Vodafone's Samsung Galaxy S2 upgrades to Ice Cream Sandwich tomorrow

It was expected to come out today, but finally all those who were waiting for the launch of this one will have to stay with the desire and have a little more patience. We talk about the update to Ice Cream Sandwich for all Samsung Galaxy S2 of Vodafone in Spain. Today was the date chosen by Vodafone UK and by Vodafone Spain to release the update for your devices Galaxy S2, but the truth is that in the end it could not be that way. Tomorrow, April 13, you can update the Galaxy S2 to ICS through Samsung Kies.

The reasons for the delay are clear, it has been Samsung itself who has contacted Vodafone to inform them that it would not be possible for it to be available today. Vodafone UK and Spain have echoed this statement through their official forums, where they have reported that the availability of the update of the Samsung Galaxy S2 a Android 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich was postponed to tomorrow, Friday April 13.

This update can be done on the device through the Samsung Kies desktop program. However, it cannot be done through OTA (Over The Air), using the connection WiFi. To update the Galaxy S2 to Ice Cream Sandwich through this last route, it will be necessary to wait a little longer, since it will begin to be enabled from next week, specifically, from Tuesday April 17.

In addition to the Vodafone models, and the free versions, it is possible that the mobile phones associated with Movistar. And it is that it communicated, also through its official forums, that their Galaxy S2 would receive the update to Ice Cream Sandwich during this week, and since we are already on Thursday, it would not be strange to wait for him tomorrow. In any case, it is good news for all owners of one of these phones, who will be able to use the latest version of the Android operating system tomorrow.

      Of course it will be free! Hard question…
      They are saying that you can not do it by wifi, Wait for 17 and you do it from your mobile if you do not know how to do it tomorrow from Kies

        0For the record I am a foermr BH2 ​​owner who bought the vibrant. Actually love it. Rooted + Lag fix + wifi tether. Launcher pro. Slingbox. Pictures / videos are great. Picked up copilot for $ 2.99 over thanksgiving, which works great with the GPS (google maps & navigation not so much). Of course, coming from the BH2, I made sure I REALLY REALLY REALLY liked the phone as is. At this point, any updates are gravy. Not expecting, but if I really want one, I'll just flash.

    the truth is that the updates are fine because of the compatibility improvements etc ... but I have a samsung galaxy ace with android 2.3.3 (gingerbread) and the truth is that it is fabulous, and when something works well sometimes it is better not to touch it just in case!


    1.    Emmanuel Jimenez said

      In addition, it seems that Samsung does not update the Ace ... Certain devices, when they go well like this, it is better not to give them more cane. Good is good and that's it. Putting in more can cause you to lose benefits.

      Andrew WoodyAugust 26, 2011 If you are not the skeptic, I sseggut you could purchase an android tablet made in China. As you know, More than half of android tablets with lower price and higher quality are supplied by China Manufacture and Wholesaler.You will be satisfied with the flytouch or superpad, which have a front facing camera with the ability to chat. store you may find the best android tablet.

    by the way and this is curiosity and I do not want to contradict myself, but does anyone know if there are updates planned for ek galaxy ace? thank you


    1.    jose said

        1) Autosterioscopic 3D 4,7inchs HD super AMOLED display, with no air gap tenocolhgy 2) Dolby mobile, SRS WoW, TruBass, EQ, cristality, Noise reduction and more audio filters 3) I wanna see next TouchWiz with more slide & scroll, drag & drop elements, multitouch gestures, scrollable widgets, smooth transition effects, flying out of screen animations (it's gives adrenaline !!!) and using proximity, G, light and other sensors to generate look 4) Ice cream sandwich already has face recognition, I hope the Samsung will improve usings of this..5) Voice commands, Video subtitles & translating like YouTube, but all video files, video codecs 6) All in one media center app with live visual effects like Microsofts Zune, J River media center , Sony Ericsson MediaScape and YouTube, Flixter, Hulu, DailyMotion plugins and streaming media downloading function 7) Alternative power tenocolhgy, I think it's time to use this Similar driver to iZ3D to make all games 3D9) Image noise reduction, sharpen, auto col or / contrast filters directly for display10) Social and contacts manager app, like Sony Ericsson TimeScape, included Google + 11) Camera button, matrix with more ISO, continuous autofocus, special flashlight to increase focusing in the dark, dual microphones to record stereo sound and reduce noise 12) More performance and multitasking, I wanna forget my PC !!!

    Devis who will also reach the free? I have not received it yet and I have a free galaxy s2 with 2.3.4.


    1.    Emmanuel Jimenez said

      We have to wait until tomorrow to see what they finally do. But it is foolish for it to come out for Vodafone and not for free mobiles ... It could come tomorrow for all operators and free versions, but for now only Vodafone has confirmed.


      1.    SG2 said

        Thank you very much Emmanuel for solving the doubts, but I disagree with the phrase "foolish to leave for operators and not for free". The free in Spain we stayed at 2.3.4 while the operators have been at 2.3.6 for months… I don't know if I'm losing faith in Samsung, with the desire I had to catch the SG3….


        1.    Emmanuel Jimenez said

          As a company, I have always liked the support that Sony has given more, for example, for years. On the other hand, things like the ones you tell are incomprehensible. Most likely, with the arrival of ICS, they will focus on updating to this and will put aside the previous versions, it is what always happens.


      2.    More said

        Sometimes the download is a version surpassing the one indicated, usually to correct a specific problem. Only when there are important changes is a new version announced.

      Camera sensors have a given amnout of sensor surface area, which is split between the number of capacitors (pixels) .Given the same area and technology, increasing the pixel density decreases the per-pixel quality, because each capacitor receives less light. each generation of a given camera, increasing the pixel count would lead to a loss of (per-pixel) quality, which is generally balanced by improving the quality of the sensor. the vast majority of the cases, beyond a certain number of pixels (say, 6 MP), increasing the pixel count doesn't lead to a better perceived quality, so it would lead to better pictures to keep the pixel count fixed, and improve the sensor quality.Problem is that, thanks to the power of marketing, a relevant number of people still associates the number of pixel with the quality of an image.

    hello, a question, can it also be updated in ARGENTINA ??? I have the galaxi s2 PERSONAL company I hope you answer me ... thank you very much


    1.    Emmanuel Jimenez said

      The arrival in other countries depends on Samsung and the operators, at the moment only Vodafone UK and Spain have confirmed the data in the post.


      1.    ezequiel said

        Thank you very much for the reply! If you know something about when you can get to update in Argentina I would be interested 😉 thanks Emmanuel


        1.    Emmanuel Jimenez said

          You know ... when it will be released in Argentina depends a lot on Samsung and the local operators.

    My samsung galaxy II is Orange but I released it by IMEI, when will I get my update?
    Thank you:)


    1.    Emmanuel Jimenez said

      It depends on whether the version of the operating system is still Orange's own. You will most likely have to wait for Orange to update.

  9.   joam280 said
