Xperia series android 2.3 in October 2011 - XPERIA X8 General

Click Here for more information
I think its not true. What u say ?

SE have already said there will be no more updates to Android for current Xperia models. But new models will have later versions of Android.

Arc will have 2.3
Maybe the devs make 2.3, like 2.2.1 for X10

No,no. They say that we will have the 2.3 update, and this is a S.E. offical source, now if they don't deliver us the update we can go tu court and sue them for false advertising

no update
Final consideration of the Company
"...the company will focus efforts on its new line of Xperia handsets that come with the most current version of Android 2.3 from the product Xperia (tm) Arc.
The devices that are already in the portfolio company's released so far, will keep the version 2.1 of the Android operating system..."

I believe that the devs will make the new update( like 2.2.1 for x10 )

i think that X10 series will get gingerbread,but X8 won't...

SE is just to lazy to customize the fws which get published of Google -.-

why u think that?

Well, I thinks it's false advertising, they won't update us soon, they insist telling us we won't have further updates. All we depend now are dev's from XDA, and specially those who made this site possible! I really admire you guys. And like many others I lost my trust in SE. Shame on them...

i think that X8 series will get gingerbread by someone.

I've tested Racht's 2.3 CM mod but I can't load it, keeps giving a strange graphic after boot animation :S but, anyway, it's 2.3.1 loading at our phone

I need it so much

I believe that's a fake message. If that's true then why did they skip Froyo ?

Arc will get 2.3 so eventually they add 2.3 to whole Xperia family.

x8 never update to 2.3

1st details on Gingerbread

http://phandroid.com/2010/10/18/exclusive-first-android-gingerbread-details/
here you can see the first details about the Gingerbread, more of them are cosmetics but it`s start
Personally, I'm more worried about Eclair rather then Gingerbread. I will think about Gingerbread if they announce it for X10 which is highly unlikely...
me 2 i am more worried about Eclair and then Froyo and i also think will never get Gingerbread aswell
well rumors say that SE will skip froyo and go for gingerbread... should we hope gingerbread update for x10???

yeah.. we could probably just forget about OS updates after 2.1.... at the rate they're going.. lol
but i really hope so as well
Gingerbread for X10
I was told by a friend of some 15 years standing who works for Sony Ericsson on the testing side that SE are not developing Froyo and are already developing gingerbread.
For now, I only dream and think about 2.1, really don't care about 3.0 much

for the x10?
it's quite easy to make these claims... everyone can do it (make claims that is)
I can confirm the above poster is right, X10 will stop at 2.0 and the next SE phone will have 3.0
Expect an announcement before Christmas that will launch a few new phones.

I was kinda hoping for Froyo after while ... but i think this is can be said 100% they are skipping it because it`s all rumors so nobody can confirm or not confirm anything on that statement

well officaly will never gonna get it 512 ram as we all know ... and the way SE are update-ting software ... probably the Honey Comb is gonna be out when gingerbread became ready for SE users ... i mean if we x10 owners gonna get it witch is doubtful
P.s.
the think i need is 2.1 and cracked bootloader and then installing custom roms for MT and froyo So i`m resting my future on the shoulders of the devs from this site Ty for the good work guys and fingers crossed for success

2.2 news and speculations

Good evening!
now, as we all have 2.1 it's a good time to start thinking of possible 2.2 upgrade. Has anyone heard anything? are there any rumors anywhere? Please post anything you can find!
Good Luck to us all and fingers crossed we will get 2.2 before 3.0 comes out!

2.3 not 3.0
Its 2.3 not 3.0 numbnuts!
Seeing the 2.1 update, the idea of Froyo from the SE dev team, gives me the creeps...
lol!
Why start people whining about the next evolution lol, na 2.2 is an easy update from 2.1 so will 2.3 i feel though that new we have the 2 base 2.2 might come faster, 2.3 is a definate no though as the handset dont have enough ram.

For speculation: SE said that they will support their product for 2 years after it launch, so therefore 2.2 should be in the works. If for any reason that they wont update to 2.2, it's because of hardware limitation (probably excuse that SE makes)

We all remember the story of MT and hardware not capable of it...
The x10 is fully capable of running 2.2, but my guess is they will skip over it and go to 2.3 sometime in the spring.

Rikard clearly said on the blog that 2.1x upgrade may also include an OS upgrade, that decision had simply not been made yet.

