http://androidcommunity.com/samsung-posts-ics-updates-for-tons-of-canadian-devices-20120430/
Samsung Canada has finished porting Ice Cream Sandwich to a whole bunch of devices, which in Samsung press release parlance means they are "eligible" for an upgrade. Does that mean you can hit that "update" button today and start downloading ICS? Well, that's complicated.
First though, the list of devices:
GALAXY S II
GALAXY S II LTE
GALAXY S II LTE HD
GALAXY S II X
GALAXY Note
GALAXY Tab 7.0
GALAXY Tab 7.0 Plus
GALAXY Tab 8.9
GALAXY Tab 10.1
Now, for the caveats: Sammy says "The upgrade will be available today on select devices in Canada and will continue rolling out to devices and carriers throughout the quarter." and "The availability of the software upgrade and specific models upgradable to Android 4.0 will vary by market and wireless carriers' requirements. For carrier specific details, please visit your nearest carrier retailer." So basically Samsung is saying "We are done, it's up to your carrier." So after the carriers get done testing, poking, and installing bloatware, you'll get your upgrade.
This should be good news for the aforementioned Galaxy owners in other regions too. The software for different regions is about 90% compatible, so your Ice Cream Sandwich updates should be well on their way, too.
The press release isn't exactly clear on exactly who, in Canada, gets Ice Cream Sandwich today and who has to wait. So a question to all our Canadian commenters: What Galaxy device do you have, what carrier are you on, and happens when you mash that update button? Good luck!
Interesting. Well I'm not on any carrier, mine is unlocked... But I am in the UK. You'd think these things would be simultaneous huh?

Makes me wonder when will they deploy the updates for the Wi-Fi only units. It must be real soon.

It looks to me like the P7300, P7310 and LTE versions are all available from retailers in Canada. Who knows which one will come first or if they will come all at the same time.
When does this translate into a working camera on the cm9 and galaxian soup ROMs? Lol

Hah, clearly I didn't. Doh! I would say that there's still the regional differences causing delays.

If it's anything like the SGS2 the SIM free version came out a month after the carrier versions.
thx4de heads up!
this was for SGS2 in usa (central)att, rooted but cwm not working
it d/l'ed the update last nite 5/1 & this morning when i checked, it prompted for a reboot, followed by blue colored font saying updating....
then i went for coffee.. & when i checked the 'about' nfo, it still showed android 2.3.4 gingerbread. & was prompted to wait for 7hrs till i can check it again.
dunno update failed? process 1 of multiple? dunno
Any1else w/ the same problem/status?
for 8.9 still nothing yet.. 3.2 honeycomb
Any news? Did anyone get update for any device off that list?

International Galaxy S 2 devices updated ages ago. International Galaxy Note updating from today.
Yes i would say the update should be in a few weeks. If anything the Note is the most complicated to update due to its unique software, but its also very popular hence the urgency of the update.

I more than once quoted a link from them (Samsung) saying they would focus on their two flagship devices first (GSII and Note) and then the tablets. It makes sense they delayed the updates because the Galaxy Tab 2 will be released next week in the US. You know, they don't want an update stealing thunder from their recently (or about to as of now) released tablet. I think we will see news about new ICS firmwares next month.

I'm planning on buying either Galaxy S or Nexus S, the only thing that's stopping me from buying Galaxy S is that I dont know if android 2.3 is availible on Galaxy S or not, please tell me if it's possible to have android 2.3 on Galaxy S. Also I want to know if any of you are having problems with the phone and how it is, post your feedback of the phone here.
Well you can start reading some of the treads and you will get all answers you want.

Kiyori could be please specify your source.........the upgrade still seems a little hazy.
Further, I read that the galaxy s has been discontinued in india..............so why is this confusion still existing in your mind. You might not find the phone in the market.
And to your bad luck, neither is the Nexus S seeming to launch in India immediately. Google isn't a company which keeps india in its priority list...........so we could not see the nexus S launch in next 4-6 months for sure. Maybe we might see the romoured Galaxy S2 before that if samsung goes in for one more 100+ countries simultaneously launch as it did for the Galaxy S. ;-)

