Also, the Swype feature on the phone has got more responsiveness to itself post the update. In addition to the two fixes, Samsung has also looked through some issues with connectivity, which has been fixed, too. The firmware updates that have reached the Samsung Galaxy S II have now updated the firmware to i9100XWKE2.

In order to be able to download the updates, users will have to hook their phones to Samsung’s Kies App. As of now, the updates are only visible on the Kies App, since the built-in tool is unable to trace the updates.
