ICS update - Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a few questions about this. Firstly, does anyone have an exact date for the update? Secondly, I relocked the bootloader, after the update, will DRM return. Thirdly, does anyone know if it includes toggles (for WiFi, Bluetooth etc.) in the notification area?
Any help is appreciated. Thanks

1. From 15. Mars to 15. April
2. Testpoint unlock, yes
The official unlock, no
3. Thats a hard one. Impossible to. know how the final product looks like.
From my sexy LT15i

SONY has two release dates, the first one is 29th-30th march if they obtain PTCRB certification, if they don't ICS will be released within April 1 to 30.

SE (yes, when it's still SE, not just SONY) said end of march or early april.
let's say something goes wrong, and they decide to delay it 1 month.
so that gives us end of april or early may.
arrrrgh, the waiting is killing me >.<

Same. When they said late march, I was expecting it to be out by now. Especially with the arc s being one of the first to be upgraded

ICS April 30th for Verizon Users....

Just saw this. Exciting. Hope its true.
Found this just now. Android Guys has a article saying Verizon R800x Users getting ICS 4/30
Xperia Play- update in testing, OTA scheduled for April 30th

----Edit
Sorry, must have missed this part...
If you don't have one of the aforementioned Androids, fret not. There are a few others (listed below) that have updates in testing, although it's not specified if the updates are to Ice Cream Sandwich.
HTC Thunderbolt- update in testing, OTA scheduled for May 10th
Droid Bionic- update in testing, OTA scheduled for May 3rd
Xperia Play- update in testing, OTA scheduled for April 30th
Galaxy Tab 10.1- update in testing, OTA scheduled for May 3rd
LG Revolution- update in testing, OTA scheduled for May 16th
With any luck, we'll see some of these updates being rolled out over the next few weeks. I'd be willing to bet that at least one of them gets pulled because of bugs, but we can't all be perfect. More on this as it develops.
Very good find, friend .

I know.... exciting. Think the reason so soon is because R800x uses vanilla Android, so no Timescape skin to work around, although there is the SE framework

The only thing I see wrong with this is that it would imply we receive ICS before GSM guys, which doesent make much sense.

Well maybe I am just being hopefull. But remember our CDMA phones do not have Timescape skin.... we are on Vanilla Android. With that in mind I am hoping that it makes it easier for ICS to be developed for our phones...... again just me being hopeful....thoughts?

Probably not, Timescape for ICS is already complete in the Arc S official update, which also will run on the arc and will probably run on the play.
Maybe Sony has kicked Verizon up the arse this time, or they are releasing both at the same time.
And bare in mind, Sony said they would not be giving out any OTA's.

Verizon only does OTA updates.
Thats how they have been doing things for the last 7 years.
I think if you don't get this ICS update, find an unhappy AT&T customer with the R800at, then swap

Well... I had been with Cingular (Now AT&T) for 5 years, then switched to Verizon a year ago and I think there service blows. On AT&T I was getting over 1mbps data plan. Verizon.....250kbps. I know I cannot blame them for that its the mountains I live by.... but I have had so many dropped calls. AT&T none in years.... so next year I will jump ship most likely.... just not very pleased with Verizon. And I work right next to a corporate office... maybe I should go there for my update for my phone!
Thinking about it, its very likely 2.3.4 so that the PSN store works on the Verizon Play. Sony likely told them that they HAD to release it so the store would work, otherwise there would be plenty of unhappy customers, directing their rage likely at Sony....

Emmm, yes. I'm better than before - my hands are fixed (95% of progress in rehabilitation, Carpal Tunnel Syndrome), so soon I will back in development and will make ROM based on official ICS (when it will be). Next I think I won't make much big topics, cause this problem can back, and my doctor said I need to stop using computer forever (I mean I can't using it too much), this is sh*t ;/.
How about you? Things going on ok?
Going well. Wife has hasn't killed me yet, but some day my picture will be on a milk carton for sure.
I'm good. Just working and remodeling my new home. Got my wifes family coming from China in 3 months to visit for 6 months. So I am excited to see them, plus it will be their first time here.

