A Ya – tomat!

there is really none for xplay.. sad……

Thanks – we’ve reworded the post (and added the fact that the Xperia ray, neo V and arc S are also receiving Android 4.0.4) to make it clearer!

Damn you SONY

you are nothing , your engineers are nothing

DAMN you for canceling xperia play ICS …

it works but if you unlock your bootloader you will lose DRM forever. That means I can’t use my lovely TrackID anymore. I hope someone will figure root access without unlocking bootloader.

Yeah baby!!

Hi maybe a stupid question, but do I have to upgrade my Arc through a PC or is this update Over Air?

android-indir.com

yse s1tool method.or setool2 paid method
those ways you won’t loose drm,same in my neo v
track id works good too

Nope, none of them have NFC

no update yet in Costa Rica for XPERIA Arc

i have the same SI number but y still cant update?

When Xperia Ray get update to ICS 4.0.4 anyone here please show me when

from greece now update!!!

There won’t be any OTA update of the ICS, you’ll have to either using the PC Companion or the SEUS.

can you tell me if you could root the Arc?

Well, I didn’t try out 4.0.3, I switched from 2.3.4 to 4.0.4. But the performance is great. There is no lag, except in some extreme situations. All apps seem to be running a bit faster, and WiFi and GPS are much faster. That is compared to GB.

I tried almost all available one-click root methods and none are working for me, if that is what you want to know about.

Just figured out, My Phone model number, LT15i and SI number : 1246-7449 are not among the lists, whose updates are out.
Need to wait more

The newest Xperias, the S, P and U (I own the S, my wife the P and my daughter an U) have to wait longest. I am not very amused. That ins Not what I call service.

my xperia arc has SI 1246-9197 but isnt on the list so when am i getting ics?

Xperia s will get more than ics update but a walkman stock app with clearbass , so it worth the waiting

Will the new gallery and walkman app included in this update?

No thanks.

Upgrade to ICS = crappy battery, NO vpn (since its broken in ALL 4.0.x ICS builds), and other unforseen glitches.

People want to upgrade just so they can tell their friends they have ICS on their phone. Aside from 6-12 apps (that you won’t use anyways), there is NO reason to upgrade to ICS.

Use Espier Launcher so your phone looks like iPhone, and download free ICS keyboard (from Redmondpie dot com) and you’re set.

My 2.3.4 is 90% stable, FAST, and problem-free. AND I have full root even on locked BL.

No update yet in the Philippines for Xperia Arc.

Vmestet my Fruktovyĭ Sad!

My neo SI # 1247-8406 (Sri Lanka) not yet have ICS update any comments about this guys

I turnd of my phone waited 5 sec hold the back key and connected the usb cable, the sony ericsson logo appers for a few sec then the battery indicator and then nothing happens. someone PLEASE HELP.

ics for xperia pro is very nice. update is available in the philippines

I just updated my Arc S in Russia. It looks like get better a little bit.

Yeah the official update isn’t available, however that doesn’t stop you from updating with the international version as Doug said below… I’ve had this version on my Arc for at least a month now with no problems. It runs perfectly and looks beautiful. I think I might just keep this one and forego the official software update since the Rogers version will undoubtedly have a whole bunch of extra crap on it I don’t need. I highly recommend you do the same. You can find it in the Arc forum section of XDA-developers.com

xperia neo
no SI number 1247-8406 in the list

Question: If I already unlocked my BOOTLOADER will be able to update my phone via PC Companion? Or do I need to use other method?

when i can update at Japan ??? ( AU IS11 )

why my si is not there?? e.e

why si is not there it is 1247-1361??

PLZ WERE CAN I FIND FOR XPERIA S?

I finally managed to update my Arc S to 4.0.3 through the Sony Update Centre (by holding back key) as Sony PC Companion kept failing to do the update. The build number is 4.1.A.0.562 but noticed that there is a further update to 4.0.4 – 4.1.B.0.431 but phone update states I already have the latest software. Can anybody please help, or advise if I can get this latest firmware?

I updated my Xperia Neo (MT15) to ICS two weeks ago.
I have noticed that the speed of the phone has reduced significantly compared to when it was on Gingerbread. Even the games run bit slower on ICS on Neo. So if you highly value your phone;s speed, don’t update it to ICS.

Further more, there’s a drawback :
On the locks screen you can not see the notifications of unread messages, missed called etc. They only display on the thin notification bar at the top of the screen. On Gingerbread you could see those notifications in the middle of the screen, without even unlocking your phone.

I have re-updated my Arc S more than 1 week ago… but checking the android version, it is still 4.0.3. How come? Just wondering,. with android 4.0.4, I’m crossing my fingers that they have worked out some of the 4.0.3 bugs (e.g. wifi disconnecting from time to time, slow reaction when going to the dial pad/contacts, slow rotation, etc..). Thanks.

is android 4 available in India for xperia arc..

How to update

i also tried updating my phone (arc) directly on it but it still says it is still updated but i only have a android version 2.3.3

Had the same problem. Updated with the sony update service software.

its available now in Sony PC Companion.

i have just updated to ICS yesterday morning, having problems receiving calls, my normal missed incoming call would goes direct into voice mail instead of SMS from my SP. Always no network, always prompt me to restart, please help.

Does anyone know how to get back the old arc launcher on ICS. I miss the old one, dont like new one.

Hey guys
I did upgrade for one week ago, and that#s why I first write now about it. I was like most of you afraid to upgrade but it went well. Everything is more fast and fluent on the phone, does not increase the battery thought. The phone works great and the new features are really usefull. Bit of advice > do delete you SD card and do a fabrik setings on the phone before the upgrade. Clean Phone = Clean result. I hope that was helpful. Enjoy your New Xperia Phone it’s worth it.

Updated my arc lt15i and found out:
Good things:
Improved ui

Bad things:
Lots of bugs and issues…
1)half the games like shadow gun,gta & angry birds do not work.
2)video player at times refuses to play 720p videos..
3)while downloading from app store large apps fail to download under the pretext of low memory even though there was 50mb of intrnl memory
4)lockscreen music controls look pathetic compared to the ones provided by realplayer & other music playerz on Android market…

how can i make a screenshot?

Hold both the power button and the volume down keys at the same time to take the screen shots. Takes few practice to make it work.

Oh my god. Why am I updating my sony arc s need to wait so long? I wait I wait but it still on the step 2 and it is preparing computer for software update?

What is the latest firmware and software for Ray please? My network provider’s tech team recently upgraded my Xperia Ray software and now if I put the phone to my ear during a call and then remove it, the screen remains inactive. The home and power buttons are also inactive and the only way to terminate the call is to remove the battery! I am on Build 4.0.2.A.0.42 and Android version 2.3.4 at the moment.

I used PC Companion to update my Sony Xperia Arc S to ICS (Official Sony update). The update did not complete and showed an error. When I tried turning on my phone, it displays the Sony logo, followed by the image of a phone with an exclamation symbol next to it. Then the phone goes blank. I even tried removing the battery and putting it back. Also tried charging my phone. The same thing happens. I don’t know what to do. Please help guys. I’m scared that I won’t be able to revive my phone
