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

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.

Im about to buy this phone (experia x8 or x10),but the news like this make i change my mind....although i think that experia x10 is capable of android 2.2, sony make all people down and feel waste of money buying their phone....

so bad sony ericsson . just mind for profit than after sales service

I can't but wonder if this is related to the same news from Samsung withholding their update for Galaxy S.
Unable to post link to news :/

"We believe that 2.1 is better than 2.2 just because we said."

Yeah, you might want to give these phones a miss. Sony will just constantly disappoint you. They should of stayed well away from Android. Android is meant to be an open platform, but they are doing all the wrong things with it.

I can understand if they say that x8 will not receive Gingerbread update due to hardware limitations. But for Froyo, x8's hardward can support it! I hope SE will change their mind.. :/

I can imagine that is based on costs. Since the majority of people that buy new phones today, as they have done with computers for decades, is that they never update their software. Since, for Sony Ericsson there is nothing to gain to update to a newer version of Android.
On the other, they could however remove the encryption on the boot loader, so people like us can deploy whichever version we want of Android.

that's true I emailed the support for se and they replied that there will be no froyo update for the x10, x8 and x10 mini, the only update they will be doing is multitouch in the 1st quarter of 2011. so i guess we're stuck with the 2.1 software and rooting will be the least possible solution we can do

Shame for lazy Sony Ericsson developer guy, Samsung Galaxy Europe I5500 which has same CPU like X8 gets Froyo update, what reason for X8 can't get Froyo?
Sent from my E15i using Tapatalk

The reason maybe is the RAM memory x8 have 175 ram and others phone that have a official 2.2 update have 256+ ram ;[ maybe this is the reason. But i don't understand for x10 this phone have 368 ram and SE tell that the x10 will not get 2.2 update ... If SE don't make a update to 2.2 for x10 or x8 I will never buy SE phone again!

Everyone listen

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)

Android 2.3.4 heading to new Xperia handsets in October

The Android 2.3.3 update has already started to roll out in certain regions as reported yesterday. HDBlog.it is reporting that Italian users will see the Android 2.3.3 update in June (our guess would be next week), which is when it is most likely to roll out to other European countries.
Interestingly, they report that the Android 2.3.4 update will hit the new Xperia handsets in October. We can’t verify this for sure, but HDBlog.it says the information comes direct from Sony Ericsson Italy. Android 2.3.4 will introduce video chat in Google Talk as well as Google Maps 5.1 with 3D, Voice Search 2.1.1 with Voice Actions and personalized voice search, and the latest version of Google Books.

What does 2.3.4 offer new?

Visio in gtalk...
But we don't have face camera on Arc

Can't we already upgrade those Google apps? I'm looking forward to improvements in the OS itself. Any?

Mmm,i dont need facebook issues,but really need less camera compression..

good news indeed

Hope they sort out the wifi issues.

This is just a rumour. Nothing official until we hear it from SE.

IMO there's not much in 2.3.4 worth getting excited over on top of 2.3.3, we dont have a front facing camera, and we can already get the latest versions of google apps on the market.
More interesting would be any performance improvements, bugfixes and enhancements that also get incorporated into the new firmware.

first of all let countries such as INDIA get the 2.3.3 update and then maybe we can think about 2.3.4. its really frustrating to know that we are just left like that when ohter countries are getting it and not us.
This is just my opinion

Waiting for 2.3.4 even Arc no face camera i want to try vision on Gtalk

Sony Ericsson slow as usual. SE X10 mini was the last phone I ever bought and would never buy Sony again. They might leave you in middle and reply " sorry Dear customers, we have limited resources, Please be patient"

I don't think they are slow anymore. Arc was first phone with 2.3 after Nexus S.. And SE is as fast as other manufactors to deliever 2.3.3 to Arc..

A friend told me that Desire HD got 2.3.3 before the Arc... couldn't find a date anywhere, though. Not that it really matters, but has anyone more information on this?

Yes it did.. But arc got 2.3 before everything else (apart from nexus s)..
Sent from The arc using XDA premium..

I see, did mix up 2.3.3 and 2.3 then. Thanks. ^^

It brings support for dual core processors, but that's hardly of much use to the Arc.

Look forward to it

2.3.4 offers classic videocall?

I just want the wifi bug fixed.

For XperiaTM X10 mini, mini pro and X8 there are as communicated earlier no plans to update beyond the current Éclair version. There are two mains reasons for this: The XperiaTM X10 mini, X10 mini pro and X8 all have less RAM memory than XperiaTM X10. By this we can’t guarantee a good user experience by upgrading beyond Android 2.1. The upgrade of XperiaTM X10 also was made possible due to that we had a code base that mostly could be reused. For the mini’s, who have a different user interface, this possibility did not exist.

Max RAM i got with gingerbread is 90 MB and with froyo 111 MB,they skiped froyo,all their devices will run gingerbread so they dont want three devices run froyo,very simple.

But they want their devices to run Eclair? Yeah, hell lot of logic included...

I bet SE is lying again.lol

Hey guys,
I just checked my girlfriend's X8 has this latest software update available (start of July 2011). I think it's now the 3rd update or so, the first being Android 2.1, the second something with Nike-Chip and the ability to cut videos and an office suite.
But somehow I can't find details on what this current 3rd update does (though it's a pretty popular phone?)
Has anybody checked it out already? SE's Backup-And-Restore-App always screws up the contacts and calendar entries, so I would like to know if it's worth the pain.
Edit: Oh and it's a branding-and-simlock-free X8 from Amazon ;-)

SE is full of bull****! They won't update our devices to Android 2.2 because they don't want! I'm using the Froyobread rom and i have 94MB of ram free. If they don't know how to work on their own phones, simply deliver the development to jerpelea, racht, doixanh or anyone able enough!
