I get your suggestion but not exactly your point. I searched their site for a news in which to state that it will not receive the infamous upgrade and didn't find anything about that, although I could search more consistently. But to your suggestion, you may find quite often that a news website publishes some info at some time and another thing later on. In other words, if we read in day one some news about, say, Mr Smith who is dead, and later on, in day five, the same news company says that according to our sources, Mr. Smith in still alive, I would be inclined to think that Mr. Smith might just be alive. Well, this of course depends on the validity of the sources, but as I know in press, an info is considered to be publishable when its confirmed from minimum two out of three (if not more) different sources. This is how I argue that we can keep our optimism (I'm not suggesting anything else but some justification of an optimistic attitude). :) Other than that, we can do little but to wait patiently until the upgrade or otherwise.
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
That site didn't say that sgs2 won't get JB. It said a few months ago that our phones won't get upgraded to 4.0.4, which fortunately wasn't true :)
[Galaxy S II General] :
Yup exactly.
[Galaxy S II General] Vazduh:
I see. Let us hope then that this news wont have a mirror-like effect as the past one had.
[Galaxy S II General] ephraim:
I really hope so. Let's pray for the best :)
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
That Site along with Christian Post has to be banned from Internet. Both are BS IMO and have crappie journalism ;)
[Galaxy S II General] ant987:
That site said at first that we wouldn't have seen 4.1 and then they also said Samsung wouldn't have upgraded us even to 4.0.4

Now they changed their mind again!

If they put touchwix ux on the SII, it would make their customer ever more loyal since they keep their device updated. I don't think it would hurt the S3 sales, it is going to set the sales bar even higher for the S4 or whatever the name. Samsung customer are always going to buy samsung phones if the support is good.
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
+1

I'll surely buy next galaxy S4 or whatever they call it if current flagship is updated which is sign of good support else I'll switch to whichever company manufactures the next nexus phone.
[Galaxy S II General] ronald_loulan:
Im just found out that our I9100 is getting official JB frm Samsung today... :good:
[Galaxy S II General] vpraveenis:
Well I can claim that I9100 will be receiving JB with nature touchwiz UX and all other goodies even before the SIII. Ofcourse that will not happen. Anyone can claim anything withhout sources. Care to mention your sources?? :silly:

[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
He was been sarcastic and no one cares about SGS3 LTE or international version because everyone knows it is getting JB.

We're in I9100 aka SGS2 forums and this discussion over here is about release of JB for this device.
[Galaxy S II General] SaneinOne:
Well aren't you a snippy one. I've had the SGS2 since day one release and continue to experiment with multiple ROM flashes so please spare me the lecture of the focus of this thread. I was only confirming latest fact, I was not lost to the sarcasm implied in the quoted post ;)
[Galaxy S II General] vpraveenis:
Fact is Samsung has not officially said anything about Galaxy S II while they mentioned 3 other devices. It is perplexing to say the least as to why they are taking so long to even confirm/deny JB. It seems to be clearly a marketing decision at this point as they have not even mentioned that they are evaluating it on S2.

I can only hope that their strategy is to focus fully on getting the JB out for SGS 3 and will then start focusing on SGS2 after they push out the SGS3 update.
[Galaxy S II General] Spiralzz:
If that is what they are doing, it's not logical. Don't they have different development teams for different devices, or atleast for the flagship devices? Why use all the man power for S3, then move to older devices?
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
The Galaxy S2 still has strong sales and demand since S3 is slightly overpriced and not affordable. Considering this point and big user base of S2, Samsung better not let down their customers like their Galaxy S1.
[Galaxy S II General] vpraveenis:
Well that's how it works. Working that way serves two purposes

1. Cost benefit of having only one team rather tan two.

2. Keeps the team engaged fully extracting maximum out of them. If there were two teams working in parallel, both teams would remain idle after pushing out the major updates.

Where I work, It is a single team working on multiple releases and prioritizing the major release and taking up other releases after that. Infact release schedules are made such that teams are occupied > 100%
[Galaxy S II General] DanDroidian:
Finally! A 4.1 firmware for the S2 was leaked today! I'm using it and it's great.

Oops, sorry guys I forgot where I found the link.

But my friend that works at Samsung (ok, so he's a janitor) said it will be officially released on November 31 for the Galaxy S2!

I trust him. It's official!

