interesting. Lets see what happens.

Don't think so...Its most likely to be Exonys based sgs2 which has ICS for quite some time...
Our's is qualcomm snapdragon based...the only variants of which is our hecules and att skyrocket..

just flash any ics custom rom for galaxy s2

the engadget article its linked from specifically says global version of the phone, so we are out of luck. that said, the latest ics leak works great.

There already is leaked version out and rotation is fixed. At this point the only things which would add anything new are if skyrocket or t989 kernel ICS kernel source is released or the official t989 is out which would have wifi calling.

Thank you! This is what people need to realize. Official ICS for our phone won't bring anything new except wifi calling. The ICS roms we have now are pretty great and Samsung themselves will have to release the kernel sources so we can get things like BLN support. We don't really need to wait on T-Mobile...

Echo
The other problem seems to be in-call echo. Looks like alot of people flash an ics rom then go back to their old one. This is the reason I haven't taken the plunge. This thing is alot trickier than my HD2 was I'll stick w/ Beastmod 5 for now.

Your gonna like the ota for the t989. It will have hardware specific programming and result in ultimate ics results.

hardware specific programming? The Hercules is almost identical to skyrocket, besides screen rotation and lack of late, both possess same gpu and are snapdragon s3.
As for official ics, as others have said, u will gain nothing. Only real improvements no require ics source code, for either device.

Not an official one, we don't even have ICS

yes, definitely

i want to ask for an official update to Android Jelly Bean, because I read that many phones will receive updates
Sent from my GT-S5660 using XDA

Who really knows? But we don't know requirements, so we can't predict it

the rumoured jellybean wasnt even release yet, hell the name jellybean itself its just still a rumour.
i think u might mistaken it with current ice cream sandwitch.
and no, before u ask, theres no official ics for gio, and probably wont be available either.
but in case u really did mean to ask about the still-just-rumour next android, i can just facepalmed.

i saw a video with this version of android and i saw s galaxy y with a image of jelly bean

Had a chat with support of Samsung.Looks like Samsung just don't give a froyo about anyone who uses Gio,Young or something like that.We won't be getting this update from the official source,I suppose.
p.s. i think some devs will definitely bring this to us.XDA shall save the day once again

sure sure, let's get our hands on ICS first, as even the name of 'jelly bean' isn't official, however there was something with those on a GOOGLE announcement, and it is said to divide the tablets and phones again..

someone says that J requirement is less then I ?

And samsung is not going to update a low end device wich is a year old

The name Jelly Bean is official and google will unveil it in late June or early July...
devices with Jelly Bean will start to roll out by the end of the year..and yes..
we still do not have a proper ICS build jelly bean is too long a shot...

I've got some news:
Google tries to fix their fault - Android fragmentation. As you know, Google gave tablets Android 3.0, which smartphones didn't get. It was big mistake. Now Google fixes it by giving new Android with HUGE requirements. So, nope, probably we won't get this version...

HUGE requirements will continue the fragmentation.
Devices like the desire hd or similar, wich gets ics, but will be stuck on 4.0.
About 30% will be stuck on GB because of the grow of android this year, but will be smaller, as most new devices launch with ics.
And so on.
Updating should be like IOS, when an ipad 1 or iphone 3gs is still upgradeable to ios 5.1.1, wich has been released 2 weeks ago.
These are limited in the app store, but who cares?

That's the difference between a monopolized environment and a liberal one. Monopoly is easier to control, predict and dictate. But don't be as naive as to think apple doesn't turn obsolete old equipment with their OS upgrades. The timeline is just much more dilated than those of the less controled environments.

Samsung Galaxy S3 Jelly Bean Update

We just had a leak for ICS. So if anything it will be ICS. And don't expect official jb for about 2-3 months after international gets it. At&t is really slow with it.

Here's a quick Youtube video of the new Galaxy S3 update that will trickle out eventually for US carriers. This should answer most of your questions. It's only available for International as of now:

No Jelly Bean for Captivate Glide?

