1 month is not long at all. Should i remind you that the Xperia Pro (not the mini pro) was delayed around 8 months?

Besides, what is all the hype with ICS? You wont realise what is going under the hood, the UI will be exactly the same as it is now... Just because it is new doesn't mean its better, most of the times. Remember the bugs 4.0.3 had? the Changelog for 4.0.4 has some hundreds of changes to it from 4.0.3... So yea...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ashwinsadeep:
Sony have delayed the release of the ICS for the Arc S, Ray etc to mid april... So i guess we will have to wait a whole lot longer, more like mid june or something...

May be you should try some unofficial builds....

AOSP build by kamarush is really stable and i am using it on a daily basis... well xcept for hd recording...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] phoneyericsson:
That's exactly why I've started with the custom roms for this phone. Stock SE runs perfectly, obviously so I didn't want to leave it until custom 4.0 were v stable. My fav is this:

If I am restoring my device should I delete all data?(data, cache, and dalvik cache )
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Phalanx7621:
I do. But its not necessary.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ryude:
I never do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mfreywald:
I never clear before a restore since it's all pretty much overwritten anyway. Only thing that might stay the same is dalvik. Does anyone know if that is included in a nand backup?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BeenAndroidized:
Depends, if you no longer need the data, wipe it. If you do then don't wipe.

@ mfreywald - If I understand you right. If your nanodroid back up it on the phone then yes. If it in your SD card then no.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alacrify:
I run jivy's kernel cleaning script (wipes cache and dalvik twice) before any restore or flash - might not be necessary, but I've NEVER had a bootloop or other issue like that since I started doing it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] quarlow:
Ahh, the old "kill a fly with a sledge hammer" philosophy. I'm in that camp too. A few extra seconds in CWM can save a headache later. A habit I picked up on my Captivate. Between each flash I wipe data, wipe cache, wipe dalvik twice, and generally format system.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jasond816:
I do not. Kinda pointless since you are rewriting the rom when restoring anyways
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Ghstudent:
not mandatory but I do anyways just to be safe. it is kind of like the "safely eject usb" function on windows. nobody really uses it because it isn't a mandatory thing; but there is always that 5%
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] synenergy52:
This is what T-Mobile estimates. They say ICS is rolling out currently in the UK on GS2 devices and he expects it to roll out within a month on our devices. He said this will include the blurry MMS fix.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hiz99:
This is fantastic news. I can't wait to get some stock ICS roms
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] ebatr8:
Unless your speaking to someone in charge of the updates T-Mobile has no idea when ICS will be deployed for the GS2. The sensation ics has already been out for a while yet they still haven't pushed out and last info we had was that it would be going into testing soon as well as the amaze that was over a month ago. I highly doubt the t989 will see ics soon officially.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] AJ26T:
Totally agree no customer care Rep or tech Rep know when ics is coming. Heck my buddy works for tech center he even asked the support team that's in charge of testing and they dont even know so sorry to burst ur bubble
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] xsteven77x:
I believe your telling the truth its just that there is no way anyone you talked to had any clue what they are talking about. Also hell will freeze over before we get it in a month.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MrKnitty:
Like I stated earlier last week... ICS isn't coming til Fall 2012 its an known fact.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] deathknellx:
Of course with the weather and the end of the world coming, he may be on to something.

It's a fact, 30 Helens agree it's better to wait for your Ice Cream Sandwich.

But then again, with the Skyrocket leak we might be closer than we realize. Of course, it will drop when it drops so I'm not holding my breath in the meantime.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Muff Burner:
While I appreciate your "spreadin the good word" n all, the rep was probably just eager to get off the phone :S
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tdizzle404:
For what its worth and I have no reason to lie

For what its worth my friend works at tmobile and they had a meeting about ICS "lol" and said that ota's would be rolling out at the end of April. And that is what the reps are to tell the customers. Maybe we will get a leak he also said that Samsung had released it months ago for our phones. I guess t-mobile is just bloating the crap out of it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] relldroid:
Interesting, yet part of me wouldn't be surprised if T-mobile didn't release it until next year, we may even get the 2.3.6 ICS update from them. I'm no longer interested in the anticipation, we should all focus on SR ports.

