It appears
that the Android 4.1 update has been postponed by Vodafone Australia due to a
snafu in connection to emergency calling.
Since the
Jelly Bean Android 4.1 OS is not compliant with the emergency phone call
standards of Australia, the release of the Android 4.1 update has been
postponed by the Australian mobile service provider. This first Android 4.1
update for Android-powered devices was set to be released Samsung Nexus S.
A blog post by
the Vodafone Australia revealed that the update for the latest version of the
Android OS will be postponed although it cannot offer any other details in
connection to the delay. The mobile service provider also indicated that if
there are any changes in the Android 4.1 update, it will inform its customers
through the blog.
The release
of software updates for smartphones are often delayed and is not limited to the
Android OS. Evaluations made by mobile service providers as well the process of
approval are normally the reason for such delays. The approval process is
normally quite thorough even if it only involves software updates.
The issue on
emergency calls, which has affected the release of the Android 4.1 update, is
normally affected by software updates.
The Samsung
Nexus S was supposed to be the first device to receive the Android 4.1 update
prior to announcement of the delay although Vodafone Australia customers are
asked to check the blog from time-to-time for any changes on the release
schedule of the software update.
