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.

Honestly, did anyone ever expect Android 5.0 to be officially released for our device?

3 major upgrades for a 2 year old phone still put Samsung as one of the better ones in terms of upgrades ...
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.

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!

samfirmware just tweeted some bad news, it looks like samsung has stopped working our vibrant t959 we wont be getting gingerbread from them .
NO GINGERBREAD FOR THE VIBRANT?? Oh dear, oh dear! 1 year old device. No subversion updates? Ffffuuuu!

Seems like Samsung is a retarded company. Didn't the vibrant sell the most out of the US galaxy s versions? Not giving support to such a huge user base is terrible PR move.

Can they really be so stupid to make vibrant the only phone that will not get gingerbread, even low end galaxy phones will get it in time. I just cant believe this, no more Suxsung for me.
If anyone plans on suing samsung, this time it better be real.. Samsung is stupid.
Neveragain# crusade should now commence...
Edit* on second thought, maybe I shouldn't jump to conclusion that we won't get gingerbread just because there's no leak, yet, or because of leaks.. . Samfirware don't even have a leak for the fascinate and it sure is getting gingerbread based on the leak that came from somewhere else..
well samssung sucks (( never samsung phones in my hands
Mine already has gingerbread
And even with the so so battery life its still better than any firmware that samsung actually released. I never use GPS so that's a none issue for me.
F#%@!!!!
And I was waiting so patiently for the last 6 months
Oh well, If I want official leaks, I'll be sure to get a Nexus next time.

yea i feel your pain guys .. I only have a captivate ..
you guys need to understand tho , motorola and many other companies have device that came out this year and dont even have gingerbread , samsung is doin a fair job at updating there device , imho I think its more of a carrier thing , witch phone get there updates or not , seeing how most of the SGS family got Gingerbread already .. its not like its hard fo rsamsung to release this update , most likely it will be magically leaked at one point Im sure ..
http://www.gizmocrunch.com/android/4305-samsung-galaxy-s-android-gingerbread
what happened to that?
^ honestly, i can live without gingerbread... But the idea that the rest of the US versions are getting leaks here and there and not our device seems unfair... But seriously, the hell with the leak as long as we'll still get a taste of gingerbread later when it's all baked and ready...
To leave the vibrant out in the cold with support is wrong, the least samsung could do is be fair about it..

They're Flagship device is running the latest version of android.
Last years flagship device was running the latest version of android. If they updated last years device Samsung would loose money. Not everyone has the money to buy a galaxy s 2, and Samsung knows that. Now if both devices had the same OS version out of the box but one was significantly cheaper what device would your average consumer choose? Common sense guys

This is absolutely ridiculous. Our tablet came out in November of last year. It's less than a year old, and Samsung is dropping us already despite being a member of Google's so-called Update Alliance.
Guess Samsung hasn't changed at all from the old days.
If this pisses you off like it pisses me off, maybe we can shame them if we complain enough on their Facebook and Twitter pages, I already did:

In the end, if Samsung drops us like yesterday's garbage, at least we still have our great devs here, like we always have.
I feel very lucky to have the developers!
Updated the post with the Samsung Facebook and Twitter feeds that I complained on.
With Samsung's "galaxy this and galaxy that" devices with different hardware specs you cannot expect the samsung team to come up with updates to each and everyone of them. That is a big nightmare.
As for me I will never again make a mistake in buying a samsung device. Support for an expensive device from samsung really sucks!
And to discover later that the device is not really up to quality and seems "untested" thoroughly adds to the disappointment. Example is the warming of the GT after some time of using. I have to mention that after using a rival tablet(I won't mention the brand) no similar warming happened .

After the official Gingerbread update for the GT-P1000 I am kind-of glad that Samsung are not touching the ol' 7".
I too prefer to put my faith in the development community. Look at Technomancer's CM7 port. That ROM really kicks some ass.
Opensource FTW!!!
We know that the Galaxy Tab is a powerful device as much as other devices that has been upgrade coming soon. This movement isn't good for Samsung because everybody will not trust in them. I think they have the best hardware in the market, but actually there are other companies that have work too hard, as Sony Ericsson.

