If Samsung claim it's a lack of hardware in our phone, then why does the Galaxy 5 which is a pile of junk get it? I know: Samsung don't want the 'lower end' phone to beat the higher one...

we know samsung(samsuck) is crap but we want GB too so plz help us
Get over it. It's not gonna happen and samsung won't listen :/
we've spoken with Samsung and their answer was "there is no gingerbread upgrade planned for gt-i5800"
i think ive posted this answer a month ago in "General section" also Samfirmware not interested to port it either. They usually work with Samsung releases via Kies.
i still have the SG3 and im thinking to sell it
Samsung is soo gay man. :[email protected] Our phone does have the hardware. Those guys just don t want to give it. :-x
samsung are crappys......they r lazy....they r ****s.....coz.....actually the thing is they too might be knowing we g3 is capable of eating gbread but they are lazy to prepare 1 for it.....and a big thing is they do everything just for themselves i mean they think just of getting more money and not about the so called "welfare" and happiness of customers......when we'll spoil their name then they will come on track......
Yes yes. Efforts are required. There's no harm in giving it a shot. Right guys?
I completly agree with hillbeast.
They are making such claims because everything is marketing and profit. If you want gingerbread you'll have to buy another, more expensive, device.
Hardware can run it. One man army (marcellusbe) can make it (port it) but samsungs overpaid programmers can't...
i don't want gb...
i want ics (go marcellusbe please try)
Yes we also want ics
But samsung, if you think you'd not bother many people if their g3 won't get 2.3 or higher your wrong! I know allready 5 people with a g3 outside this forum while I just know 2 with a gs and 3 with a gs2...
No, ICS will be portable in 6 months when Google release the sources, but i think that ICS is crap. I want to have cm7.
serious, whats the "BIG" advantage of having gingerbread over froyo? what could we do with our g3 that we cant do know.
it's faster and i like updates but you're right.. ice cream sandwich is waaay cooler and i think it works faster..

Hello all,
According to this site Link a lot of galaxy devices are getting the gingerbread 2.3.3 update.
My question is:
Why don't we get the update?
I mean, the galaxy mini is getting it, why not the SG3?
Can someone please explain?

Its business ;-) why would Samsung pay their devs to make GB on SG3, who buys SG3 anymore? Nowadays they buy galaxy mini and ace, so they want to support those devices... I mean SG3 is not making money for Samsung anymore, so they don't have any reason to provide update :-(

i couldn't have said it better. Samsung has stopped SG3 production itself so we can't expect anymore updates. Even the Froyo update promised by samsung came so late. do not even dream about Gingerbread. We can get it only if it is ported by some dev from the ace or some other phone.
It's true but also sad. I haven't planed to buy a new phone for 2 years. I hope someone will translate the gingerbread from galaxy ACE to our phone
But, samsung has to make gingerbread. Rules of google! 18 months after the release of gingerbread every phone that can run gingerbread has to have it!
Yeah and 18 months after 2.4/2.5 is probably coming out. Then gingerbread will be like froyo right now.
Sent from my GT-I5800 using XDA App
no gingerbread for us officialy. but what is with the porting? i see alot of low range phones like xperia x8, lg optimus one etc. getting ported gingerbread. How are they doing this porting? Is anyone with G3 doing it?
Samsung isn't porting gb to sg3, but there are some people on the dev board getting organized on porting cyanogen, which uses gb nowadays, and that is basically our best bet on getting it working on our phones right now.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1045224
Even so, i don't think they'll get it ready for at least a couple of months from now, so you can either help them with dev/testing or sit back and not think about 2.3 for now
I read it somewhere in this forum that it's not possible to port Gingerbread as it requires at least 1.0 Ghz processor. Would be glad to prove wrong though.
even the galaxy 5/europe got gingerbread http://www.madteam.co/forum/index.p...anogen-710-nightly/page__pid__4724?#entry4724
i cant help becouse i don't know anything about making roms and such things

