Oh, the world will end in 2012. We all now that, right? :D

Anyway, I'm perfectly fine with they way they do it now. Can live with gingerbread for a few weeks longer. Been running it for a while on my previous phone.

The update is promised and it will come. No animals will be harmed if it takes them a month longer.

Lot's of people bought the phone knowing about this. So I really think it's not that big of a deal.

It's sunny and warm here, gonna buy me some ice cream sandwich at the ice cream van :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] :
Hey SONY! I'm waiting here:mad:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] painterceessie:
I have just bought one too.

Nice phone.

Mooi gezegd:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Devtone:
Inderdeed a nice phone! It's good to see Sony took over and made a Sony phone, as it should be.

ICS wil come, be patient. It's better to wait a little or patch/update/fail. Uhm Samsung? :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] fishyweb:
My Xperia S is O2-branded (UK). Anyone have experience of how quickly O2 release official updates once the manufacturer releases their generic ROM?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] hooglebug:
it was o2's slowness that made me root my x10. lets hope they're better this time around!!

Docomo release of ICS is due to begin in July.

http://www.nttdocomo.co.jp/info/notice/page/120326_01_m.html

Still, AT&T is the absolute slowest provider to release updates.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
Then we can expect an official debranded ICS by somewhere between Late May and Early June?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Wellynz:
Jeez, July? I am very very tempted to buy this phone, but im waiting to see what ICS looks like on the device and to see if it will fix some of the problems with the device at the moment. I dont think I will wait to July, sorry Sony you have now lost a customer.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
That is for Docomo in Japan and its because they have to modify what Sony gives them so takes longer.

World Generic ICS should be out early April.

and I don't see any issues with Xperia S that is not shared with all smart phones.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] onemandivision:
Except battery runtime, which is really bad at the moment. And it is definately not hardware related. With me it only uses 1% over night if I deactivate data, wifi and sync (and lots of other stuff removed). On auto data toggle (gsm/3g) it uses about 5%/h in standby. This is just really crap
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] krohnjw:
I don't think this is on every device though. For me, I have 2 push accounts on all night and lose < 2% / hour overnight on 3G, 1% / hour on wifi. This is on par with every other GSM device I've had in the last three years.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ambroos:
Generic ICS for unbranded carrier-independent devices will start arriving by the end of May.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dibdin:
Source please?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
Do you guys think that it is possible to give 2011 handsets ICS first and then 2012? Whats up with marketing strategy?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] kiwiandy:
they are saying From July?

I cant see where they list the Xperia S there? anyway updates always come very slowly from the Japanese operators, so I would expect english versions to be earlier
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Saeen:
I wish this would be the case, need ICS badly. Need to run that Chrome browser and better notification bar. Overall an ICS ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
And those new settings! Man, I am the only one that want to see it on a HD screen? And flying?

It lags time to time on my CM9, Xperia X10 Mini Pro...

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] augie7107:
There is no Xperia S in Japan.

It is called the Xperia NX SO-02D.

I agree that generic versions should be out sooner.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
Maybe Sony will ;)

Wondering if Googooli will use the Moto to get their phone work done. Always wanted a Google phone but hate the look.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
I think that'll be Asus for tablets, Sony or Asus or Samsung for the flagship (looks like HTC don't want to be involved with the Nexi any more) and Moto for middle class / low-end devices.

P.S. If 'Googooli' is a pun on 'nexi', then it's actually the correct way. Nexuses or nexus is also possible.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
Xperia Sexus

^^^I bet they will sell tons of those ;)

K900, you are more like a information hub.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Come to think about it, the Xperia branding somehow doesn't match the Nexus branding. Maybe Google Play. It could be like Xperia Pl... wait, oh shi~

Actually I just noticed this spelling somewhere on The Verge or maybe Engadget and googled it. So I guess the real information hub is the guy who either knows Latin or found this first :)

This thread was off topic from day one when it was created.

We all know that we are here to talk about something that we have wanted to use on our beloved Xperia S for a long time. "Android Ice cream Sandwich"

But for know, lets talk about you...:cool: nah...

