New xperia s update dated 6/27/12, 10am PHL time

nhore — Wed, 27 Jun 2012 08:30:59 GMT

When I connected my xperia S to my laptop, a prompt saying that there's an available update for my unit. May what is this update all about and what are the modifications it will give my unit should I try to accept the update? At least I have already an idea on what to expect once I engage my xperia s to an update. Any answer is greatly appreciated. Thanks very much.

I haven't tried it yet. I'm kinda hesistant to accept updates already after reading all the negative feedbacks particularly with ICS upgrade. I don't want to experiance the inconvenience of dysfunctional xperia s unit. LOL. I would rather keep it with a Gingerbread. Unless, I am assured that things are perfectly fine with ICS. You're right, I'm from the Phils.

Thanks for the effort. But I wanna know what are the modifications and improvements if install the Version: 2.11.12.5. I need to know what changes this version will give to my unit because there was an instance when I accepted the so called update but it seems that nothing happened. The OS is still running normal, there's no changes in the operation. I don't know if it was just unnoticeable.

2.1.12.5. is an older Version ( Sony Ericsson )!

It will be automatically updated to version 2.12.7.29 ( Sony ) after installation!

There is no need to install!!!!

Xperia S updating....

Yeah, I know. I'm not dying to have my phone updated to ICS. May bagong update lang kasi when I connected my xperia S to my PC. Gusto ko lang malaman kung talagang maraming modifications dito sa update na ito otherwise I won't waste my time waiting for several hours just to complete the update at ang magbabago lang eh....hindi mo nga mapansin na nagbago. .

Hi, Nhore!

To be honest, if you are going to base your decision here in the forums, then you most likely will not decide to upgrade. People who post here usually have problems with their updates. Apart from that, you will see a lot of people complaining multiple times. But there is a larger percentage of users out there who have had successful updates that don't even bother to post here. why would they need to if the updates were successful anyway?

I'm from the Phils as well and I can confirm that the update was well worth the wait. I haven't had any problems with it apart from forwarding messages to entries in my phonebook that does not have the country code. But that's easily fixable. I have tried all the new features as per the review and everything in my phone is spot on. Battery performance is at least as good as the latest GB updates. I'm sure you'll love the new keyboard options and the new Album. In any case, you actually can back up your old firmware if you do not like the update at all. So far, I find the update really worth the wait.

Cheers, mate!

No need to revert back to old firmware.

When you plug in to SUS, it will say you already have the latest software, but you will still have an option the INSTALL it, so just click on that. It will then go to the next page where it will download the "official" update from the Sony server, and that's what it will install on your phone.
