Yeah and that is what I mean. After the international s2 gets updates it takes at least 3 months for t mobile to release there update and that is if they do at all.

I just don't understand how some people can really believe we are going to get the update soon. I'm just going to upgrade to the note 2 for jelly bean. I'm kinda bummed I need to get a new phone though. I've only had my s2 for 6 months. But jelly bean is just too good. Mainly Google Now is the reason. I would go for a nexus device but I've heard way to much bad things about build quality. Such as loose screens, dust behind the screens and just the overall quality.

It's going to be a while before I can get a new phone due to having to help out my family with money but once I am able to. It will either be a Note 2 like I had already said or if a new nexus comes out built better I'll go with that.

I wish I was wrong and we got jelly bean but it really doesn't look likely.

maybe soon for our phone :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
How so? I didn't see anything about t mobile. Like I said they do the international upgrade first always. Then t mobile will release it months later.

I don't mean to be a downer but you gotta look at the facts and we don't have any besides the international version still hasn't got there's.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
I've been following it pretty closely and its reported that Samsung wants to release the updates for each variant around the same time frame and in a more organized way ...remains to he seen if this will actually happen
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] j510:
There isnt anybody working on the jb rom for this variant? That sucks if so. Google now is nice but not worth getting a new phone. Try using a rom of the jb leak if there's one available. The google now cards are nice I have to admit.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mycars12:
I think that we have a better chance with cyanogenmod for 4.2.1 than waiting for the international update and then for the tmobile update will probably take a year or more

but basically i think you guys looking for the new updates should put your future sights on cyanogenmod

Just my 2 cents
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
I would but I don't have the time to mess around with roms. I need everything to be within working and have all the uptime on my phone that I can get.

I know now that it's going to take forever if we get the update at all. But that's the reason I don't use custom roms.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Scoobyracing03:
Exactly, and well being a Vibrant owner that watched the international Galaxy S 1 get updated while the T-Mobile variant stopped getting updates I wouldn't hold my breath of an official release of Jelly Bean from T-Mobile. Even though there are leaks for AT&T's Skyrocket just means we could port their release to ours, not seeing any leaks for the Hercules is a very bad sign. Even more so when you take into account a person on here claiming he's seen a working Jelly Bean update for our phones, but yet no leak released. Wonder why......
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
Yes. See, finally other people that know what's really going on. I was a Vibrant owner as well. So I'm pretty much 100 percent sure we are not getting the update. Looks like I'll be on Ics for a while until I can get a new phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jester6:
If you all haven't even tried an aosp version of JB then you're missing out on the potential of this phone. It seems like it was made for aosp, going back to touchwiz is just painful now. Buy a phone for the hardware, not the software.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
That's what I did and it seems I'm getting screwed for it now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] j510:
Jelly bean leak touchwiz ux on my gs2 is much better than aosp now imo
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jester6:
I'm inclined to disagree with you, anything leaked is exactly that for one reason or another. That being, it probably isn't ready for general public use. Anything that needs the signal bars themed to even show a faux signal isn't getting anywhere close to my phone. At least aosp has source released and CM has been doing this long enough that they know what they're doing. Not to mention Touchwiz blows.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] j510:
Have you even tried the leak? The newest touchwiz is a huge step up from touchwiz 4. Its extremely stable and what do you mean signal bars have to be themed. I guess it's different in your experience since you don't have an exynos chip and can't experience exynos butter.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
Let's try to stay on topic. This is for official jelly bean for the T-Mobile s2. I do understand we probably are not getting it but still. There are 100s of other topics on unofficial releases.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TU Homer:
Is the leak available for me to download and flash? If so, where?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] headcreepz:
http://androidheadlines.com/2013/01/samsung-galaxy-s2-jelly-bean-update-gets-detailed.html ......we will be getting the update.....straight from samsung themselves!! I can't wait to read the posts from people that still want to say we arent getting it.....go buy a new phone than.:silly:

heres another article which does mention the 3 u.s. carriers in the update!! http://www.phonearena.com/news/Sams...y-Bean-update-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S-II_id38316
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Jester6:
So what the hell are you doing in the T989 section in the first place? International forums --------> that way. Touchwiz is Touchwiz to me so as far as that goes I won't be trying any leak at all, I'd rather have sense and i ****ing hate sense, and as far as "exynos butter" goes... Project Butter is the same on any chip so i'm not sure what you're shooting for as it's hard to improve on vsync and triple buffering giving you max fps...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
I don't know if our T989 will get it but this website says that the galaxy S2 will get Jelly Bean...

http://www.electricpig.co.uk/2012/06/28/android-jelly-bean-to-streamline-updates-for-all/

It makes me hopeful

I like my Roms the way I like my women..... Clean and smooth
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fuse1820:
OK

Got into the UI.

