Must be new to this community eh?but its ok..^^
Here's a question for u..u want to upgrade officially or custom?if officially..u need to wait until this end of March/early April for the official ICS update..
And for custom upgrade..u can take a look at this section-->> Xperia Arc/Arc S Android Development

I'd advise you to wait till Sony releases it all the ics roms are incomplete with missing let features. WiFi on some, camera, data on some, and more.
Probably won't see a complete romtill Sony releases ics on their phones.
I know how you feel, I can't wait for ics on my arc

You could use DooMLoRD's ICS alpha, don't see any bug there and you have on screen buttons.

I use Cyanogenmod 9 and i really like it. If you want to run ics on your Arc i would recommend cm9 or arconium.

I don't recommend ICS roms yet. Just wait for Sony to release the final code, and find yourself a good ICS rom. For now, I'd say Arconium 8 or DiMiui/MIUI-G. They're all based on Gingerbread.
Awesome thanks for the tip. Also once unlocked with omnius is it ready to flash? Or do i still have to unlock with sony site?

Since the omnius thread says that they unlock bootloaders then i suppose that you don't need to do the steps with the sony site. Just install DoomKernel 19 + Arconium 8.1 and you are good to go (all the SE specific features working, from xloud to hdmi).
Ahh you were too late. Omnius was free until yesterday.

I think there is still no ICS for the first Galaxy S... Petition is pointless
galaxy s had no better hardware.
We have that much.
the xperia j is a low end phone than arc s but it is getting jelly bean

They're not testing on the arc! That was a hoax - someone used a custom ROM (based on 431 f/w which kind of gave it away) with the Android version hard-coded to 4.2. They visited a few Android sites and waited for people to spot it.
I hope they will fix ICS to be smooth like GB i don't care about 4.1 JB.JB is nearly like ICS just some more addons,so...
I just hope they fix ICS 'cause i'm not happy with it,it's laggy,camera lags,it's not that stable.So at least give us a proper ICS if not JB.

Goodbye Sony
I was planning to buy Xperia T but when I see their approach to the customers, probably I'll move to another brand. I think that all 2012 Xperia phones get update to 4.1 sometime in 2013 and it will be the last update for them - same as now for 2011 Xperia phones which got only one important update - GB -> ICS.

Yeah.
When i bought my first phone it was ericsson,then sony ericsson and i loved those phones,but sony ericsson sucks at updating firmwares.I'm thinking my next phone will be other brand no more sony if they continue giving us updates like ICS.But is still hope and think they will give us one more update,wich will fix most of bugs.Still hoping.
This sucks! ICS is a real battery drainer and more laggy than GB.. only reason I don't use GB is because the sound lags when running through Bluetooth speakers.

Jelly Bean for Xperia T is out.Opinions and comments this thread!

Ok guys so the JB for Xperia T is in the air.I just watched the review of JB and honestly i don't think they did so well...I mean there is no features I expected to be...anyways I think this is basically what we will see at our phones when JB update is out.So what do you think for now?Do you like it?Share yoir opinions....

The Walkman on JB for the Xperia T is almost exactly the same as it was on ICS. The only difference I see is a bit more audio quality options. You can get the same app on your Xperia S by installing XTXperience 7 or one of the later KA roms. There's also a flammable zip of it somewhere on the General Android apps section here on XDA.

I'm not willing to root. Already got the new purple walkman working on Xperia s without root. But can't get the new sound enhancements like clearaudio+, clear phase etc.

Think of a T JB, without some camera features (HDR, for example). Look at S leak one. Should be like that.

New Xperia S update coming in the form of 6.2.B.1.XX

Good news
Back in June, we reported of a new Sony Xperia S (LT26i) firmware update that was rumoured to arrive in early July. Well obviously that did not come to pass, but apparently a new update is still on the agenda for Xperia S/SL owners. Sony pretty much confirmed as much on the official support forums, saying that it will have build version number 6.2.B.1.XX. There’s no ETA for the update, but we’ll keep our eyes peeled.

Sure they will...most of Xperia S users only think that Sony will only fix the problems in their phone (Xperia S) only because they (Sony) did reply and respond inside SXS forum...talk about typical Xperia S user that think of their own importance and forget about the others (Xperia SL,Acro S and ion)...
Sorry if my message is kind of a little rage message...I'm quite mad because some SXS user only think about only their phone's problem will be fixed

We'll see
This update will well be the last update we are gonna be receiving.. Since Qualcomm have stopped work for S3 chipset devices.. We won't be getting official 4.2.2.. Same case like HTC One S.. Sad that Qualcomm too rejecting the good handsets.. Damn these companies..!!!!

You have to think about something. If Xperia S won't get updated, what are the chances to update Acro S, sl or ion? Zero.

Nothing stop you to use custom Rom or aosp kernel with stock Rom, maybe XSp Rom( like ported HTC Rom)

Thanks for understanding.
And yes, this is keeping me away from flashing PROPER Custom ROMs, which means that some people (incl. me) will have to stick to 4.1.2 forever...

I actually prefer 4.1 ROMs on xs coz they're much more stable compared to 4.2. I have had battery issues with 4.2 ROMs on xs. Hope Sony release a faster, more stable and more efficient 4.1 rather than 4.2. Lets not forget xs runs on over 2 year old cpu.
[OT]My Wildfire S runs with CM10.1 nearly better than with Stock 2.3.5. But let's not forget it has a CPU that was already 2-3 years old when it was released (ARMv6 generation). [/OT]
Just saying...

But bro, if they give an update to 4.2.2, custom roms will obviously come good.. Atleast if they release sources, that would help devs to build a stable one soon.. But they don't.. And obviously i would choose custom rom over stock anytime.. And what XSP ROM(ported HTC) are u talkin bout bro??
