ICS for Samsung Galaxy S2

-
ICS... Ice cream sandwich, where are you? The below announcement has been out since Mar 2012...

"Samsung offers Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade for GALAXY S II

We're thrilled to announce that Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich will be available to GALAXY S II users in the European countries including Poland, Hungary and Sweden, as well as Korea today, and gradually roll out to other markets.

ICS for GALAXY Note, GALAXY S II LTE, GALAXY R, GALAXY Tab 7.0 Plus, 7.7, 8.9, 8.9 LTE and 10.1 will follow soon.

In addition, we'll also offer Android 2.3 Gingerbread firmware upgrades for GALAXY S, GALAXY Tab 7", GALAXY S Plus, GALAXY S SCL (Super Clear LCD) and GALAXY W from end March. The firmware upgrades for GALAXY S, for example, include Face Unlock, Snapshot, Photo Editor, and others.

The availability and scheduling of the software update and specific models upgradeable to Android 4.0 will vary by market and wireless carriers' requirements."

When will the official ICS update for Singapore users of the Galaxy S2 be? Many many users are eagerly awaiting the update and expectations had to be updated to Q2 2012 recently.

I, for one, have been checking for the ICS updates through both the phone interface and Samsung Kies rather frequently but have been disappointed repeatedly.

I am not yet desperate enough to try my hands at flashing a custom ROM from XDA and resolve its accompanying issues. Hope that Samsung does push out ICS for the SGS2 in Singapore very very soon.

We share the same sentiments.
I too am checking for a ICS update for my SII frequently, always hoping to see other prompts then "No software updates" or "This is the latest firmware".

Guess our luck here ain't so good here. But no matter what, let's continue to be patient and continue the wait. Good things are worth the wait right ;-)

Cheers!

www.sold.sg, www.gleebid.com, www.simplybids.com.sg, www.crazybid.sg, www.sharkybids.com, etc are some "auction" sites that sprouted recently. At first glance, these auction sites appear to be offering tremendous deals to interested buyers through huge discounts. However, the caveat that when a deal sounds too good to be true be careful holds. To understand how www.sold.sg, www.gleebid.com, www.simplybids.com.sg, www.crazybid.sg, www.sharkybids.com and such works, it is important to understand the mechanics of their operations. I will use sold.sg as an example. Let us take one item that was recently sold on www.sold.sg to illustrate the financial calculations for a good deal purchased. The Canon IXUS 300 was sold at $52.35, a staggering 83% to the retail price of $599. Does this mean sold.sg made a big loss? From where was sold.sg able to source for such cheap products? It is important to note that bidding on items is not free. Each bid requires 1 token which is sold t

WHO Announces End of COVID19 Pandemic

-
Promising COVID19 vaccines! Lower numbers of new infections! COVID19 is now under control! COVID19 cure found! Headlines that we will love to see but reality is far less rosy.  COVID19 is a virus.  A strain of coronavirus not unlike past virus such as SARS in 2003, MERS in 2012. Years have passed and no vaccine, no cure has been found for SARS or MERS. The same is likely to happen for COVID19. The optimistic put hopes on the huge efforts to find a working vaccine but what if  the end state is that the virus is here to stay? The virus is selective. Many infected are just asymptomatic or with mild symptoms, carriers whom go on to keep the spread alive. These are usually the young/healthy ones with no underlying issues. The ones whom really suffer are the older/weaker. At the end, perhaps we need to come to terms that it will remain as commonplace as influenza. People will die if they do not take care of their health. Life expectancies will be lowered as weakened elderly fail to overcome

Singapore Presidential Election 2017

-
Will this election be a reserved one for the "Malay" community? While Dr Tan Cheng Bock's initial case for an "open" election has been dismissed, it is still up for appeal. Should the reserved election proceed, the likely Presidential candidates for 2017 so far are: Mr Salleh Marican (CEO, Second Chance Properties) Mr Farid Khan Kaim Khan (Chairman, Bourbon Offshore Asia Pacific) Mdm Halimah Yacob (Speaker of Parliament) Mr Salleh Marican He is of Indian heritage and lacks fluency in the Malay language. Additionally, calculations by The Straits Times puts Second Chance’s average shareholder equity over the past three years between $254.3 million and $263.25 million, missing the eligibility criteria of at least $500 million in shareholders’ equity, on average, for the most recent three financial years. Mr Farid Khan Kaim Khan The question will likely hinge on whether he is "Malay" enough to contest in the Reserved Presidential Elections
