i'd read through our forum a bit more than you have already. there are multiple posts about ICS on the ion. and guess what they are ALL from sony. no one has released a custom developed ICS ROM for our devices yet. so the only thing we have been flashing is SONY made ICS.

A Google for 'Sony Xperia ION ICS'
from my LT28at, rooted and eating an Ice Cream Sandwich

ICS has been out a while now but only in certain countries.
A little research would have led you to the conclusion that you can flash it and root it even if it is not out where you are yet.

Seems like att is slow as hell at getting these updates out, not to menition att isn't too keen on Sony in the phone market after so many flops

So many flops????
At&t basically gives away phones so can't afford to put a lot into development.
I got my X10 &ION for free so I will let xda be my developers. Xda roms better than at&t anyway

I bought Sony Xperia Ion in July, I have been anticipating the ICS release since and I have read several conflicting release dates so i decided to call 611 (AT&T CS) on 8-26-12 and they notified me that the official release date for ICS will be on September 1st. Again, I have not read this anywhere, I called Customer Service under Updrade or replace the device and asked the Customer Service agent through AT&T. I asked her if this was an official release date and she said it was......**fingers crossed**

Knowing how most customer service people are I wouldn't put too much stock into what she said. From what I have been told by my friend at Sony who deals with the Xperia sales and carrier relationships its still on track for mid September, but again its all up to AT&T so maybe they will surprise all of us. Doubt it....

A little off topic, isn't Sony putting out a patch update towards some of the Xperia line that has just been updated to ICS? That might explain AT&T's delays.

Where is everyone getting that AT&T is delayed. The original date was Oct for the ion ICS update. AT&T didn't start working on testing it till the ion was released? September would be a relatively quick turn around time for AT&T to get a major OS update approved.

Only the non-LTE version has had ICS.
Both the LT28i and LT28at have recently had new firmwares certified:
LT28i: 6.1.E.1.19 Aug 31, 2012
LT28at: 6.1.C.1.105 Aug 31, 2012
Hopefully that mid september timeframe rings true for both.

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.

Xperia S jelly bean

Sony really p*****g me off. Gs2 and note are expected to get jelly bean in January. Where Xperia t will get in February, Xperia s in march. By the time android 5.0 may be out.
Gs3 already got jb. What's wrong with Sony? If they don't give us jb quickly, then they shouldn't void warranty for custom rom till they release jb. I really regret buying Xperia s now. And I also don't get that how on the earth Xperia u doesn't get jb where Xperia j does? **** u Sony! U betrayed with the customers!

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!

[q] will xperia s final update be jelly bean?

I really hope not. How long do you think they will keep it updated ?
Galaxy S2 has went from Gingerbread through ICS and now it's getting Jelly Bean. Since Xperia S is starting from ICS, does it mean it will be getting new android after Jelly Bean?

XS is starting from GB,but it was an outdated launch anyway.Sony agreed to support phones(at least flagships) for 18 months of release or with 2 major updates.So somewhere in august it ends for the S.BUT,the Xperia SL is released in September,and it is exactly the same phone(just a little higher CPU clock speed).And it started with ICS,which means it should get at least JB 4.2(though that's not exactly a major update over 4.1).So if the SL gets it,the S should too,even Sony-style excuse for not doing it will sound just stupid.

well if sony stop XS on Jellybean (hope not), we still have CM rom .

SL will stop at August also. Look at Arc S. Got the same fate as Arc...
And I'm pretty sure we won't have beyond 4.1 by Sony, considering Qualcomm didn't gave the sources for 4.2 for our S3 processors (which isn't exactly their fault, as they are a bit outdated. ) T (and variations) and V are the only ones that should have official 4.2 or luckily 5.0, if Qualcomm cooperates.

Custom rom's are fast, stabile and we already have 4.2 - ok, it's not for daily use but I'am sure it'll be soon.
So, when Sony relese official JB and dev from xda get new drivers and other stuff they need - we'll get stabile 4.2.
The other day I installed official ICS ( I'am on JB for a few month's) - it didn't last long , I just don't like it anymore.

