READ BEFORE UPDATING: Samsung Captivate Glide gets official nod on ICS from AT&T...

I know there is another thread, but this is to make you aware of several issues.

From AT&T press release for the Vivid ICS that is already OTA live:

While the update is still about 3 to 4 weeks away, I want to make sure certain issues that have previously risen, don't happen on the Glide.

Firstly, If you are unlocked & have CWM installed, do not try to flash the update without first preparing yourself & your device. Updates on devices that have incorrectly made CWM versions that cannot be not overwritten have & will cause issues from simple black screen all the way to emergency dload mode.

to use official updates you need to relock your device & be using a correctly keyed AT&T rom.

My advice to you is to wait for a final OTA to be released & rooted & then sideload the update. ICS will however require a new boot section & possibly radio.

Once I have time, I will write a tutorial based on both my Vivid & SGS2 update experiences.

Until then be happy that you now own the only ICS slider so far.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Roeni:
this is so incredible nice :-)

just ordered this phone a week ago from germany.

It works perfekt, but i was a bit disapointed, that there will be no ICS update...
[Samsung Captivate Glide] VinayS:
Does this mean,, the Unlocked (Network Unlock)) has to be restored back the NETWORK LOCKED mode.??

Will the initial unlock key work later also ??
[Samsung Captivate Glide] gabby131:
will this issue be more dramatic for the Canadian, Rogers Glide (I927R)? When it comes to Rogers, they really don't announce if an Android device will get (or not) an update...
[Samsung Captivate Glide] sbiricuda:
Is the Captivate Glide available for sale in Germany? :eek:
[Samsung Captivate Glide] timhpg:
Hi

I can't update OTA the updte from ATT. After the package gets downloaded to my phone my phones reboots and then it cancels the update.

Do you know if it is failing because my phone is rooted?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Roeni:
No, i bought it via wireless.amazon.com and shipped it to germany with borderlinx. All you need is a unlock code and everything works finde :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] GSLEON3:
I will release a rooted Version once it is released, so don't worry Canada & Germany! I love my Vivid, but the Glide has really surprised me with some of its nice media functions & overall responsiveness. It is also one of the few devices that will operate on the 5Ghz wireless-n band.

So far, only AT&T has announced plans for ICS on the Glide. Samsung told me the same.

As for lock & unlock, you always need to relock devices for OTA updates, but the one you are getting now is not ICS, just 2.3.6. I suggest skipping that one & waiting for the ICS build which will be here in roughly over 3-weeks. LTE devices are getting first run from AT&T.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] gabby131:
Oh dear sir my deepest thanks to you! At least now I see light!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Aquethys:
:o Only 3-4 weeks? I thought it was a couple months...?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
Wow that is good news!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] sam.assad:
This is one of reasons I love XDA ppl .thanks for the heads up ...i will wait until we have a rooted one .thanks
[Samsung Captivate Glide] hockeyfan:
Slight nitpick. The Sony Ericsson Xperia Pro has also been confirmed to be upgraded to ICS. Of course, its specs are somewhat worse than the Captivate Glide...
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
Just a question all this talk about ICS. Is ICS really that much better then Gingerbread. I mean I have seen the slick new interface but will it be better at handling opened apps and will battery life be better. I am just wondering if I should upgrade or since Gingerbread is working fine (If it ain't broke).

JB
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Big Ray:
To me, being able to have a real in app spellchecker makes it more than worth updating. I hate typing emails on gingerbread because I am such a terrible speller. And I don't have time for all the copying and pasting from one app to another. Anyways hopes this helps.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Roeni:
You can use Google Chrome with ICS :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Evil Alex:
In ICS Android itself makes better use of the hardware inside the phone. One of the big things in ICS is that Android itself starts using the GPU for graphics, where it used to pass that to the CPU. This means a far more optimised system overall, which should translate to better battery life.

