[Official] No Jelly Bean for Xperia Play and Xperia 2011 Range .

John Cooper, UK Product Manager for Sony Mobile, has been taking questions from customers on Facebook and, perhaps inadvertently, revealed that both the Sony Ericsson Xperia arc S and Xperia mini pro will not receive the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update.
We have been waiting for Sony to make an official statement on their Jelly Bean upgrade plans and this is the first concrete news we have on the matter. The Xperia arc S was the highest specced 2011 Sony Xperia handset, so if this handset isn’t getting it we can conclude that none of the other Xperia handsets from the 2011 range will get the update either. However, the 2012 Xperia range do look likely to get the update, although timing remains an unknown right now.

That's not the problem! Why should people who don't even get paid for their work do the stuff of the manufacturers? All of these companies should be ashamed not supporting their product more than they do!

Not really surprising.
Vendors should be ashamed, JB's announced, out and about, some people are waiting for their official ICS update.
Likelihood is that their will be some semi stable JB ROM's for the Play before some devices get their ICS update.

Yea, this is no surprise at all. I thought this was about Cyanogenmod10 for Xperia 2011s, lol. Don't be scaring rooters like this!! xD

Well that sucks....

Leaving all about that the Xperia Play didn't even get ICS, the most impressive of all this is the fact that companies like Sony, HTC, Samsung, etc. make devices that cost about 400-600 € and only give ONE year of updates support. And nobody says anything.

Sony cant do that... The xperia 11 line NEEDS jelly bean. ICS runs awefull even on the arc s. Homescreen transition on arc s with stock 4.0.4 is not "laggy" but the framerate is very low, definetly below 20 fps. If i compare my xperia play on stock gingerbread with my friends stock ics arc s this is a major difference. And jelly bean would fix that, look at the nexus s it has less power than arc s and runs choppy with ics aswell but with jelly bean it is smooth, fps is high. ICS is kinda a beta for jelly bean. Every ics device must have jb. Never Sony again.

It's more to do with the poor quality of the ROM seeing as I'm running a custom ICS ROM on my unsupported Xperia Play pretty fine.

speak with your wallets guys, stay away from future sony phones. Show Sony what dropping support feels like.

If Sony doesn't straighten up, I might as well get a phone by Google next.

I don't notice much difference at all over a GB ROM, certainly not slow.

jellybean?
come on, we still got no ICS update

I agree that JB is what ICS should have been(judging by comparison videos). ICS WAS the beta to JB is right!! . Since the Xda community has figured out the Touchpad issue(not Sony) and added it to ICS, I am dying to see if the gaming would come back to us with JB. That would be a smack in the face of Sony and might actually influence people to not buy more Sony devices knowing they wont support.

Sony Xperia Z Android 4.2.2 and Kernel 3.6 in the first official screenshot

It seems like that this time Sony is going to beat everyone and bring the latest version of Android on its new Xperia device. It’s recently appeared in the official Sony Xperia blog a screenshot showing the system information of Xperia Z C6603, where you can admire the latest version of Android 4.2.2.
What you can see below is the first screenshot of the Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean update for the Sony Xperia Z (C6603). It was sent to us by an anonymous tipster with some of the baseband and kernel details understandably masked. It shows us that the Android 4.2.2 JB update will have firmware version 11.1.A.1.450. However, we are told this is a beta version, so expect the firmware version number to be in the form of 11.1.A.X.XXX by the time it is released.It uses a new 3.6 kernel, compared to 3.4 kernel of the old Android 4.1.2 firmware. Best of all, we are told that the official release for this Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean firmware will take place at the end of March in Europe. Obviously none of this is official information so take it with a pinch of salt, but if Sony does manage to upgrade the Xperia Z a month after release many customers will be very happy indeed.

Sony, then, is already working on Jelly Bean 4.2.2 and it’s near to release it as an update to its new device. Not only that, but from the screenshot you can clearly see that the kernel is updated to version 3.6, this mean, that Sony his going to beat the Nexus family that is standing with 3.4.
Release which should take place in Europe by the end of March. If so, and we have good reason to believe it, this time all the other manufacturers would have to take a cue from Sony!

I just hope it has the screen calibration. :fingers-crossed:

Nice, can't wait to make a 3.6 kernel

Xperia Z + Android 4.2.2 = Best phone ever !

If it is real - i'm happy to see they'll bump it to 4.2.2 and not stay with previously announced 4.2.1

Hope this update comes too for my xperia tx and the 2012 xperia line

i think it's shopped.
compare android version with kernel version or the build #
Now why are the dots between numbers blurry and to close to each other?

It's a bad resize.
It's real, but that doesn't mean the release is all that close. Late March sounds a bit optimistic but it's possible. 4.1.2 on the Xperia Z is extremely stable, I haven't encountered a single bug, hang, slowdown or bad wakelock since I got it!

