Didn't sony rewrote the whole code for XS JB? Correct me if I am wrong.

But if they did and went through all of this to create better experience and easier updates I have a lot of hope that sony will provide further updates.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lance_05:
XSL will get JB

a friend of mine just had a chat with an agent yesterday and it was confirmed that XSL will have jb 4.1 after xp, go and j FROM the end of march.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
U has less RAM and a very resourceful GPU, and JB wouldn't be good on it.

We won't get 4.2, as Qualcomm didn't released sources for S3 processor (ours). Kernel affects, yes, Android version, but it also depends on our SoC maker, Qualcomm, on giving us and Sony sources)

Yes, they did. But we don't know since which device that is affected. And, once again, depends on SoC sources.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] boyheadkick:
this is true specially for emerging markets like us here in the philippines..a lot of the devices here are still running GB and their owner never even bother to update to ICS, they just buy a new device running ICS coz it hits 2 birds with 1 stone to say, coz buying a new device will already have ICS out of the box with better specs..and regarding Sony's sales, our rants here wont be a thorn to their sides..see, when the Z first went available in the gray market here, it sold out in a couple of days, hell it'd be safe to say it sold out in one day..and that's even when Z wasnt even officially announced yet here in the philippines..

this is true..simple maintenance are always overlooked
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Futurust:
Is this a JB Discussion / Speculation thread here? Or how sony-sucks-at-giving updates-at-their-phones thread? Lol. Anyway, going back to the real topic. Is it true that the new 3.4 kernel will be giving us more free ram? I read somewhere (I don't remember where) that those sony phones that recently got updated to JB got their free memory upgraded from 600mb to 800mb. I wonder if the same could happen to us?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] boyheadkick:
that would be a plus :D

on the other hand, and correct me if im wrong, isnt the rest of the ram used by the gpu and core android apps?does that mean that the gpu will be using less ram and if so, how does that translate to the graphic performance :confused:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
The 200-400 Mb not shown are for GPU and other parts. System core are inside the 600-800 Mb... I guess it won't give us a back performance on graphics. I guess it was optimized for better performance with lower RAM usage.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pharix:
Yahh. We all know SONY is not stupid. They may release new phone later this year with more improvements. If it is I am 100% sure they gonna drop update for Z. At least thats what are they doing before.

No. They not update Arc S is NOT because the phone do not have power to jun JB. But it is business. Actually Ars is a one of the best phone of SONY. So they need their new phones on the market.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
When Sony released the Xperia V and T, did they drop support for Xperia S? I just destroyed your ridiculous motion, "if it is I am 100% sure they gonna drop update for Z."

Lol never seen someone so incorrigibly naive.

Btw. This thread about Sony's stupidity because Sony isn't and Sony policies works. They managed to sell more phones than HTC.

Btw I read online from a reliable source that Xperia S's JB should start to roll next week. No guarantees though. And just for a thought, Xperia S leaked ROM is almost complete, whereas Xperia P leak ROM is still relatively unstable. Hope the Xperia S gets it first.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pharix:
No mate. You get me wrong. They did it before. So they may. And I am sure if they release phone that are more powerful than Z they will do it. T,V S are just same.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] kartheek_gv:
Yes Xperia s will get jellybean before Xperia p because Xperia s jellybean Rom leaked in January and Xperia p Rom leaked just before 2 weeks and when I contacted Sony they also told that Xperia s/sl/ion are next in line to receive jellybean update and also told they have no information about xperia p
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] chaud:
Well ur fact's wrong anyway. Xperia J Jellybean update have already been roll up a few weeks ago.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
Lol. I think you are the dumb one. Xperia J received the update. Sony stated clearly that it will roll FROM end of March

nd not AT the end of March. A big difference.

