[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
It comes down to the devise being so expensive, @ $600+ there isnt a lot of poeple that may have it and i am sure the ones that have it are not devs, hense not thst much dev at the moment. Regarless i am happy with stock right now and just wondering what ICS has in store for us.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] lucid:
I'm the guy who posted that I use my Tab 7.7 as a phone.

Yes I really use it as a phone, actually it IS a phone. OMG...

Still fits the inside pocket of any jacket of any costume I wear to work.

You would never guess I'm packing that much screensize...in my jacket.

And, there are things called bluetooth headsets which makes using our PHONE

as a PHONE even easier. I wish I had an IQ of 69 that would make my world a lot easier.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] adinis78:
Yep i have used it as a phone up to my ear a few times :D, havent gotten any looks yet. :D But i also use bluetooth a lot. I have been asked many, many, many times if it is an ipad and you have to see the look in their face when i say not. :D
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] aletheus:
In the US here, i more often get asked if it's a kindle fire. I can't help but smile, and just say 'no, not quite'... to myself i'm like, if you only knew.... i personally think these things are worth every penny.

The indefinite microcosm becomes the indefinite macrocosm in a definite manner and by definite means...and vice versa.

I got a question.

the Ice Cream Sandwich is out in australia?

I got the galaxy tab 7 7 [p6800] 3g,wifi
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] mgleed:
Those of us with a Verizon Tab have the pleasure to have to wait for Samsung and Verizon for an ICS update. It may be a while longer.

Sent from Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7 4G
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] wintermute000:
Just flash the current release via desktop odin or mobile odin (root required for mobile odin), works fine with any region tab confirmed.

make sure you have the p6800 not p6810.

note I don't think p6800 was ever released in aus so you likely have whatever version is the country you bought it from so if you want to wait for official its their schedule not australia.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] carlo67:
ok I will do it with desktop odin

where I can download ics for p6800 with 3g\wifi
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] wintermute000:
You are going to have to work this one out for yourself. Its not hard, its all over this forum, google.... :rolleyes:

That's exactly how I did it.. successful!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] carlo67:
ok, thanks.

question, is it rooted or not?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] golden422:
I've used GB and ICS on the Xoom and a variety of other Android/HW combinations, including Galaxy Nexus/ICS.

To me, ICS is a clear improvement in performance and usability over previous versions.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rhester72:
Again, if you're comparing to GB, no doubt...HC, not so much (in my experience).

Rodney
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
maybe so, but GB for my S2 was pretty good, fast and stable, and now on ICS it's even better.

I have seen videos of the new galaxy tab 2 and the ICS on that is much faster and more responsive than the HC on the current tabs. Who knows when those new tabs are going to arrive though, were supposed to ship in march for the uK, did that happen?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] globiboulga:
Hmmm... The difference on my Transformer between HC and ICS is significant. All lags and stuttering are gone. The tablet is a pleasure to use now. That's the level of performance I would have expected the 7.7 to have to start with...

Eagerly waiting for it to come on the tab. Really,
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
Had a feeling something was up with ICS on the tablets

http://www.theverge.com/2012/4/4/2924362/samsung-galaxy-tab-2-series-delay-android-4-0

clearly if the new tabs don't have ICS working yet 100%, then the older tabs won't be receiving any updates anytime soon. I would guess either late april for ICS for the old tabs or even later may, even june.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] TonyBigs:
The Tab 2 models have been delayed in the UK for a month or so, supposedly, because of issues with TouchWiz and ICS. What does that mean? Probably Q2.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
Also the main selling point of the Tab2 is the ICS, if we get ICS before the tab2 is out on the market then no one would buy them. Also I believe there will be a huge performance boost with ICS. Anyone with a TF prime can certainly tell you that!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
True, but the tab 2 (7) is meant to be a cheaper alternative to the tab 7 plus and the 7.7, since it is supposed to be the cheapest galaxy tab.

