Xperia P Jelly Bean in the UK

adamcoomber — Sun, 09 Jun 2013 19:02:26 GMT

Hi,

I have the Xperia P and am in the UK. I brought the phone unbranded and SIM free form Amazon and use a SIM only deal with talk mobile on the Vodafone Network. The Jelly Bean update was announced on the 24 April and I still do not have it. I though getting a phone Un branded would mean I would get the update faster. I have asked Sony and got the 'we are unable to comment'. OMG it is so slow and I was waiting for ages on my Xperia Mini pro for the update to ICS. Does anyone in the UK have the Jelly Bean update for the Xperia P yet? I have been plugging it into the software and checking and checking on the update app and not got a thing. To be honest there update process well sucks.

Frustrated Xperia P owner very grateful for any help.

Thanks

Adam

I'm interested in UK update too, since I've got a phone from the UK.

The only question is when?

Hi,

Thank you for the reply. I have the PC software installed but still there is no update available in the UK. The manual update was for 4.0.4 which I thought was ICS and not Jelly Bean?

It appears that no one in the UK has Jelly Bean.

Thanks

Adam

So there is supposed to be another update out and I dont have it for some reason. Disappointing Sony. Does anyone else have the updated in the UK?

Dear uliwooly.

Would it be an official update, working via PCC or SUS, or we just have to update manually like we're some kind of developers?

I'm not a noob user, but have in mind that from my experience, I think that such ways of updating stuff are quite unusual, ever since, for years I've updated my sony (ericsson) phones via PCC or SUS.

That's why I need to know, if there would be an update for UK at all?

My other question is: If I update via flashtool, would that mean that in the future, I have to update my firmware manually everytime, a new version comes out?

Sony hasn't said otherwise, that the Xperia P wont get JB in the UK

Ok, anyway I got bored, so read all the stuff possible, backed up my ICS, and installed JB 6.2.A.0.400, via Flashtool, and then it told me that the latest version is 6.2.A.1.100.

Seems quite normal for the moment, no call lagging and no cammera problems for the moment.

Thanks anyway
