Android 2.3.4 lands early – Xperia neo receiving update

Sony Ericsson said that the Android 2.3.4 firmware update would be rolling out to the 2011 range of Sony Ericsson Xperia handsets from October. Well it looks like Sony Ericsson has outdone themselves as there are confirmed reports of the Android 2.3.4 update rolling out to the Xperia neo as we speak, we would expect other handsets to follow in due course. The latest firmware updates the build number from version 4.0.A.2.368 to 4.0.1.A.0.283.

You may be wondering what’s included in this update – well the v2.3.4 update will bring video Google Chat, a new 3D panorama camera feature, a swipe text input system, screen capture and further enhancements to Facebook inside Xperia. The update seems to be hitting those with Nordic/Dutch firmware for now, but it can’t be long before it rolls out to other territories. We’ll bring you news as soon as the other Xperia handsets receive the update. In the meantime, check out some screenshots below.

NO WAY! CHECKING PC COMPANION NOW!
Mr.Alawi

NICE NICE hope the update comes to ARC soon

The Arc uses the same firmware like all other xperias too… the same build number from neo is also for arc at PTCRB since 16th September… that means Arc update should also start in the next days depending on your region…
singhh

can’t this firmware be flashed to the arc? isnt it similar?
http://twitter.com/ViMoNews ViMoNews

similar but not identical… there are still small differenzes i bet and the bootloader would not work with another firmware because it will have another signature…
if you have an open Bootloader on your arc you can try it…. but i think it will not boot anyway…
singhh

thanks bro, i just hate waiting

can also confirm update is available for generic handsets in the UK. Updating via PC Companion as I type this. It keeps all data in the phone. I wish it did a clean install and update but I guess I can repair the handset after updating it. Thanks for confirming ViMoNews. You made my day

2.3.4 arrived to Xperia arc in Sweden.
Seems to be connected somehow to Telia, but unbranded handsets.

Grats!

you do not need to erase all data with this update… it’s just a minor update and also with 65 installed apps and lot of settings no FC or other problems…

would be waste of time

You think this firmware update will be available for the Xperia Active as well? I doubt they will implement the Sweep Panorama feature even if the update is available.

Just updated my Arc.
But I`m kind of dissapointed in the camera update.I thought they would implement the “3d multi angle” function for the firmware updatre as well but it seems like this is an Xperia Arc s and Neo V exclusive feature Is there a way to get “multi angle” on my Arc anyway ?

multi angle ? what are you talking about? the arc received the sweep panorama and 3d sweep panorama as part of the update. is that what you mean? another website reported that the panorama features are exclusive to the neo and arc s. that is not true. i updated mines and i have both panorama and 3d panorama sweep in my camera settings.

ALL xperias have same firmware and same software features… doesn’t matter if Arc, Arc S, neo, neoV, play, pro, ray, mini or mini pro…

Not available in the UK just yet. (have checked). Guess SonyEricsson love Dutch/Scandi people more than they do us. Neo still rules, though. Better value than Arc, Play, Ray or Gay.
