nomiss7: Ambrose_1: Don't know mate, I just plugged it in and it told me there was a update. I can assure you I've used no other program to update. Maybe it depends on where the phone originally come from as to whether the firmware has been released for that region? That's exactly the case. The particular release of phone you have needs to be in Samsungs list for deployment. There's no tidy way around it really, the best bet is to use Odin to flash the firmware from samfirmware.com. "You are" = "You're" - Not "Your". "They are" = "They're" - Not "Their" or "There". You probably mean "lose" not "loose". There's no such word as "Alot". On the internet, wasting time, since '89.

psychrn: Well im committed to the Galaxy s2 now as my Iphone 4 was sold today and picked up tonight. Ive had it 5 days and am really wrapped with it. I used the Navigation function on it today and was really impressed with its fast response, recalculation and accuracy in use. I bought one of the universal remotes from Digital Mobile for $30 and it is very sturdy and does the job well. I had a USB car plug and was able to connect the supplied USB cable and my phone is on the charge. Hard to believe after 3 years of Iphone use have I made the switch and been converted to android I can't believe you have ditched Apple after all this time psychrn. Welcome to "greener" pastures

I'm happy with a stock SG2. Do you really need it? Support a locally made Linux based Operating System, try Linux Lite. Download Linux Lite

Yup. I want to remove certain Samsung installed apps (including the hubs) and I want to update the firmware. I'm using apps to customise but I want to customise it even more. Zeb A. Personal site: http://www.geekchixxx.com Twitter: @asgard

If it's a sensitive issue, no offence taken. Ta, R2D2 Galaxy S has gone to its new owner. HTC Sensation running Jelly Bean 4.1.1, alpha AOSP ROM, on Telecom XT.
