Jelly Bean OS Upgrade

Is the Tablet S scheduled to get Jelly Bean? If so, when?
Thx,

Is the Tablet S scheduled to get Jelly Bean? If so, when?
I sure hope the rumors are true about the Tablet S getting Android 4.1 before the end of August. Sony standing behind its product with one of the earliest releases of Android 4.0 was the number one reason I bought the tablet. (I didn't realize at the time how useful I'd find the infrared A/V controls.)
Here's what I found. This device is not getting any more support.
I know I'm just feeding the troll, but where did you find this out?
in fact, ice cream sandwich actually halved the playback of avi and .264 video.
My understanding is that the support didn't change, but the recommended bitrates were changed based on nVIDIA's suggestions. And not to say that better performance isn't appreciated, but ultra-high bitrates seem pretty pointless in most situations.
just for instance, on your android phone, tap a picture in your gallery and you can
upload to picasa
share via mms
share via email
more options
if you go to the tablet to share a pic you took, you have these options:
NONE
I have all of the standard sharing options with my gallery application (including Picasa, email, and all of the applications I have installed).
In fact, the only two issues I run into are the flicker (which I haven't seen since switching to Apex launcher) and the sleep of death (which I avoid simply by rebooting the tablet every three or four days).

  • Problems after Jelly Bean upgrade

    I upgraded to Jelly Bean when it came available and immediately started noticing problems.  The phone became sluggish in general but most notably the keyboard lagged to the point where texting became problematic.  I was unable to use the gallery app - it would open but pictures either wouldn't load or I couldn't scroll through them.  The camera app also wouldn't scroll through my pictures.  The web browser was sluggish even on a strong wi-fi connection.  I did a factory reset twice and lost a ton of information in the process, in hopes the reset would clear things up.  I ended up going to the store and the rep said he would have a new phone overnighted - which by the way, they gave me a used, sorry, a "certified like-new replacement" phone, not a new one.
    Now that I have my replacement I'm reluctant to upgrade this one to Jelly Bean if I'm going to continue having problems.  Are/were these just an isolated problem, perhaps something in the phone itself and not the software, or are these widespread issues that will hopefully be addressed?  I've read on forums all over that people are complaining of battery drain but I didn't have that issue, just the sluggishness and the inability to access my pics.

        Jbthompson, I know it can be upsetting when an update that should improve your phone's functionality causes it to have problems. I haven't seen the issues you experienced on most Galaxy S III's. Like TheGuyUpNorth stated, most issues are resolved with a factory reset. Do you know if any of your applications were automatically re-installed after the reset? Sometimes the cause of slowness can be related to applications that were compatible with the old OS no longer being compatible with the new one, or conflicting with each other. If you reset and then the same applications are re-installed, then the problem may arise again. Have you completed the JB update on your Galaxy S III replacement yet? Even if you defer or reject the software update, it may come again at a later date. You want to make sure you are ready to complete the update because if it alerts you in the middle of the night and you don't respond, it may go thru. If the battery isn't charged fully that could cause a problem with the update completing. Please let us know if you have any problems with the replacement and we'll be happy to help.

  • Jelly Bean Upgrade & Battery Life

    Not sure if Battery Life was part of the Jelly Bean upgrade or if I had something running that was killing my battery which has been killed by Jelly Bean, but in the 12 hours I have used this since I upgraded, I have noticed that my battery is still almost fully charged despite the increase in activity as I play around with the new OS.  I normally am limping at 10-15% battery life by this time of day and I still have 60%.  Woot!!! I hope today was not fluke and this continues.
    Anyone else notice the same thing?

        CJ, software updates are supposed to improve functionality of your phone, and I regret to see that you developed a problem with the update. How long has your battery been lasting after the update? How long did it last before? Please try out some of these battery saving tips as well: http://bit.ly/WFT5GG.

  • Jelly Bean upgrade failed.

    I got the Jelly Bean upgrade this morning but once I activated the upgrade it failed and gave no reason.  Where do I find the upgrade in order to try it again. Motorola Razr.

        leeder46, let's get a passing grade for the software update. First, I recommend that you delete any unwanted information from your phone to ensure that you have enough memory capacity to accept the software update. For example, uninstall unwanted applications, delete unwanted text message threads, e-mails, and call history. Once you have cleaned your device out, from the home screen, tap Applications > Settings > About phone. You should be provided with the options to update the software.

  • Jelly Bean Upgrade Issues

    Hello. After receiving the Jelly Bean upgrade, my Nexus will not longer connect to WiFi. It doesn't matter if I'm at home, work or out for the night. The toggle will go to "on", but will stay gray and then time out. Also, the OS doesn't seem to be as fast. Is anyone having similiar issues? Is there a fix for this?

        ClevBrowns1-
    I'm sorry the wifi is not working properly since the update. I am able to use wifi on my Nexus like always. If you enable safe mode (steps http://bit.ly/OHgHtf) then try to use wifi, is it still an issue? Please keep me posted.
    Thanks

  • Xperia T menu icons touch problem after Jelly Bean upgrade

    I have Xperia T upgraded to jelly bean 4.1.2 Build Number 9.1.A.0.489 kernel version 3.4.0-g5b052b2-00759-gd9ee069 - Mon Jan 14 15:29:55 2013
    After tap my menu icons in jelly bean there is no action. ex. Settings, Messages icon tap.
    After switch on developer options -> show layout bounds - it's shown that icons (blue square) are covering the touch area (pink square) and not pushing touch events to action areas, only bouncing but without action. When touching both blue and pink area with finger icons works fine, with touching only blue areas no action. Every other touch are ok.
    Is it common issue ?
    Thanks.

    I think this only happens when you enable that under development options. Have you tried to turn that off and check if this still remains?

  • Gallery taking 50% battery after Jelly Bean Upgrade

    Has anyone else experienced the Gallery taking up about 50% CPU after the Jelly Bean Upgrade?  Any solutions?
    My phone dies in half the amount of time now.

    I also noticed significantly increased battery drain after the update. I switched my Network to CDMA/LTE also, but I think the real killer was a couple of other settings that the update (re)enabled that I had turned off; the SmartStay option in the Display settings, and the option in S-Voice settings where it continuously monitors the microphone, waiting for you to say the 'magic wake-up command', that one even says it will drain your battery! With all that stuff on, my battery usage list would show "Screen" as the top item, and that was with the phone sitting untouched in sleep mode for several hours! I also found a couple of the "location update" related settings turned on that I was pretty sure I had disabled. I'm not sure which of those made the most difference (I suspect it was the S-Voice thing), but after putting all that back to way I had it, my battery usage is back to normal.
    Many people in the DroidForums discussions are saying they had to do a FDR to fix this, but I suspect all that is really accomplishing is turning off all those battery-eating settings that the update (re)enabled. If anyone is still having issues after switching off the Global radio setting, I'd try the stuff I mentioned first, and if you still see battery drain with your settings back to pre-update values, maybe try the factory data reset.

  • Jelly Bean Xperia T Upgrade Issues

    I upgraded my Xperia T to Jelly Bean yesterday and have now found that the flashlight app and the flash/torch on the camera app no longer function, anyone else had this issue and how do I resolve this??

    Haven't heard about this before actually. Have you tried just repairing the software or perform a reset after the update?

  • Jelly Bean upgrade for AT300 3G model

    Hi. I read an old thread (1 month ago) that JB has not been rolled out to AT300 with 3G due to some modem driver issue. Does anyone know when will this be fixed and when JB update will come for 3G model?.

    Dear mates,
    Stuck with the same issue like the most of you - 3G version AT300-105 with "smashing" 4.0.3 Android on it and with no apparent update in sight.
    I am really disappointed with this as I need this device for work and to make matters worse, some of Android features I need are full of bugs on this version.
    This is a expensive 650 euro tablet from a well-branded manufacturer, not some 80 euro low-end from an unknown manufacturer and I believe the former ones receive better support than we do. For this amount of money I could have purchase just about anything else. too bad I got suckered in for full SD card slot.
    I read most of your posts and I am insulted by the "3G driver issue" which was stated . As a customer I could not care less about this excuse. It is Toshiba's hardware, their engineers chose it, and they should deal with it. Just to remind dear friends in Toshiba that there were three major Android updates since their initial release for this tablet:
    Android 4.1 Jelly Bean (API level 16)
    Android 4.2 Jelly Bean (API level 17)
    Android 4.3 Jelly Bean (API level 18)
    Android 4.4 KitKat (API level 19)
    They had four releases after the initial one to fix the modem issue and I sincerely doubt they even bothered to try.
    If they really cared they could have gone with issuing the newer release without modem drivers with warning for customers and possibility to roll back if wanted, but no, it is easier to use such petty excuse and do nothing. Shameful and disrespectful to buyers. If they don't do anything positive, which I doubt as I have this product for over a year and nothing was done, this will probably be the last thing I ever got from this company.

