Finally, we have some progress. After petition which was created by OmegaRED^, and thread, created by me, Sony make some love for our community (thanks for zdzihu for info about it. It's big deal I think, cause we know we can make X10 much better now. Second thing is that Sony didn't forget about us and still looking (hopefully) to relase some other features (I mean sources and answer for questions on their forum). Fingers crossed, guys. We will give X10 devices new life again .

Thanks for Sony again, and please - give us something more, if possible!

Yes! Great news.
I also hope that Sony will deliver the way for us to have 16 million colors in our 4" screen, and maybe even multitouch.
I'm loving Sony again...

I'm sure they will do this, if this possible of course. Hope yes .
PS: I'm planning buy Xperia GX if will be international, and with MSM8960 (Adreno320). For me this is the best smartphone for now, bye Samsung with your SIII plastic fun!

XPERIA GX is really good, what are the benchmarks actually of it vs GS3? Not that I care about it, the phone is smooth, UI is AWESOME and design is THE BEST so far of all Androids. But, the thing we should hope is that it's the MSM8960 Pro, or else we won't have the Adreno 320 .
I'm going to buy it, alot of websites say that the chip in the XPERIA GX supports all networks.

MSM8960 confirmed ->

It's extremally sweet and fast . My next must have after X10 and Play .
BTW - I don't understand why they put Arc/Arc S on second picture, cause there is GX spec xD.

MSM8960 means Adreno 225.
MSM8960 Pro means we get Adreno 320. I think we get the first one ^^. However I'm still going to buy this phone! I contacted Sony Mobile and they said there are no details for a worldwide release yet. So I think there will be worldwide release since they don't know!

Good idea . And I still believe on Adreno 320 with Pro Snapdragon. Maybe they don't put words about it on details. Hope soon we get full specification of GX . Okey, we need stop spam, friend .

Just read an article yesterday saying the same thing, then there was a reply from a Sony Rep saying that Xperia PLAY is still on track for ICS, and that the reason for the missing Xperia PLAY from the list was due to a typo. I am trying to find the article now and will post the link here, but the Rep said that the PLAY was totally getting ICS. The Xperia Arc S and Neo have the same and or similar specs and that there was no reason that the PLAY would not get it.
This is not the article but still wanted to post. Read the last two posts, claiming that a VZ Rep told them that ICS was coming sometime in June/July to R800x....(I smell BullSh!t)

exactly what i thought too.. the play has the same specs as the ray, arc, and neo
sigh
and if they keep telling us the XPlay won't run ICS as good as it runs GB, then why the hell a lower-end phone such as the upcoming Xperia Tipo (at 800MHz and Adreno 200) is getting ICS when it's released? that means the Xplay can handle it well...

Absoultely agree, Tipo has ancient hardware, 3 years old at least for the GPU

Some people argue that the Xperia Play performs worse on ICS when it comes to gaming. Maybe that´s the reason. I´ve read an article on droidgamers.com where the ICS Beta for Xperia Play had problems with some games.
But I think even if it is the case Sony would bring the update. Sony doesn´t prompt us to update to ICS if people don´t want it. Because of that there isn´t an OTA update, just through PC Companion.

if we dont get it on play then can we flash it as a stock rom when it offically comes out by using the ics update on xperia ray. Example?

I don't understand that, here, with the updated Adreno drivers, Fifa 12 runs even faster on ICS. Sure, Gameloft and Rockstar games just crash, but can they be lazy enough for not fixing that?

I love ics to death and I cannot wait for the official version to come out.

Ive just flashed back to Gingerbread due to a few of the issues with games. Mainly emulators. I had my GBA games backed up onto my netbook and played them on my Play but unfortunately on ICS, no GBA emulators work. It reminds me of Windows XP vs Windows Vista and 7. Some older games don't run on Vista/7 due to compatibilty problems and that appears to be whats happening here with the Play. You want ALL your games to work then stick to Gingerbread. I do however think that Android needs to implement a "Compatibility Mode" type function seen in Windows OSes.
Also, ICS is a memory hog. I always run GO Launcher EX on my Play due to hating the Xperia Launcher but GO Launcher lags quite a bit on ICS roms. Exiting the app draw gives a blank screen (just wallpaper shows) for about 10 seconds before everything shows up again. Scrolling also proves to be very jerky. GO Launcher also provides a handy task killer that is just a 1 press job, making "swipe" task killing pointless.
Im pretty sure as well that ICS is doing away with flash video support. I may be wrong though.
All in all, the cons of ICS outweigh the pros. However, thats just my opinion. I say the Xperia Play should just be a Gingerbread device. If you absolutely NEED ICS, then buy a newer handset.

