Sony says 2011 Xperia phones might get Android 4.1 Jelly Bean

Hi! looks like not all is lost!
http://www.theinquirer.net/inquirer/news/2195619/sony-says-2011-xperia-phones-might-get-android-41-j...

The information has been confirmed on the product blog (http://blogs.sonymobile.com/products/2012/07/31/on-android-4-1-jelly-bean/).
At least, it shows that Sony has not let their customers and older products down, contrary to what is said by some angry and impatient customers. Yes, software development takes time, and Sony may have been a little fast to release its ICS for every phones. But this news proves that Sony is looking into every possibility to improve its users experience.
I heartily hope that my neo v will get Jelly Bean and its new functions, with improved performances compared to ICS. So thank you Sony for considering it.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Are all phones losing Panorama Swipe Photos with Jelly Bean

    I am trying to decide whether to accept the update to Jelly Bean and do not want to loose a specified feature that my phone has which is swipe panorama photos (2D and 3D).
    Thanks,

    As far as I know only 3D panorama option is missing. You still should be able to take ordinary panorama pictures.

  • Downloading phone book problem after "Jelly Bean" update

    I own a 2011 Mitsubishi Outlander GT with Bluetooth (labeled as Link System) and a Motorola Droid RAZR. The vehicle has always recognized the phone as paired. Prior to "Jelly Bean", I had no problems downloading the entire phone book to the Bluetooth device in the vehicle. However, I had noticed on a recent trip that several new contacts were not recognized by the Link system. I realized that I needed to update the phonebook. I first deleted the old phone book from the vehicle, but I was then unable to download the new phone book to the vehicle. I tried several times but with no success. An additional Bluetooth symbol would appear to the left at the top of the phone display with the message "PBap connection request". The message would disappear after a second. But several seconds later, the upper left-hand Bluetooth symbol would also disappear, and the vehicle Bluetooth device would then inform me that the phone book download had failed. I contacted Verizon tech support last week, and the rep and I concluded that the Jelly Bean update was the problem, but she was unable to fix it. I also noticed elsewhere on the Verizon web site that several other people with different vehicles were also unable to download the phonebook from their Android phone to their vehicle's Bluetooth device.
    I then realized that perhaps the Jelly Bean update had changed only how the Bluetooth on the phone interacted with the Bluetooth/Link system on the vehicle. I concluded that I needed to delete not just the old phone book from the vehicle's Bluetooth device, but also the pairing/recognition of the phone itself from the vehicle's Bluetooth device. I then reinstalled pairing/recognition of the Droid RAZR on the vehicle's Bluetooth device, and successfully downloaded the phone book from the RAZR to the Bluetooth device on the vehicle. This action should fix the problem on other vehicles as well.

        Jandariea, I understand how frustrating this could be. You would think a software update would be fully baked and basic functions like Wifi would work. However, this is not the case with all Jelly Bean software updates. You sound more like the exception then the rule! Have you tried to disable/enable airplane mode? Does this issue only happen with your home wifi, or can you connect to a public Wifi (i.e. library or Starbucks)? Have you tried to do a master reset on the phone http://bit.ly/T1Ib1B ?^SP

    Finally. If these are not available for sony ericsson mobiles . Please do give us those features as an separate update.
    Thanks
    Lokesh.

    Hello lokeshkumarn
    You are right, unfortunately some apps are made available only for certain models, also some carriers may request some apps to be included or be left out of their custom firmware.
    Most of the additional widgets and apps are available in the Play store for you to download.

  • I get an email every time I sign on Find My iPhone saying a new phone signed on with my ID.

    Why do I get an email saying a new phone signed onto Find My iPhone every time I sign on now?  This began happening with iOS 8, and I suspect it has to do with the MAC address spoofing supposedly done for security, which causes some problems, especially for people who control their wireless access via MAC addresses.  Any way to turn that OFF????

    Doesn't relate to ios8 - because it started for me a few days ago also and i was still on ios7. in fact i upgraded to ios8 hoping that might stop it. The icloud settings page now says devices only will show up as managed devices if they are running ios8 or OS X Yosemite. so i upgraded hoping that would mean they would stop sending the messages. it didn't.
    This is ridiculous - it says and thinks it is a new device every time i sign in.
    They need to do something about this - currently i am applying an email filter for that subject to delete them automatically.

  • My texts say they are sent to an android phone, but the android does not receive them for hours, or even at all.

    So, recently my texts are not being received by an android phone. It says they are sent on my phone, but the android phone does not get them for hours or even at all. When they do come through, they come in random order. It is really aggravating and I do not know how to fix it at all. I have reset my phone multiple, updated it, I have tried everything. Any thoughts?

    Contact your carrier. There are no settings on the iPhone regarding SMS. SMS is a carrier function. Have the carrier check to make sure that your account is provisioned correctly.

    - Try restoring the iPod, first from backup and then try to factory settings/new iPod to rule out a software problem.
    - Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and broken or cracked plastic.
    - Could you have damaged something when you took the iPod apart and replaced the Home button?
