Froyo? - Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is Froyo (Android 2.2) Possible on our Plays?
Sent from my R800i using xda app-developers app

For the love of all that is holy!?!?
Seriously, it's probably very doable, but if you've got all that time an energy....

Why do you want froyo? Im pretty sure froyo is slower than gb and has less features.

It will be lot of work because you must make drivers for our HW and make/edit whole new framework. Maybe it will have more RAM but with cost of porformance.. But on the other side it would be very interesting to try Froyo.
Well, good luck with googling

Just curios, how is the battery?, and was the original clock speed 800mhz?

Yes the original clock is 800mhz and it has a 1400mah battery and gets about one day of standby

Given that the hardware is the same for all the Xperia 2011 devices, either they update all or they don't.

As of now, SE doesn't give any official info about ICS on their all devices..
They don't give confirmation because ics isn't out yet. They need to see how much work is done involved in and the benefits in upgrading before doing so.

Unlike small-time devs, Sony Ericsson is one of Google's partners who has access to all of Google's source. That it isn't out yet for the public doesn't mean SE doesn't have anything.

I'm pretty sure sony won't have it yet. Clearly now samsung have some kind of "special relationship" with google, they will make sure that possible leaks are kept to a minimum. It's worth millions for samsung to have the first phone to market with ICS.

well 1 of them would have to be the UI.
it looks so much better.
another thing would be the launcher, chrome app, the taskswitcher, everything really.
p.s dont say thanks to me click the thanks button instead.

They probably are still trying to lessen the attention for the PLAY, otherwise they have no valid reason to not include the driver update

I think there is still no ICS for the first Galaxy S... Petition is pointless
galaxy s had no better hardware.
We have that much.
the xperia j is a low end phone than arc s but it is getting jelly bean

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.
I got Xperia s without knowing that Xperia t was already rumored!! .should have waited for Xperia or v!

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!
Thank you!
