Not wise at all friend. Since when customer frustration is called "whining"? I don't know about you but personally I don't get Samsung products free of charge. Buying a phone today is an investment. And as a customer you expext to be satisfied by certain simple services like updating your phone to the latest firmware since you're planning keeping it for a considerable amount of time.

Maybe behaviour like yours is the problem in the first place that eventually they (companies) don't get the message. But don't be foolish, they ARE visiting these forums.

My point is, okay, we get the update after all, but there is no reason justifying the enormous amount of time it took especially if we consider that they didn't even bother to update the interface in the least.

There are two possible scenarios. Either marketing reasons/neglection or simple incompetence. I don't know which is worse...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JolyonS:
Oh, don't be so pompous.

Since it was repeated constantly on a forum that is not the producer's customer service desk, in an annoying high-pitched, whiny voice that comes across even when people are typing.

No more than buying a bar of chocolate is an 'investment'. Greek government bonds are a better investment than a phone.

I don't. I just expect it to work. And it does.

Yeah, I am sure my mocking the brattish whinging in this forum is the reason Samsung have only released their ICS update for the Galaxy Note to most of the world's population and not all of it.

If they are coming here all they will learn is that some of their customers are impatient, spoiled, idiots who will never be satisfied and I suspect this will not be news to them.

You are right.

Everything else ever in the history of the world has been delivered to the most optimistic timescale with no problems whatsoever so it is utterly impossible that there's any reason at all for them delaying this update and forcing you to go through your salad days with a disfiguring, dangerous, dirty, ice-cream sandwichless phone.

They can only have done it because they hate you and want you to suffer. And how you are suffering.

You should sue.

ICS ota last night

I got ICS update ota last night for my Polish Note. Works OK. Some programs run better with ICS. Underwhelming, but I was already mostly satisfied before the update.

You do work for Samsung, don't you? :p
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sonkameja:
Exactly , how dare you expect product support for at least two years for a device you probably paid more than 600USD to get (sarcasm)

The message being said from Samsung is if you want a new upgrade from yesteryear then buy our new 800 dollar phone dammit :banghead:

Sent from my GT-N7000
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] emuX:
Nope. The message from Samsung is you bought a device which worked - use it.

You want the latest OS, Samsung might upgrade your firmware once they've got it working. They might also give you some Addons like Premium Suite.

Wanted ICS? Should've bought the Nexus, or waited for the S3, or got the HTC OneX, or something else that CAME with ICS!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bigstarrynight:
Exactly.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] electricsoldier:
Yeah, I don't think we'll be seeing ICS today. Was a bit too good to be true. That said, I await this update with great anticipation. Meanwhile I'll have to be satisfied with the awesome battery life I've been getting with RocketRom v22 and Franko v8 kernel (A big thanks to all the great devs who participated in making my Note so awesome)!! Speaking of RocketRom, a bunch of great devs are working on the Team RocketRom ICS, and at the rate they are going, they might well have a stable ICS before Samsung gets round to releasing their update... Although they might need some of the official drivers...

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Corininha:
Huh? As far as I remember Samsung said SII and Note (I think Tab too) will get the upgrades in Q1. If SII will upgrade today is safe to assume Note will come same time or very short after. They say this for half year and I don't think they will release one and then another.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] shanu_08:
Looks like that is the case: Samsung Galaxy SII gets ICS update 4.0.3 over KIES.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Vohaul79:
Stable ICS

Ive been using the ICS chainfire repack for the last week or more, with Nova launcher on top. Been stable and excellent.

I have to say, even when we get ICS, which btw, is just as touchwizzed as their gingerbread version (seriously why?), just put on Nova Launcher. Its identical to running ICS, only with a bit more customization.

In fact, previously having a Nexus, I feel like Nova launcher is faster than both stock ICS AND the ICS / Touchwiz leak from Samsung. When we finally get legitimate ICS for the gNote, Im feeling I will want Nova launcher on their anyway. Been fantastic.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sideways86:
I'd love to post it in the specific thread of the ROMs i've tested it with, but I don't have a high enough postcount to post in the dev section. Figured I might be able to help some people by posting this.

I've found that SOD in the current batch of ICS roms for note is consistently induced by using JuiceDefender's 'location based wifi' tool.

I've also found that JD does very little for ICS based roms, and you might as well uninstall it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] greenlant:
I hope I´m allowed to ask right here: Do you guys think that there may be some problems with rooting/flashing after OTA ICS update? My Note is still unrooted & stock, would it be better to root & go on ICS custom rom before the official update?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] alex1-2-3-4:
I'd say there is no immediate need to upgrade to ICS right now,

it's cool, it's nice to be on ICS, but that's more a "want to have"

than a "must have because something doesn't work on GB" ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] greenlant:
Thank you for your opinion! So no need to root before OTA?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] alex1-2-3-4:
No, definitely NO need to root, otherwise noone who hasn't rooted

would be able to receive updates ;)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] greenlant:
Aaah, I have to express myself a bit more precisely :) : My question was, if there will be any issues in rooting after the official update on ICS (like it is everytime a mess to wait for a jailbreak after an IOS update ;)) or something like that. :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] electricsoldier:
Hi there, I don't think so, the devs have ics rooting already so I wouldn't worry.

Couple of things got moved around in the menus and Oh, I did a factory reset from the menu.

On my UK phone, the update from what I see, is safe. However, it might brick your phone, just as the early German release did to others. Take your pick, take your chances, or why not just wait? ;)

Anyone received updates already for the above version?

How can I know when they roll out an update?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
I updated via kies last night. It did crash out a few times at 24% on downloading the update but left for a few hours it worked. I have never rooted or wiped my stock rom - my note is only a few months old. Install was quick and straight forward.

Im now in the process of letting the battery drain, in 12 hours since I updated its gone from 80 to 65% battery which is relatively normal for me.

Regards ICS it is a lot quicker for me but Samsung seems to have stripped a few of the extra features out. Camera seems the same, app management hasnt changed but I havent had a full play with the settings yet.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] emuX:
Just had a play with the new Touch Wiz on the S3. It's amazing compared to the rough experience we get with the Note ICS. Here's hoping that Samsung give us an update with new TW at some point.

If not, I wonder if we can just get the TW apk from the S3 and install that on our Note?!

brick issues while flashing custom ics in note

hello guys....am new to these forums as well as the whole custom rom flashing scene. i just want to ask a quick question about the potential chances of bricking my note if i custom a stock rom and kernel. my reason for asking is that a number of people that own note have told me that there is a very serious risk of bricking the note due to some bug in its software, so i would appreciate any suggestion that u guys can give me. thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] bigstarrynight:
Do plenty of research and gain a better understanding of what it is you are trying to do first. Secondly, after boffing up, understand that depending on what you customise, bricking will remain high on the list of possible outcomes.

Had some battery problems today since updating. Last night it had around 80% charge, went to sleep, no apps open and was locked. Woke up with 20%..

With no use and no background apps running to drain the battery it's worrying. So I gave it a little charge before work, go it up to around 40%.

At work again no background apps running, brightness on low. Left in my bag, checked it like twice. Got to lunch it was on 9%.

Had I been doing stuff on it, I'd be fine with it. But when I'm not doing anything that's a major problem!
