News
26st July 2012
Maybe We won't get an Official Jelly Bean update (We must wait for an OFFICIAL announcement from SONY)
Official: 2011 Sony Xperia handsets will NOT get Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
UPDATE - 31st July 2012
Sony's Pronouncement
On Android 4.1 Jelly Bean
UPDATE - 19th October 2012
Sony's Pronouncement
Continuing Android software upgrades – Jelly Bean for 2012 Xperia™ smartphones
We were glad to provide the Android 4.0.4 upgrade for our 2011 Xperia portfolio across most markets and the majority of models but, after thorough evaluation, we have concluded they will not be upgraded beyond Ice Cream Sandwich.
Beyond Ice Cream Sandwich we would not able to guarantee owners of these smartphones the user experience you expect and we demand. We will however, continue to support all these products with firmware maintenance releases.
As usual, the only official software update news will be found regularly here on the blog and we’ll keep you posted as soon as we have news to share.

Slight chance, as they also need to fix some bux for the current firmware.
i hope, it'll be better than ics: faster, smoother, major bug free. i returned to gb after ics because of bad gaming experience and led bug. but stock ics was better than gb, if you forget the games.

my thoughts exactly
Is CyanogenMod already working on it ?
Why post videos and info about Nexus?We can do nothing with that:s
This is a Sony (Ericsson) Xperia Neo topic so its not a Samsung alot of difference between devices
And i though that the 2011 line gets no official update to JB only 2012 devices of Sony.

Hello everyone. We’d like to bring you up to speed with recent developments in our Android 4.0 software rollout.
First up, the rollout plans for the Xperia NXT series (Xperia S, Xperia P and Xperia U) are progressing as planned. The first smartphone to be upgraded will be Xperia S, starting from the end of June. Then Xperia P will follow, whilst Xperia U will receive it a little later in Q3. As always we will keep you in the loop with the latest info as soon as we can.
For our 2011 range, as you know, we began our Ice Cream Sandwich software upgrade with Xperia arc S, Xperia ray and Xperia neo V last month.
Now, we are happy to confirm that the remaining 2011 smartphones; Xperia arc, Xperia neo, Xperia mini, Xperia mini pro, Xperia pro, Xperia active and Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman will start to receive their updates starting from next week.
This software upgrade will be Android version 4.0.4 and the good news is that this latest version will also be made available for Xperia arc S, Xperia ray and Xperia neo V users, who received Android 4.0.3 the first time around.
In regards to Xperia PLAY, after extensive in house testing with our developer teams and working with our partners, we have concluded that a consistent and stable experience, particularly with gaming, cannot be guaranteed for this smartphone on Ice Cream Sandwich – therefore, we will not make the Android 4.0 upgrade available for Xperia PLAY.
This decision was also verified when we received similar feedback from the developer community; both experienced developers and advanced users, along with game content providers following our ICS beta ROM for unlocked Xperia PLAY smartphones.
Our priority has and always will be, to provide the best possible user experience on Xperia smartphones. In this instance the ICS upgrade would have compromised stability, where we look to ensure a quality gaming experience with games optimized and developed for Xperia PLAY.
As always, feel free to drop us a comment or question below.

There is not said, that update is released to all devices to all regions during this week. The whole update project to named devices begins this week and lasts until they have done everything for devices receiving the update.
The whole team is in progress of uploading thousands of firmwares and now they also occured server problems probably due to massive uploading and downloading. It all takes long time.
And yes, they said end May/early June. It begon end May. They started like they said, what's the problem?
Now please, calm down, be a bit patient and stop spamming the topic. I know you are all excited and so impatient, but please, that's not a reason to spam. Go outside, have some fun, it is pointless to wait hours behind computer, waiting for the update, finally going to sleep without it. You can't miss the update, it will be available for long time.
When a update comes, then it will be announced/posted, I will update this topic when I see something new, on Sony forums the SI lists are updated when new firmwares are available etc.

Honestly I can't tell you what it brings but, if Sony is giving it to us, it might be stable. The latest version released was 3.4.0, so I think 3.0.8 might be far from stable by now. Dunno why kamarush says it is unstable, should we ask him?

uhh guys 4.1.A.0.562 was certified for arc s on 30 mar and released around mid april....... certificate for wt19i is still not certified ... how can they release it next week then ??
http://www.ptcrb.com/vendor/complete/view_complete_request_guest.cfm?modelid=20152
Is that a rule? I mean, the fw could be ready for mass distribution and just waiting for certification... Maybe that site is delayed? Because if Sony will actually release fw for ALL 2011 phones, they might have tons of work to certify everthing.
Just my 2 cents, though.

Btw, when ics came, I'm waiting for someone to taste it first. If one complains due to slow performance and such, id rather not upgrading but we'll see

Is there any Jelly Bean ROM for Sola out there?
I'm only seeing ICS roms, where's the CM10 roms?
The other Xperia phones (besides the S) have not been ported to CM9. I think we have to wait until CM9 gets the sola before CM10 does. Unless there is a JB rom leak for the sola.
Oh my, really? I thought that the Xperia line had all support from CM team
Xperia Sola was the smallest phone I found that's better than my Nexus One, going to search for another one.
Thanks
If I remember correctly CM9 and CM10 are both being worked on, they're separate projects being maintained but I'd expect CM9 to get greater focus since our ICS release.

Sola doesn't have jb and has 512mb ram. I suggest you sony xperia p if you don't want to spend more money 1gb ram and official jb.
Anyway back on topic:
1)GB: Good battery life, stable, no lags, dialer not lags.
2)ICS: battery life not so good, lags like hell dialer. Sometimes is really annoying have to wait 3-5 secs to make dialer open. Although, there are really good mods for ics on apps section that will not work on gb.

As far as the latest news from SONY goes, there is no word on a JB update for Sola. And as far as I know there will never be. Sony is one of the worst companies at providing Android Upgrades.

Then you can go for sola if you don't mind the Android updates,also Xperia™ sola is very laggy if you install too many apps...But maybe GB will be better.

yes, but I read that are not very stable, and that some things still do not work ..
then I enjoy it a bit with GB and in the future I'll enjoy to do some changes (this is nice )
once upgraded to ICS / JB you can return to the original GB?
