ICS update

JimD — Mon, 20 Aug 2012 17:17:30 GMT

When are the rest of the Xperia Pros going to get ICS? It was released in 2011. Sony started rolling out the updates in May, but stopped in June with no explanation.

I realise this has been asked before, but they all seem to be "assumed answered" when they are anything but.

I only bought an Xperia Pro because Sony said they would definitely get ICS. I need ICS because there's a SIP bug in Gingerbread making it impossible to stay connected to my VOIP account for longer than ten minutes. Not to mention the sluggish and buggy behaviour. This is an absolute joke. Never buying Sony again.

I am still waiting for the same thing.

I know they say "We will however not be able to answer on questions like: "When will SI number XXXX-XXXX be added to this list?" or "when will country X get the update?"

But I think we do have the right to know if they stop updaing the Xperia pro series?

I am with Fido in Canada and still no words about when they update us. They haven't updateted the site since July16, so SONY, what's going on!!!!????

I am in the same boat you both are in and it's sinking fast. Fido has to approve an update from Sony, if one even exists for our version (1251-7365) mk16a, and since Fido no longer carries the xperia pro, I would safely suggest the upgrade will never take place. Sony, we paid good money for these phones, we want answers!!!!! And upgrades!

Although I appreciate your advise uliwooly. I don't want to miss one step and void my warranty. Still hopeful for the real deal, but hope is fading.

Thanks, but I'm not going to void my warranty.

Is my question marked "presumed answered" because you replied to it? I can't find any way of reversing that tag. My questions are not answered. Can you remove the "presumed answered" label please?

Some of you have noticed your threads get marked as 'assumed answered' even though there might not be a solution/answer provided. Keep reading if you want to know why.

Me and my colleagues in the Sony Xperia support team get a list several times a day. This list is called "Email Alert for Unanswered Discussion Questions".

As the name might hint, it contains a list with threads that are unanswered.

All threads that are marked as a question when created ends up in this list if not already answered within 10 hours.

In order for us to get a good overview of the Support Forum we click on 'Assumed Answered' as soon as we have posted a comment, even if it's not really answered. The creator of the thread can then either keep it that way, confirm or deny it.

Either way, we automatically subscribe to all threads we post in, meaning we will get a notification for each new post in every single thread we attend so no post should be missed.

We can also choose to subscribe manually to a thread after marking it as assumed answered (we do this if good answers have been provided by other users already).

only Sony Xperia Support team ( blue avatars) can do that,

I got no idea, may you can pm a Sony Xperia Support Team about it.

Can we have some word from Sony at least mention they haven't stopped the update for Xperia pro and we well get that sometime?

unless you see this posted on the ics si list >> NOTE: This list will no longer be updated.

or there is official announcement made, then I think the rollout is still going on, the question is why is taking too long for another update, afaik, there are still users complaining their SI is not yet posted,

Intesting thing just happens: I still don't see my SI on the SONY page, but got notification on my PC Companion says update is available!

I did it and so far better performance and stabillity, also I got some more RAM

(I am with Fido, Xperia Pro)

Good luck guys
