The Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich update has started rolling out for the 3.7-inch QWERTY-enabled Xperia pro (MK16i). You can find a list of SI numbers that have been updated so far here, or if you can’t wait for that you can download the FTF and flash the firmware using FlashTool here. This news means the only 2011 Sony Android handsets waiting for the ICS update are the Xperia mini, Xperia mini pro, Xperia active and the Live with Walkman.

Waiting for the leak APK’s from Xperia S ICS. The walkman app and the new gallery. Hope someone will have the heart to make it. XD
The updates are currently not available via PCC. There’s some error in the update pushing system.
Started updating around the same time I saw this news.. Currently downloading with my slow connection..
I still cannot update my phone although my SI number tell me that the ICS is ready for me to upgrade. That’s suck!!!

I used that to update but it’s tell me I got the newest (2.3.4)
den how to update?
Bookmarked… waiting for my SI number to be added to the list.
For those that have ICS on their Xperia Pro though – how is it so far??
Does anyone know if in the near future Sony Mobile plans to do another smartphone with a keyboad ?
F*** you sony for what you did on our xperia play
F*** YOU SONY
my SI doesn’t appear on the list :S
Wooohoooo Xperia Pro!!! The truly most supreme member of the Xperia family, unsurpassed by anything released since in terms of user experience (or Xperience
). A genuine triumph of great design combined with practical functionality, rather than mere fashion for the sake of fashion. It really shows off what Sony Ericsson’s engineering and design teams are capable of (and also what their operations people are capable of making a mess of).
I can’t wait for the successor (provided the operations teams don’t cock it up again!
)
will this give me ics? what will this do?
Dude when u link something put some credits or source at least
The updates are possible now again. Users are reporting successful traver via pcc now.
Those who earlier updated to 4.0.3 (only the three top cells from Sony) can update using ota.
Now however, the updates are online via PCC too, so no problems whatsoever.
Damn good! Even with over 200 apps installed, it doesn’t lag. Wifi is faster, GPS is faster, and the UI is exceptionally good (especially the font). Trust me, the UI is so good, you wouldn’t want to go back to the GB UI (unless you’re a hardcore gamer)
nooo…SI 1249-7477 not yet listed >_<
Can I install it on non-rooted?
very smooth! all the stock apps are fast. only lags at first but after a reboot
from the philippines
huuuuuuraaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh
SI number not listed…from INDIA
Anyone has any idea on when it’ll become available here?
Waiting like anything..
Any info. will be greatly helpful..:)
Is it really worth upgrading. I have a few third party apps and also a few games.
Whoah seriously its tht fast????
I have got a few games namely temple run and istunt2.
What abt the preloaded apps??? Is office pro still included?
Within this week it will be released in india. I am just waiting for the review and then will upgrade.
From Saudi Arabia
GB UI (unless you’re a hardcore gamer) Uh oh, what do you mean by this? Do games have a performance hit on ICS?
I’m new to android. PC companion says I can upgrade my Xperia pro to ICS. Will I lose my apps?
Thet’z what I like
I can’t seem to get a concrete answer on this but, I have the latest Xperia s that was released a couple of months ago, when can have android 4.0 it says it’s up to date but im hearing reports its available
grrrrrrrrr.
its still not available for me yet! come on 1251-7something something
is it a valid SI bro? Mine’s the same and i bought it cheap online. now i fear i might’ve been duped
обновился, ваще круто)) все работает, как новый телефон купил)
No, everything was in place after i updated. So far I only found “Myself” data from contacts missing, but that’s easy and quick to fix.
-steelicon: well, i tried playing assassin’s creed. Gameplay went as smooth as butter, but it crashed suddenly while playing. (but that’s probably because it wasn’t optimized for ICS in the first place). But in a sense, I was wrong. the gameplay was still great!
-Faeq: It’s great, if you do a new installation. All apps are faster and smoother. I’m not very sure about an update from GB to ICS, that might hinder it’s full potential.
You’re name’s there when flashing it, anyway, sorry about that
My SI number is not in list…
It is not yet released in India…can anyone tell me when it will be available in India

Расскажи как обновился? через Flashtool?
I’ve installed the 4.0.4 update on my Xperia pro and I can say that till now (after 24 hours) I had no issues with it. It’s stable and with some apps deactivated it’s running like a charm even with 512Mb. I really like the panel stile view with the apps running in the back; the music player and the fact that you can access it even with the phone closed; the fonts (some icons were better designed in the Sony Ericsson era); maybe the battery life is a bit better (max with 15- 20%). The phone runs smoothly and there are no lags at all. With antutu benchmark tester the phone scored 3185. I love my phone and I’m happy that it’s running fine with ICS 4.0.4!
why haf way update it said that my phone cant update or wad so eva. isit phone at least must have 50% of the battery life to update it?
Solved by reinstalling Flashtool..
they haven’t updated the SI list since the 30th of may. come on Sony i want my ics! and i would like to have the most current version of android for at least a month before jelly bean comes out :I
Am I alone in being rather underwhelmed by the ICS upgrade? I may not be an entirely typical user – it’s primarily a working phone
used for email/internet and (of course) phone calls, so improvements
elsewhere are of little interest to me.
Firstly, let me say the upgrade went smoothly and performance and memory occupancy seem fine. But they were before under GB. However I can’t say that the improvements are that significant – a tad better here and there (I don’t use the standard browser or calendar so improvements there are irrelevant to me).
While some may like to get to the camera from the locked screen – the fact that it is now more difficult to turn sound on or off from there is a retrograde step to me.