Used the Galaxy Tab P1000 before... changed to EVO3D (Asian edition cannot be hacked)... regret it to the max... who the hell wants to unlock the bootloaders from htcdev.com and void their warranty.. .definitely not me...
HTC, nice build quality, but really for a 1.2GHz dual core, it still kind of laggy... probably my hacked out Tab P1000 works much smoother... plus, with all the hacking and flashing and bricking my device TWICE, still manage to get warranty repairs by Samsung...
had the EVO3D for only 2 months.. just got rid of it and bought the shiny new Galaxy Tab Plus... this dual core tab really kicks some ass... and manage to root it easily...
multi tasking on the fly.. do you see the bar at the bottom, click on it and easy access to mini apps over your current running apps.... Nice...
I am never a brand fanboy, been using HTC since like forever, but the increasing "LOCKED" bootloaders philosophy by HTC is getting on my nerves... they forget, many gadget freaks are buying Android phones for their "customization and being open source"...
at time being, will stick to Samsung, and will put my faith on XDA developers to bring this device to the next level... long live XDA Developers...

Same here. Never had a Gingerbread update here in Australia (but that's my carrier's fault, I think) so jumped straight to Overcome and haven't looked back, apart from the odd dabble in CM7 and a quick run with Honeycomb.
I'm more than happy to wait for the devs to release an ICS build which will probably end up better than anything Samsung could've done anyway.
Long live Samsung.

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.

JB for the Note II has been out for a while now. Note II specs are remarkably similar to SGN10.1 specs. JB with Note II multitasking competes well with W8. The current configuration not so much.
So, open letter to Samsung. Time to push out the JB OTA now! You are going to start losing SGN10.1 users to W8 devices. Get your act together and OTA us dammit. This is a new device. We should NOT be made to wait like this. Pisses us off and just bad business for you.
And if you are delaying us just so your W8 devices can get a foothold you are going to have some unhappy early adopters on your hands.

We paid the price for the ICS and it has been updated anything else is just yet to come when Samsung thinks it's ready and or the right time for them.
Yes, it's always a good idea to try to put pressure on a company to release software they don't think is ready. I mean, we all know they develop things and just wait and wait for no reason before releasing.

I wouldn't expect JB out anytime soon, with 4.2 out last night Samsung probably has to start with the OS base all over again but if they had gotten to the apps then at least those are a quick copy paste but with less devs working on the S3 and Note 2 version as it is practically out we will probably see the update coming through in December late November unless they give us 4.1 and we wait for 4.2.

One may say it's a little early but I had started a petiton to Samsung to provide an update to our Galaxy Tab, either to JB or to ICS but with proper user experience and by that I mean better battery life, better reception and fixing every bug that the recent update brought. Here's the petition text:
" As we all know, Samsung didn't include the Galaxy Tab in it's Jellybean update roadmap. I think that's quite unfair, because there are a lot of slower devices, even by Samsung, that got their update (and have similar market age). Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 had it's market debut on may 2011, so it's a 1,5 year device. In mobile world one would say it's old, but independent developers shown that it's capable of doing a lot of things that newer devices are capable of. One of such features is the ability to run Android Jellybean (4.1). Now we all know that it's easy to argue that Android Jellybean with Touchwiz UX won't give a proper user experience (it won't be as fast as it should be). I'd ask, why not let the user choose? As far as I know, the American version of Galaxy Tab 10.1 came without TouchWiz preinstalled, and no one complained (the update with TW was given but that's not the case here). Now part of this petition is to try to make Samsung develop an update for our Tab with newer version of Android BUT I know it is hardly possible (mainly because of money involved - they prefer to sell a newer model). So I'm also asking Samsung to fix that crappy update they had given (the ICS one). I would like them to know that I'm NOT GETTING PROPER USER EXPERIENCE (crappy battery life, low wifi & 3G signal, etc.) with that update and it's not because of old hardware and such. It's because they didn't work hard enough. I would be happy if you sign the petition, even if you don't own the Galaxy Tab 10.1 because it is important for the community. Thank you!"
And here's the link to the petition:
http://www.change.org/petitions/samsung-mobile-update-the-samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-4
Please read the petition and sign it if you agree. Also please spread the word, the more the better. Also if someone knows an email to some Samsung decision maker somewhere in Samsung's HQ in Seoul, please provide it here so I can add it in the petition.
Also please leave the topic clean of OT.
Thank You!

Bravo !!!

You joined XDA in 2007, then you must have known that this is the "Android Development" box. There's no development in this, posting this in the General Forums maybe more appropriate.

Hopefully an update.
I think you guys are wasting your time. When has a company ever changed their minds from a petition. End of the day, sales is what they are after and providing support for old products is pointless.

Actually this method has worked on some devices. Do your research. That is all.
