Hello All,
Sonyericsson Officially Confirmed Icream Sandvich Update for all sonyericsson xperia 2011 lineup including our xperia mini & mini pro.
Here is the official blog link:
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/produ...ich-for-sony-ericsson-2011-xperia™-portfolio/
cheers!!
I so didn't expect that! I picked this because I'd be able to change to a custom rom once Sony Ericsson left it behind.
I do want to try an overclock kernel soon though :S
Yes this is true. Se just tweeted this

I'll believe it when I see it in person!
A really great news!!! I want the update very much, SE please release it before 2012
That would be quite unlikely since they just released the 2.3.4 update.
Awesome. I gotta say that I wasn't really sure if the phones could support it, but I guess they can.
Love the way they've made the hardware pretty much the same across the Xperia line, so they can get updates out faster.
Do you think the hardware accelerated GUI in ICS will eliminate all stuttering on android phones -ours in particular?
I know it's not much on the Xperia line, especially the Mini, which I have, but if it can get rid of it all together, it'd be nice.
Good news I hope we'll have release dates soon.
wow! This what what we all waiting for. Hope it'll be released very soon!

which mini do you have? 2011 or the older one? i have the sk17i, and in my opinion, it is the smoothest experience i can get on a cheap phone like this. i wouldn't mind if sony is not porting the ics.

On a cheap phone like this? Its even smoother than any dual core phone ive ever tried, well, except for the S2. It never stutters or lags, even when im playing with my emulators
Mini has lag problem in the touchscreen.
I hope that they can solve it with 2.3.5. o ICS.

A Polish named mikegapinski is managed to port ICS to LG GT540 which has only 600 MHz processor.
I think xperia has much better hardware and could support ICS.

mmmm
It will come out in different period for any device.
Maybe Xperia ArC on Jenuary and Xperia Mini on March.
Guessing is pointless
I just hope they will fix the unlocked bootloader bug with updates. Looking forward on tasting that sandwich!

it doesnt matter when, January or March, the most important is fact that we will receive this update
cant wait for ICS & cm9
Hey guys....so yesterday the Pc companion app for xperia phones recieved an update ....and the good news is that now it shows "update phone/tablet"
This definitely means that now the app also supports tablets and we may even recieve jellybean through the PC companion.......
Who knows we may get the update this month...:good::good:
UPDATE:It seems the only tablet supported is the Xperia tablet Z
We are supposed to get the update this month. Although i think ours will be OTA.

Ok. It seems there is Xperia Tablet, but unfortunately there is no Tablet S. So, lets hope that Tablet S will receive update traditionally by air.
I'm on the latest version of PC Companion, but no mention of a tablet?
In Sony Update Service you can find a new category (Tablet) but only Xperia Tablet Z appears there... no luck for us!

I just tried with xperia tablet s, and pc companion says "Pc Companion was not able to connect the phone/tablet"
they care more about releasing jelybean on tablet that is't even being sold yet then xperia tablet s or 1 year old tablet s.
This will certainly make brand loyal customers abonden sony.
Thats typically Sony allways thinking ahead..
i'm sure they still have love for us we just have to be patient.

Confirmed. Also using sony updater service it comes up with Xperia Z under tablet. This confirms that Xperia Z is made by Sony Mobile. Where as we with S1 and XS are stuck with stupid Sony! lol

That's so true and sad! They put all their efforts and hard work to PS4 now!
So nothing today either i guess, not suprised sony more bussy with live stream tonight anyway.
Just give it time, the update will come to fruition soon. At least we can expect it to.be.bug free.
i gave up my love for sony...........sony no more.........although ps4 all the way....

Will most likely buy also cous microsoft just keep screwing with customers and dead rings altough ps3 also has them its not as common
It seems Sony is playing the same strategy with PS4. Just lost 2 hours of my life to see a controller, specs that were out for some time and a bunch of trailers or real-time play without even a glimpse of the actual console. I don't know if the idea is to wreck the whole company or if they are just that stupid to advertise something as mind-blowing and then all they serve is disappointment. What a shame for such a great company.

