ICS 4.0.4 coming too :) - Xperia Arc General

According to the guy on sony blog 4.0.4 will be released too. Apparently they only pushed out 4.0.3 to make sure they are not late to the promised time frame. Heres the quote from his post.
We’re looking at all our user feedback and will continue to refine our software updates.
Our first update is Android 4.0.3 – Google released 4.0.4 when our release for Xperia arc S, neo V and ray was in final testing. As the difference to 4.0.3 is small, we released on 4.0.3 to deliver against our promised timings and to ensure we quality secured 4.0.4 – it will come in a further upgrade.

I hope they will release 4.0.4 for other 2011 xperia phones including arc and hope most bugs will be fixed in the next release

Good news as 4.04. has a few performance benefits
Stability improvements
Better camera performance
Smoother screen rotation
Improved phone number recognition

Still waiting to get my arc to ICS till further upgrade arrives.

End May eaely June for Arc
Be patient or flash the Arc S' update

I am waiting for arc update too but should be soon. Its now may so they will probably start releasing it from next week r end of this week im hoping.

It's a shame they pandered to the pathetic "want it now" cry babies and released 4.03. They should have released that as a RC and delayed the final 4.0.4
I don't have too many problems to be honest, the main issue for me in ICS on the Arc S is the huge delay loading phone and contacts. Sometimes upto 5 seconds showing a blank screen before the contacts and dialer appear.
I'm guessing this is the SQLLite DB performance problems that Sony were talking about...

where are you guys seeing this? and when do you think it'll be out ?

link?

Anyone that knows when this update will be rolled-out on the Nordic market, Sweden?

Isn't it possible to install other applications for the dialer and the contacts from the market?

Great to know we're not going to be abandoned and more releases are coming. I guess this won't happen soon though as they're still rolling out 4.0.3.

2.1 news

I heard today from a guy at a local store, that he heard from an inside source of SE that the reasons the update is takibg long is because they devepoperw are having lag issues caused by the increase in color denisity (65 thou to 16m), theyr working on optimizing hd recording where thyr trying to get higher fpses as well as optimization regarding 720p playback... other improvments that he mentioned where problems known in 1.6 such as low incall volume as well as the poor battery perfomance...and that the update might be posponed to late q4............ this is not an official source so its possible that some of he said if not all wasnt true i just hope the update will be worth the wait
I will be crushed if I have to wait till end of Q4
2.1 is outdated now , we need 2.2 like the rest of other devices
sony should do it fast there is lot of competition in the market like desire,xdroid etc
They should release what they have and fix any issues with updates.

Lemme tell ya, coming from a nexus one running 2.2 I was not impressed with it compared to 2.1. froyo was supposed to be such a big deal and to me nothing really changed. I'm Perfectly happy with my x10 now and ill be happier with 2.1....more so than I was with my nexus one with froyo.
That are bad news hope they will not come true. But on15.September HTC releases his desire hd. As soon as it is to buy here I will order it.
I'm wondering if I will get first 2.1 or the desire hd ?

Q4 now?
So I guess it's confirmed for release in early 2011. Can't wait.
Wow late quarter 4. Now sony is taking the piss if this is true.
They should skip SE customization in the first release and release with stock Android 2.2 without wasting more time to solve issues with their 2.1 release.
If this is true and 2.1 come end of Q4, it will only make SE look even worse than coming out with 1.6 now. By then all new Androids will probably already come with 3.0.

but lots of apps are changing their supprt to froyo including flashplayer and crome to phone , and using benchmark it indicates abig improvement in speed over 2.1
Nothing official yet anyway. Still looking at end of September. They would be shooting themselves in the foot by delaying, especially in light of the at&t release.

So, if I told you a story about how some dude on the subway today was like "The update for 2.1 was delayed until Q2 2011" would you believe me?
Not exciting. All hearsays. I'm already desensitized.
why are people bothered about the SE 2.1 when we have some of the best dev's known on the task of getting us to 2.2???
dont live your lifes waiting for a SE 2.1 as chances are you will get more and more wound up about it.
I think Sony Ericsson should just release a clean Android 2.1/2.2 for our device and then later on one with their custom UI and let the users decide what type they want on their device in the future.

[Official] ICS coming to 2011 Xperia™ from end March/early April 2012

Here is Official Product Blog
With the holiday season around the corner, we’re happy to confirm that the first 2011 Xperia™ smartphones will be upgraded to Android 4.0 starting from end March/early April 2012. The first smartphones to get the upgrade are Xperia™ arc S, Xperia™ neo V and Xperia™ ray. Soon after, starting from end April/early May, Xperia™ arc, Xperia™ PLAY, Xperia™ neo, Xperia™ mini and mini pro, Xperia™ pro, Xperia™ active as well as Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman™ will get their upgrades.
Click to expand...

