Ice Cream Sandwich For unlocked UK Xperia u Plus SI 1262-0728

metalhead666 — Thu, 11 Oct 2012 15:26:57 GMT

righty first of i want to know if if i flash my Sony xperia u with the french ics by doing it the offical way how would i go about doing as i don't wanna brick my phone and would i still in term get official updates from sony themselfs

secondly should i just wait for ics to become available in my country which could take along time seeing as before i had an xperia ray and that took a long time to come but yet as i've been reading the xperia rays are still waiting for it

thirdly do unlocked xperia u's get the updates alot faster as they dont require any network approvales

Main: {GUIDE} How to Install ICS ( Ice Cream Sandwich) on Xperia™ Smartphones, Root and Downgrade to Gingerbread

Wait/Not wait your wish, ICS is more or less same anyways

Yes carrier contracted smartphones take much more time to get updates.

from my experiance with samsung phones which i have had in the past such as the galaxy 1 if you flash any roms yourself you dont get any further support. i am in the same boat as you with the same SI no from fones 4 u.

glad i got it unbranded though especially with so little space on it anyhow ... bloat ware sucks!!

so my guessing is for uk owners it could be a very long wait till we get ics
