Not sure about the T-Mo S II, but the ATT update fixed the lockscreen issue, AP Mobile widget data issue, and also changed the scrolling behavior to the "blue glow."

Here's the official announcement,
T-Mobile Support Community: Software update to Android 2.3.6(T989VUVKL1) - Samsung Galaxy S II

I notice it says we will get an OTA update. I did not and I am having trouble updating via PC. Any help?

I got the message this morning and since my phone is rooted I'm glad it wasn't an automatic upgrade. I postponed it until I was able to find how to cancel the update. If anyone wants to prevent the update you have to uninstall (or freeze?) the apk file "Device management 3.0". I used Titanium backup to uninstall it, after making a backup of the file. Now when I choose "software update" in settings, it doesn't open the app, which shows me the uninstall is working and I won't be prompted to update in the future.

When I choose "software update" it says "no firmware". What does that mean? Sorry, I'm new to Android, just switched from Blackberry recently!

 

[afhanson72]

Never mind, I figured it out.

What did you do? I'm getting that message.

Got the ota update this evening and of course my battery was too low for it to start. At 50% it let me start the update and about 4 mins later it was finished. A Lil red box with a talk bubble alerted me to the fact that I now need to have my sim card updated to use wifi calling. I guess I'll wait for the morning.

I used the Kies software and downloaded it to my phone manually. I still haven't received the ota update.

Sim card replaced and make sure that T-Mobile updates your 911 address. It seemed to create some sort of network error. Tell them you need a SIM with the #TM9177.

Works perfect now

So what are the battery and caller-id enhancements also mentioned in the link?

I'm not sure how to truly gauge the battery but I'm pretty sure that I got a significant battery increase. I have yet to figure out what caller id issues were adjusted.

Is this update safe for a rooted phone?

 

[Raven71]

Update worked fine i'm able to use My phone to talk and send calls over wifi

Anyone have an issue with the lockscreen after the update? Now there is this annoying banner that tells me to swipe to unlock and I can't figure out how to get rid of it or turn it off.

 

[afhanson72]

I had that at first but then it went away on it's own.

I now cannot send or receive pictures since this update. Anyone know why?

I am still waiting for mine to be sent to me. Hubby and friend got theirs a few days ago and I really want to do mine. :'(

I do not see any caller id enhancements. They still want to charge for unknown caller id which is bull crap. At least ATT had the feature for free. Then again I don't know if it was for all plans.
