[Q] Official JB on TL coming? - Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V

I have noticed all the news today about the alpha release of JB for the Xperia T.
Is the TL eventually going to get an official upgrade to JB from Sony as well, or just the T?
Thanks!

Of course, T, TX, TL, and V will all get an official JB.

Thanks for the reply. Glad to hear it. I just got the TL a few days ago.
Sorry for another noob question, but has Sony announced any ETA for those updates? I'm assuming it's just "when it's done," but I thought i'd ask.

Q1 2013 So sometime between now and the end of march. But that is if they keep to their deadline, and they dont have to do that.

*Here's hoping to a February release of JB for us TL owners!*

Thanks a lot for the info! This is the first Android phone I've had that I liked enough "stock" to not really feel the need, or even want, to root and play with. I think Sony did an excellent job. And typically I hate sony....go figure.

I rooted only because I wanted to remove all the AT&T apps that I neither want nor need. Other than that and the Xperia Z lock screen I loaded, I kept everything as-is. Well, no, actually I use Nova Launcher, but you know what I mean...no crazy ROMS...

Tx. V. T. Tl Android 5.0

Since Sony been releasing alot of devices and we still in begning of 2013 do you think that we going to be dropped like 2011 series or be delayed this long as xperia s users? Any idea or info for me im tottaly sure that our series was a flop for Sony uz they releasing a midrange series just few months after our series i dunno i just wanted a stable jellybean not buggy ics like what happened with last year flagship

Well maybe Sony is planning a 5.0 release but is not saying anything for now.
We have good CPU and 1GB of RAM. We don't have 4 cores and 2GB. SGS III has 4 cores and 1GB RAM too and it will be updated to 5.0.
Samsung announced 5.0 for some of its Galaxy devices. Some of them will stay at 4.2.2 and some of them will be updated to 5.0 for sure.
We have to wait. Some of us just received 4.1.2 and it's still full of bugs and glitches. Let Sony fix these problems first and then think about the possibility of receiving the update to next version.
I am not sure what you mean by v5.0

I'm saying this is too far fetched. We would never officially get 5.0. Sony if famous for releasing devices with outdated firmware. I mean the Z was released with 4.1 and still hasn't got 4.2. the GS3 got it on Feb. AFAIK
And currently that is their flagship. Not us
Also you can't blame Sony for their delayed releases because their firmware is so far away from pure AOSP. They do put a lot of work and themeing into it.
I hate those people proclaiming like Sony's CEO, that "Xperia T will never get Android 5.0" etc. This kind of bullcrap, one sided, motion, is pure nonsense and childish. Those people must be removed and banned from XDA.
And the Galaxy S3 did not receive the 4.2 update. Do not spread rumours to gain personal fame.

My sincere apologies for the s3 4.2 thing. My mistake. Regardless the Nexus 4 came out last November with 4.2. BUT sony released Z a month ago with only 4.1
And as for your other bull****. Try and get me banned will you? I am only being realistic. One sided? Buddy even I have Xperia T, so I'd love an update too

Sony Xperia T And Xperia TX Gets New Firmware This April

There is nothing quite like having decent hardware run on the latest version of software, where the latter would be useful in squeezing out every possible ounce of performance from the former. Well, having said that, we bring you word that there is new firmware (9.1.A.1.138) which has been certified for the Sony Xperia T (also known as the LT30p) and the Xperia TX (aka LT29i). Sony Mobile claims that this update for both devices is set to arrive from April onwards, although I am quite sure that the pegged April 1st date is not an attempt to pull a fast one on consumers.
This new firmware will also see the introduction of Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean to the Sony Xperia TX, as owners of this particular smartphone model were said to have been waiting for far too long for some Jelly Bean goodness. Apart from that, it is said that the update will bring along with it a fix for the problem that users have suffered from when running the Walkman app on Jelly Bean firmware. All’s well that ends well, no?
I don't agree. With Android 5 just three months away, we still have no date and no news about JB 4.2...

Google hasn't even released details of Android 5.0, how do you expect the manufacturers to comment on something that hasn't completed development.
There's going to be so much hate from the other TX users, especially some "I TOLD YOU SO!" replies.
Sigh***...I just hope this will fix the OTHER Walkman bug, where music stops playing completely while browsing on the internet

While browsing, the music player quits and it seems like a reset since it looses which track it was playing.

(they seem not to be able to replicate the issue..which happens most of the time anywayz)
i really regret buying the tx though i like it too much.the update is very frustrating.i should have opted for the xperia z instead.:fingers-crossed:

We would never officially get 5.0. Period. And 4.2.2 IS a big update as there are many things that aren't available in 4.1 and considering Sony, they need to fix the Walkman bug and sound quality and sound level. 5.0 is too far away. There won't be a 5.0 device around until the end of the year (I presume).

Also Nexus would always be the first to get a new firmware. Doesn't mean we would. Unless.. Sony decides to release their own Nexus!

I read about a fix for this if your 'phone is rooted, using an app like root app delete, remove/disable smart connect and apparently the pause bug is removed in walkman.

Actually, they should still be the same problems that my TX is having. Maybe I'll give that a shot, load some songs, and run it. If it still doesn't work, I'll just continue using my Walkman Z :good:
Well after I thoughts about the awesomeness of the Sony company I something to say:
Jelly Bean was released almost TWO MONTHS AGO. For two months we, The Users, have to deal with many issues connected with crappy (yes, it's crappy) Jelly Bean released for T. Many problems experienced by many users are piling up on Q&A. This is pathetic. Walkman bug is not even fixed for now and will be fixed on week 14. Two months of waiting for the bug to be fixed. Xperia Z got its "Sudden Death" problem fixed in a couple of days and besides it already got a couple of updates since the release. Our phones - Xperia T, TX, TL and V are not even 6 months old and it looks like Sony downed the support to a minimum. I feel like I was kicked in the butt by them and their support is like "Look, people... we will release a couple of fixes but then just shut the hell up and buy our new phones! Yay!"
Take a look at Samsung. They claimed that many of their phones will receive 4.2 and then the support for better Android versions will stop. SGSII - two-years-old phone will be updated to 4.2.2! This is something amazing.
Eh. I've never thought Sony would piss me off so much. I thought it will never happen. But I see that the more Xperias come, the less they're supported. We don't even know if our T's and V's will be ever updated to 4.2. I guess Sony will just say "These phones don't have enough RAM" just like they said about 2011 phones and theirs 4.1. Hey, Sony! Xperia J has also 512 RAM and it's enough for the Jelly Bean to be released but for another 512MB's is not?! (Remember that all of 2011's have even more powerful CPUs than the J's)
Pa-the-tic.
Anyways I'm still happy of my T but the support is really screwed up...

Agree with you entirely! This why I kept saying Official KeyLimePie is a dream. They just keep releasing new devices until they overwhelm the market and the current owners feel like their devices are old. Flagship or not, this is what happens. Some people got really pissed off with me too in the other thread
Samsung doesn't support developers like Sony does, but at least they are generous enough to upgrade the firmware.
Damn im so sad now hopefully sony can change its ways! One of us xda people have to get hired as like lead software dudes and change them lol

mhh okay we have the walkman bug (I don't but others have), I can't find many other issues (nothing), I had a s3 and they released many updates for jb in a row but not because they are more userfriendly, it was because each new version had to fix some new bugs and they were much more annoying.
also jb on the s3 is more laggy than on xperia t, believe me. you can always say "why do contacts not instantly open on my t" but with an s3 you can be happy when they are open under 5 seconds and this on a Quadcore phone ...
who knows if we get 4.2 officially, even if not the port will be faster and more bug free than the official 4.2 from Samsung, I'm sure. but you are right, we have to get official 4.2 because we have bought an expensive flagship device.

Unless you got the Korean variant, you must be having the 1GB Ram variant of the GS3. JB is laggy on GS3 because of TouchWiz. Use a custom ROM and its all good. Touchwiz is such a Ram hogger.
And we definitely would get 4.2! Otherwise it's just ridiculous.. I'll burn Sony down! Its the next increment im afraid of. Also remember GS3 has many more inbuilt features than our T (software wise) such as multiwindow, so it tends to be slower. I'm not saying its better though. We got smallapps

Good News! There Is A Possibility Of Directly Getting Android 4.3

Sony Just Announced Their Roadmap For 4.3 Upgrade Plan, Though It's Not The Final List...
As Expected, Xperia Z, ZR, And SP Are On The List...
But The Most Exciting Part For Us (T, TX, V Users) Is Here:
"We’re also looking at uplifting some of our other devices running 4.1 direct to 4.3 – we’ll share more info / deets / timings when we can, so be sure to follow @sonymobileNews for all the latest."

