Just saw this article about Jelly Bean coming soon to the S2 - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Samsung has confirmed JB coming very soon to the S2. Not quite sure if this means the Sprint version but it seems with all the leaks it could be sooner then later.

Don't trust it. Article says it will allow to beam via NFC? Really? I thought there was no chip in gs2.

If we do end up getting jb, I hope they don't screw us like they did with ICS.

No NFC chip in the Epic 4G Touch, I'm pretty sure all other GS2 variants have NFC. Sprint thought we might put someone's eye out with it.

I know the international version has nfc and we don't.

I think only the T-Mobile GSII has NFC. The int'l one came out before NFC took off I think.

I was under the impression it was already confirmed like a month ago that samsung was working on JB for the international S2

Docomo version has NFC from what I recall of seeing it.... Pretty sure the other international versions did as well.
(Had to correct myself, verified that it doesn't have NFC as I started reading more...

lol the idiots at samsung withheld the nfc chip because we got a led light for notifications.
pretty sure all the other SGS2 variants have a nfc chip but sprints.
smfh.

For a 'flagship' phone. They sure left out some stuff and gave it some bad hardware like the GPS, no NFC chip, terrible ICS update. I'm curious to see if they short hand us on the jb update too.

We have no indication that that's what happened. All the articles joked that they gave us one in place of the other. Presumably Sprint made the call about what they wanted.

I just want an actual update. Not what they gave us with ICS.

I had mentioned several weeks ago that on a good tip/hunch we might start seeing JB leaks or at the very least RDF pages with 4.1.1 starting this week. I have not heard anything else from my source on the matter so it's either slow going or they are not ready to hand it off to Sprint just yet.

I'm not too worried about it, there's also the possibility of another rumor - there will be no JB leaks as it will be more tightly controlled than previous builds. Having said that, I think our man will be dropping official-like jelly beans before anyone else :highfive:.

No offense but people have been saying that for months. I am just as guilty. Everyone just needs to sit back and wait for the official ota. And honestly OP why does it surprise you that they released to S3 first? Financially think about it, why would samsung put out an update for a phone that is basically old news.

i dont really care for an OTA but i would like the source. there is so much more we could do if we had it....
Samsung is not holding up the show Sprint is.
It makes business sense. If we had ICS first I can easily see some people not upgrading to the S3. It has a nicer screen, a physical home button and better performance. That's really all it has over our S2.
The performance isn't even necessary, the S2 is still perfectly fast and will last us to the S4 at least.

Have fun with nexus.. that is what I'll probably get too.
It took tmo almost a year to get 4.0.3 out the gate. Even if they were planning on 4.1, they would need at least that long to get it out, and by the time that happened, they would need to push 4.1 to SGSIII, and the SGSIV would already be out.

Don't think that statement is entirely accurate. First off, ICS was launched in Mid to Late November so it took 6-7 months to get to our SGS2.
Secondly, it wasn't TMO that took that long to get us the update. It was Samsung. And last I checked, aside from the Nexus, there weren't many phones that had official ICS before us. Especially in the U.S.

So HTC Released the ICS Update ROM for Incredible S...

So I was wondering... don't we basically have the same phone? I just dont understand why they can release it for the S but we are still left in the dust... http://www.androidauthority.com/htc-incredible-s-ics-update-119483/

OK but I would say about 80% of people don't root. I know that is just an estimate but from experience it seems reasonable to me. So, say vzw sold 100,000 inc2s.

I am not saying you are wrong, but my original point is that ICS is on the Incredible S, (which I think is the same phone unless someone tells me differently) and it is fine. If it was such an issue, Verizon would never release an update on any phone ever... because something can always go wrong and often does. The one way they truly know there are issues is to release an update, listen to feedback and send out bug fixes. What we "think" we know is that Verizon has had this update, since at least August if not earlier and they are sitting on it. I don't believe one bit that they are worried that this update might break something, Maybe I am a conspiracy theorist, but I think they are holding off hoping more people update to newer phones. Look at the Galaxy Nexus. JellyBean 2 or 3 months ago and Verizon just updated it about a week ago. The Galaxy Nexus is going on a year old and if they can get people to upgrade, they can also get people into this ridiculous share everything plan. I just don't think it has anything to do with them making this update perfect, because that would not follow how they have handled updates up until now...

HTC has always done from my knowledge. Oh, if you do get the OTA update, then I hope you get good coverage. Last time I did an OTA update, it took two and a half hour to download like 180 MB at full bars.

