Don't know if this was an April's fool joke, but yesterday there was news about possible Windows 8.1 release for some Xperia devices, including SP, @ http://fxpblog.co/press-release/sony-to-release-windows-phone-8-1-for-current-xperia-devices/ Sure it would be awesome to to try this.
Ofcourse it's apri's fool joke...
500 million dollars
Sony don't want to release KitKat for our device and you think it will release Windows phone update for it. :good:
That's what I thought too. :good: Still, it would be nice it there was really a possibility to try that on our devices. :angel:

"We have been having a lot of questions regarding the update for our 2011 Xperia™ phones to the new Android 2.3.4 version. And we are happy to tell you that today we announced that the 2.3.4 version of Gingerbread platform for all the 2011 Xperia™ Smartphones will start the roll out during October at select markets."
Let's hope for the best!
Cheers,
it is update for 2011 phones such as arc, neo, play, pro,...
X8, X10/mini/pro are listed in the 2010 Xperia phones
...segtawee.....
But our sibling W8 was 2011 phone...
Sent from my E15i using XDA App
i am using a W8.... but after i installed Gingerdx... it shows that my model number is X8...
does that means i will not be getting the update ?
well... i prefer Dx's custom ROM better... more updates than the SE
i dont believe that the w8 will get the update..it is practically not a smartphone..and guys be realistic if the x8(or w8) havent gotten froyo how it is possible that we will get 2.3.4?just be happy for the devs here in xda
@innovator84:
Open the build.prop in a text editor,change every "X8" to W8" and then reboot and have a look at settings-about phone again.

i dont see trolling or any trolls in this thread because it located at the general section, no one is being assaulted.
W8 won't get an update, because it isn't a 'Xperia' series phone. It is a 'Walkman' with android system.
Edit: Who cares we don't have 2.3.4? CM 7.1.0-pre is on 2.3.5!

Thanks for the tips... but it doesn't matter anyway...
the W8 is practically a X8 with a walkman logo on it..
Yes you're right, W8 is a X8 with a walkman logo. But W8 isn't a 'Xperia' series phone, so it won't get a update too.
x8 wont be updated to 2.3 because its not a 2011 xperia phone its a 2010 xperia smartphone. and as @samyeung97hk already said the w8 isnt an xperia phone at all its a walkman. its sad but true we wont be getting official 2.3
Well I guess its only the packaging of w8. Its like LG Optimus and its glossy version.

It probably won't get an update as the x8 won't get an update. If the W8 gets an update us x8 users should get an update too because W8 firmware is virtually identical to x8 firmware. But SE has mentioned that x8 will not get update so W8 users probably will not get an update.

As I said earlier in this thread, W8 isn't a 'Xperia' series phone. Although it's spec/firmware are the same, it won't get an update either.
Edit: Every Android phones are upgradable if the spec allows/have devs to develop firmware.

Back to the future
Hi,
I'm from the future and i will leak you sensitive information that Android 5.0 is named lollipop. It features a new design called material design and will be released in November of 2014 so you guys still have two long years to wait. Kitkat is next. Also the head of android will be Sundar Pichai.
I hope i haven't disrupted time continuum.
Farewell

I'm also anxious about Lollipop releasing. I think it's going to be the best Android experience We've ever had.
Today that's a great news I bring to you. For those who didn't know yet, Sony will update the whole Xperia Z range phones to the all new Android L version also known as Lollipop. That means even better performances, better battery performance and more
Upgrade should start early 2015.
more info here
Nice, but I am certainly hopping on to the first available L rom, not gonna wait till next year.

You mean this?
https://www.androidcentral.com/huaw...ate-9-oreo-update-monthly-security-patch-goal
Tbh the article is clear in stating that Project Treble will come to Mate 9, but I see no clear statement about P coming to it. Mentions of P seem to be pointed at Mate 10.
Huawei has committed to provide "new features" (i.e. software upgrade) for 2 years (https://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_commits_to_24_months_of_software_updates-blog-20050.php), so Android P seems to be not covered.

Oh Christ, the world has barely gotten Oreo and you're worried about "P"? By the time "P" gets released I will likely want a new phone. :silly:
