[Q] Any Xmas Cheer For us unfortunate Upgraders? - Sony Tablet S

Will there be any xmas cheer for those of us who mistakenly upgraded to 5A firmware on the TABLET S? If not, is there any hope now or in future? or are we stuck?

Ho ho ho, there is more people with R5A official... hold fingers, maybe Santa will bring gift

Well, Recovery shell is off the list so there must be a alternative way to get in.

Merry Xmas from NZ. Unfortunately no presents from me though. Hope we get root soon. Mine is due back from Sony this week and hopefully it is a root able build

:crying::crying::crying:
Me too, unfortunate upgrader.

those lucky ones with prerooted r6 fw could never imagine how desperate when u upgrade to r6b right at the unboxing time. T___T

At first, I couldn't tell why the seniors all harp on this issue instead of ignoring it...
I've been with an x10a and a Captivate for about 3 weeks now, and I already get it. Let me take a shot at part of the problem?
-----> The repeat of these threads has rendered <search forum> functions practically useless, so you have to scroll through the various threads.... But this doesn't work because they're filled with the same crap you get in the searches!!
Though I must say, I really appreciate your go at it - you imply it humorously as not to be rough with ze n00bz... Some people are vicious
Now again update shift to november ........

Sony Ericsson Brazil confirmed that the update will land from early November for sim-free phones and late November for operator branded handsets. David Mignot, Marketing Director of Sony Ericsson France, has told French X10 owners to expect the Éclair update in late November.

I feel like I was mislead when I bought this phone. Wonderful hardware, embarrassing software development.
I have pre ordred my first HTC, for work, the new Desire HD...
My X10 can then be a spare phone...:-\
And lets face it, as i am the one buying phones at my work, i do need to try out other manufactors some time...
SE have f+*&%# with the users one time too many now...!
Send from my X10, still without 2.1 *&%#
Hopefully the Desire HD isn't locked down like the US T-Mobile's G2.

Perhaps it is locked down, i have read that it do have hardware lock in fact...
But then again, if it have the most current Android OS out of the box, then no problem...

How much of big kick in the ass if XDA get 2.1/2 before SE release it lol

Surely this would be a big FU in SE face if they managed it before the proper update probably wouldn't have mattered before but after the past weeks eagerness and then the usual bombshell from SE I think it would be great lol

To be honest I think it's what they deserve.
From a marketing point of view, they are ****ed.
I too would love to see this happen
They ****ed us on the X1 and blamed HTC. Made big promises for the X2, we got ****ed even harder then. Now the X10!
Well at least my X10 is functional, not like the X2 I had before this. That was a pile of crap, a beautiful pile of crap... but still crap!
Yeah, hopefully someone cracks the bootloader soon!
This is my first SE phone (X10) since the old SE phones.. My question is.. Why do people like to continue getting EFF'd by Sony from X1 to X2 to X10?!??!
I learned my lesson after the X10.. Last time I ever give in to the brand, without doing my research first.
Sony Ericsson is playing there cards wrong. And, as a result? Lost MANY Potential and "loyal" customers from before.
Good thing i'm not on a contract with this phone!!
I would rather wait for the bootloader to be cracked by the devs anyway, they can take the updates and get better drivers other than that I think we would probably have to wait till october 2011 for froyo alone by SE. But by then I would of sold my phone for scrap metal and got an HTC ^^

Same goes for me, i would wait for the devs, what they do in there spare time for us is beyond anything that the SE devs can do in bringing us the best/newest firmware for the X10. Oh and as for 2011 for froyo that wont happen, i forgot where i read it but SE has said somewhere that 2.1 is the last firmware for the X10 series phones. If however we are able to get froyo as an update, SE would most likely cripple it again like they are doing to eclair as we speak and take out all the new features that comes with the update and only give us the number that shows up before the firmware version.

The x1 was by far one of my favourite phones I've ever used, only after using cooked ROMS from xda, I can see the x10 being one of the best Android based phones but only when it gets the same xda treatment.

