hey... i get rid of companys selling greate Hardware with laggy and buggy software - i had this with my Galaxy S. I wrote a post with all the problems i have - and a lot of people having problems.

XDA and Sony need us to improve things - but Sony makes Millions and Billions with our money (ok Google too - I'm disappointet with some things too) and if I pay 500€ or more - i wanna have a good device - i dont wanna be the next beta tester...

Cheers
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MJ_QaT:
How can the Xperia S be buggy?

I never faced any problems with stability and speed.. I am loving this device even with gingerbread.. They did very well with the software and don't understand why the hate?

You can moan about the delays but saying " good hardware but poor software" is a bit not true

Most stable software I ever experienced
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richteralan:
What's new?

Some preparatory update to ICS?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gtrab:
Exactly. And I really hope so; Sony has been really committed to support the devs community lately.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Derp. I need to get more EMMA access >.<
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] a4rocks:
On a quick note, this just in from The Verge's review of Samsung Galaxy S III-

"One thing that goes consistently overlooked with respect to Samsung’s phones is the company’s ignominious track record with Android software updates. There may be worse offenders out there, but Samsung’s chronic failure to update its devices on time (or at all) is a significant black mark for a brand looking to lead the way in almost every other respect. Thus, as much as I may enjoy the Galaxy S III today, I have to temper that enthusiasm with the knowledge that its long-term future may not be as rosy as that of a stock Android device"

http://www.theverge.com/2012/5/25/3042640/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-review

And people still don't trust Sony?! Everyone should be aware of this.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] augie7107:
So I guess all the "this week, real soon" posts were based on speculation, rather than facts. Docomo stated early July so it looks like that is when my device will have ICS.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jimbobcox:
One day im gonna view this thread and actually see a post that answers the OP. I cant wait for ICS but what is with all the bull****! Id rather wait months for a solid bug free release than a half arsed release to keep people quiet! Patients is a virtue!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
Double post
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pato66:
still we have left paris
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
yeah, it was posted few pages back.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] FenrirMX:
This. So much this.

The stock GB ROM is good enough that I can wait a couple more weeks for a good, stable ICS.

Only gripe I had with the device was the battery life which could still be better, but is pretty damn good after the. 73 update ( no thanks to Sony UK)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
That was based on my info and somehow they keep delaying it or it's just some misunderstanding. Again, from what I know, they already have a build that's set to be final.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] unknown13x:
It's global :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] fifi139:
true. but usually with major upgrade, we need to install all the apps (thru titanium backup), set the wallpaper, etc. Which sometimes it's tiring (not to mention boring).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Upgrade to ICS will not require wiping.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] del1701:
Does anyone know when this one is likely to be released?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] unknown13x:
Seems like a few weeks would be plausible since I don't see any region has a debug version of this anymore, meaning the firmware is ready for deploy to production units.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Can you download it? Please, check the bootloader version cause I can't >.<
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] del1701:
Nice thanks, I hope they release it sooner though as it seems a little strange if Sony waits a couple more weeks seeing that ics is due at the end of June.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mirig10:
official blog from sony mobile website ICS willbe on late June

Now it's official that ICS for S will at the end of next month with some delay for U to Q3 check it on sony mobile website on blogs

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mzr7:
Already posted. But thanks anyways

It's bad enough that someone posts something that already has been posted. Please stop posting the number of times it has been posted already btw its 4 or 5 not 2 :p

Umm can someone please update the FAQ or the topic name so we don't get oh xperia s ics will come end of June official by Sony posts anymore

Thank you!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Efe64:
ICS in June.. F8ck yeah

And this will be #9? Lol

Stop posting that craps everyone knows it...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richteralan:
Now is only 4 weeks to the end of June.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] del1701:
Ah we was talking about the .75 update ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richteralan:
That's what I meant. Only 4 weeks till ICS and we suppose to have another update in between?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] del1701:
Well if we are meant to get this update before ICS lets hope it comes out soon otherwise it hardly seems worth it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
Maybe we will have to wait more than 4 weeks,who knows :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
More than 4 weeks? When I bought it, I thought: "Hopefully it will get ICS by late May/ Early June. I can stand a few weeks without HaxSync, Boid and Chrome Beta."