Because the CPU has to do less to little of something it wasn't specifically built for. This should free the CPU up as the graphics load is now handled by the GPU. But it's unlikely that this freed up CPU-time will mean the CPU gets to sit there, idly. It will probably be used for something else. So that could mean that ICS uses the CPU equally to Gingerbread, and uses the GPU more than Gingerbread. This would mean a shorter battery life.

Going on the information I've got I'd say ICS will be a better system overall. But it still remains to be seen, time will really tell. :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
So we don't really know if battery life will be better or worse. I like that you mention that the GPU will be more efficiently used over gingerbread, but as you said only time will tell. Guess as always I will wait and see what others think of it once they install it and then see if I will upgrade. Thank you for your input.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Aquethys:
Does anyone know if in the updates there will be vertical-landscape transitions? The lack of them on here makes me cringe! Is it Samsung enabled/can we reenable them?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] huhu1312:
sounds good ;]

atm i have 2.3.5

but if i go to settings->check for updates it say there is no update

shouldn`t it have to show 2.3.6 for me atm?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] superdave513:
I just checked the website myself and i don't see what you see. I can't check OTA with my phone as I tend to remove almost everything from ROM once rooted.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] fpsdoug46:
I just checked for an OTA update and it said you may check again in 3hrs 34mins. I've never got that message before, this may be a good sign. :cyclops:
[Samsung Captivate Glide] inthepit:
did you check yesterday? if so that is why it would say that. after you check, the phone will not let you check again for 24 hours, and it counts down, which would be why it says 3hrs 34min..
[Samsung Captivate Glide] fpsdoug46:
Ah my mistake yes I did check yesterday I was unaware that you couldn't do that. sorry
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Galaid:
any news? :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] sbiricuda:
When ICS will be available, will we need to wait for an android hero to root the ICS rom? :confused:
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Pyho:
So this clearly isn't happening by the end of July.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Roeni:
Did they say july of which year? :laugh:
[Samsung Captivate Glide] kmkrreeves1:
I think every month someone posts they're going to have it by the end of the month, I still haven't heard a source of all these dates.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Pyho:
I'm starting to have a sneaking suspicion that Samsung's just going to do a reversal and say that ICS can't be done like HTC did with the Desire HD and LG did with the Optimus 2X.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bobbinthreadbare:
Wouldnt surprise me. As much as I wanted a keyboard phone and as much as I like the Glide, I dont think Ill bother with another non-Nexus device. The lack of communication from Samsung, almost nonexistent dev support just kills this thing. Sucks, I really like this phone but Im going to start looking for something else. A keyboard isnt worth the complete lack of support and a strong community.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Pyho:
I switched from a feature phone with a keyboard to the Captivate Glide mostly because I thought I needed a keyboard to properly text, but after using some third party keyboards like Swype Beta and SwiftkeyX, I've found it to be nearly useless. Occasionally, I'll need to type something more hefty, but not that often. I almost regret not choosing a more popular/powerful phone like the Skyrocket. Hopefully, Google will start reining in updates soon and things will improve overall, though.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] dudejb:
Yes, but no matter which phone you get other then the Nexus you will have to wait for the service providers to release their updates. The nexus is the only Android phone that should get updates directly from Google. This is one thing I hate about Android! I wish the upgrades were more like apple where all phones get the update except phones that are older then 3 years old. I would be good with that!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Pyho:
Mhm. But more popular phones are more likely to be updated and tend to be updated faster than less popular ones. It makes sense for a company to prioritize updates based on the number of customers with a certain phone. If the Galaxy SII were where we are today, a lot more people would be complaining and Samsung would probably have taken note.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] tannerzion:
Apple has one model choice, with the older versions losing support as it goes.

Android has tons of models and choices, Google would need to have all the phone specifications and drivers to be able to issue updates. And it would take up a lot of resources.

I could see Google doing some sort of contract thing in the future where a device maker could have Google do their updates for a fixed price...
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Evil Alex:
With things like this you just don't know what kind of deals have been made behind closed doors. All three parties are big corporations which ultimately are in it for the money.

