i have a multi os boot setup, on my normal boot os(win7-64b) i allowed kies to update itself, then it would start it just showed a blank interface , just the kies window with nothing populated, phone would connect but thats it, i installed it on another boot partition and it worked just fine. so the initial update fracked up the registry somehow, so if i need kies i'll just boot into my other os and use it from there

hmmm. Kies apparently had another update today. I saw the update number posted above. Update completed and it's running fine for me. It recognizes and connects to my phone, though I'm on Sky ICS (UCLD2), and I'm on AT&T.

Try deleting them with CCleaner
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
Yeah, my phone connected & was recognised, before I restored the bloat etc... But, you may find that when you click on Tools & update, that nothing happens... I'd be thrilled to be wrong... If kies is going to work with your current setup.. Clicking on Tools etc should result in Kies being able to tell you what your current software version is & right below, you'll see the same version... telling you something like; you've got the latest version etc.

Sorry if I am missing something... But doesn't the at&t skyrocket have the option under About Phone, to allow you to check for OTA updates?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] highstarmobile:
Yes it does but as I understand the ICS update will be too big to do OTA. Ever since my last update Kies hasn't recognized my phone. Not sure how I'll get the update whenever it finally comes. Hoped the last Kies update would've fixed it but didn't.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
I wish that I could help you, but because in Canada we don't have the option of using OTA... We have to use Kies, so I am not familiar with how kies works for you guys.. But if it's the same deal... Your phone has to have all the stock bloat installed.. & unfrozen, stock rom etc.. forgive me if you have already mentioned that... You can have apps that require Root installed, you can have Root... So if your phone fits this criteria... Kies should not have a problem..

I actually froze a bunch of bloat and kies will still recognize my phone. I froze stuff like Days, Mini Diary, etc. I didnt not freeze social hub so? just an fyi because i hate bloat and i know a lot of other do too so that seems safe to freeze and still be good for update :)

Kies and Updates

My Kies has said it does not support my phone for software updates, ever since the update to 2.3.6

Any where we can download the ICS of Android 4 for AT&T Skyrocket?

The leaked 4.0.3 one, it freezes up making calls at times and if you use the Talk Vlingo software with your Bluetooth to make a call it freezes also. Got a bug to work out. Also it will not let you slide the sliders up to 1.51 on CPU using Set CPU as it did with the stock 2.3.5 or 2.3.6

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phil9000:
I've said it before and I'm saying it again, it's been my experience that Rogers

never

updates firmware. If users want the latest software, Rogers will be glad to sell them a new phone or make a phone upgrade offer.

Supporting updates is just a big pain in the butt for any hardware supplier. Moreover, when Rogers sells a new phone it includes performance warranties which it would not be able to meet with a firmware update (just think GB vs. ICS battery longevity).

Rogers has no obligation to update our firmware and, based on my previous experience, I really doubt that it will change its business practice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
And what phones were those experiences with? My Sony Ericsson x10 received updates, as well as certain HTC phones I know of.

What is this battery longevity u speak of? U can't compare a leak to an OEM release. And even if u did, for the record 2.3.6 (UCLA3) was the OTA with great battery life, I was seeing the same numbers with ics now as i was with 2.3.5.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] :
Final build ics will be much more efficient and if not then once source is out it will be :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phil9000:
1. Nokia E71, Motorola K1, Motorola Razr, Nokia (2X)

2. I wasn't aware that Rogers released the 2.3.6 update, I missed it. :eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] icenight89:
Not all of those phones are smart phones, and Nokia are REALLY bad for carrier updates, not just with Rogers. Many android based rogers phones have received updates.

Kies for 2.3.6, we don't get ota, I was speak about the AT&T release, but we have it as well
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phil9000:
Indeed only the E71, but updates were available for identical phones from other vendors but Rogers never released them. As I've stated before, I'm a noob when it pertains to Androids but I've been around a few mods on other SW.

So far, except for Rogers' bloatware sent OTA, I, like everyone else, have never received any update via Kies for this phone.

If you say that Rogers has released totally new major firmware (x.0) updates in the pass (not just patches), then I'll keep my fingers crossed. And, if the update happens to come along, I can assure you that I will rejoice as much as everyone else.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] TLS2000:
Telus is saying that the S2 X is going to be receiving ICS in early June. My guess is that the S2 LTE will get it around the same time if Rogers doesn't delay it another 6-8 months.

My BlackBerry 9810 still hasn't received OS 7.1 despite the fact that I've had access to it through other sources since late November.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
Didn't rogers send out a Mango update for the Samsung Focus earlier this year?

Trust me, I'm not trying to defend rogers... They don't seem to understand that they are nothing more than a carrier... But unfortunately, us Canadians don't have much choice. And those sobs know it. When you ask rogers about updates, they use some stupid flip chart to give you a "prepared" response :banghead::banghead:

We KNOW that they have received the ICS update from Samsung.... But they're more concerned about trivial stuff.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phoneguy 4567:
Samsung Focus is a Windows Phone so MS has some control over updates. The way I understand it is a carrier can opt out of one update but when another update comes it must go through. For example a carrier can opt out pre nodo but then must send Nodo update, then they can opt out of Mango but must send any update after Mango etc. Since I believe the updates are cumulative the end result is you should eventually receive the available updates.

As far as ICS I believe Rogers will send it out. The original Samsung announcement I believe listed the S2 LTE, Rogers knows they won't look good if the other carriers update their S2 devices and they don't.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] FlKTION:
My last phone was the captivate from Rogers (s1) and they released GB for it via Kies and that was long before ATT got there build out. I am not saying Rogers customer service isn't a nightmare but I am pretty damn sure they are going release ICS for us.

Well wouldn't that mean that Google and Samsung have some say over the matter then?

As well, since there was a 2.3.6 update on at&t that I believe was pulled (still existed though) that would mean that the ics update would be the second update, that if that pattern were true, Rogers has to release now?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] phoneguy 4567:
@awarbrick89

No the skip one update but must let next update through is a deal MS has with carriers it doesn't apply to Android. The closest thing Android has is their Nexus devices, but it only applies to the Nexus devices. Part of the reason Android is popular is because it's open source & manufactures can do anything they want with it, except I guess for the Google apps themselves. Android is the least controlled of the mobile OS's
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Turbojugend:
It could be they need to test it, I have tried every single radio and ICS rom so far and always had issues, it seemed after a week or so, same thing with all of them, but who knows when it will come out, or if my issues are more common and the reason for the delay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] m4570d0n:
That depends. There were actually two updates that were subsequently pulled shortly after they became available. Original was I727ATTKJ2. First update was I727ATTKK1. Second update was UCLA3. Does that count as 1, 2, or zero?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] petrochemicals:
UCLA3 was released again on AT&T and has been live for at least a month. I just re did my phone to stock 2.3.5 and upgraded to 2.3.6 a couple of days ago. UCLA3 is still there to download.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] shaggyskunk:
If your phone is connected to Kies, & you select Tools & update, Kies MUST be able to display the current o/s version & then right underneath it will show the same version again..(Unless the ICS update is finally here), In other words, no new updates available.. If you don't see this, Kies will not be able to update your phone... It's not enough for Kies to just recognise the phone.. It has to be able to determine the software version :)

My buddy with a SGS2 on Bell got the ICS last week and to be honest, I'm not all that eager to get it no more although I am jealous of the following:

Chrome Beta

Multitask Viewer

Better Settings (ability to monitor/control data usage)

But I am not jealous of the:

Horrific battery life (yes, this is stock ICS, not a ROM)

Losing ROOT

... and losing root previliage means losing A LOT OF THING

So to be honest... I don't even know if I'd jump on it until the root situation is cleared.

The upgrade did wonders to mine. Im getting around 1890 on SunSpider (stock browser) and hit over 4000 on Quandrant. And that is completely bone stock.

With those kind of results I am even more excited to see ICS on our Skyrockets.

ICS looks like ICS with TW, until you apply a different Launcher.. You can see some screen shots of both, by going to the Store via the Internet... You won't be able to view the Launchers if you use the play store app, since gingerbread is not compatible with either. :)

Bear in mind, that your phone needs to be "stock" in order to get the ICS update through kies!
