soon. i was contact today sony talk suport .
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.

you are right but they should release the 4.0.3 for arc users to have a look of ics
bec there was no update after the .62 firmware which came 2 months back

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?
i will post back in few half an hour when i flash it.

guys i was talking about this only!!!
thanks arpith.fbi
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 ??

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 Htc is a fool if it is rolling out ics updates for outdated and non deserving devices earlier than their 2011 lineup.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.

I watch Google i/o all the time and they did say that they will be releasing it for low spec phones. But the problem is SE. They wont want to spend money on a phone from last year so I hate to say it. The X10 will not get 4.0 ICS officially but unofficially yes we will.

Sent from my Blade
I hope it can become a reality in our x10 ... Our devs have done a great job. By Sony Ericsson we can't expect anything because they said they will not upgrade beyond 2.3, remember that they said the same thing with the upgrade to 2.1 and now we have our phones with 2.3
I'm fine with SE not releasing 4.0 for the X10. It's an old phone and I don't expect SE to bankrupt themselves just to do so. Gingerbread is pretty robust and there's a huge number of apps that work with it, it's not going anywhere for a while. I think the only other phone from that Android era that will get 4.0 is maybe the Nexus One.
However, since the '11 Xperia range *is* getting ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich), they are probably going to use the same kernel (2.3.32 - based on their prior history). With that said; Their's absolutely no reason why the devs won't be able to port ICS to the X10 (unless if Google does a 180 and doesn't release the source code - like they had with Honeycomb). As far as an official 4.0 for the X10, I doubt it and there's no reason to get anyone's hopes up or else we're going to have another full on XDA SE X10 revolt like before, haha.
It can change but I think ICS will see the X10 only through the devs.

The x10 now has a unlocked bootloader.
So it may be possible for someone to port it.

If 4.0 launches in December then we may have to wait till march

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

Not surprising actually since stock ICS didn't run that well on my Arc S i think... I am now back on GB and the phone feels alright again.
I see it like this:
GB = Windows XP
ICS = Windows Vista
JB = Windows 7 (Hopefully)
I understand why they don't want to give us JB. It's impossible to play games on ICS and it's not really stable and lagfree.
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app
how sad..
ive just feel the jeelly bean on nexus 7 and the ics on s3 really almost no difference its like its been tweak. so why not use it for arc?
If sony gives us 4.1, would u buy the 2012 xperia phones?
Think about it, its all market strategies...
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
I don´t see that comment as an official statement but if it so i can say that my arc s is very very well on 4.0.4 i would just like some improvements on ram issues also hope more upgrades from sony i have 27 games installed on my arc s and all of them are perfectly playable
its beacause they loose money paying the developers to bringthe update, thats the reason why we cant get official jb... but ours arc/s of course can run jb
Seeing that the ICS for the U and P are still on their way, I think JB for the 2011 line is almost impossible. They won't have time to pull the magic. So it's quite an expected statement rather than an outright disappointment for me. Glad they're stating it early and not just let users waiting in vain. At least we know what's coming.

