"We have been having a lot of questions regarding the update for our 2011 Xperia™ phones to the new Android 2.3.4 version. And we are happy to tell you that today we announced that the 2.3.4 version of Gingerbread platform for all the 2011 Xperia™ Smartphones will start the roll out during October at select markets."
Let's hope for the best!
Cheers,

it is update for 2011 phones such as arc, neo, play, pro,...

X8, X10/mini/pro are listed in the 2010 Xperia phones

...segtawee.....

But our sibling W8 was 2011 phone...
Sent from my E15i using XDA App

i am using a W8.... but after i installed Gingerdx... it shows that my model number is X8...
does that means i will not be getting the update ?
well... i prefer Dx's custom ROM better... more updates than the SE

i dont believe that the w8 will get the update..it is practically not a smartphone..and guys be realistic if the x8(or w8) havent gotten froyo how it is possible that we will get 2.3.4?just be happy for the devs here in xda

@innovator84:
Open the build.prop in a text editor,change every "X8" to W8" and then reboot and have a look at settings-about phone again.

please close this thread. Dont feed the trolls

i dont see trolling or any trolls in this thread because it located at the general section, no one is being assaulted.

W8 won't get an update, because it isn't a 'Xperia' series phone. It is a 'Walkman' with android system.
Edit: Who cares we don't have 2.3.4? CM 7.1.0-pre is on 2.3.5!

Thanks for the tips... but it doesn't matter anyway...
the W8 is practically a X8 with a walkman logo on it..

Yes you're right, W8 is a X8 with a walkman logo. But W8 isn't a 'Xperia' series phone, so it won't get a update too.

x8 wont be updated to 2.3 because its not a 2011 xperia phone its a 2010 xperia smartphone. and as @samyeung97hk already said the w8 isnt an xperia phone at all its a walkman. its sad but true we wont be getting official 2.3

Well I guess its only the packaging of w8. Its like LG Optimus and its glossy version.

So, w8 OUT @ XPERIA 2011, WHY THAT PHONE DOESN'T GET ANY UPGRADE?? AND I DON'T HEAR ANY NEWS THAT W8 NOT UPGRADEABLE.

It probably won't get an update as the x8 won't get an update. If the W8 gets an update us x8 users should get an update too because W8 firmware is virtually identical to x8 firmware. But SE has mentioned that x8 will not get update so W8 users probably will not get an update.

As I said earlier in this thread, W8 isn't a 'Xperia' series phone. Although it's spec/firmware are the same, it won't get an update either.
Edit: Every Android phones are upgradable if the spec allows/have devs to develop firmware.

Its simply just a fancy way to say: Your phone's too old and i can't be bothered supporting it. It's true anyway... i
An old excuse used by SE back in the days of 2.1 "the X10 isn't powerful enough to handle 2.3.3 gingerbread"
Hopefully we'll see a change in attitude by Sony [not Ericsson]

They are partly right about that we can't run 2.3. The SE version of 2.3 then.

Don't expect much..
If any of their "we are going for cash this year" statements are to go by.
As long as they don't purge DURRR HURRR devices on people... i'm ok with it.
I believe that's why the x10 was a abortion.... going for cash...

[Devices receiving Sony ICS Update] Sorry/Not for X10

Hey Forum,
Just to let you know, a few days ago Sony posted on their site that they will be releasing ICS for their Xperia Devices, But the X10 is not listed and thus is presumed will not be getting the upgrade to ICS.
Devices being upgraded to ICS are:
Xperia NXT:
Xperia S, Xperia P, Xperia U

2011 Range: Updated Last month
"Xperia arc S, Xperia ray and Xperia neo"

Click to collapse
Other 2011 Range:
"Xperia arc, Xperia neo, Xperia mini, Xperia mini pro, Xperia pro, Xperia active and Sony Ericsson Live"
Click to expand...

Xperia Play will Not be recieving the update either because Sony have identified that gaming on this OS may not be
"stable and persistant."
Click to expand...

I think they should release some sort of source or an update to help out the developers who are currently working on a custom CM9 ICS for the X10.
What are your thoughts?
Peace

been there done that...
this is too backdated to be here....

It's sad that xperia play doesn't get ICS . Now I have to mod my bro's xperia.

We don't need sony's laggy rom

Sure. Sony phones do usually get 2 years of support. We've still got time until summer 2019

Exactly there. Maybe it shows when you update the Support app. Either that, or it's region related.

It's as up-to-date as Software Update is allowing. Perhaps North America is low on the update priority list

i am super-relieved that Sony did not implement the awful new open apps carousel or the new split-screen mode.