Only Sony Mobile and the Camera department are doing something good...
hey! Looking to buy the S Tablet in the next few days but I am not seeing a lot of DEV for it. Are there any ROMS for it and is there a standard root process for it? The tablet looks pretty nice but I wanna make sure I can do the things I have done with previous tablets
i don't think anyone would advice you to buy tablet s right now not even the xperia tablet s, probably not the xperia tablet z either.
Their lot issues atm, and sony is awfully silent.
nope.. we don't have any rom.. only Root on ICS.. and some minor tweaks!

well that sucks cause it looks right nice. What kinda of issues are there? I have heard about the WIFI sleep issue but heard there was an OTA for that
I dont even know if I am in the right thread. Is this the Sony S witht he quad core 1.4?

shutdown issues especialy and the fact that sony is slacking a lot on jelly bean for this tablet.
the tablet s is not even known if it will get it, the xperia tablet s would get in february theor not any news yet.
Been promised some tough by sony community manager and some one from belgium.
thanks for your help! I decided on the ASUS TF300t. I has the quadcore 1.2. I do like the size and shape of the sony more but figured i would go with something that, right now, appears to have a little more time with the DEV's.
thanks for your help though

Probably should have waited for the Xperia Tablet Z...that one's developed by the Sony Mobile team (as opposed to the VAIO team that developed the Tablet S) and thus will have infinitely better support (Sony Mobile is really good with that stuff). And it's just a sweet tablet.

Personaly would gone for google nexus.
xperia z i really would't take anything atm from sony with current attitude they are having.
With asus you just have to be 100% sure you have no issues at all aka make sure you have no stuck dead pixels or just return it their quality control can be verry bad.
Finally jelly bean update for Xperia tablet S is here!
Oh god! Finally!

Wow! I just fell off my chair! Gimme now lol
I cannot bloody wait! Thank you Sony!
But not for the UK? Has release as USA :'(
No Australia?
The last time Sony VAIO released an Android update, American got it, then a few months later, so did Europe - that was Release 5 for the Sony Tablet.
However, seeing as though that is just a USA forum, in the past, ALL Xperia Tablet S updates have been released at the same time.
Eagerly awaiting the release notes. Mobile Bravia Engine, please!
I'm pretty sure that it will be a global release, we will have to wait till afternoon tomorrow here in europe!

Always has been with this Tablet.
I expect he's just saying that as he is a rep for the US.
Project Butter at last. The main thing (other than the random shutdowns) that bugs me about ICS is the 30fps animations.
60fps here we come...welcome to 2013!!! Fingers crossed for a European/UK launch!
Even if its not a UK release just yet, I'm interested to see if its different or whether they've included the new Sony Mobile launcher. Given this is 4.1.1 after all....
I was hoping for a new feature from Sony here.
If its a good release, I'll cancel my pre order.

Ooooh, interesting - not tempted by the boost in screen res/features? Or just not that fussed about shelling out £400+ within 7/8 months? Will just need to wait and see. My XTS is destined for the graveyard anyway so this will just make its passage to the next life a little more...buttery.
I do enjoy using this device, nice screen size, good processor, so if the JB release doesn't differ much to the Xperia Tablet Z, then not much point upgrading!
Besides which, the XTZ is still over a month away!
Something tells me though that Jellybean won't arrive here for quite sometime...(UK)
Oh, and i just bought a new car
Bit skint.

Fair enough then, makes sense! I am still fingers crossed for the Jelly Bean launch today but, as you say, not holding out that much hope. Since using Nova Launcher I get far fewer shutdowns etc anyway so not too fussed.
OT: What car did you get??
Who knows that if there is a 4.1 update for the sony tablet S?
I think the users of sony tablet S are forgotten.....

