I have not heard anything about it. Is there any word on such an update? Do you think we'll actually see one to take us to 4.2.1 officially?

I was reading something that in february we will get the 4.2 version.
I'm sure since the Note 2 shipped with JB and the GS3(even US variants) got updated I'm sure we'll see an update to 4.2 eventually. I wouldn't say anytime soon though because they just released the update to JB for the GS3 not too long ago. I know on my AT&T GS3 I have a fully functioning build of 4.2.1 with everything working for the most part, just not all the features of AOKP are integrated. Task650 in the AT&T and Samsung Galaxy S series is an amazing developer and I've been running his version of AOKP on my GS2 i777 and GS3-i747 since I've had the phone. Even though AOKP is offically supported for the AT&T gs3 by bajja or whatever his name is(sorry I know you deserve more respect than whatever his name is but I don't have time to look it up lol...so I appologize) Tasks build is the most popular and even includes some extras like the LG Optimus G lockscreen which is awesome. I wish he would build of a version of AOKP for the AT&T Gnote 2 lol.

It is still too soon to discuss about that
But rumours say 4.2 will be available in Q3 next year...
I believe that we will get an official update to 4.2
But this could also be our last official update.......

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.

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

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?

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?

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.

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..

In January is when the carriers are due to release the stock JB updates to our phones. Recently there have been JB leaks from Samsung for GS3, GS2, and N7000 with new TW nature UI. These leaks are supposedly the same files sent to US carriers to make there updates for US phones, it's what they use to add all their bloatware and remove features and then send OTA updates to us for our devices.

The general public is scared of messing with their phone. They don't wanna risk messing it up. So they suck up the official updates, realize how bad they are, come here complaining about how bad they are,then realize they should've just flashed a custom ROM in the first place.
We will most likely never see an official update for our phones. ATT has already EOL the device and beyond the 4.0.4 update have no plans on updating the device any further.
After the last update from ATT, i would never buy an ATT phone again. It felt like they wanted all of us to upgrade, go through lot of pain and break our contracts(and probably get into a new one too). Most of us who upgraded were out of the 1 year warranty period as well. Not sure what ATT was thinking when pushing the upgrade.

All the carriers do the same thing. This is the main reason I only get unlocked devices and have done so for the past 10 years or so.
does anyone know if 4.2 will ever be on the DNA Officialy?
I am assuming they are waiting for 4.3 and then they will just upgrade us to that.
The HTC Butterfly is getting 4.2.2 with Sense 5.1, so the DNA likely will as well.
I honestly doubt the DNA will ever get official 4.3 but you can bet your ass it will get unofficial CM10.2 or whatever they will call it. My bet is on official 4.2 seeing as the butterfly 4.2 leaked.

I disagree...I think HTC will be forced to update the DNA to 4.3 because Samsung has already promised 4.3 and 5.0 for the GS3 & GS4 and HTC cannot afford to lose anymore of the market share due to not updating their flagship (or older flagship in this case) phones. Hell, the Rezound just received a pretty major update last month, so I have faith we will see 4.3, but I doubt we'll ever see Key Lime.
As for dates as to when we will see 4.2 officially, all the credible rumors I've herd put it in the June/July range; which means maybe this year if Verizon is true to form.
Well at this point we don't even know if key lime pie exists. Kinda hard to know updates when they aren't even officially announces yet.

Right. Im sure HTC's marketing team will get better in a matter of months. The DNA is no longer being marketed and Verizon will not want to update it. I guarantee you that the DNA will not get official updates after 4.2 (unless the next device is similar to the DNA but I doubt it. Either way, we have almost fully working unofficial 4.2(CM base) and many derivatives(PAC, Revolt etc). I don't really care if we get official 4.x because it can just be done unofficially (because sense is ugly and stupid).
Personally I love me some sense, its why I buy HTC devices, I will use a Nexus for aosp. I think we will get 4.3 although I'm not saying it will be official. I feel confident we will get a 4.2 update, but its too early to make the call on 4.3. Heck HTC updated the thunderbolt to ice cream sandwich and it was an antique by then so I don't think I can say either way what they will do until we know more about 4.3 and sense.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I am going to be unusually optimistic and say it will get 4.3 at least. I mean look at the fact that the Original Droid Incredible, though small, got an approved update from HTC/Verizon. Say what you want but this shows that there is some pretty good hope we will see 4.3 and maybe 5.0. Our phone isn't even a year old yet and the original DINC got an update in the past several months....Tells me to be hopeful.
