ICS for SG Note is coming April for Bell:

http://www.androidcentral.com/list-bell-android-40-updates-appears-timelines-each-device

Not that bad considering Europe could get it before Bell.

This source is ****, and was at this thread about 2-3 times many pages ago. Sensation already got 4.0 but this photo says that only in june.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] damador:
are you sure about HTC Sensation™ 4G ics ?

checked- sensation get ICS only in selected countries - not in real LTE 4g countires ... bell.ca SGSII still didnt have OTA to ICS that is released in europe too

also Bell note is 4 g LTE SGH-I717 version not GT-N7000 like we have here in common - so yes this could be true

2nd check - i put my iimei into - see if my phone work with bell network and get

This device (Samsung Korea-3595480446111xx) should be compatible with the 4G HSPA+ network. To be absolutely sure, visit a Bell store.

To get started, get a Bell SIM card and choose your rate plan now.

typing native 4 G LTE imei for Note will display something different :)

What will ICS deliver in terms of stock / not stock ICS?

Stock email? Presumably yes , its in the Gingerbread

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] damador:
dont thnik so- take al look - all wanted to put ICS to march then all moved it to mid april (ACER, HTC, Sony ) only samsung said q2 (april is in q 2 too)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hagba:
I have been to the SGSII forum here at the XDA looking at the issues they are having with the ICS, honestly from what I read I'd rather stay with the GB for a while until they come up with a bug-free upgrade, since my device is running very well now except the Samsung Apps that stopped working after it was updated couple of days ago ("The email you are using is not for this country"etc...) I wish I could remove it altogether.

Other than that everything its fine at my front until Samsung recruits a proper software stuff.

EDIT:I went to Samsungapps.com,first selected my native country from the list,same as it is on my Note,signed in with the same email et voila everything started working back as before.

Just wanted to straighten things up.

Go ti midnote thread and follow instructions. It is not as difficult as it seems.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] joe2316:
I bought the Galaxy Nexus & Note at the same time in Dec 11 to compare.

Although ICS has a better (cooler?) UI, I chose the Note with GB. Even if I wait for 6/8 months for a proper ICS ROM, that's OK as the phone kicks the ass off of the Nexus in terms of speed, fluidity, media capability and storage.

Patience young Padawans!

And the information/desinformation/speculation continues:

http://www.01net.com/editorial/562656/android-4-0-inegalites-criantes-et-mises-a-jour-repoussees writes (my translation first then the original French posting)

"For the Galaxy Note, the delay is more important, as the mobile won't be updated until late may or early June in France. Samsung didn't want to give us any explanation for this delay."

...

(Then, talking also about Note)

"The Premium Suite should be downloadable at the time of Android 4.0 issuance, next May-June. Furthermore, the maker confirmed us that, despite Ice Cream Sandwich, Samsung's Touchwizz interface will still be there on the Galaxy S2 and Note"

In Original French Language for those who are fluent:

"Pour le Galaxy Note, le retard est plus important, car le mobile ne sera mis à jour que fin mai ou début juin en dans l'Hexagone. Samsung n'a pas souhaité nous donner d'explications sur ce retard.

...

La Premium Suite devrait être téléchargeable au moment de la sortie d'Android 4.0, en mai-juin prochain. Par ailleurs, le constructeur nous a confirmé que, malgré Ice Cream Sandwich, l’interface Touchwizz de Samsung sera toujours de la partie sur les Galaxy S II et Note."

Not sure what to think about this... although 01 Net is a rather serious, established source of information in France for many years, but it's yet one more different date in a long series.

Official AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note Android 4.0 ROM*leaks

http://mobile.theverge.com/2012/4/3...amsung-galaxy-note-lte-android-4-rom-download
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] se1988:
Im curious...

If Samsung never would have said that ICS is going to come Q1, but just said "2012", wouldn't most of you guys be happy with your Note as it is? I think you would. And whats even better, this thread would have been free of whining.

And when Samsung first published ICS everyone would be like "YES!! ICS!! Its finally here!!"

For you who bought GNote because of the ICS promise: You bought the promise, not the product. And as we all know, sometimes promises can be broken. Or delayed. Its just how it is. So I guess it's too bad for you.

As far as I am concerned, I am having a blast with my GNote, and it will be even better when ICS comes. But I can wait, because "those who wait for something good, will never wait in vain" (norwegian saying)

This is like the htc HD2 wp7-upgrade times all over again... Except this time we KNOW that there will be a major update released. Even if it got delayed. Now, if Samsung were to BREAK their promise and not release ICS for GNote, I would be kinda mad. But hey, it is coming! So just lean back and enjoy the wait. Or just install a custom ROM. Or whatever.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Vulpix:
Is there any reason why there are so many SGS2 leaks for ICS, but to date there's only 1 terribly buggy unusable ICS ROM for the Note?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] hagba:
I think they are taking their time,looks like they don't want to screw up a good working phone, if anything goes wrong Note users won't show any mercy to Samsung.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] remixtech:
Surely, but they can leak a rom in order to have a global feedback... ;)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] foxmeister:

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] SsZzliMm:
Google Music App

The only thing which makes me sad about the update delay is the Google Music App. Because it works on Gingerbread too, but the built in equalizer feature only works with ICS ROMs. I've tried this app on Desire HD with custom ICS ROM and I loved it, so I hope the wait will be over very-very soon!!!