Still buggy. Lots of cleanup needed.

Confident I can get most of it working in the next few days....but Camera may have to be downgraded to ICS cam.

Big thanks to eugene for his kernel, which is now forked. I don't really care for overclocking, so my goal is cross compatibilty with T989/T989D/I727/I727R

Sources will be at Github as I push up commits.

Does your new avatar mean you ready to battle with JB :D

Sent from AOKP Goodness :-D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fuse1820:
Yes because after our phone JB will be making its way to my HP touch pad

Maybe G2x but the RAM will be the deciding factor
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JPOKeefe:
Great work man. Not worried bout the camera the only difference is swiping the pics away no biggie keep up the good work and keep us here updated with your progress!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jasnmb:
Awesome, yaldak. As long as we get the performance improvements of JB, Google Now, and the newer notifications, that's all I really care about. Or I would even be fine if the performance just matches ics.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sanstrom:
We have to move beyond it. It's an albatros on the neck of the internet. Even Adobe knows it sucks which is why they aren't developing it on mobile anymore. JMO though. I could use less flash adds on mobile sites.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fuse1820:
If its unstable trash, I'm going to drop it till source comes.

But its loookin good. Got audio working. Trying FM radio...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
Yeah I really like the notification bar and the voice search. Keep up the great work!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fuse1820:
It all looks like trash now because the resources are XHDPI. Looks like tomorrow is Photoshop day!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sanstrom:
I think a lot of people would like to poke it with a stick or two. Never cease to amaze you pull these fixes out. I remember auto rotate. That was a great day when you released that. Keep up the good work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fuse1820:
Thank the donators they covered my Monsters + a pair of headphones :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
No worries. Regardless of how it looks now you are doing a great job. I couldn't 99.9% of what you are doing. I honestly wish I could see a short video of someone working on a rom just to see how hard it is and how hard Yall work. I already know it's tough but to see it would be cool
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] suaverc118:
And why can't I find this thread on my app? I have to go to a previous thread for this to get here. When I look under general discussion I don't see this. Thanks

Crap I found this under stickies. Lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 19fonzy:
Project Butter ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fuse1820:
Our phone has far more potential than Gingerbread. Qualcomm makes high quality chips. Many Android phones are capable of a lot.

The G2X for example can easily best the iPhone 4S in almost every fashion...but because of corporate politics its growth was stunted and a great piece of hardware was wasted.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sinfulgray:
When in the app go to general section and tap the stickie tab at the top center and it should be there. I just checked. :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JPOKeefe:
Is there anyway you could release like a closed alpha/beta test version of what you are doing so people could test it for you?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Beefvvl:
I think if he does agree to have this. That the testers should be required to know how to logcat.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
It's just funny how people keep posting the update news for the international s2. That update had nothing to do with our T989. If we do get the update it will be months after the international s2 gets there's as I said in my other post.

Stop linking update news that has nothing to do with the T989. Remember ics? That came out for the international s2 half a year before we got Ics for our T989.

If you do find any update news for our model then yah please post it. It would be great to hear some good news for once.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
There have been several posts (with source to back it up) about the T989 getting JB. And the second artical that headcreepz posted, it mentioned the US carriers.just like he stated it did in his post
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
You're talking about the official post by Samsung right? There has been posts by other android news about that post. They have not said anything official about the T989 getting Jelly Bean. What some of the other android news websites have said was stuff like (USA carriers may have to wait much longer to get the update). That's if they even release it for the T989 in the first place.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
Lol smfh

this has been posted several times in this thread

http://www.tmonews.com/2012/09/sams...-bean/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook

And this one mentions the Telus S2 http://mobilesyrup.com/2012/12/27/s...h-premium-suite-when-jelly-bean-rolls-around/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
I didn't see anything that said The T-Mobile s2 will get jelly bean. All I seen was a list of t mobile devices. Nothing to do with the other. Also was that t mobile USA?

