ICS for 2011 Xperia series

Bad news guys. SE delayed the update for the phones. Now we have to wait another month or two.
Really sad and bad news for all 2011 Xperia owners.
Sony just confirmed that the update to Android 4.0 ICS will not start at end of March or early April for Xperia Arc S, Xperia Neo V and Xperia Ray and end of April or early May for Xperia Arc, Xperia Play, Xperia Neo, Xperia Mini, Xperia Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, Xperia active and Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman.
It will now start from mid-April 2012 for Xperia Arc S, Xperia Neo V and Xperia Ray and from end of May or early June for Xperia Arc, Xperia Play, Xperia Neo, Xperia Mini, Xperia Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, Xperia active and Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman.
For the new flagship Xperia S they didn’t even say a month, just that it’ll be updated “from the later part of the second quarter”.
That means the users might have to wait untill June 2011.
I thought about getting a Xperia S, but now I think I won’t. What do you guys thing about that late release for the Xperia S?
And as always the update will only be available via PC Companion and SEUS and not via OTA.
Sony only pushes out small Android updates like from 2.3.2 to 2.3.3 out via OTA.

Already 2 threads, most obviously is this one.

Past Phones/Present Phones/Future Phones

Today's thread is a discussion thread about the phones you had previously, the ones you have now and the ones you will have in the future or you want to have.
Also why you have bought a certain phone?
What is your favorite feature of it?
If you get a new phone one day what phone will it be?
What happened to the phone? Did it explode? Did someone steal it? or did you sell it?
Will it have features not possible yet? like holograms, 8 cores, flexible screen etc...
And many more questions

Well previously i had Sony Ericssons phones. My first was Sony Ericsson T290 (it had screen with colors ), then I had SE T700 (good phone, very slim- around 5mm-, with ExtremeBASS headphones, it was great for me that time, but one day screen just died ), then i used SE V640i for some time... Then i bought Nokia 5230 (It had touchscreen ).
After that i bought my X8. And i have 11w19 device so unlocked bootloader and cypress touchscreen I bougt it beacuse i wanted cheap phone with Android OS. And yeah i m happy with it.
I will keep it till it dies Then i ll probably buy some Xperia 2012 phone if it won t be very expensive

A die hard Sony Fan? haha

First Sony Ericsson K850i - Stupidest phone ever created by Sony Ericsson.
Second Sony Ericsson Xperia X8 - It's okay but i wish they updated it.

My first phone as a Motorola Talkabout series that i don't remember the model,after it i had a Nokia 2280,a Motorola W220,and after only Sony Ericsson's:W300,W302,W395,Xperia X8.

My first phone was the SE W300 if im correct. Great compact little phone, cheap to . Then it just went on to this device so its my second real phone. Its the most awesome phone ever. But the lousy support for "past phones" is making me consider never to buy a budget phone from SE ever again.
Thank you for your time and happy easter

[Devices receiving Sony ICS Update] Sorry/Not for X10

Hey Forum,
Just to let you know, a few days ago Sony posted on their site that they will be releasing ICS for their Xperia Devices, But the X10 is not listed and thus is presumed will not be getting the upgrade to ICS.
Devices being upgraded to ICS are:
Xperia NXT:
Xperia S, Xperia P, Xperia U

2011 Range: Updated Last month
"Xperia arc S, Xperia ray and Xperia neo"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Other 2011 Range:
"Xperia arc, Xperia neo, Xperia mini, Xperia mini pro, Xperia pro, Xperia active and Sony Ericsson Live"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Xperia Play will Not be recieving the update either because Sony have identified that gaming on this OS may not be
"stable and persistant."
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I think they should release some sort of source or an update to help out the developers who are currently working on a custom CM9 ICS for the X10.
What are your thoughts?
Peace

been there done that...
this is too backdated to be here....

It's sad that xperia play doesn't get ICS . Now I have to mod my bro's xperia.

We don't need sony's laggy rom

Ya looking for note3
nexus 5 my country haven release

go for galaxy s4mini....or htc one..

Xperia Z1
SAMSUNG GALAXY Y - TOUCHWIZ

Lumia 1020

Mate it depends on your pocket.
But at all ranges these are good phones...
Entry level: Samsung galaxy trend or Nokia lumia 520
Lower mid range: Xperia M
Mid range:Xperia L or Xperia C
Upper midrange: Xperia sp or s4 mini or Nexus 4
Lower high end: Lg G pro or nexus 5(if its available in your country)
High end: Lg G2(if you are a lover of features) or xperia z1(if you care only about power) or lumia 1020(if you have a hobby of photography)
Extreme High End: Samsung Galaxy note 3(if you love art or power) + Gear (if you have immense amount in your pocket ) or iphone 5s(The future of smartphones)
For lumia's you have to compromise apps but you get altime buttry performance and best camera.
For mid range devices you have to compromise small things.
For lower midrange you have to sacrifice few things.
And finally go for entry level android if you really are fed up with your galaxy y then you will surely love it.

To everyone please never buy galaxy s4 as its quite laggy samsung is itself upset about the phone. So samsung has preponed the s5 release in april 2014. Source : Android Authority.
It says its the worst flagship device ever by any company.

Thats because of the fact that 64bit processors atleast require 4gigs of ram to show the difference.(Source: Android Authority)

Do you know if there is any way to make it work on the GS4 ?
Edit the build.prop ?
Flash with a Rom which allows it ?
Thank you !