I found the first video of the AT&T leaked rom is up on youtube :

//www.youtube.com/watch?v=kSKigFpIF0w

(apols I can't post full links yet as I haven't enough thank yous)

I suspect this is pretty much the final build of ICS update for note so lets confirm what has/hasn't changed, (and what's been touch wized):

Confirmed as stock ICS functionality::)

Task and Notification swiping is same as ICS

GMail is ICS

Youtube is ICS

Screen unlock is ICS

Android Beam Works - Suggesting NFC is working!

Chrome Autosync is working

Easy button touch taking of screenshots is ICS

Not ICS:(

Google Calendar. S Planner has been renamed to Calendar. However, you can install stock calendar from here without rooting https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.concentriclivers.calendar

Launcher/Apps menu presentation is different (same as before)

Launcher/Widget menu presentation is different (same as before)

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Vulpix:
It seems like nobody understands what I'm talking about. That is based on i9220 leak, not the crappy N7000 leak that did not even have the phone working properly. The Galaxy S2 had several leaked ROMs before its eventual release while the Note had only 1 to date.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] damador:
i9920 and n7000 are exactly thesame in hardware means - they just have different code numbers ( and manufacture site) but in all physical aspect are THE SAME - so yes chinese version roms are also for n7000 - they have different bootloaders (some phones in EU also have different bootloaders based on country ... so its normal)

only different version is i 717 ATnT Note - it dont have physical buttons and have different hardware

S2 is nearing end of life so they probably aren't so guarded about the phone, and are more happy to use the user-base as Guinea Pigs. GNote is the Daddy at the moment so they are more likely to want to hold back, make sure its stable and shows of the phone's features without being a massive flop.

Hi,

Sorry, I'm a noob, but this might be interesting, if just a mistake by whoever wrote it.

I saw here on the Official Samsung Website that the Note already has Android 4.0

samsung.com/uk/news/localnews/2012/samsung-launches-premium-suite-for-galaxy-note-with-exclusive-angry-birds-space-content

Is it a mistake?

Samsung has today announced it will be offering a Premium Suite upgrade for the Galaxy Note,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] KaizenKing:
First Paragraph, D'oh... My Mistake, not the writers, my apology. I got carried away in the moment :)

So basically the Premium Suite announcement could be or probably is the trigger phrase for the press release announcing ICS.

Maybe this information can assist some of the key eagle eyes we have in this great community.

Many thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sangalaviral:
He is not fully wrong. If you see product specifications below the article it states OS Android 4.0
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] KaizenKing:
Language can be a tricky misleading thing when it comes to Marketing, the key words here are "will be" and everything else becomes the future.

It got me.

The Premium Suite looks nice with more functionality and apparently easier use.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] :
I think he means that if the Official Rom is released, this thread will be updated saying so. Discussion of said rom can be done in a new thread when, and only when, said Official Rom is released.

Until then, this is a rumor thread and all other rumor(info) threads regarding the official ICS rom is to remain here, other ICS releases have their own threads because they are their own releases in their own right.

The only sources they quote are their own previous articles and even then its just the same news just rehashed. Q2 is anytime between April, May and June - news we already know.

If we take it straight from the horses mouth so to speak: *snip* I'm not allowed to post links, fail. You'll have to copy/paste this: samsungmobilepress.com/2012/03/22/Samsung-offers-Premium-Suite-software-upgrade-for-GALAXY-Note-users

My advice? Expect the update at the end of June, that way if it arrives sooner, then yippee!! Otherwise, its not Q3 till July.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] NutZInTheHead:
Hi everyone.

I have been following XDA Developers forums for more than a year now but never actually joined. so Hi everyone.

My phone is the dark blue Galaxy Note that I bought in February and it's been awesome so far. I too am very excited for ICS launch like most of you.

Sorry XDA wont let me post links after I reach 8 posts.

For the link go to GSMArena and you can find the Galaxy Note Pink launched in Korea.

Loos like they are saying it will be launched with ICS already installed.

So does this mean the release for us wont be too far away. Possible we may see ICS this April after all if all goes well.

btw I'm from New Zealand but moving to Australia soon.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
the Korean model is different to ours, its just like the i717 with snapdragon but also comes with a built in TV tuner and aerial... which ours doesn't.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ubermetroid:

TV turner? Where can I learn more about this?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] anonymous572:
Here:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eg5NNcGfh7I

It has only three differences between international N7000 version.

- TV-Tuner with antenna

- NFC module

- LTE module.

It is quite possible that firmware may be suitable with international version, like a chinese I9220.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ubermetroid:
Side note - does anyone know where I could get a TV turner for my Note? N7000.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
No it also has the Snapdragon Core.. the N7000 has the Exynos Core.

These are pretty significant changes in my eyes.

The Korean model is closer to the i717 AT&T model than ours...

Speculation alert :

There were rumors out around 6 weeks ago that official ics would be released for SGSII on march 12 the and SG note on April 12th. The one for SGSII was correct !!!!!!!!!!

@Taptalk-GalaxyNote
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] senectus:
I suspect that arbitrary dates don't mean much in this process.

I reckon (guestimating) that we'd need to see at least one more N7000 specific leak before we could expect the official release to be close.

Even then I fully expect the "official" release of N7000 ICS to be highly controlled by the Telco's. Samsung wont (don't think they could even) push it to all the N7000's.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] chasmodo:
I find this not entirely accurate. There's a lot of carrier independent Notes about, and they also have to be updated. That's why you can see 'Open Europe', 'Open Germany' etc. firmwares here.

Anyway, it'd be easier for Sammy to push out ICS without carrier crapware first.
