You're confused. They didn't say "in a year." They said, "within the year." That means before end of December, 2012. That means roughly one month behind international release, which is pretty good.

You need to understand, VERY few handsets released in 2011 are getting updates to 4.1. Outside of the Nexus S, there are zero handsets as old as or older than the SGS2 getting the JB update. At least you're saying you want to jump to the Nexus and not HTC/Moto/Sony. You will find zero OEMs who update like Samsung.

Pretty much this.

I wish I could say that people ask the same questions from time to time in case they might missed something, but no. It's more like this:

"Better ask trice a day because apparently I have nothing better to do."

I mean, there haven't been any REAL NEWs for how long now? And people still post here all day long.

Another upcoming JB update for S3 is being prepared and pushed out via OTA. Link here: http://www.sammobile.com/2012/11/12/samsung-to-update-the-galaxy-s-iii-to-android-4-1-2-soon/

I just hope that Samsung Sweden did not lie to us about November update deadline. And, of course, I hope the update for S2 is 4.1.2 too (may release after Samsung give 4.1.2 to S3 firstly).

Let's hope for the best.
[Galaxy S II General] narco14:
and android 4.2 probably in december;)
[Galaxy S II General] HAKANN:
S3 is getting 4.1.2 with the new feature multi-window will we also get it?
[Galaxy S II General] Dark Emotion:
We don't know yet but multi-window on lower resolution+smaller screen? Don't think so.
[Galaxy S II General] Kakuji:
Yeah, I guess the low resolution of our device is the main problem. Anyways, I hope we will get JB (at least) before Christmas.

Hello, we understand your discomfort, we inform you that our development team is working as quickly as possible to release to the public the update for the Samsung Galaxy S 2 GT-I9100, which will be released with Android 4.1.2, the delay has been that Google has launched its very fast new versions of Android, it had originally planned to release the update to Android 4.1.1 as with the Glaxy S3, but with the new version is made ​​the decision to postpone it to offer our users a newer update and optimized, we do not have an exact date but hopefully by December already out early versions of the update mainly to Eastern European countries, our developers are looking into whether it is feasible to update the phone to Android 4.2, if they determine that not feasible we update ending the cycle update for this phone, we currently do not have more information about this topic, contact us and we thank you for this tuned for new information.

And is there anyone who believes that this was written by Samsung? there is no way they would give so many explanations and sort of "excusing" and finding reasons for a launch that they never confirmed oficially. And then giving details about how they decide about update cycle? I'm not buying this. It's some sort of elaborate trolling. :p
[Galaxy S II General] RusherDude:
Now December?

"We will see if we can update it to Android 4.2"

==> JB in dec-end/early-jan + Android 4.1.2 last update for Galaxy SII, 2011 mobile world flagship. No Android 4.2 for us.

Conclusion: I am selling my SGS2 and buying a Nexus 4 tomorrow. No more waiting, bye bye Samsung.
[Galaxy S II General] Garuxa:
Please stop talking about Nexus!

If you are buying or prefer that phone instead of the GT-I9100, do it for you. No one else cares
[Galaxy S II General] Spyr0s:
Have fun with no fm radio, no sd card, only 8GB internal storage (useless for GPS maps and media), on screen button that cut the size of the screen etc etc SGS2 will get 4.2+, new audio driver for CM is on the works and the rest will be fixed as soon as sources drop.

Oh and i forgot, with Nexus 4 you are stuck in one and only flavor AOSP/AOKP and thats it. Happy warez hunting for replacing all the apps and fuctionality thats missing from AOSP.
[Galaxy S II General] duykhang524:
Why are you guys all complaining about the update and switching to the nexus 4... I consider it a downgrade... no micro sd, camera isn't that good, issues with internal construction... Samsung is still the manufacturer that updates their devices quicker just look at LG, HTC, Sony...Some of their devices don't even run ICS while it's been 6 month since we got it. Our devices is soon reaching the end of its life cycle and yet they are still willing to give us more goodies. Give samsungfirmware devs a break, they are devs just like xda's devs. Sammy hasn't even updated their current flagship to 4.1.2 yet how can you expect us to get the update first. If you bought a nexus 4 I'm glad you did but just don't say it in an arrogant way. eg: I just ordered the nexus 4 so f*ck you all S2 owners... That's just plain useless. My next devices will still definitely be a samsung's device.
[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
At least the complainers are leaving for a Nexus. If your only complaint about Samsung is pace and quantity of updates, Nexus is your only option. There are precisely zero non-Nexus handsets as old as or older than the SGS2 getting official 4.1. Zero. And we MIGHT even get 4.2. It's unheard of.
[Galaxy S II General] hlubepet:

[Galaxy S II General] DanDroidian:
They aren't being strict, IT'S JUST THAT THE RUMORS ABOUT IT BEING RELEASED IN NOVEMBER WERE, IN FACT, BS!

I told you so. Everyone trusts SamMobile and other unofficial sources like they are gods or something. They will have to change the name of this thread again....not official, and not in NOVEMBER....
[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
Samsung Sweden and Samsung Germany both stated November. Those are official sources. Now, can it be delayed? Of course. Those original projections were based on 4.1.1.
[Galaxy S II General] DanDroidian:
Haha, some previous quotes from the previous months. don't say I didn't see this coming!

Fair enough, but those posts seem really humorous now.
[Galaxy S II General] jaykresge:
No, they're not. You also conveniently glossed over that both Samsung Sweden and Samsung Germany each confirmed JB for the SGS2 in their countries for November. Now, that was based on 4.1.1. Delays can happen, especially with a change to 4.1.2. However, these were official confirmations, unlike Sammobile.

---------- Post added at 07:15 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:12 PM ----------

Re-quoting post for DanDroidian. Article shows Samsung Sweden website screenshot confirming SGS2 4.1 for November. Official Samsung confirmation. There's another one from Samsung Germany, but I didn't make that post nor am I going to dig for it.
[Galaxy S II General] reinbeau:
Guys, Dan's posts are no more spam than yours are. Really. All this useless speculation, sabre rattling, angst - JB will come when it comes, no amount of whining is going to make it come any faster. Do not report each other over this or this thread will be shut down.
[Galaxy S II General] DanDroidian:
So, Samsung was 70% finished with 4.1.1 and they were going to release it in November. Then, they decided to just SKIP 4.1.1 and work on 4.1.2 and release it by December?

I'm just saying that people shouldn't assume all this rumors are facts, and SamMobile is NOT affiliated with Samsung.

i dnt think s2 will get 4.1.2 latest android version before s3 because s3 is latest and priority should be given to it as when next time when we will get s4 and that time suppose s3 is getting update before us then we will blame Samsung only.

There were 4 "big" Android flagships released in 2011.

-Galaxy S II (February)

-HTC Sensation (May)

-Galaxy Nexus (October)

-Motorola RAZR (November)

Guess what? The Nexus is a given, but the other two won't see anything beyond 4.0.x...and they were released AFTER the SGS2. If updates are the primary issue that you have with Android phones, you get a Nexus. Every phone is a compromise to some degree. I will take an SGS2 on 4.0/4.1 over a Galaxy Nexus on 4.2 any day of the week, and that doesn't even count the 8 month lead time. And by the time the Galaxy Nexus has 5.0 anyway, I would be on my next phone.

We get better support on our device than any non-Nexus. Heck, you can add LG and Sony's flagships from 2011, same story.
[Galaxy S II General] #illidan:
We're happy with their "laziness" because Samsung is the only one that busts their balls for such a long time even though the phone has been in the market for almost 1.5 years to release OS updates for it when other OEM's would have long forgotten such devices. Yes their slow compared to Google but their still the fastest & the most reliable compared to other OEM's. Why don't you just buy a Nexus & stop moaning over here. Every second freaking post is a "Screw you Samsung I'm buying a Nexus post" :banghead:

[Galaxy S II General] Cayman.n2o:
Well 4.1.2 isn't that much different from 4.1.1. not even 4.2 is. So if they get 4.1.1. to work, making 4.1.2. work is a mather of hours.

So informations that samsung stoped working on 4.1.1. and started to make 4.1.2. shouldn't mean too much delay.

Switching to another phone is a thing everyone should tend to, but its a mather of financial capabilities.

[Galaxy S II General] DanDroidian:
Did it make you feel better though?

