Heads up for those of you using the Samsung Galaxy S11 with Android 3.2 Honeycomb op system.
I had been playing/toying with the idea of using an aftermarket 'upgrade' to the Android 4.3 Ice Cream Sandwich op/sys as all available info indicated that it would be sometime in the far future before Samsung offered an OEM upgrade for same.
On Saturday afternoon my S-G S11 announced that it wanted to undertake an unidentified software upgrade and as I have it set to automatically do this for APPS etc I just authorised it to do so and forgot about it.
On Sunday I went to use the subject mobile and it had switched itself off which it sometimes does when upgrading software. I rebooted it and logged it on - Weeeeeeeeeeell! Trendsetters, the ensuing results were quite startling. It had automatically upgraded itself from the Honeycomb system to the latest version of Ice Cream Sandwich which Samsung had just released for same. This particular Ver & Build being for the Galaxy S11 only
The only way to describe the difference/s is to imagine going from Win XP to Win 7 bi passing Vista) Visually different, Very easy to use , faster and a number of menu/setting/s differences. Very Nice.
So if you haven't already received this software upgrade, have a look for it and/or switch on the auto upgrade facility on the phone.
Mine has a Telstra Next/3G sim which I use with patch lead and external aerial. I will be using testing same in remote areas at the beginning of June12 and will post how the new Op system performs. Will also be using the internal GPS and will advise how that went as
well
