Galaxy mini 2 Jelly Bean updates are almost ready :)

Hello guys!!
I have good informations for galaxy mini 2 owner's.
Sammobile wrote in his official twitter: "Galaxy mini 2 Jelly Bean updates are almost ready "
sorry for my english ;3

I also saw that post, but it's most unlikely that Samsung will release Jelly Bean for our phone that soon. I also hope for the best, but it just seems too early for that, as even Ace 2 and Ace Plus haven't received it yet. And SamMobile doesn't tell where did they get that information.

here it is!!! Our wait is quite short now!!!

Look, don't get me wrong. I also await this update, and really can't wait anymore - Mini 2 is capable of running Jelly Bean just fine (with some optimizations, of course). And I would be optimistic about all that, but we must face the following facts:
- It suddenly came out of nowhere, without any previous info, other than its original announcement way back in the September update list.
- From that update list only S3, S2 and Tab 2 received the update so far (20% of S2 devices still wait for it). 6 months have passed.
- Stronger phones like Ace 2, S Advance and Beam didn't receive the update, so it's unlikely that weaker phone like Mini 2 would receive it first.
SamMobile refuses to tell where that info came from. Jelly Bean will come to our phone, but this soon? It won't happen. Yes, our wait is quite short now - if you consider the end of summer as quite short.

Well we just have to wait and see

Well,I think that your phone may be able to fly

Bad news,It is in spanish, it says that Samsung won't update galaxy mini 2 to 4.1 because of the bad performance.

Samsung Spain always said that they won't release the update. But it's possible in other countries...

We all know a Motorola device received KitKat even before Nexus users, here we see a purported Sony Xperia running Android 4.4.2, which is newer than even found on the Nexus 5 .
Is this the reason we bought Nexus? How unfaithful Google could be.

Most probably it's fake. Esp. the lighter 2 in the end of 4.4.2.

Fake.

Obvious fake.

If you look closer that picture than you see that the font of the number 2 is not the same whit the rest so FAKE.
P.S. i saw some galaxy S3 clones and it said 4.2.2 but it was definitely gingerbread

Yeah, it looks fake.

This elitist attitude by some Nexus users is annoying. I thought that was supposed to die out with the Samsung fanboys when Google stopped updating for the Galaxy Nexus.
You're already getting good value for the price you pay. Why are you whining that Google is releasing (or helping to release) version updates faster for other devices, isn't that a good thing for the Android ecosystem. Is it necesary to have the latest version only for yourself to validate your self-worth and feel superior to others because you have a device with a unique brand name?
Can mods lock this thread please?
Also, now you know to not read news from GSMArena.

What does this have to do with last year's Nexus?
Even if it's not fake, it's unreleased and it's an incremental update. Who cares?

Samsung hints that a Lollipop upgrade for the Galaxy Note 4 is coming soon

Motorola, HTC and Sony have already mentioned plans to upgrade some devices to Android 5.0 Lollipop, but Samsung, which doesn’t have a great track record when it comes to providing timely Android updates to its devices, has yet to say anything on the matter. However, in a new post on Twitter promoting the Galaxy Note 4 phablet, the company seems to be hinting at a future Lollipop update for the device.
“Anyway you look at it, the #GALAXYNote4 Quad HD Super AMOLED display is pretty sweet,” Samsung wrote, posting an image of the phablet with lollipops displayed on the screen (image above).
The Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy S5, Samsung’s 2014 flagship handsets, are likely to be the first ones to receive the Lollipop update, although Samsung is yet to make anything official.
Online publication SamMobile points out that the Galaxy Note 4 Lollipop update may arrive in late November or early December, which would indeed be pretty quick, considering that Nexus devices will be updated to Android 5.0 in November.

As i just got my Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (Black) today, let me be the first to say.....
:highfive:

Considering that root may not be possible with Lollipop, I am not sure I want to upgrade.

Lollipop is rootable on the N5 at the moment.

If your bootloader is unlocked you should be fine. If your on Verizon.... Well someone better put a big bounty out.

You're forgetting something, you do have access to init.d when coming from 4.x.x to 5.0. A phone that came straight out the box with Lollipop might have that root problem but if you keep installing customs roms, there is no reason you'll ever lose root. The problem with Lollipop is the init.d script that runs on boot on 4.x and less doesn't run on boot on 5.0 so root is never accessed. On lollipop, you can root but it will most probably be a pre-boot root, such as with the kernel. And anyways, i remember when chainfaire said that Jelly Bean and Kit Kat will be hard to provide root for, but it didn't prevent him from finding a way around before we were able to get our hands on any custom JB or KK rom.

Android M for Galaxy Note 4 and Galaxy S5, Rumor Roundup
Android M is the upcoming major update for the device running on Android operating system. Currently Galaxy S5 and Note 4 are receiving Android 5.1.1 in some regions. Google is going to release Android M under version 5.2 in September. Previously Samsung had taken much time than expected to rollout the Android 5.0 Lollipop update to Galaxy S5 and Note 4 devices. But this time the South Korean giant may rollout the Android M update for Galaxy S5 and Note 4 devices in time as it is not a big update like Android Lollipop. So Samsung may begin the rollout of Android 5.2 to Galaxy S5 by the end of this year. Note 4 users may also receive the Android M update by the end of this month.
Galaxy S5 Retail and unlocked editions will receive the Android M update earlier than carrier locked editions and the same applies to Galaxy Note 4 also. Full details about the rollout dates will be revealed in coming months.
Android M brings special app permissions that give more control over device and apps. New Doze mode saves more battery and increases the standby time of device. It already has proved in Google Nexus devices and it is working much better than Lollipop battery saver. Google released the previews of Android M for developers and bug reporting. Till two minor bugs have been reported and there are no major bugs. So it seems that Android M will be the bugfree version of Android Lollipop. User interface also simplified in Android 5.2. Samsung may also minimize Touchwiz to improve performance and user experience. More details and full changelog will be revealed at the time of rollout of Android M to Galaxy S5 and Note 4.

Android 12 is probably coming to Moto Edge 2020

Hi everyone, like you I have a Moto Edge 2020 (The one with the SD765G 6GB/128GB), I know most of you were upset after the official motorola A12 update list and not seeing our phone in that list.
While I read most of the forums, I found that in an official Lenovo forum, a developer said that there are no plans on releasing Android 12 on Moto Edge 2020
As of today (February 1st 2022), I sent a mail to Motorola España/Latinoamérica to get further information about the update rollout of Android 12, and to know if the Motorola Edge will be receiving that update.
They answered pretty quickly and said:

}
Which translated to english states:
Given the technical information at our disposal, your Motorola Edge "at the moment will stay on Android 11. It's programmed to receive security updates. It's planned to update the device to Android 12, but there is not exact date for that yet"
So it may seem that they WILL be updating the Moto Edge to Android 12, but not yet. I personally don't fall for that, but at least is some kind of hope.
One of the main reasons I want A12 is because of how buggy A11 is.
Have you tried using the Edge Triggers on moto gametime? After using them, the edge screen sensibility goes up to the clouds and the only way to fix that is to reboot the phone. There is plenty of bugs and things to fix on A11 that I think the best they can do is to release A12 as the final update and with future bugfixes make that the definitive (or at least trying to) version for Motorola Edge.
Let me know your thoughts this is my first XDA post ever, I hope you find it useful

nice news, sad how they butchered the edge display with android 11, i really like moto edge, but i got green tint, and was too lazy to send it back XD
