I saw in youtube 3D Multi Angle picture it was just awesome. Did someone manage to get that out of the Arc S dump?
Here is a video that covers it
I was wondering about that too. Went through the whole flashing/rooting/formating/updating to 2.3.4 process mostly because of this feature, just to discover that it's not there.. Bummer :/
i think we can get this
cause the different from the ARC S is only the CPU and the other think are identically like Camera Display and all other thinks.
omg...
when do you all recognize that all xperias have the same firmware on it???
if a new device got it all others will got it too.... and the arc already got it with the 4.0.1.A.0.268 update for nordic....
other regions will follow with the next FW release in october....

pls read right.
The NEW XPERIA ARC S has the same firmware how the old Xperia Arc
but the function 3D Multi Angle is not available on the Old Xperia Arc
and the Question was how can we get this 3D Multi Angle on our Xperia Arc older models too.
nope thats not correct...
Arc has now 4.0.1.A.0.283 (with 3D camera)
Arc S has 4.0.1.A.0.266 (with 3D camera AND 3D angle view)
so you see in this case it is not exactly the same and could be removed from the actual xperia update...
the update that goes around now is JUST for nordic and NOT for other regions... all other countries will skip this update and will get a new one in october with build number 4.0.2.x.x and i'm shure with this update Arc S and all other xperias will have the same FW again and all will get the 3D angle view...

I hope you're right. It'll make my decision to wait over flashing the Nordic firmware worth it. Multi angle view is definelly the best feature, removing iy from this update is like a new BigMac without meat, just wont do.

I can not guarantee that it will come but it would go against the whole unified software concept they use until now and would cause a lot of extra development work...

Android 4.0 updates soon?
Sony Ericsson has submitted its Xperia Arc and Xperia Neo handsets to the PTCRB in the US to test them for compatibility with Google's Ice Cream Sandwich platform.
The PTCRB is a North American alliance of cellular providers, and tests to make sure the phone will run smoothly on all networks when updated to new software.
Sony Ericsson has now submitted its Xperia Arc and Xperia Neo for testing, although there's no word on the Arc S or Neo V at this time - presumably these are either the same thing or will be submitted for their own inclusion in good time.
Beginning again Either way, it's excellent news for the reams of fans that are looking forward to giving their handset a new lease of life when Android 4.0 lands - we're intrigued to see what Sony Ericsson will do beneath its TimeScape overlay.
The move shows that the soon to be solely Japanese firm is sticking to its word - where before Sony Ericsson handsets were among the worst for getting the latest version of Android, a tweak to the UI means it can now be 'unhooked' much more easily from the OS to facilitate upgrades.
Given the phones are in testing now, we're hopeful for an Xperia Arc and Xperia Neo Ice Cream Sandwich UK release date of somewhere in February 2012.

Hey guys I have a sony ericsson xperia arc (LT15i). I would like to update my phone to the official sony website to ICS4.0. But I've heard that it could make my phone lag. But if I just use my phone for text message and phone calls. Would it be okay? Or will it still be lagging? Can you guys give me some pros and cons updating my Xperia Arc?
Also My xperia arc is bootloader unlocked. So does it mean I can't update my phone offcially from sony? Thanks
Yes you can't update from Sony with unlocked bootloader! You have to relock it first!
As far ICS is concerned, it lies on views of different user, but for making calls n txting, it should serve well!

hey dont forget to check your si number at sony ericsson web site update isnt out for every arc yet it might take 19 days more or less for your si number to be updated going off the 4.0.3 for the arc s.
Hey guys. Did you see Sony's details about KitKat? They said they were only mentioning the first few phones to get KitKat but do you think we'll get it in the new year? I remember past Sony updates did happen Dec-Feb.

Sony News - On Jelly Bean 4.3 & Kit Kat 4.4…
If the Sony XPERIA M/Dual was to be upgraded to Android v4.4 [on paper] we'd have a very efficient phone.
Android v4.3 and Android v4.4 are about refining the existing implementation of Android.
It's just the number of little things like Miracast certification, OpenGL ES 3.0, optimised 2D rendering, memory optimisation and etc, that would make an already very competent phone a true delight to own.
I for one will be very interested to read where Sony decides to slot the XPERIA M regarding future Android OS updates, as Android v4.4 is really tailor make for such a device (as I read it)
The XPERIA L, XPERIA M and XPERIA C are all very conspicuous in their absence of any mention, regarded future Android upgrades.
There only problem for the big manufacturers is that revamping low-mid range phones with a streamlined version of android means they sell less because people change less often as their device that was on the way out now functions better than it did new.
I'm not really taking about the xperia M as this is still very new but I wouldn't be surprised if Sony only updated this years phones to 4.4. Tbh anything older probably has more dev work anyway so experienced users will get it via a ton instead of a don't release. Unfortunately we're probably low priority for Sony to update soon (all the flagships will come first) being a mid-low end phone and we also don't have substantial ROM support yet either to get it via CM or AOSP or Slimroms right now. It'll be interesting how it plays out and what we get when.

