Galaxy Nexus has higher resolution.

Galaxy S2 is 480p whereas Nexus is 720p.

Android 5.0 is designed for higher resolution screens.

[Galaxy S II General] Donnie Sins:
You don't have to take it that bad. But if you would've searched, you would notice this info was already stated here, and yes, in the General section.

I personally didn't think it was that usefull because of what I just stated, but if you and other people do, I won't stop you (except if you open multiple threads:p).

What the ****, I pay for an high-end phone, after 2 years it still works awesome and if I want official support and updates I do need to buy a new one?

Well I hadn't even expected to get the 4.2.2 update until I heard a news that SGS2 would get updated to 4.2.2.

Should thank for having our devices updated just like other high-end devices instead of complaing about not getting updated to 5.0 nor above that.
[Galaxy S II General] coolbiza:
For me is stupid policy to support device for 2 years after relase date. It should be 2 years after they stop production or selling device.

My 50 cents.

[Galaxy S II General] anshmiester78900:
Guys try to understand Samsung is the only company that is updating it's 2011 flagship to JB 4.2.2. HTC Sensation haven't got the update yet to JB 4.1.2 itself. Also LG flagship device O2X just got the ICS and forget if it will ever get the JB update. It's only Samsung that is doing justice to its device.
[Galaxy S II General] cvexkeks:
When Samsung deliver JB OTA to my phone there will be probably SG5 out so I don't worry.

It doesn't matter, even i didt't expect the upgrade to Android 4.2.2, so, i'm very happy for buy the galaxy s2 about a year a go.

i don't get this,how am i running cm 4.2.2 on my sgs2 when it has not been leaked from samsung
[Galaxy S II General] doop:
Samsung don't release android. The CM devs have made it work on the sgs2 .
[Galaxy S II General] aritos:
then what is the problem with 5.0
[Galaxy S II General] RusherDude:
This thread talks about OFFICIAL updates, not about custom roms with the last firmware. Even if Samsung never releases 5.0 and other updates officially, we could have it with CM or other AOSP rooms.
[Galaxy S II General] Donnie Sins:
Or not, as I stated before. I don't wish this, but CM isn't going to work on Android 5.0 for the SII, as Codeworkx already said..

[Galaxy S II General] Levo Harkonnen:
Samsung is having trouble keeping the heat and power consumption of their newest generation SoCs down. This is why they are using other SoCs for their new phones. More cores don't always mean more performance either.

I want batterylife. This race to the highest PPI screens and fastest SoCs have lead to phones lasting barely long enough to get through a day.

The only manufacturer going in the right direction in my opinion is RIM with their new QNX based OS. But RIM is too late to the game and they even succeeded in making the most efficient kind of kernel(microkernel) bloated and slow.
[Galaxy S II General] jj03:
Obviously more cores don`t necessarily mean more power...i`d like the octocore version regardless of that sorta ****. You want battery life? Just the q with everyone else...weird that the most important aspect is often the last thats thought about...
[Galaxy S II General] albert7777:
Eh, it launched on Gingerbread, I would be surprised if it went past 4.2 :silly:
[Galaxy S II General] Levo Harkonnen:
So what you're saying is that you would rather have a gimmick(octacore CPU) than a useful device that offers mobility instead of shackles(having to charge your "mobile" phone every few hours).

That's like saying you want a 900hp engine in your ford fiesta and you think everybody is just whining about the tiny gas tank.
[Galaxy S II General] DD-Ripper:
Even if we don't get Android 5.0, why are devs here for..? :D :D

I think we would be getting ROMs at least up to Android 5.5 :p :D :D

[Galaxy S II General] daniel sitohang:
No Android 5.0 upgrade for sgs2

I wonder where will S2 end up after most of you discard the phone after finishing the contract.

Which country will flooded by this second hand phone
[Galaxy S II General] betrayed666:
we will have unofficial 5.0 probably but i bet we will be happy with 4.2.2
[Galaxy S II General] Levo Harkonnen:
I would definitely like to see more support from samsung themselves. When I bought this phone I was counting on samsungs promise for developer support(they even sent free samples of the SII to CyanogenMOD developers).

Even though android itself is open-source, the drivers for the phones themselves are more likely than not proprietary, making it difficult to impossible for ROM developers to do anything.

My idea would be for brands to just release a vanilla android ROM for every phone in the same way that the Nexus brands work.

TL;DR: Expect the new android versions, just don't expect everything to work as expected any time soon.
[Galaxy S II General] filipeataide:
I am coming from an LG P500 (very low end) and there was 4.2.2 working on it... Do you really think that S2 will stop here? As long as there are active developers S2 will live on the same way LG P500 still lives on! :D
[Galaxy S II General] gireeshtty9:
I dont understand what makes you guys guys so happy with 4.2.2. There is no major difference in 4.2.2 over the 4.1.1 or 4.1.2 to be happy with. Nothing new to the table. Moreover 5.0 will be a new revamped version and is expected to bring a whole new UI. I am bored out of the same typical Android UI since ICS. So would like to experience new and be happy with something new..

Maybe u guys like to be stuck in 4.2.2 forever. Bingo.
[Galaxy S II General] Kaiserbenn:
Not without sources ;)
[Galaxy S II General] celderic:
I like the idea of the octocore as it only uses 4 cores at a time, hopefully a custom kernel will be released so you can set what cores you want active etc, as in 1 of the powerful cores and 3 low power cores to save battery

Hopefully it will be possible to set a different cpu clockspeed on the 4 powerful cores than the clockspeed on the 4 lower power cores. As in 1 core at 1.6ghz and 3 other cores at 1ghz

[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] hippokrates:
Hi Boldi

I suppose the easiest way would be to "update" the ROM to an english version. It doesn´t necessarily have to be a higher version, just take any that is named ....ENG

By the way, if you use the xda-developers SE ROM you can even switch the frequency from 900/1800 to 800 in case you happen to travel to the US. There is a tool included in the package for that.

I can't send or receive text while connected to my airave

Any suggestions

I have

Rebooted airave

Left airave off while I updated my prl and profile

Held down reset for 30sec on airave

Any help would be great before I call sprint
[Sprint LG Optimus G] signal34:
Sprint wasn't any help with me. I was on the phone with them for over a week trouble-shooting with them. They ended up saying it was the Airave vendor's fault, not theirs. Also, the newer Airave 2.5 won't be any help according to them.

With me, it was both texting AND calling, even when I left home. The first problem I had was I couldn't send/receive any texts or receive incoming calls until I came back into my Airave area. I would get all of my texts and voicemails. The phone would work fine for about 10 minutes in my Airave coverage, then problems. That was with ZV8 and after about 2 weeks of having the phone.

I updated from ZV8 to ZV9 and for shi*s and grins, decided to turn my Airave back on, and everything worked fine again for about 2 weeks. Now I just have texting issues when inside Airave coverage. When I leave, it starts working again.

The funny thing is that I have an Airave at work with NONE of these problems, but Sprint won't send me a new one for my home for some reason, saying they are waiting for the vendor to fix the problem.

Not really happy with Sprint's Airave tech support.

Though YMMV.

I also use Tasker and either a CM ROM or custom ROM with CM commits and have Tasker switch to 2G in places I am regularly in (like campus, it can figure this out by cell tower location or wifi proximity/connection), this saves a tremendous amount of battery.

Re:

Read the rules!

For your question, I don't know, I have stock ROM and I have my reasons for not changing, it has nothing to do with hard/soft brick. So just go through different posts and find a ROM that you would like. Follow the instructions and you will get there as long as you do it properly. You either do it or you don't, simple as.

I am completely not responsible if your phone bricks, sticks, flicks or explodes.
