Hey there people with lovely devices (yup, i really like my N8010),
My work at the moment is explaining how tablets work to people who don't even know how their phone work. About 400 people bought a galaxy note 10.1 and many of them are waiting for an update to 4.1.1 (or 4.1.2 ofcourse) as many people saw it on my rooted, updated device. Also, i told people in december that the update will come soon.......hmm....
Does samsung give any information about when they plan updates? Is there a way to reach them?

Samsung announced that there were several devices other than the S3 (their latest) that will get Jelly Bean update.
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_announces_list_of_devices_that_will_get_jelly_bean-news-4853.php
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?faq_id=FAQ00050212&fm_seq=55187 This is mostly for the S3 series.
Code:
The list includes the following devices:
Galaxy Tab 2 7.0
Galaxy Tab 2 10.1
Galaxy Note 10.1
Galaxy S II
Galaxy Note
Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus
Galaxy S Advance
Galaxy S II LTE
Galaxy Music
Galaxy Chat
Galaxy Ace 2
I8530 Galaxy Beam
Galaxy Ace Plus
Galaxy Mini II
Galaxy S Duos
It was announced by Samsung that these devices will also get official jelly bean. As for if our devices will officially get it we don't know. Our phone is considered Galaxy S II LTE but we dont know yet as our phone is also labeled Skyrocket and there is also an international version labeled Galaxy S II LTE. But if the original Galaxy S II will get it there is a good chance we will also get it but that all depends on Samsung -> ATT.
On the better side we are on the list on CM10 M2 that were released yesterday and so far 4.1.2 has been really good, may have minor kinks here and there but so far its good for a daily driver. So if you want to test drive Jelly Bean you can try out the various builds in the developmental forums. There is the CM10 and AOKP then theres various customized ROMs by other users where they tweak it even more for a better jelly bean experience. :good:
Based on the list here: http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/manufacturer.php?m=101 I can't find the international SII LTE, and based on the specs I found online, it looks like our phone (dual core, where doesn't the international version (whatever it's called) have 4?).
I have heard sometime in Q4, which means any time before the end of the year. That said, CM10 has official nightlies for our phone and AOKP has what should be considered an official build as well. Both work well, as do any of the many builds out there based on those.

The i9210 is the international version and labelled officially as Galaxy S2 LTE the specs are really similar to the skyrocket but not exactly the same for example CPU is the same maker and speed but slight different model. The size of the phone is slightly different and they have the international design for button placement (2 touch buttons one home button in the center which they made standard with the S3 rather than having different designs) so we may or may not get it officially but I wouldn't fret too much about it as we already have a working build.

Were you looking for JellyBean or were you looking for TouchWiz? As many have mentioned, the SkyRocket already has an official CM10 ( JellyBean).
I think you might be asking for an official TouchWiz JellyBean ROM. I would hope to see Samsung leaks for a TWJB ROM soon.
No official word for our device yet.

I think he meant official Samsung ROM, not CM10. I'm to looking forward to get JB official ROM if it's ever coming out.
I love NFC so having a custom ROM wont do it for me, if NFC is available on one of the custom JB ROM ill give it a try.

NFC is a hardware function. Every ROM I've tried has it built in, as long as the hardware supports it.
I can confirm that it works on SlimBean. I transferred several pictures to my mom's S3 via NFC.

Thank you for the info. I know some Skyrocket ROMS that dont have NFC working (according to the builder). But will give a try to SlimBean.

My guess would be never since it's a low end device which was announced in July 2012 (at least according to GSMarena). Try finding a JB ROM for your phone if you're desperate for an update (which shouldn't be too hard at all, seeing as you're on XDA).

Doesn't matter chances are you won't get it. Unless you've read a previous announcement about it your device will most likely not live to see the day it gets JB

Search for Cyanogen Mod for galaxy S duos .
It will help
I think samsung will not give like galaxy s1 ICS we are waiting for it long time but didn't give only gingerbread till now, the only way is custom rom

Pff, their main Tablet hasn't even gotten JB yet outside of a select few. Let alone a low end phone. Samsung is notorious for terrible support to devices older than half a year.
Probably never
The price of S Duos has been going down steadily. Currently, it costs Rs. 9699 on flipkart. Samsung probably wont spent anymore on upgrading a low end device.
Hello everyone, I'm new here so if this is in the wrong place forgive me. I am interested in getting a samsung galaxy s2( im with tmobile if that is important) and updating to the latest version of android. Is that something that is possible for someone who is not knowledgeable in hacking a phone to any degree? If needed, I suppose I can find someone who knows what they are about and pay for the OS update. I just want to know if it would be worth it to buy the galaxy s2 and even try to update the software. In short, I don't need the latest and greatest in terms of hardware, but I did want the latest android version. Thanks in advance.

Hi
Samsung galaxy s2 is worth the buy but unfortunately its stuck with the 4.1.2 jellybean update officially
However you can always get the latest android version using custom roms
I am runing the latest android 4.3.1 version using the cyanogenmod 10.2 custom rom without any problems(t mobile variant also has the latest cyanogenmod 10.2)
And the advantage of the custom roms are they are way better than stock roms that come with the phone and have unlimited tweaking options
You can always do it yourself cause it is so easy and you can find many tutorials here in the xda forums and you can also find someone who deals with the custom roms and get you with the latest update
Good day
Hi Guys,
This is my first post..I have a samsung Note 3( SM-N9005), and i am from the *rse end of the world, where everything including updates come last.
I wanted to upgrade my device to Kitkat but its not yet available by samsung here.
I am not too aware of flashing the rom or root, as i havent done it before when i had an s3
Can anyone give me an insight into these terms ???

Start from here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3#root
The phone i am looking to get is called the samsung galaxy appeal in USA, or the samsung galaxy ace q in canada.
the main draw to this phone is its design - a real slide out keyboard.
but im just confused as far as which directions for rooting i would follow? I cant find any directions specific to that phone model, only the "samsung galaxy ace" but that and the phone I want are quite different. the model number for mine is sgh-i827D, if that helps.
My plan was to play around with it and put the latest (stable/recommended) version of android onto the phone before adding any personal touches. I know its operating system is older now but i really do enjoy the physical style of the phone itself.
Any advice would be great, thanks!
If it helps, once i root, as far as i know the only thing id want to do is upgrade the android version.

Latest official Rom--> NOT AVAIABLE (or may be i'm dumb)
But i thought that was the point of rooting, so that way technically every rom is available to every phone?
Ive seen people say they got their regular ace running version 4.4

Ace on 4.4 is possible but not recommended as its just a bit too slow for KitKat. The point is that custom roms are communtity made and if there is no community, bacause of neraly no one owns the phone you have, there will be no custom roms.
I was not even able to find the stock rom for i927D provided b samsung on the internet. I would always inform myself about the abilities to mod a device before buying it.