What we (XS users) and other Snapdragon S3 phone users (such as HTC Sensation HD) can do is sign a petition asking for sources and drivers for Android 5.0 (or 4.3) for our processors.
At the end of 2011, users signed a petition asking Qualcomm to release drivers and such for the ARMv6 (Snapdragon S1, for example) for ICS. It worked. That's why devices like the X10 Mini and Mini Pro, X8 and other companies devices have fully working ICS or even JB with camera.

Samsung makes their own chipsets so they don't have the same issues as others with sources. If Sony isn't able to update it beyond jelly bean then it is totally qualcomms fault for not putting out the resources necessary. Look at the Nexus 4 which isnt even AOSP because of qualcomms dumb ass. Their is something to be said about making your own hardware.

Exactly its on qualcomm to deliver.

If Sony could only supply the dev community here with the drivers we would easily have the most updated Android phones.

Jelly Bean 4.4 For Sony Xperia S

What do you think are the chances are of Sony releasing jb 4.4 for our devices I mean our devices would be more than enough to handle it.
What do you guys think?
Would it still be possible even though Qualcomm has stopped support for S3 snapdragon chipsets?

None!

i think the same,there are no chance of getting android 4.4 kitkat.at the most we may get 4.2 or 4.3 jelly bean but there are only 2% chances :fingers-crossed: lets hope for the best.but we may get the taste of android 4.4 by great xda developers with less feature that depend on any new type of hardware

That's the weird thing 4.2 & 4.3 are said to be more hardware intensive than 4.4 and it is most unlikely we will get them for our devices.
Yet a lot of websites mention its likely that 4.4 will hit the Xperia family including the S.
What is also been said is 4.4 will or has been designed to run on aged out devices from:
512 RAM
Single low clock speed processors
And our phones come in the mid range of the Xperia family.
Which exceed the suggested minimum basic specs nneeded.
I wish Sony could just say yes or no wether it was possible as I don't want to upgrade as its only been 6 months since I got this device it's ggood but I was surprised how quickly this was shunned and newer devices came out from Sony.

When I see Z1 released with 4.2.2, 4.4 for XS is just a dream.
Sony must sell Z1 as new flagship and it certainly won't update and support 2011/12 device anymore.
I would like that, of course but that won't happen.
I'm trying to find unlockable Z1 in Croatia - I really like that device.

I'm thinking the 4.1.2 update was the last one.

there's rumour about Z1 will get 4.4 in november
http://www.gsmarena.com/sony_xperia_z1_rumored_to_get_android_44_update_in_november-news-6942.php
if that's true then great, finally sony updates the device quickly
this is a good sign, cause I still want sony for my next device
but for XS... I don't think so
just hope with rayman in the CAF kernel.. but it will not come soon.. and you ask too early
Many website said for 4.4 is just false rumour

Hmm...
Screen isn't really bad it's great HD screen but some users reported that they have that stupid yellow tint over screen.
And that's extremely annoying from Sony.
I'll buy it but only and if I can check it first (I already arranged that).
There's great little piece of software for screen testing so I'll use that.

yes yes. its just a dream. will not came

Well letama may make a 4.4 build for xperia s
And xperia s isnt slow, stock rom its self is heavy, roms like cm10 are rocket fast on xperia s
We may just get 4.4 if we ask letama or raymanFX kindly

you will receive even 5.0 if came out.. But stability may be problem.
Anyway, i am on the way to upgrade to Z1.

I believe 4.4 will come some time later.
Some expert in XDA will make it. But Sony wont
remember snapdragon has stopped supporting s3 cpu that's why there's no kernel for jb 4.2 and 4.3
yeah experts in XDA are making it now but i dont think sony cares about it
Our lovely Xperia S is now an orphan. Only users care about it
The performance can definietly do 4.2 4.3 or 4.4, but sony just want us to buy new phones

I saw this in some site.. Can someone translate this.. I think we may get 4.4.. :silly:

Just look on the side of picture (Right) which phones will get it
edit: Sorry i missread.
Ignore this post.

happy
i see S and sl
unless it doesnt say thay
