UPDATE:
New TX firmware
http://www.ptcrb.com/vendor/complete/view_complete_request_guest.cfm?modelid=22200
http://blogs.sonymobile.com/2013/02...bean-android-4-1-for-2012-xperia-smartphones/
Hello everyone,
As planned, this week we’re starting the software rollout for our first batch of Xperia smartphones Xperia T and Xperia V*, with Xperia TX following next month.
The new software brings Android 4.1 “Jelly Bean”, along with a number of different and improved Sony features – the rollout will continue to ramp up over this month and next.
We’ve been working to blend our Sony Xperia software with Google’s Jelly Bean release to create optimum user experiences – some of the cool functionality you can look forward to includes:
Updated, more intuitive versions of Sony Media apps: WALKMAN, Album and Movies
A slick, easy-on-the-eye library that lets you view and access all your snaps, videos and tunes in one place – not to mention the signature Sony audio and imaging tech that makes your content stand (and shout) out!
Increased options for personalization
A revamped homescreen experience for handling widgets, apps and shortcuts… With up to 7 desktop panes, widgets that auto-resize and actionable notifications, you have complete flexibility to create the interface you want / need with a few simple touches!
Improved app organization and search
Application tray sorting is that bit breezier – just press and hold on any app – move, add it to your desktop or create a folder within the tray by dropping it on top of another!
We’ve also added a new search function within the application tray that makes it easy to locate your local apps.
Improved camera functionality
One for both the budding photographers and all-action snappers amongst us – we’ve added a more intuitive viewfinder with the addition of auto scene setting, and the option to switch between front and back camera with a single touch.
Google Now
Combining the power of Google search and user profiling, Google Now helps you accomplish daily tasks more efficiently.
It brings you just the right info at just the right time – cards appear throughout the day as prompts or reminders, and appear as a notifications when they’re flagged as important! Now there’s no excuse to miss that all important meeting…
As soon as the Jelly Bean software is available for your device, you’ll receive a notification in your phone. In most cases you’ll have the option to download and update over-the-air, but in some instances the software package may only be accessible via PC Companion or Bridge for Mac.
Please visit www.sonymobile.com/update for more information.
As usual we will continue to keep you up-to-date with our progress, responding to as much of your feedback along the way as possible.
*Availability and rollout timing will vary by market and customer variants

Next month = march
Official release date of JB is Q1 for 2013
that means march is not late, but is actually on time.
Burst mode please, and all the features of Xperia Z on TX! Lol
That's enough.
I will sold it after Lunar New Year and buy V instead. No more ****, Sony, no more ****.
At least, we know it.
I'll stop watching it every hours.
But I don't understand why. It's certified.
Will still keep my TX but this is one of the main reasons I just went out and bought a Nexus 4!
By the time I get the JB update on my TX I will have my Xperia Z...booo

Can't FTF an official firmware that doesn't exist.
There's like barely any difference between the T and the TX in the software, how does it take an extra MONTH to do something 99% similar?????
I swear...if this update does not fix the web browsing and walkman bug, I guess I will be forever using my walkman Z to listen music.
Yep. This is my last phone with sony. I was having high hope for JB update since Feb

Where will u switch? It's just nexus or Xperia. I came from s3 and ics here is TX is much much better than buggy jelly bean and not really buttery smooth.
I rather wait instead of getting that half baked software from Samsung

im waiting for the z at the end of the month too actually ill trade the tx in for it. wife will want it also she'll trade her tab 2 for it. I'd take the advice and wait for the Z I like the t tx v etc.. just for the camera.
Now that almost all Xperia's had their update I wonder why there's no plan from Sony to update our T to JB 4.2.2 ? I don't remember reading any info about an upgrade. No ETA, nothing and even a confirmation that it will be in future?
I won' t flood XperiaBlog like they did for S and Ion, but we should claim our due in Sony forum!
If anyone has infos that I missed...
S and Ion have 4.2? can't believe that and I'm too lazy to check.
as far as I know only ZU had jb, Z a leak (maybe now official but not long ago) and that's it.
first the newest flagships, then the older ones. so we should be next...