End of April the earliest?
It makes no sense to give the update later to the original Neo. It's a more expensive phone that the Neo V and it's more similar to the Arc (S). Also the original Arc is second priority to them.
And everyone here at XDA are starting to enjoy SE ICS alpha already, with AOSP coming soon after. If 4.0.3 being legit, we might have that by end of this week. Dont get me wrong, I love the support from SE but the official roll out for the public could be faster.
If it's that late, it means that they're going to make some serious improvements. I guess I can wait.
What I'm guessing is that they are working on a new set of ICS apps for their 2012 ICS line-up of phones, which will probably launch starting February to April. Then they will port those apps and ICS onto the 2011 line-up.
I've been pretty content with the SE apps like music, contacts, calendar, etc so yes, I would agree - improved, ICS optimized versions of those apps would definitely worth the wait.
Keep pushing near-AOSP alpha/beta builds to the developers and we can have the best of both worlds. Proud SE customer.
april huh? well, i think i can wait..
for now, let's just enjoy gingerbread

From what I gather, most phones will get ICS around that time.
For example, SGS II ir rumored to get it at Q2 2012.
There's already an alpha officially published and another version leaked
so I hope we will have some ROMs to play around until then.
Some additional features by Sony Ericsson coming in ICS release
- We’re looking into making it possible to create groups in the list of contacts.
- We’re planning to ship both the Ice Cream Sandwich vanilla gallery app and our own Sony Ericsson gallery app. They both include some great features, so it will be up to you to use the one which fits your needs best.
- It is our intention to include the popular swipe to write feature, currently available in our Gingerbread software.
Open source archive is also available now -
http://developer.sonyericsson.com/wp/2011/12/22/thanks-for-the-feedback/
i guess they wanna sell new ICS phone before releasing it to rest of us..
but thats just a monrh before google release a new android
From all their recent actions I gather that they have started showing great respect to users. Releasing HAL as open source will vastly help our devs.

I, too, would love a spanking-new UI to go with ICS, but judging by the alpha ROM they released recently, I don't think it's likely.

Q1 is the release date for ics official by samsung not Q2.
mpf.. i don't really care about waiting IF they hold up on what they are promising.. the alpha rom just has the old boring launcher but i think it won't be present in ics.. i guess when they release it half a year after the source code got released there MUST be really major improvements so guys: just WAIT !

People need to get a grip. It was always going to be end March/begining April for those handsets, it's been moved a a WHOLE 2 WEEKS...
What is wrong with people??? They should be happy they are getting their ICS in two weeks from now, rather than crying into their milk.
I totaly agree with you. Mind you I don't mind I'm already on ICS as of this morning for my Xperia Arc

Only for three out of the eleven handsets. The rest have a month delay - that is not insignificant.
For sure someone would make a patch to use arc s ics update to arc.
Mid-April it is.
Oh no, please not this again. I had this over at the Asus Transformer thread and some of the comments people left just stunned me. Luckily so far these forums seem much more forgiving!
Here's the way I see it, firstly, 2 weeks is nothing. The update is coming, that's grand. 2 weeks wait is fine, you won't even notice.
Secondly, the phones work just fine with GB. There's no big bugs, everything works swimmingly. ICS will bring some tastey new features, and that's great, but I think we should accept a delay for extra features on top of some already pretty brilliant phones.
I can only sit here and hope that the Arc community is more forgiving than the TF forum. Obviously not everyone was bad, but there was a LOT of very angry posts over there, and every single one made me facepalm in the name of extreme first world problems.
I'm looking forward to the update, and I'm sure the wait will fly by
must say i find it quite bizarre with the bells and whistles of the new Xperia S, that it it the last in line for the update. Quite odd. If i was Sony trying to push people to buy it, i would give it the update first.
I just want it to be ICS 4.0.4

End May or early June for Xperia Arc --> bye bye Sony for me
X10 times are back, at the end it will come in 6 months.
Be ashamed Sony!
I'm pissed because Sony said the want to keep up with updates, at first they did that.
But then they stopped at 2.3.4 and even 120€ 600MHz Samsung devices are on 2.3.6.
Then they said that they won't update the kernel to 3.0 to oush it out faster.
Samsung and HTC did update the kernel to 3.0 and are pushing out 4.0 already!
kuya
maganda ba ang ics 4 dude...?
well
i tried the ICS beta ROMS
all of them are buggy in terms of gaming performance, almost all games are laggy, random blank screen would show up, etc.
also all 2011 xperia devices has very few RAM and i feel it's not enough on ICS, even music player+whatsapp would cause the launcher to redraw (even it's supercharged= =).
so I think Sony has to do more tweaks and programming before they roll out the updates, if they have talented engineer
and Sony also says ICS “may impact performance in some user scenarios” OMG Sony you should have given the devices more RAM.
but.. end of May to early June.. I am pissed off.
I still don't understand why arc s, ray and neo v can update first.. anyway, i will think these 3 phones are bug-testers
People have always said that ICS came between 15marts - 15 april for Arc S?

