I'm sorry if this has already been posted anywhere, or if it's too early, but I would like to discuss the Android 4.0.4 ICS update with the few Xperia U owners.
I read that it might be coming in late August, do you think they will provide the update this early?
Nothing much more to discuss really.
I just hope they will give us an update as early as possible, pretty sure we'll get it in early September.
And it needs to be stable.
Sony Mobile Italy had mentioned that ICS comes in the first week of Aug. God knows!
Sony delays updates like hell.

I hope it comes before the 10th so I can enjoy ICS on holiday
this is what a friend of mine told me (he works by sony)
Xperia P will get it first: in the first week of august
xperia U will follow at the end of the first week/second week.
this is if everything is going right with testing!

Gingerbread doesn't lag on XU
Only when the browser hits heavy sites. Else, its just so smooth. And I'm happy with my device.
Hopefully, when ICS rolls out, more devs would move in :rollyeyes:

I think the locked bootloader isn't a big problem. My U is blocked too, but when we get ICS (I think) we can root it, and so we can install custom roms. We can't change kernel, but we can make CM roms what are working with stock kernel. I will do this too
Hopefully we'll get it this month, I might also get JB for my Arc S!

To you with locked bootloaders, if you're after root keep checking HERE. Many thanks

Hey I wanna ask if there will be JB for our xperia u
I read somewhere that JB will be available on 2013 is that correct?
Thx for your time
We dont know yet for the official, but XU will get CM10 from FXP I guess.
Sent from my ST25i using xda app-developers app
Of course it'd get JB. Actually, a selected 2011 models are supposed to get JB. So, no reason why an NXT device wouldn't be

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.

I am using Xperia Sola for 3 months. I wanna exchange it with some other smart phone in same range. Should I go for Xperia go? or something else? Which one is better amoong go and sola?
Sola has better display than xgo ( 480x854 sola, 320x480 for xgo), apart this they are the same. Buy a Galaxy Nexus or a Galaxy S II if you want something better
Well if still want a sony device try go,atleast itll be updated to JB

I know but I don't know why. Sony made one of the best phone(for me it's the best). S3 is a plastic toy. One fall and you can throw out S3 to bin. Not worth any cent.

In my opinion, Sola is great phone (I'm Sola owner, for now), but the problem is the RAM , only 512mb ~ 100 to use !!
I'm willing to exchange it with P ,as it has 1GB Ram, Larger screen, second camera, 8mp camera, JB SW is on the way,,
So yes, go for Xperia P
I would choose the Xperia Z, it is a great phone, probably the best phone available right now.
Then, if he do not want a Sony phone do no ask in a Sony forum, look for the galaxy forums.
you may always want to look for phones made of qualcomm chipsets rather than novathor, mediatek etc. we are struggling to have the latest OS coz there are no sources for novathor.
I am Thinking of getting rid of my Sola. I have to options in my mind HTC amaze 4g OR xperia p.
And Please dont mention those names who are not in this budget range.
Amaze 4g for sure.
amaze 4g for sure coz of the chipset. even though its the older scorpion it has a lot of developer support and support from qualcomm too, sad to say this but the xperia p/u/go/sola line up is dead.
Amaze 4G is already dead. HTC is not upgrading it to Jelly Bean.
but atleast there would be a lot of custom roms based on JB

Infact this thread is Started by angry Sola user. But i dont wanat comments how bad Sol/u/p is. I wanna know which one will be better? I started this thread here because at this time I have xperia Sola. And i am really not happy with this phone. Even that my galaxy gio is better in performance.
I googled and found something like this
HTC amaze 70%
xperia P 30%
But I wanted some live comments from devs and seniors.

I mean to say future roms or roms based on 4.1+ can make good use of the features on the phone like say 360 deg camera. Secondly aosp roms (project butter) would fly on such a phone with good specs

HTC Amaze is carrier locked to T-Mobile's network. And an unlocked set in eBay cost almost $600. With the assumption that you are not going to migrate to the US, it's not economcal to buy the Amaze, unless you use T-Mobile's network there. If you really love the Amaze, you still can buy an unlock code online, though.

Satisfied With My P.
My Friend Has A Sola(On GB) And He Still Doesn't Know What Is GB And ICS.
So Here Most Of The People Care Only About Screen,Camera And The Most Important Build Quality (Dual Sim Also)
My Friend Bought SGSDuos At 17k($312) Because It Is A Dual Sim Device :silly:
We Would Think That It Is A Waste Of Money(That Is What I Think).
But Majority Of The People Ignore HW Specs Such As SOC,Ram,Inbuilt Storage,etc.
And Hence Companies Like Sammy Are Robbing People.
See The Rex Series,It Is Just Like Daylight Robbing.

That's buxxxxit! Sorry for the language (and I'm talking about Sony's statement!). Mobiles like Xperia J, or L has the same resolution as U but they got JB. My last hope is in FXP or even Sony releasing (after almost a year) a free-bug and speedy ICS release!

This is what sony says
Hi,
I understand your frustration. Believe me when I say we have really tried this. One difference of Xperia U and Xperia go is the screen resolution. This comes into play when in relation to RAM in the device. Xperia J is on another platform and Xperia E has the same resolution as Xperia go.
In the tests we made we felt that the user experience wasn’t good enough with Jelly Bean in relations to the few new features in that upgrade on some of the phones.
So there is a pattern in the update strategy. I’m truly sorry if this makes you like Sony a little bit less.

Thanks. As I've said previously, my only hope is the FreeXperia Team or a Sony ICS stock firmware at least decent (I'm on .54 and it feels laggy!). I'll wait to see if this .100 changes something for the better.
Open source archive is not changed as it was with .89 firmwire... so, it might be more reworked firmware
If anyone need link to open source archive 6.1.1.b.1.89 source
Hope this update....fixes
Slow camera & autofocus
Notification sound prob
Better multitasking
Ram management
