Remember Xperia S? 2012 Sony Flagship?
WTF are you thinking Sony?
Bring JB to Xperia S ASAP -_-

28. rusticguy posted on 09 Mar 2013, 03:07 1

Actually they are working in "Alphabetical" order 9since they lost track of all alphabets that they attached to their phones) ... so J comes before P and that comes before S, SL etc. Whoever gave it to T first did it by mistake

My phone always Sony Ericsson and always happy with their service but I think I won't have Sony phone if they treat costumer like this. Arc S will be my last love for SE

2011 handsets don't have enough internal memory to support JB, even with ICS you are limited in the number of apps you can install. What's more, two years have passed and I think we can be content.
The real problem IMHO is that they won't upgrade 2012 handsets like U and Sola that are far more powerful than the J, and that S and P users are still waiting.

System memory != User apps/Data memory
It doesn't really matter which Android version you install, the amount of user apps won't be affected.

Also, almost two years old, so what? Ask samsung if that stopped them from upgrading the S2. Sony should admit they're pushing 2011 devices down the trash can, otherwise they're proving their devices are not future proof.

Oh, and I forgot, you can move nearly any app on existence to external memory, so user space is a non-issue.

we're not on cupcake anymore.

Really pixelado?. I am not able to spot to moving it my external memory card?? :(
not my words : I have seen somewhere else XJ users can easily switch to other better phones just to retain them they have given to XJ and not to many other phones which are capable enough ...

Yes, you can. App2SD should do the trick, otherwise you might want to move them manually, that's what I do on my XMP.

BTW the Miro and Tipo were even lower end handsets. If sony released JB for the XJ just to prevent users from flocking to another brand, giving it to all three low-end phones would have been the right thing to do.
Now sit back and watch Xperia S owners roll in agony and regret.

The Xperia Play cant handle anything above Gingerbread, they said.
It ruins the user experience, they said.

Don't forget Xperia Neo L, Tipo and Miro, they are also having single core processors, why the J can have JB but not those three phones?

14. pixelado posted on 08 Mar 2013, 13:35 5

Oh, right, the Neo L. The phone is basically a 2011 device. I'll be REAAAALLY mad at Sony if they release JB for it.

If J got JB, then Tipo may also get.
The only difference is 800 MHz CPu, camera and screen size.
So Tipo may get JB, not sure though!

Fingers crossed! (I've Tipo)

JB needs a good GPU! besides Processor and RAM. Sony U has Mali GPU which shares RAM to run graphics apps, This will lead to RAM shortage if it gets JB. Whereas Xperia J has Adreno 200 GPU which does not require RAM memory to be shared. So Single or dual core does not matters here. !! U will never get JB.. sorry.. !!

What about xperia go? Its also has Mali-400 GPU and 512mb RAM but it's got JB why???

Xperia J
Design- Not Bad
Performance- URGHHH........

See ryq24 you may have read worst reviews all around, but xperia J is a phone that has every feature that a smart phone should have, I agree its configuration are not upto the mark when compared to other sony devices. but it has its unique features too. As a user of this phone I did not notice any lags so far, and yes I do not use powerful apps.. the latest xperia is J released at the end of 2012 that may be the only reason for this update.. So dont just blame xperia J.. its worth for its money..

"the latest Xperia is J released at the end of 2012"

Irrelevant. Why would that matter anyway. By saying that you're implying people should always wait for the last Xperia to be released each year (not a good sign for the XZ).

Sony should have planned their update schedule better, putting the former flagships first and low-ends

20. pixelado posted on 08 Mar 2013, 15:28 0

(damn, accidentally hit "post reply")

they should put their former flagships first and low-ends second, that's what sammy does, and would you look at how it worked out for them.

Worth the money? Yeah, nah, congrats on rebuying X10 parts on a 2012 device.

29. vignesh_chn posted on 09 Mar 2013, 04:08 0

You have to blame SONY for not maintaining customer support for older devices, Instead you are blaming xperia J. Nothing has been confirmed yet by sony. For what device you are waiting for to get JB ??

Huh? I'm not blaming the XJ, I'm just saying it has x10 specs, that's all.

I've been expecting JB to hit the Sola and the Go. My mini pro is officially out of the update cycle so I lost my hopes there :(