I'd gladly test the firmware for sammie, but I just hope they are not just focusing on the new tablets
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] prinzhernan:
Valid point but may I point out the fact that they already have your money. :-)

Bringing out a speedy update will not increase revenues drastically for future buyers. Also, given their history they don't really do after sales support well. :-(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
Actually, going from 3.2 to 4.0 on my Galaxy 10.1 made a huge difference. It was almost iPad smooth (except there would be a brief screen blank when you rotated).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
Unfortunately true they do have my money, this is why I opted for the cheaper wifi version. I am curious if Samsung will introduce any successor to the 7.7 at IFA 2012.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
Dudes, the Galaxy Note for AT&T just got an ICS leak (that works fine). I don't think it will be too much longer before the 7.7 gets it. Until then, enjoy some games, videos, and reading material and don't fret about having the most bling interface.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Paten:
Should we start a pool for guessing when it will be released?

I'm going to predict that Samsung will release ICS for the 7.7 at the end of Q3, right before Jellybean comes out. I also predict there will be no upgrade to Jellybean made for the 7.7.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
I am not sure any leaked At&t roms for the 7.7 will work on my tab, nor would I want to install any at&t roms, I'd prefer sammie's update for europe.

as for when ICS will arrive, I say early may, I just hope I am wrong and it is earlier. (ha all this when will ics arrive talk is akin to beating a dead horse :P)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
I'm not talking about AT&T ROMs for the 7.7. There won't be any, because AT&T doesn't sell it. What I mean is that ICS leaks for Samsung devices are trickling out now, so it probably won't be long before we see one for the 7.7.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
Sorry I meant verizon, since they have the LTE 7.7. my bad
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Neogrin:
Considering that the Galaxy Tab 2 (7 and 10 inch) have been delayed ( http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/04/galaxy-tab-2-delay/ ), I expect the 7.7 ICS update to be delayed as well.

The galaxy Tab 2 (7 inch) is inferior to the 7.7 (imho). The only thing it has going for it is it will be released with ICS out of the box. Samsung is not going to sabotage sales of the Galaxy Tab 2 by giving the 7.7 the only advantage the Galaxy Tab 2 has (i.e. ICS).

Companies are strange that way. They want their shiny new product to sell over their 'old news' products. Even if an old product gave higher profit margins (I'm not saying the 7.7 has higher profit margins, just that even if it did, it wouldn't matter.) They want the Galaxy Tab 2 to sell, and as such, the 7.7 won't get ICS till after (probably a month after) the Galaxy Tab 2 launches.

This is just my opinion. I

hope

ICS for 7.7 comes out before the GT2, but I believe it is unlikely.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] quigley0:
tab2 will be cheaper, right? Different resolution, different price point, different target audience maybe? Maybe Quigley is overly optimistic?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] prinzhernan:
I think the latter. :-)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
I really hope its arrives before the tab 2 goes on sale since HC is slowing pissing me off. Btw here is a vid of the 10.1 note with ICS and it looks pretty quick.

http://blog.gsmarena.com/samsung-ga...s-s-pen-work-together-in-front-of-our-camera/

also anyone want to recommend me any good free launcher for the time being befor ICS arrives. thanks

I would like to know when ics update for galaxy tab 7.7 p8600 ? [australia]

Honeycomb is pretty crappy really.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gam3r 4 Life:
I watched a review today of the Verizon version and they said that Samsung said ICS was on the way, but gave no date. So at least they havent forgotten about us with all the new Tabs coming out.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] calinormy:
ISC for TAB(S)

the GT-P3110 got already ICS:	P3110XXALCD	Android 4.0.3	2012 March	P3110OXXALC7	Romania (Cosmote) (source - sammobile.com) and it's a kies version . So it could be sooner as we expected? Hope so....
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gaugerer:
The ICS delay for the Note is almost certainly because of the S-Pen. The S-Pen adds a whole new dimension to smart phones and Samsung is working hard to provide suitable applications for it and it is well worth the extra wait.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] sladeywadey:
Am I the only one on here who doesn't care about ICS? I have ICS on another android tablet and I can't see what the fuss is about.