No! Its not necessary as Galaxy Ace can have GB but it doesn't have 1Ghz processor
Then giving more priority to high-end phones can be reason?
There's no point in Samsung to release gingerbread for our phone. Paying devs to make Gingerbread to some old phone which is not giving them money anymore would casue them to go in minus and that means the phone would've been a failure in the markets.
i think that the sg3 won't have the update to gingerbread because they will not earn nothing from this marketing choise..
Samsung has something to gain. It's based on pleased customers. If they bring Gingebread for G3 many of the users will be pleased and they're gona buy again Samsung. If customers see that other companies give GB for their devices, it is possible to buy from other companies. This happened with many disapointed SE X8 users(they dont even have official 2.2).
All the above is known as aftersales service.
ALWAYS high-end phones will get first updates !! And everyone knows why.
Dont panic SG3 Will get Gingerbread too, as we got official froyo so late will get gingerbread too eventualy in june i belive.
No way Galaxy Mini or Fit is better than Galaxy 3. It's just that they are latest phones doesn't mean they are more popular. I doubt they will get more sales than Galaxy 3.
The thing is when we got froyo that's when gingerbread came out. Now when gingerbread comes to our g3 then we all are going to want 2.4

i mailed samsung yesterday with the question "can we expect an update to gingerbread for the apollo i5800 as its also part of the galaxy line?" the answer was short, "dont count on it".
Hi Dears
I made a Petition in Petition online to Request from Samsung Co Ltd. for Release Honeycomb for Galaxy tab, If You agree with my Idea , Please go to Petition link and sign it
"Honeycomb for Every Galaxy Tab User"
Petition Link : http://www.petitiononline.com/13900322/petition.html
Best Regards
Erfan Shahmohamadi
I know some people in Samsung and i`ve worker with them and i`d like to tell you that Samsung dont give a f**k on consumer people, even the business one. They only care about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ like al big companys but they are the 1st on ifnoring consumer delight.
It's a good idea, but it won't work. I read somewhere that Honeycomb wouldn't go to devices that shipped with FroYo. Think it was a statement from Google too.

This petition is completley and utterly pointless. Its not upto Samsung or any other manufacturer if HC is released, Its up to google! Google isn't under any sort of legal obligation to release source at all. Its not like kernels where they are obliged to because of GPL.
So this petition isn't going to solve a damn thing.
The reason why HC has not been released is for one reason and one reason only and that's because they are trying to build a good and reliable range of HC Tablets. If they were to release the source you would get and endless amount of cheap/**** Chinese tablets that would dilute the product range and give a crappy impression on customers.

Unless someone is going to pay for the development fees, Samsung would be dumb to invest time in this rather than on new product lines.

But I would like Samsung before our friends in this forum to waste your precious time to do this, he proceeded to release versions for Galaxy tablet
i dont know, although it would have been great for both google and samsung to support HC on the SGT, i think id still prefer one built by the community. although there is more work involved it would still prove how far the community has come along, with people like spacemoose1 we can realy see the dedication to the coding they put behind their work.

no i agree with you there, we probaly wont see an offical update till 3.1 or something later comes out from google. personaly ive been using spacemoose1's gsm version of HC which so far runs nicely
There is power in numbers. Sadly, I don't think we have enough power. SGT is a great device tho. So glad that we have a booming a community and great developers.
The fact is, it needs to be pushed by Google to Samsung. Google *stated* that any tablet that originally shipped with FroYo wont get Honeycomb. As we know, the SGT came with FroYo, so no official Honeycomb for us. And a petition won't change that, reguardless of how many people we have.

Straight up, they didn't release it as Euro and Asian Tabs can make phone calls and Honeycomb doesn't do phone calls. They are not going to split their market because some XDA users are pissed. Oh, and money.

It may or may not be successful. But we have a chance for try. Isn't it?

I had already this kind of thread. I made a GROUP will everything official fb twitter mail. It was going great. But many didnt support it. I got only 325 or somewhat less signs on the petitions. Atlast I left that. Its not going to work. It can work but we dont have support.
A similar attempt made by Spica owners for 2.2 didn't work too. Samsung gives only one update per device, excluding Galaxy S series.
They have a contact with google to keep their devices 18 (i think) months up to date if their hardware can handle it. I mailed samsung about this and they said the g3 has a hardware limitation!
They just have to take a look at here and see there's no limitation!

