This may have been covered before but after a few hours of surfing google I have still not come to a concrete answer to my problem. I have had an HTC Hero, Samsung Nexus S and a few other smart phones I've played with yet my new Samsung Galaxy S II seems to be missing something and I'm confused. Why is there no "Check Update" from the about phone menu on it? My other Phones had it which was great when I had no internet and no PC I could still update my phone over the network. All I've come across so far is something about Kies and Odin but I don't want to root my phone as I have not seen what the benefits would do since an unrooted phone can play free games and still be able to load custom roms, in any case I was wondering if I made a mistake getting rid of my Nexus S phone for Galaxy S II since I feel like an idiot as I can't even figure out how to update my phone to the latest offcial firmware.
Just read on a few other providers with the same phone such as vodaphone they have instructions on how to update by doing the following. "Get your phone to check for the update: Menu > Settings > About Phone > Software Update > Check for Update" I am with Bell and all I see under about phone is Status, Battery Usage, Legal Information, System Tutorial, Model Number, Android version, Baseband version, Kernel version, Build number. That's it
mine is the GT-I9100M with android 2.3.3 with a baseband version I9100MUGKG2 with a kernel version of 2.6.35.7-I9100MUGKG2-CL371789dh130.yoo@SEP-48 #2 and finally a build of GINGERBREAD.UGKG2. Sorry about all the babble just thought the more info I had the easier it might make it to get some help
