Just the other day i made a DIY on my unit by skinning the back side. It took me 30 min. I dismantled the whole unit following a document I found - I can't remember which forum, but I couldn't find a way to remove the screen from the front casing and I didn't want to damage anything. I would appreciate if anyone has some suggestions on separating the screen from case. I have attached a photo.

Galaxy S2 might not get Android 4.2 update, due to “adjustment problems with TouchWiz”

http://www.sammobile.com/2013/07/30...ate-due-to-adjustment-problems-with-touchwiz/

Bad news for all of us... :crying: :crying: :crying:
[Galaxy S II General] Modej:
Samsung Touchwiz crap

Not going to flash even if they release 4.3. I prefer to be on CM. Much more smooth and better battery life.
[Galaxy S II General] Paulius7:
Good said Modej,

I also using AOKP but with some touchwiz features 1. Because I like it touchwiz launcher.

And Second I want in AOKP that be another lockscreen but I think it's not possible :/
[Galaxy S II General] Rick Roll:
We only need egl blobs and kernel source from GS3 4.3 to run CM10.2 well (not stable but pretty decent like CM10.1).
[Galaxy S II General] -Grift-:
Agree and disagree with your comment. 100% agree with the smoothness part but sammy 4.1.2 roms with a good stock kernel offer the best battery life (Up to 7hrs screen on time, my record was 6 hrs screen-on time spread over about 1 day)

What a lame excuse for not updating.

Sincerely shame on you Samsung.

I think it's not a surprise. Sammy couldn't give us usable exynos drivers for oasp. So they probably couldn't figure it out themselves. Looks bad anyway. ..:confused:

Battery life is also another problem
[Galaxy S II General] sronweb:
Unfortunately, based on what other brands are doing, we cannot blame so much Samsung. We got last official update few weeks ago for a device which is in the market from beginning of 2011. Of course who bought the device one year after it was in the market (like me!) got a better price but having more or less one year of software support and counting mostly on XDA community to keep the device alive.

We should blame who has promised 18 months of updates but failed to keep their promises (I know HTC for example).

Most of the cases there are not technical reasons not updating devices but just marketing. I would be happy having 24 months as minimum software support.
[Galaxy S II General] deedii:
Correct me if Im wrong but I havent read any on that article that it is official? So why go on rampage blaming Samsung on the statement which might be a fallacy? You will just stress yourself. ;)
[Galaxy S II General] vj_dustin:
Exactly.

It's just that once a rumor (a sensitive one here), starts up, it catches up pretty fast.

there are about 5-6 articles by now about this on various websites, each quoting eachother as references.. XD

Let's just wait because even S3 hasn't received 4.2 yet, and as always Samsung updates the newest first!
[Galaxy S II General] mauriicio21:
I saw something about samsung skip the 4.2 and the 4.3 release directly to s3 and s2, do not ask me where, but I've been looking around, and also already be next to launch a test build for s3
[Galaxy S II General] noim:
4.3 seems a little far fetched. ....considering the aging of our device .I doubt Samsung will push any further updates for us ...

And its so silly. They said that s2+ will get the update bcuz it has more power than S2 (seems lik a marketing strategy 2 me)...

On tge the latest report it says Samsung owns 47% of all android devices.i think out of those 30% represents S2, S3 & S4 .

S2 still has a very large scale of users , its a shame Samsung is leaving us in the dark..

Well I guess its time to move on to S3 , S4 , N4 or H One ...
[Galaxy S II General] Skolotaie:
But dont blame the Manufacturers too much

Everyone should think back to the Times where Android wasnt there

Symbian times for Example... Updates came pretty Slow BUT they came and where everytime pretty Bugfree and with Really Good Performance and all that

The Update Floods on the Android OS doesnt makes it any Easyer for the Manufacturers nor the Devs i think

Google makes everything very Complicated for everyone,and i am sure that all Manufacturers first gonna bring out the newest versions to the newest Phones

Why ...Pfff Because they Have to keep The NEW things more up to date then the Old .
[Galaxy S II General] hikarugo:
Well I know other nonnexus android manufacturers are much worse. I'm not even sure the HTC Sensation and Xperia arc of 2011 received 4.1.2 yet.

