Actually...

6.1.G.0.0	ECO	Mar 18, 2013

6.1.A.2.55	ECO	Mar 18, 2013

6.1.A.2.50	ECO	Mar 18, 2013

All of them certified today.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hunter3000:
Its probably not JB, JB seems to be like 6.2.xxx FW
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Marsou77:
Maybe Beta build ?

Re: [XS] 6.1.G.0.0 certified today!

Not sure, since the last 6.1 firmwares were ICS?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] butcher71:
My guess is the 6.1.A.xx are patches to ICS, and the 6.1.G.xx is the JB stuff.

That "0.0" is strange, isn't it? Just guessing...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Yakandu:
A Lot!

It should be 6.2.B.X.X
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] guilhermedsx:
Even the alpha is 6.2, it's nonsense to "rewind" version numbering. My guess: pre-JB "getting ready" ICS builds.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] reaper61616:
Hi!

I think it's ICS kernel... Probably it will be opensource and will can be downloaded via developer.sonymobile.

BTW. .55 was able to update some time ago so this way we can update to JB 'without' PTCRB certification -> it will be certified but no any word about this.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] UchihaDareNial:
Re: [XS] 6.1.G.0.0 certified today!

No use for speculating it as ICS firmware....definitely JB!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] reaper61616:
Why you think this is JB?

6.0... is GB

6.1... is ICS

6.2... probably JB

PTCRB can certificate rom day before or after release (like .55) so don't be so sure... ;)

Else you can see that leaked FW from DoomLord is 6.2.b.0.68
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Rajeev:
Re: [XS] 6.1.G.0.0 certified today!

I think its not jelly bean. Jelly bean will start 6.2 may be...

Any way waiting for JB.. But without any bugs...

If official JB is with bugs means also no problem. Using PAC rom v.19.3.3 JB 4.1.2 . Fast and smooth as hell...

Also we have 4.2 rom in development.. After sony released the kernel source code we will get that rom more super

Re: [XS] 6.1.G.0.0 certified today!

It would be amazing so thats why Sony named it 0.0

Imagine it like a smiley, when they release, everyone will be like 0.0

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] reaper61616:
Maybe Sony will provide to us AOSP with this build? Maybe they build AOSP and want to make it public?

Build number is so strange...

It would be great idea and milestone to every Sony user and others vendors!! :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
Actually not strange. Xperia U had this weird release before, 6.1.1.C.1.0, turns out, it is a carrier customised version.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] donjamal:
Sony signed the agreement to update their phones to every major version of Android that comes out in 1.5yrs since the device's release date (unless it's incapable to support it) - as far as I know.

Oh, and since I moved to a new country, I had to get a new phone, which is not sony - they did the same with x10, they now do it with xs. That was enough for me. No more sony... Nexus the way for Android.

Well, we're gonna get this update eventually guys,what difference does it make this week or the end of this month?

I bought my SL around Jan with ICS as default and can't complain much about it. everything works just fine.

so while I'd welcome better faster UI and/or other new features it's not like our lives depends on it.

Peace!

R: [XS] JB 4.x Discussion / Speculation

But "the end of march"....?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] r0bot:
Are all the features pretty much working on the 4.2.2 ROMs?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Aniket:
Yep almost everything works fine.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PLovrin:
Because of people that will buy nexus 4 or any other device just because they can't wait to get update, other users will get screwed on future updates. Less and less phones operating less interest in sony to update to further versions. They need support not bashing and threatening. I know that their update system is not perfect but let's have some faith in them.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Galaxen:
Which of the 4.2.2 you recommend!? does all have everything working except FM Radio!? Could you PM me!?

I want one where most works.. XZX2 its giving me so much issues :(
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] funky0308:
Guys, we all must understand that Sony is "business".

It's not "red cross", XS was release with GB, did you really expected that we'll get 4.2 update or higher?

If Sony support "old" device for 10 years why would somebody buy new device?

We'll get JB, but first they will update never devices (one that released with ICS)

They released ICS, soon we'll get JB 4.1 and that's it, if you are soooo disappointed with Sony and XS and you'll buy Nexus, then nothing stops you to flash custom ROM (if you didn't flash it already) then you'll see that official JB isn't something special.

We have great developers here, on XDA, and they made fantastic ROM's.

Just try XZX, OpenSemc, PAC or something similar... They are almost perfect...

I'm not saying that Sony is right or that I like they way of behaving with customers, but XS is great device with great community and we already have great ROM(s) - just wait few more days.

I'm sure, when Sony release JB, many of you (including me) will flash custom ROM based on official JB and that custom JB will not provide nothing more than we have now...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] antebr:
I can not understand people who defend Sony in terms of publishing upgrades. So just little reminder (anyone can find it on the internet):

- On 6 December 2010, the Android 2.3 (Gingerbread) SDK was released

- the source code for Android 4.0 became available on 14 November 2011

- Android 4.1 Jelly Bean was released to the Android Open Source Project on 9 July 2012

- The first devices to run Android 4.2 were LG's Nexus 4 and Samsung's Nexus 10, which were released on 13 November 2012

So we have this situation:

Xperia S handset has been available in Barcelona since the 29 February 2012 after the Mobile World Congress (The Xperia S was released with Android 2.3, and received an update to Android 4.0.4 on June 21).

Xperia S users are always late for at least one version of android becouse of Sony. I think it would be okay for Sony to tell Xperia S users, buy new phones we will no longer support your phone.

I'm not sure that most Xperia S users will buy again a Sony phone.

PS

Just as an example (very similar devices):

HTC One S was scheduled for official release on 2 April 2012, the first phones were sold on March 30 (on the Android 4.0). Android 4.1 Jelly Bean rolling out 19 February 2013.

An example of a company that cares about its customers!
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RHBH:
Hi, I am brazilian and also owner of a XS, I'm reading this topic for a while, please don't close it, just delete posts like " I'm going buy a f****n nexus "

I have the same bugs the guy I quoted on my XS plus lag when the phone is just playing MP3 from walkman and the sound gets messy (already restored the phone twice).

I just don't care waiting until may to get JB, since it gets my phone bug free...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] eagleeyetom:
The level of nonsense in this thread is too damn high.

You shouldn't blame Sony that they didn't release Jellybean yet, as they, frankly speaking, don't have to do that. It's all about money, simple as that. Xperia S is not a flagship now, as they have Xperia Z. So more people complaining about S == more people buying Z simple as that. It's a marketing and you don't need to have financial PHD to understand why such situation happened.

You don't have to act like kids and ranting Sony. If you don't like it, buy a Nexus and you'll get update straight from Google and most likely a week or two after the initial release. I have an X8, which is a really old device, should I blame Sony (Ericsson) that they didn't release Froyo or Gingerbread? I guess no. Android world is going forward like crazy. Now we have 8 cores and possibility for even more kick-ass hardware. Brands are still racing, that's the main problem for, us, the ~1% of users who want to break the limit.

I can't understand one thing. Few of you were complaining about this thread not being closed. It's a bad idea, because discussing things is good, however ranting isn't. Also only one guy figured out that this thread can be reported :rolleyes: Great job guys, well played.

Please act like an adults. If you want to play a game called "I paid dollars, I want 5 updates!" you probably should not be a member here. Back to Nokia 3210 times and remember the number of software updates then.

Proceed on topic or it will be closed for good.

You also will feel bad if you buy a new phone and it is full of bugs and they are not giving fast update. My phone is so laggy. Don't feel bad. I am just giving my opinion.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PLovrin:
Totally agree. But hey, last few days there was only spam. I come here every day to get some info or to read/join some discussion about XS JB. And latelly everytime I came here I became nervous because of all the nonsense I read. This thread was heading in direction they all are - thrash. It's a shame that XS forum is becoming more and more populated with bashing and spamming. I agree that some people want to change the phone, ask here for opinions and totally respect that. But posts and threads like "sell XS because of not YET having JB and buy nexus" make me sick. Nobody supports Sony and it's a shame. They could give us fast upgrade to JB with no new stuff but instead they will give us everything newer phones got. Isn't that good? Small apps, new launcher, lockscreen, apps etc. were not created for XS but we will get them. So we should be happy and wait for some time without complaining, is it really that hard?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] eagleeyetom:
Believe me that stock 2.1 is crap. I'm using custom ROMs since the day I joined XDA. It's business and believe me or not, but all brands are the same regarding giving updates to older devices.

I totally agree. Reading the same thing over and over again is tiring. There is no perfect choice. Cheaper devices have less frequent updates (I'm not saying that XS is cheap), but porting Android is painful, especially with such advanced GUI modifications like these provided by Sony.

The problem with CM is that supports so many devices. Our official CM is much more buggy than CM based ROMs. You shouldn't treat FXPs work as a stock replacement. Nexus is good, but everyone has a different requirements from phone as we're all different.

Just be patient. They will release JB sooner or later.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] boyheadkick:
Finally, some sense..look i only suggested this thread be closed because it was going nowhere with what was being posted..i never meant for it to be an offshoot discussion..i apologize for that

And regarding the jb update,whether we complain or not its always going to be up to sony whenever theyre gonna give it..i was happy enough that sola got bumped to ics..i admit i was pissed when i learned that j was getting jb while sola wasnt,but i never griped about it coz i was happy enough with what i was able to do with the ics update i got for the sola..its just the same with my current device..i pretty much can still mod my device to my preference with what is easily available for it..

And maybe youre wondering why im here when i have an acro s, well im trying to get a feel of what im in store for when i get the jb update for acro s because i consider sxs to be a measuring point for my device along with sl and ion and everything else that came after the nxt series..

I also consider cm great and everything,but theres just something about official thats just different..even with all the bugs and lags and what not, and you cant say that cm doesnt have their fair share of bugs and lags..being an engineer, i know what the cliche 'theres never a perfect system' means..

With all respect, as i know what you think and what you say.

You should try to understand us. I am a student which have a little income per month, and buying phone which cost 500eur and then you receive zero sony support. Well that is kinda disappointing.

Many of this users and guys who complain dosent have a regular income or have a very small one.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PLovrin:
I dont understand why your income has anything to do with this. Why would you even need to buy new device right now? Because XS didn't yet get JB? Oh, come on…

Zero support? As I remember we got quite a lot of updates on GB and then ICS following with new updates .45 .50 .55 so I dont know what zero support.

And we WILL get JB soon. With all new features so I really dont understand you, sorry.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Yakandu:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] sfkaudi:
Then you shut be patient
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] eagleeyetom:
I understand your point as I have very little income too, however you can't blame Sony for the fact that they want to get money. It's capitalism.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] electrash:
Yes i know they want income and i dont blame them.

They could fix ICS and i would say, Sony nice job, you are late by updates, but at least you fix bugs.

I run .55 (Multi tasking is slow, camera perfomance is bad, walkman shut down for no reaseon, even browser get killed for no reason, and many other problems) which they could fix easy, and they didnt.

And again, here is lot of kids which will says something against my post. I really appreciate that you understand what i am thinking and saying. You're one of the few with whom i can really talk.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pharix:
I totally agree with you. I know it is business. But isn't is little late? And many of us are curious about when they release the JB update as ICS is so laggy. We have a custom ROM called XZX that are smooth but it is based on ICS. So most of us use XZX want JB update soon as we believe it will solve our problems.

Regards.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] The Third God:
Hey guys;

I don't care when JB comes, I'll wait as much as it takes times. I've only a question which I asked before; is XSL gonna get JB? Or it's only S gettin' JB?

TIA
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Aniket:
Both are going to get the update at around the same time.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
The stock ROM don't lag. I suggest you do a repair. It's very unusual that your claim stock ICS lags. Lag in what way? Opening 30 tabs in Chrome?

I personally feel that the Jelly Bean an enhancement of the already excellent job by Sony on the stock ROM. My phone literally flies. I don't have any lags or bugs. Of course if you run Chrome with 20 tabs, please expect the phone to shutter.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] hasona:
I don't get how some can just accept that Sony(SE) does this every single time(XS may well indeed be my last Sony phone because of this).

When you buy a 360/PS3 you get support for years, when you buy a PC you get support for years, when you buy a car you get support for years, when you buy an iPhone you get support for years but when you buy a Sony phone(and some android phones) your support runs out in 1.5years after that the device you bought for 500-700€ is rendered as a legacy device.

If this is the way this so called mobile and ortable era is going to play out then I sure as hell won't be Selling my PC for a long time. This doesn't just apply to android phones but tablets too because it's the same situation there too. Either you get your customers the support they deserve or get out of the business it's that simple.

A normal "not so techie guy/girl" shouldn't have to rely on XDA to provide you a newer android version.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lee480:
HTC, LG and a lot more practice this policy. HTC is 300% worst. Only exception is a Samsung. But Sony haven't really announce their 4.2 plans. So we shall just wait and see.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] technaudio:
How many xperia s have Sony sold?

How many of those customers are perfectly happy with it (I am)?

No amount of *****ing and whining or threats to buy a nexus/sgs/HTC et al from the +/-1% is going to make Sony work any faster.

Have patience. JB will come. 'in the following weeks' just like Sony said it will.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] alexferdean:
@eagleeyetom. I can't believe a company could have the luxury to do such things to a former flagship. Ppl won't buy the Z, but will quit buying from Sony. I know I won't buy again a Sony phone.

I'm not that mad at Sony about the long time to bring updates. I'm just disappointed about ICS.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pharix:
FYI: I never use Chrome in my whole life :p and I believe it's not problem my phone itself. If it is why most of the problem solved when I use XZX.

What I am looking for in jb update is the smoothness of project butter. Other things can be flashed in ics as zip anyways.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Invicta:
i dont know guys, i am hugely dissapointed from this phone, the camera is average at best and i have build quality issues as well as the performance is unispiring for 1.5ghz, heck my old nexus which was bought at release date with ics was way faster at 1.2ghz...though its screen sucked bar viewing angles.

Dont expect huge fixes, i guess we will only get projet butter, google now, some new launcher and icons as well as wallpapers etc and thats just about it...i say this based on experience with other models, its only my opinion i hope i will prove wrong
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PLovrin:
Do you guys that complain about lag and speed of XS ever restart the phone? I had HTC wildfire once and it worked pretty good for 528 cpu. And one guy I know always complained about lagging so I was curious and take a look at his uptime. It was on for more that 2 months. Its logical that it will lag after that long time. Leave pc turned on for a long time…

I have on my XS 172 apps and many constantly running and I dont see that lag as you talk about, but I regurarly restart the phone. Once it was running for a long time and it started lagging like hell, I checked ram usage, it was 0mb free. After restart everything normal.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] pharix:
Yap. Agree with you. Almost 99% people don't care about it. So why not SONY gave GB to Xperia Z? In fact they can do business with that according to you. I may be off topic. But I think you can understand what I am saying. They will loose their customers if they are doing it. Because I doubt they will NOT give Key Lime Pie (Or next update) to Xperia Z. Atleast they did it with older devices.

- They Stop X10 update after 2.3

- They stop Arc S update after 4.0

- They are going to stop update for 2012 line after 4.1 (Qualcomm stop giving source for S3 processors if I am not wrong)

- And may be they are going to stop Z update after 4.2.

Yahh. I believe this is a business. I am the one who use only SONY (Ericsson) phones in my whole life. But now I feel bad about them. But Still my next phone must be SONY phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
You can be proven wrong right away. Install Leaked ROM and check for yourself.

They won't stop Z at 4.2. They aren't stupid. It should get at least 5.0/4.3. You all think they are stupid, but Sony isn't...

They haven't updated Arc to 4.1 because the phone wouldn't run fast enough with everything that Sony has to offer in terms of improvements (new apps, etc). They were smart...

S3 processors might not have 4.2, but rumours says we will get 5.0/4.3 right away. If Sony doesn't do it for us, devs will easily port the ROMs from Z or other devices, as we have the sources.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] lordoftheriffs:
If only they would give us those sources...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PLovrin:
Amen to that! :D
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] bluechelsea:
Whatever u say, 4.1 does make a better experience compared to ics.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RHBH:
Sony should give XS, Acro S, Ion and SL android 5.0 and should update even before XZ, as a apology for leaving XS for last during 4.0/4.1 update.

This is what Sony can do that will make me buy a Sony phone in Q2-Q3 2014 when I'm going to buy a new phone.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] eagleeyetom:
Alright. I think we should be done with ranting Sony as this won't speed up the update.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Erachter:
Even if Qcomm releases 5.0/4.3 sources for S3 we will not have Sony's ROM, we can get working AOSP ROM.For Sonys 5.0/4.3 ROM we should have Sonys sources.

By your logic we can run LG / Samsung ...... ROM on Xperia S :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
Why we won't have Sony ROMs? HDMI? AFAIK, it doesn't change much from Sony fw to fw... As I said, we might not have it FULLY working, but will be really close to.

OK. Show me a example of such a ROM for a Sony device.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] alexander_sirakov:
Do you guys really think that Xperia S will be capable of running on Android 4.3 (if it exists) or 5.0 Key Lime Pie? And if so, will Sony be that kind to compile a KLP rom for XS?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] PLovrin:
As far as rumors go, KLP should use less ram and should be less demanding.

Maybe they will, who knows:)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] alexander_sirakov:
I think that Sony won't give us KLP, because they are not dumb. They want to sell phones, not upgrading the old ones and in that case many users will be happy with their current devices and won't buy new. I wish I were wrong though. :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
People, stop this useless discussion. It leads nowhere.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] RHBH:
I think JB won't arrive next week... Most likely 3rd or 4th week of April. Because Sony said that Xperia P and Go will get JB before Xperia S and I searched about JB for Xperia P and Go and I couldn't find nothing "relevant" that could indicate a imminent roll out for P and Go.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] yUlekk:
I think we will get either 4.2.2 or KLP, we have 3.4 kernel on JB while Xperia P stayed on 3.0.8. Maybe its because sony wants to move on with updates for our phones.
