Galaxy S2 Jelly bean update?

[aca95pks]

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....

Thanks folks At this rate I may have bought a Nexus 4 before it gets released

It is now nearly half way through December and still no jelly bean update??????

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.

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.