But seriously samsung can't compare with those manufacturers as they are not as big as samsung.

Samsung should see how apple gives software updates to old phones as apple is the only manufacturer as big as samsung and hence their main competitor.
[Galaxy S II General] vj_dustin:
Here is where you miss the point.

Apple has like what 5 devices to support?

3GS, 4, 4S, 5

Whereas Samsung has a portfolio the size of an Apple Farm.. XD

So they focus on the newer models which is natural, to boost their sales and try to keep up with others.

And while they do, Google keeps launching updates after updates.

One such example is,

Galaxy S Advance, It was supposed to get ICS but by the time it's turn came, ICS was outdated, so Samsung directly gave it GB to JB. :p

I think we will get our 4.2 update somewhere around my birthday in Nov'13 :D
[Galaxy S II General] hikarugo:
I think what samsung should instead do is to give the best support for those who paid more for the premium Galaxy S line and note line, otherwise their image will be no better than their mid range and budget phones line.

It's their own fault since the beginning actually. Their flagships so far is S, S2, S3, S4, Note 1 and Note 2. However, each flagship got so many variants. For example, the S4 has 14 variants including the zoom and active according to wikipedia.

Samsung might be able to convince people to buy their product. However, I'm afraid they can't convince people to buy their product for the second time.
[Galaxy S II General] jmpuff:
Not exactly looking forward whether Samsung will push an update for us but they've got a point there. I think Samsung's not particularly concerned about customer satisfaction which means just like the others said that Samsung's likely to update the newer devices that's still in the market to increase their sales.

Sent from my GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II General] vj_dustin:
Woah, seriously? 14? :eek: :eek:
[Galaxy S II General] hikarugo:
Exactly. Search Galaxy s4 in wikipedia. There are 12 variants in the table such as international, international lte, south korean, 5 us, 3 china, and 1 japan carrier variants version. So there are 14 including the zoom and active. And 15 if the google edition is included
[Galaxy S II General] mrbenbiz:
Well, happy birthday to you then on 13th Nov and i wish you and me that Samsung will offer us as gift at lest 4.2 update :)
[Galaxy S II General] battleangel:
Would not surprise me one bit. What a treasonous, lying, filthy company this is. The effective life-span of even premium phones is so short that it seems more like renting than buying when you get a new model. I guess the big corporations have us just where they want. It's like we're all living in some sort of dystopic sci-fi novel.

Very disappointed in Android altogether. Would seriously consider dropping the platform completely if there were a better option. Preferably one with both open source hardware as well as software. I see no way this is ever going to get fixed, short of Google buying some SOC manufacturer and turning it open source. Either that or the release of new phones or android versions slowing considerably. Or national legislation that forces OEMs to support their products for X number of years or face grievous punishment.
[Galaxy S II General] Mcjim113:
Well google bought moto out so that would probably be your best bet for phones or the nexus line if there is a new one.

IMO there is nothing drastically wrong with android as a platform and the update cycle is not insanely fast, at least in terms of massive updates. However the issue almost completely lies with incompetent phone manufactures who like to bastardise Android (to with in an inch of it's life) to distinguish themselves in an overrun market place, then have a massive portfolio of hardware that they just can't cope with updating all of them in a prompt manner. It just makes android look ridiculous and I'm sure Google can see that :D

Apple doesn't have only 3GS, 4, 4S, 5...

Apple has to maintain operating systems in consumer and corporate enviroments as well as desktop computers, laptops, other small devices, gateways, online stores etc
[Galaxy S II General] vj_dustin:
Lol I meant in the mobile industry.

If you start counting every branch of apple, in that sense Samsung is doing an unmatched awesome job since they have to maintain a large portfolio of phones, desktops, laptops, smart TV's which all need updates.

While apple again boils down to 3-4 phones, few macbook models etc.

Though I understand that Samsung has a lot on its plate, I don't like their attitude towards rumors. They don't give a crap about what's being said. All they need to do is make a reassuring official statement that they indeed are working on our updates.

