Meh, by this time I'll buy One X or LG Nexus, something with Android 4.1/4.2. SXS is good phone, but Nexus 4 tempts me more

There is no info that Sony is releasing update in may, maybe only SFR branded version will be avaible then. There is no need to make false sensation.
@down: Ok, but title can be easly misunderstooded.

I'm far from making any false sensations. Maybe only branded version comes in may, maybe not. We'll see.

Enough with these rumors, it'll come when it'll come. Otherwise it's setting people up for disappointments.

It is not confirmed that Xperia s jellybean update will come to everyone in may,for example the galaxy note is updated in some countries but according to this carrier the jb update for galaxy note is expected to release in may

Please take closer look on the table with Sony...
Xperia S 6.1.A.2.45 - v. 17 Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean)
6.1.a.2.45 is ICS!!
WE CANNOT BE SURE THERE IS MISMATCH WITH SW VERSION OR ANDROID VERSION!
This is useless in my opinion...

I guess that is software version of current sw and that is planned to upgrade to JB in week 17. I bought phone in Sweden and 6.1.A.2.45 is latest software for that country.

I really do like Sony products (my Xperia S will be a solid phone for a few years atleast), but the way Sony is releasing updates to our phone is just sad. It's not like Samsung which has gazillions of phones and i would image they'd have some problems in releasing updates in time for all their models.
Good thing that community is ahead and has a lot of 4.1 ROMs and a few based on 4.2. +1 for xda devs :victory:

Another speculation/rumor thread? With all due respect this is ridiculous. An admin clearly stated that these (future) threads are to be locked

Well, since i know Swedish, and you obviously don't, I know that 6.1.a.2.45 is listed as current software...

New Xperia S update coming in the form of 6.2.B.1.XX

Good news
Back in June, we reported of a new Sony Xperia S (LT26i) firmware update that was rumoured to arrive in early July. Well obviously that did not come to pass, but apparently a new update is still on the agenda for Xperia S/SL owners. Sony pretty much confirmed as much on the official support forums, saying that it will have build version number 6.2.B.1.XX. There’s no ETA for the update, but we’ll keep our eyes peeled.

Don't thank me. It's because of amount of death threats I sent to their dev department and sophisticated insults to their support policy I posted on their facebook page.

Sure they will...most of Xperia S users only think that Sony will only fix the problems in their phone (Xperia S) only because they (Sony) did reply and respond inside SXS forum...talk about typical Xperia S user that think of their own importance and forget about the others (Xperia SL,Acro S and ion)...
Sorry if my message is kind of a little rage message...I'm quite mad because some SXS user only think about only their phone's problem will be fixed

We'll see

This update will well be the last update we are gonna be receiving.. Since Qualcomm have stopped work for S3 chipset devices.. We won't be getting official 4.2.2.. Same case like HTC One S.. Sad that Qualcomm too rejecting the good handsets.. Damn these companies..!!!!

You have to think about something. If Xperia S won't get updated, what are the chances to update Acro S, sl or ion? Zero.

Thanks for understanding.
And yes, this is keeping me away from flashing PROPER Custom ROMs, which means that some people (incl. me) will have to stick to 4.1.2 forever...
Envoyé depuis mon ONDA MID en utilisant Tapatalk 4 Beta

I actually prefer 4.1 ROMs on xs coz they're much more stable compared to 4.2. I have had battery issues with 4.2 ROMs on xs. Hope Sony release a faster, more stable and more efficient 4.1 rather than 4.2. Lets not forget xs runs on over 2 year old cpu.

[OT]My Wildfire S runs with CM10.1 nearly better than with Stock 2.3.5. But let's not forget it has a CPU that was already 2-3 years old when it was released (ARMv6 generation). [/OT]
Just saying...

But bro, if they give an update to 4.2.2, custom roms will obviously come good.. Atleast if they release sources, that would help devs to build a stable one soon.. But they don't.. And obviously i would choose custom rom over stock anytime.. And what XSP ROM(ported HTC) are u talkin bout bro??

New ROM for Xperia Z series

Sony says new update rolling to Xperia Z series; brings numerous bug fixes
Sony Mobile has just tweeted that a new Android 4.2.2 firmware update is rolling out to the Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR and Xperia Tablet Z. They have said the update brings “display, camera, battery fixes & performance tweaks“. No more information has been given, although we expect this to be firmware build number 10.3.1.A.2.67 that recently started to hit Xperia ZR handsets.

Where can i find the SI number? This is the proof, PC companion says me about the update but the updating app of the smartphone doesn't show anything, ,i am in the .244 build, i'm not sure about upgrating, should i wait for the root? (check the atachments, it is in spanish but i can trust you understood the message, doesn't you?)

Is a new update 10.3.1.A.2.74 coming?

It seems like a new update is coming to XZ. It may land on ZL as well in few days. It seems like a very minor update.

Xperia blog mentioned the update listed on ptcrb . i checked myself for ZL but its not listed for ZL so i dont think it will come to ZL...also .307 update was skipped for ZL and directly 4.2.2 as seeded for ZL before Z...m crossing my fingers for 4.3 for ZL incase sony repeats history....

Hope so, buddy.

thanks man,:good:
its about time for an update. i hope we get a stable build.

it is just the update to 8.0.anything right?

And then gotta wait for OTA update or new root method.... so make it + 2 weeks

Agree with "DoubleYouPee" reply..
first waiting for 4.3 update . then wait for root method

On theory, there should be a way to inject root into a modified update file...

Agreed. My ZL is in for repair, oddly enough, but are we even sure that they don't mean TrackID is up to version 4.3? It's kinda worded that way in the app store screen-shot posted above.
I can't check, but seem to remember it hovering around v3.8 a few months back.
Sony's been ambiguous about their upgrade path lately. It used to run through 4.3, but now with 4.4 I'm not clear on the schedules...

Could be someone had that pointed out to them... based on stuff I've seen in other forum's, I wouldn't be too surprised if the different manufacturer's had someone reading xda...

Fingers crossed for the sturdy update without any bugs....bitting my ZL...and no update for Walkman is a lame move...or maybe direct update...

is 4.3 out by seeing this pic???
