Jellybean update may come throught the Sony Pc companion app!!! - Sony Tablet S

Hey guys....so yesterday the Pc companion app for xperia phones recieved an update ....and the good news is that now it shows "update phone/tablet"
This definitely means that now the app also supports tablets and we may even recieve jellybean through the PC companion.......
Who knows we may get the update this month...:good::good:
UPDATE:It seems the only tablet supported is the Xperia tablet Z

We are supposed to get the update this month. Although i think ours will be OTA.

Ok. It seems there is Xperia Tablet, but unfortunately there is no Tablet S. So, lets hope that Tablet S will receive update traditionally by air.

I'm on the latest version of PC Companion, but no mention of a tablet?

In Sony Update Service you can find a new category (Tablet) but only Xperia Tablet Z appears there... no luck for us!

I just tried with xperia tablet s, and pc companion says "Pc Companion was not able to connect the phone/tablet"

they care more about releasing jelybean on tablet that is't even being sold yet then xperia tablet s or 1 year old tablet s.
This will certainly make brand loyal customers abonden sony.

Thats typically Sony allways thinking ahead..
i'm sure they still have love for us we just have to be patient.

Confirmed. Also using sony updater service it comes up with Xperia Z under tablet. This confirms that Xperia Z is made by Sony Mobile. Where as we with S1 and XS are stuck with stupid Sony! lol

That's so true and sad! They put all their efforts and hard work to PS4 now!

So nothing today either i guess, not suprised sony more bussy with live stream tonight anyway.

Just give it time, the update will come to fruition soon. At least we can expect it to.be.bug free.

i gave up my love for sony...........sony no more.........although ps4 all the way....

Will most likely buy also cous microsoft just keep screwing with customers and dead rings altough ps3 also has them its not as common

It seems Sony is playing the same strategy with PS4. Just lost 2 hours of my life to see a controller, specs that were out for some time and a bunch of trailers or real-time play without even a glimpse of the actual console. I don't know if the idea is to wreck the whole company or if they are just that stupid to advertise something as mind-blowing and then all they serve is disappointment. What a shame for such a great company.

[Searching] Firmware for LT22 (Xperia P)

Hi @all,
until the Xperia P got certified at ptcrb and now some got it unpacked I wanted to know if somebody could provide the firmware as a ftf file?!
I don't think anyone dumped it yet. Sony doesn't give review units to anyone who asks, you know.
Sent from my LT26i using XDA
What does this have to do with Xperia S?
There is no Xperia P Forum so I have to post it on Xperia S.
Like some older Post to the Xperia S were postet in the Xperia Arc forum.
That´s the reason.
This came little late, I had a prototype in hand.
Ahhh right that's cool. What's the xperia p like man? Better than the S?

For some reason it was lighter than I expected.
I felt screen was nicer than S (it was brighter with more vibrant colors), but I didn't have both at the same time to compare.
Battery life was OK.
This was prototype and crashing as the software wasn't the retail version but just test one.
Front Camera is VGA but 1.3 on S isn't impressive either.
Things I like:
It fits better in hand rather being bulkier like S.
Screen was nice
Uni-body is really nice
No stupid Flap is totally a plus+++
I loved the power button on the right, need to get used to it but once you do..it makes the whole sense in the world.
Bottom part under transparent strip could have been smaller, at least like S. and that part in this model was plastic for some reason. I thought the whole body is aluminum?
I think 4" size screen is perfect.
Quadrant score I got was about 2200
Those three buttons are on the transparent strip which may be cool. At least they are more visible where they are.
And this model didn't have yellow tint issue and also it was Sony Ericsson. I think more of an earlier built.
Again, uni-body with no flap was awesome and very nice. Phone looks sexy and even sexier than all the videos I had seen before have the actual Xperia P.
Didn't like the speaker...it sounded weird.
anyone here with access to EMMA? Didn't see any Lt26a but there is Lt22i and Lt22a listed.
I hope these info becomes hand .

Maybe you should have read couple post above my last post
I owned recently Sony high end laptop Z series and speaker is as bad as the early production in 90s.
Lets hope retail version is better.
i have the chinese version of the LT22i(Xperia P), it went on sale here in China on April 29th, can anyone guide me how to do it, googling didn't get me far, i would love to provide the ROM for you guys,
That would be awesome if you could provide the firmware...
Slightly off topic, but do we think there will be an Xperia P forum here? and will it get much Dev love?

That is what has stopped me to pre-order them. I believe processor chipset is different and not sure if the Dev, would start working on it.
As far as the forum for Xperia P, there should be one very soon..maybe they are not aware of release in China.
Whats weird is that if phone has gone for sale in China why I don't see in on eBay...usually everything from China goes on there fast.

It just went on sale on the 29th. The firmware sucks as google service is banned from the handset. We are stuck with Baidu and no twitter or YouTube or google play

First off, I am total n00b when it comes to these stuff. in EMMA there is a section where says Download services and has a long list of devices. I don't see any Lt26a...I don't need to have any devices connected for looking at the list.
These might be totally wrong, but there are some interesting number for later headsets. Only God know what is true with Sony.

It depends on which access level you have.
Some can only download FW with connected devices and higher levels can download without a device connected to EMMA.

[Q] sony tablet s 4.1.2 update?

Recently i was searching the web for a custom rom for the sony tablet s. Which was a waste of time cause i did not find anything. What I did find is that people are saying that you can use the sony tablet s flasher tool by condi to upgrade to jelly bean 4.1.2. can some one verify this. If this is true is it prerooted, able to flash custom .zips.
4.1.2 update isnt out on any of Sony's tablet. So you cant flash it, no.

