ics update delayed till April 15 th..no ota update will be available...only phone can b updated via pc companion :'(..overall very bad news
[Xperia Arc General] OmarBizreh:
I have a feeling it's april's fool! and if not, I really do hope they:

1- Keep their word, because a company like Sony should not be playing games ...

2- Try to fix as much as possible bugs, lacks ....etc

they got extra 2 weeks now, let's wait and see :cool:

wow new updated....
[Xperia Arc General] TheHaso:
ITS DELAYED !!

I hope that you wasn't surprised! Lol

Nope, not at all, but a bit broken :-P

From my sexy LT15i
[Xperia Arc General] OmarBizreh:
The best part of it, it's only delayed for two weeks :D

by the way even if it's out of the discussion but is anyone facing the problem where the phone is connected to the PC / Laptop, but the OS doesn't detect the phone unless SD Card (which is 8GB) is unmounted?!
[Xperia Arc General] Poker gypsy:
Keep your fingers crossed and get out your rabbit foot lol we went from March to hopefully middle of April? And that's a maybe and I have a feeling that us arc owners will be even more delayed! The s will probably get it first, but I hope that I'm wrong
[Xperia Arc General] OmarBizreh:
actually I'm an Arc S owner, and was kinda disappointed they delayed the release :(

but ya for Arc owners I'm sure you won't be happy to hear you are delayed for another month :S
[Xperia Arc General] joeTaco:
This is a very interesting article, but it has me a bit worried. Sony is admitting that part of the reason this update isn't OTA is because they aren't confident about ICS performance. Saying it's too demanding to be as stable as GB on 2011 Xperias. I was hoping the experience would get quicker and smoother, not just laggier and prettier.

[Xperia Arc General] doomed151:
That article is mostly true. ICS was made with the Galaxy Nexus in mind (720p screen, dual-core processor, 1GB RAM). The 340 MB available RAM in 2011 Xperia lineup is just enough to run ICS but still, it'll be worth it.
[Xperia Arc General] zed011:
Nexus S can run ICS well, why can't the 2011 Xperia lineup? Same limitation on ram
[Xperia Arc General] nhrabbi:
When i first got the xperia arc s it had like 75% ram of being used after i installed my apps alongside the sony bloatware. After i rooted my phone and removed the bloatware its like 50% :O it does mean if we can root the sony ics rom and remove the bloatware the system will be pretty much stable.
[Xperia Arc General] zed011:
I'm not sure about the ram usage on stock rom and applications but ram usage reads to be 153MB used and 155MB free on my Arc according to what I see in settings > application > running
[Xperia Arc General] Okluzhion:
I'm using krabappel's Ice Cream Sony ROM and I have to say that it's smoother than stock GB and CM7 which I used. I don't remember my phone being so responsive and fast. So I don't know... maybe it's not meant to be for phones with low RAM capacity, but I have a feeling that they're just trying to make an excuse to say "f**k off" to our devices in a pretty way.

Sent from my LT15i (Xperia arc) on KA ICSony
[Xperia Arc General] zed011:
Exactly. I see all these ICS roms in development here at the forum while sony tries to make excuses. It has already been shown that custom roms run well.
[Xperia Arc General] Jinx13:
At least release an official beta for the Arc :(
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
It does run on Nexus S.

But without oc to 1.3GHz or 1.46GHz and custom ROM it isn't really smooth.
[Xperia Arc General] chauhanjayc:
Sony Mobile has confirmed that the Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update for 2011 Xperia handsets will start from mid-April 2012. The first phones to get the update will be the Xperia arc S, Xperia neo V and Xperia ray. This rollout will continue over 4-6 weeks.

Following on from these handsets, the second wave of updates for the rest of the 2011 Xperia range will start from end of May/early June. This includes updates for the following handsets: Xperia arc, Xperia PLAY, Xperia neo, Xperia mini, Xperia mini pro, Xperia pro, Xperia active and Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman. The Xperia S will see an upgrade “from the later part of the second quarter”, therefore don’t expect it before June 2012.

Sony Mobile had originally stated that the ICS update for the Xperia arc S, Xperia neo V and Xperia ray would commence from end of March/early April. They also communicated that the rest of the 2011 line-up would get Android 4.0 from end April/early May. This implies around a month’s delay for some Xperia handsets.

Sony confirmed that the update will take place via PC Companion/SEUS and Bridge for Mac only. There will be no OTA updates and no notifications either. The reason behind this is that they want users to make a conscious decision when upgrading to ICS given that it is a significant revamp and that it “may impact performance in some user scenarios” given that it requires more resources.

[Xperia Arc General] frankie99969:
oh dear, this is getting old, sounds like theyve dug themselves one big hole with the upgrade for the 2011 phones, i really wish another company would make a decent looking phone so i can move on
[Xperia Arc General] mhyke13ph:
ICS 4.0 for Xperia 2011

Google Nexus S have 1GHZ and 512 RAM and can run ICS with no Problem, but UI is not heavily skinned.

Xperia Neo L comes with ICS out of the Box but also It share's the same specs for Xperia 2011 1GHZ and a 512 RAM but it is also skinned with NXT UXP.

This is Confusing :confused:

They still have a month to fully optimized Android 4.0.3 for Xperia 2011 and not giving as dilemma of choosing their Gingerbread 2.3.4 and Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3

but I hope they will also release Gingerbread 2.3.7 or newer version for Xperia 2011 if we are to update and choose between the 2 Android versions 2.3.x/4.0.x and we can upgrade/downgrade to try them out
[Xperia Arc General] Poker gypsy:
Oh yeah good old sony! Always saying that they will not be last on updates, this sounds more and more like the x10!
[Xperia Arc General] darth5zaft:
Not really by end of 2nd quarter ALL sony 2011 n 2012 phone will have ICS option.

Can we say the same to other oem?.whats the record 3 out of 50?

And I'm sure glad sony didn't promising early 2012 update only to GLADLY announce update on Q2 at end of march..

Android ICS Xperia firmware certified for Xperia arc, arc S, neo V and ray
[Xperia Arc General] 8axter:
Hi guys!

I see some beta versions of ICS ROM, some kernels.. MIUI or CM hav elots of bugs, I see that camcorder isn't working..

Here's my question:

Can I have ICS kernel and some latest non-ics firmware?

I've been trying DOOMKERNEL v20 and v19 with some ROMS, but I get like 5 reboots per day, so I'd love to try ICS kernel but with fully working ROM.
[Xperia Arc General] wayne850:
You mean ics Kernel on gingerbread rom??? Doesn't work dude ;)
[Xperia Arc General] Poker gypsy:
The problem is that the arc hads such low memory that ics is very laggy, and not to mention that jelly bean will be out soon
[Xperia Arc General] OmarBizreh:
Jelly bean is still 6 months away, I recall ICS was out in October :confused:

But they should have made it like Apple, each device supports the current FW, and two more updates ...

While it seems my Arc S will only be able to support GB, and ICS ...

To look at the bright side, it will be supporting ICS :D :p
[Xperia Arc General] dani31:
Google's Nexus S has the same amount of RAM and runs ICS fine with a slower processor. Let's wait for the final version and judge later.

You people complain that ICS is delayed 2 weeks and worry that JB will be out too soon, you must be kidding.
[Xperia Arc General] azaberl:
Updated article from developers.
[Xperia Arc General] Poker gypsy:
Sony testing it and it's very laggie that's what the delay is and saying because of not enough ram
[Xperia Arc General] Poker gypsy:
And the arc was sapose to get ICS in March now end of April, may June? That's a lot more than 2weeks
[Xperia Arc General] dp94:
It was never march for the arc!

It was end march/beginning april for the arc S, neo V and ray.

And end april/beginning may for all other Xperia 2011 handsets.

-> It has been delayed 2 weeks like everyone says. ;)
[Xperia Arc General] Flo95:
Yeah, but Nexus S runs vanilla ICS unlike our devices
[Xperia Arc General] bassie112:
We can make it vanilla by removing SE stuff. SE has proven themselves to deliver high quality software with maximum performance. So in my opinion ICS from SE should work just as fast (or faster) than the Nexus S. Samsung never uses the hardware's full potential.
[Xperia Arc General] dani31:
Different UI means just that - different - not necessary slower.

I don't think Sony's icons consume more RAM than vanilla ICS icons.

As long as Sony will refrain from running more services in the background, it should be OK. A few pre-installed apps will make no difference.

ics update video

ICS UPDATE FINAL VERSION

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XicEUl1t0iY
[Xperia Arc General] joeTaco:
Is it just me, or does Sony's blog update ("we have already addressed these challenges") contradict what they already said? When they announced the delay, they said that potentially reduced performance was one reason that ICS wouldn't be OTA. Now they say there's no problem. Which is it?
[Xperia Arc General] cryogenix:
ka ice cream sony is devilishly fast for me and even though it's based on the beta, i have only found one issue and that is video stuttering a bit (like 3 to 4 times) when i play 720p vids...

even so, with all the cool bloats (timescape etc), my arc still runs smooth although i think the supercharger contributes to the majority of its responsiveness...

and even though there still isn't an oc (doom kernel) for it, at 1ghz, it really is fast and runs all of my apps like it used to...

so on topic, if you are itching for the official ics realease, do try the beta based custom roms... i've been on it since february (before getting really satisfied with ka)... the beta is actually very good already for daily use...

otherwise, patience for our sony devs is the least we could do to motivate them more with quality release =)
[Xperia Arc General] gogobaba:
I hope there will be fast method for root with locked bootloader because i dont want to lose my warrenty and after that a way to remove the junk .apks i believe that after removing them the phone will be faster.About the samsung with hte ICS a fr of mine got one and its running like a charm its running even faster then my arc s because it doesnt not have all the just apps eating up ram

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] d12unk13astard:
Think i remember reading somewhere that jellybean is tablet only. Besides why would they release another os update for phones when ics has barely started to appear on some phones.

What was it 2010 when honeycomb released for tabs.. ya then they're due for another os update.

edit: guess it could be for both phones + tabs..

Ice cream sandwich WAS supposed to unify the Tablets and phones but I dont think it is going the way that they want it to. So from what I have been reading Jellybeen will be another attempt at unifying both device segments.

Rumors are rumors for a reason. Because people make **** up about others to make them look bad to make themselves look better. Rumors are rumors, and that's all they will ever be.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] abusedcloth:
I think your looking way too far into that, for anyone who is considering this, they will announce it, maybe, but that's all your looking at; Google telling you what their working on. It's gonna be April and devices are barely coming around to ICS, let alone the E4GT, well officially....
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Even *if* it is released in Q3 I doubt Samsung will roll this out for the GS2 and variations unless there is a very (read: cost-effective) reason to do so. It would be very close to the end of the average 18 month support window. Need further proof? Look at the Galaxy S/i9000 and see if they're getting ICS officially. (So far the word I've heard and seen is "no.") Then again, did the original Galaxy S sell even close to as many devices globally versus the GS2 and all variations?

Regardless of the official decision down the road, I'll bet that even if Samsung doesn't roll out any newer releases for these devices you'll probably see people take the initiative and do it on their own. The Linux kernel will probably not have another version update before then so drivers and other components from ICS builds should hopefully fit into JB.

That's my speculation on it, please don't treat this as anything but.

Thanks,

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Exleh:
Well, when I used to have CM7, the lockscreen would go landscape for a second and the sliders would be cut up in weird ways, so I always thought it was a bug. I've never seen a landscape caller ID, do you mean landscape while in a call?

Yes,the caller id is in landscape when the phone rings and while it is on the call.