So it's quite possible AT&T is holding it off in favour of other phones they do plans with(S3 as a business phone, perhaps?). It could also be it makes business sense to Samsung to do so.

Either way, these are NOT dumb parties doing things without reason. It still sucks, though. I for one will be pissed if it's not here before on my next b-day (the 17th of this month).

So if anyone from Samsung, AT&T, or Google is getting this: Please make my b-day a happy one! (And bring joy to so many others around the world as well!;) )
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Darkendvoid88:
Going to end up getting a new Photon Q on sprint if they can't hurry up and get ICS pushed out to us :banghead:
[Samsung Captivate Glide] roothorick:
Except that there's no such restriction with the Glide. 1GB RAM, >8GB flash and a generous /system partition... they don't have an excuse like HTC did. The Glide could do Jellybean better than the Nexus 7 can.

I suspect the delay is largely on nVIDIA's end, and they recently finally came through, so I have big hopes for the coming months. We may see ICS/JB before 2013!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mrk2815:
hello there is a samsung chat which has qwerty full keyboard on it, which will be sold overseas in europe and asia. it has the same specs as the captivate glide and it has ics on it already . so i am thinking that the captivate glide has to get ics. it will be soon. since there are lots of tweeting on this on twitter and facebook. so we will get it soon.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bakageta:
The Galaxy Chat has nowhere near the same specs, it's an 850mhz single-core with absolutely terrible specs on every piece of hardware.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Evil Alex:
I forgot about them, but you're right! We've got a Tegra 2 Ventana in our Glides and that link says the new release supports that one! Good news indeed, one valid excuse down :)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mrk2815:
hello i dont know. but i found another samsung qwerty with qual com specs that is headed to t mobile and it has jelly bean on it . it is the samsung sblaze 2. i think that us captivate glide users are not going to be left out in the cold. Also i was in contact with an att rep today and he said that the Captivate glide is getting ics. So just patiently wait and you will get it. also i look around on facebook, and the samsung page says by mid or end of august for us. So that tells me that i have nothing to worry about just to wait and get it. once we have the drivers and need parts of the tectra processor and os the developers will get us custom rom from ther on an then we wont have to worry about at or rogers just wait for a source code of the latest os to be rreleased and a dedicated developer to develop. that is it.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mrk2815:
any new news on ics or jelly bean for captivate glide. since the relevent stuff required to get us a custom rom is now out ther is there any developer working on a custom rom for us for ics or jelly bean. just curios. that was the delay before as i recall there was the issue of getting the needed drivers and boot loader to work in order to get us ics and jelly bean. so now is the project under way and any new news on that end as well.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Galaid:
which required stuff is out?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mrk2815:
if you look at the link posted to the forums u will understand what i am talking about as NVDA the tecra 2 venta which is the processor and chip in our phones has released the necessary stuf as far as the drivers needed and bootloader information needed in order to get a working ics or jelly bean to the captivate glide . as i recall there was a developer working on this and he was having issues with the bootloader and drivers not working and that was why he could not get ics to work on the phone but i think that if he knows that there are released boottloader and drivers released from nvda then he will hopefully begin working on the project for us.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Galaid:
which link ?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] brunobbarcelos:
As Samsung is about to release a new qwerty smartphone already running 4.0.4 we may have to find a way for a ROM upgrade ourselves.

T-Mobile T699 (Galaxy S Blaze Q) is coming (http://www.tmotek.com/?p=153).
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bakageta:
That doesn't particularly help us, it's a Snapdragon S4 and we're on Tegra 2.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] scidoc:
Now the Tabs on the ICS update list are getting it . . .

. . . but not the Captivate Glide YET!

I was hoping that the Captivate Glide would be getting the ICS update before Samsung started moving to the tablets.

Evidently that is not to be: I hear the Tab 10.1 is getting ICS starting today in the US (but maybe not all over the US at once).