If our phone ( T, TL, TX, V) doesn't have 4.2.2 firmware this year
I guess, I should leave from Sony
XD
But Sony is a good phone for me

Ion and S never got 4.2.2. We don't need to get certifcation or leaks for a 4.2.2 update. We are probably the next but who knows. Sony could be making a update right now but nobody knows about it
I wrote maybe now it has official 4.2 but that's not long ago so what did I miss?
okay ZU and Z have 4.2 since 2 weeks or so, wow and you want to start complaining now?
4.1 is nice for S and Ion users but this has nothing to do with 4.2 for our T.
Gesendet von meinem LT30p mit Tapatalk 2
Still, no love

I guess Sony must focus on Xperia ZU project
After ZU release, maybe we will get 4.2.2
This is what I think it of
XD
I didn't say that all xperia's have 4.2.2. I just said that all devices have been upgraded to their respective latest software, no matter if it's 4.1.2 or 4.2.2.
So now it's time to claim support from Sony for XT, or at least a confirmation from Sony that it will be upgraded in a near future.
I'm guessing it'll be at the end of this year. Just speculation though
the time will come, just relax and be patience.:good:
I agree now that Sony has finished the 4.1.2 update cycle for its phone catalog and have now started the 4.2 update cycle ie. Z I do feel it is time for Sony to give us some information with regards to the next upgrade. I am not too fussed about when the update is coming, my device is running brilliantly and I havent read much relevant improvements in 4.2 or even the information about the leaked 4.3 update. I would jut like to know 'IF' the update is coming and what Sony features they will bring. ie Improved camera, Stamina mode, PS3 controller support etc. (all these could come in a 4.1.2 future update for all I care).
Actually, considering Sony is working with CM, we might get more than a camera
What is the deal with 4.2.2 anyway. Only the lockscreen? Why do you guys always complain that sony doesnt update. I understand if it was from 2.3 to 4.0. But its from 4.2 to 4.2 . Nothing is changed expect lockscreen. And toggles but for nexus devices. If sony rushed updates, your phones would lag just like nexus ones. Let them optimise...
They just complain about 4.2.2 slow update
Yeah, I see many Nexus user complain about memory leak in 4.2.2
XD
Skip 4.2.2, go to 5 directly, lol!

Even if Sony is working on updates for Xperia T and gang, you guys will be probably get it sometime later. They still have Xperia L and Xperia SP to upgrade and mind you, both of them have different SOCs. But I confident Sony will upgrade Xperia T and gang. If you noticed, Sony now doesn't give timelines for Android 4.2 upgrade. It's just suddenly pop out for Xperia Z/ZL. Previously, Sony said JB 4.1 for Xperia P will come FROM the end of March. Unfortunately, Xperia P users refused to read English properly and assumed it's the "at the end of March" instead of the official "from the end of March", causing an unnecessary uproar.

If Sony wants to keep from going bankrupt than they should make the customers happy no matter what or they just lose more money until the ps4 flops and doesn't hold them together and bankruptcy Sony.
Sony needs to get there **** strait and strive to be better than the rest of the phone manufacturers. Samsung is spanking them mainly because... they give out updates faster and in more of a timely manner than Sony.
If Sony truly wants to help CM they will release the code so the phones can run AOSP and not the ****ty Sony android software that's always extremely late.
Cheers
I prefer late but have more stabilty rather than fast update but cause many issue and bug

Lol. Don't worry. Sony profited Q4 in their financial year, though I must point out they disposed some of their fixed assets. PS4 isn't a flop, and their financial, music, entertainment, gaming and insurance branch is making money. I must point, most consumers DON'T CARE about Android upgrades. Most only upgrade only when their phone tells them too. It's only this little community in XDA, that will go mad about it. Sony sold more smartphone than HTC, Nokia and Motorola already and recently broke into Europe's top three. So don't worry. Even if Sony abandons the whole Xperia T range (unlikely), their sales will not be affected at all.