Sony have already announced that the original Tablet S will not be getting upgraded to Jelly Bean I am afraid.
Let's hope the post doesn't get deleted this time

It will come out today in Portugal as they've updated the info on Sony update site. http://www.sony.pt/support/pt/product/sgpt121e1_s
Procedimento de actualização do software | 18 /04 / 2013 (Procedure of software update)
Actualização de sistema Android 4.1.1 Actualizar já (Upgrade of Android system 4.1.1 - Upgrade now)
Even tough, the link isn't working and the System update on the tablet isn't allowing to update as it says that the System is updated. It will only be a matter of hours I suppose!
Why 4.1.1 though?
Sony VAIO always seem to be one iteration behind a release. 4.0.3 instead of 4.0.4, I was looking forward to the single gesture notifications.
Not alot of new features really, certainly when you consider it has supposed to have been in development since last September. No Mobile Bravia Engine which is a shame.
DLNA Function? I thought this had DLNA?
I don't know. I stopped trying to understand them since I think they don't really know what they're doing. Nevertheless, the changelog seems a little bit narrow and is only available on GB site (Portuguese and French sites haven't) so I hope the performance enhancements have a little bit more to add to it. Are you able to download it? I'm not.

Can't download as of yet, no.
A few users in Japan on XperiaBlog report having the update. They've commented on the JB XTS thread.
Hope they've done some work on the front end UI.

So now there's a Z Ultra Google Play Edition with pure android 4.4.
How do we get that rom?
Brilliant! now to just wait for someone to buy it.
It´s a huge step forward for Sony and the community. Looking forward to see some nice ROMs!
I can't decide which to order. Will any of the Sony stuff be on the Google Play edition? "bravia engine" and the sort

X-Reality for Mobile should be available as long as you don't unlock the phone. And as far as I know it'll only be active for hardware accelerated video, not for photos.
Wow, did not see that coming!! This ROCKS. :good: Can't wait to get this rom on my phone.

Do you think the Playstation Mobile app will still come on the device? If it doesn't, do you think Sony would give some way to install like for that one HTC device? Hmm. Likewise for the Walkman app.
Shít only avalaible in the USA
Google should give us europeans some love too
Sent from my Xperia Z-back to stock
Other play editions are vanilla android, I think its a fair assumption this will be too - I doubt Sony will roll out both 4.3 and 4.4, with sony apps/engines at the same time. Pure Vanilla 4.4 or Sony 4.3 most likely the plan (in my humble opinion)
Stil great news for XZU 4.4 drivers, libs etc

Great question, I actually have both versions on the way. Gonna play with both of em and decide which one I want. If I can't use the the dual shock 3 natively I might go with the Sony version.

Guys brace yourselves for the influx of custom roms
you could very easily convert the HTC One from the Sense version to a GPE one, once the ROM is out, anyone will be able to move theirs to the GPE version!
This is the best news! Yet one more positive point about my decision to get the ultra over the note 3!
This is great news! My Ultra LTE C6806 from the Sony Store is on the Fedex truck for delivery today. I really wanted as-close-to-ASOP phablet as I could get, and the Ultra fit the bill. Hopefully I will be able to turn this into a Google Edition device!
Better start researching how to root this baby!
I'm so excited but this is soooo weird... I thought this massive massive phone was a niche device. Why didnt they do the Z1? I guess I understand why though, they already have the N5, the S4 And the ONE, so instead of adding another 5 inch google play phone, or a slightly larger note 3, they figure why not go with the biggest.
I'm not complaining it just seems so random.
So how does this help us? and It won't really be helping for a few weeks/ months no?
I like I want the gpe rom.

It will help us as soon as Google releases the factory images. When? It could happen an hour from now or a week. We don't know.

It's as easy as walking (god, i hope you're not in a wheelchair). We just need Google to release the factory images, which can take everything between now and a week or so. We don't know.