Please AT&T and Samsung, please relase ICS for the Glide . . .
[Samsung Captivate Glide] antharr:
I almost ready to move to a new phone/carrier and say screw AT&T and Samsung.

Sent from my Cappy Glide. The red headed step child of the Samsung family.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Aquethys:
Don't screw Samsung or AT&T. Get the galaxy s Iii like me and get guaranteed jellybean and future updates past that cuz of super devs...:)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] psierak:
ICS leak posted in dev section

Someone posted the ICS leak for AT&T today in android development section.

I'm too scared to flash it onto my Rogers one though... !!

If you do on rogers let me know how it goes!
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Salaros:
I have AT&T's one, before flashing it with ICS (yesterday) I have tried to flash it with Rogers firmware (due to Currier IQ), have never had problem with it. As you know R suffix in your model name means that your cell phone is delivered by Rogers operation.. and that's the only difference. There is no hardware difference between 2 phones, so go on and flash it.

P.S. keep in mind that keyboard backlight doesn't work, you will also have to remove all the bloatware and root the phone (by flashing CWM recovery with Odin 3 (1.85) and then with su & superuser to gain root access)

P.S. P.S. Personally I like ICS speed and features, but I have to say that OsiMod firmware was more stable. Music player on ICS misbehaves (i.e. I have all the tracks duplicated with the first 'copy' of each track unusable, some people report another abnormal behavior: Music player doesn't scan music archives correctly and remains empty :eek:)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] scidoc:
The better way for a Captivate Glide update???

For those unrooted Glide users who have been soooo patiently waiting for the official ICS update, I wonder if the better update would be to go directly to Jelly Bean from Gingerbread (assuming that the Glide is capable of running JB)? Is this even possible?

I could be way off base here, but waiting this long for ICS probably has caused very irrational thought patterns . . . :silly:
[Samsung Captivate Glide] switchfruit:
yeaaaaahhh you give att/samsung way too much credit. :P that'll never happen :(
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ninthsense:
So did somebody tried this on the ROGERS version ? Need to know this works before i try..
[Samsung Captivate Glide] santimaster2000:
Yes, it works, also, It replaces Rogers boot logo, for a Samsung one, pretty nice.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] ninthsense:
Got the info and flashed it :victory: . I'm now trying the new ICS on my glide finally.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] iamheed:
Real ice cream sandwich love for captivate glide!!!!!!!!

GLIDE USERS, REJOICE!!!!!!!:angel:

Well...ATT glide users anyway.

Ive found an actual working Android 4.0.4 build for the Captivate Glide. I flashed it last night and its working quite beautifully if I do say so myself even though im not a fan of the touchwiz UI.

Its a one click process that requires you to have root access before hand, but it takes a way root after flashing.

I myself am fairly new to the ROM flashing game so I'm interested in seeing what more experienced users can do with this.

Since im a NOOB here to the forums, I cant post the link, so anyone interested just DM me and please, dont hesitate to thank me if it works for you

[Samsung Captivate Glide] roothorick:
The Glide is most definitely more than powerful enough for JB... but I wouldn't expect an official ROM.

I have an ongoing project right now, trying to make a JB AOSP ROM. Even if the official ICS kernel won't power a JB environment, if I can get my own kernel to talk to the secril from the ICS leak, and then get that secril to work with JB... let's just say we'd have JB WIP ROMs a week later.

ICS 404 for 927?

