Android 4.2 is launching in a week - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

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.
For only $300 unlocked no contract I'm tempted to trade my Xperia S for a white Nexus 4.

I agree that Sony is little slow in giving updates but it doesn't mean that they leave support to their devices like Samsung Did for their Galaxy R.
Be patient we will get update soon.

The Xperia J has the Old TV Transition? I hope it comes to XS, XTX, etc...

Well you are not alone...I also hope that it should arrive in mid-sept, but this post really got me wondering...
Off topic: Are you nitish shah...if yes, then weren't you active on the galaxy 3 section as well?
there must be something
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?

I will most likely get my Sola tomorrow.
Will begin working on CM10 (Jelly Bean) when I get it.
ICS For U is coming around end of this month.
Just like Xperia P got ICS.
Even Sony has released this on ther facebook and twitter

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

We dont know yet for the official, but XU will get CM10 from FXP I guess.

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 hope we will get JB official update, but on the other hand we will get CM 10 with JB and by the time official JB update comes we will have tons of custom firmwares and kernels to choose, so it wouldn't be such a problem.

[RUMORS] Xperia S getting Jellybean soon?

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?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31991116&postcount=75
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.

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...
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
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.....

If that's right what you say(which i suppose it is) the fujis are due to get it this year?Or early 2013?
The article does say that jelly bean for the xs, xas and so on will roll out in due course, I'd like to think that that means we will be getting it sooner.

If that's true we will have to get a new announcement before November right?
i think they left out the Sola and the U as they want to develop something special for the floating touch and the LED bar respectively. Anyway Go and P which has the exact same specs is going to receive it.
(Tries to think positive )
K900, I really want to believe you, however "due course" is an incredibly vague statement. Could be soon, as you said November, could be by end of year December near holiday season. Or it could be after their newer flagship phones receive the update. Sony should just say yes it will roll out in 2012 or no it will not roll out till 2013, I would be happier with that statement than "due course"
Just my two cents
Love my Acro S
Be positive guys
It will be much easier to port JB From P to U and Sola(Same Chipsets)
Hope that Sony Will Release It Soon.(Diwali)

awesome dissapointment by sony
might be ust me but i dont expect much from a JellyBean update from sony themselves anyway, look at all the bugs that made when they gave us ICS. Its that we got XDA developers to fix stock firmwares, remove all the bloatware and optimize them cause otherwise the stock ROMS would be pure thrash.
the upside: Camera drivers, with that CM10 should be near usable as a daily driver.
kinda funny that there was another blog posted at that link btw, Sony not updating 2011 devices to Jellybean? I mean c'mon, they are 1 year old, they seem to drop support for their devices afther 1 year or something. So that might aswell mean that afther next year the Xperia S/P/Arc etc wont get updates either. lets just hope this isnt the case.
I think they trying to do something special for both Sola and U. Both have unique features that the rest do not have.

the fact is that xperia U is a 2012 model not getting the upgrade. Talking about coherence
so no JB for sony xperia S this november?
If Sony tells as 'q1 2013' I will expect SW update q2...
BTW. Let everyone sell our devices and make some money and buy galaxy nexus or something like this.

[Discussion] Android 4.4 KitKat for Novathor Devices

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?

Google itself won't update their Galaxy Nexus (http://www.theverge.com/2013/10/31/5051958/google-galaxy-nexus-will-not-be-upgraded-android-4-4-kit-kat) and its even more capable of running kitkat for it has 1Gb of ram...http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_nexus_i9250-4219.php
i will just wait for the wonderful works of the awesome developers here in xda
I would like an official update by Sony. It should cover things like floating touch and would bring my dead ICS XPeria Sola back to life. I'm not an optimist, let's hope I'm wrong.

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.
Sent from my C6603 using xda app-developers app
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.
Hmm maybe Android 4.4 KitKat isn't all about lower requirement. Maybe its Android 5.0 that we waiting and they should name it Android 5.0 LEPO (LOW END PHONE ONLY)
