Galaxy S2 Jelly Bean update release reaches India
The Samsung Galaxy S2 was largely responsible for getting the manufacturer on its way to the dominance it now enjoys on the Android platform and beyond, and the company hasn’t forgotten about its once flagship device as the Galaxy S2 Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update has now reached users in India.
Samsung first started to push out the new firmware a couple of months ago and it has since been spreading around the globe and more recently touched down in the US on Sprint. Now though users in India are being treated to the nice new software on a handset that is still a worthy option for users on a tighter budget.
The update has been arriving via an over the air update but if you have yet to receive any prompt for its arrival you can either check for it manually on the handset, which is achieved via the settings and selecting the about device option, or by connecting the device to a PC and the Samsung KIES application.
If the update is ready for your example for the Galaxy S2 you will need to make sure you have plenty of battery life, and the new firmware will bring a number of neat new options to the device. This includes Google Now, quicker and more stable performance thanks to Project Butter, Direct Call, Nature UX that was first seen on the Galaxy S3, and much more.
This shouldn’t be the last Android update the device will see as it is expected to eventually see Jelly Bean 4.2.2 at some point in the future. Consumers in the country now have access to the newer version of the handset simply called the Galaxy S2 Plus, which is basically the same handset but with some slightly bumped specs.
Has your Galaxy S2 got the Jelly Bean update yet and how did it go?

Hey all.. Samsung S2 Jelly Bean Update has big time screwed Battery backup yaar !!! Guys pls do something man plzzzzz fix it … ICS 4.0.4 had nice battery Backup 🙁 🙁
Same here. Screwed battery back up. Getting no solutions out anywhere.
Hello !
I did my update OTA. Didnt feel like an enhanced stuff after the update. Moreover, my battery back up got screwed up when compared to my ICS and also could see a notable lag in loading many apps.
The no edit possible large sized notification area is yet another stain. Don’t know whether I missed out something in between as I did it OTA.
Please tell me whether any incompatibility occurs when i do it OTA. Should i approach the service centre guys and get a hard reset done by them ?
Please help.
Hey mate…..can you please tell me how did you got the update via OTA because my phone does not show me any updates whenever I try to search via software update…..did you followed any steps for getting the OTA
Hey guys those who are experiencing a battery drain and a performance lag in the new Jelly Bean update of galaxy S2
i have a word for you to fix this problem.
now what you have to do is. backup all the essential data ie. contacts, messages, call logs, etc but do not backup your mail accounts.
now locate settings>backup and reset>factory data reset and hit reset your device.
when its done login your device with a gmail account but do not set up the email app in your s2 as it is the only bug which is actually causing this battery drain.
now its fixed.
try it