I am hoping more for Vanilla ICS on Xperia S. I do like Sony's UI but Vanilla ICS is nice as well.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Well when we get official ICS, we'll get AOSP as well. I'll see if my exam schedule allows me (don't fail me here, Sony) to get AOKP building quickly when it's out.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gtrab:
Branding is everything :D

My PURE SEX1 ROM (ejem, pure Sony Ericsson X1 ROM) for the Xperia X1 was a big hit some yearss ago, and curiously enough it's still used by many, despite being abandoned two years ago (I migrated to android)

:rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
Even I had that on my X1. My black X1 was much sexier using that ROM. ;) Maybe I owe you one "Thanks" let me do that now.

Hopefully you do some ICS Custom ROMs soon.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jonmorris:
If you ignore the fact there are an awful lot of handsets Samsung released that isn't on the list AT ALL. Handsets that will never get an update.

Sony, by contrast, never released any really low end handsets that can't have ICS and are able to update EVERY handset they released last year - and will probably do them all at pretty much the same time (such is the advantage of using the same platform).

If someone compiles a list of the percentage of handsets offered upgrades as a whole from any one manufacturer, Sony is likely to do very well indeed.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] D33KK:
I'm sorry for straying off Topic but does anyone have any info at all about a new nexus? Even a codename
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Not much. Quite a lot of info on the tablet though... google it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gtrab:
South POLE ?? That's cool (no pun intended)

---------- Post added at 01:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:17 PM ----------

Rumor is there will be no single nexus phone, but many of them from several manufacturers, their new hardware play store is needing variety.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
I get it.

But I still find it weird to sell the phone without ICS where other big'o'companies don't do that. I buy a new phone from Sony every March-April, X10 had this issue, Arc came all updated then Xperia S is following tails of X10 so far. 2 months and 15 days has passed and no ICS on Xperia S.

and I don't really care for older devices to get anything. They could have done it after they are done with new devices.

But, that is just me...:D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
The thing is, in the market no one gives a duck about ICS or GB or whatever. They want a device that 'just works'. That's why Sony went with GB: it's very polished and very stable.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
Yes, I totally understand and I would say probably 40% of Xperia S owners are even on here that probably 30% care for stable release and 10% just want ICS.

Did I just make numbers up?:eek:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
From my experience, 10% know what ICS is. From them about 5% just know that it's 'the next thing' and about 2% actually have reasons to upgrade. About 0.5 of the rest 90% are waiting for iOS 5.1. I'm making the numbers up, never actually counted, but that's closer to the way things are.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Apology11:
I wait for ICS because I want to have cm9 and other mods that are Not developed yet because it would be useless to develope it for gb and everybody upgrades to ICS and then its useless

I am waiting for Vanilla ICS and CM9.

By June, we should be in good shape.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mzr7:
Well it will look the same as this rom unless you go for cm9. But more importantly Chrome!!!!! n BOOM! Life in perfect sync:D

Jokes apart most people don't know about ics yet they just think it's something cool n new so must have it. I'm saying this considering the vast number of people owning android devices
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mzr7:
Btw completely off topic anyone played temple run after the update? Oooooh so many pixels :eek: :D lol
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] D33KK:
CM is my personal favourite :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jonmorris:
For those of us on here desperate for ICS, I can actually predict there will be a large number of people who will not actually like the changes when they get ICS on their Xperia later in the year.

I like ICS. I really liked the Google Nexus implementation of it, but didn't like its camera and lack of a camera button. However, I'm not a massive fan of how Google has changed the look of its apps, or even the new guidelines being given to developers to conform to this rather boring design.

Let's put things in context. Until the jump from Android 2.x to 4.x - most changes were fairly minimal and added new features behind-the-scenes. ICS is visually different (unless Sony is planning to hide the UI a lot with its own customisation) and I wonder how many people will kick off. Think of the type of person that hits the roof when you moved some icons on their PC desktop and they consider you've broken it and they can't use it any more!

