​An unknown Sony Ericsson Xperia model received Bluetooth certification yesterday and in the process unveiled the new Xperia Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich firmware version number as 6.0.A.1.94. As a quick reminder, the latest firmware on the 2011 Xperia models is 4.0.2.A.0.58 (Android 2.3.4). Sony Ericsson went to great lengths to keep exactly which phone was tested under wraps. On the Bluetooth listing details it used the codename “New eDream6” for the design name (this would normally include the model number such as LT15i, LT26i etc) and the design model number simply had a “TBD” next to it (this would normally have the model name such as Xperia X10, Xperia arc etc).
The name ‘New eDream6′ is revealing in itself as eDream is the internal codename that Sony Ericsson uses for its software version numbers for Xperia smartphones. For example, the current software on the 2011 Xperia line up is eDream4. The immediate question this then brings is where is eDream5? Could it be that Sony Ericsson reserved eDream5 for Honeycomb and is using eDream6 for ICS? After all this is exactly what CyanogenMod has done moving from CM7 (Gingerbread) to CM9 (ICS). Now we just have to wait to see this ’6′ firmware version hit PTCRB for 2011 Xperia models to verify all of the above.

So according to sony it's in certification state ICS will be available soon
Here is the older certificate of Xperia Arc,
so the hardware version differ.. So what can we expect ? It's xperia Arc HD release ? or Xperia Arc release ?​

TBD Stand for :
To Be Determined
To Be Done
To Be Developed
To Be Discussed
To Be Defined
To Be Decided

Well, after seing this great news, it makes my heartbeat goes faster.
But will they really launch the ICS soon?
In our experience..
Sony always release the firmware update later than the other phone..
Like froyo.. gingerbread..
I hope they make a break trough this time. And surprise the Sony's users

They tweeted this:
"Something awesome is coming up on Wednesday, what's your most imaginative party theme?"
I don't think it's ICS related.

I'm still hoping that the ICS rom will pop up on wotanserver this week

Me too.
And if it's been released to PTCRB then why aren't Sony thanking people like me - who unlocked their bootloaders to test the beta - with a full release we can download and flash?

Ics comes to Arc S Neo v and some other SE Phones in the middle of april

Whatever it is, dont forget to share here...

Some Bad News on the Kitkat Update

Hi All...I don't want to be the bearer of bad news but...
According to a Sony Representative, he said that our phone [ Xperia SP ] won't be receiving the much awaited "KitKat" Update
you can check it out for yourself right here

Note: That translates to "I got confirmation from Sony that the Xperia SP won't be receiving the Kitkat update"
This is one of the reasons why I am getting the Z1c I mean Sony always forgets the Non-Flagship phones
I mean look the Galaxy Nexus has a KitKat Update!!! and ours doesn't?

already posted

Already posted and you have to believe that we can't trust these man. I remember one of them said that we will have Xperia Windows Phone almost year ago and till now, SONY still don't use Windows Phone OS.

That message in the french forum was written on 1st April.

so what the fu..ss?

Direct quote from the article listed in OP
"Once such thread from 18 February 2014 was asking about the availability of the Android 4.4 KitKat"
That was weeks ago. It's still listed under investigation, so honestly, I wouldn't put too much weight on this post. That was almost 2 months ago and no official word. Yes, that person later said that he/she got "confirmation", but from who? If it were true, the websites would be updated.
We'd all be best to stop speculation and rumors to wait until Sony's press officially says something through their proper channels, not an AMA on some random site.

Yeah it was written on april 1st lol

I don't mind if we don't get Kitkat, but i wish they at least fix install lag in 4.3.

Hope it's not true... Can't believe that we have to wait more that 3 months for update, and Z1 that have same specs that our phone will receive first a month before
Enviado desde mi Z1 Compact

The original leaked said z1c at March but there is also some other rumors said z1c will receive it faster now. There isn't any real official schedule yet so actually we have to wait..... I think Sony will tell in the very beginning of 2015.

Fake.

I hope is a fake because I can't wait again three months too
I just share with you that I find

Just spoken to Sony and the word on this leak is
Not from Sony as there is no planned date for any rollout yet
And when I asked if the ota would be timed round release of the z4.
Sony became very evasive on the matter.

Hard to believe. Thanks to the rapid release cycle those phones are not THAT different. I'm not a developer or anything but with Sony's very light skinning this should really go faster.

As you said there is not that much of a difference between Sony's series, so by updating the new ones faster than the older as z1 or z2 they ate just trying to sell more z3 and z4
It is marketing

Does it have the same camera as the X with less megapixels only? I really like how the XA looks, but I don't want a bad camera.

Sony consistently disappoints with its camera performance. Check all the z series forums and you'll see plenty of disappointed users. [emoji22]

The X series has not been released yet. It could be released sometime in Q3 of 2016 when NO ONE traditionally buys a new phone, so once again, Sony will release a device under the radar and sales will be minimal.