I enquired from the sales department of samsung, I dont know how much of this is true, but they said that there is a shortage of Super Amoled screens so they had to stop supply of Galaxy S in India, it should be back by january end, and apparently the Nexus S is to be launched by feburary mid.
So I heard rumors that Samsung is not continuing production of the Captivate and will be phasing it out. Is it true??????? This would mean no Gingerbread for us. Anyone have any more info on this?
We most likely will not get Gingerbread anyway. Samsung only committed to one major release (that being froyo). There are leaks of it available on the i9000 but I would be very surprised if those ever shake down the tree to the Captivate. Especially with the Galaxy S 2 coming out in the coming weeks.
I'm a bit more optimistic about it. Perhaps we won't get an official 2.3 for the Captivate (from what I remember, Samsung doesn't build a firmware for a carrier branded device until the carrier asks for it, so you would have ATT to blame for that one), but I'm confident that the i9000 will get an official "Gingerbread". If they release an official 2.3 or 2.4 for the i9000, the source will follow soon after, and we can build a Captivate version from that.
if a cell phone is in your hand, it has been phased out already, in some regard.

Exactly. We will certainly get Gingerbread eventually, because the i9000 will get it. And what the i9000 gets, we get.
Also, while not entirely stable, CM7 is working on the Captivate, and that's gingerbread.
i doubt it going to be phased out that quick. Keep note, the phone is still less than a year old and a powerhouse in terms of performance.
Tegra 2 GPU performance is still just about on par with the GPU in the Galaxy S phones. Only thing is that it has dual-core for faster regular computing.
There are already leaked builds of the Galaxy S gingerbread.
And yes, CM7 has a fairly stable build of gingerbread AOSP for the Captivate. Im running it currently and its pretty darn good. Keep in mind its AOSP and built from the group up pretty much by the ppl over at Cyanogen and doesn't have a single trace of Touchwiz which is awesome.

Nice. Rig.
Well it makes sense... Why would they keep making new Captivates/Vibrants/Fascinates/Epic 4Gs/Nexus S' when they're just about to release their Galaxy S 2 phones which are MUCH better? They have tons of stock already out there, so I bet they've already stopped production on these phones awhile ago.
Also, they mentioned about a week ago or so that all Galaxy S phones will be getting Gingerbread... The update problem wasn't because of Samsung, it was the carriers holding them back, everyone else in the world got their Froyo update months ago, the US was the last to get it.

I recall reading somewhere that Samsung is planning on doing the same with the Galaxy S 2 as they did with the current Galaxy S phones, have them on all carriers with slight hardware differences and different names. So if that's the case, you'll have a version of the Galaxy S 2 available on AT&T... Trying to dig up the article where I read that, will update this post when I do.
That's makes sense that they'll do that. But on samsungs website it shows that the infuse is coming to att which I believe only has a single core processor the hummingbird. So that will be a little bit of a bummer.

Do you have a link to this? It would be an interesting read...
Tmo stopped selling the Vibrant as soon as the 4g came out, so I bet the cappy will be done for when the infuse is out.
Since it took almost 9 mos to get the Froyo update - I would suspect we will never see a Gingerbread update for our phones.

Hello guys...
I'm new to this forum and new to Galaxy Tab. 8.9 and new to Android system.
The tab is at home and I didn’t even unpack it.
I'm kind of a person that likes to explore and change setting and stuff.
The first thing in my mind now is to boot the tab and update Android version, as I think it comes with 3.0 version and I guess there was an update came on after that.
But from your experience as 8.9 owners and once you were new to it.
What things should I do to it? update what? Disable what? Charging maybe? Tweak sensitivity? [if there is a feature like that!].
What not to change? not to delete? not to disable?
Any tip will be appreciated and it will definitely be new to me as a person never had an Android device and leaving iphone soon for a Samsung device
Which tab do you have?

It is Samsung Galaxy tab 8.9, Wi-Fi.
Where to start...
An OTA (Over the Air) update is a good start as 3.2 is the latest and 4.0 Ice cream sandwich is on the way.
Out of the box, the Galaxy tab is very good without customization. I'd spend my time getting used to the interface and putting my main info on Widgets and syncing everything. There is so much to customize. You will soon learn what you like and what annoys. From there, you can look at some of the things you don't like and tweak. I would leave rooting till a little later just till you get used to things and ics is coming soon. Good idea to see stock issues first but Xda is a great source of info if you want to go down that path.
Sent from my GT-P7300 using Tapatalk
1) root it (see the XDA forum, it's all perfectly explained there)
2) install cwm
3) backup stock rom
4) install Overcome, or one of the two ICS roms
5) setcpu, auto memory killer, voodoo screen utility
6) have fun

No need to be disappointed. Samsung's devs are running at full pace to roll out ICS for dozens of devices. I'm sure they're doing their best. ICS was just released a couple months ago!

