Oh, and I know I'm running out of the topic a little but...

I have CM9 on my X10 Mini Pro, and soon I will get a Xperia S. This will be my second Android device, so I don't know exactly how it works. But I read that, right after I login with my Xperia S on Google, my apps, contacts, etc will be downloaded from the cloud. But I have some ICS exclusive apps on my X10 MP. My question is: When XS get updated to ICS, the rest of the apps will be downloaded or I will have to do that manually?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chesterr:
Awesome..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] ssj_jaypee:
You know what would be awesome?

If Sony skipped ICS and went straigt onto releasing Jellybean for Xperia S in May instead.

I'd like to be one of the first android users with the next upcoming version. :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
It's final from Sony, if there are no problems with carriers, they'll roll it out. Monday is not really probable, maybe mid week.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] realfelix:
lmao Xperia Z releasing soon and we dont even have ICS .. what a fail ..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sharshar6000:
i wanna try the ICS cause there is a man in my head who says sell that fone and buy the one x , my first post here :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Xperia what.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
He was saying all the Xperia phones are out and ICS is not, so that should be Xperia Z
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] realfelix:
True. And second i ment the rumor about the z.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] lullesha:
I wouldn't change SXS for 1X coz I honestly think that CPU differences are minimal, and as i had few HTC devices I know they tend to get forgoten ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ambroos:
Yeah. Rumour. You absolutely shouldn't expect anything of that to be true.

It's just like people comparing the Xperia S to the Galaxy S3 before we even knew what it would be like. I wish people would stop doing that.

ICS really is not that special. Get over it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
You are right, not anymore since we know Jelly-Bean or whatever the name is coming out soon... Never knew size 7 text could be that big.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jonmorris:
I presume that with 4.0.4 coming out, Sony decided to wait. I am sure they could have rolled out ICS quicker, but wanted to make sure it's not going need a patch or update within weeks.

If things go wrong, it means loads of complaints and bad press on the tech sites. Sony can't win either way.

The One X appears to having more than its fair share of issues, and the GS3 has already had a patch. They're not invincible either.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Let's not blame Sony. I know you're tired of waiting, but I know the guys who work there. They don't delay it because they are assholes and want you to feel bad. Let them take their time and do it right, and I'm quite confident the situation will be much better with future updates and launches not being slowed down by legal hassle.

with ICS we will get cm9 and miui :P if this is not special LoL :P
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sixdaysandy:
I'm waiting for ICS for the S with as much anticipation as the next person, but it's not that big a leap. The interactions are a bit nicer, and we'll get a few nice functions that the majority of users will actually take advantage of; it's likely that performance and battery will be improved, at least a little. Other than being able to say 'Yeah it's got ICS' I doubt most users will notice.

XDA Members (most at least) might get a little more out of it, but for the majority of the public Sony' GB build is not only rock solid, but incorporates so much on top of the stock build that I don't believe that stock GB is really comparable. Having used the GSII (yes only the II and not the III) and the HTC One X I feel that the respective interfaces are nowhere near as clean and crisp looking as that which Sony have given the S.

Sony's target was Q2, they've got another two weeks effectively to deliver ICS before 'letting down' the public; I'm sure that when ICS does arrive for the S it will be as solid as the GB build, and be as performant and power conservative as it can be for that software on our hardware, while still giving us features and an OS styling in a more unique looking device than Sony's competitors.

Oh is he? I thought we all live in Haruhi Suzumiya's imagination.

95% of the customers don't even know what those are. The developers and hackers and custom rom users will always be a vocal minority. The fact that Sony respects us is nice. But most people don't even care about those icy asses of yours.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DP4:
thats what I'm waiting for on my phone. Only thing I've missed since switching from a desire s
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gtrab:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] xshunin:
So how long does it take to root ICS when it's out so I can flash it to my unlocked, rooted device? :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tsukeyomi:
(Bored so i'll start with some flame to revive this thread)

Thumbs up if you think K900 dude is a freaking Sony fanboy.

(Just kidding ofc :P )
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tel033:
I have a question.. will ICS be available only via PCC or SUS, or will I recieved an OTA? mine is DE generic and I live in Paraguay south america

Thanks to all!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
I would say via XDA is the best solution out there :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ambroos:
You'll probably receive a notification but will have to update through PCC/SUS. (educated guess)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tsukeyomi:
Some other Sony (Ericsson) devices got it via OTA. There's a chance it will happen the same with us ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tel033:
is it a heavy file, I mean the FW update .75 was 296mb, is it heavier?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
Maybe bigger :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
Not sure about heaviness but ICS on arc ( FTF file) is about 365MB more or less. But I think it depends how you put it in? Do you have slow connection or you are worried about something else?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tel033:
my connection is sometimes a bit slow..no i just wanted to know and maybe make me an idea of how much time will i wait while updating.. so i can make some time for it :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
me, as an end user didn't notice anything different between flashing a GB FW or ICS FW in speed of updating or anything else. So, besides the download speed everything else should be the same (of course as far as installation)

Lets hope it comes here soon
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jacker60:
Well that will be a problem.... and yes i can always flash that update, the problem from Telcel its that if sony release tomorrow the update, telcel will release it in december :/

LOL, well i think the same in the beggining but now jatt say that it will be problems like in the arc :(, so i dont know what to think right now u_u
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
Thanked wrong.

If in Mexico you will only have in December, then Brazil will get it only around April.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jacker60:
jeje, well, yes right now for xperia S its still Xperia S_6.0.A.3.62_Telcel .... -62 ¬¬, and i dont think right now get an update like .75 for example..., will take a lot of time to get ICS from Telcel :(, dont know why operators take so time to upgrade their builds...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Chxrlyglez:
On twitter sonyxperiamx told me it going to be available on September :-o

I can't wait them

Enviado desde mi smartphone!

Gracias por todo
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Likely not OTA, there's quite a bit of risk there. I saw a few bricked Samsungs that discharged in the process.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jacker60:
Well something similar say about x10 in their time... :p, they said first august i think (or take for example) pass august... october... november and it takes a lot of time!!!! to upgrade, I remember that because in the facebook page people were always asking, better flash it via flashtool :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Not too much. .75 was a full blob, not a patch. Zipped system dump is about 350 MB IIRC.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
If even I was in your position, I wouldn't know how better I could answer that question. If you are not working for Sony, they should give you award anyways to drag this thread along on your shoulder for month and a half.

Here is a "Good Job Award" for you

& BTW, you should sue the other user with slightly modified of your username
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SnowOokami:
well not sure though.. but i figured that my SXS is a LT26i... but some SXS are LT26 without the i :rolleyes: I've no damn idea what the difference is, but they could be 2 different devices like the K900 and K900i ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
It's the one same device. Just sometimes it displays different things based on firmware and build.prop.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
>>ICS<< that was just to relate the post to this thread.

since all new devices work pretty much on all GSM network (except T-mobile USA) that i or a or even without doesn't make sense and people will start using LT26 only and I become null. so we are going to ignore any "i" in any shape and form/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SnowOokami:
what did T-mobile USA with it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
What do you mean? T-Mobile USA has different 3G bands which won't work with Xperia S or any new Xperias that I know in the market.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gtrab:
Don't wait anymore

Neurolinguistic programming it's called ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SnowOokami:
really?? I thought T-mobile USA got the same band as T-mobile NL... the SXS is sold by T-mobile NL aswell
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
I think they are on 1700 and 2100 for 3G use. one is for download and one for upload.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
Why T Mobile USA uses a different frequency? Why not use something that don't need a device specifically made for it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bustervic:
K900 deserves an award for staying calm with the sh1tstrom created with this thread. I don't think I would be the same.

That said, I would be super happy if we get our hands on ICS in the next 7-8 days. Can't wait for it :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tsukeyomi:
Do you lose patience quickly, yes?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bustervic:
Yes, but strangely enough I have been totally patient with the ICS rollout.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SnowOokami:
same in NL... GSM1800 (=1700) and 2100mhz for 3g, like any operator in Europe :rolleyes: my Desire Z also worked fine on t-mobile's network in NYC when I was there.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tsukeyomi:
And what would happen if you lost patience, let's say, right now?

Would you, for example, break in Sony's offices kickin the door and do something really really bad?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] bustervic:
Haha, I think that is what some may do in this thread if ICS isn't out in the next 14 days!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tsukeyomi:
Ok, i'll act as the "good guy" and say something like:

"We don't want you people to get hurt, really. So please, listen to this crazy guy and give us the sources. Everything will go well."

:p

It is easier to get ICS on this device.

And sadly, that's not a joke.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900i:
atleast it is better than NIMCHE
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] waiflih:
btw, I kwow from someone inside movistar (chilean carrier) that they'll be releasing ICS on 5th july
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] judunur:
Sure you do :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SnowOokami:
5th of july seems plausible for carriers, because vodafone AU got the ICS firmware as well ;-)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Matt1408:
What sucks is that even if this phone does get ICS on it soon, a) a working CM9 build needs to be out b) my bootloader needs to be unlocked.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SnowOokami:
are you sure?

if I remember correctly you could extract the kernel from the ftf, root it and flash it. No need for a CM9 build...

