I don't think 2.3.7 will ever be released for the Xperia Play. However, ICS will be released probably early April

ICS will be released for the R800i and most GSM variants. Maybe it will be released for the R800at too, you never know.
But knowing that Verizon never offered a 2.3.4 update when Sony did, does that mean Verizon will never offer a 4.0.3 update while Sony will?

Officially no. Sony is working on ICS for r800x. The cm7 is STILL majorly flawed for r800x anyway. There really is no major plus to having it

No. Instead they might give us ICS.

That could be a valid reason why Verizon skipped 2.3.4. They probably saw ICS coming. As long as I get ICS, I'll be a happy boy.

I think snow is probably right. Me and my fellow Verizon users will most likely continue to take it up the arse, and will probably only be getting the 2.3.4 update when ics comes.

Xperia play ics ????

Hi guys and gals.
Right I have had my play for a while now , love the phone and I know that this might seem a noob question but there seems to be alot of speculation around if the play will officially get ice cream sandwich , I have held back from unlocking the bootloader and installing a custom Rom as I don't want to void the warranty.
Can anyone say officially if out lovely plays will get this upgrade.
Thanks

hi Alex,
The ICS Update for our play's is set to be release from april-may of this year.
It's probably going to be release alongside PlayStation Suite, so if we get one of the two, be excited for the other, cause we're probably gonna get it too!

If you have a Verizon PLAY (And if you do, you're a sorry bastard. The thing gets ZERO development), then I'd go ahead and unlock the bootloader now. You aren't getting ICS from the big red anytime soon, so your best bet is CM9.

I have both a Xperia play and a sgs 2 with ICS, after a few days of playing around with it, you seem to forget it's there. If there is a choice between ICS, and PlayStation suite. I would rather have the PS suite.
I would rather have more games, than something you will forget is there after a few days

No, it's always been end of April/early May for Xperia Play, as stated in the Sony Developer Blog post from December 2011 here: http://blogs.sonymobile.com/products/2011/12/21/ice-cream-sandwich-coming-to-2011-xperia%E2%84%A2-smartphones-from-end-marchearly-april-2012/

I only hope Play will get some different skin for ICS. Xperia S got nice one framework, hope we will get something tasty. If not, then devs are my hope again.

*Ignore this messsage*

Personally, I think that Sony's Xperia skin looks like a bunch of piss.
...and don't even get me started on that keyboard.

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 Update for the ION

Sony has announced that the Xperia ION will be updated to Jelly Bean in Q1 of 2013!
http://blogs.sonymobile.com/product...rades-jelly-bean-for-2012-xperia-smartphones/

.. Ion still an unknown, hopefully by then we can unclock bootloader for custom rom or port from those official update.
Sent from my LT28i using Tapatalk 2

I'm banking on summer 2013. The first round in Q1 are the new phones that just came out, second round at some undefined time shortly after that included the international ion. No word on any of the ATT phones. I'm betting we'll get it, but like in July.

What do you mean "Ion still an unknown"? That article says,

Don't hold your breath for AT&T to release the update. So far it sounds like they don't plan on releasing JB for the ion. At least we can run the international version.

I still can't believe att ion saw ics really. A bit surprising to me especially taking into account what little interest they've shown with the device so far. Or Sony in general for that matter. There all about Samsung & HTC, Sony tends to fall through the cracks.
They could at least allow us to unlock the damn bootloader though, but I'm not holding my breath on that either.
X10a suffered same fate however most of us were eventually able to unlock BL. There were still certain serial #'s that remained unlockable, mine was one of the lucky one's. Don't get your hopes up.

True, that's why I got SXS insted of Samsung mobile

ok, i understand that making such a big update takes time.
even if it takes Sony about 2-3 months more than the competition to finish the update, it's not such a big deal for me.
my phone works great on ICS and yes, i'm looking forward to JB but i'm patient.
but if they f**k up the update (like ICS) and they don't fix the dialer lag and auto brightness issues i'm buying a Nexus.
The only thing that REALLY pisses me off it's the update schedule!!
When we bought our SXS's (the majority of us i guess), this was the flagship device! The most advanced and the most expensive Sony you could buy. And now we are the last one getting the update? Are they F****N serious?
I understand that the "T" is getting it first as this may boost it's sells, but why in hell are the mid range devices also getting JB before SXS?
Sony F****D me with my Arc and now the history is repeating... I just wish they don't screw up the update otherwise i'm leaving Sony for good.

You're right. The only thing that keeps me from leaving it's the UI.
I owned a HTC One S c2 which has roughly the same hardware specs as the SXS and it runs smoother even though it's running the Sense UI.
And the battery.. Mine SXS eats cca 1% per hour when idle (overnight) and 2% per hour on easy usage while the "One S c2" drained only about 1% to 2% overnight (cca 8 hours). So the SXS has some serious performance and battery drain issues! But i love minimalistic UI.

While I can to some extend understand your frustration, Sony will release JB when it does and there's little any of us can do about it, so this thread serves no substantial purpose. Thus it will be closed!