[Galaxy S II General] Vazduh:
A message for the Samsung employees who read this

In my opinion (which I know doesn't matter much :silly:), I must say some things that the marketing and sales divisions at Samsung mobile already know this, but I want to confirm their beliefs from a consumer point of view:

1. There are plenty of SII users who already bought an SIII for two main reasons: a) great product b) great support based on previous experiences, but

2. The vast majority of the SII owners who doesn't own an SIII is the big fish to be net-ed; why and how? Well, SII is one of the most popular smartphone in history and a big part of today's owners will most definitively buy another Galaxy flagship this or next year IF they will not be disappointed by the support provided. This big hulk of meat (I am including myself) is already aiming at SIII (when it will become cheeper) or waiting for the next S IV (same time, next year) unless, they are forgotten (in which case they will move toward a nexus which might be another samsung build or a motorola, why not?)

3. On the other hand, an unsatisfied consumer will always tend to speak in average four times more loudly and often, and only for this reason, dear Samsung you don't want to wake up such a massive SII user community, because the effects might have seismic consequences for you.

So, dear Samsung (if you read this), keep in mind that todays SII owners are the potential buyers for your next flagship, if not for the present one (SIII), and if you really aiming at keeping your sales high in a sustainable manner, all you have to do is keep your good aftersale support for this phone, as you already did (which means that you will have to provide the much desired software upgrade to 4.1. JB...it is in your best interest). If you will not mess things up, than probably the next android (Lime-pie or whatever it is called) software will be experienced by this community in one of your flagships. ;)

P.S.: if this post is considered useless, I kindly ask the moderator to delete it, if you you feel the same as me, hit a +1 or comment
[Galaxy S II General] loop4444:
to be completly honest, i dont care much bout JB anyway.

With s3, note 2 samsung can do whatever they want, and although it wld be nice

to get new stuff, what i care more about is really awesome dev support/custom ROMS for s2 which

will probably be here for a long time. as long as we have that, we are ok, aswell as our device :)

devs ftw ;D
[Galaxy S II General] Vazduh:
Yep, I know that devs are some kind of wizards and really do magic with our devices, but keep in mind that they too are somehow dependent on the support provided by the manufacturer (driver sources, etc. etc.) and without this kind of support there are some development limits that can't be crossed easily. I assumed that we all understood clearly that if we have an official upgrade, devs will be able to take further steps, from that stage, improving and optimizing. Isn't it?
[Galaxy S II General] DrunkFuX666:
Your missing the point of wanting a official Samsung rom... we all love the developers... hence we want their life to be made easy as well so they can release their great custom ROMs without the intense frustration currently being ensued...

Without the official Samsung ROMs of JB they can't seem to get the hardware acceleration and audio to work properly for our devices hence always lagging being the other JB devices... until we don't get source that only Sammy can release we will always be lagging behind even tho we have the most superior dual core device out There... and samsung unfortunately doesn't release the drivers/source or whatever , unless they are doing a full firmware upgrade...

So bottom line... 75% ppl here don't want a samsung official JB so they can Use it... they want it so the devs can take what they need to make our device work the way they intend it to work... which is amazing and blazing fast... hence much love to our devs... and we want to simplify what they are doing for us for free...

Sshhhshshh..

This post might get picked up as news by youmobile or Christian post and JB release date news link might get posted :D
[Galaxy S II General] jackierobinson:
They can do whatever we let them get away with. Official releases help everybody, from developers to tweakers to stock customers.

And now that hardware is as good as it is, I'd even go as far as suggesting these companies have a moral obligation to release software updates. Creating a market where the only way to get the latest software is to replace a fully functional and relevant piece of hardware is wrong for many reasons.

I'm ok with the sg1 not getting jb, but if sg2 doesn't then that's poor form. And as of now the nexus line isn't the answer. They are holding back on nexus hardware to protect their flagship devices.
[Galaxy S II General] SaneinOne:
Sammy had already confirmed the SGS2 to be scheduled for JB, you guys/gals feel free to continue to debate.

[Galaxy S II General] Kakuji:
Hmm, ok, ok, so you guys say that Samsung Galaxy SII will get the Jelly Bean update according to Sammobile; but why are you so sure, I mean, what's Sammobile? From what I saw on youtube, Samsung presenting Note II at IFA Berlin, they said that it will come with Android 4.1, and SGS3 and Note will get 4.1 too, but they did not mentioned a thing about SGS2.
[Galaxy S II General] :
My friend, it has been already discussed several pages before. We all know what was said at IFA 2012.
[Galaxy S II General] Kakuji:
I'm just lazy to browse the 233 pages behind.. :D
[Galaxy S II General] :

You're welcome to believe what you believe. That being said, feel free to do a search here: http://bit.ly/JZ7Jx for more detailed information ;)
[Galaxy S II General] atulalvenkar:
Most of the stuff sammobile has said in past has come true so they do have some credibility here. They are the only source of leaked JB ROM's for SIII currently.