I'm agreed with you, mr.
it seems to me that photoshopped.
but if its real, than XZ will become a awesome phonee :good:

It probably just as real , as the xperia s jelly bean 4.1.2 update. Perhaps we will get it in the next century or so....when everybody using android "Bla Sweet 6.6.6 " Sorry to being sarcastic, I have both devices and not happy with the update speed. Time is ticking and sony losing here. Other manufacturers already pushed out 4.2.2 and heard that android 4.3 coming and S still waits for 4.1.2 Z still waits 4.2.2

hey! I can edit my build prop and post a screenshot too!

mid june rumor says

Mid June is a bit too early, but I think it could arrive somewhere in the summer.
4.2.2 is not a priority for Sony, they want to make sure their own services and additions work well first. And it'll be worth it if you ask me

[Discussion Thread] Android 4.3

As you may know or not there was a found leak yesterday of REAL android 4.3 for the Samsung Galaxy S4 I-9505.
Well how does this relate to us?
Well we all are interested to see the difference in the system.
I thought it would be a good idea to keep a discussion thread just in case someone brings it up and people go off topic.
Some quick info on the firmware:
- A lot of backdoor additions such as the new norm of Low Power Bluetooth support.
- This version is NOT KEY LIME PIE.
- This version has almost no UI changes, but noticeable changes include settings access method in the camera e.t.c
- Some apps have Android 4.3 and even the modem name attached into the description when accessing app info.
- Known to increase benchmark scores by approximately 1800 in Antutu.
- Has a SeLinux button at bottom of About Phone in Settings.

Even if the performance on Android 4.3 would be better, we would sadly never get it to a state on the Xperia Play so that it can be used as a daily driver. We're not even able to get wifi working on android 4.2!

I don't think anything above 4.1 is worth working on.

for someone that doesnt use phone for gaming even android 10 will be good on xperia play

What about performance?

great
It will be great if we can have a 4.3 roms for XPlay but i think that will kill the gaming performance of the device!!

It is rumored that Android 5.0 will run better on low-end phones than Jelly Bean did.

If you mix this rumor with the other rumor that Motorola has some secret new low-spec'd phones coming out, there may be some truth to it. I certainly hope so.

Personally I believe our phone is good enough to run JB. I don't see why it couldn't run Android 5.0 well.
JB performance is impressive and a lot of people don't understand RAM Consumption to a full extent on Android.
I think even 4.2.2 won't do the play any bad.

Maybe you should take a moment to check:

It's 100% fake. Infact, it's not fake, it's just stating what we already know.

I think we all know they'll be updating the Xperia Z. It might not be the star of the show any longer but it certainly certified for 4.3. Sony themselves said they would update the phone. 4.3 doesn't really bring many most have features so I am not particularity rushing for it. What I do want are some of those xperia Z1 app enhancements in my Z.

We dont know what specification will 4.4 require, but the rumour says that its gonna be refreshed, super-light even for 500mb RAM smartphones. That, and the fact Xperia Z is not even a year old, still supported by qualcomm, makes me sure it definitely will be upgraded to 4.4. What is more Xperia Z was truely (not counting me) first SONY phone, which attracts clients. I mean first which does matter on market ( S and T didnt matter at all), there is too many people who bought this device, if SONY abandon such a great group its gonna be disaster for future flagships.

Very true, and the fact that Z finally started the Sony quest to be recognized as a serious contender in the Flagship race. The reason i am not looking forward to 4.3 is mainly because it does not bring anything new to the table, so if it had to be one upgrade, it would rather be the latest. That said we always have XDA and Z is a pretty good device on a whole, so we should keep getting unofficial support for sometime.

To be honest Sony have made their name fairly well. But like you said 4.3 doesn't seem to bring anything new to the table in terms of usability. That said I've only seen rumours and such rather than hard facts from Google themselves. It will be interesting to see what comes of it.

If Sony doesn't release 4.4 for SP I might buy the Z1 Compact or whatever will be the SP's succesor(only if it has 2 GB of ram !). What do you think Sony wants me to do ?

Most of the phones that have recently had 4.3 released had said that they were under investigation to get it. It doesn't mean we won't it just means they are going to see how much work it will take to do. Still a really good chance we will see it

Agree with you. I had the same thought!

I do believe that 4.4 will come to SP, since they have announced it as "future version" like last year. I guess they just want to take a break for a while for the whining that we SP users gave to them. :laugh:

Sony should release 4.4 +1 version. Since they support a device 18 months, I reckon that a version above Kitkat will release and that will be the last and the final update.

They can also unlock bootloader and upgrade with CM (What I finally did after waiting years to update my xperia x10 mini pro)
