Some new info about Jelly Bean for Xperia SOLA and U - Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go

Here's a heads up peeps.
Sony might release a beta Jelly Bean for XU and SOLA (like those Alpha ICS releases for 2011 Xperia's last year).
Discuss..

source?

This will be great, that way devs will make it for us very fast.. Source?

I really doubt
Where did you found such source after they said there would not be JB update

The Sony homepage has removed the link to info on ics updates, fingers crossed it's a sign of imminent release.

I hope so...waiting.
The ICS update for Xperia arc S, Xperia neo V and Xperia ray is come at the end of March/early April 2012. And this is here.
The second wave will begin from the end April or the start of May 2012. So, Xperia Neo users need to wait for about a month.

Second wave? There's still no first wave
@all: as soon as you convince yourself that it will be late, it will be better for you. after all, all you can get is a surprise if it comes any time sooner than you thought
they are always late, not sure why you all thought it will be right on time this time.

The first wave is comming.
But at the moment, there is no certified SW for Neo V, Arc S or Ray in PTCRB. The last is 4.0.2.A.0.69, which comes in February.

Well Sony is known to be late in fw updating anyway.Btw I don't get whats with all this cannot wait till we get ICS from sony,tbh I didn't saw much improved in ICS beta rom comparing to gingerbread stock rom.Also there are other better ICS variants like MIUI,CM9 there to use if you need ICS that much and you cannot simply wait anymore that your head is gonna explode thinking about ICS
Even after Sony releasing it don't expect it to be 100% stable and bug free guys,it will take some time for Sony to release a stable ICS rom for each model,if they succeed releasing a fully working bug free ICS on first go then that might be a miracle imho.
Well i hope that they will release official ICS rom for our phones soon. The current gingerbread rom that i use (.62 build) is very stable and fast but the new features of gingerbread will be useful. What is suspicious is that it is the end of march already and there is nothing certified in ptcrb. I hope that the acquisition of Sony Ericsson by sony will not result in delay of the update for the xperia 2011 devices. After all they already released alpha and beta ICS rom so the final one should be close. Let's hope.
ICS beta was not so stable as we thought, but yes it was/is a beta, and Sony have telling that if you read good enough, they will work on the final to get more stabilty and looking where the problems can be for lag etc, so i think that the final ICS have more stability
then the beta, thats why they needed time to fix it
I hope you understand me.

I think, Sony developers (or other Sony workers) are monitoring XDA and the ROMs from ICS Beta sources. It helps them to make the final firmware more stable and fastest.

It was obvious though. Why would they remove it if they were going to release on time (or early)
No company would ever remove it just because it was released. Unless they did it late

[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.

Hope there will be a fully working AOKP soon. This sony's JellyBean could help to get camera and HDMI working on custom roms.
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...

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.....

Jelly bean schedule for Xperia

Sony gives the jelly bean schedule !!
The first phones to get the Jelly Bean update are Xperia T, TX and V. The roll out will start in February and should be completed by the end of March.
The next trio to get the Jelly Bean treatment is the Xperia P, J and go. Sony will start seeding the updates for those at the end of March.
The last four phones to get Android Jelly Bean are Xperia S, SL, ion and acro S. The rollout for them will begin a few weeks after the second batch of phones get the Jelly Bean treatment, presumably sometime in late April.
This means Xperia arc S, U, sola, miro and tipo are out of the loop and will be stuck on ICS forever, at least as far as official updates are concerned.
We need to wait till the end of march !!!
Awww yeah!!

Screaming "FÜCK SONY!!!!" They are all fücking liars. First they said, that the 2011 portfolio will get JB. Then they said only the 2012 device portfolio will get JB"(that's why I bought a Sola instead of fixing my beloved Xperia Ray) now they say we will not get JB... Man, this is pathetic. Gonna buy some nasty crappy iPhone clone Samsung sh*t next time.
So we'll really get 4.1 when the 4.2 will be out since nearly a half year by that time... Awesome... Anyone knows when the next android OS will come out? Maybe we'll get 4.1 when google comes out with 4.3 or 5.0 (I dont know what the next release is going to be)
I'm really not that Sony hater and flamer, but this is pathetic...
i am almost sure they will update it directly to 4.2 because sony already got the 4.2 sources way before we got it
Please use the existing discussion thread about Jelly Bean which is stuck at the top of this forum. You could ask the OP to just update their post with this information then we don't need multiple threads for it.

Sony have only Xperia, so why you say" Xperia series"? Is there any.other series made by Sony? 2013 line mutt be launched with JB, ICS is too old for 2013 phones. If you want JB faster buy Xperia T or Z. I'm going to buy Xperia S because I found buyer for my P. SXS will get JB in the early April and I'm nit crying.

Android 4.3 for Sony mobile phones?

http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2013/07/25/on-android-jelly-bean-4-3/
"Yesterday you probably saw Google announce the next version of Jelly Bean (Android 4.3) – we’re already getting stuck in and can confirm we’ll make 4.3 available for: Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR, Xperia Tablet Z, Xperia SP and Xperia Z Ultra…
We’re also looking at uplifting some of our other devices running 4.1 direct to 4.3 – we’ll share more info / deets / timings when we can, so be sure to follow @sonymobileNews for all the latest."
I personally will be really surprised if Novathor-powered Xperias (P, U, Sola, Go) get updated.
let's hope, bu not this much!
That is a dream that will never happen lol
Xu doesn't have 4.1.2 or 4.2.2.... So if these phones have android 4.3, it will be with a custom rom
Sent from my Xperia U using xda premium
As the changelog says, there is not much visible difference between 4.2.2 and 4.3 and main focus was on improving multiuser support.
If I am not wrong its like upgrading from 2.3.5 to 2.3.7. So if we get a good 4.2.2 (CM10.1) I'll be more than satisfied

Yeah, the changes in 4.3 are mostly some under-the-hood stuff: http://developer.android.com/about/versions/jelly-bean.html?43

Either 4.2.2 or 4.3 for NovaThor would be really nice - I personally want lockscreen widgets and DashClock - but I don't know if ST-Ericsson built the sources for such an update...
No android 4.1.2 is the last update for novathor u8500 device cause NOVATHOR is dead and won't release any source for our device...their are totally drop us behind other processor manufacture just like Snapdragon did!

maybe we won't get official JB 4.3, but i've seen on github that DevSwift1 tries to port CM10.2 to Xperia U, so if he succeeds, he and Percy will probably develop CM10.2 for all: P, U, Sola and Go .
It's not as good as stock JB 4.3, but it's still very cool