Walk lightly. Say anything that could be perceived as even slightly negative and pilote will lock the thread down quicker than you can say Jimmy crack corn!
You have to say things like: The X10 is the greatest out dated device ever made. And, how glad you are that SE stripped away all the great features of Android. They were just getting in the way of SE's perfect UI. And, than how glad you are that boot loader has been lock down so that no one is able to change a thing.
And there would have to be things like, who really wants 2.2 anyway? Heck, you can get that with any other phone on the market. Plus getting flash 10.1 would just make you waste too much time on the phone streaming videos. And, that would just kill the battery faster giving you less time to spend with your baby.
Plus there would be all those apps that you can't get with 2.1, and they would just burn up all your free memory.
The X10 is perfect and SE know exactly how to take care of her customers . Now who in their right minds would want to change from all of this? I only wish I could have paid more for mine!
whatever they do they just better not release a X10 HD model with 2.2 on there with multi-touch.
if they do, i'm never using a SE product ever again.

New update for non-rooted X10 users

I've received quite a handful amount of PM's regarding the new SO-01b update that it wasn't up to their expectations regarding UXP revamp or improvements. The SO-01b update is "not" what SE planned to update. It's version is still 2.0.1. Please note that the update is not what has been planned nor is the one planned canceled. Everything is still on schedule, and you will all receive your next big update to 2.1.A update soon. The final test firmware has already begun internally a few days ago, so it will take a while before it exits testing period. Please be patience guys
P.S. Anyone read the Vivaz 2 article? I can only laugh

Yes, it should be supported in 2.1.A, but NOT 2.0.1.B. I'm sure there will be people who misunderstand that. Thanks for the confirmation from your location
Thanks for clearing this up. Is it possible to give some more info on the contents of this update?
In Japan there is a rumor that SO-01B will not plan to update to 2.1x.
So I think 2.0.1.b.0.19 update is final update to give us MT for SO-01B.

Your title says for "non-rooted" users. So if you are rooted and running stock SE you will NOT get the update?!
I think he still thought that the new update couldn't be root.
It's for those who dont root thier X10
No, I did not meant to say if you are rooted then you will not receive an update. It's definitely not true Most of the rooted users are probably already on the clean roms or even 2.2 roms with MT enabled throughout. So I don't know if you guys would be interested in the new update

@unknown13x- What exactly is the difference between the Hallon and the Arc? Given the Hallon article by MR, it seems that we are going to pay a premium on the Arc for inferior features. The hallon has a front cam while Arc doesnt. Everything else is the same.

Hi again unknown13x, been a while....
Does the new mediascape have an equalizer? And is the Timescape scrollable? That will make me switch back from 2.2 if so...
SE should enable track skipping with the volume buttons, like on my old k800.
What could we expect with new version?
Just give us some hints, please!

SE left us with updates or plain one big update

Sony Ericson left us with updates.

There was pass one month from last cerficated update i think SE left us or is it plaining one big update?
What do you think?
Nope, probably this is all we'll get for the X8. Still can't believe what a bunch of ass-holes S.E. are.

If that change happens in EROM (loader.sin) then nothing could be done to go back...
I suggest that first we should wait for boot.img loading to be ported to X8...

Flashing back will not help?
I can't really be bothered waiting for another 2.1 update no matter how big or small. It's still 2.1. I couldn't be more happy to see the XDA devs hard at work making 2.2+ for the x8. It's not SE who make the x8 a decent little mid-range phone.
Where phone manufacturers screw their customers, XDA devs pick up the remains and do a better job anyways... on their spare time

Two things can happen:
*New Android update which disables this.
*New EROM which disables bypassing and DRM killing on lower level:
a) new EROM, same AID - EROM is downgradable
b) new EROM, new AID - can't be downgraded at the moment
Basically, don't risk - don't update if any new update comes.

basically it was SE's strategy to stop updating the old xperia phones so that the new phones can take their place. guys just keep a track in the dev section for more updates in the custom rom arena.. devs r working hard & they r producing super results

You might want it, but chances are you're not going to get it.

The article said that the 2.3.4 will be available for the latest Xperia phones (Arc, Play, Neo, Ray, etc) in October 2011.
It's being tested on X10.
So I doubt the X10 will be the first to get it, if at all.
Here's my 2 cent.
It's kinda weird since Android 3.0 is Honeycomb..
So i first thought maybe it's for the Sony S1/S2, but then again, it was posted for the X10i..

EDIT: Just in case you guys didn't know what's the S1/S2

Sony ericsson does not release software with the exact code as android. For example: If our next update should be 2.3.3, than the update on PTCRB will have the form 2.3.3.x.A/B.x. It's just a code. I has to do with the Sony Ericsson software version numbers and not android version numbers (1.6,2.1,2.2,2.3,2.3.3,2.3.4). So it could be another 2.1 update and change maybe only the baseband, or kernel....or it could be the real deal regarding 2.3.3 update. It's just their way of making updates. So someone from XDA said that the update 2.3.3 will have the form on PTCRB like 3.0.1.G.xx. My guess it's the real and official gingerbread update. A few more days to wait.
