Sony Mobile is rolling out a firmware upgrade (version number 6.0.B.3.184) for its Xperia U smartphone, though it won’t bring Ice Cream Sandwich to the mix. Rather, it’s a bug-fixing update that will push Android version to 2.3.7 Gingerbread, while also including a number of stability and performance improvements. In case you wonder, network selection issues have been sorted out with this software release.

But that’s not all, this firmware was certified two days ago on PTCRB along with the other Xperia handsets that use the NovaThor chipset, aka the Xperia go and Xperia sola, as well as the Xperia P.

So if you own one of the mentioned Xperia smartphones, fire-up Settings, About phone and update from there. Even if you don’t see the new firmware yet – don’t worry, it’s coming any day now.

    Sorry about disturb…

    I have see the new firmware upgrade (version number 6.0.B.3.184) but I have to download the PC Companion software settings update (version number 6.0.B.3.184) but it gives direction unplug the USB cable between the PC and device, turn off the device for several minutes (5 minutes) and keep the battery at least 50% of devices and connect cable between the device and the PC while slow volume and download PC Companion volume and once again …

    When I do, and waiting for the connection to the next level, the direction went out again to not get on even repeated again …

    Please explain how I need to do more …In fact, new software has been available in the device but the device notification asking me to upgrade (version number 6.0.B.3.184)