The Arc S released for about 1 year ago. It's hard, but thats the destiny if you don't buy a Nexus phone.
And, after I read the blog, I would say, the Xperia S will not be updated to 4.1... Thats my opinion...
Sony is releasing to many phones right now, and their Flagships have outdated software and hardware ( The Ion)
I got the arc because of the sexy design and camera
Always it's about SONY's market strategy.
All I can say is that a coworker received OTA the day before yesterday 4.1.1 JB on his Samsung Google Nexus S, which has almost same specs like Arc. :crying:
I couldn't make up my mind, which OS is better. Gingerbread or ICS.
So I did some real life testing by flashing it several times each after other. And using it.
My conclusion. ICS is significantly faster then GB. Yes it is. Period!!
I'm having GB right now on my Arc S with doomlord's kernel and ICS on stock kernel is faster!! That's it.
Gingerbread is smoother in scrolling and moving inside home. Smoother but not faster.
And some games/apps are not ICS compatible or updated and that is issue for early adopter.
Also, Sony bugged LED notifications and LockScreen notifications that could be corrected on ICS easily by applying already available mods. And sony could improve it easily if they want to.
And JB make smoother scrolling and moving around (touch) on ICS core. That's Google's official explanations (there are more features inside, yes I know).
So we must have it!
Fact what guy in UK sad, are not final. If we make big enough protest, they will do it for Arc S, Neo V and Ray. And then and Arc and Neo owners could use it as they did with ICS 4.0.3.
And please, do NOT compare ICS and JB on 4 core chips. Yes everything is very smooth on them.
Also, since I own and HTC android phone, see what's going with HTC.
They f.cked up Desire owners (me), now and Desire HD owners. And look at their last report. No money even for a fair trade in domestic Taiwan.
And I'm sure there will be JB for Arc/Arc S. At least from FreeXperia.
Just after one major laggy update and sony already stopping update for arc..
So how about Xperia Neo L? No Jelly Bean, too? It is a 2012 phone but the same with the 2011 Xperia phones.
Let's see if their below 1GHz phones will get Jelly Bean (miro, tipo)
It is acceptable but a bit disappointing.
Sent from my LT15i using xda app-developers app
Sony would be rolling out JB preferably for 2011 devices as jb requires the same config as on ICS. If you remember the days of Xperia X10 Sony wasn't going to release GB for it but due to user protests X10 was given official support for GB. This may be the case for Xperia 2011 portfolio..
cyanogen team has said, that device capable running ICS, will be capable running JB too.
so it must be SONY's marketing strategy related, Nexus S got similiar spec with Arc, and still can handle ICS better than our Arc.
hope that FXP will continue updating our arc to CM10, or at least CM9 that runs as smooth as Nexus S ICS. :fingers-crossed:
this is bad news for me i have arc and i'm dissapointed because arc will not have jelly bean
If this is true, i will never buy another Sony phone NEVER AGAIN.
I miss the Sonyericsson brand, SONY clearly SUCKS now.
I think that the ICS update is so laggy because of their software! Roms like JJ doctor AOSP Rom is super smooth (even with stock kernel). Sony should have make a better work for our 2011 xperia devices....
Sent from my LT18i using xda app-developers app
yup.. its a dirty market strategy...trust me guys i have used 4.1...it is far btr than ICS..our arc will be damn smooth if we get 4.1...they just want us to buy a new phone..
from wat i heard dere is a lil chance of arc s getting the update..if the above is official then there is no chance..
sony is a sinking ship is all products..it was running lil fine in smartphone industry...looks like this industry is also going to die for them!!
Info suggesting no 2011 Xperias would get Jelly Bean was given "in error."
In a statement on its official product blog, Sony has reassured Xperia smartphone owners that it's still in the process of investigating which of its devices will receive updates to Android 4.1 Jelly Bean. The statement follows earlier reports, originating from one the company's own Facebook pages that 2011 Xperia handsets like the Xperia Arc and Xperia Mini Pro would not be getting updated.
The manufacturer said --
"During a Q&A session last week on our Sony Mobile GB Facebook page, a local spokesperson gave information out in error on our Android 4.1 Jelly Bean software development and rollout for 2011 Xperia smartphones.
"We are actively investigating Android OS upgrades for all devices, but in the meantime, our Ice Cream Sandwich rollout for Xperia S and 2011 Xperia smartphones continues as planned."

I think that too ,JB is not a major update just a few performance tweaks here and there.
Maybe its just a marketing strategy to make people buy Sony phones and then in the end moment they'll disregard the 2011 devices.

Sony(Ericsson) Did not disregard their customers from updates, Sony is one of manufacturers who's really into updating their Portfolio to the latest Android versions, look at their Update History compared to any manufacturers
2010
X8/X10mini: 1.6 > 2.1.1
X10: 1.6 > 2.1.1 > 2.3.2
2011
Xperia/Live: 2.3.2 > 2.3.3 > 2.3.4 > 4.0.3 > 4.0.4 > 4.1(?)
2012
Xperia: 2.3.7 > 4.0.4 > 4.1(?)
Right now, 2011 Xperia is one of the most updated Android Phones out there, and I believe they can be updated to 4.1
Awsome PR!!

My nexus S got 2x faster and smoother with jelly bean. My mums arc S on ICS is faster than nexus S on ICS but not the nexus S on JB. That tells you how significant a thing jelly bean is it is designed to make every phone smoother not just the high end ones. If nexus S with 512MB ram can run it so well then the arc S surely deserves it. it will become a beast with jelly bean.
Let's hope Sony don't make a mess of it. Official ICS hardly fills me with confidence!

Sorry for being a noob, but what is hdpi and mdpi?
Sent from my LT18i using xda premium
hdpi is 480x854, so it means Arc/S, Neo/V, Play, Ray or Pro
mdpi is 320x480 so Active, Live, Mini/Pro
Press Thanks if I helped.

And you miss the most important thing...
We were glad to provide the Android 4.0.4 upgrade for our 2011 Xperia portfolio across most markets and the majority of models but, after thorough evaluation, we have concluded they will not be upgraded beyond Ice Cream Sandwich.
Beyond Ice Cream Sandwich we would not able to guarantee owners of these smartphones the user experience you expect and we demand. We will however, continue to support all these products with firmware maintenance releases.

Seriously, my phone runs much smoother in JB than on ICS... Thnk you SONY -.-
Seriously Sony's multimillionaire software department can't make a good JB firm for Neo/Arc/S and can do it for Xperia J?
Disappointing but expected news. I'm personally not surprised. It's most likely for marketing. And anyways it's been almost 2 years already since their release. I guess Sony wants everyone to buy their current and future lineup of Xperias.
We should also be thankful that Sony upgraded our phones to ICS. LG isn't even upgrading their 2011 phones as far as I know.
Sony Mobile isn't as big as Samsung or HTC. Cut them some slack.

Did not miss that. Everybody knows that the 2011 wont get updated.

So, first you moan because Sony doesn't give out an update.
Then, if an update is released, then you moan even more about all the little problems it has.
They are not your slaves. Give them time to work, you are not the only customers out there. Besides, your phone is not the only one there.
But atleast they should have update arc s to jb isnt 1.4 ghz enough for jb wtf they was saying that they are checking the devices etc.
Fully crap i just bought arc s its still in market and here i am with no jb update
I should have bought s2 instead
I wont buy sony now in future

I only don't understand why they don't upgrade the arc s... But I think this is the biggest problem with android. Look to samsung, the sgs plus was released almost the same time as the arc s, has similar parts and price and didn't even got ics...
I think the problem is that Sony is lazy to do the JB upgrade. JB requires same requirements as ics the only down side is the 512 mb memory but other phone with the same phone power will still deliver the JB hope they can get back in there word qnd deliver JB to us.

I hope it to, but i don't think so...
No excuses for Sony really they could provide codes so developers can port JB into older devices unless we launch a huge outrage just like the X10 fiasco.

Well....this was expected! Not upset because I think Sony has one of the best firmware update services in the market. Just personally realized that it's time to start saving for LG Nexus!

Beyond Gingerbread we weren't able to give owners of these smartphones the user experience you expect and we demand.

FTFY, Sony.
So...are there any phones that could actually replace my Pro? :/
Will buy Optimus G.. Etc not xperia T, had enough crappy Sony screens, low performance and bad camera (in some situations) will sell xperia t

Best way is ..more of us ...to don't buy any sony phone ,because they take this fkkk solution ....not to give us ..the owner of 1.4 GHz ..sony device ..a taste of JB...., that's shame ...
I will sell my device and bye a decent phone....( to have 1GB RAM , front facing camera , enough internal storage .., not like this ..420 MB...., and also a decent battery .) , because I don't want to spend all my money to bye a new phone ..every 5 months ...
This is why I'm getting a Samsung phone next year. Samsung's flagship model from 2011 got JellyBean. and what is more pathetic, JB is incomparably smoother and faster than ICS.
time to change brand!
Well, the last few weeks I've been confused whether my next device will be a Nexus, a Lumia or an Xperia,
now I just need to choose between the first two
(Not that Lumia will surely provide better support, I want to know how good/bad is WP8 through experience, I'll keep the arc S though, still the sexiest phone I've ever had)
