According to androidpit. Samsung denies that ICS is coming out tomorrow and says to check twitter for info. No release date yet :(

by Eric McBride

Lets face it..if there such a thing as THE Android phone right now, it's the Samsung Galaxy S2. Samsung's flagship device is the only phone to date that has moved so many units, and with over 20 million units sold is the only Android device that even comes to iPhonish like sales figures. The only thing that's not so cool about this great device (asides from Touchwiz that is) is that it hasn't receivecd an update to Android Ice Cream Sandwich. But Galaxy S2 owners rejoice, as the official update for the international edition of the device is set to begin on March 10th (TOMORROW), with US editions for each carrier coming later (no date for this yet unfortunately).

The update will naturally come over the air, but if you have Samsung Kies on your computer, its much faster to simply download it to your PC and install it yourself. The update will included a modded Samsung Touchwiz UI and all the goodies Ice Cream Sandwich has to offer. From what we have heard so far, it's pretty much a mix of what's currently running on the Galaxy S2 and what you've seen on the Galaxy Nexus.

The fact that the update tomorrow is only for international editions of the device is sure to disappoint*our US readers, but in all honesty I can't imagine the US having to wait TOO much longer for the update. That being said, Samsung will have to work as fast as possible to make the US carrier modifications for the update, and we'll report back as soon as we have news as to when the US rollout will begin.

Update : WTF Samsung? It seems Samsung's Twitter account has just denied everything they had posted on their official website. It's now being reported that the March 10th date was accidentally published on its Filipino website and that the upgrade date has not yet been decided on. Samsung is again asking that we wait for an update from them on Twitter (ouch...somebody must have REALLY got in trouble for that one).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] poofyhairguy:
ARGH!!!!

The Sprint version has had a couple ICS leaks now and seems pretty close to release. Meanwhile we are stuck with no leaks what-so-ever.

Makes me wonder- if we get the Sprint version's source first will that still help us?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Smacdallas:
I'm pretty sure our phones are entirely different
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Entropy512:
The Sprint version has received lots of leaks because Samsung needed to start development earlier on that device - it required a LOT more work.

In the case of the I777 - it doesn't make sense to start early. Polish the I9100 release as well as you can, and then it takes almost no effort to have a release ready for the I777 (other than, of course, traditional AT&T mangling - AT&T always insists on making "extra" changes that delay the official AT&T update for months, and usually result in official AT&T updates sucking. See the Captivate update fiasco, and the Infuse update touchscreen issues.)

There's no way the Sprint sources will drop before I9100 sources, and I9100 sources are all we need.

Seriously - as it is, we have full function except for touchkeys with I9100 leaks, and fixing touchkeys is a 30 second fix with kernel source.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] BeenAndroidized:
Some people like to test the ROM... ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Karashta:
How about an anti-ics theme for those of us looking to move out of the realm of ics blues? Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AntwanL:
+1 for an Anti-ICS theme!

For KH7 Roms, ie UnNamed, UnOriginal please?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] poofyhairguy:
I promise I wasn't complaining about the development pace for ICS. I have used it on my i777 thanks to your efforts.

I guess I was just a little upset that the Sprint version appears to be the favorite American SGS2 seeing as how it was released first and that it has so many ICS leaks. Your explanation of how it is harder to develop for makes sense, and I wouldn't want their ICS GPS bug.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jonnyredcorn:
The kernel source will be released tomorrow with the release of ICS correct? So we could possibly have a working fully functional ICS build shortly after tomorrow if the kernel sources get released and someone works on it?

I've flashed the fl29 or whatever ICS build on my girls epic 4g touch and it is very fast and smooth...even with touchwiz. Its nice to be able to use the stock ICS launcher instead of touchwiz but still get all the cool features of touchwiz. It still had some bugs....mainly with GPS and the battery life sucking.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] brent8577:
samsung said there is nothing releasing this weekend. people keep making up dates for publicity.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Jonnyredcorn:
Damn I usually don't get my hopes up but I thought I read an article on engadget and that site seems reputable enough...oh well. Anyway so when Samsung does release it for i9100 kernel sources we need will be released too?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] karate104:
That seems to be the consensus. Sources should come with, if not soon after, official i9100 ICS release. The devs can then tweak the code and get it running on our phones.