There IS NO hardware limitation!! The deal was made when sgs2 came up and the deal was ONLY for new devices such as sgs2, ace, gio, mini and so on.
And IMO trying to ask for update for sg3 is NOT going to happen... Why wont you all accept it? Samsung wont give us an update because they stopped making g3 AND g3 is not bringing any money to samsung, gio, ace and mini are now bringing money to samsung so they have support! Its called business... Now dont say that it worked with HTC because HTC is NOT samsung! And dont start hating me for this, its just the truth and if you cant handle it then go buy an HTC!!!

Stock Samsung ROMs have always been crap for the SGS, full of bloatware and a crap file file system.
Over the last 18 months or so, some fantastic people sussed out the file system and gave us EXT2 and 4, removed the bloatware, created awesome ROMs and overclocking kernels.
ICS has been ported to the SGS and works rather well and once the bugs have been ironed out it will be awesome.
Who cares what Samsung will or wont do for SGS when there amazing guys here doing such a fantastic job with the ROMs.
Samsung are not the only company who are not releasing ICS for their phones released in 2010.
***** about Samsung all you like but that fact remains that all companies will deem a product end of life at some point, look at some of the Android 1.5 phones that didn't even get an upgrade to 1.6.
So on that note...happy birthday Samsung and please keep producing great Android hardware so the fantastic Devs here can keep producing awesome customs Roms

Why do you think you didn't get the update?
Manufacturers and carriers don't want you to be on the same phone for years just because you have latest software. They want you to keep buying new devices just because they have better specs and latest software.
Did you know that first bulb (one that was actually invented) is still working? Tell me why all the bulbs you buy these days go off in few months (for better comparison think about ordinary bulb and not fluorescent etc). Think the answer is quite simple ...

jelly bean 4.2.2 is definitely the latest that i expected.
the s2 is too old but still good.
morover the most of us will get a new phone very soon because of the contracts.
and this phone will get android 5 or higher in the future.
Gonna upgrade to another manufacturer i think...since the uk galaxy s4 will be a snapdragon based model and not the octocore we were hoping for...key lime pie will be nice.

Still not sufficient. A 650€ flagship should be supported more than 2 years and 2 poor versions. Ics & JB...
Or at least let the community do their job...
I totally agree, and don't understand the attitude of some people here... I didn't buy the phone just to replace it at the end of contract. It's still working perfect and I don't see the need for a replacement. Samsung should just let the community handle the updates if they are to lazy to do it themselves.
S2 till it dies, and when it does, another s2.
Fu*k it, I'll buy a couple s2 when they get 300 bucks cheap here (It's still at 600 bucks unbranded, 400 branded, crazy).

Ok, chill out now, no need to get sentimental.
I really wanna see 5.0 and what it's all about, I'm somewhat skeptical on the gigant upgrade that would represent against JB.
If a couple of devs make it work with no issues on their ROMs I don't see why we can't lobby up and ask for that update.
I mean, samsung devs vs xda devs...I'm sticking with our troops.
One thing's for sure, if the galaxy nexus gets it, I'll burn tires right in front of Samsung.

As stated by GSMArena website there will be no Android 5.0 update for Galaxy S2 and obviously should apply to the variants too.
Although this news is leaked from the company's insider, it may be true. This news may be highly disappointing to many. Here's the link. Go ahead check it out.

that's too bad..
Yes, if Samsung would now release all the sources (required by the license) we could keep upgrading our devices on our own. The S2 community has done a fabulous job, and we would get some disaffected devs back if we had all the sources. This is still a great phone. I'd hazard to say that there aren't many (any?) other 2 year old phones that still run this well on the "latest" software. I agree it might be still going strong in 4 years. Due to Samsung's intransigence however I think my next has to be Nexus. But it's hard to justify giving this up. Despite a faded screen, and reduced capacity of the battery, it still screams smoothly!