  • Android 4.1 Jelly Bean - UPGRADE (15$ ?)

    Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is faster than Android  4.0 thanks to something Google calls "Project Butter" which involves a few enhancements like VSync and Triple Buffering.  The Sony Xperia 2011 phones suffer from lagginess after update to Android 4.0 so maybe an update to Android 4.1 can resolve this problem.
    The chances that Jelly Bean will ever get on 2011 Xperia phones are very smal!
    Updating last year phones wiht the latest software is resource demading and this is why i think the solution for this issue is to buy the update
    WOULD YOU PAY SONY 15$ FOR THE Jelly Bean UPDATE FOR YOUR 2011 XPERIA PHONE?
    (maybe buy the update from the Android Market like any other software)

    How wether we will update our 2011 armada of phones with Jelly Bean is for now for the future to tell.
    I'd recommend you to keep posted on the product blog on the link below.

  • Jelly Bean - Email AutoSync No Longer Works

    I am at Android 4.1.1 (Jelly Bean) on my stock Samsung Galaxy S3.  Since the Jelly Bean upgrade, my e-mail will MANUALLY sync e-mails, but will no longer AUTOMATICALLY sync e-mails per the Peak/Off-Peak schedule for any of my e-mail accounts except for my Exchange account.  I have tried:
    Adjusting the Peak/Off-Peak schedules to several different times / schedules.
    Changing the period to synch from 1 Month or 100 e-mails to 1 month.
    Accessing the Email app via the Applications interface and clearing all data.Step above obviously necessitated re-entering all e-mail accounts.
    I have confirmed that Settings>Email(under Accounts Header) shows a green synch icon beside all four of my non Exchange accounts.
    I've been messing with this for a number of days now and I'm hitting a wall.  This is not a menu-based configuration issue as far as I can tell AND it worked fine under ICS. 
    In case someone wants the information to diagnose, the non-exchange Accounts:
    2 x @bellsouth.net (associated with my AT&T service, but hosted by yahoo.com service).
    1 x @yahoo.com
    1 x @gmail.com
    My settings for synchronization (for all four accounts):
    All days selected.
    Peak schedule: Every Hour
    Off-peak Schedule: Never
    Peak start @ 7:00 AM
    Peak end @ 10:00 PM
    While Roaming: Use Above Settings. 
    Any suggestions?  (Other than the usual default "Have you tried a factory reset" that would require me to spend a day trying to get everything set back up and is basically a support tree "I can't figure it out easily so let's make your life harder because I can't be bothered" type of solution.)

    Mine started @ JB, but in trying to research the problem on my own - I can confirm your observation that people are reporting sync issues across multiple platforms / e-mail providers.  What is weird about it is that on irregular occasions, one of my accounts will actually "sync."  As an example since I wrote the original post - I did get  notification of new emails in one of my accounts - I have purposely not been manually checking my accounts to see what is happening.  Interestingly, When I look at Settings>Email, it shows all of my accounts having been sync'd at 10:00 AM.  So what does that mean?  Sync is partially working, but not consistently (e-mails from across 4 hours came in when it is set to sync hourly) and even within the phone the sync status isn't being displayed correctly.  Something is clearly fubar'd I just don't know what.  (thanks for the advice though)

  • Can't find Firefox Android menu button in Jelly Bean

    I always keep Firefox for Android current to the latest version, but since I upgraded my Android to Jelly Bean 4.1.2 in a Samsung Galaxy S2, I now cannot find the Menu button for Firefox anywhere. I am trying to bookmark a page and your instructions say to press on the Menu button and then on the Star button, but though I've done that in the past in ICS, those buttons apparently do not exist for me now.
    Your pictures on the Web show a bar at the bottom of the screen with a Menu icon, as well as a popup menu that shows the Bookmark Star as one of the Menu options. I don't have a Menu icon or any other icons at the bottom of my screen. I have the phone's physical Back button on the lower right below the screen and the <phone's> physical Menu button on the lower left below the screen, but when I tap the <phone's> Menu button while I have a page showing in FF, all I get is a long menu of choices beginning with Share, Find in Page, Request Desktop Site, Tools, etc. There are no choices that give me a Star with which to bookmark a page.
    Please advise how I can find the Bookmark Star or change the Settings to make it reappear.
    Thank you.

