    I have been running ICS on my GS2 for about 2 weeks now and so far I can't fault it.

    Vodafone have not released it here yet so I just installed the unbranded one for Poland and it's fine. all the vodafone stuff downloaded as soon as I set the phone up and it had English so I was happy.

    Re: ICS for Samsung Galaxy 2 today?

    I can probably wait another 6 months for it to be more stable, I've tried 3 different ICS roms and they were all unstable, prone to crashes and ate battery like a battery eating.. thing.
    Pretty bad experience so far, and they were supposedly final roms already released around the world.

    Got it on my sim free Sensation now, love it, the GPU acceleration makes a huge difference, as responsive as a iPhone now if not better.

    You need to get yourself onto Sam Mobile any firmware on there released in or after March 2012 is a real official update.

    Vodafone had not released it here yet so I installed the rom intended for Poland and it works flawlessly.

    Not one single crash and the battery life seems considerably better than it ever was on Gingerbread.

    The phone also seems quicker and more responsive.

    Also if you do install ICS and are having the issues you describe you should do a factory reset on your phone as this is considered a major update and a factory reset should solve all you issues.

    Sorry but if you have not done a FR and you are complaining of crashes then it's more fool you.

    Been on the O2 ICS for a while now and seems very stable and responsive.

    Only thing is that I find the battery life noticeably worse than when I was on GB; anyone else notice the same?

    Re: ICS for Samsung Galaxy 2 today?

    Guy when I go to update under > settings > it tells me 'connection failed' when trying to connect to to server.

    My phone was locked to T-Mobile initially but I had it unlocked as I got a SIM on different network. Any ideas ?

    Re: ICS for Samsung Galaxy 2 today?

    Try connecting the phone to a PC via USB and Kies, thats the way I had to do it (phone is with 3).

    Also noticing a lack of battery, but going to have a fiddle and see what happens. One difference with my install is that it was rooted and had an advert killer installed.

    The way I've used my phone has been similar before and after ICS, used to get 2.5-3 days now generally ~2 days. Definitely appreciating my extended battery now.

    i got this ready for ICS http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B...00_i00_details

    tbh it adds about 2mm to the case, flush with the bottom so it does not look out of place

    I actually did FR each time I tried a different rom, and doing this on a phone I actually needed to use was pretty painful.

    So again, I'll wait.
