From what I understood by translating this with Google, we'll get Jellybean soon.
http://vnsony.com/threads/2486/
They say that the guy who told them very accurate info about new Sony smartphones(Yuga and Odin) also gave them info that there will be a Jelly Bean update in two weeks.
Well, your thoughts, gentlemen!
I think Xperia S will get support for updates up to Key Lime Pie, so it wasn't something to worry about.
Late October/early November seems most likely for JB on fujis and blues, late November for montblancs.
fujis= xperia s and arco hd
blues= xperia t tx v etc.
montblanc= xperia p u sola
that right?

this is exciting! it is strange though that sony have kept so quiet on this release, as normally they tend to mention an update and then it comes a few weeks later? is there a reason why they haven't confirmed yet either that said handsets will be updated?
thanks

Yeah, pretty much. Those are board names: fuji - S3 based (S, Acro HD, Acro S, NX, etc), montblanc - U8500 based (P, U, Sola, Go, etc), blue - S4 based (T, TX, TL, V, not J). Expect an announcement soon.

Hope there will be a fully working AOKP soon. This sony's JellyBean could help to get camera and HDMI working on custom roms.
Finally I will not change my phone soon.....I'll wait what's coming for the Xperia S....
You know it would be cool if Sony beside his UI leaves a stock UI so we would basically have 2 UI's.Wouldn't that be cool?I saw that with Huawei phone i think...

Well I don't know about timing - on Android, Sony hasn't suddenly surprised users with version upgrades like that before, they tend to announce it in advance, and more recently, closer to the launch date as seen with the 2012 phones with ICS. This would be the tightest schedule yet, if they do announce it soon.
Previously, I wouldn't have minded much about Jelly Bean, but I was browsing a 2010 Sony Ericsson phone on 2.1 and it is MUCH faster than my 2012 Sony phone on ICS - so the aim of Jelly Bean to deliver performance and experience improvements of ICS is welcome in my book ... :good:
It's clearly going to happen. Sony have big plans to increase market share this year and promptness of updates is key to getting a god reputation. and Samsung has already got their jellybean updates rolling.....

Don't worry. The Xperia P update has already been released in many regions, and I believe the updates vor the U, Sola and Go have already been certified by PTCRB.
I'm sure the ICS update will hit your device (or at least a flashable ftf) before the Xperia T, V and J are in the hands of consumers.
and again and again and again the same

Don't worry my friend. Just be patient and wait. Believe me: it's worth it. I was also mad, waiting for ICS on Xperia P. But Sony finally kept it's promise and I now I have a stable and bugfree ICS which is smoother than gb while eating less battery at the same time. Please consider that good development takes some time. Sony won't risk it's good reputation in breaking it's promises. You will get ICS soon.
I even heard some rumors that the 2012 line might get JB. But that will take time!!!
What about JB.

So until Christmas Sony makes me happy :highfive:

ICS Works fine for me except no compatibility with mw600 no sound track id but jelly bean might not change that

BTW xperia is a phone so phone is to make a phonecalls, take picture, browse internet (if that is fully working no problem) , or constant changing operation system, in extreme let transfer that in to computers how often do you change OS in Laptop?

I have motorola xoom running jelly bean and it's running smooth, you can compare the fluidity and smoothness to iOS devices. Jelly Bean is like Windows 7 of Microsoft Windows (fixed version of Windows Vista).
We still do not have ICS for all our devices let alone jellybean which has been delayed till next year.
What is taking Sony so long to keep their devices up to date?

It also has UI and accessibility improvements as well as optimized software for improved battery life.

Sony gives the jelly bean schedule !!
The first phones to get the Jelly Bean update are Xperia T, TX and V. The roll out will start in February and should be completed by the end of March.
The next trio to get the Jelly Bean treatment is the Xperia P, J and go. Sony will start seeding the updates for those at the end of March.
The last four phones to get Android Jelly Bean are Xperia S, SL, ion and acro S. The rollout for them will begin a few weeks after the second batch of phones get the Jelly Bean treatment, presumably sometime in late April.
This means Xperia arc S, U, sola, miro and tipo are out of the loop and will be stuck on ICS forever, at least as far as official updates are concerned.
We need to wait till the end of march !!!
Awww yeah!!

Screaming "FÜCK SONY!!!!" They are all fücking liars. First they said, that the 2011 portfolio will get JB. Then they said only the 2012 device portfolio will get JB"(that's why I bought a Sola instead of fixing my beloved Xperia Ray) now they say we will not get JB... Man, this is pathetic. Gonna buy some nasty crappy iPhone clone Samsung sh*t next time.
So we'll really get 4.1 when the 4.2 will be out since nearly a half year by that time... Awesome... Anyone knows when the next android OS will come out? Maybe we'll get 4.1 when google comes out with 4.3 or 5.0 (I dont know what the next release is going to be)
I'm really not that Sony hater and flamer, but this is pathetic...
i am almost sure they will update it directly to 4.2 because sony already got the 4.2 sources way before we got it
Please use the existing discussion thread about Jelly Bean which is stuck at the top of this forum. You could ask the OP to just update their post with this information then we don't need multiple threads for it.

"Yesterday you probably saw Google announce the next version of Jelly Bean (Android 4.3) – we’re already getting stuck in and can confirm we’ll make 4.3 available for: Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR, Xperia Tablet Z, Xperia SP and Xperia Z Ultra…
We’re also looking at uplifting some of our other devices running 4.1 direct to 4.3 – we’ll share more info / deets / timings when we can, so be sure to follow @sonymobileNews for all the latest."
I personally will be really surprised if Novathor-powered Xperias (P, U, Sola, Go) get updated.
let's hope, bu not this much!
That is a dream that will never happen lol
Xu doesn't have 4.1.2 or 4.2.2.... So if these phones have android 4.3, it will be with a custom rom
Sent from my Xperia U using xda premium
As the changelog says, there is not much visible difference between 4.2.2 and 4.3 and main focus was on improving multiuser support.
If I am not wrong its like upgrading from 2.3.5 to 2.3.7. So if we get a good 4.2.2 (CM10.1) I'll be more than satisfied

maybe we won't get official JB 4.3, but i've seen on github that DevSwift1 tries to port CM10.2 to Xperia U, so if he succeeds, he and Percy will probably develop CM10.2 for all: P, U, Sola and Go .
It's not as good as stock JB 4.3, but it's still very cool

Hello everybody,
I just open this thread to discuss about Android 4.4 KitKat for our lovely Novathor Devices
So here's my opinion:
I still have hope that Sony will update our Novathor Devices. Google announced that KitKat is fitting on 512MB devices well so it's not impossible Some people here lost theri hope on official updates from Sony but not me!
So what's your opinion about it?

Then you are most probably wrong. Stop hoping. Xperia U, Go, P and Sola will not get anymore updates:
-Novathor is dead, ST-Ericsson already closed its doors.
-Sony will rather focus it's resources on more expensive phones like Xperia S, T,Z and Z1 rather than low-mid range phones like Xperia U or Go.

Yes, dont hope to get the official update from Sony. You will be disappointed. Also our devs don't have necessary drivers for our hardware, so it is difficult to make a fully working 4.4 Rom. Hope our devs here will make our devices run on 4.4 with only few acceptable issues.

If Sony didn't even updated their last year's flagship models, why would they update midrange phones? Even Google themselves won't update the Galaxy Nexus, even though it's more than capable to run Kit Kat.