But now... Another month? Hopefully there will be a leak ASAP of the final firmware to us
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
Leak:rolleyes: and our happy days will begin :eek:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chesterr:
Ah don't worry through out June we'll get ICS. I guess! Hopefully!

and all the ICS I've seen suck to the bottom!so far Nexus and Sony Ericsson has done a good job with it!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DooMLoRD:
Lets see if I can get something up and running for u guys ;-)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Arabaldo:
Awesome :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] chesterr:
Yes DoomLord has spoken, praise Doom!!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Bongo2k:
You do realise that Chrome is only available for ARM7 devices(Tablets) at the moment?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
Google says otherwise

I had Chrome Beta on my arc when ICS hit.

We have all these excused just to get ICS update.:D

Doom, show them who is the man....
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] a4rocks:
Praise the Lord :-)

Sent from my wonderful Xperia S
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
You do realise that XS has a ARMv7 processor, and that GNexus (a phone) has support to it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] D33KK:
Perhaps chrome on my galaxy s 1 was just a dream...

:what:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dynamic503:
Where can we see? :)

Seems pretty good, looks smooth on video. Seems like we get that awesome gallery from the GX as well :D and walkman app (though this was proved a few pages ago, just wanted to reconfirm :P)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
there is always a reason to use F5 key. thank you...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] wizdomfellas:
i love the new gallery, seem like QuickPic with many improvements.

the transition between homescreen seems quite fast.

the walkman app looks like old our music player. just rebranding the walkman name?:confused:

what do you mean?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
I meant refreshing the page till it was uploaded :D Looking good. Thanks for the effort.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] richteralan:
Seems like build 401.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
Finally something real :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DooMLoRD:
the new Gallery looks awesome!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Now that's interesting. Maybe I'll be able to upload that thing for you. No promises though...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DooMLoRD:
does anyone have Xperia NX (SO-02D) with unlocked bootloader?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
Aren't those DOCOMO version and bootloader unlocker not released yet? I know you could get them sim-unlocked but not sure about bootloader.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DooMLoRD:
the person who contacted me initially had locked bootloader with no way to unlock it.,,
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] arc_u:
But I get time to watch it, and gallery is awesome...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gtrab:
Cool you were able to mirror it

fast fingers

:D

I already have official ICS on my Arc (Arc S ICS), but this ICS is definitely improved and enhanced, more Loaded than the Arc one !!

(Arc = less memory space for ICS)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
What's interesting is it says Copyright SEMC Thailand in the footer on SonyXP.com which means it's at least somewhat official and that also likely means that PR teams have it already. So I still think that the release is closer than they say.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] CROrION:
Would love to have this baby on my phone right now :D

Hope there will be nice leak soon!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] wizdomfellas:
i got message from sonyxpth

"Hi wizdomfellas, please remove all our videos from your channel as you are infringing our creation. If not done so, we will report to YouTube for our protection of our content. Thank you."

i change to unlisted video
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
Lol why they put it on YouTube then they remove it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] unknown13x:
Because it's not time to do so yet. So unless you want someone to get fired, I would suggest to comply with their request and remove the video completely.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
But the video was from official site yes??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
I think it's some community website, but endorsed by Sony.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] unknown13x:
No it's not from official site, and we have someone's job ready to be jeopardized if it's not removed. Wizdomfellas, I would really suggest you remove all videos. I still see one that's unlisted, but I can still watch it. :mad:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] wizdomfellas:
hmm. ok, i've completely deleted it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] edowar:
it seems the video is top secret from sony :P.

