What's new in Sony Xperia T and Xperia TX latest Android 4.0.4 ICS firmware update

Screen Mirroring 
Screen Mirroring lets you experience the full Xperia T/TX interface wirelessly via WiFi Miracast on your TV – get the bigger picture as you share photos, videos, games, maps, emails and music.

Extended standby mode
Extended standby mode increases the standby time by up to 4 times. When the screen has been in sleep mode for a few minutes, Wi-Fi and data traffic will temporarily be disabled and most applications will become inactive. Core functions such as calling and messaging will work as normal; you will still be able to receive calls, messages and notifications. Once you touch the screen to wake the device up from standby all functions are back to normal!

Sony’s media applications
The upgrade also brings new improvements to Sony’s media applications – we continue to evolve our applications to make your experience of enjoying and sharing content more personalised and effortless. Movies app now let’s you run the show from the dashboard with a small viewing window, controls and film gallery. “WALKMAN” app’s interface is more dynamic, with changing colours to reflect the track’s album art. Album app utilises Mobile BRAVIA Engine with even higher contrast, depth and sharpness in photos and videos. You can also make full use of SenseME Slideshows, delivering a tailored presentation matching music to your image’s ambience.

HD Voice (Not available for Xperia TX)
Xperia T supports HD Voice, the most significant voice quality upgrade in mobile history; transmitting a broader spectrum of the human voice resulting in a more natural sound filtering out distracting background noise. It’s now easier to recognize voices, and to hear and understand what the person at the other end is saying, even in noisy environments.