The Nexus 4 was no where to buy in the Netherlands at that time i bought the Xperia T (bought in the week of the release).
Still hoping for a good working version of cm10.1 / 2 for the T but got a feeling that's not gonna happen.
So hopefully next year there's a new nexus phone that i can buy in the Netherlands/

totally agree, they are gonna make the same mistake
but, honestly, you wouldn't see A BIT of lag when you play iOS games, but here in android, FORCE CLOSE is the least thing which you would expect!
i'm not a noob, actually not THAT noob, but android is nowhere compared to the STANDARD of iOS...
anyway, tastes are different, maybe for some android is the best....
and i have to admit that currently i have just an android phone
The only thing that keeps me on Android is the app Poweramp. As far as I've noted there's none like it on IOS. I'm not sure if the developer will do one for IOS. If so, i'll move asap.

Although I appreciate the need for the latest, maybe this is best for a boatloads unlock. You can still put 4.4 on just not stock... Now a bootloader unlock would ve handy
Welp...it looks like tx and v users won't be able to participate...
I kid, I kid

Can you at least wait until Sony say something? What's the big rush?

Exactly!!!! What's the BIg rush? There are chances that it will be updated to 4.4. This is because it's being looked into as shown on the device's page. You are rather going to piss the Sony devs up. Patience is a great virtue one must learn to exercise.
Yea! I don't understand why are so despered to receive 4.4 when we haven't even received 4.3.

Look, it is not about the rush, it's about showing Sony that there are a lot of people that would love to see it happen. See it as a support for the devs hard work. And better now than after they say "No 4.4 for the Xperia T" cause once a case is closed, it stays closed.
See it as support guys.
i think its best no one signs that petition. Put yourself in Sony's shoes. They are preparing updates and pushing updates to lots of devices within a few months. We are all anxious and getting tired of waiting but a petition for 4.4 when its already being looked into is a bit childish and unnecessary. its jeopardizing things for us. Would have been better if it was a petition to AT&T for bootloader unlock.
Keep Calm and Wait for KitKat
Why would Sony want to release yet another Android update after 4.3 for the Xperia T? The phone is over a year old now and Sony are pushing their Z range, so they're not going to put any development work into anything but bug fixes really.
What would be the benefit to them as a business? Answer probably very little if any.
I've been hearing the same demands on here since the X10i was released! The fact of the matter its unlikely most handsets will see more than 2 releases of Android.

Cause Sony Just Released One Update for this series (4.1)
I Think at least it Should Release 3 big Update For These Phones same as SP

The benefit of releasing new versions of Android is getting users happy. Why people buy a nexus device? Mostly because that device is going to have guaranteed updates for at least 18 months.
If Sony (put here any other brand) would have a similar update policy many users will think on buying a Sony device, so Sony would sell more devices and have more profit.

Selling more doesn't mean more profit. Developing an update is very time consuming as we've seen and with that it will also cost Sony a lot of money. If it is even profitable to update the T to kitkat I doubt it would be noteworthy.
I would love to see 4.4 on the T because I have to go another year with this phone but I would understand Sony if they don't update our phones.

[Q] Is there any news on a Xperia SP SONY kitkat 4.4 rom?

Hi guys,
I would like to ask if there is any new Xperia SP rom featuring Sony's apps, framework, theme, etc (Like xperia z2/3 stock rom) and running on Kitkat 4.4.4?
I'm really sad that there aren't many developers anymore who want to create this I'm sick of 4.3
Anyway thanks for reading!
My friend have LG G2 and use Cloudy G3, ported G3 rom with all features from G3....Does it have way to port Xperia M2/E1/E3 or Z series 4.4 for SP with all features
that would be great, but i think our device isn't that popular and there are no many devs interested to do this...

That would be amazing...It's a shame though, because our device is really capable of running Kitkat :/

Of course it is capable... But sony gives us semy-finished android 4.3, i would be more than happy if we have good android 4.3, but we havn't... There are a lot worse phones that are runing stock 4.4.4...
I have never flashed so many roms on one phone and still no good rom with normal ram management and without home redraw...
Now i give up and go on official cyanogenmod and hopes for best...
I think cyanogenmod is last station until i got money for nexus 5 or something similar... ☺
Little off topic but i must say all that...
Sorry for my bad english...
Edit: one more thing...if our developers knew that there will not be an official kit kat maybe they would do more to port stock 4.4.4...we al waited for official and when our device get old SONY decided that we ar not capable... Uh...

I couldn't say it better myself! I love Sony but when I heard of abandoned Kitkat update, it felt like a knife in my back... The reason I'm not going for Cm 11 (or 12) is that I'm really used to sony's interface and apps :/ So it's kind of a bummer that we have to stick witch (good) 4.3 roms...
There should be a way to get people more attracted making SP roms...
And cool! Love the nexuses!

To be pretty honest I am looking forward to develop a ROM for SP, but I can't seem to find the right resources to learn and start