Btw why so forbidden to watch it??
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
As I said, if you leak something, you're fired. That's not even a question. So if we keep the video, the guy who did it can lose his job.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sky94:
K900, but why not to do it anonymously? i think it`s not easy to find someone who did it, and firing all the employers it`s not a considerable option too :)

p.s. where are u from? asking just because i`m from Ukraine, and saw you writing russian somewhere on xda.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mzr7:
Dammit I missed it. K so can we get a run down of the features/highlights etc that were spotted in the video for those who didn't see it that won't harm anyone's job right? So please can you?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] wizdomfellas:
at least we know ICS is near now :D

"Hi wizdomfellas, our employee uploaded without permission to do so. This video is meant to be released soon, but not at this moment. Please understand and we greatly appreciate your effort to comply to our request. Thank you once again."
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Yakandu:
im sure sony have enough resources to investigate the employees and find the leaker, would you risk your job just to make happy some unknown people from a forum? nah

PD: Thanks for the video
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] arc_u:
Still have a video on YouTube :(
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mzr7:
Tell them to not fire him he made a lot of consumers happy :-P
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] sky94:
Yakandu, and i don`t think so. guy can do this via free wi-fi somewhere far from places he used to be in, and via just created youtube/vimeo account therefore it`s kinda hard to detect that bastard ;)

Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0 for Xperia S

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DooMLoRD:
It would be in the communities best interest to not mirror that video... Delete all copies of it if you have uploaded it somewhere...

Remember Sony takes such leaks very seriously and it will surely lead to people linked to it getting fired... Most who saw it can give full details as to how it was...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mzr7:
Xperia blog also has a video up I got an update via twitter

xperia P with ICS.

its not S cause its too small and they showed the back cover.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Yakandu:
Woha! i missed that 2 posts! hehehe what do you mean by "something" :D

its xperia S, see the buttons, they are not the same for XS and XP. Also, that "sony ericsson" up there is so strange.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DooMLoRD:
this is probably what most people are interested in:

Device Model No: LT26i

Android Version: 4.0.4

Android Kernel: 3.0.8

Firmware version: 6.1.A.0.401
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] LitoNi:
lol o right. my hands are just small. HAHA!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] reptile64:
That Sony Ericsson up there.. it's because this is a developer unit and they have them before the Sony - Ericsson got divorced for good :D
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Yakandu:
divorce? i though Sony just "took direct control" over ericsson (they bought ericsson). :confused:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] reptile64:
whatever, we are talking about the same thing :p
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Yakandu:

that was for me?

i also have the new gallery app but it gives an error while installing "missing shared library", if someone can point me toward the files which would be required i can post that app too ;)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
Maybe you have to put in system/app and set the permissions rw-r-r
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] poo-tang:
Interesting. Does this mean booting ? also thanks for the music. should work on all the ics xperia's but mite need few libs and other files for it all to work as it should do. :)

Notice the kernel build date - April 19,2012

A month of testing has already passed.

Gallery looks nice and widget add screen is revamped.

Alot of it looks like what we have now. The music player looks identical with a new icon.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] wing_zero8556:
Nope, Sony just bought Ericsson's shares in the Sony Ericsson venture, they didn't buy the company Ericsson

ics update

i read that it comes to europe at the end of june
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] somemadcaaant:
Wow I'm much happier now seeing something TANGIBLE about Ics for the sxs even tho it was a crappy low quality video, in a another language I couldn't understand in that strange part of youtube.

sonyxp and Sony it self should feel humbled for making us all HAPPY, I grew tired of the dangled carrot over our heads with not even a photo for the past few months.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Nimche:
^^^That and I also think they should promote that employee for making us happy before we start losing faith again.

