Xperia T Jelly Bean update (9.1.A.0.489) now rolling out

FTF is here https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B_OcUAEg-8ocaGRxSFBZYkVXNmc/edit?usp=sharing&pref=2&pli=1

Check XDA for Flashtool, latest firmwares, etc.

anything for tx yet?

How about the Xperia S? WTH? It should have gotten it first as it was the first Sony Phone without Ericsson and let us not forget flagship! C’mon! Bring it on! I’m sick of listening that other Xperias are getting updated and Xperia S is still on the waiting list.

Xperia S is expected last (late march mid april) I’m patiently waiting for I hope to get all the goodness the Xperia T and Z are getting since its qualified for the updates. Yes it should have been first but I’ve done all my quarreling last year seeing what we’re getting from the leak images of JB on XS. I don’t mind the wait

Wow! That was fast! Hopefully the rest of the 2012 Xperia phones that are getting Jelly Bean will get it faster than planned. Xperia Ion (LT28h) owner here.

this !

That was quite fast. Wasn’t an incredibly low functioning version released for developers like a week ago?

I haven’t yet received it. Could it be a network thing? I’m on O2. Would a power cycle do the trick?

Ok not ALL countries… UK and Taiwan are left behind :-/

UK generic is not available through Emma… and also Taiwan is missing… all other countries seems to be at JB already

Do you know when it will be in UK?

yes but it is supposed to be “europe” but a europe Region does not exist so if somewane wants to debrand and Needs a Special Country Region just ask ^^

YEAHhhhh

I didn’t receive the update pop-up YET in PC Companion (Romania). How do I use this FTF to install it on my Xperia T? It’s not rooted, international version. Is it possible?

I confirm for France ! It came sooner than expected, hope they had time to test it correctly and that there’s not much bugs…

I can only download available firmwares, Independent wich Region or wich device sorry.

Its great

Thanks . My xperia T crash when update.
Now is time to Flashtool

Why can’t people get this strange idea about Sony vs Ericsson out of their heads. The company “Sony Ericsson” is renamed Sony Mobile, Ericsson just sold their economic share. Parent companies don’t interfere on such a low level as single handsets.

Trying with my other account.

Here are my Screenshots:

http://s350.beta.photobucket.com/user/Silasje1/library/jelly%20bean

nothing to Italy yet

Taiwan only sells the TX.

I purchased my XT from Clove Technology.

This is strange. I’m based here in Qatar but I purchased my XT from the UK (Clove). And so I assumed it’s UK generic…

where can i changelog for new release?

No Stamina Mode?

Finally! that’s great work from Sony! Keep surprising us like this!

yeah, nothing for the UK as yet, sadly.

Hope So cuz I can’t wait for JB for my Xperia S

till April. no matter how many times u ask that WONT CHANGE

Wt new feats did this bring…

No sadly.

No stamina mode. so dissapointed

Slovakia-Orange branded JB still didnt show up in pc companion.

Did it delete all your data when updating from 4.0 to 4.1, or it was like an update for Xperia P from 2.3 to 4.0 that didnt delete anything?

Norocosule )

again: i can download updated firmwares that are RELEASED… if you don’t get your Update ofer PCC, i can not download it i just can give you the unbranded Portugal Firmware if it is already released für Portugal

And the V??

customization version is 1265-1626

LOL?! This is Customized CH so, Generic Switzerland

Didn’t receive it yet through PCC in Portugal. Can you please check if you already have the unbranded one for Portugal?

Looks like Sony have just killed of the last remaining vestiges from the Sony Ericsson days by finally replacing timescape ui with their new custom flow ui for all devices with the Sony logo.
The good news for the xperia z is there will probably be aa host of features added to the 4.2 update for that later this year. I was a bit disappointed in the feature set as it is but seeing them give a lot of those to 2012 line up gives me hope that 4.2 will bring much more.

Thanks , mine is still running the 7.0.A.3.195. Is the one you saw more recent?

yes there was

yes, notifications are nice, you can make notifications bigger or smaller with 2 fingers (swipe down or up). looks good

Sorry not yet. Portugal is still at 7.0.A :-/

Does the UI (launcher and the over all navigation) has that minor stuttering still?

Funny, mine started lagging just after te update. Only on the homescreen though..

Yes! Wait!

So…how much is supposed to pass since it was rolled out initially and till most of us get the update? still nothing

LoL… Sony is great…. Xperia S come first and need wait….
Sony is poor….

is it in english :S

Great!

Is this the Euro generic fimware? Can I use it on my Vodafone Portugal Xperia T to de-brand it? Will it void my warranty?

Sorry for so many questions, I’m new at this…

For all who are asking too much questions listen, it is defo better than ICS and is worth flashing/upgrading it My Xperia T feels so new now
It is just a breath of fresh air and have to say SONY did a very good job, but keep in mind, it is still early so cant say much about bugs and stuffs….
TRY IT FOR YOURSELF

Sony FFS! Hurry up with the XS JB instead!

