Hi everyone, today morning when I take my phone in my hand after awaking I had see a popup was appeared which says New firmware & software updates are available for download and install.. I was really feel glad that I m going to make my device Kitkat 4.4.. anyways I had start downloading, first the firmware has downloaded which was 22mb data download and install with my permission. . Device rebooted and after reboot a new popup appears with software updates, which was 138mb data.. I continued this download also and installed quickly.. device rebooted again and install all downloaded software data.. after all of installations I goes into about phone to check what have I got.. that was really shocking for me that I m still on 4.3 jellybean.. I have checked out my whole device and nothing new I had found.. I don't understand what the hell of this update affect on my device.. no one new app aur setting I had found.. the bugs of 4.3 are still irritating me as previous.. I don't know what kind of joke samsung sent me in shape of updates.. we all Grand 2 users are waiting for Kitkat update since last 2 months when a rumor appeared on Internet about Kitkat update for samsung Galaxy S3, Note 2 and Grand 2 also.. and today I got this useless joke.. what do u think???

It's true about the waiting but SamSung hadn't never said officially about kitKat for grand 2.
Also there are many phones which doesn't get updates.
And also keep in mind that kitKat updates minimum size is for moto g (i tHink) ie. 230 or something. When touchwiz modifications are added it will be 450mb+
Thanks for information and comments.. this is not an issue that we have got Kitkat or not.. my actual issue is that what I have got in this so called update??? All apps are same as previous, all settings are same as previous.. the known issues of 4.3 are still we have.. so what is this kind of update??

Hy everybody, I need all the possible help here. I got a huge problem with my s3. Since a bought it I've never received an OTA update even though I should have received 3 of them (2 ics 4.0.4 and a 4.1.1). Always updated via kies or at least Odin. Why? Never rooted my phone, everything has always been stock. What's the problem? Second problem(the worst for me) is "app update notification". Same thing here, a never receive notifications in case of an update even if settings are set to notify me and automatically update but nothing. The only way to update my apps is to go inside the store and check my apps. Only if I reboot the S3 sometimes I receive a notification. I've tried tons of hard reset or deep cleans but never solved the problems. Is there out there a genius who can help cause I'm going crazy about these two thinks here. Please help me. What's the problem? How can I solve it? Thanks in advance.

I understand what you mean. But try to do a Factory reset from the Phone itself under Setting-Backup/Data and then Wipe Data/Cache and Wipe Dalvik Cache.
Once you have done so. Re-flash your real Firmware through ODIN and make sure your device status is not Modified.
If the above does not work then Go into Emergency Firmware Recovery from Kies, type in the details and it will restore it to factory settings from Manufacturer then update it via kies or OTA.

Bumping is against the rules ..
OTA you may have no OTA or the vendor is not pushing updates OTA .
Like i have FOTA and Kies removed on my phone as standard as i use XDA firmware .
Your best bet would be to check the vendors forums re the OTA update disabled and check a Samsung forum for Kies updates .

Same thing here, my tab is still on laggy 4.0.4. I wrote an email to samsung customer service why we still didnt recieved update when most of the world yes and instead of an staight answer to the point they wrote me how to check in settings if my phone has the last update, like if they were thinking im an idiot , definitelly they wanted to avoid answering the question.

You guys should update it with some custom rom, easy as that.
It's hard to brick the tab if you follow the guides...
I spoil Galaxy Ace board three times within the warranty period and replaced. OMAP platform seems more reliable than Qualcom.
Very bad service from Samsung for Galaxy Tab 2 - no updates, single way to update - is custom ROM installing. But if you will brick your device - it is impossible to repair. This is answer from Samsung service - only main-board replacement available for software bricked device. Even it is impossible to repair with JTAG when XLOADER broken.
So it is my badly experience with Samsung - really i never buy Samsung again. My choice is Nexus products, i have bought 2 devices. Very quick Android updates, don't need to experiment with custom ROMs, etc...
also wanting to know this.
there are no custom roms for my tab at all.

Should've selected germany upon first activation... literaly within walking distance of the border, and yet the update is now 4 months later not available here.
Screw that, I'll stick to Asus. Say what you will about the TF700, it at least has 4.2 now.

Samsung provided Galaxy S II users 2 major Android updates (Ice Cream Sandwich and Jelly Bean), a device which was released in April of 2011 and initially shipped with Android 2.3 (Gingerbread), and finally ended its support in May 2013 (25 Months).
Its now 100% that we will not get another update... but it’s time to accept the fact that the Galaxy S II – which is perhaps the best device Samsung ever made – is going to be stuck on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean forever.
So sad :banghead::banghead::banghead:

Thank you carl i already emailed you
is it possible, that our device will get roms for the next two years for example?
or does the sofware change in a way that cant be ported to the "old" s2?

Have a look in the neatrom lite thread in the s2 android development section, it is fairly simple to install if you follow the instructions on the first page, make sure you do a backup beforehand.

I think devs should now eye the port from galaxy s2 plus. It was launched on 4.2 and might get update. So if the port can take place then I think we can still carry on with this beast for a year or so

I just installed the latest version of Jelly Bean for my device I9100XWMS1, for me this version is very very awesome, phone never hang, and never hot, also Battery last very long, and it fixed my Bluetooth and cam problem that i had in older version, i recommend it for everyone...
it support english and it's unbranded so it will work on any carrier.
i can't post link because i have less than 10 posts because i'm new,
if anyone want it, you can find it online or you can send me a message and i will give you the link..

For those who updated to kitkat by side loading ; How it's the update behaving ? Few folks have reported couple of issues with kit Kat. That was one of the reasons I waited for the official update
The current jelly bean stock is quite stable ; though the battery drain with dual Sim and 3g is slightly on the higher side
