Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket and all SII series should have at least Android OS v4.2.2 Or v4.3

Hi @redhot4400

I can confirm that the last update available for the Samsung Galaxy SII Skyrocket is indeed v4.1.2. Whilst we would love to be able to keep all of our devices up to date with the most recent software, in many cases it is not possible due to many different reasons. The main reason a manufacturer may not update an older device could be that it would perform slowly on the older hardware. If you would like to see if you are eligible to upgrade to a newer model which will be updated to more recent versions of Android, you can check your eligibility via myAT&T online by choosing Manage my Plan & Services > Check Upgrade Eligibility from the I want to… menu.

Thanks!

Thanks for your reply. but sorry to say that the answer was not correct at all. the answer was commercial answer like bypassing the real matter.

yes man different kind of chipset was used in many different version of Samsung Galaxy SII series. but there are lots of custom ROM like Kitkat  which is smoothly running on SII series without much bugs.

The major matter is that AT&T is the slowest company in this world which is always extreme slow about their device update and Samsung also joined with them in this matter.

All Samsung Galaxy SII series is easily capable of running the Android OS up to 4.3 easily. The major problem in Android OS is Lollipop for SII series.

Thanks in Advance

That phone will run jelly bean and kitkat just fine.  I have lollipop on a galaxy nexus which uses a ti processor.  And it runs smooth as silk.

The problem here is the 18-24 month android update schedule.  Google will support devices for 18-24 months.  Samsung is doing this also.  The reason the skyrocket got less support is the adoption of the s2 was horrible as Verizon did not pick it up.  The S3 is what made samsung where they are today.

By the way if he roots and roms a phone that is years out of warranty whats it matter.

correct the phone is out of the update window...
