New ICS firmware (6.1.1.B.1.89) certified for Xperia P, U, go and sola

Maybe the last of Xperia U update! Sad!

I am quite satisfied with my Sola as far as hard-ware is concerned, but ICS in Sola is really crappy. If this upgrade will not solve some crucial bugs I don’t think I’ll keep the phone.

Sincer vad peste tot cum se vaita lumea de updateurile celor de la
Sony.Xperia u,go,sola,j,neo l,miro si tipo sunt toate telefoane de sub
1000lei.Toate au ics,iar unele vor primi update chiar la jelly
bean.Arata-mi alt brand care are la preturile astea telefoane cu ICS sau
JB.Daca updateurile vin mai greu e din cauza ca Sony incearca sa-ti
ofere o versiune de android intotdeauna cat mai buna(poate nu cunosti
problemele cu galaxy s3,cica flagshipul anului 2012:lag teribil,faptul
ca uneori nu puteai raspunde la apeluri,”galaxy s3 sudden death” si
altele.Nu stiu de ce toata lumea vrea intotdeauna ultima versiune de
android.Eu am Xperia J si am ICS din fabrica si update la JB promis pana
la sfarsitul lui martie(cu toate astea nu ma voi grabi sa fac
updateul,vreau prima data sa fiu sigur ca JB merge bine).In ceea ce te
priveste,daca iti doresti ICS sunt convins ca e regretabil ca nu ai
primit updateul,dar eu zic sa instalezi Sony Pc Companion si sa
verifici.Din cate stiu,toate telefoanele din 2012 au primit deja update
la ICS si in Romania,chiar de ceva timp.Iti doresc mult succes!

I don’t understand you guys.In my country Romania xperia sola,u,go,miro,tipo,j,neo l are all priced at max 220euro.When i look at people’s favourite mobile brand(samsung) i see no ICS for phones under 300euro!Yet all ppl blame Sony for late updates.Maybe ppl are so ignorant and that’s the reason why they aren’t being satisfied with Sony quality,reliable,premium feel products,but they are in love with cheap plastic and ugly phones from samsung!samsung fool people with numbers knowing we as humans are like sheep.Don’t be a part of flock anymore!Be unique,be special!Why do you guys think you need 5748957cores?I don’t care about Galaxy s3 being flagship of 2012 when i saw it lags like hell,you can’t even answer to calls sometimes(isn’t that the most important thing for a phone?).Google “samsung galaxy s3 sudden death”.And many many other bugs.I don’t want criticise anyone,everyone’s free and can buy whatever he/she wants,but i hope you’ll think when you buy something from now on.Sony is not perfect,nothing in this world is!

if i had a penny every time i read that a new firmware have been certified for Xperia P,U,Go and Sola….

That is usually a pre-certification firmware. It might contain parts of the update but not all of it. That means that for example 1.13 might have contained a new WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS driver set but no new GSM baseband. Because those new drivers are then already certified 1.89 could go through certification faster.

In the UK the last update for the Go is 6.1.1.B.1.10, not seen 0.249, 0.253, .54, .75 and probably not the .89 why does xperiablog KEEP saying updates WHEN DO THEY NOT EXIST. Stop this spamming and rumor mungering. More importent is when will Sony release a 3.5 or 3.7 or 4.0 or 4.3 inch screen mobiles, all there is 3.2 and 5.0 inch for 2013. I’m due for a upgrade end of Feb and there are NO Sonys to choose from, so I’ll be off to Samsung or motorola

Very well said @bavarezul13. Most people are easily persuaded by marketing techniques. Like the flexible OLED which is being marketed now by that top selling company when actually it is Sony who actually researched and developed the thing (see the 2007 video in wikipedia).