About IFA, yes they only spoke about SIII, Note I but they never said SGSII won't get it. When ICS updates were announced they categorically said original SGS won't be getting ICS.Currently for SII they haven't said anything.So as of now given Sammobiles credibility most of us on this forum think JB will be coming.
[Galaxy S II General] :
I guess this post was originally meant for me:)

Dude, If you ever heard samsung officially confirmed JB for S2 so please give us a source of this statement. Link to google looks not really serious. Of course you can find variety of websites like: youmobile, christian post etc claiming that S2 is scheduled to update. But seriously what's the value of such information?

As far as I remember Samsung hasn't confirmed or denied anything yet. If I am wrong please correct me. Trust me I'll be more than happy to admit you're right :)
[Galaxy S II General] mihaixp:
Even if they won't release jelly bean, I am sure that they'll release some sort of Value Pack update, like they did with the S1.

But I'm keeping my fingers crossed. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] Kakuji:
So, I managed to read some old posts and .... meh... I really want the update to happen, because, for god sake, the specs of the SGS2 are way better than Nexus S' , the same as Note's, and you would be extremelly stupid to piss over 20 million Samsung device owners.This stock ICS that I'm using on my SII is making it running games slower, I mean, before when I had GingerBread, games such as Asphalt 7 were working flawlessly,but now,on ICS, on some tracks, lag occurs.
[Galaxy S II General] drraptor:
Games will lag more with jelly beans.
[Galaxy S II General] jackierobinson:
I think we're all aware that specifications aren't the deciding factor when companies are choosing to upgrade a device to JB.

Samsung not releasing JB for the SG2 won't piss of twenty million users. I want JB for my phone too, but let's not start spouting nonsense.
[Galaxy S II General] Kakuji:
By the way, can someone tell me what's a value pack?
[Galaxy S II General] Siberian Tiger:
Value pack is a firmware with some goodies inside eg:touchwiz ux or gallery note things like that.

Galaxy S received value pack with TW4 and some minor changes

I personally hope samsung releases JB (Jelly Bean, not justin bieber:p), and if they don't then I hope there will be a custom rom. Also, I wonder how hard will the rooting process of JB will be.
[Galaxy S II General] sahibunlimited:
Faryab stopped it because of android sources will release in mid july, samsung has nothing to do with it.

Samsung never release sources for anything except kernel(which is forced to be released by the law of GPL and kernel sources doesn't contain driver sources)

See other devices section which didn't get official updates and yet they are running cm9 flawlessly.

Just wrote this post to let people know that their will be cm10 for s2 even if samsung updates or not;)

It will be fully functional or not, time will tell.

I AM JOKING of course :D:D:p
[Galaxy S II General] :
yeah and thats sad as drivers is needed all the way
[Galaxy S II General] Steve_max:
They just need to release the drivers' binary blobs; after that, we can work around and load them in custom kernels. This was how CM9 actually started moving forwards, after the first ICS leaks. However, that was needed because the ICS (3.0.x) kernel was incompatible with GB (2.6.35) modules. I don't know what version is JB's kernel, or if it's compatible with 3.0.1 modules; if it is, we don't need those drivers.

Anyway, there will be no actual development until Google releases the sources.
[Galaxy S II General] ant987:
In the actual JB Galaxy Nexus ROM the kernel is 3.0.31 if I'm not wrong

[Galaxy S II General] PlanDreaM:
If the kernel is 3.0.31 there is a good chance we don't need newer drivers.

[Galaxy S II General] jujuburi:
Of course, there won't be any.

I don't know if Kernel will be changed or same as ICS, but if it's changed then without Google's driver release any Custom ROM will finish the path including CM.

I'd like to ask, did CM guys born at its own? If you so like then ask them to release a stable Gingerbread ROM first.

XDA might as well start giving away tags like Recognized Troller. Or Recognized Sponsor would do.

Is this article confirmed by Samsung or is it just a rumour?

[Galaxy S II General] CreepyDroid:
Samsung gave the Note I an ICS update with Nature UX and the new Note II's gallery (+ resizable pop up play and direct call), so the argument that says that they won't update the S2 to not harm S3's sales is total bull****. My understanding of the unpacked statement is that the S3 and the Note will get JB SOON, and the S2 later this year or early 2013.

But with the fact that the Note already got some of the S3/Note 2 features and that it's getting JB before the S2, you can obviously tell that the Note line up will replay the S for being the flagship devices.
[Galaxy S II General] rakeshishere:
