I know, it was a abstruse ironical stab at "in soviet russia" jokes...

I'm sorry to create misunderstadings for I've an obscure taste of humor which you are probably not accustomed to.

I am grateful for you leaked info tho, and am VERY agitated by the suspension created by all these leaks and what not. It actually makes me dare dream about rooting with locked BL...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Well we do have FSB :P
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] marcoplo:
why do we talk about MI5/6 insted of KGB? they are old basters. There was/they are / they will be there sitting secretly >>>undercover<<<< there no other way

But i still like Russia -> you ask why-> no website ban like in uk, get some staff for free -> piracy. I love it

come back to XpS pls
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
Find us someone to leak it fast. C'mon, I can't wait anymore. I need to install it on my phone.

It was sarcasm. :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] a4rocks:
Considering the topic has lead to secret missions and so on, we better have a top secret leak before people start babbling about Apple here :p

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mzr7:
Interesting um can you tell us the build number? Or a range? Just for you know
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
6.1.A.0.4xx
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Roman91:
waiting for 6.1.A.0.5xx :D:D:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] realfelix:
don't think that this build number will appear before the initial release of ICS.

anyways, as said earlier, Sony is trying to win time by saying "end" of June. I'm pretty sure that the US could receive the update by that time, but the nordics will definitely get it earlier. My guess is we will have 2/3 more weeks to wait ..
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
I don't think so really. They won't get 100 more builds in < 1 month of testing unless they mess up really really hard.

Yeah, that's the most probable version. I can't say anything about the dates now because it's all decided by the higher ups now, not small local offices.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tsukeyomi:
*why u no shut up :eek: * :)

Other than that, can't wait to finally use both cores :)

Guess we'll need them when dozens of pictures thumbnails are on screen :cool:

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akbisw:
the official update has been pushed out its 4.0.4. Can someone post the launcher apk and widget apks pls.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Source plox? Nothing on Sony's website and/or twitter.

Edit: OK, found it. That's for 2011 models.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] akbisw:
Seems little misguided to update older devices first. Oh well.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] D33KK:
Does anybody else have a lockscreen which randomly changes style between 2 styles?

I could take a screenshot if this is unusual, the irregular version looks much nicer.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] wanzer:
Screen it, i'm curious!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] D33KK:
I definitely shall do, it just randomly changes, maybe 3 or 2 times a day
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
They already have everything set up from the 4.0.3 update. It's almost as simple as merge, build, test, release.

Discussed already in the Q&A section. This will be removed in ICS.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] D33KK:
Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] badriniki:
wtf is all this fking spam? maybe someone lock this post untill some real news come out?!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tsukeyomi:
I hit thanks by mistake -.-

Actually GingerBread doesn't support multi-core cpus, afaik.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Roman91:
There are several ways to enable multi cpu support in GB, don't know about XS.

Surely with ICS we'll have full hardware acceleration :D:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tsukeyomi:
Oh, didn't know about that. Maybe Sony's firmware is already tweaked to support both of the cores?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
No, of course it's not. They'll charge you $9.99 for the second core.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tsukeyomi:
I'll pay by PayPal thanks.

Joke apart, from what i know Gingerbread doesn't support multi cores cpus. This support was only introduced with Honeycomb.

Are manufacturers like Samsung (i9100) and Sony (LT26i) shipping devices with a modified version of Gingerbread that has full multi cores support?

I'm a newbie in the Android world, so go easy on me, i just want to learn ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
It's just some small changes really. It's up to the apps to use the second core fully, not the framework.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tsukeyomi:
Ok thanks.

So you're telling me that "Honeycomb(/ICS) => Multi cores support introduced" is mainly just advertising?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] 3Shirts:
My understanding is that Honeycomb/ICS introduced native support in the source but devices like the XS have a modified GB so it also supports it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gtrab:

Sony Mobile Russia is holding an event tomorrow at 11:00 Moscow time (8:00 GMT). I have no idea what that is (I never knew about it really), but something interesting may be there for us too.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] reptile64:
never quit hoping for something new! :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Okay, seems like they'll be liveblogging it through Twitter. I guess I'll have to live translate that.

Xperia Play II A.K.A. Xperia PSX
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] reptile64:
via XperiaBlog

Steve Walker, Sony Mobile’s Chief Marketing Officer:

When talking about future priorities, Walker rubbished rumours of an Xperia PLAY 2 and said the focus was on PlayStation integration with its smartphones. “Bringing the PlayStation Network to other devices is important. Doing so creates a community based relationship with customers, like those found on social networking web sites.”
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] tel033:
Do you know or hear something about an improvement in the camera app that reduce noise? Ans help autofocus or something thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ambroos:
The Play was sort of a failed experiment, I don't think Sony plans on continuing the hardware keypad devices. As it's been said on Xperiablog yesterday they'll just focus on the PS Certified devices in general.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
I think the way they designed and introduced and then advertised Xperia Play was a fail from day one. The biggest mistake of SE was to treat Xperia Play like other Xperia line phones.

