I'm not saying Sony is right not to add JB but I still maintain it's not that big a deal
