[hush66]

Can teach me other way of updating to ics but not void the warranty of the phone?

Try the Web Update (click on the View all software updates link):

Xperia

Or follow the guide here:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1737628

It will not void warranty, since you don't have to unlock the bootloader.

hmm... weird. It seems like some people have bugs on their firmware update while some don't. Hopefully Sony will release another firmware update to stabilize the firmware.

 

[trichard]

Did you all rooted the phone before upgrade to ICS ??????

 

[fredrick]

Tried reboot also same. Sigh.
Before ICS I can slide to unlock with password but I can't do it anymore. Did I miss any setting on it?

 

[elementz]

after updating to ICS, my computer can't seem to detect my phone via the USB cable anymore.

Tried it in my office as well but din work.

Anyone else facing the same problem?

 

[fredrick]

Problem I face after ICS
1. Yellow tint
2. Play store take ages to Load n timed out
So far these two problems
Hope it end there

 

[maumu]

seems like there're lots of problems with the ICS?

 

[ragnarok95]

Yellow tint is a panel issue and shouldn't be related to ICS.

From Xperia Blog

The Sony Xperia S Android 4.0.4 ICS update went live last week and since then a number of readers have got in touch about problems upgrading. These were people who had handsets with an SI number that Sony had listed as being ready for the ICS update. Well Sony Mobile has responded to this issue over on the Talk Sony Mobile forums and says that all updates will be “re-released”.

First update over ICS updating problems

“Unfortunately it seems that some users have problems to update their phones to ICS even if their SI number is in the list. We have located some issues and we’re working on fixing them as soon as possible. So if your SI number is listed for the ICS update but you still get the message saying that your phone is up-to-date stay calm we’re working on it. We will come back with more info soon.”

Second update over ICS updating problems

“We have identified the earlier issues and are working to implement the solution across all available ICS updates. This process will happen gradually beginning now. Feel free to run your update again now to see if it is available, or wait and we will inform you here when all updates have been re-released.”
