Hi all,
I have seen that the Tizen update for gear s3 has been released. However, here in India no sign of release has been noticed. I am curious that what can be the tentative date for Samsung to roll out the update in India.
Thanks.

Because Samsung Tizen is a completely different OS from Wear OS, you should try the correct forum, like the Samsung Gear S3 forum. :good:

Hi Guys,
I want to install stock Android 2.3.3 or 2.3.4 on my Samsung Galaxy S2. I do not want any customization from Samsung. Plus, I want to get Android updates automatically from Google like Nexus S gets. Can you please advice if there any way/ ROM, I can install. I bought this phone on contract from Carphonewarehouse.
Thanks
this cant work because of device related drivers mate. when google releases a new android version, samsung has to work on it like all other manufacterer.

Moved to Q&A.
No you can't just randomly get updates like the Nexus S. If you want that, buy the Nexus S.
Thanks! What's about other mobile phones with stock Android? Do they get updates like the Nexus S or that depends on their manufacturer (after few months)?

Only stock Android phone that gets updates straight from Google are the Nexus 1 and Nexus S. Google do not support other devices, you have to depend on the manufacturers for that.
If you wanted this you should have bought a Nexus S.
I don't think this is true, but well you never know, was reading this page and it's says official will be in Feb-March?

Unfortunately I think you're only reading what you want to hear. The Note 1 is no longer supported. It will not receive an official update anymore. The page you link to is referring to a custom rom based on android 4.4 kit kat. Check out this link. It says what samsung devices will be getting the update and when.
Here's the gist of it:
First Batch of Recipients
Samsung Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3 are expected to get Android 4.4 KitKat firsthand and will directly benefit from various new system enhancements and improvements.
Second Batch of Recipients
After Galaxy S4 and Galaxy Note 3 received their updates, two former flagship devices will follow - the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2
Excluded Devices
Sadly, there are several popular devices too excluded from Android 4.4 KitKat update and it includes Galaxy S2, Galaxy S, Galaxy Note 1, Galaxy S2 Mini and Galaxy Minis. Due to the 18-month update window strictly followed by manufacturers, Galaxy S2, Galaxy S and Galaxy Note 1 are unable to receive any further updates but owners may resort to custom ROMs to get latest features. Galaxy Minis are unable to receive such upgrades due to hardware issues or incompatibility to the upcoming version of TouchWiz UI.
Sorry for the bad news.
There seems to be little consistency on to which phone will actualy work with Samsung Gear Manager paired with the Gear S.
Samsung own words on the matter seems to be "Samsung phone with Android 4.3 or later", but let's be honest, one could ask Samsung the same question twise, and get three answers back. I should think the voice of this community would give a better indication on what works and not.
Could someone with permissions greate a sticky thread for this, so we could fill in phone model,maker,firmware, watch firmware and Samsung Gear Manager version. Along with a description on that experience.
Sprint Galaxy S5 (stock root) - 4.4.2
Gear S (Sprint variant) - R750PVPU1ANJ7
Gear Manager - 2.2.14102499
GS is running as I had hoped it would. For my needs/wants, its a great experience. Only problem I have is with email. Im unable to compose email. But I can reply. I just need 4.4.4 on my S5 and it will work. But this fix is not high on my priority at all.

If you have a Samsung device (phone or tablet) that is 4.3 and above and not compatible with your Gear S, chime in on their FB support page. Maybe Samsung is not even aware of these issues.
phone model: Note II
firmware: 4.4.2
watch firmware: r750tuvu1anj7 (t-mo version)
Samsung Gear Manager version: 2.2.14110499
Seems to be fully compatible.
Hmmm
All Galaxy phones running "official" 4.3+" are guaranteed to work, it's just that the available features will depend on your connected phone's model, and various versions of the required software on your phone as well.
To compile a full list of who has what phone and what does and doesn't work would be a massive undertaking!
I agree, they shouldn't limit some features to some Galaxy phones and their respective Android versions. But it's stated clearly in the manual and in the promo materials.
Note II (VZW): SCH-i605
Android Firmware: 4.4.2 (R3ds ROM)
Gear S: AT&T version
Gear Manager: 2.2.141102499
Samsung/Galaxy Apps store (this matters too): 14093005.02.008.1

Well, yesterday I contacted Samsung support spesificly on the Young 2(SM-G130H) - 3.5", Android 4.4.2, BT, WLAN, GPS, Cheap:
"Shure. No problem. Android 4.3 or newer"
So I went to the store today and tried apps.samsung.com/gear (URL from the frontpage of Gear S the quickguide) from the Young 2:
"this devices does not support Gear. "
Well, my contribution is that the Young 2 doesn't work
disclaimer: yes, I know the Young 2 is garbage, but I only wanted it for firmware update, syncronise contacts, transfere apps and music. Nothing fancy.

Cannot always go by what a Samsung Rep may say. Same goes for many carrier reps.
For optimum performance/connectivity, you'll need newer and much advanced Samsung Phone. Using older/cheaper devices will more thank likely not work (or be very limited in use).

THIS get a S3 or newer then your good to go
Samsung has done an excellent job delivering the Android 5.0 Lollipop update to the Galaxy S5, turning a new page in the book of Software Updates. We already know that the Android 5.0 Lollipop update will be provided to all the galaxy flagship devices including the Galaxy Note 4, Galaxy Alpha, Galaxy Note 3 and Galaxy S4, but it seems that Samsung might be planning to show a little love to its mid range galaxy owners also. In a new report from our sources at Samsung, it has been indicated that Five Mid Range devices are also being considered for the Lollipop 5.0 update. The devices that were lucky enough to make it are – Galaxy Grand 2, Galaxy Note 3 Neo, Galaxy S5 Mini, Galaxy Mega 2 and Galaxy Grand Prime.

If Samsung releases Android 5.0, then I might be the king of the UK as well.
No, Sammy won't.
Dismiss the rumors. Does anybody remember the rumored Sammy Poland list showing the Grand 1 as a candidate for a 4.4.x update?
Forget it.
We needed it
Stop Spreading SPAM in all the post demoralizing people.

nice our prime will get lollipop
My sm-g7105 hasn't received the 4.4 update yet.
Do you think the touchwiz nature ux 2.5 would be upgraded to 3.0?
So guys, now there shouldn't be any hopes left of getting an official lollipop update.

great ... lollipop is an excellent version of Android ... we hope you will reaffirm this here ....
24.80 mb update fixed the bugs but no lollipop for grand 2
Guys 24.80 mb update was a clever update by samsung as they were planning for big os upgrade for this device but due to huge number of devices releasing every year, hence they were unable to provide the upgrade and just sorted the bugs with this minor update. You may say its the last grand 2 update. Here is the source website:https://www.justaboutphones.com/sams...ate-cancelled/
