Thank god somebody said that. Wowie! Its a cell phone. Do you live in it? No.. do you eat it? No.. does it blend? Yeah... but. Is your SGSII essential for life? I think Most would answer no. But that's an assumption. It is no more a right to receive a firmware upgrade than it is your right to have government pay for your cars oil change. That's my opinion . Also.. the update is coming. Seriously. Its coming.

[Galaxy S II General] tameracingdriver:
I'll ask again... what will ICS make your S2 do that it cannot do now?

Give Samsung a chance. Besides, it will be skinned with TW anyway.

Given that supposedly this forum should be filled with fairly intelligent people, why not just flash a de-odexed ROM and a ICS theme? Thats what I've done, and I'm in no way a developer. If I can do it, anyone with half a brain cell could.

If you aren't prepared or can't do it, perhaps you may be on the wrong forum.

Some really whiney people on here.

FORGET ABOUT TW 4.0 / ICS UPDATE FOR S2 N NOTE WILL COME WITH TW5 N TRUST ME IT WILL BE LIGHT SKINNED N LOT DIFFERENT THAN TW4.

samsung are not fools to give tw4.0(it will be an year of use) with ics.
[Galaxy S II General] tolis626:
Best post in this thread.Hands down. :D

Bolded part is the flaw in your post.Do you think many people around here have half an active brain cell?Nah,I don't think so. :p (No mudferret,this one isn't said for you)

Well,all this talk is actually a big pile of buuuuuull****.So sorry guys.Yes,Samsung ARE obliged to give us an update to the latest version of Android.Yes,they are obliged to do it in a timely manner.No,they can't do it right after the sources are release.And finally no,they can't give us a half-frozen ice cream for Christ's sake!

Android ain't Windows guys,get over it.It's more like Ubuntu.Someone else prepares it for you,but you still gotta install it yourself.Windows is proprietary,closed-source.Android and Linux are open-source.Get to know the difference.

Please,I'm trying to follow the ICS threads,and I guess many people do too,but all I see are people fighting over it.I'd ask that we all try to get along,but I know that's not possible.But could we behave at least like the big kids that we are?Pretty please?

Thanks for your time. :)
[Galaxy S II General] doctor1991:
Sorry but I think you are wrong! I think that the first letter refers to the device:

J=GS1

K=GS2

L=GS3 (maybe)

If you look on the GS1 subforum you'll see all the lastest stock Firmwares from Samsung called JWZ/JVP ect.

However, no one will know it for sure...only Sammy ;)

[Galaxy S II General] Wiley87:
I thought people whined a lot back in my HTC Hero days.

Jesus I was wrong.

I'm sure all the devs are looking forward to the release of ICS so people can realise not much is actually going to change, resulting in the same threads asking for "WE WANT MOAAR".

This phone is one of the fastest, if not THE fastest on the market, it doesn't need an update.
[Galaxy S II General] knightnz:
Wow.

I dunno about you, but when I bought my HTC Hero, Nexus One and SGS2, none of them had a "Free upgrades for next x years" sticker on them. I certainly didn't buy them expecting it, and unsurprisingly, apart from a couple of minor point-release upgrades (2.1 to 2.2 etc) support vanished fairly promptly as I would expect it to do so for any piece of consumer technology.

If you buy anything and EXPECT the company that made it to keep giving you FREE updates to it for any significant length of time, then you're dreaming.

As for the PS3 argument, given that they're still selling the same device (albeit repackaged) several years later, well of COURSE they're going to update it. When was the last phone you bought that had a shelf-life greater than a couple of years?

If you're so offended by the small delay that you may have to endure to get a slightly different UI and some minor new features, then sell your SGS2 and buy a different phone that you believe will receive the updates, wait for either CM9 or a "stable" ICS leak, or wait until there's an official update in their own good time.

Virtually none of the manufacturers are abiding by Google's request NOT to add their usual BS release-delaying skins (TouchWiz, MotoBlur, Sense, etc) to the things, so you're not likely to win going elsewhere.

It's only a tiny percentage of their market who will be crying for this, it's not in their interests from a financial perspective to waste too many resources on this when they can put their work into selling new physical hardware which is going to be significantly more profitable.

They're in business to make money, not friends. They're also not interested in giving too much support to the dev community for much the same reason, it doesn't make them enough money to offset the resources. Handing out the SGS2's to TeamHacksung a few months back was purely a PR ploy judging by their complete lack of any ongoing support (such as driver source) - whether it worked in their favour or not, you'd have to ask them.

[Galaxy S II General] -A-P-M-:
I don't care when Samsung will update SGS2 via KIES, because we will have true and much better looking ICS much sooner. I tried leaked ICS, but TW is not only step backward compared to stock ICS, but also step backward compared to my current setup: Cyanogen 7.1 latest Nightly with ICS theme + GO Launcher with ICS theme, which looks much closer to stock ICS look ;)

I posted a solution in another thread about rooting from a Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion) here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=20440129#post20440129

Basically you need to modify the Linux-Mac.sh shell script in the Skyrocket Easy Root package.

You need to add a line to the script, "$adb wait-for-device". It goes after the "echo 'Wait for phone to reconnect...'" line, inserting as follows:

echo "Wait for phone to reconnect..."
$adb wait-for-device
$adb remount

It worked fine for me, but I don't take any responsibility for it.

[LG Optimus 3D] omid_freesky:
thanks for the sarcastic tone. I know there are 3D YouTube videos and I've been using it, what I ment was an app that's built specially for this. just made easy like this Phereo 3D to view and download 3D videos. there are thousands of apps in the market and there might be one for 3D videos only.

what do you think?
[LG Optimus 3D] Alex Atkin UK:
I couldn't resist. ;)

Anyway, there is precious little decent 3D content for TVs let alone what I would expect to be an even smaller market, 3D Smartphones. So I would be surprised if there was an app specific for this.

I have an LG TV and Sony 3D Blu-ray player and the 3D apps on both those are pretty rubbish, its mostly movie trailers and random clips designed to show off the effect such as short wildlife videos. So I can't imagine them bothering with Android when they haven't even made a decent effort for TVs. So far, all my 3D content comes from either YouTube or Blu-ray.

It's not instant...if that's what you mean...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eNomineZerum:
I believe that is because the GNex has built in memory. Anytime I tried to transfer data from my Thunderbolt with the card inserted it would be slow. using a connector I was able to transfer ~30GB of data in roughly 1.5-2 hours. The file transfer says to expect 10+ hours to transfer 20GB to my GNex.

I was on another site and saw a suggestion to turn on USB debugging.

I was in the process of transferring a movie (1.24 GB) and the transfer time was about 1 hour for an hour and 45 minute movie. I followed the suggestion and the time dropped to 8 minutes!!!

The actual time was less than 5 to copy to my GNex. Hope this helps...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jmurph3:
I've always had my PC tell me to expect a time that was way longer than actual transfer time. I don't think it'll take 10+ hours.

Hi everyone!

The first release of the upcoming CM9 will be called #1 beta or #1 nightly - correct? Its the first time I've seen a non-manuf dev team come out w/ a rom before the manufacturers themselves come out w/ the OTA! Kudos to the CM team.

With that being said, some users are justified in being patient and sticking w/ the time-tested, stable and honored tradition of CM7 until their team releases CM9 w/ all the basic functionality we have come to expect.

I will be joining this group of users until then, and I advise you to do so as well to protect your Nexus from evil gremlins..

I tried to restore a backup I did before I tried to install Google Wallet because every time I reboot I get a box that says "Android Is Updating" and then it proceeds to "optimize" like 100 programs which takes several minutes. When I try to restore it says that the MD5 sum is invalid. Any thoughts?
