Develop Bugs

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.

You don't need to relock it, just flash the ICS .ftf file via flashtool once it's released

Thank u
thanks so much where will i find this .ftf file?

sg sII had ICS, waiting xperia update very soon

desperately waiting for this update !

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

So the ICS update was postponned as following: late feb - early mar, late mar - early apr, late apr - early may. Right?

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.

One X international jelly bean update

Hi,
I have an international unlocked one X rooted and with an unlocked bootloader.
My cid is HTC_001.
I wanted to know when the jellybean update was coming or if there was any news

I'm actually excited to try the update, not so much for JB alone, since I don't think there's any stutter that Butter will fix (because I have none at all) and I won't be using google now, but I've read HTC's browser is much improved. I'm also hoping we'll be able to get a bit more battery life, but I'm not quite sure, since JB generally uses more than ICS.

Should be released before the end of November unless something goes wrong again.

Now 4.3 is already old. Discussion about 4.4

As we can see, Many manufacturers like Samsung, HTC have already updated their flagship with 4.3 which is we are yet to receive. HTC already announced 4.4 will be available in 90 days that's by Jan end. Can we expect it any sooner

4.4? Hardly likely. There'll be a 4.3, I'm sure, but I don't believe there's going to be a 4.4. The Z1 and, possibly, the Z Ultra, being the latest flagships, I feel, would be the only candidates for it.

From 4.2 to 4.3 officially there is no difference except for smoothness, and richer use gpu. As far as 4.4, wise battery usage, full screen mode in apps, richer gpu, better integration of hangout, well memory management. I don think Sony would give up on their phones in just 8 months.

Hi.
This may help people understand why the updates take so long:
www.developer.sonymobile.com/2013/0...-process-and-its-improvements-for-android-4-3
Btw, does the ZL still gets warm easily, like from 23°C to 44° C (73 F / 111 F), while playing games (NFS MW, or other "heavy tasks") on 4.2.2? (Mine is running 4.1.2)
It's quite annoying :/ I've heard the Media Server battery leak has been corrected, at least. Heard nothing about the warming problem.
I'm quite sure 4.4 will be available for the Z series. Isn't it supposed to be optimized to support even 512MB RAM devices?

Thanks for your reply. Can you specify if your ZL really getting hot is on 4.2.2? Have you tried any 4.3 based ROM?
Is there any? I'm about to update from 4.1.2 and I'm wondering if this warming issue is still there :/
Seems like the waiting is too long for some. Ha.
4.4 will be here for the ZL as Sony wants to get its goal to be the third biggest smartphone maker, if it wants it,
it needs to support its devices.
But, can we just have a bug-free Jelly Bean mean while? Dang. Any custom 4.2.2 ROM?
The new features of Kit Kat are really appealing, several of them, actually n.n

4.2.2 stock rom is not bad except that heating issue. Update is really improved performance. and for 4.3 you can try cm Rom for which you have to unlock bootloader. So I have not tried any. As per recent tweets 4.3 and 4.4 news will out this week. I don see any problem updating to 4.2.2. If you don't like it you can flash back previous Rom.

Thanks! I'll update to 4.2.2 in some hours... It's 4:15 AM here in Peru n.n How bad the heating issue is still present.
I may try a 4.3 ROM so I can see if it's fixed :/ It's possible to relock the bootloader. Don't want to try?
Yeah, some more days and well have news about 4.3 and 4.4. I hope Sony gives us dates for the oficial 4.3 updates and
positive news for us about 4.4. I've never been the updates fan, my Xperia Pro never got to ICS... It's running so nicely with GB til now.
But 4.4 does have several interesting improvements. Maybe I can update it to 4.4!
Does anyone know what does it take for a device to be suitable for 4.4 update?
As there has been words about 4.4 for older devices.
Maybe it's too son to ask n.n

What heat issue? 44c is pretty normal...
You're running a game on 1920x1080 without any active cooling in a closed device.
Heck the next gen consoles can't even run 1920x1080 on their platform.

