Now to my question ,
I have a HTC Wildfire , its my first android phone . But today I bought a new Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo . I bought it through a SE outlet in southern part of India . In EBay india they bring up a deal every day at 11 A.M . Today's deal was a SE Neo V for like 16000 INR, He called me and said they had the offer put in E-Bay and I was like WTF coz I bought this fone for 17500 INR ,
Wen I went through the description of the fone it had only 5 MP Camera but mine is 8 MP . Then I got a sign of relief . But again there was some feature like 3d Sweep panorama , but that is missing in my phone . I tried to find out wer it is like for the past 6 hours , but still no Luck ,
So out of hope I make this post here , Can anyone help me find it or my fone doesnt have it at all is it
Thanks ,
Saran
P.S. I don't know wer to post , If the mods or any admin panel gonna remove the post , please notify me through mail before doing it and please advice me wer to address my query .
The 3D sweep panorama for the Xperia Neo, will be available in the current update, it might be that it's not available yet in India. Just wait a few weeks, and you will be able to update and get the 3D sweep panorama function.
Check out settings > about phone
You'll probably have android version 2.3.3, the update makes it 2.3.4.
If you don't won't to wait, you can update via XDA.

To update via XDA, not the official Sony Ericsson update, but still stock ROM, follow this guide, till step 4.
Hi,
Thanks for the reply , My Phone says 2.3.3 , What you are trying to say is wen it is updated to 2.3.4 only I can use the feature is it ??
You can try to install it on 2.3.3, but I doubt whether it works.
I'll upload it within 10 minutes or so, stay tuned.

got it from here
Hi, I Installed it , but now the camera itself doesn't open, When I select Camera it becomes a black screen , then I have to click home button and come back, Any Idea :-o
You will have to wait,
I rooted my neo and even installed that apk(2.3.4) into rom itself, but my previous apk got deleted and i'm forced to use LG camera as alternate..
Please someone help by giving me a camera apk for 2.3.3 FW 4.0.A.368
Sent from my MT15i using XDA App
i try it on my current 2.3.3 but didn't work. not sure why. currently im using Doom kernel and i rooted my phone with Wotan Server.
anyone can help?
It wont work on 2.3.3 coz of changes in framework...
Open the development section and checkout instructions to install 2.3.4....
Also
Dont hesitate to unlock the bootloader coz warranty from se is just an "LOL"(very bad customer service)
Sent from my MT15i using XDA App
So if i flash it with Cyanogenmod 7.1, will the sweep panaroma feature still be available?
you should try Wotan server
first register in the website then download the program and after identifying the phone select advanced ... our device is called mt15i and choose 2.3.4
this method doesn't need root or opening boot loader.
i have successfully updated my phone to 2.3.4 then downgraded to 2.3.3
but never ever downgrade to 2.3.2 or you will loose your phone.
if you face any problem please contact me.
Hi. I'm from the Philippines, and I am a Xperia Neo V user.
As for your concern, Xperia Neo and Neo V are both 2011 smartphones introduced by Sony Ericsson, Xperia Neo V or MT11i is the successor of Xperia Neo. Now, the difference between these two smartphones is that first, Xperia Neo has an 8 Megapixel Camera compare to Xperia Neo V with just a 5 Megapixel Camera, the reason for this is that the company has an issue with the megapixel market (which I read mostly on some blogs). Second, as for their android OS version, I believe that these two has the same 2.3.4 (Gingerbread) version, I dont know with your country why your phone has only 2.3.3, but you can update it though. Third, Xperia Neo V is powered by Mobile Bravia Reality Display bringing its pictures and videos to a more level when it comes to quality. Neo V is also the first smartphone to have a facebook inside Xperia upgrade benefit. Fourth, Xperia Neo V is the only one to have a feature of 3d Sweep Panorama, in which the Xperia Neo has not.
To top all this, both of them are amazing phones to have.
I also read it on some news that Sony Ericsson will release an update so that the 2011 smartphones will have the 3d Sweep Panorama feature. So just update yourself to this updates. And by the way, android will release its OS version 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich) Update this March-April. Its an update that most android phone users are looking forward to..
Thank You.. ^_^

No offense, but this thread is three months old, by which time the threadstarter would most probably have received the said update. Anyway, to some corrections: the Neo is not without the Bravia Engine, as you may have meant. Also, the Facebook inside Xperia has been available to the 2011 Xperia phones since around July last year, around three months before the Neo V was launched. And yeah, all it takes is a simple update via PC Companion to get the 3D Sweep Panorama to the Neo (2.3.4 update). Again, no offense meant in my post, I just want to help clear out the facts.
Have a nice evening, buddy.
well i m just dying to get my hands on my Neo.. waiting for the shipment .....................
i just want to ask one thing..!! why people dont use PCC or SEUS for the updates.. !! and rely on Wotan or Flashtool !!
Xperia neo 2.3.3
its work for me thanks!:good:
Hello everyone – a quick update,
Starting from today (13th April), we’re beginning the Sony software upgrade including the uplift to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich for our 2011 Xperia™ smartphones.
The software will initially be made available for Xperia arc S, Xperia neo V and Xperia ray for consumers in Sweden, Denmark, Iceland, Finland and Norway. For the above models, the software rollout will continue over the next 4-6 weeks, becoming available in other global markets – we will update you here on the blog when additional markets can upgrade.
You’ll be able to see when the software kit (customized specific to your operator and handset) is ready on our support community; http://talk.sonymobile.com – please continue to check in if your kit is not yet listed, as it will be updated when new kits become available.
In order to upgrade your 2011 Xperia smartphone you will need to connect to a PC or Mac – please visit http://www.sonymobile.com/update and follow the instructions.
Following on, Xperia arc, Xperia PLAY, Xperia neo, Xperia mini, Xperia mini pro, Xperia pro, Xperia active and Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman will receive their scoop starting from the end of May/early June*.

Hopefully we get a taste of the ICS on our phones in a much earlier time...
Damn, I can't wait to end of May or early June, its too long!

John Cooper, UK Product Manager for Sony Mobile, has been taking questions from customers on Facebook and, perhaps inadvertently, revealed that both the Sony Ericsson Xperia arc S and Xperia mini pro will not receive the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update.
We have been waiting for Sony to make an official statement on their Jelly Bean upgrade plans and this is the first concrete news we have on the matter. The Xperia arc S was the highest specced 2011 Sony Xperia handset, so if this handset isn’t getting it we can conclude that none of the other Xperia handsets from the 2011 range will get the update either. However, the 2012 Xperia range do look likely to get the update, although timing remains an unknown right now.
Its funny that many of the 2012 Xperia handsets have lower specs than the 2011 models. It sux! anw, we can hope for a developer to port JB for 2011 Xperia lineup. & Cynomod10 is coming with JB

1) What differences are there in the hardware between the Xperia S (LT26i) and Xperia SL (LT26ii) other than CPU speed? (1.5 vs 1.7GHz)
In comparing the specs on GSMArena, that seems to be the only known hardware difference.
2) If the only difference is CPU speed, is it likely that it would be as simple as altering a device ID string somewhere for one model to be recognised as the other by (eg: ) PC Companion?
3) If this sort of minor differentiation has ever been done by any manufacturer... presumably that would be a good basis for extrapolation...
Did they from that point release one update that covered both models, or are separate updates more likely?
As far as I know, the LT26ii isn't in stores yet and I haven't seen any teardowns. I'm expecting to have to wait a while for some of these answers
1) Likely minor changes, same board
2) Crossflashing with flashtool should be possible, not sure about PCC
3) Just a spec bump for the people who want a new device. Think version 1.01 not 2. All fujis will get updates with an interval of about a week, just like all montblancs.
In other words:
Every Sony Xperia S can be an SL?

Yep.
I have seen the Sony Xperia SL in SUS. I want to try update my Xperia S in SUS with SL option. Is it possible?

Don't do it. It can be dangerous.

is only the clock bro
I bought sony xperia z2 last month and it shows me notification for a system update 23.1.A.0.690 (5.0 Lolipop)... I ignored it and never downloded the update because one of my friend had Xperia Z1 and he updated the system software but after the update he started having issues with the phone like it always autoshutdown due to heat up and was almost impossible to restart it.
Many of my friends who owns sony xperia smartphones suggested me not to update because they also started having issues with their devices when they updated the software. one of the main issue they had was the phone slowed down.
I have kitkat software right now. I just want to ask you guys who own Xperia z2 and recently updated to this latest software update, are you guys having any kind of issues and what you people suggest should i stick with the kitkat version or update it
I have Z2 and my brother has Z1 and we are both on Lollipop.
On 5.0.2 :
# The Xperia Z2 is very well but the animations are a little bit buggy but they don't break the flow
# The Xperia Z1 is very buggy and the system isn't stable and shut down three times a day
On 5.1.1 :
# The Xperia Z2 has no more animation bugs and it's perfect
# The Xperia Z1 has a much more stable system and no longer shut down issues
### As a Z2 owner I highly recommend you to update to lollipop 5.1.1 Because it's so beautiful and extremely fast and the battery stand for 7 and half hours in extreme usage (like clash of clans)
I know that on kitkat, the battery life is a little bit better but it worth to sacrifice
If I Helped, Leave A Thanks ?
