Ice Cream Sandwich update for AT&T's Samsung Galaxy S II delayed for technical reasons
Share:
 |
An AT&T Rep says on Live Chat that the Android 4.0 update for the Samsung Galaxy S II is delayed |
So why was the Android 4.0 first made available and then apparently pulled? One AT&T customer decided to discuss the matter with an AT&T rep via a Live Chat. And during this chat, the rep said that the update has been delayed due to "Technical Reasons". There is some speculation from Samsung and AT&T reps that the update will be attempted again this coming Saturday, but during the Live Chat, the rep said that he/she had no new details because the update was still in the process of being tested.
Some who managed to download the update before it was pulled are complaining about lag, which might be why the update was pulled to begin with. Those with the device can wait until Saturday and see if they have the opportunity to try again.

WP8 will come ONLY at he end of 2012 and it can current WP7.x devices can never be updated to it...
So what is the use of buying WP7.x devices NOW???? What about users who have bought Lumia800/710/900???
Delayed update is much much better than NO UPDATE, imho...
WP7.8 is just a new home-screen + WP7.5... Worse than an eye-wash, imho

Agreed and I just bought Lumia 800(2 weeks ago :( )
But MS/Nokia has no choice, mean while I am happy with my device. WP7.8 update is more than welcome ;)

Dammit! And I was going to download it tonight when I got home. Well I guess this is a good thing. I woulda been pissed if I downloaded a laggy ics. Still annoys me. How long do we gotta wait?

Oh for crying out loud. Why does AT&T keep insisting on putting Samsung updates out over Kies? They should do it OTA like every f**king body else. If I wanted non OTA updates I'd go for a f**king iPhone 4.

iOS now allows ota update
HTC's update always been ota
Samsung now allows gs2 i9100g to be updated ota

When I was using my Captivate every day - I never did official updates through the phone directly or KIES - usually someone crated a custom ROM with the same info with even more features.

I downloaded the update, and have experienced no lag, but I no longer have random reboots and also have greatly improved battery life

Was this update just for the regular GS2 SGH-i777? Or did it include the GS2 Skyrocket SGH-i727 also?