I found this one up from two days ago:

i'll be getting a captivate glide soon and it is unlocked, this is my first ever android device so i'm a n00b what do i have to do to get the ics update on my device?

i'm getting an unlocked captivate glide this week will i be able to install this update, and will it reverse the unlock? i've never had an android b4 so i'm a n00b if you can point me to any link tht can help i'd appreciate it
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Viktor0610:
Your phone may relocks itself back, but if you have (or buy) an unlock code, that will help you out. ;)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] roothorick:
Samsung devices are prone to relocking. Have your unlock code on hand; it doesn't invalidate the code, the phone just "forgets" the code.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] mrk2815:
hello i have that on my locked at captivate glide. it work great. it ist the official i927uclg9. that is working well. the only issue i have is the contact and the doc which is suppose to have the people icon is still as contacts icon is not ther original from google, or maybe samsung has changed things around with the touch wiz uei, when releaseing the official rom to at and there is some changes. that is the only thing i noticed as well as getting rid of the bloat ware from at adn then you are a very happy campper. i am really liking ics. i am hoping that someon will also leak an official jelly bean leak from samsung maybe we need to findn some one at samsung who is leaking the official leaks before they are released . i wonder anyways that is good for us and the rooting community. also i was wondering whihc one o hte ics launcher does the community like who iare running ics on their captivate glide devices. i dont like touch wiz and that is why i am looking for a beter an simplier launcher to use fo this purpose. i heard about adb, nova launcher, and go launcher pro, i am wondering what isthe easiest oen to use and configure.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] gabby131:
I agree. I also have the note and s3. But still patiently waiting for ICS on the glide. 2x core plus hw qwert is a unique combo. And this is my first tegra device and happy with it.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] SillyB:
I am running the leaked rom also, and I installed the Jellybean Holo Launcher HD which I like very much so far. I have used ADB and Go Launcher on other devices in the past, but I feel like the Holo Jellybean is a perfect match for this setup. No crashes at all yet, and the interface feels smooth and clean. The basic version is free in the market.

Failed attempt to update

It took me a bit of searching but i found your thread and now i know why my phone doesnt work. I tried to update my phone last week and now all i get is the emergency reboot screen which doesnt work on the phone or with samsung kies, my phone is/was rooted so i am pretty sure thats part of the problem. do you know how to fix this so i can use my phone again? Thank you for any help you may be able to give.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bakageta:
Being rooted didn't cause me any problems when flashing the ICS leak... Can you boot into download mode by turning the phone off, and holding Volume Up + Power? If so, you should be able to get things working again just by reflashing the ICS leak (or using Odin to flash one of the older stock roms).
[Samsung Captivate Glide] kmkrreeves1:
It's here (and you do have to use kies)
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Dante1990:
Finally ics 4.0 for by beast glide !!!

The update os finally out guys and was officially out on 6th september !! The most important thing while updating is it need "SAMSUNG KIES" and this update will not be over the air !!! :good:

ICS update for samsung captivate glide

Is there anyway to get the slide out keyboard to have it's backlight back after upgrading to the icecream sandwich operating system? Right after I did the update I discovered my backlight was gone. Is there a patch for this? This is absolutely ridiculous. If you have a slide out keyboard you have to have the backlight!!! I am really upset about it. Plus I do experience a black screen sometimes too. What to do????? Please advise.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] Aquethys:
Read. XDA isn't here to serve you. There are fixes in this forum. Nobody spoon feeds.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] EaglesIII:
What could someone do if we have already done exactly what we should not have? Is there any fixes?
[Samsung Captivate Glide] oldnoob:
I did something similar and got stuck at the Samsung logo. No recovery or anything just the logo or download mode, and the available Odin tar files wouldn't solve the problem.

Got the phone back by re-installing through Kies. Make sure you start with a full battery, it takes a while. Pull the battery and write down the model (SGH-I927) and serial numbers. Put the phone in download mode, run Kies and in the "Tools" menu select "Firmware Upgrade and Initialization". It will ask you for the phone model number, then on the next screen it will ask you for the serial number. Follow the prompts and it re-flashes everything to latest stock. You will loose all your data, it re-formats the internal SD. Don't know about the external since I pulled it before I flashed. Hope it works for you like it worked for me.
[Samsung Captivate Glide] bornmw:
Is this one different from the ICS on sammobile from August?

Will it get to sammobile any time soon?

Is rooting done the same way as with the one from August?

Thanks