Lets see how many phones have 4.2
The obvious Nexus ones. Check
Latest Samsung.. GS4. Check
Latest HTC. Htc ONE. Check
Latest Sony. Xperia Z. Check
Any other phone yet ? Nope.
Any phone released before or same time as T/V/TX got 4.2 ? Nope
So what is the frikin' problem guys ? You are not being deprived of anything. Z/ZL has got 4.2. ZR, Tab Z etc are next, and right after that T/V/TX will get. So just chill.

EXACTLY. Even the extremely popular SAMSUNG S3 doesn't even have 4.2 yet.
Its not a Sony issue. ALL manufacturers of phones are slow at releasing updates.
The advantage to Sony is it is becoming well known in the communities is the QUALITY of the software running on Sony devices is much much better than the other companies.
At the end of the day it is the quality and not the latest bells and whisltes that matters. As I have said before Android has slowed down and not really brought anything new to the table since 4.1 which we are currently on the advancments have been in what Sony have bolted into the setup.

No. In that picture you can see sources for Xperia SP chinese version, the 2.254 equivalent. 4.3 will be out in November (starting with flagships). Regards
If Sony is following its naming trend as it used to, then it probably is higher version of android for Xperia SP.
Our current version of Jelly Bean is 4.1.2 and it goes with 12.0.A....
12.0.B... means 4.2.2 or even 4.3, finger crossed
Edit : Yup, I just noticed a small "c" letter at the end. It is chinese version of our phone.
Anyway, I just hope sony would not take too long to give us 4.3 as they "may" skip 4.2.2 for Xperia SP.

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

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.

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.
Enviado desde mi LT30p mediante Tapatalk
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.

How do you know? Sony has always updated their phones to the latest android version that their respective platform supports. If the MSM8960 is still supported in CAF we will surely see Kitkat sooner or later.
Remember that SP and ZR were not included in that list too. Sony should at least write another "news" with more accurate description what with us. What's our future...
On their site we still have "Testing" phase under KitKat 4.4 and ZU, Z1, Z1c has 4.4 as current version. So they did some changes on their site leaving ours intact, forcing us to wait.
Nevermind, I'll get the Z2 as soon as it appears here Btw 4.4 is still under investigation on the Xperia Support site and the above blog post is mostly about the roll out for newer phones.
We need to wait until at least 4.5 is announced from Google. XperiaT has always been a version behind.
Released with 4.0 despite 4.1 being out.
Updated to 4.1 whilst 4.2 was already out.
Currently rolling out 4.3 as 4.4 has been available from Google for months.

Think... Xperia Z in May, if Sony says so it'll be there in June then M2, T2 and so on most probably in July haha and T V SP in August?? No way sorry they will abandon it like the unloved brother Xperia S (╯3╰)
August? Hahaha maybe... And maybe sell my XV

I'd rather stay on 4.3.
4.4 without root is pretty much useless for me due to external memory usage restrictions (I really doubt the developers of Sygic and other navigation apps will bother to implement the new API in their apps).

Agreed, I have 4.4 on my ASUS TF101 but that is a custom ROM so this isn't an issue. 4.4 on a stock ROM makes my phone just as useful as a an iPhone. I hold all my media on a NAS drive and just FTP Music and TV shows over my wifi so no need for a PC to hook up and transfer over. This disappoints me as I now have two choices stay with 4.3 which I am extremely happy with or go down the custom ROM route for my XperiaT which I don't want to as I like and use the Sony customisation this is why I stick with Sony devices. For once I wouldn't be fussed that my device isn't on the latest firmware. Hopefully all the Sony 4.4 apps will be back ported to work on 4.3 ( I haven't looked yet as only just enjoying the 4.3 ones).
