newbie question - Samsung Galaxy S II Plus

So i've never rooted a phone before, all i've done is activate the developeralternative and set 1 on bakground processes cause it's so slow. Still like the phone, don't wanna change.
However now comes the question. A lot of important apps like bank apps and such says my android version will not work anymore in the latest update.
Will the android version "get upgraded" if i root the phone? Sorry for being completely stupid.
I saw before lots of different download packages for S2 plus but i have no clue what to get, i have the samsung galaxy s2 plus 19105 version.
Thanks!

:bump: anyone??? Or do i need to get a new phone?

Better buy a new phone. The development is dead

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 But it's a demo version, HELP

Hello!
My friends told me you guys could help me here, so here my story/question:
I got a Samsung Galaxy S4 from my work and I can keep it 2 months. I need to promote these phones.

Samsung Pay - Does it work for you?

Hey all, i have a quick question for you: Does Samsung Pay work on your note 10 lite?
I'm from the US and I bought my sm-n770f/ds on ebay. When setting up my phone, Samsung Pay came preloaded on my device and works flawlessly for me personally. However, I'm reading reports of note 10 lite devices not having Samsung Pay pre-installed at all, with the phone reporting that it's not supported by Samsung Pay when trying to install it after the fact.
Did your device come with it pre-installed? Are you able to use it? I'd like to get to the bottom of why some of these devices just don't have it.
Notr10 lite是可以使用samsung pay
EU Baltic Region...not worked for me? but Im not using it...period
Just in case
i think i have vastly overestimated how many people actually own this phone lmao

Can The Note 8 Do call and message continuity?

I've tried everything. To my knowledge that seems to be available to get this INSTALLED on Note 8 via these mirror links for the actual app.
Firsr things first. No I AM NOT on [Verizon].
I use T-Mobile and I purchased the phone from T-Mobile.
My Note 8 is on Android 9 though. Now that can make a difference for sure I know.
I know its old and the newer phones all support the feature built in. So, I am asking.
Has any person gotten it installed onto a not work and managed to get it to work through something new like Galaxy S7 - S5.
I have the Galaxy S7+, thia feature would be essential for me when I'm using the tablet.
Also, my S7+ is Wifi only, no Cell 4G/5G.
I've seen a post where a guy said he "Installed"
Call & Message Continuity
Does this even work on Android 9?
Help?
Really. No one has any kind of answer?

Is it possible to update an unlocked AT&T SM-N986U outisde of the US?

Hello there,
I live in Malaysia and recently, I bought a note 20 ultra 5G. I bought it online and device works fine. I wanted to update the device but it kept saying that my device is up to date which is false because I am running Android 11 with 1 July 2021 Android Security Patch Level. I found out that since this device is carrier based (AT&T), and in order to update it, I need to be in the United States, running the phone with an AT&T SIM. I obviously have no intentions of going to the United States solely to update my phone. I tried searching for answers and found no results. I'm too scared of simply flashing the latest AT&T firmware with Odin, fear of the device being bricked with no way of me restoring it or for some reason the device will be carrier locked and I can't use my Malaysian SIMs in the phone anymore. My current baseband is N986USQU2DUF2.
Is there any way that I can update the phone? Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
edit: I meant to type "Android 11 with 1 July 2021" it has been fixed.
Rule #1 if a OS is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission, let it be.
Upgrades, updates can and do break devices.
This silly stock N10+ hasn't been updated in 2.5 years and is running happily on Pie. Current load will be 2 yo in June with only minimal maintenance. Security is not an issue.

I hear you. Don't be crying about poor performance, loss of usability and functionality.
No roll back if the bootloader is updated and then you are boned if the upgrade turns into a downgrade.
My opinion is:
10 is a wash, you lose some functionality and what you gain doesn't make up for what you lost.
11 takes away more than it gives.
12 is a fubar. A complete mess. UI, speed suck and it excels at puking on its users.
13? come on... can't you see where this is going?
Testing it first before sacrificing your device be best. Dumb gf's can be useful...
For new versions wait at least a few months to see what users say.
Buy an Apple instead, 12 is a bad copy of Apple's lame restrictive scoped storage security
