Hi
Thanks for making the thread.I was considering to make one about this.Well,I think it is something that everybody have known from long before.I also think that it is time to use those leaked source.Sony will try to avoid answering about them.I talked with a sony agent in the Xperia Care chat room and she was always trying to avoid answering my questions about them(Always saying"It's not sth we advise you-it'll void your guarantee" and things like this).I kept asking if there is any legal problem and she did the same thing(saying those things again...).It's a leak after all and no company would accept leaks(I guess sony will neither ban us nor permit us to use it-even If it has legal problems,they will not make things worse by summoning devs to court-It's a legacy device after all) .Now that the support is officially over,I guess Devs need to really think it over.Good luck

I guess they still did good with all mentioned phones above except for my x phone xu and xsola...which were officially stucked at 4.0
Rest received 2 major android upgrades .. 4.2 n 4.3 were minor(hence not considered) ones while 4.4 is too much to ask on a 2 yr old phone..
For 4.5.. xda is always there

---

Well we have past the 18 month update windows also so no surprise there

No one purchases a 2yr old phone.. Neither they are manufactured..
No sales fall.. No suicide

I already raged when Sony announced no JB for U. No news for me, actually...

It's nothing new to me too. I would happen. Sooner or later. But keep in mind that every company was doing that, is doing that and will be doing that...

Well Sony dont fall or anything because of this that we dont get 4.3 or even 4.4, they have more products then mobile phones, like televisions, game console's like ps3/ps4, camera, radio's, dvd players, sound systems, headphones etc etc etc.
Dont get pissed about that !!
Sony gives more support then any other manifracture like Samsaung/Apple
Peace

Apple actually give iphone 4 more to visual effect. And it lags the system. Features of ios7 does not go to iphone4. You need to buy a new iphone from apple to use the new feature.

Sony says: 'Let's sell cells as if they were candy, yes!'. And that's all, folks.

There will always be the people who only use official Android builds from the manufacturer, but they are not the type to be using XDA anyway.
I haven't used official builds since they stopped at Jellybean, which actually worked well enough, but my ST25 runs really well on Kitkat using an AOKP build, I have tried several 4.4.2 builds, most are still too buggy to use for daily drivers yet, the AOKP version being the exception so far.
I guess if you want your walkman app and other 'Sony' features you will just have to be happy with Jellybean. Seems a shame as 4.4.2 is the smoothest yet on my ST25 :laugh:
Thank goodness for the developers at XDA giving our Xperia U some hope.
