Downgrade from Android 4 to 2

mauricenash — Sat, 09 Jun 2012 14:43:03 GMT

Hi, after the upgrade to Android 4 in my X-Ray, I could not do a screenshot pressing the on/off switch and volume key. I sent my pone with to the Tech service and they downgraded the phone to Android version to 2.3.4 which was the original one the phone came with 6 months ago. Is this normal? I just got it back and when I opened PC companion it asks me if I want to upgrade the operating system. What shall I do as I don´t want to be without my phone for two weeks again!!!!.....

Is all this normal?...

Hi my phone says Android version 2.3.4 as I mentioned it in the first message and the build number is 4.0.2.A.0.62.

But surely that is not the latest Android version as in Sony´s blog says that now all their Xperia range can update to Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich), so what can I do?
