SE don't want to update their current android phones because of marketing.

That's how it works for them, not necessarily for the rest of the industry.
There are phones with worse hardware than the Xperia series which have been given Android 2.2 updates.
IOTW, they **** on their current customers and profit on them. Nothing else.
Its not everything bad.
We can get all that have 2.2 by root phone and we will get multytouch actually we already get it.
They uploaded firmware with multytouch.

please support us,for new fw updates for the X8 and X10 family
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=904941
I am for.
What I find most annoying is that SE seems to have forgotten they made the x8 entirely.
I'm not even sure if the x8 is considered "part of the x10 family" or not. I can make semi-informed guesses, but there's no official word to clarify this.
thats bad....
Sony mentioned the x10, mini and mini pro and forgot to mention the X8..??
either they r gonna bring froyo to X8 (which i m think is never gonna happen) or they dont think X8 is important enough to mention..!!
I had tweeted SEAnswers about the Xperia X8 and this is what they had to say, I quote "There may be updates to software, however we will not be upgrading past 2.1 OS".Check the Discussions on their Facebook page, no further updates to the Android version.
So... since the x8 was originally intended to launch with 2.1, this pretty much makes the life-span of this particular device... Dead on Arrival.
It's a fine device, but the policy that comes with it is just utter rubbish.
There's a new post by Rikard on the blog.
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/2011/02/01/next-update-for-the-xperia-x10-and-x8-family
All that is mentioned for the x8 is:
"the mini products and the Xperia X8 we
also have enabled the ANT+ support in the
chipset. "
and thats it.
No dual touch, new Timescape, no changes to 4 corner UI, so called uxp update is a sham.
SE is crazy. No 2.2, ok we cried but we stayed mum. But going back on a promise of providing a decent update is pretty sad.
How can they not post DT for X8. I dont care about the stupid timescape, or the stupid launcher. All I want is DT (and most of the users here).
$$%$%$%!%$%$%$%
same with me

u are quietly right!!!!but froyo still needed...
i used US firmware, and check with SEUS and PC com, there's no update available.
Anyone has new update? and can you share your SI number? hope that new update is not china firmware, cause it makes my phone slower than US firmware
In case we will receive this update, am i right assuming it will delete anything on the phone?
So we have to reinstall all our apps, adjust settings again and so on?
Come on guys, SE never promised dualtouch for the X8! We don't even know if it's possible. I think we have no right to cry about this, as we bought our phone knowing there would be no multitouch.
Dammit guys! Why are you complaining? They'll enable ANT+!!! Don't you know how useful is it? It'll save many lives, and since we all have ANT+ monitoring devices, DT should be our least concern...
xD, yeah right... I really really don't see any purpose of ANT+, can't they at least give us DT?
All I can say right now is: SE, you haven't said a word about 2.2 on Xperia, while developers got 2.3 working on X10 and racht is in progress of making it work on our X8-s (I hope)...
Google construct the Android OS and SE is 2 lazy to customize it
SE u disappointed us all
The X8 update will start rolling out one week after the x10, so arnd 2-3 days more and we can expect it to begin, not that it'll add much but I want to see if they have made any improvements to the UI.
One "improvement" they surelly done is patch up the root exploit, so I would say not to update...

They could have found the exploit on their own.
As you bought the X8, did you read something about multitouch or Froyo 2.2? No. Point.

