Samsung rolls out Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update to the Galaxy S II | SamMobile

Samsung has just started to push Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update to the International Samsung Galaxy S II GT-I9100. The Galaxy S II is the best-selling Android device of 2011 and has a very large user base that’s why Samsung keeps on updating this device with all the new Android versions as they want to provide the Galaxy S II users with their best support experience.
You might not be able to update your device to Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean right away as the update is rolling out in phases. So, it might not yet be available for your country or network provider (If Your device is Carrier branded) but don’t worry the update will arrive soon.

In the history of software updates, the new Jelly Bean update by Samsung to the Galaxy S II is by far the most major update given to a smartphone yet. As we all know Samsung’s ICS update didn’t had any UI changes and had exactly the same UI which was in its Gingerbread but this is not the case with Samsung’s Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update. The new jelly bean update breathes a new life into the Galaxy S II, Samsung has completely ditched the old UI and has given the new Nature UX Interface, which is the same as the one being used in the Galaxy S III Mini and the Galaxy S III, in its latest Jelly Bean update.

Some of the Enhancements in the new Jelly Bean Update:
- Buttery Smooth Performance & Great Stability (Thanks to Project Butter)
- Full User Interface Revamp (Same UI as of the Galaxy S III and Galaxy Note II)
- TouchWiz Nature UX
- Samsung’s S Cloud services
- New Lockscreen With Many Customization Options
- New Features like Direct Call, Smart Stay and Pop-up Play
- New Widgets (From Galaxy S III)
- Free 50GB Dropbox Storage
- 2 Home screen modes
- New Notification bar With More Notification Toggles
- Google Now

There prolly wasn't shyt wrong with your last tablet.

You remind me of my lil brother who sent his Nexus 4 back in because of 1 dead pixel. The engineers prolly looked the shyt you sent them and were like

"Ain't shyt wrong with this"

Enjoy that refurbished shyt though.

Looking for some advice on my next phone purchase. I currently own an EVO 4g (my first droid, which I've loved) and I'm looking to upgrade.

S3 vs. Note II?

Id wait a little longer to see what the S4 looks like. Otherwise, the Note 2

I haven't sent my old 1 in yet, I've inspected the replacement and everything looks like its in order, doesn't feel or look like its been used. Seems like the seal being broke is a common issue people are having though.

I questioned the rep, he says Google doesn't do refurbish...

Now I'm hearing about something called light bleed to.

Maybe I should have waited.