It's an issue because not ALL (not even many) other smartphones like this one (full HD, no active cooling) have this heating problem.
Does the Galaxy S4 heats like this? Does the Xperia Z1, maybe?
I know the processor and GPU are working and are making use of energy thus some heat is normal,
but that the device goes from iddle 23° C to 37 and 44° C after not 20 minutes of playing is definitely an issue.
It even gets warm when browsing (Dolphin). This is annoying. Other than that, the device is excelent.
My Razr i only rarely used to get this hot! Actually, I can remember only 2 times when it got to 44° C
and I think it was because of a bug caused by Fuit Ninja, cause in 5 months of playing and using it dialy it never got hot
like the ZL on 4.1.2 and the latest 2.67 build. (As said coolrevi).
I used to use the Razr i proportionally the same as I use the ZL. So, no, it definitely something to look into. I hope official 4.3
and later 4.4 have this problem solved. Or, I don't know, maybe I have a defective unit!

a custom rom and my first choice is pacman.. so if any one could answer these questiosn it would be a real big help... thanx in advance
Reply: Been using this as my daily driver since the day I bought my phone. Works exactly as you would expect.
IR doesn't work on any custom rom so far and you'd have to use something like titanium backup to move apps to SD.
The camera button works just fine. All in all flash with confidence.

4.3 is Just days away

By looking at this pic, you can say that 4.3 will be available in just few day:good:

Hope so, buddy.

thanks man,:good:
its about time for an update. i hope we get a stable build.

it is just the update to 8.0.anything right?

And then gotta wait for OTA update or new root method.... so make it + 2 weeks

first waiting for 4.3 update . then wait for root method

Agreed. My ZL is in for repair, oddly enough, but are we even sure that they don't mean TrackID is up to version 4.3? It's kinda worded that way in the app store screen-shot posted above.
I can't check, but seem to remember it hovering around v3.8 a few months back.
Sony's been ambiguous about their upgrade path lately. It used to run through 4.3, but now with 4.4 I'm not clear on the schedules...

Answered my own question.

I personally don't like these small updates. Why Sony keeps releasing a lot of small updates to an outdated version of Android instead of focusing giving us KitKat, which our phone is more than capable of running?
Take a look at Xperia L, for example, that phone is identical to ours (the only difference being internal memory and main camera) and was released with Android 4.1. They got a major update to Android 4.2.2 and now all they get are a lot of small updates and nothing more. I mean, Xperia L is veeeery similar to Xperia M, so why they didn't get an official 4.3 or 4.4 update too?
If this history of updates repeats with Xperia M, we'll be stuck in Android 4.3 forever. Sony will keep releasing small updates to us instead of bringing new versions of Android and when our phone support ends we will depend only of custom ROMs, not to mention Xperia M dual users (like me) that need to choose between having second SIM functionality or using a custom ROM to get KitKat

Sony will keep releasing small updates to us instead of bringing new versions of Android and when our phone support ends we will depend only of custom ROMs, not to mention Xperia M dual users (like me) that need to choose between having second SIM functionality or using a custom ROM to get KitKat

I agree with you bro..., Sony is just irritating the user with these small updates and even those updates aren't checked properly before they are released., those updates are released to fix a bug, they do fix it but the problem is that they are creating a new bug..
And bro I read somewhere that xperia m both single and dual won't receive Kitkat, and it seems that we ll be stuck with 4.3 forever unless we use unofficial roms.. I think that this ll be the case for all the Sony midrange phones....
I am a great fan of Sony, but now I am starting to hate it...

There is a way to fix the volume bug but you need to have root and delete something...

Yeah I heard abt that from one of my frd.. But I don't want to do that cos we are almost close for the next update.. Waiting is nothing wrong ..
It seems that the next update after QMR2 for xperia m ll take a long time ( usually it takes long time) I mean much longer cos there is no info regarding the future updates from Vodafone Australia

The build number to the firmware is 15.4.A.1.9, a firmware what has already been released.

Is there really a point in the hype around it if it is the same firmware what has already been released? We already have ftf files of it.
