Everyone wondering that website is a good source it has listed a huge amount of firmware before release.
So mabye they pushed it out then canceled it ? Or they actually are bringing a ics update but don't put your hops up.
this is something they leaked before - http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/12/0...-neo-3-0-1-b-0-285-certified-for-xperia-play/

what !!!
please don't kidding me again !

PTCRB is the one that certified all the firmware. If it is passed by PTCRB, then it is ready for release. Correct me if i'm wrong though

You are correct. This is an ICS version (4.1.#) so looks good for play. Has anyone contacted Sony to find out more yet? ??

i've tried to contact Sony but just cant connect to their chat support..
maybe someone else can try and report here..

When you see Fw appear on that site it's normally around 2 weeks till it gets rolled out. But we need to find out if it is real deal. Doubt this is a typo or mistake so looking good so far, will get on to Sony see if we can dig up some more info

Sony support chat seems to be down all i get is a white screen.

Thanks a lot
Maybe they've resolved the touchpad issue with other devs (Gameloft, EA etc).

Well i give up.. i just cant seem to connect to Sony chat support..
but i hope it's ICS because 4.1.* seems to be ICS on other Sony phone.
and i got bored with GB..

It is an ICS FW that is on that list same as the 4.0.4 release for arc. just wrote a quick article if want to see the arc version number (screenshot) http://www.xperiagamer.com/Blog3/ics-for-play-gets-certified.html

woot!!
hopely it will roll out soon

SO excited

I am from India...didn't got the update yet
Nothing yet on UK Generic (rooted). Maybe because I have bloatware frozen (although I'm not sure if the update not showing up has any affect on that).
R800i, 2.3.3, 4.0.A.2.368 (full hebrew support, so i guess it's israeli version[?]).
still no update.

I recommend you don't try it yet. I can't say for sure but since the R800a and r800i can flash their firmwares interchangeably I don't see why it wouldn't work for the r800at.
OK. Also, when trying to flash this, I can't seem to get into fastboot mode. It just takes me to the charging battery screen. I hold down the search button when plugging in the USB.
Sent from my R800at using xda premium
hold it down about half a seconds before you put in the usb. also, you need to be holding the back button for flashtool, the search key is for fastboot
Their us an tft file already if you want to flash it on your phone. Its somewhere on the android development section for the xperia play.

Nice! Will check this out later on!
Did you actually try it? So long as the video is 720p @ 30fps constant then I'm happy!
By the way, what other improvements/fixes does the new update offer? Any performance/speed increase?
I'm at work now & unable to update till I get home.

Come on guys, no one answered my question with regards to the sound.
Is the sound just as loud as the previous 2.3.3?
Is the xLOUD still there? If not is there any way to get it?
What else is new in the update? Is it worth updating?
Reason I'm asking is because I've only just updated to 2.3.3 and it's great in every way.
I understand the video camera has been greatly improved however I never use the camera and therefore not too bothered about 720p.
Reason I bought my Xperia Play was to game!
So, is the new update worth it or not and why.
Thanks guys & girls...

If by incompatible you mean they are not working, that's not true. I think the only one I found not working is Viber. Although I haven't searched that much.

I searched several threads to find i am repeating a post

I don't think it'll release on March 1. The way the betas are going. It might be mid March or so.
If it is true, 10 days left for me. BTW this like the 756th thread on this news...
About the app it's silly, all new-updated app makes update available for ICS 4.0, due to regulations for customers that bought already app.
And, as far as i know, 1 march =100% fully working stock rom with ICS, Samsung have been given before beta's already, now is the time for Sgs2 ICS
Great news if it does nothing else than speed up a full CM9 release

I agree with DdcCabuslay, maybe, we'll just get Walkman app, like Xperia J and such, that would be really nice. As long as they give a smoother UI, I'm happy.

If you haven't yet received the update that's most likely your carriers problem, most of the ppl here got it already... sorry mate. :-\
Sony has already confirmed that Xperia Z and in fact all their current flagships will receive 4.3. The only question is when?

When isn't even a question to be asking at this point, could be a few months to potentially six months or a year until we get it, while they're streamlining their processes to get you the software, enjoy 4.2.2 for a bit!

Funny thing. The unbranded Xperia z got updates later then the branded one. And flashing an ftf is basically the same as doing the official update. In either case u use a flashtool or sony companion. Same thing basically.. So ur complain about it is so what wrong. Because in either case ur phone needs to be hooked up to the pc mac or whatever to update.

The point is we shouldn't have to we don't want special treatment we just want the same as everyone else.
If my phone broke under warranty would Sony say your phone is UK unbranded fix it yourself? I don't think so.
I just don't swallow their lies quite as easy as some people do.
What has any of this got to do with the subject of this thread?

Well ok I see. For me it wasn't a big deal because like I said no matter if my phone would have told me there is an update I still would have to hook it up to my laptop install sony companion and then update. Basically the same as installing flashtool and then flashing an ftf. So both end up being the same step to update. And one question are u able to root the 244 update? And what makes it better then the 423 update?

The .224 I believe is much quicker and smoother It's sorted out allot of the lag you get with .423.
Yes it can be rooted Doomlord sorted it out. It's a bit of a rigmarole but it works.
If your not on it try it its definitely better.

Yeah not on it yet didn't feel like rooting it. As u just mention I saw that there is a root for this version but right now I am kinda lazy to do all that stuff right now. But I am pretty sure I will pretty soon update to that version. Or maybe skip until 4.3. Not sure.

It has lots to do with it. Sony are spouting on about all these update and we in the UK aren't getting any.
and I'm certainly not gonna kiss Sony butt they've given us nothing and I'm gonna tell everyone I can including Sony on this open forum and others how much they suck so people can make a clear and informed decision before being duped into buying their products.
It is pointless complaining and some of us are sick and tired of every single thread regarding updates being infested with it. Even unrelated threads about Android 4.3 such as this one.
1. Go to Sony's support forum and complain there. Nobody here really cares or can help you with your 'problem'.
2. You are on a development site. Any update is available here minutes after it's released, negating the need to whine about it not being available for your region.
Just as an aside, I am also from the UK. I simply flashed another regions software when 423 was released and moved on. I will be updating to the latest software this afternoon. No pointless complaining from my part.

Sony announced that 4.3 will be available 'early August'. We all know what early means