Believe me guys, I want to believe we are going to get the update. But until I see something official from T mobile or Samsung in regard to T-Mobile. I'm not going to get my hopes up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mycars12:
im not really sure either if we are getting it

but if we do i think that it might be released for skyrocket before the Hercules one

Don't know about you but I live in the US.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] truckerdewd:
Same here. Plus my wife and I are both eligible for upgrade at the end of this month and we are probably going with the S3 for both of us unless I can get a great deal on the Note 2

Sent from my wickedly awesome Galaxy S2 using my fingers. Duh!!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
Well the link I posted does actually mention all the US varients
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] algorhythm:
You mean the part where they are completely speculating on it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rymanh:
Maybe they were and maybe they weren't speculating.. That doesn't change the fact that there has been official word from Samsung on the matter.. Not to mention Telus' website stating that they are going to update the phone to jelly bean update.. Yes the update is late but it's coming...

Or maybe your speculation is correct where every other variant including the Telus version is getting the update except for T mobile..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] YourPartyBoy:
I can tell you it will be before august, for tmo as i was told by a rep. but my guess is may or june for tmo update. Samsung always have problems with getting authorization the update for release for tmo network. Dunno why tmo is so picky but they are.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] algorhythm:
I dunno man, the way I read the article was that Samsung said the JB update was coming out in Singapore, and the person who was writing the article assumed that means it would roll out elsewhere afterwards.

Obviously the site sucks on the content front because they didn't even cite a source :confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
Yeah that's also how I've read them. I seen a few articles that mention the S2 update to be world wide. I just have seen no information to back it up. All I know officially is that the international models and Canadian models are getting the update.

There has been no mention of the United States getting the jelly bean update, let alone our model the T989.

Otherwise, if we do get the update I'm pretty sure it will not be anytime soon. It will most likely be months after the international roll out.

It sucks that I have to say that but T-Mobile doesn't seem to care much at all. They haven't even announced that we are getting Jelly Bean for there S2 model in the first place. I would think if they had something in the works they would at least say something about it.

I hope I'm wrong and they are working with Samsung on the update right now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] iCUE220:
So besides the jb update or lack thereof I should say.. What about multi window for our t989..? Is that going to be available soon?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
I guess I messed up when I went into the T-Mobile store the other day and looked at the Note 2. I couldn't get off my mind how awesome it was. The display the speed that things load and just the overall sexiness. The slow motion video recording, the camera's functionality, Hell everything about it..

I have had my S2 for 7 months now and I love it. It's a great phone. I just didn't want to be stuck with it for another year and a half.

Anyway I called T-Mobile and got somewhat of a good price on it. That along with them letting me pay in installments. I couldn't help but order the Note 2. I use my phone for other things then phone calls 99% of the time anyway, so I'm much better off with the Note 2.

I know phones are obsolete within a few months of there release. I mean by the end of this year the S4 will come out with a 1080p resolution display. It's kind of crazy how fast phone technology is taking off. The S2 is one of the only phones that have lasted 2 years and is still a great mid range phone.

Anyway I'm sure this phone will get jelly bean though. It's just going to take a while. I'll keep checking in as I'm still a fan of the S2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] algorhythm:
Mind if I ask what kind of deal you got?

But regardless, unfortunately in a few months you'll likely have the same problem with the GN2 that we are having with the GS2.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RikkKeith:
I was looking at the Note 2 this past week but still can't get past Touchwiz. So when my local TMo store received their shipment of N4's this week and after playing around with the device about a half hour, I bought one. I still had 10 months on my SII but I couldn't wait; paid it off and bought the N4.

