On samsung.com website I got a link as follows to ask questions about your smartphone. So I got an idea, everybody from XDA community should ask for update for our lovely Galaxy 3. So that Samsung may be convinced to provide an update.
http://www.facebook.com/samsung.mobiles?sk=app_142874499080353
It may or may not be successful. But we have a chance for try. Isn't it?
Not a bad idea
There has been 2 threads like this and they already had many users signed petition but it didnt work... So i doupt this is going to work either
Just my toughts

great idea mate.........
everybody please follow the above link and search a topic named "Gingerbread for well deserved Galaxy 3/ i5801 apollo" and click on "me too" button.....so that the question and idea can be of many users......
I had already this kind of thread. I made a GROUP will everything official fb twitter mail. It was going great. But many didnt support it. I got only 325 or somewhat less signs on the petitions. Atlast I left that. Its not going to work. It can work but we dont have support.
A similar attempt made by Spica owners for 2.2 didn't work too. Samsung gives only one update per device, excluding Galaxy S series.
They have a contact with google to keep their devices 18 (i think) months up to date if their hardware can handle it. I mailed samsung about this and they said the g3 has a hardware limitation!
They just have to take a look at here and see there's no limitation!
ya.. lets give a try.. "try and try till we succeed"...

There IS NO hardware limitation!! The deal was made when sgs2 came up and the deal was ONLY for new devices such as sgs2, ace, gio, mini and so on.
And IMO trying to ask for update for sg3 is NOT going to happen... Why wont you all accept it? Samsung wont give us an update because they stopped making g3 AND g3 is not bringing any money to samsung, gio, ace and mini are now bringing money to samsung so they have support! Its called business... Now dont say that it worked with HTC because HTC is NOT samsung! And dont start hating me for this, its just the truth and if you cant handle it then go buy an HTC!!!

I said guys this will NOT WORK. Its already tried by me. First you will get enthusiasts supporting and there will be hope of this going to work at last it will loose its momentum and you would stay at only 200-300 people supporting you.
take a look at the link.
It was by me it has 379 ppl support. Do you think its enough?

Samsung has to say that there will be an update, otherwise no one will buy it. Thankfully we have devs who actually care about making the most out of the product. I'm not hating on Samsung. Every OEM does it.

Manufacturers usually don't announce something and take it away. If they don't want to offer something or aren't sure they just say it's "under consideration." For months sometimes. In addition the U.S. carriers have all published a list of Samsung devices to be updated and all the G-Tabs other than the original 7" are on it. If Samsung was just kidding I'd doubt they'd take the U.S. carriers down with them.

Don't know about you but my tab came with Homeycomb version 3.0 and has updated twice to version 3.2 now. On top of that I was online with Samsung and was told ICS will be available for the 10.1 with in the month.

So true. I've had the same experience with different manufacturers, and they are pretty much the same, depending on which device you choose. As soon as they have new products on the market, they tend to put other products on the backburner. Sad but true. Only thing you can do to create a difference, is complaining to the manufacturers again and again, and not on forums.. that want do nothing for nobody..
Still put my two cents in Samsung.. so we can get a working camera

If only it would please them to stop competing with LG for the Delayed Update Award, we'd be in business.
What freaks me out is we still havent seen a single leak.. while its by far the most popular 1st gen Android tablet.
The only reason I see for this is "a" build exists, it isnt being tested anywhere but in Samsung very own labs;
Not a single carrier or anything close to it has yet got to test it on its network. =(
I dont see it poping up on my tab overnight even if Bell says I should be hopefull. This is going to be a long summer.
Guys, you'll get your update, the TAB 10.1 is a popular device and all the 2011 line got the update or is getting it...
See my situation :
- My Tab 10.1v wil NEVER get updated.
- My EU Atrix will probably NEVER get updated while the US will get the update...late 2012.
- My wife's Ray got the update : it's filled with bugs, features that are not activated (auto light, auto flash) and it's super slow although the device is barely less powerful than the Nexus S.
So shut up, spoiled kids...
I hope Samsung will not act like Motorola.

That would put them well over 2 months late. When they first announced it they said 1Q which would of been March. Now I feel they are sitting on the update until the tab 10.1 v 2 has had some time to sell. They are basically the exact same hardware.