Has anyone checked if ICS for the Xperia Play is available through PC Companion ?

GBoid (GBA emulator) works on my ICS Rom. Playing Baldur's Gatte Dark Alliance

"Im pretty sure as well that ICS is doing away with flash video support. I may be wrong though."
Flash runs fine on my ICS Tablet..
I haven't been able to check the link (leaving work so a bit rushed) but I'd be shocked, and need more proof then this, that ICS isn't coming. Most of the problems I've heard from the beta sound like.. beta related issues. Code set to Debug, that sort of thing.
Still confident ICS is coming. Better then GB for our device? No idea, but I'd bet (small) amounts of money it's still coming.

Sony did release a Beta rom for the Xperia Play. So they might be working on it to fix the issues or they won't be releasing ICS because it will incompatible.

I really hope the Play doesn't do what the X10 was doing when Froyo was about as old as ICS is now.
I love ICS on my Amaze, but the roms I have tried on my play just don't seem to match up, I'm still running 2.2.4 now, and I think it is running fine.

Was just about to post this, Mentioned on The Verge as well
http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/24/3041799/sony-mobile-drops-xperia-play-ics-upgrade

This news would be horrible if true.
I got fed up waiting for Sony to get their bums in check and yesterday I flashed the true ancestor rom which runs much smoother than stock. I've left my bootloader locked hoping ICS would be here soon so I could experience ICS for the first time when it's official.

First of all, excuse me beforehand for an longer post than I had expect from myself, Secondly, have in mind that I'm sharing my own thoughts about the ICS-update and what I have wrote down is saying why Sony wouldn't, IMO, manage to get the ICS out of beta-stage for the Xperia Play, and this is all my own thoughts, and as always,you who are reading this post are free to agree or disagree to this posts information.
to start the post, this is why I would never read an article or anything like this, and especially not believe it when I'm reading it:
1. I Won't believe that the whole Sony Ericsson/Sony development-team has sent out an beta of ICS to Xperia Play for nothing.
2. Giving us promises about ICS since 1. It's from the 2011 Xperia line, and 2. as long as I have reed, the freaking 2011 Xperia-line will be updated, even if we have "weak" hardware for ICS according to Sony (to be straight forward).
3. KalleD from Sony would never have started an forum especially for feedback in the Xperia-forum without having in mind to get the ICS out of beta-stage to release a full-featured ICS for our phone.
4. The telephone cost to much to not be given the ICS update.
5. It would be REALLY BAD (yes, caps on that) PR(Public Responses) for Sony if they just gave up the development for ICS at an beta-stage with all the promises in mind.
6. The Sony Xperia S from this year is PS-certificated as well so that mean that they also have a reason to develop a fully functional PS-pocket with more added to it for ICS, and get the same experience to Xperia Play isn't that hard seen from a developer-perspective.
7. Have the 6 points before and more in mind, how good-looking and badass would Sony be looking for the big mass if they sold a underpowered hardware with this high price and not be giving us ICS, not that good looking or badass, and neither would they have some of their customers remaining (even if they was foolish about the PS3 and don't gonna get many buyers getting an PS4, especially if it has a feature saying OtherOS (bad yoke).
Even if it comes with big problems during Sony Ericssons article about how ICS needs more RAM to function, and has explained why it doesn't gonna run that smooth as GB for example.
But that's just me, and I gonna stay realistic and not listen to much to news-sites that just wanna release articles without news-values according to myself since they are referring to a page where Sony Xperia S isn't even included in the ICS-updates.
So hey, what about if Xperia S isn't given ICS-update either? OMG OMG OMG!!!!!111 :O some of you may start think about that statement from an unreliable source like me, and yeah, I agree, doesn't sound very true, so let's don't listen to the news to much in this case, since I just played a yoke as well like those news-sites)
So let's just wait a couple of days since May isn't even over yet, and then I didn't even mention that June hasn't been knocking on the door yet, and according to Sony/Sony Ericsson it would be late May, early June for the release.
And as a worst case-scenario we still have the ICS-beta (and even some 4.0.4 builds in the Custom ROM-section), and as well we will see the update for Xperia S, and when the the Xperia S gets the ICS-update with PS-pocket, then the developer-community will be able to pull the trigger of anyhow and manage to get the PS-pocket and features from the Xperia S and push it to the Xperia Play and do some APK-edits and perhaps get a somewhat nice user-experience.