I know it's not really quick and easy but don't forget manufacturers received early versions of the source around May (when it was officially announced). In all honestly I was mostly hoping for 3.2 since I've heard it helps performance but it would be really nice to get a date for ICS.
Strange. I am using a tab 8.9 wifi and I did get the 3.2 update OTA. Actually, it arrived instantly when I started using my device a few weeks ago.

Not actually strange. The US region (yes, Sammy releases ROMs in a region basis) hasn't received official 3.2 as of this day, but most of Europe has already, along with other regions (Asia for example). I really dislike how they manage updates. Thankfully we have devs on our side. I can't imagine being stuck with 3.1 firmware.

If you are asking specifically for a Samsung changelog, then no. Good luck obtaining an answer from them apart from "improves stability and performance". Problems with 3.2 are mostly user error.

I received 3.2 two days ago (as a matter of fact when I bought and started the Tab) - I'm in New York and got it OTA. You have to be registered with Samsung in order to get it.

Has anyone heard anything new about us officially getting ICS? It is taking forever, i know our ROM's are stable enough without it but i miss the camera
no news yet.
it was supposed to be Q2 as far as i remember but time is running out.
im seriously pissed off at samsung who are being real d*cks about updating devices to ics.
even small sh*tty devices like huawei media pad have had official ics updates and we bought the most expensive tab thinking it would entail good support but so far nothing
basically i've given up waiting. when it comes ill be happy but im not counting the days / holding my breath
Totaly agree!, I am using ROM Stock (3.2) and I gave up about Sammy ICS, I'am waiting a net model with ICS in Brazil, but I feel so sorry because I think we will have no 8.9 new models

I can understand why they wouldn't want to update, I tried the galaxy tab 2 and it's much smoother and really working very well with ICS considering is the same hardware it just doesn't make sense to update when you can buy the same thing again just for the software update.
Honestly I would even pay some dollars to Samsung if they allow me to update next month.

Why would you say that? They don't even make an 8.9 Wi-Fi only anymore if what I'm getting on their website is correct. Unless that is you are not talking about the Wi-Fi one.
For Wi-Fi only people there is no new device.
I know that the 7310 has the official Samsung ICS ROM, but what about the 7300? Any word? Or guesses?
Also, now that the official ROM is out, are we able to extract the kernel drivers for the camera that were unavailable up to now and preventing us from having our cameras working on third party ROMS?

The first part is guesswork. Nobody but samsung knows when its coming. I would guess soon though.
Second part.yes its possible however there is basically just one real dev left for our tab. And he has loads of other stuff to do, so i wouldnt hold my breath
Perhaps
The P7300 is probably taking longer because more code work is required to keep the GSM voice calling functionality suppressed.
Or maybe they will add it back in as it was there in pre-release demo units?....
Hoping for too much? Myah.
shall we use P7310 ROM in P7300 if we only use WIFI?
Yes.
Also eagerly waiting for the P7300 ICS Update. New thread. Same waiting...
To think it's already September tomorrow. Hoping it arrives soon! I'm not giving up on my SGT 8.9 3G just yet.

It is not a simple matter of releasing it. The P7300 is a 3G tablet and as such is carrier-connected. These firmwares must be coordinated with carriers by region. This takes as much time as a smartphone firmware release.

BTW, on the 10.1 tab, the release of 7500 (3g) / 7510 (wifi) happened in the same week.
So I don't buy this argument...
in that case... sammy sucks!
Two new 7300 OTA from China at sammobile posted September 3. Link: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-P7300&pcode=0&os=1&type=3#firmware
Can anyone confirm if they are for ICS?

i highly doubt it! september 3rd we didn't even have ice for the 7310 so this is probably not an ics update. also the size is probably too small for an ics update.
just guessing though. didn't test it.