Samsung has released a list of devices that are scheduled to be updated to Jelly Bean. Missing from this list is the Captivate Glide. Oddly enough, they've chosen the Galaxy Chat (a phone that clocks in with a single-core, 850 MHz processor and a 1200 mAh battery) as the qwerty phone to update. (Indeed, all the phones to be updated are "Galaxy" phones.)
Source: The Verge

If our phone can run ICS, it can run JB, Samsung can't try to blame TouchWiz in this case like they did with the first Galaxy S when they said that the phone was in fact capable of running ICS, but not with TouchWiz, in our case, if the phone can run ICS with TouchWiz, it can run JB with TouchWiz.
So, please, Samsung, enough with the BS, and start working on JB for the Glide, I don't want to have to wait till 2013 to get the proper JB Source Code, because, that's the only thing that matters for me, the Source Code with the propietary drivers, because, let's be honest, who the f*ck wants JB with TouchWiz on top of it ? I want pure, stock, unmodded, untouched, vanilla Android.

It's no surprise, really. Doing ICS for the Glide has proven to be a hell of a lot more work than they anticipated and it's only sticking to their word that's keeping them at it.
We WILL have Jellybean ROMs of our own. There's no important kernel differences, it will come in time. Have patience, this is a ***** of a phone to develop for.

If Samsung Galaxy R gets Jelly Bean, then there's very, very good chance that we, me, and you will get to have Jelly Bean OS, just it's difficult to develop something that work, due to the difficulty of dealing with the useless digital blobs. It's like building a house without the foundation AND excepting it to stand.

Aren't updates for carrier based phones dependent on carriers (in this case AT&T or Rogers)? So Samsung won't comment on those phones. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
Didn't At&T make the initial announcement last time for ICS?

That is one thing I hate about Android, the updates and not getting them.I must admit my next phone may be a nexus as those always get the updates since they are the ones Android is developed for. I may have to say by to the hardware keyboard and replace it with a Bluetooth keyboard case. Till then 2 more years with my glide and what ever little updates that intakes.

LOL I actually hate the proprietary phones much more. They are 100% useless if you are looking for a phone that you could customizable. I perfer Android more than any other phone OSes (personal perference).

Nexus is running Android. It is the phone Google makes all its builds for. Nexus is fully customizable as well.

I know Nexus is an Android hardware, in fact I wish I can afford to have this (pretty expensive - $400 to 1,000 depending on how "fresh" it is on the market and what's inside it).

hello d man is working on a custom ics rom for us. once he has finished that project he has promised us a jelly bean custom rom as well. so dont panic, the dman is to our rescue. I can tell you if you are expecting to have an AT rom for jelly bean they will mes that one as they did with the ics rom update. So i wont install any att rom from samsung and will wait for the dman to provides his custom rom and will have no more at bloat ware and it will bea vanillia experience of android ICs and Jelly bean since he is working with pure Android code from google AOsP, and AOKPA. If i am spelling these short codes names.

I thanked you accidentally. The Galaxy Nexus is actually selling for a pretty reasonable price on the Google Play store, I think around 350.

I see. There are MORE than one Nexus out there, though.
BTW, I think you can remove the thank.

NO, none till date.

Thanks for reply, I am currently using xperia pro, and would like to shift to glide because of better hardware spec. How would to rate glide and associated experience. Is it worth switching? Keyboard is real concern here else better spec phone alreay available in market.

Keyboard's nice, yes but also the USB-OTG, dual-core CPU and OLED screen were the selling point for me.

haha i was about to say the same thing but yeah, dman (the guy behind every good rom) has promised a jb rom for our phone. im so excited that im pretty much checking the forum 5 or 6 times a day.

YAY! Been looking forward to have Jelly Bean version of Android.

Yeah Dman and The Collective are beasts at making roms, and they are very active in the xda community.

Greetings.
I was switching from an MK16i, and i have to say it really worth it! The Captivate Glide beats the Xperia Pro in every aspect, except battery life (it's roughly the same).

Jellybean

Can somebody tell me if the samsung captivate glide will get the jellybean update please
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda app-developers app

Officially. No.
Sent from my SGH-i927

To add to that: BUT, it's incredibly easy to flash, and runs CM10.1 incredibly well. If you want the latest and greatest you probably shouldn't be relying on official releases anyway

I wouldn't say incredibly well when one of the basic smartphone features like video recording or voip don't work.
