Those who might been expecting for the Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean update for AT&T's Galaxy S2, no JB for now folks. But instead you'll receive a small OTA update - Android 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich. According to AT&T that the new OTA update with build number 'I777UCLL6' targets to add a "Security Enhancement" for the Galaxy S2's previous 4.0.4 December released - "I777UCLK3". Some issues might not have been resolved for the AT&T Galaxy S2's such us the well-known SOD "Sleep of Death", causing the device onto a deep sleep state. The "Security Enhancement" update is not new to me, maybe some of you also heard about it from international Samsung Galaxy S2 and the Galaxy S3 but it was included in 4.1.2 Jelly Bean, not on 4.0.4 ICS. Does this mean that this is a preparation for the 4.1.2 Jelly Bean that might follow soon, or just an important update to fix SOD issues?
