I have a unbranded Xperia S from an employee at Sony here in the US. Just got the OTA notification to update to .67
After the update the touch screen feels so much smoother and the capacitive buttons also feel more responsive.
I know the customization number is the same as the Sweden generic one so they should see the update as well.
Haven't noticed any other changes.

Hi Spectre51!
You don't feel like make a backup of your firmware? I was stupid not to do a backup of mine before flashing it with another firmware...:/ A build.prop would be pretty good if you don't feel like doin' a backup. I had the swedish generic before..

I can get you the build.prop easily enough. What would the commands be to backup the firmware?
When you update through the computer, the files are stored on the hdd in a folder called "blob_fs" I think.

If you would be so kind to send me the build.prop...thx
I used Bridge for Mac....I tried looking for where it might have downloaded the update to but couldn't find it. Here is the build.prop though.

I was just wondering if there are any downsides to updating with the nordic method. theres no word yet from rogers about an update yet and I don't really want to wait.
I'm on Rogers and I'm using that firmware. No problems or issues.

Same!!! Its been perfect for me. Im extremely happy with 2.1
Sent from my X10i using XDA App
Cool thanks, I might give it a try then
I am on Rogers as well, it's great but I noticed today that I can not do a file transfer over bluetooth like I could with 1.6...can do audio but that's it.
I would suggest maby go for the WORLD GENERIC it seems more stable than the NORDIC maby its just me but after trying the NORDIC when it first came out the WORLD GENERIC seems to be a bit better
note im not on ROGERS Im on VODA in the UK but if your going to do the update try it and see which is best
remember to backup first as much as you can (root your 1.6 and use Titanium backup to backup your apps and data)

apart from extra bloatware ,and a potential '0% battery' problem , i dont think there should be any differences. (if ur phone is natively R8OOi )

Whoops, looks like I missed this topic and replied to another one instead. I'll repost here because it's more appropriate to this thread.
This release is the second release of the 2.3.4 firmware, right? I ask because I installed the Generic UK 2.3.3 firmware to my Google I/O R800a months ago and received the second 2.3.3 OTA update bringing it up to 4.0.A.2.368 about a month before the version for the North American R800a dropped. By all indications at the time, the UK firmware was getting updates out way faster.
But now this has been released and I still haven't seen anything come up for OTA or through PC Companion or SEUS. It makes me wonder if I should just flash back to the Generic North American R800a ROM with this.
Any suggestions/recommendations? Thanks!
Weird. When I plug my phone into my computer PC Companion tells me there is an update for my phone (the version that this thread is about). If I search for software update in the phone it says I am up to date. I'm on 2.3.4 now (4.0.1.A.0.283) which I believe is the UK generic version.
The .283 is the Nordic 2.3.4

There are no real differences except some different bloat apps and it will just say r800a in your about phone settings

So I've been loving this FW to death... except for one aspect.
BLOATWARE IS OFF THE ****ING CHARTS!
As if all the other expected stuff wasn't enough, now they're forcing Google Books, Video Unlimited, like 3 different "Get Games" things, LiveWare, a bunch of Facebook integrated stuff, OfficeSuite and PlayNow... and versions of Flash/Facebook/Youtube that can't be removed or moved to SD... holy ****.
Madden, Star Batallion, FIFA and Bruce Lee are also being forced... but I don't mind that much. I like all those games (still wouldn't mind having the option to move that stuff to SD).
The most annoying part is that if I uncheck Automatic Updates, it'll just re-check themselves and slam all those updates on my phone storage when I'm sleeping or something. That's pretty high up there on the "**** move"-o-meter.
Even still though... this ROM has been amazing... like 250MB free natively... 720p recording, xLoud... screen caps... but if someone could modify this ROM and kill off all that crap, I'd be in heaven.

lol I found out about the zergRush method roughly two minutes after I posted that bloatware rant.
Happily rooted, and about to tweak some things to perfection. I don't necessarily want to kill off all the bloatware... I just want it off my goddamn phone storage
IIRC, I can just go straight into the system/app folder and every apk I delete from there uninstalls the app, right? I've been on stock 2.3.3 so long I've forgotten.
Do you need an unlocked bootloader for this, or can you use it if the bootloader is still locked?

I'd like to know that as well. Trying to learn what I can/can't do with this phone compared to the other android phones I've had. Gotta figure out how to use built in tether without a tethering plan next.

Despite the fact that I'm an AT&T user in the US, several apps now have used pound instead of dollars. So far my USAA and Redlaser apps have done this. Any idea on how to switch them to US currencies? I've tried within the apps with no luck so it's definitely a phone not app issue.

Yeah there is no firmware for American users so the next best thing is open Europe which is what I use. And your dialer lists a favourites option? I don't understand what you mean by that. My dialer has a favourites option too? Please post screen shot of this issue?.....

Ok - I'm on board to try open Europe. But I thought the rom decided the firmware? If I want to use open Europe would I have to install the stock version of that? I was just mention favourites as that's the European spelling of the word. I'm more concerned about the currency issue though.
I attached a screenshot of what I'm running

Hi,
I have an XPeria U, which I've noticed is pretty laggy. This isn't the future I was promised. I was promised a robot butler by 2013 and instead I have a phone that takes longer to pull up a contacts list than it does to open a notebook and turn to the page with the persons name on it.
I bought this phone unbranded, but there still seems to be a lot of bloatware on it, courtesy of SE.
Is it worth flashing with something that hopefully doesn't come with *checks phone* music unlimited, video unlimited, recommender etc
Or is it just a laggy phone?

Flashing can make it faster than stock ICS (ive found nice jb and ics roms). Still be prepared to spend a lot of time testing roms. The ram is a big bummer.

It's weird, I know some people on unbranded in UK got the update about a month ago. Mines actually with O2 but I'd flashed unbranded 290.

I know. Been looking for the update daily for about a week now. Nothing.
I dont really mind though.......I have an occasional wifi drop out on 290 but nothing else serious. Also with my ZU I have held back on root/unlocking bootloader just because............it kinda does everything well without root! I remember a video by Adrian that eventually android would get to such a stage that root wouldn't be needed anymore (apart from customization). Maybe we are seeing the first step of that with sonys firmware? Obviously touchwiz, sense etc are different but Sony is pretty close to stock.

Same here, rooting disables my banking app so reverted to stock but actually I'm very happy with stock. Touchwizz just Sucks balls full stop, you have to root.
