Will the final version of ICS for 2011 Xperia phones be an improved version of the current system running on the Xperia S?
I watched a demo of Xperia S and it's System UI is gorgeous. The music player is especially well done. I hope they improve on that interface and give it to every Xperia phone with ICS.
Du hast dir auch nicht das Update auf Ice Cream Sandwich runtergeladen sondern nur eine neue Buildversion. Damit wurden einige kleine Bugfixes vollzogen. ICS gibt es erst in 1-2 Monaten, + - !!!
it would be nice if s.e. manage to give i.c.s a total different in appearance compared to gingerbread. come on, give us something fresh. make us eager and excited to update our phone!
The xperia s is android 2.3.7 but they gonna update it to ICS does the icons and ui are gonna change or remain the same also xperia arc is going to be as same as xperia s , pls if anyone knows just tell me
@TheDoodix i don't think they will change any of it. it will b the same.. it's always like that.....now they have new phone to care about... the xperia s...
@Hypernerdwithcam press your finger on the screen (in the space you want the gallery) hold down until a window pops up. Select "Widgets" then scroll down to "Photos and videos" job done!
Aparently in May and June official firmware update aiming for Ice Cream Sandwich on Xperia portfolio. I would be more excited if i knew that my Xperia mini can handle Android 4.0.
With recent system setup of 2.3.4 I have not much of internal memory left for apps which should be on left on internal memory.
Apreciate any info on this subject. Thanks
I am curious how much more space Android 4.0 takes and how it affects speed of the perfomance?
The "back", "home" & "menu" @ 0:20 display on the screen is absolutely unnecessary and ridiculously and annoyingly occupying the screen when there are already hardware keys. You could use that extra space for bigger display of content! Do something about this SONY!
Dear Sony Ericsson please update SE Xperia X8 too it is very annoying having to be stuck with the old android 2.1 and having to install custom rome (not official ones).
I want the lockscreen with the circle. I want the translucent notification center. I want the menu button to be the multitasking button. I want the ics black keyboard.
oh noo,,i hope beta version is loooooooooooooot different from alpha,,pls we want more than what we just saw, yes just like Nexus but with Xperia touch,.MOST IMPORTANTLY TimeScape for browsing album like it's in SONY XPERIA S
i know you probably wont do this but it would be a great step for the android community and would make the xperia line unique is to allow the timescape ui to be turned on and off letting people use the stock holo ui so you can truly keep it open
and on a side note i would like to be able to get rid of some of the pre installed apps like rdio track id and quick office
Sony Ericsson PLEASE implement smart dialing! i mean... come on, even my old k850i (love it) has it, and it's an incredibly useful feature. Thumbs up so they can read this!
I'm okay with anything but SE please fix camera high compression.. I bought Arc S for the camera and this bug really ruining my photos.. A photo from 8mp for less than half a megbtye of size really look sh*t... so please fix it
I really think the icons should be redone. I think having them in a sort of 3D tilt does not match go streamlined with all the other icons for app that are downloaded that are simple 2D and "flat". I think if you redo the custom icons to a "flat" style it would make the UI a lot more cleaner.
Smart dialing, CRT ICS animation are my favorites to incorporate. Besides this, I hope that access to the multitasking screen is much quicker than press and hold the home button. Why not the menu button like the Google Nexus?
More homescreens is not needed, I barely use widgets. Just quick, intelligent, intuitive access to common functionality and apps.
First at all: UPDATE THE KERNEL AND PLEASE DO NOT CHANGE (I mean keep these ICS features): - CRT Lock-Animation - Lockscreen with Faceunlock - Resizeable and Dynamic Widgets - Easier-to-create folders, (drag-and-drop style) - Gallery - Menu layout-App Drawer with Tabs - Roboto Font - Contacts Layout - Video and Photo Editor (Its Awesome!) and ADD - Smart-dialing - Xvid/Divx Support Thumbs Up Please :) Thx Sony Pd. My next phone will be a Neo V (Y)
I hope that Sony Ericsson use the new lockscreen, remove the lower bars transparency (for ICS'), able to customize the home screen (having 5 or less screens instead of 7), the ICS notification bar, bringing MediaScape back (must suit ICS, not like X10 lost that feature for 2.3), changing the app screen added with widgets there (the lower symbols can be removed and replaced by pressing the settings button), ICS camera UI with BRAVIA and Exmor R, file manager or etc. for the final version of ICS.
What about camera on ICS? We know, that current Android versions are overcompressing the photos, so the quality is not the best we could get. What about ICS, is it better?
Woah!!! SONY's just brilliant! Damn. Wish they make an Xperia PLAY 2 with the exact specification of the PS Vita but this time, with PSN trophy compatibility!! :D That's what I would call the perfect phone! :D
please get the new circle lockscreen, get the menu button to work as the multitasking(not the long pressing home button anymore) and the new notifications bar too(the transluscent one)
Hot how do I get this for my skyrocket???