There's no certainty that we will ever get a cracked bootloader, from SE's perspective; they don't have to stop the bootloader getting cracked forever, just 6~12 months by which time the phone will superseded by newer models and people will loose interest in cracking it as they move on to newer phones. If you look at the dev thread signatures you will see that a lot of them have already got newer devices. What do you think are the chances of them getting another X10 if one gets bricked? Natural attrition will eat away at our dev community unless a hack is found SOON and a homebrew scene springs up around the X10. It's not like X10 is an Apple product and cracking it will get you media attention / notoriety.
I'm sticking with my X10 for now, but I'm not optimistic.
My 2c.
yeah if its happen all x10 users will respect xda devz
All we can do is hope that we get a cracked 2.2

i think it wont be so fast till they crack the bootloader,there is very slow progress or none,i hope things will change when 2,1 comes out,maybe things will get easier..

They should already respect them for how hard they work and how many hours they put into this!
I doubt I'm going to get another SE phone after this.
I'm planning on jumping onto the HTC Desire HD bandwagon.. But I'll still have to wait atleast a year to save up enough money to afford it (University is killing me in loans).. Till then.. I'm stuck with this piece of ****!
Is anyone actually working on it though?

Расслабься, ничего другого от них ожидать и не следовало.:d
The mini is low on SE's list of priorities IMO and I doubt it will be updated in the next week. Please, don't take this as trolling; I'm only saying it because according to the PTCRB (certification service for UMTS/GSM products) website, the 2.1 update hasn't even been certified yet.
http://www.ptcrb.com/ctiastaff/complete/view_complete_request.cfm?modelid=17439
http://www.ptcrb.com/ctiastaff/complete/view_complete_request.cfm?modelid=17438
Of course it could use other certifications, but I doubt it.
... do you wanna kill me? phew..................... change the topic right now !!!!!
I'm hoping it's only an oversight my friend and SE decide to use the one standard firmware for both the x10 mini pro (which has been certified) and the x10 mini. It may well be that PTCRB haven't updated their website, that's all
peace
it's unthinkable that SE gives x10 mini pro and doesn't x10 mini... they're the same firmware, that's all
All in all it is not the problem of having or not having 2.1, it is all about the way SE is handling the whole situation. In the beginning it was Q4, then it became Q3, then it was end of September, then it was end of October, now they say middle of November.
They should have sticked to their original Q4 announcement, and nobody would have complained. But this erratic and spontaneous change of deadlines is demonstrating to the outside world that SE is having deep inside problems like with project management, marketing and public relations, as well as inter-departamental coordination.
This, and not the delays makes me doubt the SE future.

Huh? That link gives a quote of "A couple of more weeks" from the S.E. blog as proof that it's now going to be mid November, yet the link was the one posted in September saying that the release will be the end of October.

Sony Tablet S & P gets Android 4.0.3 ICS in Japan this April

Hi Guys,
Finally some info on ICS from Sony
Here is the link
Nice, thx 4 the info m8...hopefully we wont have to wait much longer.
Waiting for the japan update! Japan? Hmm... Not available for Europe/US?
I dont think so lol
Will keep my (european) tab as japan, and let you know guys when ICS will come.
Gonna preroot it, flash it, and give instructions step-by-step

Yep, same on the official japanese Sony page. But they keep it very common, no specific countries or anythin.
So in conclusion, yes its coming but if our country is included remains a mystery for now.
If Japan will get in April, obviously other regions will also get by May for sure..

Does ics in general (incl. non sony tabs) support Sd card mount? Hate not having native support! Thanks!
Sony are a waste of space
Why is it that people like Sony have to release updates a country at a time. Its pathetic. I WISH I had never bought the stupid thing and had hung on to ny Asus Transformer that has had ICS for the last month.

you think they make it ready and keep it in there servers without releasing it to us? And japan gets it, they send feedback, Sony improves and releases it globally.
yeah go ahead and sell it, buy one of those "It has the same look as Ipad" tablet
I sure wish they would "leak" an early release like Samsung does for the devs. Oh well.
There are some interesting goodies coming in the release. I love the ability to open small windows on top of your screen for the browser, calc, etc. I wonder if you will be able to drag the program to the new control bar and have small windows for any app.
I hope they update the remote app, it kinda sucks.

