Why dont u wait for galaxy s3??? :what::screwy::banghead:
[Galaxy S II General] ewok666:
Not ICS because it's not Sense 4.0........Definitely one of the dumbest comments I read lately. Thanks ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] v1rtu4l:
no they have not. nobody is forced to anything and it was just a verbal agreement that "if applicable" updates should be delivered for about 18 month. if samsung wanted, they could simply say that ICS does not work as good as they want the user experience to be on the galaxy s2 and call it a day.

for the "we did not pay 500$ for a samsung flagship to stay on gingerbread", YES YOU DID. you bought it "as is" meaning with no leverage at all in regards of probable future features. this is again the case of people trying to avoid to take responsibility for their actions. if you frickin buy the phone with gingerbread and have no special contract with samsung that says you will get ICS you are not entitled to anything FULL STOP

it's like in the wage negotiations in your job. if you ask your new boss "will i get more money if i do good work here?" and he replies with "yes" as long as it is not written in your employee contract you have no leverage.
[Galaxy S II General] ewok666:
Very strong opinion so here are a few points:

- I bought this handset expecting it to be upgraded to ICS

- I believe it is reasonable to EXPECT this

- I'm sure I'm not alone with this opinion

- If Samsung, or any other vendor, chose to NOT upgrade the high end handsets then that will soon enough become their problem because I'm sure other vendors WILL provide updates

- If Samsung fixed some of the bugs and issues in Gingerbread (active sync wake locks, bluetooth crackling, cr*p email client to name a few) then I'd be happy to wait longer

- If Samsung and others did not customize the vanilla Android as much as they do then they wouldn't have such a hard time adapting to new releases

- If they don't want to release updates in a timely fashion then give us the sources and information required and get lost....

Just my 2c.

Thanks

on the end of the day sammobile is just a dutch guy probably working for samsung service provider who does this in his spare time to get another dollar or two so what do you expect. its not a company !
[Galaxy S II General] msaraiva:
And why won't you flash roms from other regions? It's not like you need a XEU one.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Quite simply I cannot afford like others to take the risk of voiding my warranty on a £400+ phone. I have never flashed a phone in warranty and never am I likely to.

[Galaxy S II General] sulligogs:
Hi all,

I've been excited about the prospect of ICS since before March 1st. I only got my S2 a month ago and I'll be damned if I have to flash my phone with a custom ROM just to experience it. Being on a 24 month contract, with no insurance, really isn't worth the risk of voiding the warranty.

Having said all that, here are some questions for you all to ponder on:-

1) Will ICS be better or worse on the battery?

2) How many existing apps would cease to work?

3) The FAQ about not having Flash built-in or Bluetooth 3 HS, a few pages earlier, if it holds any weight that is, suggests that there will be problems with the ROM. Would people be prepared to put up with such problems?

4) Do people realise that the Face Unlock feature of ICS is only a gimmick and not to be taken seriously?

5) Does Samsung have a plan to have as many impatient customers void their warranties as possible? After all business is business and time not fixing phones is money saved.

There's nothing wrong with Gingerbread. I remember flashing my old San Francisco, which ran Froyo, to Cyanogenmod 7 and was really impressed, but the novelty wore off after a few days. Maybe I'll wait for the bugs to get picked up first before taking the plunge.
[Galaxy S II General] ewok666:
Whatever, I'm just opposed to the 'Samsung didn't guarantee anything' theme. All phones have bugs. If you try to 'research' and find one without then good luck. The only way to find out is to buy it and see for yourself. No one tests what happens to battery life with multiple active sync accounts.

It's not like I care about the money. I'll just sell this one and buy a HTC One X. I would have bought the GNex but 16GB and no SD slot is stupid (and anyone who talks about streaming needs to seriously expand their horizon). When I don't like the HTC I'll just get another phone....

What does **** me off is the fact that there are no ICS phones worth buying right now and Samsung have not even announced their new model.
[Galaxy S II General] sikcool:
Sorry dude, but the latest leak LPH doesn't have those issues :)
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyhall1bmx1:
ICS for Galaxy s2 will be available before 29th May 2012 depending upon S2 variants and regions, I9100T will get the ICS last among the other variants. There is no fixed date given by samsung for ICS official update.
[Galaxy S II General] :
Source? Press release, Tweet, Facebook message. LINK?
[Galaxy S II General] jonnyhall1bmx1:
I read it somewhere on an online forum, some android forum or something it was posted about a hour ago aswel so its upto date info !
[Galaxy S II General] zzzit:
Thinking for sell my SGS2 to buy HTC Sensation with ICS)
[Galaxy S II General] LNJ:
LPH is bullet proof so far. All we need is the source to drop. I don't care if a newer version comes out or not!
[Galaxy S II General] jpbl1976:
It does and I didn't list all the issues down. The simple fact that you have to flash multiple kernels just to get your device to work at 'stock' functionality means LPH isn't bulletproof by any stretch.

That's why I said a final official ROM is a better all in one solution.
[Galaxy S II General] jpbl1976:
In case you're serious -- i have one and wouldn't recommend it. The sensation with ics is a nice device but the sgsII even with 'just' gb is a superior device.

That'd be like trading in an e350 for a prius just because the prius is a hybrid.
[Galaxy S II General] sikcool:
What do you mean it does ? Stock LPH doesn't have any problem with restoring app using titanium backup (need ROOT access), and move app to SD, or FM Radio.

And who said that we HAVE TO flash multiple kernels ?? LPH is just working fine :D

If you search in this forum then you will know that those problems are not because the Stock ROM. :)

Edit:

If you already know the cause I think you would not expecting the official ICS will be different, except Samsung releasing their source code :)
[Galaxy S II General] rab1412000:
Exactly, and although I'm eagerly awaiting ics, there isn't a single feature in it that I'd consider truly essential. In fact I could live with gb till jelly bean if that offered better battery life and much better security.

C'mon Samsung sort it out. Just release source code instead and let XDA release a decent ROM!!
[Galaxy S II General] luislm:
I suggest you not to sell such an awesome smartphone. You might try ICS in your smartphone by installing a CM9 ROM. Although it has some bugs, you might even use it as a daily ROM.

By the way, Samsung seems to delay the update for the S2 in order to increase the numbers of his Galaxy Nexus device, as it is the ONLY Samsung smartphone with official ICS. So, it's a selling point for the nexus phone. The S3 seems to help the delay as well.

Really? Apple told you they were disappointed in how they didn't hit the market with the 4s and iPad 2?

Matter of fact, the 4s did extremely well in sales and so did the iPad 2.

Apple is not competing on hardware specs and they never did!

Not everyone is a geek and wants the best hardware.

Companies just need to know how to market their products!
[Galaxy S II General] trifonwifon:
Absolutely bull****!

1. Ics have better battery life

2. 99% apps working

3. BT 3 work, but flash is questionable

4. Face Unlock work from version XXLP1

5. The warranty can be returned !!!

Is ICS available for download VIA KIES this morning? One of my pals just emailed and said it was? Can someone check?:confused:
[Galaxy S II General] coversnail:
This is wrong, if you flash custom ROM's onto your phone you have voided your warranty. You can use tools such as triangle away and jigs to attempt to hide the fact you've flashed and these can dupe service centres into thinking you're entitled to free repair but legally you aren't and you should never assume that you can.

I think warranties are one of the main reasons phone companies aren't more helpful to the development community. They shouldn't have to pay to repair people phones when the user has flashed something stupid or experimental. And when developers create tools to hack their systems which detect this is it any wonder they don't supply the source code to their proprietary libs and drivers?

I've signed the petition asking Samsung to release their proprietary source code to aid developers but perhaps we need to offer something in return like accepting flashing roms invalidates warranties and agree not to use tools to try and circumvent this.
[Galaxy S II General] trifonwifon:

They must have had it for months before that also to get it running on SGN.

Just do not change the fact that not releasing the ICS...:D

It's not because Samsung was implicated in the Galaxy Nexus that they could just take the code and code for the SGS2... There are possibly contracts and constraints limiting them from doing it. And the Galaxy Nexus' hardware is not like the SGS2... On top of that, the SGS2 has tons of variants in hardware.

This was my experience with the AT&T Galaxy S variant, Captivate. They kept delaying Gingerbread, it might be out by now, maybe not. I can't stand TouchWiz and use custom roms anyway, but having an official release definitely helps, as reoriented roms and kernels just aren't as efficient.

Seeing the official Samsung progress report video of ICS was a little disappointing, since it hid all the new features of ICS behind the TouchWiz veil.

I'm not getting my hopes up on this rom for its usability, but what the devs can get out of it.
