Hi
I haired that software 16 is out, so I checked SE Update Service but it said that I already have the latest software, although I have version 14 on my phone.
How can I find the update?
Thanks

I'm in the UK on Orange and I am unable to update my x10i. Although I have heard that other UK customers on other UK networks have found this update to be available for the x10i's. Some of this may come down to the provider maybe??

Yes. It's provider based. But Telenor in Sweden has the update since I've got it. However, my phone isn't locked to Telenor!
Telenor Norway got it
I bought mine from Expansys UK SimFree and it is showing 14 as the latest version available for me.
how does this work exactly? if i put a Telenor simcard in my phone it will be upgradeable? what happens if i unlock my phone? will i never be able to update it ?
why cant i just use the SEUS which right now says there is an update but cant install it.
after two years of iphone this sort of updating is very strange and old. where is the android itunes?
I have 1.6
i got mine from carphone warehouse and i show me its upgradeable and it did upgraded to 1.6
I got the update downloaded to my PC... is there anyway of installing it manually?
i4rsh: it depends on what brand of SW your phone has from the beginning it does not rely on the simcard. So if you buy it with Telenor it probably has the Telenor SW in it.
I have the same problem, so i called SE and they say that it seems to be some tech problem with update service atm. So wait until it is solved.
Does anyone know if they're going to release an official Vodafone ROM upgrade? I've contacted Vodafone and they sent me a text with a link for the orange ROM upgrade??? I was also told around mid-October that it would be released in a week??
are you sure they didnt send you to THIS page for all downloads, , , on which currently the top entry is the orange 3.14 rom? (and is also the page that any carrier 3.14 roms will appear)

Yes samsamuel, it was. I would have preferred it if they'd just said keep and eye on the hTc website, as that's what I've been doing for about 2 months anywez! Thanks for the reply m8. They sent me the following email:
Hello Paul,
Just to let you know that prior to releasing or approving any software update for our Vodafone customers who have bought a handset through Vodafone, we test it thoroughly to ensure it provides customers the best possible experience on our network.
Our testing process begins as soon as we receive the software, which often happens once the manufacturer has already released the open market version of the software.
During the review process, we report any issues with the software back to the manufacturer for them to address. Once the firmware is approved by Vodafone, we return it to the manufacturer and they will then distribute the software to customers through the appropriate channels.
We undertake this process with every device that we sell to customers, regardless of whether or not the handset contains Vodafone branded software.
If you have purchased the device from another company (Phones 4U, Carphone Warehouse etc) it is possible that the device may not be on the Vodafone version of software. In this case the manufacturer would be in control of releasing any future updates.
I trust the above information helps.
Kind regards,
Pravin Raut

Vodafone is so bloody annoying. I remeber it was released first on vodafone rather than orange, so how come orange got update before them. They had released ROM for HD mini, HD2 might be on the way....... no good vodafone !

I agree. I can't understand how orange got their update out before voda? Not only that, they then go and release a ROM upgrade for the hd mini? I just hope it comes out before year end?
Has anyone yet received a phone from either an Orange shop or via their website/head office?
And if so how was the "bloatware" situation, what is your rom details and was there any orange branding on the device itself?
its available to buy through a new contract, but is still comming soon as an upgrade feature :/
i hope to get mine through at the end of the week, unfortunatly, just been the victim of card fraud, so have to wait for the bank....i will keep peeps posted
I actually get mine tomorrow so can look then, I was just interested to see if others had one already
I do know (from what the executive office told me today) that they have had 2 deliveries now but both have been very very small, first batch sold out in minutes and second batch was expected to do the same, thankfully I had one saved for me as a priority customer.

I get mine tomorrow, will let you know.
Just curious, wouldn't you root it and get a cleaner rom anyway?
I DO know that the phone does not come with NFC chip
Orange had no clue, so I called Samsung and eventually got the answer that only the USA version has the chip (which we know is not true, but suffice to say,the Orange one does not)

Yes I will, but just wondered anyway.
Some people are currently investigating if the phones do in-fact have NFC included just software disabled. Early signs indicate that they may include the chip.

Yeah, I was thinking it would... partly to explain why Orange took a month longer than Vodafone to supply the phone. Also Orange have some initiative with some bank and another phone of theirs that has NFC, so thought SGS2 should have it too...
Mark.
I upgraded through Carphone warehouse a couple of weeks ago. Mainly because, at the time, Orange couldn't confirm when they would have it. I got a sim unlocked non-Orange branded SGS II! But it's not difficult to debrand and unlock the phone anyway...
I picked up one from the Orange shop in Kilburn London last Saturday. Didn't expect them to have one but asked the manager of the shop anyway who said that there was a delivery just made and he'll go check.
I was delighted when he said there was ONE delivered, yes just one? What's the point in that?
Anyhoo I'm a happy chappy ,there was a lot of Orange bloatware on it and sorry I can't remember the firmware as I flashed Lite'ning rom on it as soon as possible to get rid of all the Orange crap.
Admittedly I took out a second contract to get this phone but I did get it from the carphone warehouse on orange and my handset is unbranded and unlocked. I will never go to an orange shop to upgrade ever again, no orange branding is great!
Well Orange somehow screwed up my order (something about system thinking they had more handsets than they actually did) so my order was processed but there was no handset to send out..so I have to wait for them to restock.
Hey Lenny, picked mine up from my local Orange store in W-S-M this week
I ordered one last Sunday, just been told stock arriving Friday.
Could somebody with an orange SGS2 have a look and see what free ram there is at stadby please? Just wondered if the orange bloatware affected the amount of free ram available.
Thanks
Ian
Just got of the phone with orange, 5000 phones turned up today, once everyone is checked the will be in stock after the back orders are filled.
Looking at the 22 for them to be sent out !
I purchased a Motorolla Atrix 4G from eking (a local online store in NZ that seems to have now gone out of business) a couple of months back.
It is a AT&T phone. They have purchased it in the US, and sent to Hong Kong to be ROMed with the HK software rather than using a unlock code. I found this out when I rang them about something else. My problem is that this leaves me in a situation where I don't know exactly what they have done to the phone.
Today I got a message on the phone saying that a system update was available, I assume that this is the gingerbread update that just came out and have read about.
Does anyone know how to tell if it is safe to upgrade? Eking are being douches when I email them saying "I think you’ll have to do the update manually if you want, it won’t work with the automatic update from the moto website. Please be aware there’s risks updating your phone, it might cause system failure"
Model number: MB860
System version: Version4.1.83.MB860.ATT.en.US
Let me know if there are further specs you need to help me out.
Was just reading that orange branded phones are having 2.3.5 today (UK)
Anyone confirm that? I'm unbranded i would of though I would have it if they do
And yes I know I can root and do it myself, is Kies just rubbish at updating!?

I can confirm 2.3.5 for Orange, mine popped up yesterday
Samsung Kies informs me of 2.3.5 ( Middle Eastern XSG ) since a week but I don't use the stock ROM.
I got 2.3.5 KI4 trough KIES a long time ago (21.10.2011 judging by when i downloaded cf root for it) and i never had any problems with KIES, exept for it requiring 2gb on C drive ALWAYS -_-
I got KI8 2.3.5 through kies on Friday night in the uk

Exactly why I made the post I'm unbranded so one would think I would be one of the first, compared to branded headsets due to the carriers Modding the update.
I'm surprised so far it seems quite random
My phone is also an unbranded (pl plus early batch), so I'd say you got something weird

Updated my unbranded sg2 to ki4 via kies last sunday, and my sg1 to 2.3.5 as well via kies.Strange thing is lots of problems for the first time ever eith my sg1, but its now almost undistinguishable in speed to my sg2, which, by the way has hardly changed for the better exept for portrait video , worse wifi,phone signal,gps and loss of message skins . I wish I hadn't done it.
Had my phone about a week,
No update when i first got it,
installed a few roms etc etc... then went back to offical stock for uk three, and ki8 popped up.
Havnt taken the update yet, not sure if its even worth it atm and was a little unsure if i was ment to be offerd it, not heard off any other three users til now.
Three, vodafone and orange have updated their fw to 2.3.5 you will need to check what csc your phone by putting *#1234# into the dial pad, mine is xeu which is unbranded and still no updates yet.
Won't let me add screen capture to show my phone info.

I have got 2.3.5 via kies for my sgs2 on 3 mobile.

how random it seems to be for the unbranded handsets...
Ah, my code is XEU too, so I guess mine is unbranded too. Very strange, I always thought that unbranded phones got their updates first?

It's not random, simply put Orange, vodafone and three in the UK have it, Samsung have chosen not to release it to unbranded sets yet..

Ok random isn't the right word... but i've never had a unbranded phone that recieved updates AFTER the carriers?
Like I said though, I could root if I was bothered, I'm just curious, and I would love to know what the hold up is
Sorry not able to edit my earlier post, but just got back from Scotland and checked my gs2 and its only 2.3.4, kies has written the information in a format I haven't seen before instead of the usual three entries, I have four all no gaps and smaller font and because of the mix of XX and XW I thought I had 2.3.5. Still wish I'd kept my earlier firmware though. Sorry if I gave any one false hopes.
Still no 2.3.5 official update over kies for Ukraine (SEK) ((, what do think guys, will it be soon?
