They may have found a last minute issue and they are trying to fix it for all we know.

Personally, I don't see the delay as something negative, but as something positive.

Too many times I've seen software updates rushed causing problems to a great mass of users.

I think Samsung is trying to avoid this problem and are taking their time to ensure that the software they will release is as stable as it can be.
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
Be aware that only tweets for Samsung are official release dates and, as far as I'm aware, there has never been such a tweet. If there has then I'd appreciate someone posting a link to the twitter page, with a date and time so we can look it up. All I've seen are screen-shots and copy/pasta text which is not official.

And then there's this...

I think that makes my point ;)
[Galaxy S II General] chrisjcks:
It was Samsung's own official homepage, doesn't get anymore 'official' than that.

ICS for the SGS2, over kies, & on the 10th March.

But tweets from Samsung & Sammobile deny this as the date.

Like we all said, it's all a big mess.

Different departments within samsung seem to have different information, looks like nobody knows what's going on.
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
Can you post a link to the page on Samsung's site?
[Galaxy S II General] nikzDHD:
Another link floating about:

http://skp.samsungcsportal.com/integrated/popup/FaqDetailPopup.jsp?seq=422548&cdsite=ph
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
That's not release information though - it's just instructions on how to perform the update. I've not seen anyone post anything by Samsung themselves that gives a date.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
F sammobiles for now, but GSMArena can't be wrong IMO, they are indeed a trustworthy group, and I hope you all have seen this by now,

Samsung has denied about any availability of Upgrade on 10th March. Even on Samsung philipines website they have removed detailed info part.
[Galaxy S II General] Krookd:
Go back a few pages and the link is posted. No use to you now though as it has been taken down. But it did originally state the March 10 release date.
[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
Thank you for that. Now if that was accessible from the news page then we'd have something to talk about ;)

[Galaxy S II General] Archer:
I'm not sorry I missed it :)

I'm personally of the opinion that Samsung will release it when they're ready and I'd rather have it working than have LPH on my phone again. I've still got an excellent phone with an excellent OS on it.
[Galaxy S II General] Socotroco:
All this date changing and speculation about the release date makes me remember when last year I had the Nokia N8 and it was exactly the same for the Symbian "Belle" update... lots of speculation regarding the deployment date.

Finally Nokia deployed it when they wanted and not when users/clients requested... so, I think SAMSUNG will do the same: promise a date, then change it if they can´t do it and so on.. until one day your phone tells you "update available, do you want to update?"

just wait ... wait, they will release it, they have to because of brand credibility.
[Galaxy S II General] xk315:
Blue round i icon Update??

just a minute ago my phone received a message when i checked it i saw a blue round icon with an i (same icon for the about phone options in settings) in my notifications....the thing is it had a description but in what i assume was korean. when i clicked it it opened the browser but dint really do anything.

Anybody else had that?
[Galaxy S II General] joaobarroso:
Anyone knows if we need to have a stock rom to get the update or we can stay on a custom rom?
[Galaxy S II General] chrisjcks:
To get it via kies when it's released, you will need stock.

However, if you wait for the odin flash version, you can stay on your custom rom until then.
[Galaxy S II General] galaxymen:
When ICS release, it will be first in Kies and than Odin or both in same time?
[Galaxy S II General] kkipsy:
i will be able to update to ICS if even when i flash my original ROM , kies still tells me your device can not bla bla bla via KIES , i tryed flashing the original ROM , and any other versions of S roms from other countryes.

[Galaxy S II General] vcosmin:
actually even on leaked ics roms the battery last way better than any mother of a custom kernel.

and i see a lot of guys telling about how great htc is. well, they should start making phones and then they can be first in releasing updates on them.

until now sammy got Omnia, Omnia II, Galaxy S and Galaxy SII, probably best phones of the era.

they have a problem, indeed with updates...

and i believe that we will have the update only after SGSIII will be launched and that will be THE FINAL UPDATE and they will forget about the last year top phone...

That is what they did with all their's flahship phones.
[Galaxy S II General] santo the saint:
If the app says you so yes. After that youwill see kies works perfect

[Galaxy S II General] supermult:
I´d really like to see Samsung team of software-engineers responsible for the updates.

I mean they should just hire codeworkx and the rest of teamhacksung, pay everyone of them 10k per month and get the updates rolling.

I´m only speculating but i guess they would have been able to build a pretty stable ics one week after the source release from google, if they had access to the source of every freaking proprietary chip in our phone.

But they managed to make a great rom, even without the sources and with all the hassle. So thanks to codeworkx and his team.

I´m happy that there are people like you, who do it for the fun and challenge.

Thanks for not waiting for the release of the kernel source and just doing it then.
[Galaxy S II General] rcharles:
Nope same thing in KIES:

"Your device does not support software upgrading via KIES.

[Galaxy S II General] chrisjcks:
Who cares...

If latest OS is what you just have to have, RIGHT NOW ... You would have bought a nexus.

But even with ICS, the GNex is still slower & less powerfull compared to the SGS2 with GB, so software isnt everything...

Simply put, stop your *****ing, its reached that point now where these posts are pissing me off, not the lack of ICS.

Phew, finally got that out! #endminirant

I was at the CeBit, Hannover, Germany and talked to Samsung. They told me that the ICS update will come in the first quarter 2012 and will be released in the week from 26. - 1.04.

I dont know if these date is only a placeholder, because it is the last week in March but this is what they told me.

[Galaxy S II General] soulicro:
I'm not entirely sure where that site got "just after Christmas" - I followed through their sources and saw no mention of that expected release date.

Anyhow, it will come sooner or later. Our little device is an extremely capable beast as it is, no reason to be impatient :)
[Galaxy S II General] ParanoidDK:
Well just after xmas dont seem right thinking about how bad the alphas are that have been leaked... If it is true on the other hand then that mean the alphas that have been leaked have been old firmwares... But i will guess a Feb. release, then they pull it right after the release because of some bug ether in kies or in the firmware and then finnaly release a "bugfree" version in marts-april...
[Galaxy S II General] Hollow.Droid:
This

And this. The recent leak was only a week or two old and still looked/functioned like a very early release. As such I speculate a late Feb, early March release. This still falls in the Q1 boundary but gives plenty of time for Samsung to polish the release.
[Galaxy S II General] sebas156:
Glad we have CM :)
[Galaxy S II General] zee54:
Yeah I would agree, "just after xmas" does sound a little soon and probably too good to be true and the source doesn't help to back it up in any way.

But the fact that they specifically added it in and actually gave 2 seperate time scales for the 2 phones makes you think that it might not be all made up and they might know something we don't.

Best not to get our hopes up I guess ... if we predict for a Q2 release then I think we'll be pleasantly surprised when it's released earlier lol :D
