It is after all only 3.5 years old!


So I rather think not everyone will be fine.

Galaxy Ace 2 is now 5 years old (launched Feb 2012).

And even this can't be a genuine reason for being unable to perform such a basic action as, essentially, uploading a photo.

I don't mind singing and dancing accompanying mobile banking - but not at the cost of excessively inflated hardware and software requirements

Barclays have the option of paying in cheques via their app.

There was a pilot but it was restricted to Barclays cheques and there was a limit on the amount of the cheque and the number of cheques per week, or has this now been rolled out to be available to all Barclays customers and any cheques?

Just like we cannot use any banking apps at the moment, as its already too out of date.

As has been said, your model is now 5 years old.

I haven't used your phone but even then I imagine most banking apps would actually work on the hardware as long as you have updated the version of Android on it.

According to Wikipedia, the phone originally came with Android 2.3.6 Gingerbread but Samsung issued an upgrade to Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean.

Generally, all banking apps work with Android 4 and above.

The device also unofficially supports CyanogenMod versions up to 13 (Android 6.0.1) as well as others..

As you say, Barclays were trialing the technology with their own customers/cheques. Its still impossible for Barclays to offer it for cheques of other banks until 30 October 2017 at the earliest

Also, Android 3.0 was not a phone release iirc, it's the Honeycomb release for Tablets.

Phones went from Gingerbread 2.3.6 to Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0/Jellybean 4.1.

As has been mentioned, the Galaxy Ace 2 is on 4.1.2 (since 2013)

Owners of phones with Cyanogen Mod (such as our 2 WileyFox phones) will be glad to learn that version 13 - Android 6.0.1 - will be updated to Nougat by WFox, by June this year. Recently had an email from WFox regarding that.

Do you not have any bank branches near you ? Santander branch outside cash machines take cheque deposits.

Important to point out that it's freepost too so no cost of stamp for sending them off. Normally on the account in a day or so.

Good news about the mobile banking option later this year. The Post Office service never seems convenient as you need the magic combination of the special envelope plus a paying-in slip, which I think most people don't have, and Post Offices don't seem to have them either in my experience.

I didn't know you could pay in cheques at Co-op stores. Is that just for Co-op Bank?
