I've got a SGS2. How do you update it? I may leave it a while before taking the plunge. Don't want to get caught out like that iPhone lot..

It will most likely be an OTA update, just be patient

It is rooted but why should we have to do that. The desire hd isn't that old or poor in specs wise.

Apple still support 3GS with ios5 should have to rely on a team to sort.

They've basically said f**k off DHD owners

Thanks. I'm assuming you can opt out of it and then download later if needed.

I suspect the op has routed his phone to get ics on. It does annoy me how android as an is does not support older devices, my wife's wildfire s is running 2.1 I think and it will never get upgraded again unless I root it.
Apple are much better at supporting their devices.

Apple are also much better at supporting their devices that cannot run the latest os properly.

I think thats the biggest valid argument about android, that there are so many handsets capable of using it, support is a bitch.

It *could* be that HTC do bring it out as they are for other phones that are just newer.

Looking at the spec I dont see why the HD wont get upgraded, not like there are only a few out there.

Android platform is exploding with updates coming quickly. Also manufacturers are releasing new high spec phones almost weekly to get to the top of the tree. This leads to some phones falling away quickly, however there is a huge developer network producing roms and applications to allow older phones to have the latest software.


Its easy to support when all you have is a couple of phones in the last couple of years

The camera on my Galaxy S works fine.

So far I haven't found anything that doesn't work.

To update the S2, you need to download & install Samsung Kies onto your PC.

http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/us...tware/KIES/JSP

Take a FULL BACKUP & Make sure your phone is fully charged before updating.

You can currently update to 3.3.5 which has improved my battery live 30% and fixed a couple of bugs.

1 word, Lag.

Still present in the latest build and an instant turn off for many after using iOS. Google have apparently shot themselves in the foot, fundemental things are never easily fixed.

Can you be more specific? Lag where? I've never experienced any on my S2.


Edit: actually, ignore that question. I realize I'm never going to get non-bias comment from you on any phone OS...