As for the M not being mentioned, they did say that it is just the first wave of devices, not the last. For any of us that owned Xperia phones in the last few years, you will have seen that the more expensive devices tend to go first, it's not unusual.
Besides the M and Dual, there is the L and C. I would be stunned if these devices get left on 4.1-4.3. I'd be happy with KitKat. :victory:
looks like it will take long time for xperia m, first wave of xperia phone its for z series (from now on).. maybe next years we will get that feature and the only we can do now is just waiting
I think no one will you Stock when CM or AOSP arrives. So dont fuss on sony and dont make this discussion long.

My friend got the Xperia Z months ago. I asked him did he have any custom ROMs. He said no and I asked why. He said that everything works great on his phone on stock firmware.
I've owned Xperia phones from every year. Every year I used custom ROMs. Until this year, that is. With the stock firmware on this phone, I have no desire to try custom ROMs. Now I understand what my friend meant.
Some of us like stock firmware. Plus, it's a bonus that you know you can send your phone for official repair and they won't reject it because you modified the phone.
I feel same for my xperia M not in the mood of customizing it yet

I think you are missing one crucial point. That price difference between Z and M. The update support Z gets as compare to M is huge. Thats why custom roms are made. So if you want regular update get Z.

No news, could still be good news.
Sony has started to identify potential Android upgrade paths on the software support pages for circa 2013 phones.
Again it is noted that all is quiet(22-NOV) on the XPERIA M front with no new information at this time.
Example of the Sony XPERIA SP Android upgrade path seen towards the bottom of the web page.

[Update]
I(not an informed rep) note the XPERIA M is the only Android device using the MSM8227 SoC that I can find... Oh dear.
Maybe Qualcomm will just bin any Android upgrade support, if it requires to much effort for so few Android devices..
This could mean the Sony XPERIA M may be one of the few phones not to advance beyond the Android version it was released on.
This is just something to think about as I'm NOT an engineer and so don't go running off waving your hands about screaming the sky is falling... it's just my observation and something to consider.

You're just summoning another ****storm on the forums.
This post is inaccurate, to say at least, in its entirety, as the M model IS IN FACT getting Android 4.3 in the first quarter of 2014.

I hope that that poster didn't get away with it. That's ridiculous. Since when is it not possible to post an opinion/guess/observation?
Yep, any of us that have owned Xperia 2012/2013 devices may have noticed that mid-tier devices often do get upgrades to major Android revisions, just not the first batch, which makes sense. I think the M will get it, maybe March or so.
Dudes/Dudettes, we're all good.
I didn't really like my own comment that much anyway.
I just worded my retraction poorly and come across as a bit of a drama queen. Fixed it now.
We're in a highly speculate thread until Sony provides confirmation on the direction the XPERIA M will take, so we can except augments from all points of view.
The truth is out there, hopefully we'll know soon.

guys Xperia M is not mid tier to sony..
for them 15000+ is mid tier..
if u see the list for update they has plan to update SP,T,TX,V
all are 15000+
they missed their J,miro...which 15000-
what i m saying is just dont have too much believe and get angry on sony,and dont believe the some sites info...
just wait for <1 year we can see whether SONY give or not giving the update to Xperia M..
but i hope they would alteast give any one update to M like 4.3 or 4.4 in future ... since they didnt update Xperia M to 4.2[maybe planning to jump version instead of wasting time in 4.2]
So what is the Xperia E? The E and M are definitely not even close in terms of specs.
Maybe it's market-dependent. I live in Europe. Here, roughly the prices are:
Xperia E- €60
Xperia M - €250
Xperia SP €350
Xperia Z - €500
The Xperia M is mid-tier in Europe. In no universe is a €250 phone budget. I cannot be sure of every maket outside Europe but I can be here.
p.s. The Xperia Go in 2013 was updated to JellyBean. That was mid-tier.
I will tell you my story...
I have an xperia ZL (C6506) from Telcel and used to have eXistenZ 3.5 (4.4.4 KK) on it. I had a battery problem and my phone deadth, I took it to a Repairment store and it was disambled and I received it with Lollipop 5.1.1
Now I have an XZ3 and my dad owns the XZL.
One day He told me that the mobile signal was too low so I thought it was a software problem so I did a fresh install for eXistenZ 3.5.
The problem is that the signal is still problematic, I compare it to my XZ3 and is always like 5 asu lower and is a very big problem to my dad because He travels a lot and He has te risk to be uncommunicated.
Please help me guys :crying:
