Lately Sony announced that they will be launching devices with Firefox OS in near future 2014 devices ....

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.

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?

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.
I don't care about sony's UI jelly bean.

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.....

So Sony has decided not to give us Jelly Bean but they said they will continue to give us maintenance update for ICS. And it has been a while since the last .587, do you think they will release another update for our phone? For me even if they don't give us JB I will be happy if they continue to release bugfix and stability improvement update to perfect ICS. Let's hope our phone's life cycle won't end so soon.
highly doubt that they will spend any more time updating the 2011 line up
Actually u can see this and give up your hopes

How can you prefer something that you didn't even tried?! (Here i'm not talking about CM10,but about Sony customized JB). And no,ICS don't sucks,but you need to uninstall some crap apps which are eating ram and processor power,and then you'll get a very smooth ICS.

look:
Sony Mobile has this morning confirmed that Android 4.1 Jelly Bean for its new Xperia devices (Xperia T, Xperia TX and Xperia V) will start to receive the update from the middle of Q1 2013. Sony Xperia devices that launched earlier this year including the Xperia S, Xperia acro S, Xperia ion, Xperia P, Xperia go and Xperia J will be upgraded to Android 4.1 in “due course”. Looks like Xperia miro, Xperia tipo, Xperia tipo dual, Xperia sola and Xperia U users are excluded.

Man,Samsung,Sony,Motorola,Microsoft,Apple or any other company you want don't care about customer satisfaction...They care only about making money,and how can they make money,if they don't make you to buy their newest devices? This is not about customer satisfaction,it is about marketing strategy,where,unfortunately Sony has very weak employees.
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

Sony had promised earlier that they will be releasing the Jelly Bean update for all the Xperia devices that were released in 2012. Now, in a tweet from the official account, Sony has confirmed that the update is in very final stages and that more information will be provided next week.
Just a quick update to say we hear you re: JB 4.1 for Xperia P & Go, (S, SL, acro S and ion). Work's in v. final stage - more news next week
— Sony Xperia News (@SonyMobileNews) April 19, 2013
The list of devices that will be getting the Android 4.1.2 update include the Xperia P, Go, S, SL, acro S and the Ion. No details on when exactly these phones will be getting the update but we are hoping this will be addressed next week.

"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
While it isn't a necessity, it would still be nice to have an up to date operating system.

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

Official update would be better, becuase then we would have more sources and development would be easier .
What's more, people who can't unlock their bl won't be able to flash it .