There will be a Jelly Bean update, its just not out yet.
There is no optin in condi's tool to flash 4.1.2 because it isnt released yet. But probably. there will be, once the update is released

Exactly!! Condi's new tool flasher is Jelly Bean READY because it does not use the recovery to update. It writes straight to the partitions and because we have the decrypt tool (now in Windows, originally only with AIO on tablet with old recovery) we can decrypt the zip and add back-door and root etc and whatever we want (i.e apps as system) to the 'ROM' and then use Flasher

Statement on Jelly Bean Release Schedule for Sony Tablets
"We will be releasing Jelly Bean for the Xperia Tablet end of April 2013 / early May 2013 for the Xperia Tablet. This update will resolve a memory management issue that may cause the Xperia Tablet to shut down from time to time.
Currently we do not have a roadmap to release the Jelly Bean update for the 1st Generation Tablet (Sony Tablet S)."
If you read the latter sentence carefully, they speak about "THE" jb-update. So... there is an update (ready or under development) but is not to be released yet. They absolutely don't say it will never come....

"Ciao @AntwanLou, l'aggiornamento JB sarà disponibile solo per Xperia Tablet S. Puoi approfondire sul forum: goo.gl/eBuEs"

You do know that the Sony Mobile team (which is the one behind the Tablet Z) is very good at being transparent and releasing timely updates, right? The VAIO team is not and they were the ones who did Tablet S and Xperia Tablet S. But at any rate, all manufacturers are quite bad at releasing timely updates, so it's not just Sony. That's why we should all stick to Nexus devices...

Under "The xperia tablet" im meaning the current one, the XTS. I dont care about Sony's inner misunderstandments, id like to have a Sony product, that gets treated like all the others Sony product. Otherwise there is no point of getting a Sony over any other brand out there.
Thats my point, you cant sell Porsches, release a new Porsche that is actually made from the Porsche Watches team and do nothing about it.
Its just that im disappointed with Sony's decision makings and my new tablet would never be a Sony tablet again.
Handsets are another thing, although if Sony continues to be Apple-like and release phones with non-removable batteries only, im going to switch to Samsung.
Oh well hopefully my tablet get replaced by sony xperia tablet z if you do get the option i would take it.
Least if been offered to exchange mine for tablet z.
If I can exchange this for an Xperia Tablet Z then ill be satisfied.
I will forgive sony consider sony products if they are oke, i will regardless buy playstation 4.
but thats asuming sony exchange my tablet for tablet z in the end pull through.
My trust on sony tough totaly depends how sony deals with sony xperia tablet s issue.
I think sony should give 2 options least, aka a choice between part off cash back because xperia tablet s obviously not worth much, or free upgrade to xperia tablet z with accesory's being replaced asswell for equalivants.
Honestly tough i think the best option is to just get all the xperia tablet s replaced by tabket z,
Either way if they do the first option they should unlock bootloader and root, its obvious their might not be any future updates after jelly bean.
ofcourse time will tell what will happen, i hope sony does the right thing.

WHat ROMS?

hey! Looking to buy the S Tablet in the next few days but I am not seeing a lot of DEV for it. Are there any ROMS for it and is there a standard root process for it? The tablet looks pretty nice but I wanna make sure I can do the things I have done with previous tablets
i don't think anyone would advice you to buy tablet s right now not even the xperia tablet s, probably not the xperia tablet z either.
Their lot issues atm, and sony is awfully silent.
nope.. we don't have any rom.. only Root on ICS.. and some minor tweaks!

shutdown issues especialy and the fact that sony is slacking a lot on jelly bean for this tablet.
the tablet s is not even known if it will get it, the xperia tablet s would get in february theor not any news yet.
Been promised some tough by sony community manager and some one from belgium.
thanks for your help! I decided on the ASUS TF300t. I has the quadcore 1.2. I do like the size and shape of the sony more but figured i would go with something that, right now, appears to have a little more time with the DEV's.
thanks for your help though

Probably should have waited for the Xperia Tablet Z...that one's developed by the Sony Mobile team (as opposed to the VAIO team that developed the Tablet S) and thus will have infinitely better support (Sony Mobile is really good with that stuff). And it's just a sweet tablet.

With asus you just have to be 100% sure you have no issues at all aka make sure you have no stuck dead pixels or just return it their quality control can be verry bad.

[Q] Sony Xperia Tablet Z 2 difficulties

Hi everyone!!! Is it true that to update Android it is necessary to connect tablet to a computer? If it is true, maybe it is better to make updates with the help of WI-FI?? Because it is a bit complicated!
But I like the Xperia tablets greatly! The are thin and not heavy that is a big plus of them!
No don't worry , it doesnt matter how you update your tablet or any android device.
I would recommend you too do the one that is fastest , which for me is often via wifi

No
So far, there is no announcement from Sony regarding N availability to their devices.
We need to wait and see..
Maybe No because the support period for the z2 has ended and sony does not guarantee that it will bring further updates for the z2
I'm not so surprised but i hope xda developers can make Custom ROM for Z2
Why everyone in here is so Pessimist,Z2 and Z3 have the same rights to have N,they are twins,literally. How can you say "No" just like that? Sounds like you didn't paid anything for your device,Z2 is pretty capable of run N,let's see if Sony have the dignity to update.

Nope pretty sure mm will be the z2's final big official os update, Soon it'll be a end of life device. Z3 will get N officially but then be in the same boat it'll be it's final big os update.