When? Xperia Sola, U, Miro, Tipo and 2011 phones are too weak to handle JB. As of now, Sony never abandoned capable phones. Start spreading head for Sony. Sony didn't do anything wrong. If you love updates so much, I suggest you buy a Nexus and disappear.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pharix:
They gave update to those phone is because they promised it when they drop update for 2011 line. And if you hate update that much why don't you buy a older phone and you disappear. Everyone is talking about there point of view. Then why did you put nexus in between?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
Lol I don't hate Xperia.

Just shut up and stop posting and telling everyone your theory on why 2012 phones and Xperia Z won't get 4.2 or 5.0 respectively. I can tell you this, Sony don't work based on your theory. Xperia Z will get Android 5.0. And your theory is total bull****. This is a thread about JB and not theorems on how Sony will abandon Xperia S and Z.

Yo, could someone tell me if porting Stamina mode to our device is possible or not (of course after we get the 4.1 update). Or we need more RAM in order to use that function? Because i saw that Xperia P leaked rom has Stamina mode, so that makes me feel that Xperia S is truly capable of running Stamina mode too!

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
3.4 kernel, Xperia Z UI, Xperia Z apps (excluding Socialife), Xperia Z camera (excluding HDR, HDR recording and burst mode), lesser RAM usage, Project Butter for lag free experience and of course a long wait (that's worth it) for the implementation of those awesome features.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Mumbira:
Many people don't really wait for 4.1.2,... we just want a big Bugfix...

And for people who are still here with locked bootloader, Smallapps and so on.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mhyke13ph:
I came from Xperia Arc 2.3.4 to 4.0.4, and all i can that It was above average Performance and a lots of bugs was left unfixed

now

I have never tried 2.3.7 of Xperia S because SL was already at 4.0.4, so i read a lot of complains about bugs, and I too experiences this bugs and it really bothers me a lot, specially in the camera department.

some people here are alreayd satisfied with ICS as long as those Bugs and Performance issues are Fixed, and if JB is on the way, I just hope Sony really baked this Software pretty good and spot on, rather than releasing it half baked with lot of bugs and performances issues.

Right now I rate it Average ICS Performance, my Arc performs much better it takes better pictures, focus faster, does not underclocks when overheating, no yellow tinting anywhere, body does not scratch easily
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Sirence:
Why no socialife?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
No one knows. Seems like only 2013 line is getting it. not even T got it. The only way we can get it to work is changing build.prop, but you break compatiblity with a lot of other stuff...

We need a proper port.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] FenrirMX:
Ok, this I don't understand. You made your point. You hate Sony and their big meanie heads for not releasing JB yet.

WE GET IT.

You don't need to make 300 posts saying the same thing.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hasona:
Sure and I kinda said that but I still can't see how they justify their decisions. The reason no one on Android cares about updates is that they suck at giving us updates.

I keep hearing about "normal customers dont care about updates" and all that **** but the matter of fact is that this almost only applies on android, for example my sister who knows **** about Tech Always updates her iPhone not because it is any good but because she gets clear notifications on her phone which probably go around with a lot of BS but Apple knows how to market their updates. I do not see anything of that on android phones, Sony releases a new update and there are 2 categories of people here, the techies who download the update or the ones who buy the phone new in store and gets the update preinstalled the third category is so small that you don't even have to Think about them(normal peole who download the update because their friend said it got released)

Better comparison is Microsoft who pushes out their updates one tuesday each month even my sister knows this now. Why not use that model and send out updates in small packs who would update in the background and then have a Service pack styled update after some time. It would make sense for the Company and the customers.

You could already predict that Sony will just say "we are sorry to say this but Xperia S, Xperia T, Xperia P and on and on will not get a 4.2 update" then they will tell you to go buy the newest and greatest Xperia Z(which I love btw) and get the 4.2 update.

It's an awful tactic which sadly from my Point of view only happens in the Android World and to some degree iOS but I will wait and see what sony says about 4.2 but I'm not holding my breath.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] -Harsh-:
I think this thread should be named

" Who hates Sony the most.. "

No need to discuss what Sony plans for Xperia Z and speculating 5.0.. This thread is for any news regarding our JB update, not for nexus, arc S, P, U, J, Z..

Sent from The Beauty - Xperia S
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hasona:
Its not that people hate them I just hate their update tactics! A conmpany can promise you an update and then reschedule it but in the Android World case it has happend a million times that it is now ridicoulus. We had the X10 where Sony delayed and delayed the eclair and GB updates then we had the Arc which was denied support before their 18months promise, now we have to dilemmas the NXT and 2012 models who are getting the JB delayed and then we have the XZ which was released with 4.1.2 in 2013!

So I Think it's more about how much we hate Sony's update strategy after all these years - I am not saying others are not doing the same but we are talking about Sony in this thread - we still don't see any improvement in their Update strategy
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PLovrin:
They are improving their updates and they need our SUPPORT not bashing. Or am I wrong?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] dhilluk:
Allow me to add a new perspective! You by a car on finance, it is costing you several thousands of whichever currency over 3 years! Suddenly 3 months after you bought the car the manufacturer updates several features and releases a "refreshed" model. You are upset and feel cheated a little, but there is nothing you can do about it, you can't add the parts that changed! (all worse than cost of a phone and a contract!!!)

Now back on topic, JB will come, we can use different mods, etc to make our phones look and feel as we want them to and they don't cost thousands!

Any one who has bought a car will get my point!

JB is coming that is all that matters!

That is all!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] donjamal:
Well, not exactly... It's like buying a pc on xp when win7 is already available for more than a half year in my opinion. I understand if the hardware is not capable to receive the update, but that's not the case here

If JB is going to roll out first for Xperia J, P and Go, and actually only J got it, How can we expect JB for XS until April 14th?

I just think we can't and end of April is the more realistic roll out date for XS.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Scratchling:
Would be a lovely surprise if it did arrive on time.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LucidSomnia:
Ah, i can't say if it will arrive on time, but i can say this for sure. I will enjoy it, happy to get it anyway.

For those who say "flash a custom", may i say that something goes wrong for every rom. Either camera, hdmi, fm radio etc. I bought this phone to have 1080p pics and videos, a working hdmi and a working fm radio. (There are other stuff that bother me on customs but i'll stay on these 3). These things work properly only on stock, but on the other hand ics is laggy and buggy on this phone no matter what, even while rebooting the phone 2-3 times a day (while it gets frustrating).

Sony could do a better job updating this phone, since it was a flagship, but as i said before, i am happy to get the update.

I expect a lot of things though, project butter is the most important, as well as a better camera experience and perhaps stamina mode. That would be nice. So sony, surprise me!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ARNOB:
Guys enough of this crap. We, the Xperia S, Ion, SL and Acro S Community, are sure that we are getting the 4.1 JB update for our phones. Please stop crying abou what's going on with other phones - Xperia P, J, Go, Nexus, Galaxy, iPhone, Nokia 3310 etc. Nobody asked you to buy an Xperia S or ion. If you bought it and do not like it, WE DON'T CARE. If you cry that you paid $$$ for numeric features, we cannot give your money back nor make you like your device.

Enough said!

Let's stay on topic. According to rumors, JB would be online within the second week of April. Let's keep an eye on the PC Companion and not post anything useless here. ;)

Hi,

In another thread (or was it in this thread?), I saw some screenshots of their conversation with Sony customer representatives and within that thread, they claimed that the jelly bean update has already been rolled out in their respective regions.

Also, has there been any news if XS owners will have the small apps once the JB update has been released?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] electrash:
No xs wont have small apps and no social life (also no bravia engine 2)

You changed my mind, now I totally agree with you, because what DoomLord has uploaded as a leaked firmware can't be a 100% guarantee that the build number will be something as 6.2.B..., until the release the devs from Sony can do whatever they want and can change the build number also. But i think that the first digit '6' will be present in all XS roms.
