CONFIRMED: Galaxy S II to get Jelly Bean!

Follow: Phones Phones

Yes you see it right! The Samsung Galaxy S II will get Jelly Bean.
The insiders of SamMobile reported that Samsung is busy to test Jelly Bean (Android 4.1) on the Galaxy S II.
The tests by Samsung are fine and Samsung will make the public KIES release version.
If everything goes according to plan you will get this update to Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean in September – October.
We of SamMobile will try to get some leaked roms for the die-hard Samsung owner!
Please do not ask for this, when we have things like this we always post after we tested first!

More good news.
Now we know the Galaxy S II is to get Jelly Bean we are also 100% sure for the Galaxy Note now too!
So Samsung will update more devices than HTC, LG, Sony or even Google to Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean
So blaming Samsung about slow updates is a bit of FAIL!!

    well I see Samsung as a total fail :)
    besides the Big Ones (S and Note) NO phone received ics nor jb so far. That is indeed something to be proud of…

    I bought my i8150 early this year, and a few weeks later it turned out that I will receive no updates from Samsung? (oh yeah 2.3.5 -> 2.3.6 wow…)
    HTC, Sony-Ericsson, Sony and even Alcatel updates its phones with the same/or worse hardware, but Sam won’t

    If they can only care the A+ customers (premium/luxury category) and does not give a d@mn for the rest then there is nothing to be proud of there..

    “Samsung is make the public KIES release version.”
    Samsung will release Jelly Bean for Galaxy SIII, Galaxy SII, Galaxy Note and probably one of their tabs. In my opinion that’s still a fail no matter what other brands do. Although I’m sure Sony will update more than 4 devices to JB….

    And HTC still hasn’t announced which devices will get Jelly Bean, neither has Samsung, so already saying Samsung will update more devices at this point is stupid. And Samsung updated fewer devices to ICS than HTC or Sony etc, so they are a fail in updates, slow or fast.

    @sam10102539 i dont think this will happend. The SGS didn’t get TW4 and the SGS+ and GalaxyW with similar hardware have different TW version. No idea why. I was suprised that the galaxy tab 10.1 and 8.9 get the s3 look.

    I hope that inside-person is right…
    Galaxy S2 deserves Android 4.1…5.0 – MAYBE (but probably not, let’s be honest)…afterall, the devise is not some low-grade hardware.

    Do this, and seal your dedication to your customers. That’s all I can say to Samsung.

    To the ppl with Samsung devices that haven’t had ICS released for their phone yet don’t bother asking about getting Jelly Bean on your device because if you haven’t gotten ICS yet chances are pretty Damn good that your not going to be getting it. Thus if your not getting ICS then you definitely arnt getting Jelly Bean obviously. Face it you bought a cheap phone or you have a now old phone & you can’t really expect a phone valued at a couple hundred dollars to get upgraded with the cost of producing a version of a new OS, it doesn’t make any business sense at all. If you want updates buy a top of the line device & you won’t have to worry about bitching. With a top of the line phone you can expect 2-3 upgrades which is exceptable considering you should without a doubt be upgrading your device at least every three years. Upgrading from ICS to Jelly bean is a very minor update compared to the update from gingerbread to ICS which was basically a complete rebuild of the OS from the ground up. Jelly Bean is just optimizing ICS & adding a few extra features, it won’t take half as long as ICS updates so don’t be so “I’ll believe it when I see it” & “ya what in 2014″ is coming & it will be faster then you think.

    “So blaming Samsung about slow updates is a bit of FAIL!!”
    Personally, I think Samsung is not smart about their ROMs & yes they are to be blamed. How? You might ask.
    For a start they have many different hardware to release updates for, so far so good. But when it comes to single hardware, you find that they release a different ROM for every country/countries in a region.
    Here in Sammobile, open the ROMs page for any device and look at the number of ROMs developed for one phone in one region say “Europe” for example. It’s a HUGE list! Imagine if they put that effort in one International ROM.
    Yes you read that right, “One International ROM”. we need a single ROM that acts as a base ROM for that mobile, Samsung can then take that ROM and do customization for carriers that requires special features.

    Building a different ROM for Germany, Italy, Nordic Countries, UK, UAE, Egypt, Saudi Arabia…etc it’s just ridiculous.
    What differences do you have there? Language & keyboard? Those last three Arab countries they use the same language & there shouldn’t be any difference in radio. Include everything in a single ROM and let the user choose the language, let him select the country & then you can install whatever offers or Samsung market for that country if Samsung wants to do that.

    I once flashed the Open Europe ROM and I didn’t find Arabic support, that’s because Samsung releases the Arabic support before Android 4.1. So if an Arabic speaking customer buys the phone in Europe he cannot write in Arabic.

    Other benefits of International ROM would be faster bug fixing. I mean who ever heard of minor update for bug fixes on his SGSII for example?

    I updated 2x Samsung Galaxy SII & 1x Note for me, my sister & father to ICS using KIES and all phones now heats up like crazy.

    If Samsung had one single ROM they would be able to test it once & for all & make sure it works properly on the device instead of releasing tens for ROMs for the same phone full of bugs & then never release any updates till the next major update if they ever decide to release it.

    I sent an email earlier to Samsung East Asia CEO as that was the closest thing I could get to Samsung mobile CEO. If someone can deliver that message it would be great.

    I loved the features in Samsung’s ROM but I flashed Cyanogenmod to have a stable phone that doesn’t start cooking itself (overheating) while browsing Twitter or while sitting *idle* on the desk!

    I still don’t know how to answer my father & sister about their mobiles heating up for no reason after the update. (Some might say flash another modem, I did on my mobile that someone said it’s stable but crashed my mobile while on call. This should be fixed by Samsung in their ROM period)

    I live in Ireland and own a Note running Gingerbread. I really love the phone, my only gripe is that I still haven’t got the ICS update. I’m on the Vodafone network, we have been told for the past few months by Vodafone that the update is coming ‘in the near future’ or similar vague answers. This is on the Vodafone official forum.

    It’s a pity that there isn’t one European version that would cover all of Europe or even if it was split into Eastern/Western Europe and that everyone would get the update then at the same time.

    What do carriers put onto our phones which need testing? I have never been able to get an answer to that question.

    I know that friends who own iPhones all get OS updates at the same time and the update runs on all of their phones some of which go back 3 or more years.

    With Jellybean running on the Note 2 in the near future we will still be on Gingerbread which is a real pity because we are not getting the best from our phones for which we have paid a substantial sum for.

    Hopefully in time the roll out of new OS updates will be sped up and get to all phone owners no matter where they live on the planet at the same time.

    Now wouldn’t that be a novel idea!!!!!

    Jelly Bean on SGS2? No Problem, if you die hard, try this:

    https://docs.google.com/folder/d/0ByOXPslK4qUyU3VsbUJWN2wzQ28/edit

    Who cannot wait and has an experimental mood can try 4.3.1, which is not running bad on rooted SGS2.

    - make backup (Titan (Apps+data), SMS Backup & Restore, Google Sync)
    - copy zip from google docs on internal sdcard
    - boot into cwm
    - wipe system/cache/data/dalvik cache there
    - choose flash from internal sdcard, flash
    - reboot, enjoy
