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.

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...

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Sony is releasing to many phones right now, and their Flagships have outdated software and hardware ( The Ion)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.

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!!

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

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.

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!

So what do you think guys, Sony by saying "all" seems to lock them again into a promise they can't possibly break the third time and further piss all pissed Xperia users again.
Are you guys hoping for a possible Jelly Bean update at least to the Xperia PLAY?

From where did you read JB is an upgrade to ICS? :laugh:
All I read was that JB was to bring in more performance in addition to ICS features, so that basically means you don't need to be on ICS to have JB.
Think of it as GB=WindowsXP; ICS=WindowsVista; and JB=Windows7:
GB is fast but looks like turd, ICS looks awesome but slow, and JB looks awesome but fast. From that analogy, you can always upgrade from XP straight to Se7en, thus, you can always upgrade from GB to JB granting the manufacturer grants it.

He's more on about the reasons of why Xperia Play didn't get ICS, gaming compatibility, JB won't change that, just adds to the problem of fragmentation.
Hardware/Software that's not supported in Vista wouldn't suddenly work in Windows 7.
Ending point is Google need to enforce some damn policies to stop the android fragmentation, I mean Sony launching phones in 2012 with GB is unforgivable.
Nah there we'l be no official jb for play...maybe other xperia phones but not the play so don't be getting your hopes up
Well. The devs of this forum managed to get touchpads to work properly on ics. So, I think that we should get an official update. If the dev's can make a stable rom with working touchpads, then sony can too! It will also perform a lot better on JB. We should make a petition!

The ICS update was killed because games for our phone our NOT updated to work with ICS. We can thank the likes of GameLoft, EA, etc....
ICS was NOT killed because Sony couldnt figure out how to get touchpads working on ICS....... it was all because of poor gaming performance due to non-updated games.

I think it's a little rash to assume that because Sony use the word "all" they actually mean all of them. What are they supposed to say, "all but the Xperia Play?" Or maybe list out every single phone that they actually plan on still supporting? All they have to do is say, "Well, sorry guys, we tried, but we didn't guarantee that it would work in the first place."
Honestly, stop expecting/hoping Sony to support this phone in an official manner and support the people in the community that have already done much more than Sony was willing to.
Sony should have at least released a finished version of ICS to us devs here but no.... they were scared away by not as many games working on ICS..... Well guess what? It's My phone and I should decide if I want the upgrade. Not someone else. As for JB, they should have at least come out and said "no we won't upgrade X phones". It would get us mad but not mad upset and angry for taking our hopes away...
I think the xperia play, can have jelly beam because jelly beam has more fluid that ics
That magic word "ALL" is for all Sony phones. Play is SE so don't count.
My missis has Experia Arc and guess what no ICS there either bur Arc S has...
What Sony doesn't realize is, if this gets jb, or even ics, the sales will go WAY up! That means more game companies will update! And they can ALWAYS have a
"we cannot guarantee a solid gaming environment, or that pre owned games will continue to run on your xperia play. Clicking 'I accept' will continue the update."
I would update! All I care about is minecraft (which is still gonna update) and emulators!
Point is, Sony is being stupid. We need to tell them that we want a nice, clean update, and that the game makers will follow their suit. And even if they don't, others will MAKE MORE GAMES! The ONLY thing I want other than jelly bean in general is more app space.
I'm pretty sure Sony will come in for us. I'm running a JB Rom and all games work fine. Sony just needs to work harder. Also yes minecraft does update more frequently now so yes they would add support for 4.0+

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.

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 think they will get over it
Cheers
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)
Hai guys.
I recently found a page on web that android kitkat is going to be updated for most of the xperia phones
i linked it.[/CENTER]

Android 4.4 KitKat will support more phones and tablets including ones which already aged long ago. Know the HTC, LG, Samsung and Sony Android devices which are eligible to Google's new Android OS.
HTC Smartphones
HTC smartphones are well known for its Sense UI which is virtually lagless compared with other Android devices out there. HTC imparted powerful hardware components and premium materials to promote stability and elegance. Certain HTC phones are qualified to get Android 4.4 KitKat and hopefully the company can push software upgrades to them soon.
1. The One Family including HTC One, HTC One X and HTC One X+
2. New Desire family released in 2013
3. Desire line up including Desire X and Desire V
4. DROID DNA, HTC J and Butterfly
Most of these devices have at least 512 MB of RAM and runs Android 4.1 Jelly Bean OS. Android 4.4 KitKat has been speculated to feature Linux kernel 3.8 for low-memory requirements.
LG Smartphones
Several models from the LG Optimus line are qualified to run Android 4.4 KitKat with at least 512 MB of RAM. Some of these units include:
1. G2
2. Nexus 4
3. Optimus L7, L5 and L3
4. Optimus G and G Pro
5. Optimus VU
LG remains quite if when they are going to push Jelly Bean updates to their smartphones and still unclear when they will announce official KitKat release.
Samsung Galaxy Line
Samsung's vast smartphones and tablets line up are expected to receive Android 4.4 KitKat as well. However, the company seems to stagger updates on their devices due to overpopulation.
1. Galaxy S4 line: Galaxy S4 original, Zoom and Active
2. Galaxy S line: Galaxy S3 and S2
3. Galaxy Note: Note phablets and Note tablets
4. Galaxy Mega 5.8 and 6.3
5. Galaxy Tab: Galaxy Tab 3, Galaxy Tab 2 and Galaxy Tab 1
6. Mid-range devices such as Galaxy Young, Galaxy Fame, Galaxy Mini and Galaxy Ace
Samsung recently decided to skip Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean on Galaxy S3 and instead will push Android 4.3 to save time and effort. The company may also release Android 4.1 Jelly Bean to selected device but it remains unclear which one and when.
Sony Xperia Smartphones
Sony Xperia phones feature combined multimedia applications and Exmor camera sensors with fast processors from Qualcomm. The Japanese tech company is now developing Android 4.3 Jelly Bean for selected Xperia phones which be pushed primarily on the Xperia Z family. Android 4.4 KitKat is expected soon to arrive to the following devices:
1. Xperia Z family: Z original, ZR, ZL, Z Ultra and Z1 Honami
2. Xperia tablet S and tablet Z
3. Xperia mid-range phones: Xperia M, C, SP, L, S, SL, U and many more
Sony mobile devices are commonly equipped with 512 MB of RAM and a single-core Qualcomm processor.
IMHO this isn't going to happen.
As you can see, Sony has never mentioned 2011 Xperia's for Jelly Bean updates, as they were made by Sony and Ericsson and since the partnership has been dissolved I do not think they will update some "dead" phones.

no way !
if sony doesn't, Cyanogenmod will
I believe that if possible, Cyanogenmod based on 4.4 will be available, though i have not read the cyanogen wiki / news about this recently.
if its compatible, then it would be nice to have 4.4 on this device.
I use to have an Xperia Play and I'm incredibly doubtful that you will ever get 4.4 even with custom roms. Awesome phone when I had it but it never even had ICS.
Currently have a Galaxy S3 and probably going to get a Xperia Z1 next.
hope it comes true )
actually someone posted on Android Development Thread wrote that he may do it for our xperia play.

OP just adding links to built from source roms as they rollout the official updates and wait for an official CM release.
The guy that mentioned xperia play only had 5 posts (so he's not a developer). I think you confused his broken English thinking he was saying xperia play 4.4 soon, when really he was asking for it to be done soon. It's typical for new members who don't know the rules or what's going on in development for the device. 4.4 isn't coming to XP, at least not until we can get more devs behind it, it's not even being worked on as far I know. I hope that clears things up.

if there will be a 4.4 xperia arc rom, can be ported to xperia play as many roms we have? android 4.4 work great with 512mb ram devices

we only need a working kernel.. once that's done.. we will get a working ROM asap. our kernel is Mid way.. just a little bit more and we are done.
Our kernel development is stopped as our main developer is not able to get touchscreen fixed and nobody else got it working. I honestly think that we will never have android 4.4, not even custom made @xda :<

Well the device never even made it to Jellybean and only got a beta for ICS. Gingerbread is what this device was made for. It runs beautifully with it.

You should try wubi (ubuntu installer on windows) but yeah, if it was that simple to build a kernel then everyone would have done it