My 7.7 is fine for me the way it is. The lack of ICS isn't stopping me from using it at all.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gaugerer:
I am also pretty happy with Honeycomb on the 7.7. However, I am using the Dolphin browser because it is much better than the stock browser. So I am looking forward to ICS with it's Chrome browser which I hope is as good as Dolphin.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] buzzmcfly:
Got adw ex launcher and it helped alot... I'm just tired of waiting for ICS; remember that Samsung has a bad record regarding this things
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
Problem is, once the tabs 2 go on sale, there is nothing stopping samsung from stopping any ICS update to the tabs, claiming some problem. But the older tabs have almost similar hardware so that shouldn't be the issue.

The 7.7 is unique though, since neither the tab 2 (7) or (10.1) clash with it.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] squarooticus:
The 7.7 with the AMOLED display is their flagship tablet. It certainly is by price! ICS for this thing should be a top priority: that it has not already been released speaks of prioritization problems at Samsung that will impact future purchases by customers who expected a better level of service for the price paid for this thing.

FWIW, I love mine and use it every day. But IMO it's crippled with Honeycomb. E.g., the unstable scrolling (no hysteresis on horizontal movement, so scrolling vertically on web pages causes the window to shake left/right), a problem solved long ago on ICS but still plaguing this tablet. Unacceptably poor software for a piece of hardware this nice.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] maysider:
definitely .....next time Im buying Nexus tablet...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
My guess would be 2-3 months AFTER the Tab2 sells.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] coltsmild:
If you do a search, there's a workaround by using an editor and rooting your tablet posted by some users.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] palexr:
That's two of us :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
both pre-production galaxy tab 2's have much better performance over the HC versions, and their processors in the pre-prod models are not that much faster than the one in the 7.7, perhaps even slower graphics wise.

also saw a video of an acer iconia 510 in a video and the performance of ICS was stellar.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] hammer of thor:
you should use go launcher HD... it is made specifically for tablets and is quite fast... a lot faster than other launchers i have tried...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] 九千.:
I second hammer of thor. On top of the speed, GO Launcher HD's memory footprint is small, always left around 400-430MB free memory behind (shown in Taskiller), if you aren't running too many background services.

The downside is that you can't use those widget and theme designed for EX, but the default is good enough.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gam3r 4 Life:
I just hope that with ICS I can go back to using the stock launcher. Because the lag in touchwiz is the only thing that bothers me about my 7.7. So I am hoping that with the ICS version of touchwiz all lag is gone. In the meantime Ill just keep using my customized Go Launcher HD.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
Yes, but when will Key Lime Pie be released for the 7.7?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] heliosue:
Hong Kong 6810 = ICS update question

At the risk of showing how truly ignorant I am, I'm hoping that someone knows the answer to my question about ICS updates. I live in the U.S. but purchased my Galaxy 7.7 (6810) from Hong Kong. I'm trying to figure out when and how I will receive ICS updates when the time comes. Will my tab be considered as part of an Asian region OTA update, or a U.S.OTA update, even though wifi only hasn't been released in the U.S.? Maybe owners in my situation will have to manually update?

What do you think? Thanks.

Sue
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gam3r 4 Life:
Well it looks like some 7.7 owners will be getting ICS. But not all of us. According to this page verizon 7.7 owners will get it, but it doesnt mention us that have the wifi version. Time will tell.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] miiike:
I believe that page is only talking about devices released in the US. Since the 7.7 WiFi isn't sold in the states it's not going to be listed. But why wouldn't you think it would get it if the VZ version is getting it?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
Who knows for sure, but it probably will be OTA like the previous update to the 6800, and that didn't care where you were as long as you had internet access.

Kies may be another option.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gam3r 4 Life:
I hope its not just VZ, but even if it was our fine devs here could port it to the 6810 easily.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
It is not just verizon as mentioned this is only for US devices.

