Good Morning,
last night, a new FW 10.4.B.0.569 was certified on PCTRB - looks like the 4.3 FW is coming! Lets hope it´ll arrive before christmas

Well, it's a christmas gift from Sony!

The question is do you need the warranty or not.
I decided i don't and i am enjoying a very fast and extremely stable cyanogenmod running on 4.4.2.

It will be interesting to see if the 4.3 will fix all the "bugs" from the 4.2 update. I have downgraded to 4.1.2 since I need full screen / correct aspect ratio on MHL, real Tablet UI, and there were also quite a few language/UI errors in my region.

ICS Upgrade

Thought id start this thread to create a bit of build up to the upgrade, im a regular arc user so ive still got another month or so to wait but il feel good if the arc s gets theirs on time, which being the end of march could be any day now. Sony seem to be quiet on this, anyone heard anything?
I'm hoping they release the ICS for arc s by the end of this weekend, the suspense is killing me slowly lol. I check this forum and sony blog post every morning.
As they said late March to early April, that could mean the update would between 15 March and 15 April.
Would love to get an update from SE on the progress for the first phones that are due upgrades.
Clearly feeling a little bit left out now that Samsung are releasing theirs.
Hasn't HTC also updated a device?
Sony is behind - again
Sent from my iPad 2 using Tapatalk
I'm very enthusiastic about ICS too but doesn't it mean that we won't have our devices rooted anymore? I've linked tons of apps via Link2SD and my Arc don't have enough space to hold them all.
I'm worried when we will have to upgrade to ICS, AFAIK a lot of apps out there is not yet compatible with ICS, until the developer will upgrade the app.
But I'm also Excited because lots of optimization and features will be available to us, specially that Adreno 205 Driver will be included(I read it somewhere)

I think otherwise. Almost every app I tried is fully compatible with ICS.
Also, Sony has announced the neo L in China and it launches with ICS on board. It uses the same chipset as the arc (MSM8255). Perhaps we could port it when someone gets and uploads the filesystem dump, that is, if the device comes out sooner than the ICS update.
There's nothing on PTCRB yet and updates usually appear on here well in advance of the update actually being pushed. So it could still be weeks away assuming they haven't had any serious issues they need to fix first. It's been 4 weeks since the beta and not a peep from the Sony devs here on XDA which is a shame.

I don't think it will be a problem. I also have an Asus Transformer TF101, and that got ICS a few weeks back, no application compatibility problems, and it's REALLY quick (it was quick before anyway).

yeah i agree, in their blog post they stated "Over the next months we will be keeping you up to date on progress and we will also share video demos of the new software running on 2011 Xperia™ smartphones." it doesnt look good....
Probably see it in April, just my safe guess.
I am really looking forward to being able to force gpu acceleration because I don't like scrolling lag
i hope 2011 xperia can still support jelly bean in the future...
By XDA sure, by sony no. I doubt they will release another major update after this. Look at the X10, got gingerbread update and that was it.

There's 50% chance they will do it and if they do, Jelly Bean will probably be the last major update.

Yes, looks like GB, but is JB. I got a galaxy nexus (too) with 4.1.1 and looks like GB too. But JB have better perfomance, better transition effects, better notification bar (and notifications), etc.
Why the guy don't share the rom file link??
We'll seek and expect today and the next few days.
when he scroll in the about device section it has a date on 31th july 2012 and when he gets right to the bottom it says TEST KEYS just below xadlg4 at 03:07 in to the video but he quickly moves it back up
btw it's not XADLG4 but XXDLG4.
modem XXLEF
changelist 11164
Im watching it without sound, but is S-Voice gone? I couldn't see it when he was flicking in the app drawer, though there was something that looked voice related on the last page as he was scrolling (but his app drawer was arranged alphabetically...I think). Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but are Samsung using Google Now in 4.1?

I'm not complaining at all, provided actual changes and fixes are included with the updates. However, lately it seems samsung is pushing one update after another with the exact changelog, so these end up being more of an annoyance than an enhancement.

Seriously??? Good news???? The Z was always going to get 4.3. Not getting it would have been disastrous.
It's a question of timing. When? This year? Next year?
The Z right now, more than anything else, needs a flipping update to sort out this buggy 4.2 crap laggy Rom.
Sometimes, I feel it has a mind of its own. I regularly pull my phone out of my pocket to discover strange goings on like mobile data off, Bluetooth on, so many apps open.
It's like it goes totally berserk sometimes.

But is is so easy to update to a Global 4.2.2. You are on XDA, that means you are not the average Joe, update with the tools the people over here provide us with.
Must whining and complaining infest every thread regarding updates? Even when good news is announced, the usual suspects surface to moan.
It's getting seriously boring now. If you're not happy, sell your phone and move to another manufacturer.

Sure. The phone works fine without it. Just like it worked fine when everyone had the pitchforks and torches out because they thought Sony were taking too long over the 4.2.2 update.

Works fine for me. I did a 'dirty' update via PCC without any wipes. I only suffered slight lags in the stock launcher, so I swapped to Nova.
This isn't my point anyway. Any time updates are even mentioned, the same people appear to whine about the same things over and over. Complaints about 4.2.2 are nothing to do with this thread in any case.

It looks like Samsung is going to release uncompleted roms...
Today they started rolling out the S3 one that is missing Knox and interesting features from s4/note3....
The same looks for Note 2... maybe Mj5 was a release candidate...
They are going to give us just a "core" refresh, porting 4.3 to their touchwiz rom ... for compatibility with Gear.
Just my impressions.
