Telus T989D Jellybean update: Here we go again - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Telus just updated their jellybean update schedule for the T989D aka the S2X/Hercules but surprise, surprise its been pushed back to April. "Testing pending" for what? Sign me up Telus and I will gladly leak the build to xda dev's! So who will get their first in a race to the bottom? Telus or T-mobile?

Thank God for CM10.1

yeah, i doubt I will even run the stock build when it comes out. CM10.1 FTMFW

I will probably not use stock.....but a tw rom with signal bars wouldn't be bad.

It should help them perfect jb ROMs tho. Right?

Yes, but probably around the same date

looking forward to get this JB release. I have T989D with Rogers, but I always have problem with CM10/10.1 Nighties build, I can not call in/out after use the Fongo app (free VOIP soft phone). Until a few days ago, I switched to this
SUPERLITE SUPERFAST OFFICIAL SAMSUNG JB4.1.2 w/rotation fixed
All problem are gone! battery is better than CM10.

Currently my carrier is Rogers, but I got my T989D from Telus last year, that's why I want this Telus JB release.

From what I gather Rogers' S2 LTE is equivalent to the AT&T Skyrocket. Their ROMs can be readily ported (not that I know how, but...) to T-Mobile T989, but with some issues, such as call echoing.

I am using this radio for Rogers network:
UCLK4 For I727/I727R [09-DEC-2012]
The sound quality is very good, not call echoing.
Or try this latest radio from the Rogers Official UXUMA7 Samsung Jellybean release:
UXUMA7 For I727/I727R [19-FEB-2013]

Man am I glad I started flashing ROMs. I was actually going to just wait for the official JB release when they claimed it would be here by late February/early March. Now I'm running ptmr3's Jedi CM build 3 with no issues. I don't think I'd even bother with the official update if it was released tomorrow. It would be a downgrade, lol.

You definitely right, however it will come handy to iron out some of the issues (call echo, etc) when it finally drops followed by the release of the sources.

Telus released the htc one s JB update today so hopefully we should expect it in april. (Also possible that it migt be a bit early as they dont really have any other phones lined up for an update)

Exactly, but if your running a cm10 aosp rom or 10.1 aosp you can enable noise suppression under call settings followed by a reboot and it will eliminate call echo. The sources of telco jb roms are most important as they will contribute to better performance in dev roms when the devs pick them apart for things like improved wifi and bluetooth, stable(r) kernels, network tweaks, better radios, etc.

Android 4.0.5

Hi guys !
I just wanted to say that SFR France announced Android 4.0.5 for the Galaxy Nexus, and it should arrive on March according to them. Given the fact that they modify the ROM, the official build may arrive sooner !
Picture/Link/Proof or didn't happen.
http://android.sfr.fr/maj-optimisez-votre-mobile-android-mettez-le-a-jour-previsions-7
Course, I'd rather see 4.0.4 for GSM at the moment
Such a table can everyone create. I dont trust such news without evidence.
4.0.4 and 4.0.3 aren't official released yet and you're debating about 4.0.5.
I heard it makes the battery last for a week on 1 charge.
This website is official.(sfr)
Sfr is a French mobile provider and they always provide "such a table" about future firmware update.

Oh seems nice. I'm SFR user and will reposte here if I get the ota in Mars. I wonder how they'll modify the room. If it turn out to be worse than custom roms I'll not be surprised.
With all the ics version numbers flying around it's hard to keep track. This 4.0.5 thingy would probably be something similar to 4.0.4 for Verizon LTE update but exclusive for SFR users.

4.0.3 isn't out for perfection reasons I think [sorry my bad again, 4.0.3 isn't meant for GNex apparently] and 4.0.4 is exclusive for [scratch that] LTE users, so SFR users getting a 4.0.5 update is not really surprising.

You wont get any evidence before it is actually released. SFR can say whatever they want, and any Android developper can, too.

OK my bad. Not exclusive for Verizon but probably for LTE version.
Fact is I don't know any of this for sure
So, Google is going to fragment the Galaxy Nexus line?

Depending on what changed it may be an incremental update to address LTE /CDMA issues. If this is the case it would not be pushed to GSM handsets. This was done with the Nexus S / Nexus S 4G. It has nothing to do with exclusivity but does lead to devices running different minor versions.
When appropriate an OTA will be pushed for GSM devices as well, it may be 4.0.4 or a later minor release such as 4.0.5.

Is the 4.0.4 build for Verizon? I just did check for update on an unlocked unrooted phone, it said it was up to date on 4.0.2.