Q&A about Oreo Beta

Before we begin: NO, I WILL NOT PROVIDE A ZIP HERE.
OK, now when thats out of the way, lets Start with the most asked questions about Stock oreo for Moto G5.
1: Q: "Is the Beta out yet?"
A: Not yet, but very soon, as the Moto G5 MFN requests have Been accepted.
2: Q: "Can you provide the OTA ZIP?'
A: No, because
1:Its illeagel
2: Its made for a specific IMEI
3: It may damages your device.
3: Q: "How do we find out if Oreo Beta out? Using OTA?"
A: You cant find out if your Device's Bootloader is unlocked and if you didnt join MFN using this link:
https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/Forum-...or-the-Motorola-Feedback-Network/td-p/3064626
Then, when the day comes, you get Oreo Beta if you are on Stock and have Bootloader unlocked at that momement.
4: Q: "I dont care about illeagel stuff how do i get the ZIP extracted?"
A: You cant!
Because you only recieve the update if youre Bootloader locked. Thus you cant access /cache. Unlocking the Bootloader after you downloaded the Update erases Cache and Userdata (as we all know)
5: Q: "So... Will Oreo ever come out?"
A: Of course it does! Just give motorola time!
I will edit this thread when More questions get asked.
You can disguss and ask questions here, but look at your grammar and think twice before asking something.
Thanks, P8tgames :good:
Nice, can't wait to see news about the beta for our device
Hope it comes out quick
Truly excited.
I suppose there might be a way if someone runs a traffic detector on his/her network and grabs the OTA link...
(By the way, check some typos in the first post, it says things like "illeagel").
Oreo? We will get a lousy November security patch update first. So Oreo maybe in March or April, I bet.

Well, it shouldn't take longer than march. If it does, it will be a tremendous dissapointment. My guess is february, maybe they will skip november and go straight to december-january
I got my g5 yesterday and it only has august 2017 security patch, so a 1 day old phone for me has only a 5 months old security patch available in it... I came from a G4 Play forgotten by motorola after they promised G4 Play users an update to android 7.0 more than a year ago and never delivered.... looks like I've fallen in the same trap again, damn.

The beta or soak test for our moto g5 should be close, the X4, Z, Z2 force, Z2 play and Z play have receive oreo or at least the soak test.. the only remaining phones are the original Z force and then all the G5 family

[T-Mobile Variant] I guess were getting a security patch update every 2 months?

Just updated my phone at work for a security patch and went from September to November that's cool I guess, I was kinda hoping for December but I guess we will skip December get January's in February
I personally don't understand all the hoopla over a security patch.. No offense, but I never had any phone of mine compromised, even if I did not have the latest patch.. I always look forward to the new Android OS or other updates that actually make improvements to the phone.. My phone go the Nov updated 2 weeks ago.. I never did understand why they wait to actually get these things out.. If it is so critical, they need to push it out when it actually comes out.

I remember when I bought my Moto Z2 Force. Then first time I booted it up, I got 4 updates one right after the other April-August.. If these companies want to retain customers, then yes, they need to step up the game a bit...

XZ1 didn't receive the July security update

Hey!
I know it's not the first time that our device doesn't receive the monthly security update, but since the device is almost two years old and I always felt like the XZ1 was "forgotten" by Sony, do you think it was intentional and we won't receive any more security updates?

It does not matter what we think.
What matters is that the device is old, Sony has had bad sales recently and they have cut personnel.
But also, XZ1, XZ1 Compact and XZ Premium have had updates at the same time usually. So all of them are out of business.
For me personally it is not loss - banking apps work, phone works, everything works. This is anyway a device that I carry with for occasions that I need it. It is not a device for spending some fun time.

Yeah the fingerprint scanner is very fast now but i wud wait for some more days.. coz it always starts giving issues after somedays of registering
Your lucky, we're still on a June update in NZ. I hope this update wings it's way here really soon. I've been really tempted to throw this piece of junk off a bridge because of the utterly useless fingerprint reader and it unlocking in my pocket. It's the worst mid range phone i have ever owned bar none. Had my rant, feel better now. No more samdung in my life ever once this one dies!

Just wait till you get the August update. I was in the same boat as you. I hated this phone for its camera and useless fingerprint sensor. Hell I had even listed it for sale online. But after the update today the fp works flawlessly. No tricks. No multiple fingerprints. It unlocks instantly. I hope that the next update improves the camera as well. Fingers crossed.
we got update in iran?
