SOLVED
Hey fellas,
I purchased sony ericsson xperia mini pro SK17i last week. it came with android 2.3.3. I don't have any issues so far.
I'm getting a message on my phone saying there is a new software update available(4.0.2.A.0.58). Before I update my phone to the latest firmware, I'd like to get some things cleared up.
1) If I update my phone from 2.3.3 to 4.0.2.A.0.58, the applications which are currently installed will stay?
2) Are there any known bugs in the latest version(4.0.2.A.0.58)?
3) After updating, If I find something unusual, is it possible to revert back to 2.3.3?
Thanks in advance.
