i know android are going to update all us s2 users with ICS round about march time so ive heard from a few sites so what i was wondering how will the update happen?
will i have to do a update from my laptop or will it be directly from the updates on my phone ?
I am located in the UK and have a Samsung Galaxy S2. Purchased from Phones 4 U and is on the Orange Network but does not have any orange bloatware installed. The firmware is:
I was wondering who will supply my update? I cannot find anything that relates to my phone. There is an reference to Orange. Will it come via Orange and if so will it be filled with Orange bloatware? which I do not want or will it come via a different route such as Europe/Poland etc...
after failing miserably with kies to try and get update for ICS (kept telling me there was update but taking hours and then timing out)I finally received the ota update (network vodafone spain) but because I was using packet data at the time I thought I would wait till I got home and use wifi,it give me the option of postponing for a hour. When I got home no update tried forcing the update on keypad and constantly checking for update. Nothing, no update available. all day now I have been trying but no joy.
So yesterday I upgraded my SGS2 from Android 2.3 to the the Ice cream sandwich via kies. All went well except that now I can't see my contact pictures in third party applications. My contacts are all linked to Facebook so their pictures are all set to their Facebook profile pictures. Before the update, applications such as whatsapp and Handcent SMS automatically sync this information and the contact name and picture will be displayed. Now only the stock applications can display contact name and picture not any downloaded application.
So i got the update 5 days ago and ever since then my phone has been acting up. Everytime i open an app up and close it (or just hit the back button or home button) it brings up the HTC logo (which comes up when you restart or shut down the phone and turn it back up) and then says loading and then loads the screen and in my music playlist the cover album is the same for every song! wth. this has slowed down my phone also. New update to fix the kinks required! I've turned it off, reset it, left it shut off but no change. Just didn't try a factory reset so i'm not sure if i should do that but i know a friend who's having issues also so its the update not just my phone.

I have just updated my mobile 'incredible s' from gingerbread to ice cream sandwich.Now, it always vibrates and produce beep sounds whenever I touch the screen. how to disable it ?
Unable to web access a citrix server after updating to Ice Cream Sandwich. The chrome web browser locks up. What happened to firefox? It worked great on Firefox! I have a Lapdock and Motorola webdock station. I use citrix when I travel and at home.
will the xoom be recieving ice cream sandwich (android 4.0)?also can motorola or any other forum users / moderators say what will be implemented into the new operating system.so far all i know is that it will bring all android devices on to the same operating firmware, like Apples ios.
I know you guys are still evaluating the possibility of adding Ice Cream Sandwich support to your existing device portfolio, but I was wondering if there was any official update as to whether or not the Bell Motorola XT860 4G would be eligable for this update?
I understand it is still a little bit early to be asking this question, but nothing official has been mentioned regarding this device.
Since updating my Bionic with Ice Cream Sandwich I can no longer see embedded videos on any browser. This is not just a flash problem but html5 videos as well. These were playing great before the upgrade and they play great on the iphone and Ipad as well. I have to believe it is a setting somewhere.
Recently I've upgraded my SE Xperia mini pro to Android Icecream Sandwich 4.0.After upgrading I'm facing issue with Inbuilt Messaging application.It immediately clears all my messages, thereafter all messages appears back some time later .Even problem appearing in 3rd Party - PANSI Messaging application too.I've grouped my messages in folders other than to keep all in Inbox.This immediately removes all messages from folders and sits all in INBOX which is very time consuming for grouping again n again.
Just updated via Samsung Apps the camera firmware to a CDE11 or something version. Took 4 minutes to update and flash this firmware. I wonder what exactly it changed in the camera firmware? Hopefully improved things or bug fixes.I will test a few videos and see if the bitrate has changed or not.
So I live in Sweden and bough my phone in June. Had KE2 on it and wanted to update to KE7 with Kies but it wasn't available at the time, so I used a guide on this site to update it manually through odin.
Anyway after that I went away to a place with no good internet connection for 2 months and didn't really keep up to date with this site. Now I'm back home and want to root this phone to improve battery life and get the wiimote app to work.
1A. Since I updated to KE7 using Odin, and not Kies, is it dangerous to root the phone?
1B. Do I need to debrand and update through Kies if a new update is available?
2. Will the Wiimote app work if I root the phone?
3. Is there a guide to follow on what to avoid after rooting so I don't brick the phone?
I have been told I can update to 2.3.4 using Kies. I have downloaded kies and updated it to the latest version but can not see where or how to update to 2.3.4?
I have visited various websites which advise on how to update by rooting the phone, but I was hoping it would be more straight forward than that.
my samsung galaxy s2 broke down on me a week ago. How this happened was that I saw the ota update being available for downloading so I proceeded to download the update. Now, when it got the update and it automatically started to install, The phones battery died (inthe middle of the installation). when i charged it up and turned it on an error message comes up after the samsung logo saying the package installer got an error and now wont let me use the phone at all ( it freezes up after the message). I tried restarting it but the same thing happened. the phone is now unusable. i visited a phone stor asking if they could repair it but no, they couldnt. what to do? send the phone in/swap it out?
After the latest gingerbread KE7 update a few days ago the option to change the messaging theme seems to have disapeared ? im sure it was in the settings menu in the sms app
Well im back again and getting kies to work is annoying, kies is up to date, i follow everything(i believe i have) to the letter to get the phone to connect and still no success.
S 2 firmware I'm looking for some help i have just had my phone replaced after it was stolen. I'm wanting to updated the firmware with Kies but it says.your current device's firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies.
current firmware version: PDA:LPJ / PHONE:LPJ / CSC:LPJ (XXX)
