Samsung Galaxy S2 2.3.6 update

Hi all,

Just wondered if VM use generic, unlocked handsets on their contracts? I see that Samsung have released an update for the phone but that it might take a while to get through to networked locked handsets.

What are VM like with software updates if these handsets are network locked?

Re: Samsung Galaxy S2 2.3.6 update

Some phones come unlocked and some don't. I am sure my GS2 is unlocked as I just did an update search and it asked me to download install one.

However my step daughter just got a BB Torch on VM and its branded with VM stuff on start up.

That's interesting. Do you know what version that has put your G2 at? Mine is Android Version 2.3.4 although I believe the new version 2.3.6.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S2 2.3.6 update

Its installing just now, so will let you know as soon as it reboots

I was on 2.3.3 before I think.

Ok so phone has just finished updating and its only updated me to 2.3.4, but straight away there are a couple of little changes I have noticed. No option available to update to 2.3.6 though

Hmmm that's a shame. Here is the link I was reading anyway. Looks like it might be a decent update to get:

Re: Samsung Galaxy S2 2.3.6 update

A lot of carriers brand their firmware updates. Partner's Xperia Arc on VM tends to require a little wait after Sony rollout a new firmware before she gets it.

Re: Samsung Galaxy S2 2.3.6 update

I got an official response on the community forum regarding it. They say that it will need to go through their internal testing etc etc but they can't tell us when it will be released.

Not really an official response as such, more the same sort of thing most mobile companies give you, but I guess it confirms it won't be released with the unlocked devices.
