Should I get an s2 (Fast reply thanks) - Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I currently have a Samsung google Nexus s running the latest stock android 4.1.2 should I swap it for a Galaxy s2 today ???
Cheers Marcus

yes

Go for the I9100G the TI OMAP S2, if you want fully working AOSP with project butter the International due to Exynos processor lack of sources may not be supported after 4.1.1

Nexus update come from Google so they get updates.
But s2 comes from Samsung. So maybe after jb you don't get anymore updates but I say MAYBE.

Ace is not there but s and s2 will get it next year.
Well CM9 is our only hope then
EDIT: 1. This is old
2. S is not in the list, its just a guess by people, official only include Note, S2, and the three tabs
Eh. Nexus one will not get Google's update. Nexus one uses adreno 200. Ace uses the same, and Ace is SAMSUNG. So we'll most probably not be getting it.
There are some devices missing from the list, however, it does not mean that they will not get *this latest OS upgrade

Official(if it even comes) will be touchwizzed, will contain lots of bloatware, and will probably be not much like the AOSP one, so why not hope for CM9?

No ICS for Glaxy S

http://zomgitscj.com/2011/12/23/no-android-4-0-ics-for-original-galaxy-s-tab/
I know it is not related to SGA but it reflects there's very less probability of getting official ICS for our device

The question that eating me is what Touchwiz has to do with ICS ? Why Sammy keep mentioning Touchwiz is the reason b/c of which these devices are not compatible :S Can't it be removed ?

because if they put vanilla ics on it then it will be called Nexus S as both of them have same hardware only GOOGLE name backs up nexus...
and samsung dont want to update it as 18 months past releasing S as its not profitable to those *****es
man , it is known that there is no official ics for galaxy ace , this is clear
but there will be porting of cm9 to ace by the developpers here in xda

New 4.1 Android - THE ONLY JELLYBEAN THREAD

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...ean-will-be-coming-to-the-galaxy-nexus-first/
Google's let a bit of info slip a little early via the Play Store. When purchasing a Galaxy Nexus via the site, while checking out, the device is listed on your order as "Galaxy Nexus HSPA+ - The latest smartphone from Google, soon the first phone with Android 4.1 Jell..." This marks the first time the name Jelly Bean, and the version number 4.1 has been referenced publicly.

I would'nt be surprised if galaxy s2 doesnt get the update. Im guessing at&t will eol(end of life) the galaxy s2 before jellybeans is out.
Atleast i can guarantee my galaxy s3 will get it
Oh My....I'm in the middle of an ICS update. Should I pull the USB cable from my phone before it's to late?
i will get it before all of you on my galaxy nexus. then i might think about bringing it to my sgs2.

not sure why you would want to update to an outdated, buggy, tw version of ICS. OTA's from ATT are pretty much useless. we've been ahead of them for months now.

Is it worth rooting gs2 when jelly bean is coming soon

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