I used to build an AOKP rom for the Desire Z. I could build ICS roms using the ICS AOKP source and the Desire Z build specs... (which were custom build of course).

Also I could extract an OTA update using DSIXDA's kitchen, root the kernel and repack it and yes it works with ICS roms as well :rolleyes:

what I'm wondering is.. why it isn't possible to flash a permanent recovery on the device like on the HTC devices?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
There's no separate recovery partition. Boot, system, data, sdcard. End of story.

Hi back to topic

Will we able to create folders in menu? And android beam?

Cause right now I can't share music via nfc with a galaxy nexus phone

Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gtrab:
T-mobile USA is a freak, they use a unique, martian band

Nobody else in the whole world uses that curious 1700up-2100down band

And nobody builds phones for that band unless T-mo makes an order
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] SnowOokami:
Android beam; yes

folders; don't know
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gtrab:
1.- Because their users would buy phones directly from manufacturers and not from them

2.- Because their users would have the ability to unlock their phones and switch to another provider
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Android beam - yes. Folders in drawer - nope.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
That is something that I don't know but I assume that was caused by ATT being the main power. They may have cut a deal when they start business in the US. Things are not as they are seen.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tsukeyomi:
I'm abroad for the weekend, i'll have lots to catch up when i'll be back, on monday.

Have a nice time everyone, hope ICS will be out as soon as possible :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] torquadon:
It will certainly be released as soon as it is possible...

Not noted any slowness on my system using dropbox - al;though it *will* be slow if you're downloading from the 3G signal or from WiFi as it will have to upload to Dropbox from your MAC then download to the phone.

Have you tried other alternatives? (Like FTP from your MAC - set up a folder and get/put using an FTP app on the phone?)

Me too, but performance is no better or worse than Dropbox.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
You're not the only one :)

C'mon Sony, I'm dying here to use Chrome Beta, Hw Aceleration, some awesome Holo apps ( Boid for Twitter, HaxSync, and other apps I forgot) and the new gallery/music player ( which is the best, but has a icon ugly as hell)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
Yes!

Tomorrow is 15th of June and there is only 15 more days left till end of this "Quarter 2 thingy" left.

but

I would say either tomorrow or next Friday they will release the ICS.

Going off-topic here, but...

ES File Explorer is nice enough, but I've recently switched to X-Plore, it's nice enough on both phone and tablet. Has all features of ES FE, but it also integrates Cloud services (Google Drive, Box, Dropbox, etc) :)

Anyway, here are some apps that enable file sharing on the phone, making it accesible from a PC (and I suppose from MACs, too):

Samba Filesharing

On Air

My FTP Server

(haven't tried any, myself, I'm fine with browsing my PC and router shares from the phone / tablet)

And back on topic... somewhat.

Heh... I do, and I don't event have an XS :D

I've moved from an Arc S to Xperia P, GB is fast an' all... but I miss ICS! :)

I don't suppose anyone has detailed info on the ICS update for the XP?

OK, in Q3, we know that, but... anything a little bit more precise that that? End of July, end of August?

Nice finding but it says "planned". When sony plans something, it takes a while to get results. the sentence is put together very smart where it gives you impression of releasing in middle of Q2 and never think that you have to wait till the last day of Q2.

That's why I have been patient, Microsoft for that a lot. Any quarter release with Microsoft basically means last few days of.

Oh God, that waiting is killing me.

On a side note, i got a Tablet S yesterday with honeycomb 3.0, I checked if there were updates and it looks like "honeycomb 3.2 is now available" and I was like "wow! no ICS here either, duh..."

When the update finished and rebooted, the pop-up asked me if I want to upgrade to ICS 4.0.3 ... wait what?

Why every single Sony device of the last 2 years already got the ICS update and my xperia s phone bought the last month is still running gingerbread?!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jonmorris:
Motorola is still to roll out ICS to its tablets and smartphones (exception being the very first Xoom). I might not get ICS on my Atrix until Q4!

If Sony keeps to the Q2 deadline (and I believe it will) then we'll have been fairly lucky compared to what some phone owners have to go through. Sure, it's disappointing not to have had ICS given earlier, but they did always say Q2 and everyone knows that this regularly means the end of that quarter.

EVERY company does this too.

How many people are complaining about iOS6 not being rolled out until the autumn/fall? Apple has announced it, shown it off and now everyone on Apple forums must be saying they want it.. and Apple hasn't even given a specific date.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] PhilAd:
if ICS is such a big point for you, you should have defently bought another device ... early shots like S2 still have the same bugs and not all S2 devices even have ICS until today ...
