Samsung Rolling Out Android Ice Cream Sandwich To Galaxy S II This Month
Mar 05 2012 06:03 PM | mobile_sensei in Articles
South Korea consumer electronics giant Samsung has unveiled that its current flagship Galaxy S II handset, will be receiving an update to Android ‘Ice Cream Sandwich' 4.0, mid-March.
The company made public this news over Facebook, from their Israel SamsungMobile.IL account - reports Android news website Android Authority.
This Google mobile OS site has noted that "March 15 will be the release date for the Samsung Galaxy S2 upgrade to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich", where the Israeli version of the Samsung Galaxy S II is based on the international version.
The site goes on states that it's safe to assume that the new version of Android platform will then roll out globally, as a result of the mobile phone variant used in Israel.
Android ‘Ice Cream Sandwich' OS was seen on a number of new mobile phones launched at Mobile World Congress last week, but it is really only widely available on the Samsung made Galaxy Nexus, manufactured for Google.
ICS marries the mobile phone version of the operating system, with aspects only once found in the tablet ‘Honeycomb' 3.0 platform - where this deployment by Samsung could placate those awaiting the Samsung Galaxy S III, which never made an appearance at MWC.

still all referring to the 9100. not the i777. You could probably discuss it with the folks over in the 9100 forum, who will actually be getting that update though.
Not really new news, not a question of if we get it but when. Samsung has said for the last 2 months they will roll it out to our phone "late first quarter" which would be March. Real question is if we will be subject to carrier delays.

Please keep garbage rumors off this board.....please.
Optus testing Nougat for the Galaxy A5 (2016)
Samsung recently confirmed the Nougat update for the Galaxy A5 (2016) along with a bunch of other A series handsets. Australian carrier Optus has now begun testing the said update, with the commercial rollout expected to begin by the end of January. The phone is currently running Android 6.0.1.
Going by this revelation, it’s possible that the rest of the world will also see the update around the same time, although nothing can be confirmed at this point.
The Galaxy A5 received a security update to patch to what was considered a “critical flaw” not too long ago. While the company didn’t publicly announce what the critical flaw was, it was relieving for the customers to know that it was fixed for good.
We are looking forward android nougat for a5 2016

I just noticed Samsung released the August security patch for the S6 edge and the note 5.. what's going on with the S9 plus ? I've received 2 software updates since it's launch and I'm sitting on the June security patch.. any answers to why it seems like Samsung is abandoning the S9 line ?

Rumor is it's a quarterly release schedule.
