Great, thanks for the link, smclion102!
Really thinking about ordering up an Xperia Go this weekend. If someone could post ICS impressions soon, that would be perfect!
I'm not really sure which color yet though, white or black. I like the white one better but I think it won't look as nice after a couple of months of usage. Anybody got experience with the white one? Or white phone in general? |

I have a white  Live since the start of the year. It's still looking like brand new. I decided on a white phone because it looks unique, plus different to what everyone else has. Just make sure and keep it clean and you're good to go (I use an eraser to wipe off all smudges & marks, and that works great, plus I have it in a clear silicone casing).

So does anyone here who have an Xperia Go updated to ICS? Any bugs so far? or is it overall much better and recommended? hopefully someone replies, this thread seems dead or maybe just silent

I've had the iCS on my GO for a week now and it is So sluggish.
I do not recommand it at all, stay with GB until Sony releases a better version.
Even after disabling lots of application and screen transitions, menus are slow, desktop screens are slower than ever.
Has anyone experienced the same?

Ok thanks, checked also various forums including sony forums, and a lot of people are complaining that ICS is indeed very slow on Go. Guess I'm just gonna stay with gingerbread for now. Thanks again for the reply mate

It's crazy that all I read about now is that Sony phones with updates to ICS are all slow. Sort it out Sony  Shame cos the Go!! is a nice little waterproof baby

@ sambouka
have you tried this?
(All Sony ICS Devices) Instant Speed Improvement to ICS
just found it on xdadevelopers, you might want to give it a try since it seems to be simple settings, can't see that option on gingerbread though, so maybe that might help on those with ICS.

Just tested up to what max video you could run on the go, MX player and BS player seems to be the only two video players I've tried so far with 720p mkv's that had no problem with audio and video, moboplayer did not recognize one of the audio of the mkv's I've played.
So far only 720p video with normal to low bitrate plays fine, High bitrate 720p videos stutters sometimes. 720p Hi-10P videos are a no go, it stutters a lot.

I just found out that xperia go has barometric pressure sensor !! I wonder why Sony/SE always insist on under representing their phones :S .. Anyway Jellybean update has been released for Go.

Hi, have you already updated to jellybean?  My Xperia go is still on gingerbread, never bothered to update it since gingerbread works fine for me anyway. Is it much better than the ICS update?

I haven't received it yet, but JB update seems to be much better than the ICS according to xda. Will keep you posted when I receive it.

Ok thanks mate I'm also looking at other forums to see if the JB update is good, so far I've read positive feedbacks about it too.

So after reading a lot of good reviews from users in different forums, I've decided to update my Xperia Go to Jellybean. So far I have not encountered any bugs and would highly recommend it . Btw I never used ICS on my Go, There's just one important thing to do after updating to jellybean and that is do a factory reset. In my case I also checked the box in clearing the internal memory. This fixes the sluggishness after the update and removes whatever junk was left on the phone, this also fixed the album not showing the pics on my SD card. the only downside is you're gonna have to reinstall your apps.
Overall I am very pleased with the update since scrolling between the menus is as fast as it was on gingerbread .
here are a couple of screenshots:
Personally I like the new UI, much more convenient to use, camera and music seems to be working fine.

hope you get it soon, so far I've taken a couple of pictures, loaded more music on my Go, and used wifi, haven't experienced any random freeze or shutdown yet which is good.