I like that SE's strategy when they had a solid forum member here to have a discussion with developers and users first at arc's forum. Same thing would have been very nice, but K900 & unknownx13 took the burden. Thank you guys.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] imTigger:
It's quite smooth and new Gallery is impressive

But camera slider in lockscreen is really pointless for our Xperia S:cool:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] mahesh_9j:
DEV's - Now what are you waiting for..:) good luck
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
No one has the files. At least no one I know.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
I can't wait anymore. I need that Gallery, Music and Video apps. Hope the video app runs mkv files and show subtitles.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Nope. At least not in-container subtitles.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Ambroos:
I highly doubt you will ever see any Sony software properly play back things in containers that are only used for piracy. You seem to forget that Sony is HUGE when it comes to media, with Sony Music Entertainment and Sony Pictures Entertainment, they won't ever make piracy 'easy' :P

If you want to watch MKV's with the built-in subtitles you can always use DicePlayer or something else. They almost always support hardware video, even for MKV's, so you get all the advantages of the Bravia Engine coupled with a great interface and support for subtitles.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] damirbusic:
Rock Player is perfect for any video format. I only hope that ICS will come out soon and normal root for it will come out even sooner :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
I know about other players, but is good to have just a awesome app for that, and not a useless awesome app, as I download many things. ( everything is so expensive in Brazil). Maybe I just integrate the subtitles in my Pc before transferring to the phone. At least Mkv, will it reproduce it?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
It doesn't support subtitles at all I think. I'll check when I get to play with the device again. Also you should try MX Player, it's nice and handles almost anything I tested it with. The only things that failed were a weird Chinese camera recording and a 5GB raw bitmap video. All my movies ( mostly ripped from BluRay ) and anime worked just fine.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pezo:
Is the second slider on the lockscreen always the camera or can it be changed back to silent/sound?

Seeing as we have a quick start function for the camera this would be pretty useless and I use the silent slider quite a lot.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Haven't seen an option to change it. Haven't looked too much though, I don't really care.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Felimenta97:
I use it. What I want is everything in a single app, not needing to use third party apps. It just bloats the phone more and more. And the movie app is simply beautiful.

What else we can expect that wasn't said or shown in the videos? Anything hided?
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
Not much really. They've made a whole bunch of tweaks to make it more Holo, but there's not much new stuff feature wise on the Sony side.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gm007:
Guys come on,this is not video players discussion thread.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] DooMLoRD:

i think new video...or other leak will come before :rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jonmorris:
They bought Ericsson out, they didn't take over Ericsson. (Edit: Just seen that someone else posted that earlier - sorry!)

The company is still run just as it was, with the same people. Very little has changed yet, as it's still not integrated within Sony itself (and might not be).
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] D33KK:
Thanks and kudos to the ninja who download the leaked vid!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] gtrab:
I don't think so

....unless you wat to see a ton of new threads appear everytime a leak o rumor emerges

At least this thread centralizes the shizz
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] dynamic503:
in the video, orientation rotation is very smooth, i like it!
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] nit:
Yes, in the video, the operations look smoother than in Gingerbread.

I've heard people complaining about the ICS upgrade on Samsung Galexy Note makes the mobile less smooth. It seems that Sony is doing a good job in this. :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] pixy132:
That's the price we paid to get a late update :)

But I like the fact that Sony keeps posting updates about upgrade timeline and stuff like that, not like some manufacturers who never bother to inform consumers :cool:
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] realfelix:
well.. i think that the release isn't that far away now .. i don't trust "end june" the fw in the video seemed to be near final to me.. everything ran smooth , new features included, maybe there are still some bugs which they need to fix but i think its around the corner :)
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] K900:
That and you haven't seen a later build I just saw. Feels sooooo freaking smooth. In ya face SGS3 :P

I'm not. In fact I don't have anything to do with Sony really. I like their products and I know some people who work there so that's where I get the info. Nothing more.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] jonmorris:
Or you could go for the Motorola approach, where you issue a list of every handset and then say the next update will be in about five years, also making sure you pick and choose by region - so a phone might get ICS here, but not there - despite being the exact same hardware!

Yes, I'd say that Sony is one of the better manufacturers for doing updates - even if people might have to wait a little longer.