[Q] ICS Update in Canada

I hate to add another country to the list, but do any Sony Tablet S owners in Canada have the update yet? I have been restarting and hitting the update button for the last two days and still nothing. I know they said Japan and US were suppose to get it in the next two days and Europe in a couple weeks (that's what I heard), but what about Canada? Do we full under to US umbrella?
no updates in Alberta so far.....
i remember seeing someone saying that Canada wont be getting the update until May 3rd, in one of the posts in "How many user have received ICS update" topic
yea sony said may 3rd : ( that sucks....
May 3rd for Canada? Where did they say that?
Sent from my Sony Tablet S using XDA Premium HD app
Still nothing for Canada
Guess im not the only one not getting the update.....
One more week
I'm in Newfoundland and didn't get it. I got a little frustrated and used Condi's tool to change my region to the US and then just get the OTA update. It worked flawlessly and immediately!!
My recommendation: You guys do it too! The ICS update for the Tablet S is the greatest update I've ever seen a piece of electronics receive. Everything runs WAY better, the new features are fantastic, my battery life is (strangely) much better, the keyboard input issues are totally fixed, and then you can get google chrome as well.
I nearly bought a new tablet every weekend, but this update totally saved it. I'm now a reborn sony fan and will definitely wait to get their next tab now.
...Now if you'll excuse me I have to go THANK every post Condi has ever made lol. Stop praying for that UPDATE SYSTEM button to work and just go the root method

Hmm, I never tried that... But I just tested it and yes, it works.
Unfortunately it's still the same catalog of games there lol. I wish the entire selection that's on PSN was there but oh well
I just talked with Sony Support today and asked when ICS would get released for the Canadian Tablet S. They told me May 10th (I guess the same as Europe). Anyone know why they would release it so much later for the rest of the world than for US and Japan? I can only hope our update will have all the bugs worked out from the US release lol
@MarkB: Did you lose root after you did the upgrade?
Has anybody in Canada done the rooted ICS steps on the AiO post? What have your results been?
I just finally got root, so I'm a little bit gunshy on updates yet.
Thanks!
I went through the complete steps and things worked out fine. Unfortunately Im having issues with some of my apps thought (but I doubt its related)

Yes you WILL lose root when doing the ota update for US region. I only rooted to change the region to get the update tho, so no 'loss' for me.
I'd say someone will eventually figure out how to root the ICS rom anyways, so no big dealo
Thanks MarkB. Still considering setting up the AiO Rooted ICS, or saving that until the Canadian update is released.
I used to follow the PSP Hacking scene, and when a hack was opened for a previous version, the rule was to ALWAYS wait for a hacked update. I think Sony spends more time locking its software down than developing new stuff...
Good to hear that we have something to look forward to!

If you can wait, then definitely do that! lol
I couldn't wait... I knew sony said "the end of april" for the release date, so I was getting off work and nailing that System update button every 20 mins for the past week. I'm just way too impatient and couldn't wait any longer haha.
Anyways, Tegra 3 with a 1280x800 screen and 1GB of RAM isn't evnough of a boost to upgrade now. The next thing to get excited for is to see what Sony's next tablet is going to be like... and I believe we'll be seeing it soon enough
Is content on the stores locked by the device? In other words do you currently see movies and such that other Canadian tablets don't see?

Everything seems to be exactly the same concerning market content.
a second tech from sony told me the release for Canada would be this week.
Hopefully someone with a rooted Honeycomb tablet can use the ALLinONE Tool to download the encrypted OTA update so we can pre-root it.
I didn't bother waiting and installed the US pre-root.
