shadow 119 Report post Posted December 10, 2011 most of us start cursing companies about the late android updates, we feel that gingerbread has been out for almost an year now and we still didnt get it, but its easy for companies with limited models like apple, because if they want to do an software update they have to do it only for a max of 5 devices(2g,3g,3gs,4,4s), but what about companies like Samsung, Sony Ericsson ?? Samsung releases many devices per year globally, and many more regional and carrier specific, so they have to deal with diff types of chipsets, processors,bluetooth versions etc etc etc, and get them tested , verified and certified before they roll out to the end customers there is an interesting article on sony ericsson website about the steps involved for updating an android os source : http://developer.sonyericsson.com/wp/2011/12/07/ice-cream-sandwich-from-source-code-release-to-software-upgrade/ 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shadow 119 Report post Posted December 11, 2011 @ghosh ji, i aint denying that we have put our hard earned money, and we the customer is the king, i only tried to focus on a reason we get late updates, if u read the article completely it says that the certification process is what makes the delay, because they have to apple for global certificate and regional certificates and other health and technical standard certifications after each update, there are some companies which delay the updates because they dont want to, like LG for example, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
