Take this with a pinch of salt as it's far from official but:
Gaurav Hasabnis, an industry analyst and contributing editor of Fonearena.com posted on Twitter: “Something gonna come in Jan 2012. #sgs2 users gonna rejoice!”, followed by a second tweet: “Soon Mali400 gonna be in full use.”
The mentioned Mali 400 is the name of the GPU on the Samsung Galaxy S II. Rumors states Ice Cream Sandwich will utilize the the full potential of high-end smartphones better than previous Android OS, which leads us to believe that the ICS will be making its way to the Galaxy S2.

Hurray...I said January last week....
Hope this is true.. SGS2 will rock the smart phone business more!!!

Thank you for the heads up. Hope GS2 will not take a long time to upgrade like the Samsung did for Galaxy S.
seems to match up with this
http://www.lifeofandroid.com/news_detail/ice-cream-sandwich-to-debut-on-android-handsets-in-weeks/
The worldwide release of Android 4.0 will begin in time for Christmas with Google’s Nexus S smartphone meaning the new OS should be broadly available for all compatible handsets by early 2012.

They hvn't even released the 2.3.4 update in India.Jan 2012 s too early a date for us i guess .
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
If they won't release it officially, I'm sure we'll get a custom rom with 4.0 running as soon as the Galaxy Nexus is launched But good news, anyway!
Just think. If it's January 'officially,' then it could be December (or earlier) for us!
That's a great news. Though I think we'll get ICS unofficially before that. Anyone?

Wow this is great news. Now android is a step closer to WP7 and iOS in handling resources. +1 HW acceleration
Even if we are not getting the official update, i am sure xda developers will cook one for us.

Didn't Samsung drop development of 2.3.4 as they started 2.3.5
I still haven't got any official updates from 2.3.3 on a SIM free handset here in the UK.
Samsung UK have also tweeted that there is no time frame for getting ICS on the SGSII (read in to that what you want)
Think custom roms will be the only way forwards on ICS for some time.
Well that announcement is about Official release, NOT unofficial one. 70% users use Official ROM and like them, existing use this and that. Without a Stock ROM there won't be any Custom ROMs? Would there be?
Count me in those 70%.
We'll sure have some custom rom runnig ICS before the official one but I wonder what they'll do about touchwizz...
Looking forward to it
So Jelly Bean is anounced but when will the S3 get it?
What is your oppinion?
Leave your thoughts. Or if you have news of update it would be great.
Samsung insiders have apparently said Q3 2012 which is any-time between now and end of September, most likely true.

That would be saweeet. I'm not saying that I don't believe you because I want this to happen, but given Samsungs track record with this, I'm a little wary. Maybe since Google and Samsung have been courting each other for a while, Sammy has had access to information that will help them get out releases earlier than usual?

Whatever reliable info you hear about release just add 2 months because Samsung's always late.

There is a very big difference. My only concerns are how well will the smoothness seen in the Nexus with the stock launcher carry over into Touchwiz and how or if Samsung will integrate Google Now since it does some things that Samsung has tried to do with their own software.
I think I am possibly one of the only people who doesn't give a sh!t. Not sure why. It comes when it comes and I'm happy with that.
When ics is stable then I'll worry about jelly bean.
are you guys ok without flash support on JB?... that's the very reason why i won't upgrade even if it comes early...

Why would you "worry" about jelly bean when ics gets stable? Think of jelly bean as an ics+ that makes ics better.. Wouldn't it be good to have? I don't think ics is getting more stable when 4.1 is here..

This might just be a minor fix. Wi-Fi issues, radio fix, cleaning up of bugs, optimisation. memory fixes....but, i wouldn't stop dreaming.

Let's pray that it will be jelly bean.

Jelly bean?

Even if it's jb, it will take a few months to land in the phones. It's probably a few fixes and some optimization as already said which also may never be released.

Jelly bean a few weeks after ICS drops?
Not a chance.
Why would Sony have put all the effort into ICS if they were just going to release Jelly Bean shortly after that?
as version numbers are pretty must same.. (6.1).. my guess is just some fixes..

Yes i've installed it , some improvements like :
Album now show photos instantly
More sensitive touch
Less ram used
But it is same build 6.1.A.0.452
So 6.1.A.1.58 is really new update
Since the new version is 6.1.A.1 instead of 6.1.A.0 I would expect something more major than WiFi fixes.
Increase the 452 for minor fixes is more.logical.

Hi,
Yesterday manually updated my Galaxy S3 which was on stock ICS (Never been rooted) to Jelly Bean 4.1.1 using odin (Got the firmware from Sammobile), but the camera and the gallery app seem to be the same as in ICS.
But when i go onto the official jelly bean website it says they have updated the camera app and the gallery app. Anybody know about this and how to fix it?
Thanks in Advance.
I think they meant in terms of performance rather than appearance, the Note 2 is the only device I know of that's got a decent gallery app lol

I checked there website again, and its says:
"Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich, made snapping photos super fast; Jelly Bean brings that same speed to the next step: viewing. Just swipe over from camera to filmstrip view to instantly view the photos you just took, and quickly swipe away the ones you don’t like. Now sharing — and bragging — are a breeze."
But on mine you can swipe or nothing its the same old app from ICS.
What's the website?? because I'm sure that's not a feature of our device

My man, you are looking at the features of AOSP based ROM and comparing against Stock apps..that feature is present in any AOSP based ROM CM10 for eg. Samsung has made its own Camera app which is present in the Stock ROM...the implementation is different..so if you want the vanilla Android features try AOSP based ROMs and not compare it with Stock ROM..

Oh i see, thank you for clearing that up for me. But as i would like to stick with non-custom roms i guess i will not be able to get the gesture features in my camera & gallery app.

I'm sorry if I have spoiled your uptight high looking tupe thread with a simple question about an update that samsung mentioned was to roll out late september and others have already had, so I deemed logical to ask such a question in a forum that people much more up to date could potentially be inclined to answer.
I can put it in plain english for you in case you didn't get that.
Sorry for the inappropriate question. Ill stay clear of your lobby.

You mean G4&Xperia Z P V3.0? Yeah, it's really cool, I have used it for more than 10 hours...
Indeed, if you're looking to be on the cutting edge in terms of Android Version, you should definitely go for custom ROMs.
Some Stock-base ROMs (like Revo HD or Omega) are already running latest 4.2.1 leaked firmware from Sammy.
AOSP Roms are practically all on 4.2.2 by now, and some of them are extremely stable and fast (running Temasek v83... just out of this world)
If you're all about official OTA upgrades, then I wouldn't be too sure about April, they usually announce firmware upgrades a good month before release. That's what happened for ICS on S2, which is approx. equivalent to 4.2.2 on S3 in terms of product lifecycle.

I think so too
I think that Samsung will release 4.2.2 for Galaxy S3 only when Galaxy S4 will sell a lot. For now,I think that first we get 4.2.1.
why release 4.2.2 when they can release 5.0?
I think that Glebun just burned my head... lol. But I must say that I am totally agree with him.
uhm, what?