Dude, just flash LT18's ftf when it's available.
EDIT: Samsung's firmwares are not as good as Sony/SE's, trust me. On the other hand, HTC's are as solid as ours.
Yeah, I know that and I'll do that. But anyways, they shouldn't forget the Arc.
And normal users won't flash other firmwares on their devices, which will make these guys angry
I hope we'll see arconium on official ICS, too

I find it incredible that someone smart enough to buy and xperia is too stupid too seriously that the other handsets dates haven't moved, they were never first in lime to get them. The only need here is the first batch are delays by a whole 14 days. Not big deal. I'm happy to have news, we should be thanking Sony for keeping us informed rather than *****ing about thingd

Xperia PLAY R800x Verizon Update Coming April 30th, 67mb

just saw this part..
If you don't have one of the aforementioned Androids, fret not. There are a few others (listed below) that have updates in testing, although it's not specified if the updates are to Ice Cream Sandwich.
HTC Thunderbolt- update in testing, OTA scheduled for May 10th
Droid Bionic- update in testing, OTA scheduled for May 3rd
Xperia Play- update in testing, OTA scheduled for April 30th
Galaxy Tab 10.1- update in testing, OTA scheduled for May 3rd
LG Revolution- update in testing, OTA scheduled for May 16th
With any luck, we'll see some of these updates being rolled out over the next few weeks. I'd be willing to bet that at least one of them gets pulled because of bugs, but we can't all be perfect. More on this as it develops.
I believe the reason for so soon os Verizon does not use TimeScape but uses vanilla android.... so other then the SE framework... i am sure it make the development part easier...
Hmmm, but it says:
"...although it's not specified if the updates are to Ice Cream Sandwich."
I guess we'll just hope for the best.

Thats true.
Seeing how easy it is to port CM9 to CDMA compared to the ICS Beta, I can see why it would be coming this early.
But also, it mentions it would be one of the first Verizon phones to get an ICS Update. (Well, it was the first Verizon GB Phone )
I guess we will just have to wait till Tuesday to find out

As far as no OTAs are concerned, Sony did say they weren't pushing them. That doesn't necessarily mean that Verizon isn't able to do one themselves. After all, CDMA wasn't supported in the beta, so maybe Sony has handed us over for good?

Sony should concentrate on finishing 4.0.4 and making a final release rather than releasing the current version of ics. Arc users will appreciate that much more, I think.

It's a nice idea to give Arc user a first look, but 4.0.3 it's still unstable in Arc, that's why they should finish 4.0.4 and then make it available to our phones. I still prefer custom roms, they seem to be working better.
we know how 4.0.3 is...but wat about the people who are not on xda forum? normal people who dunno anything about rooting or bootloader unlocking..or who dont want to do..actually they dont care whether its 2.3.4 or 4.0.3..but atleast for the name sake sony should release watever they have worked on ICS till now so that whole arc family can eat ice cream sandwich

i have lt15i and LT15i .69 firmware, just a moment ago i connected my xperia to pc companion and it wants me to update to newer firmware, i wonder if it is ics already?

Trust me when I say that most everyday people will regret the ics update as it is now.
First . Camera video is not what it used to be. Most everyday people get the arc for the camera abilities.
Second. Games are pretty much screwed in ics. All I have now is angry bird and cut the rope.
Take some time to think about it. Will everyday non developers really appreciate ics ??

i dont know how sony worked on ICS..seriously sony should learn something from HTC...look at HTC desire C..it has just 600MHz processor..but still ICS runs very smooth on it..
now sony shouldnt delay more..they had their time..its been very late..in few months jelly beans will be released..

Guys stop whining about the ICS release. Guys like you ( no offence) wanted ICS to roll out very soon. People on xda wanted ICS to be released as it was under development. but when it was released people started whining about tje release has bugs. Please give Sony sometime to fix these issues.
HTC hmm. The htc incredible s which had a scheduled ics update last month didn't get anything. Htc is a fool if it is rolling out ics updates for outdated and non deserving devices earlier than their 2011 lineup. Even sensation series has not got the ics updates ATM.

They already promised ICS for 2011 Xperia phones.
Also, Sony Mobile is a much smaller team compared to HTC, Samsung and the likes so you can't expect the same stuff in the same duration.