Lets hope to see something we haven't seen already. too much of a wishful thinking:rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Two hours until the event.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
are you live-blogging?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Probably yeah.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Spectre51:
Heard the Xperia S will go on sale in the US through Sonystyle.com and ship with ICS July 13th. That's the semi firm date so far.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Good news for stateside people then :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
Its good news for sure to get support but more of enthusiast which you see here already got something going. Sony doesn't sell when they should in the US and bring things too late. Their advertisement sucks no questions.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] wpgchris:
Xperia s got released in Canada before the US.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Yakandu:
about updates.. one question, jellybean will be finally 5.0 or 4.1?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CROrION:
I guess 4.1

http://blog.gsmarena.com/android-4-1-jellybean-looks-set-to-debut-on-googles-nexus-7-tablet/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] arc_u:
It can't be 4.1, i heard that 4.1 will come with Nexus Tab this summer, but they won't call him Jelly Bean, which will be 5.0
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
No official info on JB yet. But my guess is it'll be 5.0 because Google codenamed the two last major releases (HC and ICS) so codenamed minor releases are no more.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
-- At 11:00 we're presenting something new and interesting for you guys! Stay tuned!

Note: -- will mean it's a translated tweet from the Sony event

EDIT: You can watch me fail at liveblogging here: http://www.wordfaire.com/sony-event/
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] shmoejoe:
Can we please keep this on topic?

It's great that people are keeping us updated on new devices, but this isn't the thread for it...

If there's no info relevant on ICS on the Xperia S, it doesn't belong here.

Will everyone please try and keep this thread clean? The past 3 days it's been mostly off topic posts about apps and new devices. If you want to talk about them, make a thread, or post in the appropriate places...this isn't the "off-topic" section.

don t understand people who is sellin the device becouse of ics update...:eek: the phone is great, is beautiful, and with and we have 3 updates 62, 67, 73...i think sony is doing the best thing for the customers.... imho ...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MJ_QaT:
Lol the app doesn't show the posts number.. But whenever I'm back home will differently read it mate.. Cheers
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
Oh, that was harsh hero. This thread was and is created only for news about ICS for us to come and ***** without anyone bugging.I didn't buy the phone for ICS but partially for the updates. I had it on my arc and I prefer it over Gingerbread.

In addition, why should I not try a new thing out?

Some people like to wait till optimized and really don't care, and some people do. Try to respect people's opinion.

I have been around Sony's stuff for three years, and not a developers to do my own thing on the phone to keep me happy but instead an enthusiast that loves to try new things out and like to go with the tech flow.

First, I do like Sony's phone design over all the phones out there

Second, in the X10 era we witnessed a total mess since SE was new to android development. They caught up with the system in 2011 line up and that left no room for them to go back to the mess. But this recent move from them could be a sign of a mess coming.

I paid for this device under impression of new software update by April and they are saying that things are different. Do you think that its wrong for them to hear our voice?

EDIT:

In addition to all that, more update on time we get on this phone the higher value it keeps and more developers to work on it. I suppose that is the bad thing too.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
No problem bro, we are here to help anyways and you do well. THanks for the link

New rules of this thread "OFFICIAL ICS DISCUSSION THREAD"

1) Don't talk about ICS!

2) Don't question Sony why!

3) Don't!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] javi3k:
what is funnny about this stuff xD is that neo L has the ics and the best phone of the sony doesnt
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
and that is all I am saying here. Why, the 2012 SONY's flagship phone doesn't have and won't have the update while they are wasting their time on older models. Unless they are planning to sell their old stuff and pushed them out of warehouse.

Instead of throwing beta at 2011 model, feed the darn 2012 model and sell them. We are the same customers had the 2011 not too long ago and moved here with promise of *** update and hardware so we can completely enjoy a new stuff.

Sony's software department always sucked, even with all the other stuff they made. Design is the best. They need to work on it really hard to catch up with design department. Just sayin....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] wing_zero8556:
You mean they need to catch up on the software department :P

Sony said they want to be number 1 android manufacturer but they can't be if they continually have lower specs and older software. Fair enough not everyone needs quadcore or ics or whatever but the simple fact is that if people are uneducated and they go in and see Sony dualcore VS HTC/Samsung quadcore I'm pretty sure they will choose the quadcore in the end simply because it has the quadcore. They don't know S3 snapdragon is or what tegra 3 is.

Even though XDA is small compared to the rest of the world, we all have friends and family who we recommend phones to. Then in turn they will tell their friends about the phone too, word of mouth is the best form of advertising and ultimately our small XDA community can have some sort of impact on their sales.

Anyway I have my Xperia S and I think its a gorgeous phone and it is 10000000000000x faster/smoother/better than my X10 and no amount of raging is going to make Sony bring out ics quicker. I just wish there was some recovery out for our phone so we can make custom roms!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
I agree Sony started doing it right. At December 2011, I thought Xperia devices would be the first ones to get ICS, after the Nexus... But my X10 MP got ICS before Sony could finish it.

If Snapdragon released just a little bit before, I'm sure we could get the S4 on Xperia S, and maybe a release already with ICS, it would be the phone of the year. Even the SGSIII wouldn't win the S4 processor, the 32 Gb of internal storage and the most awesome design ever.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chesterr:
Remember DoomLoard did a great job without having the phone himself so I'm pretty sure when he gets the phone this will be a different story,and that rom(HTC One X) is based on the stock kernel.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Cholek3:
Right, maybe I was a little bit harsh, but I still don't understand people moving to one year old SGS2, because it's got ICS before us. It is like moving one step back. But I could understand moving to HTC One, but still, my point is, there is no perfect phone. I am certain, there will be some glitches with this phone as well. If not, great for those moving to get it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] d.iverieli:
You mentioned second time about my emotional post, where I said to selling both Xperia S and buying SII and HTC One X :)

I have to sell them on Amazon or eBay and will lost some money and I don't have £1000 to buy two HTC One X, I can't afford both of them. Thats why I said that to buying Samsung SII (for my wife).

But the thing is, emotion already pass and I thinking now clearly and I already made a decision. I'm not selling Xperias, I can't. I had before Samsung Galaxy Nexus and Note, returned both because don't liked them, even Galaxy Nexus has 4.0 version and I don't miss much after I have Xperia S, its really stable, fast and beautiful phone. :)

I'd like to have ICS something much better like Xperia's Gingerbread and not HTC's ICS which already has wifi problems or SII battery drain problems and etc.

The only problem for me is unicode fonts and thats only possible rooted Xperia, main is OK, is rooted and unicode fonts and other things installed but my wife's Xperia S is sim locked and also boot loader locked (No unlock is possible), thats why I was eagerly waiting ICS update because its support unicode. :)

P.S. I am not selling because I love this phone and happy to use it every day and also tell others to buy it. :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Cholek3:
Right, either I did not know that or I did not get it, if you mentioned it. I had an impression that you selling it, because it's not getting ICS. Simple. Do apologize for my behaviour. Peace.:)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
Maybe not him but some people said that they are selling which I totally agree, why would you sell your beautiful device for delayed ICS.

After all we are here for the same common reason, and we are friends:D

I do get the ICS will land sometimes in near future, but I don't like the game Sony wants to play. If they would have said the ICS for Xperia S comes in JULY, 2012 then we were all clear.

Now, we played our card and there is a change of plan.

Hopefully we get some news about it soon.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
THanks man you did pretty good. Hopefully some news on ICS as well.<<That was on topic :D

did the event end?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] a4rocks:
And I can't help but shout "Sony get an effing better marketing manager". They just seem to not understand how to market a phone. You don't sell cakes by saying "Here's a chocolate cake, chocolate layer coming soon".

While I personally can do without ICS, but a lot of people just WANT IT
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] marcoplo:
good one l like it -> "Here's a chocolate cake, chocolate layer coming soon" perfect !!!:cool:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
I guess.

Reminder: acro S launches with ICS. And lower end devices like the Go can hardly even run it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ambroos:
You guys overestimate the importance of ICS. Aside from people on XDA and some commenters on The Verge, nobody really cares. I think Sony's PR people know more about their sales than you do :P

I work at a big independent phone retailer in Belgium, and in general people don't even know what Android is, let alone the version. They really don't care that much. And you know what, it doesn't even matter that much for us, either. The gain is minimal.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nit:
Yes, I agree.

For me, upgradable to v4 is like an extra bonus, in the sense that I have a phone with new features to play with without paying extra. :cool:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] marcjuh:
i totaly agree :D

for me i hope they release the sources of the kernells so the devs. can cook up newer custom :rolleyes::rolleyes:kernels and custom romms ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
Maybe someone can creat a system dump from the Acro since it has same specs as our XS??

What do you think guys it will be useful??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
It launches in Q3. Guess we'll have our own ICS by that time huh.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
Yeah I know but maybe some leaks ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kurk_droog:
Yeah right. You will have ICS in about 2-3 weeks.... :rolleyes::rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
May be. We have the SO-02D leak though, and neither me nor Doomlord managed to get it past the first lockscreen, so that will probably be kinda useless too.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] a4rocks:
True man. I hardly care. In fact I love Sony's Timescape UI. Hate everyone of em (like MIUI though). It's the people outside of this forum whom we can't see want ICS just because it's the latest. I see my college mates saying I wish my phone had ICS and when I ask them about Android, they don't know anything other than ICS and Gingerbread. It's to these people Sony is losing customers.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] turkification:
I don't really care about ICS, the phone is pretty awesome right now. I just want MIUI and it seems that the devs need/want ICS for that.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richteralan:
Well, if nobody really cares (and don't even know what Android is) then why Sony bothers to update, right?;)

It is probably doesn't matter much for consumers, but for app developers it is VERY important, and also to Google.