3D camera was dropped with the Xperia T since I think MHL doesn’t support 3D over HDMI. It also just didn’t work very well Stamina Mode is one of the few unique selling points of the Xperia Z software-wise, so they won’t be backporting that. Understandable in my opinion.

Oh, that’s a little funky. May effect it

probably month ago new firmware was registered for 2011 xperia’s , so where is update for 2011 xperia’s?

I believe Sony already stated that the Xperia S wouldn’t get JB until April. It’ll be one of the last Xperia phones to get it.

Sony already stated tha Xperia S, SL, Ion and Acro S were the last ones…in April!

Try read some news before complain…

http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2012/12/17/update-on-sony-software-upgrades-including-uplift-to-jelly-bean-android-4-1-for-2012-xperia-smartphones-2/

So presumably the launcher?

People who asked that most likely had experienced bugs and performance degradation after upgrading from GB to ICS. Of course project butter is promising, but bad experience may outweigh good expectation. Although sooner or later they will move to JB anyway.

is there anyway of changing the Phonebook and Messages back to BLACK colour? i dislike the new white

No you can’t

Did u falshed it or updated via pcc?

I know it, but new 4.0.4(or maybe 4.0.5)) was registered on the PTCRB in december on my xperia ray((

To all the people who have an Xperia T locked to a carrier (o2,vodafone, At&t, T-mobile etc) You will not get this update straight away as the carriers have to test it out first and decide what they think. The only way you can get it early is by flashing it to your phone but this will most likely void your carriers warranty. If you want to know when its likely to hit your phone go to your carriers website or blog and post it in the forum but for now you will have to wait a bit longer than people with debranded phones. Please also note that if you do flash it to your phone and you do something wrong it is your own responsibility.

I live in The Netherlands but I still haven’t received the update! I have an Xperia T from Vodafone.

I don’t agree!! Xperia Z stands out in every single aspect with its hardware…doesn’t need software for that…

And if you include new software functionality in the existing models (which have lower prices) you can atract more costumers.

Maybe you wanna check this out:

you must wait before Vodafone has approved the update

HDR yes, BE2 no, only BE1

Flashing the phone (more exactly MANUAL UPDATING it) is merely a way to force an official update (tft file). The device does NOT need to be rooted as long as the TFT you install is an official one (as the one a user posted here), and thus does NOT void the warranty. The only way you can vod the warranty is if you install a custom rom and the phone bricks, and in order to do that you must root, unlike the situation we’re talking about. While it’s rooted, the waranty is void, however you can always easily re-root it and thus “turn on” the warranty again. Just so you know.

I concur with silasje1 scores, and as for Vellamo, I got a combined score of 2299 (as opposed to about 1750-1800 in the past). I would also, gladly, like to confirm that most benchmark scores I tested (such as Quadrant and Vellamo) give decisive scores that are much above the Galaxy S3 (tested in real time vs a friend of mine’s S3, running JB). Quadrant 5904 (in my case, below it even passes 6000, but Quadrant usually has a variation of up to +/- 200 points in my experience) VS 5345 ; Vellamo 2299 vs 1946. CONGRATS SONY!! Also, when running from 5 to 7 screens, Xperia T is a bit smoother, staggers less, with a few exceptions, of which I’ll write in a separate post about my impressions thus far.

great

Why is the moderator deleting my posts? There are people here asking about how the Xperia T works with the new update, I posted an extensive review of features, plus and minuses thus far, and now it’s gone…What;s worse, user SebastianP asked questions about the functionality of the update that he could have easily found out about by reading my post.

Why are the comment moderators deleting a post such as mine? Makes no sense.

Yeah the good thing about my Orange (Romania) phone is that it’s not software branded. At least it doesn’t have a logo at the beginning. It is carrier locked though.

Big thank You for You!

Not available for the TL yet. Thinking of rooting to get the global version.

How you can use Google Now in Netherlands?

how you mean? You just open it by pressing the google search widget or hold the home button and swype upwards

and you are missing my point. Hardware is not enough. I am all for newer feature on older phones but the xperia z should have functionality that differentiates it from previous xperia devices. just putting in better hardware is not enough.What would justify me buying an xperia z when the xperia s will do everything that the z can do(but slightly slower)? It is all about the entire experience. The overall phone experience should be improved compared to an older device for example take a look at the sgs3 compared to the sgs2 has a lot more features in addition to better hardware despite both of them being able to run jelly bean. Hardware is important but unique device only feautres matter. it os what will make the xZ stand out

I understand your point but the hardware (not only CPU+RAM+GPU) is totally different which makes the experience totally different!

Much bigger screen, a lot more pixels, BE2 (and this is software but makes sense to be exclusive since the GPU and the screen is different), the new RS sensor, HDR video, burst mode, water prof, more compact and beautiful design…and so on…

I agree they have to have some differences but Stamina Mode is a software thing that (supposedly) improves battery and I don’t think this should be a differencing feature!