I totally agree with you and I don’t like Samsung like I don’t like Apple (actually I’m more of a Nokia guy) but you have to consider this: at the moment most of their new products come out with jellybean (gs3, gsn 2, gs3 mini, galaxy x-cover 2) while Sony only has it on the xperia t at the moment. Moreover they announced they are going to update gs2, gsn and some of their devices like galaxy beam and galaxy ace 2 are getting jb from gb skipping ics. Sony instead is going to update xperia v, xperia s, xperia p and xperia go. I know the xperia go has to manage less pixel with the same hardware of the U and the Sola, but it’s still frustrating the fact that only one of the three twins will be updated.

are careva facut update la ICS Xperia U cu pc companion?(pt cei cu device luat de la Orange)

I agree with you but i have to say all Samsung phones you named are more expensive than products i named from Sony,at least here in Romania.Another thing we have to consider is that Samsung has a better partnership with Google than Sony.I consider that all 2012 Xperia smartphones should be upgraded to JB,but newer it’s not always better.Maybe Sony believe that JB will not be so great on U and Sola because of small ram memory(i have Xperia J which is even worse in terms of hardware and Sony promised update to JB until late march)so we can’t know for sure what are their reasons,but i understand very well how owners of Sola and U feel.Anyway i’m not gonna update to JB till i know it works smooth for my phone.

yes maybe it is about … if i knew this earlier before i was buying xperia s i will bought an xperia p for sure better screen better updates with more feauters and which is most important the update for JB will be before xperia s, good job for sony first we have to wait to update their 2011 smartphones to ICS now we should wait again for JB we are always waitting for something and i check this page every day to see if there is something new about XPERIA S which is stupid a lot but for next time i will know what not to buy…

the flagship of 2012 that isn’t the flagship,

How samsung and other phone manufactures work:

let’s create high end devices and give them loads of updates, make cheaper phones and to reflect this price we will not update it as much.

Sony: lets make a highend flagship phone, but neglect it of updates, and make cheaper phones, and give these loads of updates.

oh and to show are true appreciation of our high end phone users lets make them wait the longest to the JB update, that’ll keep our customers loyal.

in all fairness I am excited to see the leaked JB firmware for the xperia S, and the features they are incorporating with it, so kudos sony on that, just get the firmware out NOW!

párrafo when saldra párrafo xperia u this actualizacion

call me old fashion but am still running my U on GB. it’s stable yet simple. why race with the newest OS if it’s still in unstable, developing stages.

My SGSII was flagship and I am still on ICS.

agreed, but …Ace 2 and S advance are skipping ICS for JB

I think you missed it – the T still comes out with ICS. not JB. until the Z sony has NO phones with JB. their JB is still being baked!!!

agreed…there’s so many to choose from s don’t say there’s ain’t any…i’m going for sola or acro s next month….don’t care with those android things…juz want a good looking phone made by SONY

My Xperia acro S has the same chipset as your S but has ext sd card functionality (needs some kernel work and framework modifications)
And until now I am patiently waiting for JB udpate…

P.S. someone ported the JB lockscreen for our devices, IT WORKS LIKE A BOSS! I CAN’T WAIT FOR OFFICIAL JB UPDATE!!!

Sunt in sesiune si cand ma plictisesc de invatat ma mai uit putin pe aici.Si asta e primul lucru pe care il postez vreodata undeva:))

lol not that much frustrating, my friend has Xperia S and has really not a single problem with it, my xperia P can’t take pictures, has wifi bugs, synch bugs,sound bugs, since 3 updates and still nothing’s fixed, I don’t understand Xperia S users whining for this as their phone works well, thei can even get JB 4.2.1 on Cyanogen Mod that we xperia p users can not

Pot sa confirm ICS pe SOLA din Octombrie chiar

I cant believe don’t write here about samsung … SGSII is phone from 2011 year and that phone will get JB and XPERIA S 2012 phone will get JB lately and also maybe it will be last update like they do to xperia arc i don’t know user experience will show is it worth buying XPERIA phone (i have XPERIA S)…

As I said I’m due a new phone to replace the 3.5inch Go, but I also want a 2013 phone not another 2012 model and Sony only has 3.2 and 5 inch for 2013.
Only S,T (too big) ,P,U,Sola and Go have a 2011/2012 cpu. Miro,Tipo (too small),J (ok) have a 2009 cpu. I want a 3.7 to 4″ for 2013 and before end of Feb which will not happen. I predict that Sony will not release 3.7 to 4″ screen phones at all for 2013, only 5″ and bigger.