Samsung has already specified the 7.7 to receive the ICS upgrade a while back this year, perhaps even in 2011, december.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] lousyfer:
Samsung - so much frustration

Not wanting a reply, just venting my frustration with Samsung.

Give me the ICS update for my Galaxy 7.7

Fix the screen font issue

How hard can it be really, put a team of developers onto it and wammo its fixed, everytime i see a new hardware device being released from Samsung - it makes me angry. After market Customer service sucks.

Its coming....its coming....its coming, how annoying, just release it !
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] burhanistan:
If this makes you upset then I suggest you direct your frustrations to Samsung's Twitter and Facebook pages rather than just venting here.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] maysider:
yes, write it to Samsung.....more complaints=better support (hopefully)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] amilio:
I asked the technical support of my country on the update of ics, I say the TAB 7.7 does not receive ICS.

:confused::confused::confused::confused:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
wow this would severely suck. Samsung said it was part of the ICS upgrade schedule along with the other tabs, so I hope this is false.

I was either going to get a sony tablet S or the 7.7 and of course bought the 7.7 and today the tablet S received the ICS update. :( Seriously I hope samsung releases and update soon.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] EarlZ:
Updates should come after the Tab 2 starts to sell, its the only main selling point on the Tab2 despite now having a new processor.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] maysider:

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
Even though the tablet S runs much more smoothly than the 7.7, I do hope the update to ICS on the 7.7 makes it just as smooth as the update on the tablet s as can be seen here

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rU-67U4Oi6Y&feature=g-all-u
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] chrisrotolo:
Both the P6200 and P6800 should definetly receive the ICe update, this is total BS and pure laziness on their part. If a few devs here had all sources the damn thing would be built in a week. Maybe they're confused how to TouchWiz ICS and make it junk.

Anyways, lets try to support the CM9 devs as much as possible. Thats where the real ICS is at!

I can see it now, stock Samsung touchwiz 4.0.3 vs. CM9 = 2 total different operating systems
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Fking1:
Do we have any custom ROMs based on ICS4 that are out of alpha/beta and work ok on the tab?

Im tired of waiting for the official update, and since google switched to google play even the market doesn't work anymore

Trust me Amilio, at least in our countries, Technical/Customer (un)Support knows nothing about nothing, in what concerns to future products/implementations.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Jaevlar:
When asking the Swedish support they only direct me to their Facebook page. "Galaxy Tab 7.7 - No information" regarding the ICS relase date. :(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] haovh_85:
I see ICS on Galaxy Tab 2. It is very good.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] TonyBigs:
Indeed it is. The Tab 2 is very responsive. Let's hope that Samsung keeps their word.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gam3r 4 Life:
Its so much faster, very little lag at all. Theres a few minor things Im getting used to going between my HC 7.7, and my ICS Gtab 2. And to me the perfect OS would be a mix of both of them. But overall I like iCS much better. Looking forward to it on my 7.7 :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rednud:
Here is the Facebook chart on the updates Tab 7.7 Will get ics but no date when.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
when exiting the apps or the browser, or any application for that matter how fast is it? because on HC on the 7.7 it is laggy and takes sometimes 2-3 seconds before the desktop appears.

would be nice if samsung released the update at the may 3rd event.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gam3r 4 Life:
No lag leaving browsers, but I did notice that some videos that worked fine using Dolphin and skyfire on my 7.7 wouldnt load on the 2 7.0. Since then Ive uninstalled all after market browsers, and gone to using the stock browsers on both my tabs. They load all videos like they should.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
I only use the stock browser, even on my galaxy s2 as well, it is quite fast on the S2 and no issues with loading of videos.

have you ran any benchmarks on the new tab 2? and compared it to your 7.7?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Gam3r 4 Life:
As far as speed between the two theres really no comparison. The 7.7 is much faster, even with HC. Heres Quadrants and Antutu on both.

Quadrant

Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Total = 2791

Galaxy Tab 7.7 Total = 3193

Antutu

Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 Total = 5089

Galaxy Tab 7.7 Total = 6381

Once the updates arrives we'll know. So till end of june.