As I bought x8, i read that it has ANDROID os AND when i bought it, x8 was new on the market. The most popular os in the world must be upgraded and it must have MT,Flash and app2sd.
Really, really dissapointed about this phone, seems to me that the next phone I buy will deffo not be a SE ( and I'm loyal to SE since my first mobile phone back in 1998 )
Way to screw users by not offering decent updates.
we want froyo in our x8 becuz this is our law. se must unlock the boot loader.

agreed..
i m not updating my phone until SE brings MT or froyo to the X8 (which is never)
this is seriously my last SE phone
Stop hoping for nothing, the X8 will never get froyo or MT oficially... the only solution will be to get a working froyo rom for the x8 and that will be it. Sony screwed me one time with the X8, but it will be the last time i buy a SE phone.
still not available in Croatia...
I just want to say"SE u disappointed us all"
SONY ERICCSON HAS SAID THEY ARE GOING TO START ROLL UP UPDATES FOR THE X10 BUT NO MENTION OF OTHER RELEASE XPERIA PRODUCTS. THIS HAS BEEN ACHIEVED BY OWNERS POSTING COMMENTS ON THE SONY ERICCSON FORUMS
http://talk.sonyericsson.com/commun...sionid=9C035449AFE913DDBAFBC51904921490.node0
go on here and write about your disappointment
the x10 2.3.3 is a good start as devs can develop a rom for our x8 but we want a better x8 original. just go on that link and complain about how frustrated you are!
http://blogs.sonyericsson.com/products/
X8
The X8 is a fantastic handset and with its 600 processor it can definitely have the 2.3.3 android software
Don't worry. X8 custom roms are faster than original one.
I don't even care anymore about "official", I love my Floyo
I'am actually looking at the work xda devs do on products before buying them, like seriously I don't even care about company support anymore. They all stop at some point.
Yes but if se release 2.2 or 2.3 this will help devs to make their roms even better, faster.
I was realy disapointed when I buy my phone(it is my first android, and i was an idiot in the android world) when i watch it on gsmarena.com I fell in love with the phone When I started to get to know about android and when I read no 2.2 update, i was realy disapionted...I'd like to buy me an HTC device, that fully works everything (even the MIUI rom) I'm just using CMmini 2.2, and it's a realy good rom, but the interface (I love the stock launcher from Eclair)
Just wait that someone form the developers make MIUI rom compatiable on mdpi devices(like ours x8)

we've already got the 2.3
Head on over to the Sony Ericsson website or check the PC Companian software if you own the Xperia arc. There's a new software update available which adds new themes, a landscape mode for the homescreen, stereo audio in video recordings, an audio boost system called xLoud and ...
Is there some one who can get this and make a flasheble rom threu xrevory so we can get it on the x10 ???
Sorry for the bad englische
wrong forum...
I so want all these stuff in X10 and remember the words of Mighty Bob the builder
YES, WE CAN
if we could get the update software maybe we could use it on our x10 phones
I guess SE will give us some little software updates with bugfixes and maybe new features.
I doubt they'll be bringing it to the X10... It brings a lot of new features. Every time they update the X10 the owners have one less reason to upgrade their phone. I think it's really nice they brought 2.3.3 to the X10, but I don't expect them to give it much updates aside bugfixes...

who is asking SE to give us....I guess our devs can make a .zip file of this update optimized for X10
Maybe we will have a large discussion on SE Forum and ask them update Xperia X10 to Android 2.3.4 again lol. And because the information that SE was testing Android 2.3.4 on X10 so I think this will be. And include in this update is all the update of Xperia Arc :erk:

No. Both still work the same way besides multi touch and the fact the arc has a new processor so its really easy to port. Trip ported a Rom before official 2.3. From the arc