Engadget is reputable, what you heard was initially correct; Samsung's own website (specifically their Filipino region, which makes me a little ashamed of my own heritage -_-) goofed. They posted a release date from an internal calendar which wasn't correct and the news spread like wildfire; Samsung's Korea region then made an announcement that this date was incorrect and that they'll make an announcement when the date does get set. I'm sure Engadget has already updated their article to reflect this.

What about the 15th for that one variant I forget which... is that still true?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] karate104:
I have no idea which variant you're talking about (still a noob here, I've just read what I think is enough though you probably can't read enough as a noob xD), but I'm pretty sure only the i9100 sources will help us, the other variants are too different from our phone to be of any use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pinoymutt:
I think our best bet will be after Samsung releases a version for the international variant with some source. Hopefully that won't be too long (maybe a few months) and some of the talented devs on the ATT side can start porting over.

When we will see an ATT-specific ICS? By end of Summer at the earliest if we are lucky (although maybe we'll get lucky with some leaks much earlier).

The only reason I'm holding my breath for an ATT Specific ROM is that I am very interested in the NFC part (when they choose to enable the damn thing). Because most of the international variants don't have the NFC capability (I think Korea does have a version though), this may be one thing we might be missing from a port.

Other options would be a new CM (probably will be the fastest, but always introduce a whole list of other tradeoffs) or a port from the new Nexus (which judging by my experience on the Captivate was much easier said than done).

But look on the bright side -- since Samsung is the company that is making the new Nexus -- they are the first vendor to have had access to the ICS code -- so surely some of the other product groups (hopefully the SGSII team) has (or will be really soon) kicking the tires and getting it ready for primetime!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Rrryan2:
I hope Samsung winds up proving me wrong, but I'm afraid you're being overly optimistic here. Samsung also made the Nexus S, the first phone with GB. And now nearly 11 mos. after Nexus S launch there *still* isn't official AT&T GB for Captivate yet...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pinoymutt:
Well, I honestly think that it's the ATT's issue more than Samsung's since the other Galaxy S variants in everywhere else EXCEPT the US have gotten their official GB releases. If you think it's bad on the Cap, my bro is with TMo USA and has the original Vibrant, and apparently they are even worse than ATT with their updates and lack of leaks (not to mention that whole Vibrant 4G BS they pulled)!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yoneilio:
This.

i have to agree wholeheartedly!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] anon87311:
The thing is that it's not all on samsung. It's partially on the carriers as well(and in some cases, I imagine they hold it up much much longer).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] pinoymutt:
I'd probably put 80-90% on the carriers :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] FESCSteve:
Neither carrier or phone manufacturer have much to gain by releasing an upgrade. They will likely sell more Galaxy Nexus' to the same people who just bought SGS2s if they don't offer the upgrade or at least sit on it for a while until sales of their new phones level off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Alucardis666:
So very true.... we probably won't see an official update for quite a while, but we probably will be getting a port from cyanogen or another dev soon though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AndreaCristiano:
I think we will see it soon for two reasons 1) SGS2 is Samsungs Flagship phone 2) AT&T is not getting the Galaxy Nexus for at least 6 months after launch so the SGS2 will be the sole ICS device albeit with Touchwiz 5.0 on it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Colton127:
Can I see your source? As a new AT&T SGS2 owner I'd love to see it :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] AndreaCristiano:
my source isnt exactly something I can show you lol but verizon has an exclusive and it will be at least 6 months after that the Nexus will be available for AT&T but only unlocked and I believe only through Best Buy

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Synner12:
The only version that of the phone that I saw the FCC filing on was a GSM model that does support AT&T's HSPA+. Unless another version goes through the FCC that does not support AT&T's HSPA+, one should be able to buy it off contract and stick an AT&T sim in it. Correct?

I'm just waiting patiently for the source to drop. I'm not going to install any of the ROMs without working buttons, not that desperate yet.

What's shocking is that I've had the official ICS on my Motorola Xoom for nearly 2-months and Motorola is notoriously bad for updates, often worse than Samsung.

Maybe the manufacturers should stop squeezing out phones every other month and focus on a better all around user experience for their customers...heck, just imagine the re-tooling it would require for a new phone. Must be a logistical nightmare.