ICS upgrade available next week

Sony just revealed that remaining 2011 xperia smartphone will get upgraded to ICS 4.0.4 next week, except Xperia PLAY(poor u) in order not to affect gaming performance.
NXT series will get the upgrade in the order of S, P, and then U.
Now, we are happy to confirm that the remaining 2011 smartphones; Xperia arc, Xperia neo, Xperia mini, Xperia mini pro, Xperia pro, Xperia active and Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman will start to receive their updates starting from next week.
This software upgrade will be Android version 4.0.4 and the good news is that this latest version will also be made available for Xperia arc S, Xperia ray and Xperia neo V users, who received Android 4.0.3 the first time around.
In regards to Xperia PLAY, after extensive in house testing with our developer teams and working with our partners, we have concluded that a consistent and stable experience, particularly with gaming, cannot be guaranteed for this smartphone on Ice Cream Sandwich – therefore, we will not make the Android 4.0 upgrade available for Xperia PLAY.

yea.. i saw xperia s running 4.0.4 few days ago..it was damn smooth though..

I was wondering the same question how will Sony fix the gaming problem on ICS for the Xperia play? And there is the answer may it be just for now, no ICS for play until the gaming problem is solved. Great news for my Arc S

is there any particular date for ics to come???
and thnxxxx for the news
bec just had a rom of android 4.0.4 and now only i had put the stock .62 fw for the ics

And Gud news is tat 4.0.4 wil be available for Arc S, Neo V and Ray which got a buggy 4.0.3 update. ;-)

This decision was also verified when we received similar feedback from the developer community; both experienced developers and advanced users, along with game content providers following our ICS beta ROM for unlocked Xperia PLAY smartphones.

previously sony said ICS will still run with the obsolete kernel 2.6.32 in order to release ICS as quickly as possible in January. i just hope after 4-5 months of development they can release a 3.0 kernel in the near future.
we also see xperia s running ICS with 3.0.8 kernel, hope Sony or some skilled developer could port it to xperia arc?
It is rather quick to get a new kernel up and running, but it takes a lot of testing and validation to make it stable and run with the modem, get a good battery performance etc. Quite some effort has been put in to the Sony Ericsson 2.6.32 kernel, to make it as stable and reliable as possible for the 8255 platform, and we do not feel that the user benefit of a new kernel would justify a later release date.

Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

Maybe, but highly unlikely. I fear Sony may just get lazy and say 4.1 may screw up the PLAY just like the ICS, but look at the custom roms we have now like markphyton's rom. The developers were probably too lazy.

Some people don't realize that some people don't want to root or unlock their bootloaders, so stop saying sh1t like "get a ROM".

The only way to make every1 get a taste of everything here is to create an .ftf file that could be flash using flashtool. But there's no guide as how to make a .sin file so it could be bundle to be an .ftf file. If there is every1 can run custom rom, custom kernel n overclock their play. So until the methods to make a .sin file be discovered we just need to keep unlock our BL n root our Play. What a drag...
Kindly Hit Thanks Button if i've help u in any way.

The funny thing is, there will be as much support for games as there is on ics. So games that don't work on ics won't work on jb. And sony will do what they did with ics, if you want it then unlock or get lost. But in all seriousness, you're living in a dream if you think the play will get jb officially.

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.

Yeah, well, people, don't get your hopes up. ICS being slashed off our upgrade list totally slashes off the possibility of having Jelly Bean.
But with Sony saying again the magic word "ALL," don't you think that would make quite a stir again if they abandon the Xperia PLAY, again, for the second time, after just saying ALL? Now that's cow turd more stale than X10 and Xperia PLAY abandonment issue all put together. (Ssshhh, I see a riot coming...)

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+