    Hi, Swarnava,
    Thank you for your prompt response. Unfortunately, however, the "3 dot" icon you outlined in red at the upper right of the FF screen in the screenshot link you sent simply does not exist on my screen. If it did, I would long ago have tried it and all would be well.
    Using your image as an example, the "3" that indicates the 3 open tabs is all the way to the far right on my screen, under the time ("5:19"), and the white Search bar (which in your image shows "Add-ons") is wider, taking up all the space to the left of the "3." That "3 dot" icon for the menu just isn't there (or anywhere else that I can find). That's why I'm going crazy trying to figure out how to get into the menu.
    I really appreciate your response and hope that you or someone can come up with a way to make my FF menu key reappear. If no other solution is available, I guess I'll have to uninstall FF, then reinstall it and hope for the best.
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Possible update solution for some Jelly Bean issues on Razr Maxx

    I bought a Razr Maxx used two weeks ago and wanted to a post a possible solution to the broken Jelly Bean update. My Razr Maxx (practically new) was slow, lagged, and gave me about 10 hours of battery life. Also, my Wi-Fi was horrible just 10 feet from the wireless router and it ran hot.
    Before I chucked it for a used S3 I decided to do what others had done. Keep in mind, the phone had been previously factory reset after the JB update had been OTA'ed to the unit a few months ago. It was put in a drawer as the person bought a new phone.
    So to be clear: It had gone through a factory reset but without clearing internal memory and had serious issues. I had cleared the Dalvik cache but it didn't help. Here's what fixed my phone:
    I did a battery recalibration. This can be done by running the phone down to zero. Shutting it off and charging it overnight. This may have to be performed twice.
    Backed up my files, removed the mSD card and from the OS, erased the internal storage. I also went into the Settings / Privacy and set Automatic Restore to off.
    I cleared the Dalvik Cache again.
    http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-razr-maxx/232462-how-wipe-cache-without-doing-factory-reset.html
    I  booted into safe mode.
    http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=50079
    From the OS within safe mode, I performed a factory reset and had it clear the internal storage again.
    Started the setup process.
    Cleared Dalvik Cache again.
    The result is a smooth "buttery" feel (well, as smooth as this platform can offer) no massive lagging like before where the phone would just lock up for five seconds, no over heating, WiFi is seemingly normal and battery life is Maxx instead of Min. To give you an idea, the phone had been on light use and on for maybe 13 on battery when I did the reset. I did the hard reset from a 65% battery and reinstalled all the apps over WiFi and reconfigured. At 2:30 a.m. it was at 1 percent so I set the screen to 100% brightness and played a video until it died about 3 a.m. Basically the screen was on and the phone being used from around 9 p.m. until 3 a.m. after coming off the charger at 8 a.m. the previous morning.
    Will this work for you? I don't know but I know the Jelly Bean in place upgrade on this phone is pretty flaky from the complaints.
    If your phone has been turned into a pile of junk by the update, you have nothing left to lose unless you're just using it as a bargaining chit to get a new phone from VZW.
    Good luck to anyone who tries it.
    If you are trying to diagnose battery issues, I recommend GSAM.

  • How do I go back to Jelly Bean?

    I updated to Kit Kat and had the dreaded battery issue. I did a factory reset to go back to Jelly Bean and it did not, it installed Kit Kat again. I had high hopes that the 'fresh' install would fix my battery problem, it did not.
    On Jelly Bean I would take it off charge at 4 AM and be at 40 to 50% remaining at the end of the day 9 - 10 PM. Now, I recharge it around noon.
    I want Jelly Bean back... how do I get it back?

    I have heard that, but was hopeful Verizon would step up and have another plan. With all the issues, Verizon should give this as an option. 
    Why is it that when upgrading to KK, it takes out the original OS. None of the others upgrades did that. I reset one phone that was running ICS and it went back to Ginger Bread.
    As far as I know since 2009 and the first Android device on Verizon Wireless, you have never been able to officially revert the OS version to the previous version. Same goes true for other android devices on other carriers and wifi only devices.
