ICS to be released for Galaxy S2 on March 10

This is good news for us. The update is only for the International model of the Galaxy S2. With an official ICS release on hardware identical to ours, the talented devs over here will have something stable to work with. Check out phandroid for more info.

You do know that the details are also on Samsung's website as well right?

THought we get a ics update a month later? The china leak is fine until samsung release the notes ics. Hopefully a better leak will get released.
Wasnt the leaks for sgs2 used to patch up cm9 alpha build for note? I wouldnt expect stable until the notes version is released.

Until I've seen at least one more N7000 leak I doubt we're less than a month away from getting the ICS update.
I would expect to see at least 2-3 leaks for the Intl version before the real thing is released...

Here is the link to Samsungs anouncement for the SII

That's one thing I miss from iOS: instant updates. None of that waiting and uncertainty BS.
Galaxy Note FTW

so.I make a page on facebook:Samsung where is my ics?

Lol, I agree with the uncertainty it sucks big time. But, but wtf all of the Android phone company's does the same thing. The big mystery about Android is just that we never know what to expect, we might even get an alien biological phone from Google here next
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk

Worder why you guys talking about Galaxy SII in this forum, this is Note forum

because if GS2 gets ics,note will be next one.

And the big news is?? Both get ICS sooner or later

You will find that Samsung have since released a statement saying march 10th is not actually confirmed so this post is now nonsense unfortunately. no date has yet been set for the release.

Yes this is getting irritating now no update of 8000 in india to samsung service sucks big times idiots are not sitting in korea but ****ting in korea

if the lower spec tabs getting it then samsung crossed the line with taking the piss

This is quite humorous, as I just switched from a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 to a Galaxy Note 10.1, thinking that the updates would come thick and fast to the more premium unit!
How wrong was I!?!?!?!
lol!

I wonder if Apple's suit against the Galaxy Note 10.1 which is linked to how it will work with Jelly Bean has anything to do with the delay?

It's not set to go to trial until 2014. By then there will be a Note 10.1 2 or 3.

Be nice if all this wait brings an update with 4.2 instead haha.....I wish...=/

Jelly Bean 4.2 has caused a lot of issues for Nexus users. It might be a good thing Samsung is not rushing.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

No its not because if the Apple Suite if that was case no update would have been release and no we are not going to get 4.2 as we already have 4.1.1 updates rolling out and thats what we all will get

Well that is pretty disappointing to hear. Samsung have been pushing the note10.1 here in the UK recently with a big advertising campaign, I really can't see why they would be updating older products first.

Um you guys are aware that the 8000 JB OTA'S being released already work just fine with some minor fixable glitches on everything else right?
I am running the 8000 OTA on my 8013 right now with zero problems.

I agree. People may also see that the tab 2 is a second generation of the tab and think it is the superior product. Not everyone is tech savvy. I personally think Samsung is prepping a Note 2 10.1 to be announced in January that'll come preloaded with Jelly Bean. We may not see an official JB until then.
That's what my money is on. They just don't care about existing customers.

The Note 10.1 was introduced in August so there won't be another until next year. This is what Samsung does also with Galaxy S series, Note etc. Sorry for saying but there is no need to become paranoid due to the delay.

News what we all were waiting for :) :) S2 is getting 4.2.2

http://www.gsmarena.com/galaxy_s_ii...roid_50_others_get_stuck_at_422-news-5720.php
Samsung has proudly announced that our beloved S2 will ends at 4.2.2 not at 4.2.1.
So we all have to wait and see what goodies we will be getting in 4.2.2 :fingers-crossed:

hope it gets release soon and that we australians get it. we still don't have the 4.1.2 update

We will end at 4.2.2 but higher galaxy phone got an update of android 5.0
how sad

I don't see why we wouldn't get 5.0. S2 has the same RAM as the S3 and that's getting it, so surely it's capable.
Unless marketing of course!

Samsung is saying that Android 5.0 will need higher resolution screens. That's why they are dropping support for various devices, even for Galaxy Grand Duos which just released. It is probably a big fat lie so we can probably expect CM to work on it.

yeah, so where in that link did you actually read that Samsung has announced this? it's not even an official announcement, Samsung didn't even announce this. People should really learn to read better. I'm not saying this isn't going to happen, I'm saying this has been far from officially announced. so-called insider information isn't all that accurate...

Codeworkx already said 4.2.2 will be the last version CM supports.

I don't really care about 4.2, to be honest. Well, don't get me wrong, it's awesome that Samsung updates the S2 to 4.2.2, but that update isn't that interesting from what I've heard.
I'm more interested in proper sources...

I can't see anything interesting going from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2. Not bothered at all.

Great news indeed. Lets now wait for official announcement from Samsung themselves.

the guys interested if they want to read the article, here is
http://www.sammobile.com/2013/03/18...roid-5-0-for-the-galaxy-s-iii-galaxy-note-ii/
i think its good news

I think 4.2.2 is no more needed for GS2…4.1.2 had enough function for us…maybe 4.2.2's only adv is battery saving…
However,sam is good enough for an old model to give so much updates…
sorry for my poor English…

I love how the masochists in this thread announce how they DON'T want or need 4.2.2. The attitudes of some people ...
Going from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 will offer significant upgrades. Not least of all the lock screen widgets and hence the ability to use Dashclock.

Indeed ... also 4.3 does have some interesting features but nothing major from my perspective ... also i think they won't separate the editions for those major updates and they'll roll out them for all s4 together ... but that's only an assumption ... and i would be shocked if any s4 doesn't get 5.0 KLP update at all ...

Are your kidding buddy. Means now Galaxy S3 has rumored about 4.3 JB & you are talking about No to update of S4 to KLP.?

i saw somwhere that s2 got jelly bean update ... and s4 would not get an update that really matters? yes that would be shocking news indeed ... either from the community or from samsung eventually s4 will get that update ...
and also i noticed someone in this thread said something about a 18month commitment to google that OEMs should provide updates? never heard of that before ... is it legit?

It will surely get kitkat. Why it wouldn't? 4 months are ahead,so it will be shocking if Samsung won't do anything in these months.
S4 and Note 3 will get their Kit Kat and then it will come to S3 and Note 2 devices,I'm 100% sure.

S3 & Note 2 will get the KitKat bar !! In 1 or 2 months S4 and note 3 will get kitkat (stock roms have already leaked ) ..the in 3 or 4 months S3 will get kit kat ....dont 4get the great and mighty S2 which got a lot of updates and compared to S2 , S3 users are more !!

Hi, there is already a quites stable beta version of SLIM-KAT available for the GT-i9300.
It is based on AOSP 4.4.2 and more information you can find on the XDA-forum "[ROM] [4.4.2] SlimKat i9300 [beta Weeklies]" and their website "slimroms.net".

S3 is the father of mobile . its better than i9500 - and yes with cm you will always be updated and better than stock one.
