wow 2.3.3 thx

I have some questions
1) What essentially is the difference between Froyo and Gingerbread?
2) Is is just a software upgrade or also a firmware update?
3) Is the procedure same as flashing a firmware?
4) Is 2.3.3 the latest version?

No, he didn't, it just have been approved!

I hope the official update could make the camera work better and deal with some other small troubles. maybe the cm9.0 from FXP will be a better choose. your think?who knows the real day of releasing cm9.0.

These restart issues you experience [Xperia Neo V] may be caused by an unexpected memory behavior and for this a new software release (4.0.2.A.0.6x) will be made available to improve the memory management. This goes for Xperia neo V and some other phone models with similar software.
The roll out of this is planned to start early next year - but please note that a software release depends on operator approval and timeline. All will not get it at the same time and I currently have no way to foresee when certain phones will get it.
The software will be made available via both PC Companion and FOTA (if supported by your operator).

4.1.B.1.13 System Dump

Hi XDA!
After half a year Sony released the Firmware [4.1.B.1.13 ; Android 4.0.4] with just minor changes and shamed theirself again, because they fixed not even one bug. But it´s my assignment to do something for XDA, so I made a system dump of this firmware to download for everyone. You can download it here:
If you can´t download from Mediafire, use unrestrict.li or kindly PM me for a mirror.

PS: It was also work to do this, so please press the Thanks button!:highfive::highfive:
