Samsung Galaxy SII (ICS)
 

Owners of Samsung Galaxy SII running Android 4 (Ice Cream Sandwich), do you root your phones?

No here, keeping it factory for now

Nope....

Ics sucks i went back to gingerbread... ics has a horrible push gmail bug on custom domains.. i wrote about it on androidforums

i'll wait for the Galaxy SIII - it was launched today. looks sweet

Personally to me it works faster than Gingerbread. Actually it was the only reason I did upgrade.

Everything new is cool, but I need to make/receive calls today but not only tomorrow :)

but you can perfectly call people with the S2 running Android 2.3 :winkwink:

Yes I know what you mean :) Actually my smartphone is not just a phone. It's my real personal computer which does a lot of other tasks. If I will wait for a new version, I never buy it, because there always will be something newer.

P.S. You know, I'm not just a regular user. I'm a coder.

I was thinking about rooting my android ( it is a desire hd) and upgrading to ice cream sandwidth.. but having a hard time find programs on the mac to upgrade it

Launched today... That's something new. I'll wait, also.

specs looks damn good, wireless charging, eye movement recognition, NFC with Wifi Direct and more. Apple will have to come with something real good to gain their leading position

nope.....

rooting is such a pain in the ass, keep reading about people with issues running rooted roms. Plus i'm using the T-Mobile USA version of the GSII which has a different radio and processor

i'm not even sure I want to upgrade my GSII to Ice Cream Sandwich, my upgrade from 2.1 to 2.2 on my other phone got me tons of bugs that were never addressed by T-Mobile or Samsung

mine just updated automatically
honestly i liked it more before update

Who cares about the S2 after today. I was about to upgrade a few weeks back and am very glad that I held off.

That said I will have mine on day one and it will be rooted as soon as possible. Fuck the carrier branded OS bullshit that comes loaded on it.

Can't agree on that. I always root all my android devices and have no problems with them. The only un-rooted one is SGSII because its running IGS. However, its also was rooted when the OS wasn't upgraded yet.

I see. This could be an issue.

I do :)

Actually I'm still not sure if I need a mobile phone with a quad-core CPU. My working desktop PC has only 2 cores :)

No idea what rooting is. I'm new to Android. But I never jailbroke my iphone either.

Fuck!!!!

Edit: man that thing is fugly. I'll stick with my s2.

yeah i agree much smoother and faster.

and in answer to op, i didn't root it, i waited for my network to supply ics.

This made me chuckle - Read it as someone with limited tech knowledge, your nan or elderly aunt....

Haven't tried to root it but installed Nova Launcher after upgrading to ICS and so far I'm satisfied with it.

S3 looks great
