I don't mind if my android shuts down hidden apps but if the homescreen application and music player shut down that's an entirely different story.

This is pants. Android OS is getting worse imo. What's going to happen on Android in future budget models with less ram?? Google are going to have to do what Microsoft done. Have certain restrictions on budget models to have a standard spec for it to run ICS and it's OS. Otherwise budget models will not run properly with lower ram

updated both my galaxy s and s2.galaxy s only has gingerbread 2.3.6 with ics "value pack" due to being unable to run full ICS.now has updated icons,camera improvements,face unlock.
maybe the older xperias will get similar updates.

I think sony should then update their 2011 models to jellybean, i think that will solve this problem. But /sony has habit of releasing phones with lower ram, why 512mb ram in 2011 when htc desire had more in 2010? Even their 2012 models have 512mb ram(U&Sola).

Maybe Android needs to take a leaf out of Apple's and MS's book, make the OS more streamlined and efficient, bit like MS did with Win 7, so I can run on most phones.

What Google need to do is work with the OEMs, when they begin the next version they must with them from day one.

Sorry to say this, but it's utter BS.

Yes, Android does close activities and services when it's running low on memory. It's always done that, so it's nothing new compared to what you're already using.

Having said that ICS is not the reason why you don't want to upgrade. Sony's customizations, on the other hand, are. A vanilla version of ICS runs beautifully on a phone like the Xperia S, despite its 512 MB RAM limit. ICS is beautiful the way it is. Sony should just stop working on customizing the OS, and use it in all of its beauty.

Also - it's pretty ridiculous that Sony is blaming Google for bad performance when they're using several years old hardware.
