Galaxy S2 Jelly bean update?

aca95pks — Mon, 29 Oct 2012 11:57:55 GMT

I did a search but couldn't find anything.

It's reported Samsung will release this in Nov. Any idea when we'll get it on O2 S2 phones?

Cheers,

Paul.

O2 do not give out any advance notification other than "in testing". Abs will most likely post on here during the week the roll out will start so keep checking back....

I don't think Samsung have released one yet? But add another 6 months for O2 to sort out that very important startup animation

I will have bought an S4 by the time the S2 gets an update and that isn't even out yet.

That's correct.... Nothing released by Samsung yet.

After having S2 issues and getting the handset replaced with the SG Nexus, the person in O2 technical department that spent ages trying to sort the problem & attempted to install Jellybean on my SG S2 handset as it was available as she had it. Unfortunately, my handset had a problem wich prevented the upgrade, but, jellybean was/is available. This must have been around the 1st week of November as I had just read an article about JB soon being released for the S2. I did question this several times with her, but she assured me that it was available and she did have it. She also said, that O2 (and presumably other providers) receive any updates 2 months prior to official expected release date, so that they can test it for compatibility purposes! Odd then that O2 seem to behind the times then. Apple are the only ones that don't release updates prior to release date, which would explain why their maps were released (without checking) on official release date.

Bit of a joke.

Having previously owned iPhones for years, I'm pretty annoyed about the ridiculous fiasco known as Android/o2 software updates.

What is so difficult about organising updates so that they're available when they're supposed to be ? Why do we have to hang about wondering whether we're even going to get the update ? Apple update their software, tell you when it's released, and on the day it's released you get the update regardless of whether your network provider deems you worthy of it or not. Why can't it be this simple for non-Apple device owners ?

I cannot wait for my contract to end on this crappy Android device so that I can revert back to an iOS device: manufactured by a company that gives a toss about its customers.

Hi bluecircus,

Why don't you do what I did and I install the leaked Jelly Bean 4.1.2 update? l have been running it on my S2 without a hitch for several weeks now. With all of the new bits and pieces it's like getting a whole new phone for free, an S3 in a smaller package

Click on the link below to find out more about it and the instructions needed to install it.

Then go back to your closed-in Eco system because that's not what Android is and you'll never get it, it's what happens when operators and manufacturers are allowed to customise the core OS themselves. If you want an Android device that is kept up-to-date you need one of Google's Nexus devices, 4, 7, 10 or the older ones.

I think I'd rather not "get it" (patronising much ?) and be treated with respect by organisations I fund, thanks.

Sorry but you said "I cannot wait for my contract to end on this crappy Android device" in an Android devices forum, and you actually registered to post that.

So, all you're allowed to do on an Android forum is to talk about how good Android is ?

Of course The Samsung update leaked ages ago but they've still not made it official. Unfortunately Google haven't had any Nexus 4 stock for months either 😞 And I'm not buying one from O2 for more than it costs and be stuck with another contract.