agreed, not to mention if bugs arise from the ota or post ota (that werent caught in testing or werent thought to be a big deal) then they have to potentially release more incremental updates that cost more money
i dont know exactly how the contract stuff works, but im assuming verizon paid for ics updates from htc for the tbolt and inc2 (since there are debug builds) but might be able to cut their losses by not actually releasing it...if they feel that it doesnt benefit them by releasing it
the tbolt not getting updated makes sense actually since it was released 3/11, and that puts the 20 month on contract update window for those early adopters within the next month or two
i dont see verizon doing anything to lessen the chances those users upgrade....and a new OS just might do that
inc2 was released about 6 weeks to 2 months later, but same theory applies
not to say the update still *wont* happen...but every week that its not out id say significantly drops the chances of it
now that doesnt get htc off the hook for chinese inc2 kernel source...which by my count is approaching (if not passed) their own 120 day window (which techinically by my interpretation is not legal anyway) for releasing it

actually htc has been releasing (for the first time i can remember) the ics updates for the msm7x30 phones on htc dev as RUU's rather than ota's as of late
without looking im pretty sure they did this for the desire s, rhyme, and the more recent inc s updates....they seemed to have stopped ota's through carriers for it
i guess their reasoning is something along the lines of "well the general public wont take the upgrade, so less support" and since its released through htc dev anyway i dont think they have to support it...its more like "here it is, have at it"
This will make the various ICS ROMS for DINC2 much better, since now they will be based on our phone instead of something like our phone.

Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
It's not so much it was omitted on purpose, but that Samsung has to work with the carriers so they can add their bloatware. This most likely caused Samsung to send an earlier version of the Touchwiz'd Android so that the carriers have enough time to put in their software and tweaks and still release the phones in a timely fashion. The US variants were already released a month after the international version. We probably wouldn't have the US Note II for T-Mobile today had Samsung taken more time to get multi-window working before submitting the software to the carriers to do their thing.

I also heard that Wi-Fi will be improved along with adding the spit-screen multi-tasking multi-view, does that suggest the Wi-Fi is currently unreliable?
Also what ever happened to Samsung Galaxy Note II Screen Recorder function?

Why would you think that when every other major carrier is likely getting it this month like the international Note2 has on 4.1 (before a 4.2 update that could take months for any US Note2)?
Could we get T-Mobile to comment on being competitive on this considering Sprint is releasing it already & AT&T & Verizon are expected to have it by Nov 27th?

If you click back through to the source of the story, they only list the international models, not the carrier specific models. There is no way to know if Sprint will actually make a release of anything. Based on the device being released just last fall, I'd expect more updates, but I'm never assuming anything until a release has a Sprint model number or RDFs start leaking out.

I agree Just because Samsung is releasing 5.0 for Note 2 don't mean Sprint will .

If Samsung can still be working on the outdated Sprint S2 perfecting Jellybean I don't see why they won't work on Keylime for the Note 2 or S3. Probably the last major updates these two devices get but I can see it coming. After all it seems like trying to stay up with updates is what Samsung has been aiming for the past few years. Doing so good at it I just finished reading a forbes article were even they give props to Samsung for keeping up with updates better than others. On another note I'm tempted to get an S4 after reading about the gaming capabilities. Opinions?

Also if you think about it all Galaxy phones got three major updates.
Galaxy S1 = Eclair -> Froyo -> Gingerbread
Galaxy S2 = Gingerbread -> ICS -> Jellybean
Galaxy S3 = ICS -> Jellybean -> Hmm I wonder if we have a pattern here...

With the international model being darn similar to ours... So long as the modem drivers don't change much it probably wouldn't be too painful to port.

Sprint might but you can bet it will be way behind the others. It always is.
Just think... The epic touch has been seeing jelly bean leaks since November and still no OTA so...

Didn't the Sprint S3 get JB first in the U.S.? I maybe wrong. I can't search it now since I'm grocery shopping with the old lady.

Lol. One of the many, many reasons why I won't but htc ever again! But again like I said the sprint epic touch is one is the last to get jelly bean. It still hasn't but the rest of the world had so yeah I wouldn't and don't expect 5.0 for us sooner than others. It simply won't happen. Never has. But I'm good with the many leaks I'm used to. Hope it continues.

Every phone I have had with Sprint going all the way back to the Samsung Moment was incredibly slow at getting updates.
Well get key lime pie for our l900's we might be last to get it but who cares. Even if sprint don't officially release it, our talented devs can hook us up with some anyways.

Very true. But lately Sprint has been on a roll when it comes to updates. At least we get updates faster than big red phones. Definitely looking forward to see what more amazing things this phone can do.

How are we going to be last? I believe the galaxy S 2 has jb already on sprint. Not officially but team sextape hooked it up. It works amazing on my epic touch. People on the other carriers are still waiting. And like I said earlier the Sprint galaxy s3 received JB first as I recalled. I know sprint and samsung came out with updates late in the past, yet, you can't ignore their recent efforts.

Yes I totally agree with you. Team sextape is amazing and has blessed us with multiple builds on our e4gts But, multiple s2s around the world in many different regions have already had this update pushed out by way of OTA and WE HAVE NOT. Hence why we are last. And will always be LAST. Even Canada has pushed it out and Sprint has not. We only make up so many users on Xda. Most users do not even know what sextape is lol. So that's why we are saying we are last... Because we ARE!

II see your point but I was comparing Sprint to other Us carriers. When it comes to international updates we are far behind unless you have an IPhone. Either way Sprint is getting better when compared to other us carriers.
Agreed. Sprint has gotten better as far as in the US. And like we have mentioned.. We have sextape lol. I've had jelly bean on my e4gt since November of last year. Who the hell knows when it will actually get pushed now with the talk from Sammy about 4.2. But leak they should so for us it really doesn't matter.