:D
[Galaxy S II General] PlutoDelic:
just a few pages behind i mentioned that the possibility of S2 getting 4.2 seems well written in that unconfirmed samsung text. I thought 4.2 was really minor, but i was misinformed and engadget proved me wrong. multi-user support, 3.4 kernel seem big enough to NOT call it minor. I think S2 users should feel lucky having 4.2 in the future, and honestly i dont expect more from Samsung. But dont blame no one here, this is all due to the phone manfucaturers not being more standard driven. Advanced users should have the right to be given an only drivel level supported system update, the community would bloom with options, i guess google could do a lot in this grey area...

4.1.2 seems certain. leaks should follow any day.

I hate making statements about rumoured or non-existing versions of android, but if something like 5.0 comes out, what is seriously needed is a unified updating system, at least it would stop non-sense chatter around threads like this.

So who is willing to port the release until the source code is released :p

Direct 4.2 whould be great :cyclops:

Anyway, let's be realistic here, Samsung doesn't care (as all manufactures) that much about updating their software, they just want to sell more phones, and upgrade the specs, and make new presentation of products... For sure there will be people working on Samsung dev. team for Android, but there will not be that much people, and they are unlekly going to hire more people, just for updating an "obsolete phone".

It's sad, but I think that's the main reason, they don't have enough resources, and they prefer to spend the money on ads rather than hiring more developes.
[Galaxy S II General] Kakuji:
I highly doubt we will get 4.2.

4.1.2, even 4.1.1 is enough for me. Anyways, if in fact, we'll get 4.2 it would be goddamn amazing from Samsung, I mean, upgrading a 2011 phone to the latest version of this OS is madness, in a good way obviously. If this will happen, I'll make sure my next phone will be a Samsung :D

[Galaxy S II General] RusherDude:
After checking how Google is killing the Nexus S, I changed opinion and I'm gonna stay with the S2 :).

If Google only guarantees 18 months of updates, screw them. That's actually the ONLY reason to get a Nexus over a Samsung device, and they ruined it this very special day for them (Nexus 4 & Nexus 10). Samsung returned to the lead for me (though my next phone brand is a mistery yet, depends of how long Sammy updates the S2. If it lasts 7 more months I'll buy the next Galaxy S4)

Waiting for 4.1.2 here again :P
[Galaxy S II General] j510:
Samsung updates guaranteed for 18 months also but not as frequent.
[Galaxy S II General] RusherDude:
Same than a Nexus and better than them in any other feature. I call that "Ownage". (We could discuss Nexus 4 price, but Nexus 4 kinda died some today after his brother Nexus S got killed, since its "Nexus" brand lost all the sense it had before.)

Still, Sammy has yet to drop Galaxy SII from the table, and if they're smart, they will give 24month update support so the people that got a S2 with a 2-year contract will get the Galaxy S4 when they finish that contract.
[Galaxy S II General] Gambler_3:
The nexus S got jelly bean 2 days after the galaxy nexus got it. With samsung they treat the old devices like **** making you wait several months. Its not just the lifetime support that matters but also how quick the updates are delivered. Why should the S2 be given jelly bean months after the S3??

Secondly you are not going to get the new touchwiz whereas with a nexus device you always get the latest interface even if its an older device. Where are all the cool S3 features on the S2? Surely it can run most of them. The nexus S has most of the features that the galaxy nexus has. Nexus S is a single core 512MB Ram device and is running 4.1.2 that most phones even the S3 havent gotten yet. The nexus S is IDENTICAL to the galaxy S which is sitting on 2.3.6.

There has NOT been a single better supported android phone than the nexus S. You are really over reacting, the galaxy nexus received 4.2 on the day of the launch of the big brother. That sort of a thing never happens with samsung. The nexus S is a really weak device now by todays standards, its had its great run. Btw it was supported for MORE than 18 months as only recently it got the 4.1.2 update its a 2 year old device now.

Nexus S is a device that did not age very gracefully in terms of processing speed but galaxy S2 on the other hand is a complete opposite its still one of the fastest phones. There is no reason why it should be treated a second tier device, if S2 was a nexus I would actually still recommend it to people over some of the newer phones as its got the best comfortable size and still very good specs. But no samsung doesnt want to support a device that is still very capable.
[Galaxy S II General] Spyr0s:
Oh yes we are going to get TouchwizUX
[Galaxy S II General] Gambler_3:
Wow really?? That would actually be really awesome of Samsung to do as they never gave the S1 touchwiz 4.

Note got it, Galaxy SII Sprint got it and also Apple won the patent dispute about Touchwiz, so Samsung will change the launcher.
