ICS rolling out in Europe? Really? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi Folks,
i just had a look on the german samsung facebook page.
I asked about news regarding the ics release date for the i9100g.
They pointed me to an answer they gave last wednesday.
They told us, that ICS for the i9100g is actually rolling out in other european countries. (others than germany)
My Question now is: can ANYBODY confirm this?
I'm afraid i know the answer right now ... So please - tell me that I'm wrong

no usable ics for i9100G.
updates:

Ics its not released yet.
Just wait and be patiently...
Samsung its busy with the sgs3

It's possible if there are some country codes that we don't know yet, unlikely though.

i know that is isn't released yet - that was why i'm wondering about the answer i got via facebook - and i just want to verify it.
So we can summarize: Samsung Germany is definitely not telling the truth

Carphone warehouse UK is rolling out ics with the i9100 very very soon. I work for them so i can confirm this

Dude, this is not a questions forum or a forum you have any business posting topics in.
Use the General or Q&A forum. There is even a dedicated G variant Q&A stickied to top of thsi forum, It doesnt take a genius to work out where you should be posting, Just take a look at the topics in the dev forum, does yours resemble anything remotely like those?

hm - so i'm wrong here ... cool
had a look into the mentioned q+a sticky ... looks more than a dev-sticky ...
anyway ... if you are that rule-fixed - simply delete my thread and ignore the "news" - seems nobody is interested in a new / other ics leak than the chinese one ...
thanks for the warm welcome! *thumbsup*

If you want to post "news" put it into the correct section and you may get a better "welcome".
Common sense dictates that when you visit a forum you look for the most appropriate forum for your topic. If you had done that you would have quickly noticed that this specific forum is for developments from devs and not for questions or non-dev topics. This is why we also have dedicated general and QUESTIONS forums.

Bull****
Stupid rumor. Why do they shouldn't release ICS in Germany but ex. in UK should ? LOL. Btw, ICS is still unavailable at all, maybe some test versions in Asia. When ICS will be officially available, then absolutely in all countries.

ICS is available in UK via Samsung Kies. I re-stocked my device week or so back to Gingerbread and once connected to Kies it updated to ICS.

Maybe I'm reading the wrong thing, but from your screenshot and a translator, it would appear Samsung told you it was in test phase, with no exact release date set. Am I missing something?

No, they didn't. Samsung told you it's in test phase, some random fan site told you (after probably misunderstanding the question) that other countries in Europe have it.

If we talk about the I9100G, then ICS is not released at all for that model. Sooner or later it will. Just need to wait an official update in Kies or sammobile.com. P.S. if your question is about the G model, then post it in right section, cuz i'm distracted...

What is the right section? The i9100g dev subforum? the thread was there and was moved here ;-)

ICS really until start of July

Just checked motorola's forum and one of the motorola's staff answered to a question that "Upgrade should be available before the start of July, but delays are possible."
I hope it is really so near...
see here https://forums.motorola.com/posts/53dca74967
delays are possible
Moto, delays? You are more than 6 months behind stupid
They are only saying that it's possible. If the servers get hacked, there's a delay. If the power goes out and some data gets lost, there's a delay. Right now it seems they are ready to release, but it is possible that something out of their control may happen.

How do you know that was a Motorola Employee?
Furthermore, that was specifically in response to a question about ICS in India. That may or may not be accurate for the rest of the world.
First off he's asking about ICS India which doesn't have the same ETA as USA/Canada. Second, I don't go on the motorola forums ever but how exactly do you know that the "servbotx" user works at moto? I see no indication they're a moderator or administrator of the forum so how can you verify what he/she is saying? Could just be an troll/random guesswork

First off - I am from EMEA so I don't care about USA/Canada from this point of view.
Second, I am visiting moto's forum quite long and although moto's forums are technically bad and don't have visible user status, I know that servbotx IS a forum staff...
I just posted what I found on the official forum and we all will see if it was or wasn't true (and to be honest is I believe what he says much more than some bullshits about the ics on this forum...) - in a nutshell - you don't have to believe it if you don't want to... ;-)
I would not be so optimistic, anyway let's hope there will not be anymore delays

If you have significant amount of code being lost(more than 2 hours of work) because of power outages you are doing software development very wrong.

Current Official Firmware Release

Very Simple questions here.
What is the current official firmware release for the AT&T Galaxy S2?
What version of Android is the most current?
If your GS2 is not registered as your current phone, can you even do OTA?
Kies does not seem to want to give me anything later that the CCLE5 firm. which is 4.0.3
thanks in advance

As a follow up, I keep reading reports that 4.0.4 has already been released for ATT GS2, any thoughts on that?
these reports being mainly cultivated news hits from googling "galaxy S2"

It has.... For the international version of the S2. Official release for the i9100
Sigh, moved to the correct thread.
Very Simple answers here.
What is the current official firmware release for the AT&T Galaxy S2? Google Search
What version of Android is the most current? Google Search (wiki)
The third question is harder to search for... But can be done.
See answer 1 and you wouldn't have asked question 4.

Can anyone tell me when will i receive the JB update..i live in Sri Lanka

Don't think you can get answer here. Any answer here is just rumour anyway. You should direct your question to Samsung India.

It will update when samsung devices it's the right time and rolls it to your region (you bought it from france, that means when france get's it).
If you are extremely inpatient, flash the half complete Polish official firmware, probably out to shut people's mouths and tell them to wait.

Modem by region/provider

I would like to open this tread to report which modem is working well for you in your region and for provider.
I am in Spain + Orange. Device bought in Dubai, currently flashed XXKH3 and slight increase of the signal visible. Still testing, but it seems better than stock XXLQ5. After finding out which is the best, I will update this post.
Any suggestions about good XW (Spain) modem ?

Then you must not be searching very well. Anyway sammobile has a complete list of downloadable modems specifying what region they are intended for. There are a number for each region. Its just up to us to pick the one that works well for us.

[Q] new newbie GS3

Good afternoon gentlemen.
I recently picked up a GS3 here in Thailand. Man I like this phone. I rooted it, have clockwork mod and Titanium backup. Been familiarizing myself with these and some other settings. Cant put it down lol.
I live 6 mos in Thailand and 6 mos in USA. I plan to bring this phone to America and use it there in summer. Any tips on that would be appreciated.
Model # is GT-I9300
Android Ver. 4.1.1
Kernel Ver. 3.0.31-288630
Been thinking of flashing a rom or two also. Are there ones that would work here in Thailand as well as the U.S.?
Will my version of Jellybean work in the us if I do nothing?
Thanks in advance.
Jim
Yeah, depends on the carrier. Check what US carrier supports your phone's frequencies, and you should be fine. T-Mobile should work
And don't create duplicate threads.

All ROMs will work in US, at least they should. You can always flash a different modem if you face any issues.
