I imagine it will be through the software update in the phone. You will need to be connected to WIFI though, it will take a while to download. By the look of things we should have Jelly Bean on our Ace 2 by the end of March.Will the Jelly Bean update be available from the software update within the phone, or will it show in the notifications to allow or deny?

I suppose It's just a matter of personal preference. If you're happy with the Gingerbread OS then stick with that. Personally I will update mine to jellybean, I'm looking forward to the new notification bar, It can now expand, to show you a portion of your inbox, rather than just the number of texts or emails waiting for you.Will there be a need to download Jelly Bean? will it make much difference?
I've found Gingerbread to be not too bad, never sluggish or anything, but I imagine there will be some improvements.
What worries me is if there is a corrupted download, will this or could this cause a corruption to the existing operating System being Gingerbread?

If you are worried about the jellybean update, turn off the automatic update notification. Then you will not receive any messages telling you to upgrade. If you decide you would like to update the software on your phone in the future, go to, Settings, About phone, then tap on Software update. Like I said in the previous post, no one is making you update your phone, it is entirely up to you. Maybe wait until jelly bean has rolled out on the Ace 2 and read some of the reviews. I can almost guarantee they will be positive. Why would you not want the latest OS anyway?I have software update ticked for automatic update notification, does this mean I have the option to ignore, and if I chose to ignore will I have the option show again by clicking on check for software updates?

I don't know if this is any use, it's just a guess, but is your google search app updated to the latest version? Mine is and I don't have the blue icon.
Mine doesn't have the Blue icon either?It's not that I don't want it, but I'm always tentative about updates. I take it the phones hardware will cope with all the latest functions as per that site you kindly gave me, but yeah I think I will read user reviews when they become available first, just so that I will be aware of any such issues that arise after updating to Jelly Bean.
On a much lesser note, on your home screen first page, does your google search widget, the long bar one underneath the weather, does it have the blue google to the left of it? like shown on this image here?

Or is it like mine that looks like this?

Just curious why some images of this phone have the blue and some don't.
Well folks, it looks like us Ace 2 owners will not be getting the Jelly Bean upgrade until the end of April at the earliest.. I think we'll be very lucky if we even get it here in the UK!