It certainly is.
Same as 2.3.x versions in the past. 4.0.4 is not officially out. One user got it, we helped pull it. Thats not enough to draw such conclusions from. LTE issues will be resolved in ril and radios. That can be shipped with any build.
Don't forget LTE telephony code is now native to Android as of ICS. There is no reason for fragmentation.

I think they should skip 4.1.2 and release 4.2. But knowing Samsung and Tmobile, I know it not going to happen I think we have better chance seeing 4.2 on the Note 3.

Every Galaxy S series phone I had, the good folks at Sammy and T-Mongols (misspelling is on purpose) from way back with the Vibrant then the SG2, then the Note2, I always experienced a full OS update change. Not a partial that we just experienced. With the Vibrant, they moved from Eclair to Froyo. On my SG2 it was from Gingerbread to ICS. So if this keeps it up, we should get out of Jellybean onto whatever is next.

I think you should skip your note 2 and get a Nexus device if you are so concerned with having the newest 1st. My G1 has a ICS build and that was the 1st android device commercially available. Use your brain if you have one, 4.2 is just around the corner and already out in the form of CM10.1. Kandy Kane will be no exception and CM11 will bring it to us before sammy sends out a touchwized version of it. Do some damn research before you just start assuming things.

What the hell is wrong with the people on XDA nowaday. Did you even think before you made your comment. Of course i know CM 10.1 w/4.2 is out. Didnt you see my comment on the other thread about madmack has a working CM10.1 4.2 rom for all lte Note 2. I know you did saw my post because you made a comment below that. I wasnt talking about asop 4.2, i was talking bout official Samsung 4.2 with Touchwiz. Does CM10.1 supports s-note, s-pen, mutli-windows etc...NO. All the features included in Samsung touchwiz are what make the phone the "Note"
But to answer your question, i do have a brain and thats why i going to take the high road. You dont have to like me or agree with my comment. But i'd appreciate it if you respect me and don't use those kind of languages.

Wrong again. 4.1.2 just polishes the over all performance of 4.1.1, it it was an LTE thing the N7100 wouldn't have got it and they did. It just cleanes up some code and makes things smoother.

Wrong. It has to do with timing rather than LTE. If T-Mobile doesn't get to releasing 4.1.2/4.2 until they release LTE then they will be released at the same time.
But Samsung wants to fix thier issues while still working on 4.1.2/4.2 on Note 2. Then T-Mobile needs to work on the 4.1.2/4.2. Then they set up a time to release 4.1.2/4.2 for us. And because of the Samsung fixes it may be released before T-Mobile releases thier LTE.
Again this is all about timing.

Depends on how you see a "snob".
I personally don't like the control that Apple puts on their products. So yes I am snobbish at Apple products.
I believe that devices like Android "smartphones" are really Mobile (Cellular/WiFi) Pocket Personal Computers aka MPPC. So you can say that I am a snob there too.
But what is being a technology snob have to do with the release of 4.1.2/4.2?

Most current version is MB1, which is the same as the International Version of the phone (4.1.2), but without the Premium Suite. Most likely, we'll get 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 shortly (3-6 month) after the GS4 comes out.

The galaxy S3 will be getting 4.3 in October
But I don't think it will officially get 4.4. However does officially really matter, when you can just get it unofficially?
Also by the time carriers actually start releasing 4.4 the gs3 will be a third or even fourth tier phone in the series
Also I like the idea of KitKat it was Google one upping all those people who thought they could predict them in a creative way that also set up more advertising ect...
Eh, not holding my breath. I would rather get it unofficially IMO. Nice to brag to my friends or others
"here look, I'm running the latest of android"......and your not:laugh:

The Galaxy S3 will but ours won't. Always always always when they announce updates forthcoming they are talking about the international versions. It is then up to Samsung and the carriers to invest resources to put them on US phones. Typically this takes several months IF the carrier is interested. AT&T just got 4.1.2 and it is not a pushed update.
As for 4.4 I have no doubts about the S3 getting that version but you will be asking the same hypothetical question then about 5.0.
I could see the s3 getting Kitkat, but not for a while after all of the other phones. Just because the s3 was a very successful phone and they're still being sold like crazy. Anyways, I hope I'll have Kitkat on my s5 on release .

Galaxy S phones have always had two major updates (Galaxy S1 got Froyo and Gingerbread, S2 got ICS and JB. Since Android has had multiple versions of Jelly Bean, it is hard to say whether or not they think of Jelly Bean 4.1 and Jelly Bean 4.3 as two major updates for the Galaxy S3, but if not, then it is likely we will get Android 4.4 KitKat.

Since we don't even have a clue about a release date for 4.4 I would not venture a guess.
