I got a message on my xperia play r800i today saying
4.0.2.A.0.42
New system update available
Is this icecream sandwich?
This was my previous post I used to get help with rooting it
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=18259565#post18259565
My current Build Number says
4.0.1.A.0.283
I assume if I try to update OTA it will brick my phone?
Please help me update my phone.
No that is not ice cream sandwich its still 2.3.4 the .283 build is for the nordic countries

is it safe to update this through my phone?
Have you unlocked your bootloader? If you have I wouldn't do it just use flashtool and you'll be fine then

are there any benefits to installing this update?
seems some people are having problems after updating.
My phone is working fine at the moment and it would be a shame to update and get reduced functionality.
Is there any way to remove the update notification if I decide not to update because at the moment its stuck in notifications?

Well IMO the 2.3.3 version was the best because I could play psxperia games but can't in the new version and the xloud was actually loud, but the 2.3.4 update gives you 720p recording, swipe keyboard. I chose the latter and have battery drain now so I'd stick with 2.3.3
To remove the update notification you can freeze the update centre system app in titanium backup

No.. it wont brick your phone. Its the latest 2.3.4 update from Sony, and if you update, you will only lose root
I'm already on 2.3.4 and I want to keep root. Is there any way to remove the update notification?

May try it when I get back my Play..
Heads Up
If you use this program, Wotan server, there is no option to keep your user data untouched (apps and GAME SAVES) like there is with flashtool. I found that out the hard way yesterday. I just couldn't wait for the .ftf to show up.
Is there an OTA release for 2.3.4 firmwares yet? (specifically, the US Generic?)

Didn't even know that psx4droid ran on 2.3.3 when I tried it didn't work.
IMO I would install fpse for PlayStation emulation. And nesdroid for NES emulation. Or downgrade to 2.3.3 using flashtool and the 2.3.3 Rom

Hi, I want to update to 0.62, I am currently on stock 0.42 with rooted, xperia s theme, v6 supercharge, cwm etc. When I did a complete reinstall of the software before I had to reroot it again. If I update to 0.62 will I have to add all the modification again or will they not be affected?
taa
They'll be gone

I see, so is it worth updating? I read that it only has minor bug fixes and I'm happy with how 0.62 functions atm, might leave it till 0.69 and see what that offers
Last time i updated to the latest firmware using pc companion i had a lot of compatibility issues with hd games (gameloft, etc...) and i had to go back to 2.3.4, is it currently possible to find a 4.0.4 firmware without these issues?
If you want to use your phone for gaming, stay on 2.3.4, a lot better performance.

Use the flashtool, and read the stickies.
Hi - wifey has an Xperia Arc S (unbranded UK). Its still running gingerbread .... is this right ? Checking for updates says that its on the latest version but I keep hearing that Arc S users are on 4.0.3 and even 4.0.4.
She is on 1254-1957.
She wont let me flash any custom ROMs
Don't know way
But you can use flashtool to flash stock rom too

My wife is the same she won't let me near her phone... In her words,I am always needing to restore backups why? Because of some mod update etc.
As regard your main question it could be because of the phone carrier, not releasing an update.
I have t-mobile arc and they haven't updated to ics according to pc companion always shows I have latest software, but flashtools will upgrade if you can convince her to let you.

Flashtool is an software mainly made for the xperia x10 but works (i think) on all xperia 2011 devices. Makes my life much easier
You can read about it here: http://androxyde.github.com/Flashtool/
It's made by two guys from xda.
Also, if you need any help using it i will help you to get started
