Although the future of mobile of Sony passes through the devices since early this year has been showing the manufacturer Japanese with his own firm, there are still many terminals that retain the joint brand shared the Japanese with Ericsson, and also continue being valid thanks to the process of system updates.
We are talking about mobiles such as the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V and Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray, some of the phones of the last batch that united both firms in a joint venture that ended up shelving after the Japanese firm se made with the Swedish company's shares in the company that united them since 2001.
These devices, as we say, will not remain as marks of a path traveled by both for just over ten years. On the contrary, they will continue to be terminals to take into account, and the recent system update that concerns us in these lines is proof of this. We are referring to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich, the latest and most comprehensive platform of Google for smart phones, which since yesterday, April 16, begins to be available in the three aforementioned smart phones of today signing Japanese.
At the moment, as we know through the Xperia Blog site, only five European countries have access to the Android 4.0 update in the Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V and Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray. These are the Nordic regions of Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Norway and Iceland, where the new version of the Google platform is already available. According to the aforementioned specialized website currently on Sony terminals, the next step in the scale of updates will arrive in about four or six weeks, although it is not specified which countries would participate in the next raid.
In any case, as detailed from said website, it is possible to upgrade at Sony Ericsson Xperia Arc S, Xperia Neo V Sony Ericsson Sony Ericsson Xperia Ray and despite not being user of one of those five countries. To do this, they point out, you can proceed in two ways. One of them has a cost of two euros, and passes rename the firmware from our mobile to impersonate a telephone in the region that the system identifies as a binder of these five countries. You would have to use the WotanServer client and flash the phone. The system, being paid, probably not of interest to the user.
Another method passes again flashing the phone and install hand - ROM of Android 4.0 on our mobile. The Xperia Blog itself details a tutorial for this, while they refer to the XDA Developers website to get hold of the different versions of Ice Cream Sandwich designed for each phone that we want to update. In both cases, as we usually sign up for you, the process is entirely the responsibility of the user who proceeds to carry it out.