Which Christmas? This year?
One may say it's a little early but I had started a petiton to Samsung to provide an update to our Galaxy Tab, either to JB or to ICS but with proper user experience and by that I mean better battery life, better reception and fixing every bug that the recent update brought. Here's the petition text:
" As we all know, Samsung didn't include the Galaxy Tab in it's Jellybean update roadmap. I think that's quite unfair, because there are a lot of slower devices, even by Samsung, that got their update (and have similar market age). Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 had it's market debut on may 2011, so it's a 1,5 year device. In mobile world one would say it's old, but independent developers shown that it's capable of doing a lot of things that newer devices are capable of. One of such features is the ability to run Android Jellybean (4.1). Now we all know that it's easy to argue that Android Jellybean with Touchwiz UX won't give a proper user experience (it won't be as fast as it should be). I'd ask, why not let the user choose? As far as I know, the American version of Galaxy Tab 10.1 came without TouchWiz preinstalled, and no one complained (the update with TW was given but that's not the case here). Now part of this petition is to try to make Samsung develop an update for our Tab with newer version of Android BUT I know it is hardly possible (mainly because of money involved - they prefer to sell a newer model). So I'm also asking Samsung to fix that crappy update they had given (the ICS one). I would like them to know that I'm NOT GETTING PROPER USER EXPERIENCE (crappy battery life, low wifi & 3G signal, etc.) with that update and it's not because of old hardware and such. It's because they didn't work hard enough. I would be happy if you sign the petition, even if you don't own the Galaxy Tab 10.1 because it is important for the community. Thank you!"
And here's the link to the petition:
http://www.change.org/petitions/samsung-mobile-update-the-samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-4
Please read the petition and sign it if you agree. Also please spread the word, the more the better. Also if someone knows an email to some Samsung decision maker somewhere in Samsung's HQ in Seoul, please provide it here so I can add it in the petition.
Also please leave the topic clean of OT.
Thank You!

You joined XDA in 2007, then you must have known that this is the "Android Development" box. There's no development in this, posting this in the General Forums maybe more appropriate.

As stated by GSMArena website there will be no Android 5.0 update for Galaxy S2 and obviously should apply to the variants too.
Although this news is leaked from the company's insider, it may be true. This news may be highly disappointing to many. Here's the link. Go ahead check it out.

3 major upgrades for a 2 year old phone still put Samsung as one of the better ones in terms of upgrades ...
jelly bean 4.2.2 is definitely the latest that i expected.
the s2 is too old but still good.
morover the most of us will get a new phone very soon because of the contracts.
and this phone will get android 5 or higher in the future.
Gonna upgrade to another manufacturer i think...since the uk galaxy s4 will be a snapdragon based model and not the octocore we were hoping for...key lime pie will be nice.

Still not sufficient. A 650€ flagship should be supported more than 2 years and 2 poor versions. Ics & JB...
Or at least let the community do their job...
I totally agree, and don't understand the attitude of some people here... I didn't buy the phone just to replace it at the end of contract. It's still working perfect and I don't see the need for a replacement. Samsung should just let the community handle the updates if they are to lazy to do it themselves.
S2 till it dies, and when it does, another s2.
Fu*k it, I'll buy a couple s2 when they get 300 bucks cheap here (It's still at 600 bucks unbranded, 400 branded, crazy).

Ok, chill out now, no need to get sentimental.
I really wanna see 5.0 and what it's all about, I'm somewhat skeptical on the gigant upgrade that would represent against JB.
If a couple of devs make it work with no issues on their ROMs I don't see why we can't lobby up and ask for that update.
I mean, samsung devs vs xda devs...I'm sticking with our troops.
One thing's for sure, if the galaxy nexus gets it, I'll burn tires right in front of Samsung.

Yes, if Samsung would now release all the sources (required by the license) we could keep upgrading our devices on our own. The S2 community has done a fabulous job, and we would get some disaffected devs back if we had all the sources. This is still a great phone. I'd hazard to say that there aren't many (any?) other 2 year old phones that still run this well on the "latest" software. I agree it might be still going strong in 4 years. Due to Samsung's intransigence however I think my next has to be Nexus. But it's hard to justify giving this up. Despite a faded screen, and reduced capacity of the battery, it still screams smoothly!
Here's the petition on Samsung's software update policy for those who are tired of it. I request you all to please sign it, so we can raise our voice. After signing, don't forget to SHARE it.

They will but we need nice number of supporters.
From the petition page:
"For example, they told last year that they will start rolling out update for their Galaxy Note 5 and Galaxy S6/edge in December 2015 but it got delayed to Jan 2016 and then to Feb 2016."
Where and when did Samsung make any official commitment around dates for updates?
It simple: they're under absolutely no obligation to provide you with any updates whatsoever. If you don't like the fact that they seem to be slow to update their phones to the latest version of Android, just STOP BUYING THEIR PHONES.
We just need google to collab with sony this will be the end of samsung
Omg.. just buy a different phone and go on with your day. It's just a phone.
Samsung already got sued for their update policy but samsung won the trial

You guys seem to be missing the point. I'm not as annoyed at some about these updates but it is a shame that we are not given these updates in a timely manner and if people who spend there hard earned money on one of if not the most expensive Android smartphone lines on the market are not satisfied, who are we to tell them not to speak up about it. Telling people to just shut up and deal with it or go find something else to me is a joke. After I'm finished here why don't I go and tell my children not to stand up for what they believe in because it's easier.
Thank you those who are supporting.

I rather get a bugfree smooth upgrade than an early buggy one (like we got with 511)
I wouldn't bother. Updates aren't needed to use a phone. If they're not fast enough, go to Nexus or LG or HTC.
The only problem on S6 that needed an update was RAM management, but this is a minor annoyance certainly not a deal breaker.
A petition with "Shamesung" in the title will get no where as it is immature, although a petition will get no where anyway. Samsung sell enough phones, and the majority of their users are more than happy.
