well put on a happy face because Sprint has finally announced plans to update the device with Android 4.1 Jelly Bean software. After weeks of waiting for the confirmation, users will be happy to see that Sprint is going to update the device even though, the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy S4 are on the market. The update will bring the software from Android 4.0 to Android 4.1 and it will bring a host of features.
The update that started to hit the device today is the first time the Jelly Bean software has appeared in the United States for the Galaxy S2. Once all of the Sprint customers are updated, it will only be a matter of time before those of you on the AT&T, T-Mobile, US Cellular and Verizon Wireless network are also updated to Jelly Bean as well. One the Sprint network, the Galaxy S2 is referred to as the Epic 4G Touch and Sprint did also mention that the update will roll out in phases so it might be a couple weeks before you see the notification.
The reason that mobile carriers roll out new software in phases is to make sure it goes without any glitches, bugs or other errors that Sprint could potentially fix before it gets too far. Sprint did not say exactly what is coming with the update, but most of us know that Google Now, an improved Browser, better user interface, better widgets and multi-tasking support is all included. Mobile carriers tend to take this time to add some features, enhancements or just fix bugs, but Sprint has not confirmed any of those things with this update.
If you would like to upgrade your device, you will have to install the Samsung Kies software because the file size is quite large. Samsung Kies will do all the work and allows for users to install the update manually through their PC. As soon as this update hits the Galaxy S2 on the Sprint network, it is expected that subscribers on all of the other four networks in the United States will be notified as to when they can get the update. As long as you are not on the Verizon Wireless network, you should not have to wait too long.
