Does samsung intentionally delay 4.0.4 update? - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does samsung intentionally delay 4.0.4 update? (because they want s3 to have more softwate feature advantage maybe?)
I mean where the hell is 4.0.4? I'm pretty sure they have the update ready since s3 and s2 rom are very similiar..

Maybe. Marketing.

Have you ever wondered that they will never release 4.0.4? Just saying...

Its possible but updates always lag behind the latest Android version. Its always been the case whether a new flagship is on the horizon or not.

Yes. Purely to piss you off. It's a conspiracy.

what will 4.0.4 bring new?

Almost nothing usefull. But the OP thinks that 4.0.4 turns his phone into a rocket launcher.

Hahaha, clearly it is going to power the next space shuttle.

It may not turn any phone into rocket launcher but it is rumored that it will fix the problem of the e-mail app with the exchange servers and other problems that you might have not faced but exist Warhero141

It is fixed in WLPG, at least for me.

nothing to do with SGS3, how long did they took to launch 4.03?
this should be enough to know how long..........
4.04 brings many fixes in ICS, its the stable of all ICS yet

If Sony even released the 4.0.4 update for the low/mid-end xperia ray, and Samsung won't support/update a 1 year old high-end phone, i say shame on them!

What did you expect? They have to design consistent software across their product line.
XPlay-Swype
oh, was it meant to look anything like how it does on Nexus or is that a Nexus only deal, coz all icons are the same, dial pad etc.... ALL THE SAME
That is one of the reason I am still on GB ... and moved to MIUI GB now mate..
They dont want a change on their treditional touchwiz look.....but salute them for making the hacking very simple....lets find our own AOSP...
i'm on slim ics now.. it's pure google way.. but me too think ics gives nothing new.

You have to produce a model that is workable and usable by your customer base and their IQ .

anyone that expected samsung ics to be like stock ics is an idiot
ICS on gs2 is sooo disappointing. I'm on XWPL7 with Sayid kernel v3.1rc5. Looks almost the same and battery sucks and i get freezes and random restarts... wifi is flakey... I guess we'll be the guinea pigs for now
ICS for SGS2 sucks...
IQ? IQ has nothing to do with anything. IQ testing is and always has been a failure for testing ones intellect
Whiners go back to lovely GB and flash all the kernels you want to make the already fast phone fly and
Run quadrant and be happy

Are we getting JellyBean?

So yeah...are we getting an AOSP build of Jelly Bean it is going to be like ICS TW. Which I hate...if that's the case, I might as well switch back to a GNex...
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
Yes we are If you see cm9 is supporting the galaxy s3 but as soon as cm10 Will have it too, supply is easier to integrate jelly bean with ics
Sent from my SGH-T999 using Tapatalk 2
We might get CM10.
Is that in the near future or the far future? Becuae the source code just got released and I think TouchWiz is a ***** to be incorporated with AOSP or something like that.
And even then, I don't think all the features will work right? I think...
I just don't wanna get rid of this phone. Mainly for the Camera. I don't care about the processor at all.

Samsung announced that the S3 will be getting the update in Q4. So sometime before the end of 2012. I'm thinking end of October or early Novermber.
Of course we are getting both. We will be getting an official update from Sammy with TW and an AOSP rom from the CM team. Hell even old GS1 phones will be getting JB because where there's a will there's a way. One thing for sure though is you need a little patience; Source just dropped a couple days ago. Let these cooks spend some time in the kitchen and you'll be rewarded greatly.
Samsung is probably waiting until right around the new iPhone release to release gs3 with jelly bean lol

What do you think? Do you really think Samsung is going to wipe out TW because of Jelly Bean? We'll get TW Jelly Bean, and I'm sure CM10.

Slide notification bar short cut

Hi guys,
I've just found out that when you slide down the notification bar and the for example you keep your finger on wifi, data or bluetooth for 2 seconds it will take you to the settings of the selected icon.
I've never seen this on any review or read of it anyware. I'm on latest Ics Checkrom.
Thanks

Actually he is partly correct. It is standard feature for AOSP ICS and JB roms BUT Samsung has only implemented it in JB and not in ICS for the S3. So, you're the one who isn't reading.

Actually thats not strickly true i have always been on stock samsung ICS rom and it worked as a direct shortcut straight out of the box- has done since i got the phone. Found out by accident when playing with phone when i first got in - held wifi for a tad long (couple of seconds) and it went straight to wifi settings menu!! Useful little feature..
Hmmmmm just trying it now and it don't work anymore!!!! ... it deffo worked on the samsung ICS rom out of the box, Had a update via Kes a month or so back which put me on I9300XXLH1, I9300XXBLG8 4.0.4 so either that stopped it working or something i've frozen has stopped it!!
I know for a fact it worked coz i used it several times when i first got phone and was messing about with all the settings etc!

i rooted my phone but found lost calls and freezing of screen so i reflashed via odin stock firmware. but reading the posts not much is going on a few jelly bean ports , my question is when offical jelly bean arrives (october) when rooted what could we be instore for or does standard stock offer stability and safe usuage ,

I was very reluctant at first, but, my answer to you now would be YES!
yeah go for it, there is no gurantee it will be Nov anyway !!
Root it, have a play and then you can try some of the Unofficial JB roms now :good:
Official JB for i9100 will be released in November, not earlier.
So, try CM10. It's stable and smooth.

Maybe we should dream your dream, mate. It's a good one.
Root root root
Just root your phone! Even the Galaxy S3 hasn't received the update in most regions... The S2 is lower priority for Samsung. When all S3s get the update we should expect the update a week from then. JUST ROOT IT FOR NOW.
Next month, the new Samsung Galaxy S3, its predecessor the Galaxy S2, and the original Galaxy Note, are set to get their much awaited Android Jelly Bean OS update (October). Good news is that the Jelly Bean OS is the answer to security flaw of the TouchWiz UI.
This month of September, Samsung have started to rollout the latest Android update from the Ice Cream Sandwich to the Jelly Bean OS. Please note that the Kies-supported Android rollout is limited to the country Poland only. Samsung recently said in an e-mail that the company claims that more countries will start getting the Android Jelly Bean update soon and schedules may vary by market and wireless carriers.
So other than being able to use the latest Android flavor on the Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy S2 and the Galaxy Note, this Jelly Bean rollout to fix issued related to the phone’s TouchWiz. According to some reports, a hacker has confirmed that Samsung’s custom skin under the Ice Cream Sandwich update has added risk in allowing hackers to remotely wipe clean or disable any data on the Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note and the Galaxy S2.
Maybe it is because of this that Samsung already started the rollout to their new Galaxy S3’s to simply fix the said security flaw? The sad part is that not all devices are included in the list of phones to receive the Jelly Bean update. Samsung also urges their Galaxy S3 customers to download and install the said software.
Again, a post made by the Android Police stated that the Jelly Bean alone can fix the current security flaw. The said site also explained that “We have confirmation that this exploit is also fixed in Jelly Bean, as well, so any device running Android 4.1 should be safe.”

[Q] When will SAMSUNG release JB 4.2.2 for I9300 ?

Maybe on April ?
Who knows?
Once if the galaxy s4 is out globally, Samsung keeps an eye on s3. But still, it takes a month or two.

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?
i think in a couple of months "if" we get it at all
