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)

Sony says no JB for 2011 device.
So, Xperia 2012 why not?

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.

oh and as we can see the LT29i xperia tx will be released late august/september WITHOUT JB .. another clue that sony has just shattered their dreams themselves.

The nexus 7 is a tablet. You can't make calls and send texts messages from it. It has no 3g capability.
I hope I didn't confuse you but I don't think I said to buy it to replace the Xperia s. I meant to buy it to be up to date with android.
Sorry.

I think the Xperia S is definitely the best Sony device to date right now. If you want to wait I would suggest getting the GX, but since they have yet to even announce an international release and the fact that Sony takes 3 months minimum to get it to market, you might not want to wait. I quite like my Xperia S and the newest ones don't have issues like the older ones do.
You are just bitter because of yellow tint.

If you want a phone now get Xperia S. With CM9 and 10 on the way, that should open up the doors for some great roms.
Thanks for your replys guys! I sooooo want XS but I'm a bit concerned if its worth the investment. Plus I can only afford a branded one and again no chance of unlocking the bootloader ( later on...) so no custom kernel and stuff...
I'm really unsure...

Hello
I'm a glad Sony Xperia P user, wich have looked forward to the ICS update in quater 2, but as we all know the update has not been released yet.
Every day I get more and more confused about this....
I've tried to ask on Sony Mobile's Facebook page, their forum (talk.sonymobile.com) and every time they either post a link to this post on their blog http://blogs.sonymobile.com/product...ream-sandwich-rollout-for-xperia-smartphones/ wich as you see is from may. And it says nothing about the rollout for Xperia P, or they tell you to go to their Product Blog (same blog as the link above) and what you find there? Nothing but marketing things..... If you go to the specification page http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/phones/xperia-p/specifications/ they still haven't changed the text "Upgrade to Android 4, Ice Cream Sandwich, planned in Quarter 2 2012" although that we are faaaaaaaaaaar away from quater 2.
Secondly i'm pissed of over that Sony not even post an update on the development on the ICS update.....
Do you follow me or not?
Great weekend to you
A confused Xperia P user
To be honest my friend, I wouldn't hold much hope of ics on the p until late august and even possibly September.
The ics update for the xperia s is an unfinished product that still needs quite a few fixes.
Their performance in 2012 as far as software goes has pretty much shown that they are just poor on software. I rather say that than to think they do this deliberately to limit the number of upgrades they provide.
Learn the lesson now... Never take their word for it as far as upgrades go. They deliberately mislead. I gave them the benefit of the doubt after the x10 debacle but they have shown they don't deserve it
Don't but Sony for software especially android software. You'll be very frustratingly disappointed if you do.

to this ICS, i just hope it arrives sooner than October, although I am satisfied with my GB 2.3.7, I won;t be able to take advantage of ICS, still, it's best to have the latest update... is ICS even the latest or it is just us having Late-software update?

Sony wants it to be as stable (in this case as few bugs as possible) as possible, before releasing it .

Well actually they drop their devices, like they did with x8 its got only 2.1 official firmware, but since Xperia U is anew device we will get ICS and in nearls future i hope JB. Sony is slow with their updates but they dont like other manufacturers, they did their updates unique and smooth like butter and tottaly different from others and for that they need some time
I remember the x8, I still have 2 of them. Both run bug free 2.3 overclocked and they never give any problems. I would have enjoyed the phone a lot less if it were not for the amazing devs over there, stock 2.1 is very limited and boring. I hope sony dont forget about the U and deny us JB. @dsaklein its nice to see a familiar name around here, x8 was getting a little old.

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:
