It's interesting how many guys like to talk about subject they don't know a shi*...

This isn't the first time that someone tried to make manufacturer to release drivers or support device for a longer period.

There was examples of success in the past and I agree with that - what can we lose?

Why not to try...

Of course, manufacturers can't grab more money on old device, they want you to buy new device - that's why they will support device for only two or three years - it's more then obvious that XS still have "the power".

Let's sign this...

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] LucidSomnia:
Actually this has nothing to do with Sony, but with Qualcomm. I've seen this kind of petition before working. Take the example of Samsung Galaxy Y, Broadcom came to release the drivers for their SoC. So please, make a bit of research before writing something useless as that.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanitos:
Stuff like signing a petition multiple times is what makes petitions useless. The point is to see how many people actually support an issue at hand not how many fake signatures you can get to make you look like you have support. All Qualcomm has to do is research where the petition came from and see all you guys saying singed x times!! And say this petition is false and holds no relation to our base of consumers and we have no need to follow this petition. Sign it once pass it along don't falsify this and make it useless, again someone still needs to present this to Qualcomm in a professional manner to the right people for it to even matter. The op should be that person but the letter itself wasn't perfect in grammar and such, granted my grammar and spelling is horrendous so I'm not being rude just honest, and the more clean cut it is the more serious they will take it.

You may also want to provide proof that our devices can handle the higher firmware, firstly find a 100% stock ROM that's been ported, run multiple benchmark tests and present an average, test signal strength and reliability, the camera, every little thing. What is the temperature is it an acceptable range at max load? What is the battery life running the new firmware? What is the "android stutter" looking like? Does the device perform as well as it should basically. Then rewrite a letter to them showing these facts with graphs and letters from users that tested and reported results. In your letter words like tons or acronyms like JB should NOT be included. If you want to say JB 4.2.2 you say Jelly Bean version 4.2.2 you want to say tons you say a lot or multiple. You need this to look serious and professional. Just because 800 people signed this means NOTHING to them without real solid undisputable facts attached tested multiple times by multiple people. Just because you THINK it should work means nothing. What really matters is proof now so start gathering proof, find a dev to port a 100% and I mean 100% stock 4.2.2 or whatever you want to have support for if its not stock it isn't real results. My att Sony ion is free for any testing and I'll be more then happy to help if this mass of opinions becomes a fact filled petition presented in a professional manner. I love science and the scientific method because it applies to more then science. It applies now and it applies to how Qualcomm will look at this and accept or reject it.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] FenrirMX:
Agreed 100%. As a rule of thumb for those people that so gleefully divulge how many times they signed, if you're gonna cheat, lie or steal, don't go around telling people about it, ups the chance you won't get caught. Just sayin'.

OpenSEMC by [MENTION=3463426]RaymanFX[/MENTION] is working pretty damn well for what is for the most part a solo effort, now imagine if Qualcomm actually released drivers for the higher JB/KK versions.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
[MENTION=4619883]thanitos[/MENTION]: I agree with u on not falsify petitions, but u can't just provide proof with complete Sony stock ROM port.. Its impossible for any dev without the source.. Yes we get AOSP source.. But SONY wont give u the actual source needed unless they release an update.. Also the companies have specific working environment, do remember those are way too advanced systems rather than just a PC with a bunch of S/Ws.. I am not saying our developers arent talented.. They are extremely talented, but u can't buy the working environment right? And as far as i think, our devs have achieved booting the 4.2 and 4.3 which is still a WIP but good enough to be a daily driver.. Thats a good enough proof that any company would need.. If only Qualcomm had given support, Sony wouldn't have abandoned SXS.. Its still a capable device.. Not completely outdated technology.. I think it can still hang on for a couple more Android generations easily.. Since Kitkat is coming optimized for even basic android phones in future, our phone will be able to run Kitkat as well.. Only thing i suspect is we may not get all the features to work, but atleast major features which we need for daily use will be covered..

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] panchuckles:
" Update: Sony has confirmed that it has nothing to do with the image and that the it isn't the real deal. Move along guys, nothing to see here"
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
Where has Sony claimed that??? Do give link when u give updates or news..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ngonchan:
He quoted from the content of that link.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
Nah.. That link can't be entirely true nor false.. But a site like gsmarena won't post fake images or something fake related to updates.. Not at all an issue to put fake pics.. Although 4.4 requires OpenGL 3.0 and may be more graphics related things which will eventually come.. And it requires H/W support and even if we have the H/W for it, Qualcomm aint supporting us no more and hence no drivers and no 4.4.. If u wanna taste 4.4 or higher, all u gotta do is 1 thing.. Buy a new handset.. Probably a flagship will do.. ;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Olivier:
Guys, we will certainly not get 4.4 officially, because, as said many times above, Qualcomm doesn't provide the drivers necessary for Sony to get us an Android 4.4 update. Also, even if Qualcomm ever released the drivers, Sony wouldn't update though due to marketing reasons...

Enjoy 4.1.2 (which is running well) or unlock your bootloader and install an AOSP-based ROM (impossible in my case :(). :p
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] neoxx3m:
I completely agree with u.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] mrsatan:
You wouldn't know whether sony would release 4.4 for Xperia S or not. Either way it's a moot point unless Qualcomm's dumb ass releases the drivers. No point in blaming the manufacturers when Qualcomm has been doing this for years. It is disappointing because I love Sony stock roms. Oh well, might upgrade soon anyways, though I love my S.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Felimenta97:
They wouldn't, for a reason he stated: Marketing.

If they were to keep updating their old phones that are sold for a very low price, people wouldn't buy the new phones, that costs more, and have better tech, and they would have money loss.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] :
Just to say: not a single reply from Qualcomm.

And believe me - I've sent a fine e-mail to at least 10 available contact addresses.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Android_UK:
It's a shame really because there are phones out that have pretty much same or lower spec to the Xperia S with JB 4.1 yet they run so much smoother than Sony JB version.

I believe fair enough if Qualcomm have stopped support for the processors it still does not mean Sony should optimize and refine this just device.

That's my view.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] tOrNadO™:
It doesn't happen like that... This aint dream world.. This is real world.. Fair enough excuse for SONY to abandon us.. I mean they are doing business, not donation.. :p They would rather think about more profits by pushing users to buy new phones and get rid of old phones rather than supporting 2012 device while 2014 is nearing.. These are business tactics.. So u gotta face em.. :silly:
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] thanitos:
Or switch to an unlocked device like I did, oddly enough I sold my Sony ion att version that's a tad worn and a little scratched on eBay for 100$ almost instantly. I'd sell while its feasible, sites like gazelle.com don't even know about the ion. I bought a brand new galaxy s3 for 300$ on eBay. Loved my s2 so the s3 or 4 is a no brainer. Future carrier devices from what I'm told will all be locked, so go with carrier free versions from now on :)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Olivier:
That's why I hate Sony. They lock carrier phones down. Why? They claim that all the other OEMs do the same. Well, they don't - Neither Samsung nor HTC for example. I do understand that carriers don't want their customers to use other SIM cards or whatever with their phones, but I don't understand why I must not install a ROM of my choice? Also I'm forced to stick to 4.1.2 forever... :mad:

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] ejstubbs:
My understanding is that it's the carriers that request this. At least you can unlock the bootloader on Sony's SIM-free phones, unlike some manufacturers I could mention.

U know i think there is a way to unlock carriers.. Some friend of mine used Cydia to jailbreak or unlock his AT & T HTC One from USA.. He did it in India.. That worked.. I don't know how.. Isn't that sort possible in Sony??? And i think u might wanna take a look at this..

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DotlnV1uBAc
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Olivier:
Thanks for the recommendation. You are talking about the SIM/netlock. It can be removed easily on most HTC phones... Even without Cydia whatsoever. But that's not what I want, I want to unlock the bootloader. The thing is, that I've read that some people managed to unlock their bootloaders using your methods, but some say that the bootloader is not affected at all. As unlocking is pricey and many sites don't seem serious enough to me, I haven't done anything yet.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] drxllxffxct:
Hey guys, i know that's weird, but my X10 Mini thinks it's an X8.

I tried porting a X10 PacMan ROM from X10 Mini Pro to X10, but i got bootloop. And I hadnt a backup. Then I tried to flash the stock 2.1.1.A.0.6 firmware with flashtool, but when it was done flashing, the phone was trying itself to open, but with failure, because as you can see at the image, it says that i connected E15, which is X8.

Also after that, i tried to use PC Companion from SONY, but a message appeared telling me that there's no firmware for my device. And then i was like, "WTF are you telling me?"

Anyway, i flashed then nAa 14 kernel, and i thought that i finally managed to fix the phone. But no. when i tried to flash a ROM, i got this error.

So, i thought that changing the script from E10 to E15, would made my phone work. Because as you can see, it worked. 50% -.-"

The flash was done but the phone tries to turn on, and then it just turns off, and then turns on, and then turns off.

Any ideas to the problem???