Easy?! It's hard if you don't know how, and if you want to make it run fast without lags it is even harder to do... And because the Arc has a newer processor it doesn't mean that something is easy to port.
I hope some one will get it that would be very nice
oh shiiiiit
that is my fault , i should leave sony since they lied to me on X10 series ... **** **** shiiiiit.
oh sorry
Hi guys
last week i've created a thread by named " hey sony , any update... "
most of people replied my post and talked rudely ...
anyway ,
now , i know that my opinion was true , sony is liar. they did again what they did on x10 series to us. they said x10 mini and mini pro can't run 2.1 froyo , but developers ported gingerbreads , also ICS on x10 series .
maybe this is end of time for sony , lie lie lie ...
actually , why should we buy somethings like xperia play 2 with thousands of false promises .
why should we trust Sony promises . Sony is nothing ,do they have powerful engineers ? Sony even can't support its specs ( oh god damn )...
i know that somee of kids want to reply again and say that my words are mere lie, sony is #1 , BLUHBLUHBLUH ...
totally , I just want to say :
without ICS update = no hope on sony anymore , none specs ...
I have similiar feelings like you, cause I had X10 too, and this is deja vu....Completely disappointed, but I know we (Devs) will make better ICS ROMs than Sony, we just need the latest sources. No bad words about Sony - they're good corporation, but I don't have luck with their smartphones, so I think never more Xperia - but other Sony stuff is great . Terrible info about no ICS...
Why leave sony, you have so much in common with them
Sony has been working hard on making an ICS update for the Xperia Play, and after so much testing they saw that it wouldn't give a good experience on this device because the hardware requirements for ICS.
Is this a company you can't trust with? Do you prefer a company that wouldn't even try to port ICS to the device?
Sony allways informed us about what they were doing. A lot months ago they opened a web informing what procedures they have to follow to make an Android update, they answered questions, and they even made an open beta to let users say what they think about the stability of ICS on our device.
Do you prefer a company that doesn't do all these things?
Are you angry because the Xplay won't get ICS? Ok, I'm angry too. But don't say thing like "oh Sony that bad company" because they gave a very good user support.
Be more mature and think what you say.
I might as well save one of my earlier posts into Notepad for these threads....Here we go
"There is no point, at all, in getting angry about this. They rolled out the beta as a way for the community to test and give feedback on what works and what doesnt. It did what a beta is designed to do. Unfortunately for Sony, the gamepad on the Play came back and kicked them right where it hurts. Id rather have a gaming device that works than one that doesnt.
To put it simply: All PS3/Xbox/PC users. Imagine if Sony or Microsoft rolled out a new OS that looked nice BUT......Controllers/Keyboard and Mouse support didnt work. Sure, you have a nice looking OS but the chief reason for buying the machine is gone.
People in here need to calm the hell down. Its not, I repeat, NOT...Sonys fault"
STOP...BLAMING...SONY
i found this rather interesting this post
http://talk.sonymobile.com/message/197288#197288
States that not only will ALL 2011 xperia phones get ICS but they "PROMISE" we will get it...

not sure yet not due an upgrade till october but going to be doing my research on whatever company has the best out
and then when i get my new phone im probly going to record myself smashing up the xperia play it will help me feel better
Sigh.. after coming from a x10 mini pro this is rather annoying.
And I was recently interested in getting a Xperia Arc S or Xperia S, not that I hate sony now but I'm kinda bitter on them right now that I don't want them to have a penny from me anymore, but who knows if I'll change my mind later. Just hope they reconsider or at least release a more developed beta version.
Just doesn't feel good to be let down once again.

Yeah, I feel with you about leaving the Sony-scene and move on since they aren't that loyal to their customers after all.
But I will still have my Xperia Play as my main device and stick around with it since I still can call with it and I bought it to play and FPse is one of the few emulators I need in ICS and I'm sure the great devs here at XDA will bring some real good ICS-ROMs as I have already seen and tried a couple, like KA13 and ICS++, and AOKP with more

i'm sure that XDA's developers can make ICS better that sony , like what they did on our x10 mini-mini pro ...
sony-mobile allways say that they have expert engineers ... ( shiiit )
so , xda's developers are more expert than sony's engineers ???!!!
plus , they only need dommlord , jjkkyu , bin4ry ... ?
i'm sure that sony is liar . just wait 4 or five mounths , maybe sony wants to make new play-xperia ! ( something like xperia play 2 ) ! and that is reason to leave our xperia play without hard working on update .
on 2010 , they stopped working on X10 series , just because of 2011 series !
just look at apple updates , they support their specs for 3 years ,!unfortunately , now i can understand , why apple owners , allways laugh at us !