Cause lets face it our revs are amazing :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MrKnitty:
T-Mobile Developer I know..., it was suppose to come in may but since the T-Mobile apps isn't working they not releasing it til the T-Mobile apps work correctly because Samsung has a contract to fulfill with T-Mobile apps. Til they get it to work on the T-Mobile SII no ICS.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] CincoDeDrinko:
Deeerrrppp

Not to be the "I know a guy" -guy. but "I know a guy" an Sammy Regional Sales Exec. -in the U.S. mind you, they are shooting for mid-month April and expected to have it released for sure by the end of 3rd/4th week (T989 Hercules) at the very latest. I don't care what you believe, just think all you people need something else to do, all ICS rumor guys out there. They are still only a couple weeks behind their scheduled goal they had stated in November, pretty standard. And hit the Q1 goal for a bunch of S2 handsets... Truth also is they didn't even start adjusting their goal of releasing the Galaxy 3 at the end of April until this week, which means that will be out in the next 6 or so weeks too. about a month after we get our update and about a month + before the iphone 5 release. If you think I'm crazy show me your DERP face and we'll talk again in a month so I can send you one back, and sales works on different floor, basically different world from the developers so I've got no info on why the ICS hasn't been finished yet? and carrier reps (T-Mobile) are the last to hear anything for obvious reasons so figure that one out too...duuurrrr

One would think that this would put pressure to release earlier than later to not be shown-up by home grown entheusiasts.

Since tmobile has a marketing team , they should realize by now that upselling through bloat is propably not as successful as theu think. How many prople would choose to subscribe to a navigation app when google maps is free and awesome? There is a reason people spend the extra bucks on an unlocked intl phone that is bloat free than buy one from carrier. I think when that general population decides to do something about it they should peition to not allow bloat if signing a contract. In relation to updates , i think having to wait for carrier to fix their apps to work with updates is just garbage. Take away the bloat and theyd be able to keep up with the rest of the world.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Dark Nightmare:
Funny that T-Mo's app says it's compatible with ICS, though this guy says otherwise.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iwasblown:
wait until they make international phones compatible with Tmobile's 4g network, I'm switching to the full priced unlocked phones to save incredible time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] drewtang:
I get "4g" on my gnex, not the uber fast speeds, but it's certainly satisfactory. And I'll have to agree, as a T-Mobile rep, we have heard NOTHING about a release for 4.0 for this device. Sorry to burst your bubble.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] blackangst:
No, what's funny is so many people know someone who knows, yet the dates are inconsistent. We'll get it when we get it. Nothing against the devs trying to get Ports done, but I personally won't be installing ICS until its officially released for our phone. I personally don't want to use a 90% working frankenbuild.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jim93:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RetroSA:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] robo21:
Speaking of Armageddon, I heard from a buddy who knows a guy who's married to a girl at Samsung who's in charge of supplying Tmobile. He says that Armageddon and ICS will both rollout on 12/21/12...

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Rekzer:
I have a hunch itll be this month. Telus changed their ICS upgrade info from 2012 to 'Coming Soon'. In my experience they do that when something is only a month away at most. When i was waiting for this phone to come out, they changed the coming soon notice around 2 weeks ahead of time, same for the HTC amaze. The GNote more recently...

Well i agree. They represent their respected company. If a csr tells you something wrong te customer treats it as the company messing up. I sed to work for a telecom company before and beleive me . If you leak something your not supposed to and deviate from the script, it can be a pita to fix it.

Congrats on your decision. If being the first to get updates is that important to you its the right one. Go ahead and throw your gs2 on Craigslist to offset the cost of your new phone. You should be able to get $300-$350 for it.

[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alunral:
Ever since upgrading this to a rooted and custom ROM(Android REvolution HD, right now), I've been having issues with any sort of computer connection. Most notably, anytime I connect, the internal storage mounts, albeit it oddly takes it a while to accept that files are there and display them, but the external SD card never properly mounts. It can display information about the SD card, even how much data is used. But it shows absolutely no files on it. Is this an issue with the SD card(I'm guess it's not since even the internal has problems), and how would I fix this?

[EDIT] Noticed a question related to Media connecting. Is there any way to access files on the internal and external SD card using something like Total Commander?

Play store knows of a similar issue, but I haven't found anything like this in the i777 forum, and maybe I just screwed up when re-entering my Google account after wiping. I've done everything possible with my Google account, including resetting the password, so i know the account works, at least. Am I missing the easy fix that everybody knows about? Any advice?

Try loging into your Play Store from the computer and see if it tells you differently.. My experience with it in the past, it will show what you have brought when you log into the Play Store. Then you can do the option to have it re-install from there.

The worst part is that I'm not sure I have that known issue. I had the play store working properly (* at least it appeared to be working...) until root/wipe, which I did the day this issue appeared. **** luck or coincidence? Probably both...

Any other i777 users with this problem?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] alacrify:
I had similar issues when I would use TiBu to restore, but instead of just doing apps, I did all apps and data - it would screw up the market links so it didn't know what I owned any more. Being careful to only restore missing apps + data has taken that problem away. And just rooting shouldn't have done it.

Unless you restored "wrong", I'd wait and see how well Google responds (they're not very good at it, sadly).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mgd76:
Thanks, but I didn't restore at all... I never bought TiBU before rooting (wouldn't have worked, right?) so that was the first thing I did after root. Then I noticed that my old apps had prices again. I thought I would be able to re-download them...