You know, maybe in the long run that's why they take so long with their upgrades, hoping you'll see the new devices and just upgrade. I mean Jelly Bean has been out for 7 months and most devices are just now starting to see it, and it will still be a few months before other devices start to see upgrades Rolling out.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] algorhythm:
Note2 for 290? Doesn't make sense. Is that 290 + monthly payments? Why would they give you that sort of deal mid-contract?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
I'm not sure but I've heard of much better deals then I've got. A friend of mine got a free Note 2 and she didn't have an upgrade. I'm not sure how she pulled it off but she got lucky. It's all about who you talk to when you call T-Mobile. If you have been with them for a while it seems they can give you some good offers but as I said, it's all about who you get on the phone.

Also yes, no other payments. To answer you're question.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fastfed:
ahhaha BS!!

no way no how..

T-mobile got ghetto and you ARE paying monthly payments..

I have 4 months left of my 2 year contract and they won't budge a day..

I've called everywhere
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
I'm sorry you're having such issues. I'm not sure what you mean about monthly payments. That's only for customers with the value plan. For example, you pay 250 then 20 bucks a month for 20 months. So you end up paying full price.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] racer321:
Looks like there is some good news, well at least for us Canadian users. :)

http://mobilesyrup.com/2013/01/21/t...n-upgrade-now-expected-to-arrive-in-february/
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
Awesome. I'm pretty sure the US will get it. It will just be last and a few months after everyone else in the world gets it.

My parents and a few of my friends have S2's so this is good news. I was wondering do you know if S-beam will come to the S2 in the jelly bean update?

I know there is a better version of beam in jelly bean so you can also do photos a short videos after touching phones it goes to blue tooth. This is better then S-beam in most cases anyway since you don't need to use Wi-Fi direct I hear it's a battery hog. But then again blue tooth is much slower. But for a picture or mp3 it would be fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Elloco305:
Everything I read about the gs2 update refers to the international version.

Anyone heard any news about JB on our device the Hercules?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] MrKnitty:
JB been done, T-Mobile (bloat) are in their final beta stages with the update. That's all we waiting on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Elloco305:
Any source?

Thanks btw.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] titoxtian:
international s2 already has jellybean... :( when will we get ours?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] dayzesrs:
Just a heads up if Knitty says it then its true.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rfail1988:
He IS the source.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Elloco305:
Lol then I am truly sorry Mr. Knitty

Thanks guys I had no clue. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] HeavyA:
Hopefully it isn't another round of hope and disappointment like with the Vibrant (the only original Galaxy S variant that NEVER got an official Gingerbread release).

Not because I want a stock ROM, but rather because having the stock release out there makes it easier for our devs to put out even better quality ROMs with fewer issues due to having up to date hardware drivers and all for the latest android version. That was why the GPS sucked on the Vibrant on most of the GB and especially ICS roms I tried when I still had that phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Elloco305:
Though it is for the I900 its still a sign of progress. I know what Knity said but just wanted to leave this here. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] likaboss:
Thanks for being you MK! :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Onemoa:
Thank God you're back MrKnitty!

We've all missed you. Hope to see more of you around here, it's been a while.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Scoobyracing03:
On 21st September 2012, 12:05 AM you said...

I don't recall there being an update of any kind on Kies in November, I've seen refurb phones get an updated 4.0.4 to fix issues though.

25th September 2012, 01:08 PM you said...

6th October 2012, 08:24 AM you said...

How would they approve something without their bloat installed and working?

15th November 2012, 10:38 PM you said...

Where is this leak that would be out for the T989 yeah sprint and the skyrocket got it but no T989. but yet it's been done since October?

and now you are saying...

Just a few to many inconsistencies which is why I call BS from you before and I will again. You come on here and say it's right around the corner and keep saying it's in the final stages of beta testing, but yet I know from back experience is when they have various betas they get leaked and we have seen not a single leak and the only proof of an update is your word which I have seen nothing to back up a single word you have said about Jelly Bean for the T989. So by all means prove myself and the other doubters that this phone is nothing more than the Vibrant 2.0 that won't get all the updates the other Galaxy S 1 phones got.

Not trying to troll here but looks like you are trolling to get peoples hopes up about an update that is almost done as you have said since the end of September. So beyond you saying over and over it's coming soon where is something more official and concrete?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Genesis3:
Well, something wants to update me this morning when I popped my phone awake while drinking my morning coffee.

I have to Odin back to stock recovery before allowing it to attempt the update. KIES says I'm on LH1 and it's current. Hmmmm.... anyone know what this one is?