Given Honeycomb tablets hardly sold, a LOT of people will not recognise Android 4 and will need to take time to get used to it. Once again, your average customer (possibly upgrading from an earlier Android device) is not going to be as desperate for ICS as we think.

[As an aside, think of how many people will cope when Windows 8 comes out, or not!]
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] im_iceman:
Most of the sony ICS UI will look the same as the 2.3.7 interface that you see today.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Lex_Michdeandroid:
Uhm, I dont know where I should go to check out where notification spam comes from, can someone tell me the directions? Airpush detector doesnt detect anything... It pisses me off some piece of software is spamming me with this. I have a picture, I'll try to upload when I'm in the right spot. Thanks!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mzr7:
You know I wonder if people said the same thing when Windows replaced msdos :p look as far as I know Sony and Google listen to the community at large so yeah not a bad thing if we don't like it as long as it's good feedback not senseless banter better for the versions to come oh btw the Sony rom will look the same and will include the things that even a common everyday non techie person will love about ics. task manager is better, better battery life, Chrome!!to name a few
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jonmorris:
If I think of my mum, who gets things set up just the way she likes it and - that's it - never touch it again, 'most' isn't a good thing. She'd spot changes in a nanosecond. :p

Me, on the other hand, love things that have changed (hopefully for the better). It can make it feel like having just bought something brand new!

---------- Post added at 10:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:12 PM ----------

Of course they did. The jump to Windows was a big step for many.

After that, I think it's fair to say that the changes were quite gradual. Microsoft is really taking a risk (but all credit to them for having the guts to do so) with the jump from Windows 7 to 8.

Apple hasn't changed too much with each version of OS X.

Android didn't change too much either. Honeycomb was a bit leap, and if anyone has used it then 4 isn't going to be a shock. It is fair to say the Galaxy Nexus was quite different (and in a good way) and that's probably why so many of us want ICS. If it wasn't different then we'd hardly be bothered, right? :)

I'm ignoring the other improvements, such as the accelerated UI, because most customers won't ever know about such things - or care to ask. If you told them, their eyes would glaze over!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mzr7:
Exactly at the latter btw at Windows you know we live an age where we are fed with new thing stuff every day and it's like normal to us now I think we adapt better than them. at windows 8 yeah huge risk I like it at times using it but what thing Microsoft is making a mistake is app development and store should be open now! So that at time of release we have a reasonable amount of applications.

P.s let's get back on the topic before k900 kills us :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richteralan:
I found CM is gradually less attractive.

Was a great fan of CM when I had my HTC HD2, less when I had my G2X.

Now the Sony interface is very well-designed and I actually don't miss the CM.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DooMLoRD:
agreed!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
Oh,

Doomlord is giving "Thank you" away...lets agree with him.

Nah, not saying that CM is attractive but I am not fan of Sony design. Nothing is perfect after all.

At least at CM there are some Themes that I can get off Google Play.

I am more toward Pure Icecream stock.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richteralan:
I used stock ICS themes for a few months on my TF101.

Nothing to get excited actually.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
I had beta ICS on my arc and loved it. People like different thing, to me Sony UI is nice but needs more work for what they claim.

I used "MellowYellow Theme for CM7" 'purchased' for CM7 and it was ok.

I do like to be able to change theme ever now and then.

I do flash different things alot on my device since I get bored from all of them...if I had an iPhone I would have killed myself by now.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] realfelix:
how this just turned into massive off-topic posts since i've checked this 2 hours ago is incredible LOL :D

for me.. i want ICS because of the new features(chrome, better batterylife, better memory management and task manager, accelerated UI(finally *-*), etc etc you know what i mean i think...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] D33KK:
This is turning into real time messaging not a forum!

I like cm due to (in my experiences) there has been v good dev support, and it's very customizable

Yes, Sony has done this before and I think it's the right way of releasing important updates :)

If you post that it's certified 2 weeks before releasing it you will have people that where waiting and will be disappointed because it's certified but not released yet...