It is one of the major selling points of the device that Sony is pushing it as such. for example when Apple brought out Siri on the 4s even though it is just software and the older devices are more than capable of running it Apple never pushed it to those devices because it was a major selling point. The same thing with s voice and the other ‘smart’ features like pop up play and smart stay on the s3. It is software that you will not find on the s2. I think Stamina Mode will be the same case here. It is something that has not been seen on any other phone.

I dont how about you guys,but for me white background in phone book,dialer and sms it is the worst,maybe there is option to change it!!!

Nah XDA won’t. Did you see any port of the power management thatwas there for the XP users? I so hope it happens but for now being pessimistic is the right thing.

I tried updating to JB and it failed now I am not able to start my phone.

Thanks for the Screenshots… Now I can’t wait anymore… C’mon SONY bring it to my TX…

i arrived in Oman too….yeaaa

can anyone upload a review for the phone with jellybean……………pleeeeeeeeeeease

i am well aware of it. my s3 has a power saving modes as well but it is not as extensive. neither of them can dramatically increase battery life like stamina mode claims to do which is why i said it has not been seen on any other phone

Sony Flashtool is for unlocked bootloader, use PCC if your BL is locked.

It is safe, flashing or even rooting your mobile (not unlocking bootloader) won’t void warranty. I took several time a mobile that was rooted or have been flashed to customer service without any problem.

Extended standby mode doesn’t kill backgroup apps like Stamina mode!

It’s not even close to be the same….

In Windows? I have PCC installed and also flashtool! And I ran some drivers package and intalled the TX driver, fastboot and falshsometing (can’t remember)

Anything missing?

I’m on Windows 8 x64…Is this the problem?

I also have a Mac with Mountain Lion? Should I try there? Is there any driver for Mac that I need to install?

I have the Xperia T! I installed th TX drivers just in case because there were no drivers for T in the package…

anyone loosing signal after the update? i have noticed it 4 – 5 times so far!

Denmark is updated to jb,m Experia V

Hi guys, i kinda got a problem, i updated my xperia t on low batterys 35% and now the battery is draining quickly please any1 ideas how to fix this?

Just wondering why Sony didn’t announced the JB update for xperia t in there official website?!

nope. not yet

How did you flash your phone? I have the Xperia T (LT30a) too, and I would love to flash it.

yeah but, the S/ T/ V were all a bit of a flagship at some point of time. so is sony terribly confused with their strategy ?

yep it has

just got the jb on my T. looks decent. gotta check out the features and how it works overall

when chile, peru and brazil receive this jelly bean update for unlocked xperia’s devices?

after upgrade not all app worked any help. the phone is 2x faster

I just updated last night and there is so many great new features including the camera which has had a major overhaul. Everything runs buttery smooth except when you use the weather widget. the wethaer widget seems to make the home screen judder and also battery life is worse

After the update my phone reverted from GSM only to WCDMA/GSM as a
default and hence would get lower signal and faster
battery drain. (But unlike ICS on ARC/ARC S the GSM only button is still
visible.)

is there any option for burst mode?

I can officially say my Xperia T is running 4.1.2 so far it seemed very smooth and very responsive… Will put it thru its pace and see in the coming days but… Camera BIGGGGGGGGGG improvement, was a lil disappointed I didn’t get to see the burst mode but all in all I’m very impressed with what Sony delivered…

there’s no update in Polnad :[

jb ram usage details plz..??

live in the south of Ireland got the new update on sony t wed 20 feb has improved my phone a lot camera so much better would be nice if sony gave the xperia 4.2.2 sometime in the future doe

I wouldn’t worry about it – I haven’t noticed any discernable difference at all, apart from an ugly white screen background (lots of complaints about that on the Sony forum), the camera is still rubbish, and the functionality is still poor (but I think that is just an android thing). In addition the battery goes down at a huge rate of knots. I can’t believe there has been so much hype about it.

4.2.2 doesn’t bring too much more to the T when it rolls out.. I’d rather wait for the next!
at least the 4.1.2 is out atm which does do its job!!

I am aware that the update isn’t great for everyone, and some people have had problems with it, but I get to see it every other day on my wife and son’s phone and quite like it. It does feel quicker, though I do hate the lack of consistency, with the white background after going black for ICS before.

Obviously, now 3 weeks on, still no upgrade! Might have something to do with my phone having been on T-Mobile (Everything Everywhere) before it was unlocked, could be their fault.

I have noticed no difference whatsoever except for the ugly interface. No quicker, no better camera, continued poor functionality. This phone is, to all intents and purposes, a brick.

After upgrading to jelly bean this morning, my Xperia T won’t charge

on ics my playnow app isn’t working is it okay on jb?

I’m from Malaysia,Penang. I have also received a new update for Xperia v . Is it ok to update ??