I think Samsung is abandoning us bcuz if they give us 4.2.2 update then no 1 will buy the new S2+ bcuz its in every was inferior to our original S2 (except for the new soc mayb).. so this is surely a marketing scheme...and yes our S2 can handle the new update which S2+ clearly proves
[Galaxy S II General] doctor_droid:
m a s2 user and an ex s2plus user.. lol its not inferior in any sense.. has a better battery life too.. only reason i changed it was bcoz of lack of development support..

How many firmwares did the Galaxy S get?

• 2.1 eclair

• 2.2 froyo

• 2.3 gingerbread

^3 firmwares.

Alright, how many firmwares did the S2 get?

• 2.3 gingerbread

• 4.0 icecreamsandwich

• 4.1 jellybean

^3 firmwares.

Both the Galaxy S and Galaxy S 2 were flagship phones. Both got 3 updates. Story ends here. Facts are facts, we'll have to accept them and move on.

Oh and BTW, if your on xda, and you have a stock ROM, go jump off a cliff! ;) Just kidding! :D
[Galaxy S II General] noim:
I prefer the stock rom more than any custom rom...bcuz I didnt yet find a prefect rom where everything works ...some has bugs , gaming issues, hardware video decoder does not work smoothly,etc.....I always found some problems. ...so I cannot say there is a perfect/complete ROM yet for the S2 other than stock customised one's. ..
[Galaxy S II General] andrewwright:
Every one seems to of forgot sammobile said we wouldn't get jb. As for s2+ getting it first well that was a no brainer really. Give it time. Sam still not released what is getting what so wait on them. Sammobile should stop chattin crap and wait for Samsung to say. all sammobile do is look on net and copy and paste. Site should be shut down.
[Galaxy S II General] vj_dustin:
I really hope for a 4.2 update.

Because I was all in for rooting my device when I had my LG P500.

But on the S2, I just don't see the need.

I have a 0 bug, good battery life ROM which thanks to the chipset runs smooth as butter.

Also the disable feature kind of knocks off the Titanium Backup function.

Ads, if I root, it'll just be to get Adfree :p
[Galaxy S II General] doctor_droid:
Hahaha..nothing as such. Was too lazy to type correctly... :) s2plus got a 4.2 update. I hope we get it too as we are discussing on a rumor and not an official statement :/

[Galaxy S II General] olyloh6696:
Why is everyone believing what they hear?

This was only reported on one website, connect.de, I've never heard of them, so how can we know it can be trusted?

The S2+ is probably receiving the update first because it is a newer model than the S2.

I have also heard that Samsung are having problems incorporating 4.2.2 on Exynos CPU's so this may possibly account for the delay/cancellation?
[Galaxy S II General] Paul Blake:
You are right probably we need to wait until official words from samsung or maybe directly a 4.3 rom

Why samsung put 4.2.2 on grand duos and s2+ ...cuz its not exynos device

S2 s3 note2 are on samsung s own exynos chipset and might take time to get a working version

CPU is less powerful and it has half the storage.

If you want to improve battery life on S2 simply buy a cheap Anker battery.

S2plus aint inferior cpu wise(I have used both)

Sammobile aint official sammy

Discussion is now going ot and shall be renamed as "s2p vs original s2" :p
[Galaxy S II General] andrewwright:
S3 has the leaked 4.2.2 already. I believe that Sam will jump us to 4.3 as 4.2.2 for s3 is buggy. But who knows what they will do....that's right only Samsung know. :p
[Galaxy S II General] xuweisheng:
I think this is a strategy for Samsung to sell more new device & get their sale figure up.
[Galaxy S II General] olyloh6696:
Just to end this discussion;

1) You 'used' both. That's subjective and possibly bias. You can't compare from your own usage, you have to do benchmarks, simultaneous tests etc.

2) I never said anything about SamMobile. I don't usually believe them anyway.

3) Correct.
[Galaxy S II General] noim:
Well none of the exynos processors got Android 4.2.2 yet...so they really might b having problems with 4.2.2 ...so I think they r testing the new builds on devices with few users.if anything goes wrong small amount of devices will b affected. ....S2 , S3 , Note, Note 2 have a huge number of users (say 50% of all sammy devices)...
[Galaxy S II General] doctor_droid:
There is no point in testing 4.2 on broadcom device (s2p) which is entirely different from exynos.. today galaxy tab 2 got 4.2 (its a TI based device) ...

I do agree wid ur first half.. that there may b some trouble wid exynos n 4.2 combo..

Lets wait.. :)
[Galaxy S II General] Dark Emotion:
Yes, because they are not high enough. Next phone = Nexus
[Galaxy S II General] Aegnor:
Hi guys, i think that samsung are blame us for the new update. S2 is a good phone and there's no reason why it won't update him. "Plus" doesn't know many features but only hardware changes that they don't affect the really system capabilities for running 4.2.2. Joke or not i hope it release new firmware but we don't forget that new samsung's firmware is totally white and our amoled will drain our battery too. :silly:
[Galaxy S II General] RusherDude:

Stop cribbing and enjoy the phone for what it is.. Want 4.2 buy an S4.. :cool:
[Galaxy S II General] vj_dustin:
So you want us to spend double the money we spent on the S2, to get lockscreen widgets, new status bar controls, enhanced accessibility to zoom into any app (want this badly in Draw Something 2) and maybe the Photosphere ( :fingers-crossed: )

Smart! :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S II General] bodomfan:
Would rather wait and see, surely if the s2 plus has received the update we should
[Galaxy S II General] Mineturtle33:
I think the S3 will go directly to 4.3 while the S2 will get 4.2.2 and that will be it's final update.

That's my 2 cents. (Worth $37.50)
[Galaxy S II General] kranti2064:
Even I want my phone to do the laundry and mow the lawn. Although my phone cant do it, I am pretty happy.

Looks like you brought S2 after it got JB, which was the end of cycle for the model. So although you mught have saved money, it was a lame decision. Why because, S3 is available at the price S2 launched at.. S4 is available for 40% more.

Yes, features and services cost money, if you cant live without them, spend the money. Dont blame Samsung (I am not a fanboy).

If you dont want to, learn how to flash a ROM and use one of the after market firmwares (hint: blue alien, black eyes)

[Galaxy S II General] vj_dustin:
Unbelievable.

Do you realize the Galaxy S series goes as S4 > S2 > S3 > S

Just because S3 has a quad core doesn't mean it is superior to S2.

I was saving up for a Nexus 4 but due to it's loooong delay in launch and limited storage, I looked for an alternative.

I came across S2 and S3.

S3 was INR 10000 or $160 costlier with the only added feature of better res and double cores.

I bought it this year in March and ran ICS for a few months then got the JB update.

Also I know how to flash ROM's, my post count is not all OT :p

But I have realized with S2, every 4.2 ROM has a bug which is obvious with customs, and running stock I see no need to go custom.

That is why I wish for a 4.2 stock update.

Also, my sister bought an S3 and can't stop cribbing about it's bugs and hangs!
[Galaxy S II General] kranti2064:
Better resolution, more cores and a promise for an update to 4.2/4.3.. maybe 5.0. You should have kept that into consideration when choosing to spend that kind of money. BTW officially an S3 costs about 25k.

I typically buy phones for a 2-2.5 year cycle which makes the price difference only 12.5 per day, a fair price to pay for a phone which started at 4.2.. :)

The lags were the reason why I brought the S4. And they still exist in the S4. Samsung puts a hell lot of bloat in their phones which causes them. Remove the bloat and reduce the animation scale to 0.5, instant nirvana.

I too run my phone stock sans the bloat. And the features that you talk about don't really make much of a friend to me. Novelty features, that is it.
[Galaxy S II General] vj_dustin:
I got my S2 for almost 25k :eek:

Edit: OMFG you are not kidding.

Just checked Flipkart.

And to see, that HTC One X & S3 were launched at par. While S3 has fallen to the price of S2, One X still sells at 35K.

And the funny part is, the last of S2, whatever remains in stores, still sells at 25K too.. XD

Noobs were selling S3 for 35K 5 months back :banghead:
