Android 4.0 Upgrade For Sony Xperia Smartphones Opens a Pandora Box

First time accepted submitter ctrl-alt-canc writes "The udpdate to Android ICS offered for free by Sony to the Xperia smarphone users has caused plenty of troubles. Not only the decision by Sony of not updating Xperia Play phones to ICS caused rage among customers, but those who were lucky to get an upgrade for their smartphones discovered that WiFi connection did not work anymore. Up to now, the only suggestion proposed by Sony to fix the problem is to turn off the encryption, and reboot the smartphone and the access point."

    I suspect its Google's fault or the wifi chipset manufacturer's fault.

    Indeed, it is Google's fault for operating a faux-open project model.

    Android is winning.

    Yes it is, and I bet that keeps you awake at night. How's that Nokia deal working out?, maybe you could get a few more of your monkeys to buy phones in Amazon and copy paste reviews just so you can brag about its sales rank for a week.
