Galaxy S II gets two software updates, some issues fixed

13 May, 2011
The Galaxy S II got two new updates before we could even order food after completing its own review. Hope we don't need to rewrite much. Anyway, we didn't know the phone had issues that needed fixing in the first...

how we expect you to find out any bug in the samsung mobiles ?
it seems that gsmarena ia big promoter of samsung mobiles,that it cant find a single issues on samsung mobiles... you find relatively more amount of bugs on different mobiles... lets say nokia?

            Samsung is providing quick updates only in higher end phones. But what about lower end phone. I have a samsung chat 322 & it have lot of issues(music player crash,phone restart,low app memory-2mb)& there is no firmware update for this.sansung really need to consider updating cheaper cellphones as soon as possible.

                "It looks like the point where it all ends. A galaxy outgrowing its own limits. An explosion of energy and speed. An overdose of smartphone power"

                Ah yes except for the updates needed to correct the mistakes of premature release

                  After trying this update several times, and failing several times - I believe Samsung have now taken the update down? Well - it's no longer showing up as updatable at work?!

                                  AnonD-8026, 13 May 2011didn't debuted yet and begun with the issues... and samsung... moreDude none of the forums or the experts pointed to those bugs. May be they din seem to be like bug itself. Samsung corrected it by self coz they knw hw efficient the fone cud be as they r the manufacturers.