WTF is this sh*t? This is already the 5th update after the “6.1.1.B.1.10″ update for Xperia U, and STILL Sony says that “6.1.1.B.1.10″ is the latest one… r they crazy???

And why do you think amoled is better?I think it is not because of oversaturated colors and because of viewing angles!Maybe you like other people around you to see what you’re doing on your phone but i don’t.Sony has bravia engine which for me it’s the best(it is recongnized that Sony produces the best TVs).About software bugs,i disagree!Anyway i respect your opinion even if you didn’t support it!You are free to buy whatever you want,it’s a free world.Good luck!

Just like the other 4 before it it’s one thing to be certified it’s another to be released, it’ll never be released. Xperiablog should not waste our time, tell us when it’s released in the wild with a youtube video, seeing is believing, certification is innuendo, have you nothing better to do.

pls name me one xperia which have Tn display .

Shamesung with ips, oled??? Hahahha! Who cares while it is simply “pentile”! Type pentile samsung in google and search for images, you will see this super screen, even galaxy s3! I saw it on my own and this is a shit, while you are looking at the screen a little bit closer you will see the pixels! Huge quadrants and sucksung is using it because pentile is cheaper in production than normal lcd. First time I saw it I said: what the fuck?! Is it broken? But it is not and s3 is laggy on jelly bean, now go and buy your shamesung

This is such a crock of shit!

Sony Xperia S will get 4.1, while other devices around the world will get 4.2, and lets not talk about 5.0!

I think its only fair to give Xperia S 4.2 directly,. instead of a delayed 4.1 . Dont you think Sony?

Youse got Xperias from A-Z , dont you think its time to bring out another name?

Im just boared of reading in this blog only about the Xperia Z,… ok its a new phone, but he,. youse brought out other phones too which people have bought and are waiting for some action,. and i think i can write this on their behalf too. So Sony,.consider this,. Work on 4.2 or even better on 5.0 for another three to six months,. and give us that to us Xperia Users and dont worry about 4.1.. Im sure us Xperia S usere will be more glad to wait another 6months to get something better and stable , than something almost outdated…. Oh yeah, and ps,… FIX THE GOD DAMN BUGS ! Jesus! They are maing me or better yet, making US sick ! and also its making us regret the time and date we bought the Xperia S device!

Thanx.

All Xperia S users

.75 FW still hasn’t rolled out for U/GO/SOLA

Don’t know when this will. And if Sony finally gets ICS right at least with this release.

sony’s JB is not yet ready ! can you please cite ANY phone being available with JB ?

I think this update is also a regional update as the previous update published on ptcrb since it has not been confirmed yet whether the update will be released or not.

oh, sadly, that news is a mistake, which they have not yet corrected. sadly, no JB for t as yet. just a fortnight to go. maybe my mood will change once I see JB

am i the only one with the flash on the xperia P going haywire? everytime i uses the flash, 3/4 of the pic is dark. Hope they fix this in the new update

Totally agree with you Andrew. The XS has become a piece of crap. The RAM management is bull crap The launcher closes frequently, video recording freezes. On receiving a call the screen remains blank. I wish they directly deliver the 4.2 update and then the 5.0 so that I can happily dump my XS into the trash bin.

I’m still running it with. .45.
It’s a shame.

I don’t blame you, so many like me got fooled too on the day the buzz.

how come i havent received the update until now? im from the philippines… has the update fixed the camera bug? or it comes with free new bugs??

Well i had HTC Desire HD before Xperia P and i wish Xperia would’ve had more sturdier case, mine fell and is scratched badly. Also factory-installed protective film got scratched and i had to remove it. Xperia P should never be sold without protective casing and additional screen protection. These 2 things are the first 2 accessories i suggest to every Xperia owner. Get em asap or you’ll be sorry if you drop your phone. Saying “you should not drop phone” is easy, unfortunately accidents tend to happen like it or not.

Xperia U ? When will update be released, last one was in September 2012.

No ICS for Sola in egypt !!! help us sony >>
the last version is 2.3.7 6.0.B.3.184

aww, when JB arrived?

si pana la urma ai telefon sola? ce android ai pe el?
