Just be patient. I am sure it will come out soon. And when the first person gets it, they will post the OTA on XDA so you can get it ASAP and before you get the OTA yourself. How the update for my GNEX 4.0.4 went as well as the ICS update for my ASUS Transformer. Someone posted the OTA online and I didnt have to wait for the OTA to come thru on my devices.

You don't think that Samsung will ever actually release ICS for it...do you? Oh please....GS3 is being released soon. For them GS2 is yesterday's POS and they could care less about it at this point.

What the hell are you talking about? They will release it. You think they would let this phone not receive ICS? That would be poor customer support and drive people away from Samsung products as you couldn't trust/rely on them to deliver any updates for their phones. You really don't know how the business works, do you? Plus, the SGS2 is a popular phone, and will have good support at xda.

Obviously, you dont know what you are talking about. SGSII got phone of the year last year and I doubt Samsung will ditch it. And the SGSII is a CURRENT phone and not old news. And the rumors about the SGSIII being released next month are just that...RUMORS. Until Samsung officially announces the SGSIII, no telling if it will be soon or at the end of the year.

Yup, I've tested quite a few. All unstable for now.

Never heard that.

Some random on Twitter said it was coming out on 1st March and all the tech sites picked it up for some reason..

Q1 2012 is the official word from Samsung so they've got almost a month yet to keep to their word :)

If they COULD care less, that means they must care about it.. I think you mean "couldn't care less"

Sorry, one of my bugbears ;)

Too bad none of you actually live near me....cause I'd love to make a wager on this. I'd bet big money on Samsung never actually releasing ICS for the GS2.

So the official statements from Samsung saying the SGSII will come out Q1 2012 is just a bunch of lies by Samsung? Would be dumb of them to release a statement like that and not follow thru with it. its not the the G1 which cannot handle TW and ICS. The SGSII can fully handle it and it will get it.

I have been using Thebyani Rom V3.2 for SGS2 ICS Rom for past week. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1482574. Only issue I had was that Chrome beta just crashes constantly. So used the stock browser that came with the ROM.

Post your address, and I'll swing by to collect. I'll drop a grand saying Samsung releases it to phone providers within the next 25 days.

It's also too bad, you have no clue where we all live.

    • Google reshuffles its AI coding team as it struggles to catch Anthropic

      By +Edouard · Posted

      I'm so conflicted with the Google Search AI summaries. On one hand I don't like how it's harming smaller websites by greatly reducing traffic which will harm us all in the long run but on the other hand those AI summaries often give me the information I'm after. I have never once clicked on 'show me more' though and never will.

      Not a single company as small or large it may be is obligated to subsidize its products and sell them at a loss. Your way of thinking is socialist and as a West German with a German brother state but impoverished by state dictatorship and a socialist command economy situated to the East i can tell you - this kind of thinking very quickly leads to products not being produced anymore at all. EDIT: That does not mean that I find state support for social needs unreasonable. Quite the contrary. Together with solid workers' rights we exactly had exactly that in Germany for decades in the form of the Sozialstaat which was as the scandinavian social democratic very successful - until the number of people who drew from those resources dramatically increased (ironically a project of social democrat and green proponents).
    • Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027

      By Hamid Ganji · Posted

      Apple reportedly has a second-generation iPhone Fold planned for 2027 by Hamid Ganji The iPhone Fold is one of the most anticipated tech products expected to debut this fall. It will be Apple’s first foldable iPhone, ushering in a new product category for the company. While the first generation has yet to hit the shelves, a new leak suggests Apple has already begun work on its successor. Chinese leaker Digital Chat Station claims that the second-generation iPhone Fold has already been confirmed, meaning Apple could launch a successor in fall 2027. The foldable iPhone is also reportedly referred to as the “iPhone Ultra,” though it remains unclear whether Apple will ultimately choose that branding, especially as Samsung is rumored to rename the Galaxy Z Fold 8 as the Galaxy Z Fold Ultra this year. The leaker also claims that the second-generation foldable will feature a wider folding display while reusing the same screen found in the first generation. Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected to feature a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.3-inch outer screen in a passport-style form factor. It has already been reported that Apple plans to change its iPhone release cycle in 2026 to spread launches throughout the year. Under this strategy, the iPhone Fold is expected to debut this fall alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. The standard iPhone 18 and iPhone Air 2 are expected to arrive later in 2026 or in early 2027. Speaking of the iPhone Air, Digital Chat Station says Apple remains undecided about a third-generation model. The company is reportedly waiting to see how the iPhone Air 2 performs in the market, and if sales disappoint, a successor may never materialize. As we reported this week, the iPhone Air has not been scrapped from Apple’s plans. The second-generation model is reportedly scheduled for spring 2027 and could introduce upgrades such as an additional rear camera for ultrawide photography and improved battery life.
