[UPDATE] Android 4.0 Update for Sony [Ericsson] XPERIA Neo V MT11i

[XperiaNeoVSG]

Hi all

The Ice Cream Sandwich software update for 2011  Xperia™ Smartphones is NOT being rolled out. The update is released in batches, WHICH TAKE A H E L L OF A TIME, and  you will find links of your phone list of all the currently released ICS software.

We will TAKE ETERNITY  to continue to add items in the list as soon as they are released.

Yes SONY [Ericsson], PEOPLE are WAITING for THE UPDATE.

If this is how you treat the minor firmware update of 4.1.B.0.587 (For Neo/V and other 2011 XPERIAs)

I am predicting that the Android 4.1 update will take just as long, or even eternity. In fact, I am not surprised if you do not release Android 4.1 to XPERIAs.

Why SONY? WHY?

Please reflect. Other companies like NOKIA are suffering to develop new phones to save themselves, and they work very hard to acheive this.

Samsung is also another story, but I digress.

Why are you NOT working HARD to retain REGULAR CUSTOMERS like me and others globally?

Why are you focusing on PHONE DESIGN, ACCESSORIES, and TABLETS when the operating system is neglected?

Could Sony Ericsson be much, MUCH HARDWORKING than a merged Sony Mobile?

People (including Xperia Play owners) are VERY ANGRY AND DISAPPOINTED that you ignore the operating system.

HTC and Motorola are advancing to Android 4.1 already. They are also younger companies, without VANILLA ANDROID OS (Sense 4). HOW is it possible that they are BETTER than a long running, experienced Sony [Ericsson]?

Please take note, reflect and turn over a new leaf, before you lose EVEN MORE customers like me, who are on the verge on LEAVING SONY MOBILE.

If you still cannot find your SI number, just ignore Sony and follow this XDA thread to manually flash the latest firmware (4.1.B.0.587) into your Xperia Neo V.

If you read my last post again you can see why I'm here and what my purpose is. Of course I try to share all available info with you guys. And I know that you all are wondering when is ICS going to be available for my device. I understand you and that you want to know. The thing is that many software customizations are being used and all of the scripts needs approval from both Google and operators. And when a script gets approved it will make it to the SI list. We can therefore only communicate when a roll out of scripts begin and since there are many different customizations and local adaptations we're not able to look into the process for each and every script.

In short, I will unfortunately not be able to tell when a specific SI will get added to the list.

Nor can I comment on how other manufacturers run their operations.

Yes... I agree but as you said once the update is developed then you can tell that update is being rolled out from a particular date. But what is the need of the carrier approval for a sim-free phone which was bought in India??

Do you have a answer for this question as you are diverting the matter into the approvals??

[Johan]

If you read my last post again you can see that all scripts needs approval. Non locked or non branded phones doesn't need operator approval. If the script is ready, it still needs to be approved by Google also.

I'm not hiding nor diverting anything.

Johan,

When the buggy 4.0.3 was released, there was (a lot of) suspension. However, SI updates were quick.

The 4.0.4 update was just as quick.

How come this .587 update takes a long time, and the latest was on 4th Sept?

UPDATE:

And oh great, you viewed the Neo V update post and released SIs to .587, dated 9/4/2012 (4th Sept 2012). Thanks a lot by keeping us waiting.

Wait...

9/4/2012....

Are YOU trying to HIDE the FACT that YOU failed to RELEASE the next updates since that DAY?
