Strange rollout of ICS 4.0.4 update for ARC S

[chaud]

I just found out that from this website http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f708/sales-item-si-list-xperia-arc-s-lt18-1510959/ that my XPERIA Arc S is listed under

Generic Trade Singapore | Customized SG | 1254-0655 | Midnight Blue

Since it's a Generic device, Why is the 4.1.B.0.587 update still not hitting my phone?! My phone is still stuck on the 4.1.A.0.562 firmware!  :smileyconfused::smileyangry:

is or was your phone "locked" to a network at all?

I have said countless of time, My phone is NOT locked to a network or something. I bought it without a contract at a local Sony Concept store (6range) http://www.6range.com.sg/ in singapore!!!

in some countries even unlocked phones are locked to a network but not locked to a contract, that seems odd but that's how it is in ertain markets.

you can check

open the phone app and dial

*#*#7378423#*#*

Service info > SIM lock

I just realized not a single Xperia Arc S have been updated to 4.0.4 firmware in the singapore region according to the SI number list. What is Sony Mobile Singapore doing?!

Any ideas?

[Uliwooly]

what's your SI number?

1254-0655 as stated above in the 1st post!

I see that you phone was updated to 4.0.3 back in April but nothing regarding 4.0.4 nor the latest update, I would contact a Sony Moderator but as you might no, not only networks approve updates but region/countries. contact Markus, Jeff, Johan
