I'm waiting for it, but not so excited by JB. We will see, how many things be broken in CM10 JB ROM, and how smooth they are to be. Maybe be smoother and faster, maybe work similar as ICS. I'm little dissapointed, that JB have not Flash support, sometimes it's usefull, maybe i've stay in ICS if progress be weak...
[Xperia Arc General] Devoct:
well, what makes JB so different with ICS is the project butter, if there is a JB ROM for Arc, then i think it should project butter included,

if it's only the interface and apps changes, than it's not so much different from ICS ROM. :o
[Xperia Arc General] WujekT:
Not only, JB is much better optimized than ICS and have few improvements in security. However, without official ICS from Sony or kind a developer pack, we can have problem with hardware drivers and some known issues, like weird working ALS.... However, differences between ICS and JB are similar like in Froyo and GB, there is a chance, for just working backported drivers.

I'm waiting for CM10, but I hope that sony will update our devices to JB
[Xperia Arc General] Saiger:
i hope MIUI is working on jelly bean.. but without the official sony jb source this is gonna be difficouldt to port for arc/s.. :crying:
[Xperia Arc General] Fumas:
Who can briefly explain me how does an update like Jelly Bean can be created on our Arc?

I mean: from where are taken the files to work with, and who works on them?

hypothetically, could i work with them?

Thank you :)
[Xperia Arc General] Saiger:
all developers work with the official sources from google or sony/samsung/lg.....

but to port a android version like jb to the arc without the official sony sources is very difficlouldt

i hope a developer like jj :good::good::good::good: port the jb aosp to arc :D
[Xperia Arc General] BigBang79:
How long must we wait until the first version jelly bean for the ARC / ARC S appears?:confused:	I can hardly wait!:fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed: especially when one reads that it turns for this and this is already available;)
[Xperia Arc General] Punkid:
Samsung just announced that the S2 will be getting jellybean officially....now Sony MUST MUST update the Arc to JB, or i wont be able to show my face to my friend with S2 :( ...pleaaasseee sony please !!
[Xperia Arc General] Traviizter:
If Sony do not update officially, the CyanogenMod team have us covered.

They've already ported to the Xperia S and have placeholder threads for the 2011 devices.
[Xperia Arc General] caqo71:
Sony will do the same that did with xperia x10. They will work for xperia 2012 line, while 2011 will have to wait 'till 2013 to get an so update, and with complaints.:mad:
[Xperia Arc General] bindi:
I doubt very much that Sony will do anything more for ARC. Even if they do, it will be too late. We only got ICS couple of months ago just when Jelly bean was released.
[Xperia Arc General] samoht76:
I'ved seen JB on my friends Nexus an I hope, I will see it on my Arc S too. :cool:

This seems to be bad news

[Xperia Arc General] Fumas:
Honestly... Maybe we don't really need another update from Sony..

In the development area there are movements about a new Jelly Bean Rom for Arc..

It will take time, but FXP Team will do it for us :)
[Xperia Arc General] Punkid:
yes there will be JB ROMs, but there aint nothin like stock :P ....plus for the ROMs to be stable. they need stock as their base....except cyanogenmod ofc....but we wont have arconium JB Roms or JJHybrid JB ROMs
[Xperia Arc General] Va1iD:
Im sorry, but Sony said that they won't release 4.1 any time soon, since the 4.0.1B update had just been 'rolled out'.
[Xperia Arc General] shakeyfingers:
sad

sony will kill this product if no JB...for sure no Key Lime Pie.. sigh:(
[Xperia Arc General] samoht76:
I hope, the next Nexus Phone come from Sony.... *dream*
[Xperia Arc General] adolfo778:
thats impossible sony phones always have outdated software and Nexus Phones are always first for updates :rolleyes:
[Xperia Arc General] shakeyfingers:
Your right man, sony is late releasing updates unlike htc and samsung.:(
[Xperia Arc General] jessv3:
You've never owned a htc or samsung before have you? They are all bad with releasing updates, my samsung galaxy s2 has only just received the ics update and the htc desire z I'm using right now which is not even 18months old will not even be getting an offical ICS update at all.....
[Xperia Arc General] Fumas:
If we speak about updating (not of new devices mounting the newest version of android), Sony is not so bad... From an italian statistics, in Italy, (and we are not lucky with update speed) companies have upgraded their terminals (smartphones and tablet) to the next android's version in these percentages:

Nexus (75%), Sony/Sony Ericsson (65,4%), ASUS (50%), HTC (48,1%), Motorola & Samsung (33,3%), Acer (27,8%), LG (25%), Huawei-Vodafone (7,7%), Alcatel-Vodafone/Olivetti/Onda/Packard Bell/Panasonic (0%).

And the number of devices updated is the higher

Sony/Sony Ericsson (17 devices), HTC (13 devices), Samsung (12 devices), Motorola (7 devices), Acer (5 devices), LG (5 devices), Nexus (3 devices), ASUS (2 devices), Huawei (1 device).

Moreover from this statistics:

total numbers of updates: 0 update = 63.9%; 1 update =29,4%; 2 updates=6,7%

average price of a smartphone that has received 2 updates= 489€

So, only the 6,7% has had 2 updates... I don't say we don't have to blame Sony about not updating our devices, but i say that the consumers are everybody in the same boat (don't know if you understand the expression :) ).

If we want a certain update, we have to spend more then 500€, or buy a Nexus.. Otherwise, cooked rom is the way.. This is what i think!
[Xperia Arc General] Punkid:
while it was nice of sony to release ICS for 2011 devices, they should do JB too ...the Galaxy S2 (announced around the same time as Arc) is getting JB :(
[Xperia Arc General] foggyflute:
So 2013 Sony line up should be like this: Xperia Z, Xperia Z Bla, Xperia Z Verizon Supreme Bleh, Xperia Z Phablet, and on and on... with similar internal hardware and just some cosmetic difference. Just need to make "one rom to rule them all" - right? Sony did good enough, sure another update will be more than welcome, but I think they should focus all their resource on release good 4.1 for GX and SX if they want more money from me.
[Xperia Arc General] pmdisawesome:
Sony have announced that there won't be a JB update for Arc S, and since the Arc S owns the best hardware in Sony Xperia 2011, I think NO Xperia 2011 will get the update
[Xperia Arc General] Lorenzoz:
We read the same news!! ;)

Agree with you, only nexus series and custom roms are real android experience for long time..
[Xperia Arc General] mamameerguevo:
Jelly bean is already released in port for XPERIA Arc. Some dudes here in XDA already ported it. Its pretty smooth!!
[Xperia Arc General] caqo71:
So easy to say, but to get JB on our Arcs, sony would make an update regarding Xperia 2011 phones, so, every port that we will use on ours xperias 2011, would be a "port" from JB, and most likedli an ICS"Disfrazado" of JB.

CM10 (based on JB), would be the most certain rom about JB, but you need to think that Cyanogen will be nothing if it can't get the drivers or the software about Xperia ARC/S, so..... the last hope is that FXP would make JB working on Xperia 2011 phones.

Just wait observing without asking for an ETA. If sony dont release drivers (hardware) for JB about Arc phones, then it will never be a JB in our phones...

:fingers-crossed:
[Xperia Arc General] Saiger:
please tell me the name and the link of this jb rom :)
[Xperia Arc General] Saiger:
we can also hope that sony brings out jb for the xperia s -> developer like zohaib0001 can port this
[Xperia Arc General] Bhambya:
That is a fake JB rom. Its just ICS with JB looking apps
[Xperia Arc General] Marcell96:
John Cooper, UK Product Manager for Sony Mobile, has been taking questions from customers on Facebook and, perhaps inadvertently, revealed that both the Sony Ericsson Xperia arc S and Xperia mini pro will not receive the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean update

-See more-

Next phone is gonna be a nexus i guesse :(
[Xperia Arc General] BigBang79:
Maybe we have still a chance of a unoficial CM10 JB Rom for ARC/ARC S user.

When I read this: " http://www.xda-developers.com/android/unofficial-cm10-builds-for-the-one-s-x10-mini-and-x8/ "
[Xperia Arc General] dinesh690:
Guys, i released a compiled alpha version of Jellybean for our phones, you can check it out in the development thread. IT IS SO SMOOTH, blows gingerbread out of the water. No lag, super snappy. You guys have to try it out! Here's the link: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1805410

ZTE launches the N880E smartphone with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean (http://wwwen.zte.com.cn/en/press_center/news/201207/t20120723_327879.html). Look at the specifications of this smartphone: Qualcomm 7627A 1 GHz (single core) and only 512 MB RAM!!! There is no reason, why we can´t get Jelly Bean for our Xperia ARC/ARC S phones...
[Xperia Arc General] rymdkatt:
well it seems we will get 4.1 on arc someday, they have begun experimenting with it

Good News!

[Xperia Arc General] Patambiz:
Yes there is 4.1 Jelly Bean update for ARC S
[Xperia Arc General] foggyflute:
Most of fragmented and frustration when come to update should not be blamed only on makers but also Google, makers are left as dumb-pipe making small profit only from selling device. Each phone got update lower their chance to sell new device a bit (because with rapid release, they dont have much difference between each generation) - if the cost of hurting customer by not update older devices is small enough, no update. And if user still stay on cupcake, they still using google services on it, google not lose much after all.

All of this can be fixed by slower and more solid direction in android update, makers will have more time to planning and making more profit on each phones generation (like one line up a year that get 2 year upgrade and newer devices get the big revolution in both hardware and design). But the problem is android no where near the stable and safe state so they can do it the windows way, it not matured enough and no one will know what direction android will go next year. Put yourself in Sony position, you will see they're not so bad as everyone think they are (but still bad), much better than Samsung and HTC.
[Xperia Arc General] hellomoto7628:
sony

i think sony commented on there 2011 xperia line saying they wont be updating it any further than the 4.0.4 update that they pushed a couple of weeks ago
[Xperia Arc General] foggyflute:
and they have another announcement that they take that words back a few days ago.
[Xperia Arc General] henkpeters:
Not sure if i'm in the right section here (probably should be in android development cm10 but i can't post there yet..), but since we have 4.1 on our xperia devices now (be it not via sony), has anyone else noticed the font/text in the notification drawer to be too big?
[Xperia Arc General] dinesh690:
Think you can change text size in settings mate

Sent from my Xperia Arc S
[Xperia Arc General] henkpeters:
just found out it's supposed to be like this (according to a review on techradar), it's because the notifications can be expanded to instantly reply/call back and such. Even with all text sizes set to small the text in the notification area feels huge though :(

Its on Srbian use google translate if you dont know Srbian.

Translate: "Sony" comfrms Xperia series 2011 wont get 4.1.1 update ,its all about test with sony works now :)
[Xperia Arc General] wth_is_life:
Your translation makes zero sense

btw, seems legit xD
[Xperia Arc General] n1kolaa:
O.o you just edit build prop lol
[Xperia Arc General] Xajel:
I opened it and translated it and it says

("Soni" is confirmed and then denied that the models from "Eksperija" (Xperia) series from the 2011th will not get this promotion, but it depends on the tests that it lasts.)

so nothing new here, we already know than one employee said 2011 Xperia's won't get it, then Sony officially on it's blog said this is not true as they're still investigating the upgradability of each device...
[Xperia Arc General] henkpeters:
After trying cm10 on my pro I don't think it's worth it. Aside from the bugs, system runs a bit faster in general but the slowdowns when opening chrome for example are massive. I'd rather have a system that's overall a bit slower but doesn't switch from fast to slow over and over again, so I went back to MIUI.
[Xperia Arc General] Tabish Quadri:
google now

i just want to know that in jellybean alpha (cm10) google now is working properly or not? i mean to say voice search in google play is working or not?

i used Google Now in CM9 but in that voice search was not working.
[Xperia Arc General] Pandemic:
Read better, they testing so maybe we get 4.1.1 JB ;)

all your peeps thinking only negative :(

come on be positive ;)

[Xperia Arc General] Xajel:
I said nothing man, I said they're still investigating, so nothing new , he said that there won't be any upgrades, but I said they're still investigating... the first means no upgrade, the second means there's a chance...
[Xperia Arc General] wth_is_life:
It's quite obvious since it said ArcKnight, :))

Well I guess we'll have a 0.1% change of official JB
[Xperia Arc General] shoeseat:
If jelly bean doesn't come to xperia arc then can developers port the whole xperia s JB(when it's released) rom to xperia arc and other 2011 devices?

i don't think sony will such mercy to make JB for arc s

at most they will update the android version but not include kernel version

I'm using cm9 with FXP kernal (same version which shown in the cm10 thumbnail) and baseband72, but m not able to install cm10, gets hang in boot animation. need help...what should i do, i want to use jellybean badly.
[Xperia Arc General] pmdisawesome:
Flash FXP 132 kernel for CM10
[Xperia Arc General] Moronicus:
Well, you probably don't, until it's no more an alpha release.

Just installed FXP132 CM10 on Arc S. Titanium's restore hangs and Play Store only allows me to install a few apps and whines 'Couldn't install on usb storage or sd card' on all the others.

I fell back to FXP132 CM9 which works (almost) perfectly.
[Xperia Arc General] Pandemic:
I dont really understand Sony, all these old devices like Epic 4g etc gets JB and we dont, Why ?? Come on Sony give us JB !!

[Xperia Arc General] MarioJerkovic:
i think taht sony will bring jelly bean to arc s :) there is a good chance
[Xperia Arc General] Punkid:
IMO, sony SHOULD bring JB to Arc...ive been using a CM10 build for the past two days, and its sooo impressive...easily, if not FASTER than GINGERBREAD. i mean this thing just fliesssss..ICS was so slow to load up stuff and choppy as hell...not at all the case with JB.

Don't sweat it dude. GSM arena is notorious for putting out bum info. Once, I lloked up the galaxy s 2, and they were convinced that it was running a single core processor. :D
[Xperia Arc General] marcin2010:
im curious where gsm arena gets this info.
[Xperia Arc General] DdcCabuslay:
This is an odd question but I need to ask

So I'm on .587. Decided to see if the claims about it being better than .431 were real. Turns out for the most part, they are.

This is odd but if you do the Android Nyan Cat Ice Cream Sandwich (whatever it's called) thing in the about phone settings menu (continously tapping the android version section), instead of flying Nyandroids or whatever, i get flying jellybeans. Is this a sign of Jelly Bean for 2011 Xperias soon, or is this from a file I flashed in, or am I tripping out?

Someone try it and confirm for me please.
[Xperia Arc General] mando508:
It's real and yeah, i thought about the same thing.
[Xperia Arc General] szymon247:
GSMArena is the most accurate source for phone specs. Sometimes they put info because a lot of comments say so, but they usually double check. Also, they're in touch with most manufacturers.

That said, at this point it's almost certain that our Arcs won't be upgraded to 4.1.
[Xperia Arc General] Overdose1986:
GSMARENA said that my old w810 only supports 4Gb and mine runs fine with 16Gb, also said many other wrong things
[Xperia Arc General] zainthesnipe:
it is possible

we could get jellybean our selves if we could possibly port it from xperia s considering its being added to the AOSP tree (google's tree)
[Xperia Arc General] khayamxs:
I Highly doubt it.....

Considering the fact that ICS updates were delayed for so long, and Sony wanting to promote their new 2012 devices the chances of us getting official jellybean are 3/10.
[Xperia Arc General] omtay2311995:
i am sorry to unconfirm this

i am using the ROM some guy made from official .587 and posted it on doomed Arconium 4.0 thread:D

and when i quick tapped the android 4.0.4 it showed the same old one in the 4.0.4 .431 with the android robots flying if u long press it:confused:

but i have noticed something today but couldn't confirm

when i connected my xperia to the pc today and disconnected it without rebooting it didn't show "android os" in battery consumption even after a while of it disconnected

could it be that sony was able to resolve the ****ing android issue with the .587 update???

can any one confirm this

[Xperia Arc General] caqo71:
Sony will do the same that ever do:

When they sell too many 2012 xperias, then they will release de JB upgrade for 2011 xperias. Just like they did with X10.:mad:
[Xperia Arc General] techno-np:
This is because if they announce now. Very few people will buy the new models.and buy the sexy arc.
[Xperia Arc General] errIO:
A 1Ghz Single core + 512 RAM Xperia will have Jelly Bean... and i'm not talking about Xperia Arc / 2011.

Sony said they are investigating wich Xperia will be upgraded to JB. What are they thinking ?

Xperia J is almost like a Arc, and will be upgraded to JB.
[Xperia Arc General] pmdisawesome:
Look at the Nexus S with 1GHz single-core and only 360Mb of RAM yet it is running Jelly Bean smooth as silk

There's no reason the Arc can't run Jelly Bean
[Xperia Arc General] federico rotundi:
chill out bros

Sony is making a trade trick to sell their new featured devices. It's normal, after a while (like a few months) jelly bean will be updated for 2011 devices. Don't panic

[HTC One X] _delice_doluca_:
Hi,

My one x is locked by imei.. when you buy a phone abroad you have to register it in order to be able to use it here in Turkey.. this is because the taxes are very high in here and the shops can not compete with the abroad prices..

But the problem is they are changing the law every year and it is getting harder and harder to complete the whole burocracy to register your phone.. we used to register them with our passports and each passport had only one right to register a phone for 2 years but now we also have to pay aprrx. 70 dollars first then we can register it for additional 5-10 dollars..

The operators are not registering products because the law keeps changing at the moment (70 dollars for every phone regardless of its real price is not fair) but i have sold my one x and the buyer wants it to be unlocked, here i have an alternate option; taking a registered imei and flash it to the one x..

My question is, is it possible technically?

Thank for reading :)
[HTC One X] bogfather:
I thought changing your imei was illegal in most countries
[HTC One X] Deleted member 2496007:
Yes dangerous ground there my friend.

XDA can't allow illegal procedures to be discussed here. Best try somewhere else.
[HTC One X] Security555:
This is definetly possible for samsung, look in the galaxy S2 tread. Possibly you can port it for one x.

The same in Ukraine, you have to pay for nothing f..ing lobby and

corrupt government this is realy illegal and not simple people which just want use the phone!
[HTC One X] srashedian:
It is possible, and probably not illegal in turkey (as it is not illegal in Iran, actually there is no law about it here, however here MTN irancell which is actually a localized version of turkcell, register the phones free of charge) but as xda forum is American and it's illegal there, here no one will help you...

At first I was interested in the Windows RT Surface because it offers the Office suite. Then I started thinking, what does Windows RT offer that WP8 doesn't? They share the same kernel. But RT is limited to Metroized apps and you cannot use it as a phone. Why have two limited platforms? Merge them into one. I want a "one in all" pocketable device with Powerpoint, Word and Excel, that does the Nokia Drive, and, in a future iteration has a Windows Pureview camera.
