[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xdapao3:
Despite what the trolls have been saying in this thread: NO official release date and NEVER been one. Just the official statement that the G.Tab 10.1" will be updated to ICS.

Various hints and common sense, anyway, lead us to believe that we are on the verge of finally getting it. Could be tomorrow, could be next month but it looks like we won't have to wait past August anyway.

I am far more interested to know if the G.Tab 10.1" will be officially updated to Jelly Beans (whenever that may be) as it seems JB is almost as big an improvement over ICS as ICS is over HC.

Maybe we will get the official statement from Samsung about which devices will be updated to JB at their event on the 15th of August. It seems the S3 and the S2 will both receive a relative "swift" JB update in August so I am hoping Samsung is stepping up its game in regards to updates.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] smalis:
Once we get the official ICS release, which will allow us to again utilize the camera, won't the dev's be able to give us a JB ROM with all hardware working - i.e., will we still be dependent upon Samsung?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xdapao3:
I am because I prefer (rooted and OC'ed) Samsung ROMs :o

If they won't update the G.Tab 10.1 to JB I will most probably flash CM10 once it's mature enough.

That's what I am doing with my Galaxy S BTW (I use it as a secondary phone for my foreign SIMs), I have used (rooted and OC'ed) stock ROMs for as long as possible but now that CM9 is mature enough, that Samsung has officially stated that it won't be updated to ICS and that there are even add-ons like TWICS which gives it TW and some of the Samsung apps, I have happily switched away from stock ROMs. This 2 year old smartphone is now amazingly good, a real pleasure to use.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BretonGirl:
Would a JB ROM be worth it? As I recall JellyBean doesn't support Flash. Does that concern anyone?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xdapao3:
It does concern me because lots of sites are still using Flash and lots will continue doing so since Flash is alive and pretty well on the PCs...

Anyway, you got it wrong. It's not that JB doesn't support Flash, it's that Adobe has once and for all dropped support for all mobile devices.

Flash apks can be installed and will work on JB but they won't be updated anymore.

I just hope that webmasters will finally start to seriously abandon Flash whenever possible (which is the vast majority of the cases) and that no-more-updated working Flash apks will tide me over until then...

Vodafone AU have ICS build in testing for the 10.1

http://blog.vodafone.com.au/blog/software-update-weekly-wrap-25072012/
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] whigga:
So close... So close now...

Where did the days go when these early release builds could be found on samfirmware so that the devs already could have a go at it?

I'm sure that as soon as there is a complete ICS build out it will only be a matter of days for us to flash the first custom made roms. Heck, probably JB will be just around the corner then!!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] msedek:
That's 10.1v and Pershoot got that kernel weeks ago lol

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Camazza:
Yep I confirm it's P7500, the 10.1v is not the only tablet released by Vodafone. I, for example, have a Vodafone-branded P7500... If carriers are testing the FW, what is Samsung waiting for before releasing the unbranded version?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xdapao3:
Exactly!

Usually the version the manufacturers send for "evaluation" (which really means for "butchering") by the carriers is the one the manufacturers release for the carrier-free (or "open" as Samsung says) devices so that should mean it's READY!

What the heck are they waiting for then and why no leaks this time??

Exciting news in any case, we are finally almost there...

...or are we? It's beginning to feel like waiting for the second coming of jesus! LMAO :laugh:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nisargrajpara:
What a joke!

LOL seriously..!! Samsung is taking the piss now !!

I spoke to UK customer services earlier today - but as expected they can only give out official information and there is nothing official on when will they air ICS for Tab 10.1 in the UK!

BTW - I also learnt from the guy Samsung will be doing the next Nexus tab!!! :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Camazza:
Sammobile used to leak much more firmwares in the past, now they simply offer Kies official updates... I feel it will be a matter of days now

don't be afraid mates. it's just a matter of time. Could be a week, maybe two but our beloved update is coming.

Hi everyone, im new here.. dont know a lot about the 'android world' but i will try absorve the max possible, and gradualy improve... and maybe one day can also help ..

Finally, the ics update going on in that month or not?

I'm sorry for mega hyper super bad english.. maybe this stay better too.. ;)

Welcome to the forum. :)

This was the last news:

http://www.sammobile.com/2012/07/17...tes-galaxy-tab-7-7-wifi/#.UAUqOSXLcWY.twitter

So it is still expected in August.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] spritable:
I was waiting 3 months for official ICS and seeing that there is no fixed date yet decided to flash 4.1.1 (CM10). Could not be more happy. Even if they release ICS anytime soon, it won't contain the Jelly Bean updates. So no turning back for me.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] L33t Masta:
So here we are, less than a week before the end of July and still we have no ICS. People like msedek, xdapao3, mickfitz and zuberio were making fun of me when I said it wouldn't be out until August. Lo and behold I was right because the information I got from Samsung was right. But no body wanted to listen. :cool: Damn it feels good to be right.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] sidle:
would have felt better if ICS was out already and JB was scheduled for august. I really hope it was worth the waiting
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] ganiman:
Is there a "No thanks" option on this forum? I didn't realize that gloating was part of ICS/JB discussion/speculation. If you want to gloat, do it somewhere else. No one cares.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Kingpoker:
Thank you !!

I was think in put this ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1787399) on my tab.. but I'm not confident enough to do the procedure .. I do not know how to do root among other things necessary to give the flash ..

I have done such an experiment with sucess on my Xperia x8, but here where I live, the products are very expensive(mainly the Galaxy Tab) and do not want to risk not knowing .. :(

So I guess wait for the OTA update is the better choice..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] UKseagull:
I followed this video to root my Tab, it is linked here on xda somewhere too.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xdapao3:
This post proves beyond any doubt that we were right all along and you are simply an idiot or a troll (and the latter doesn't necessarily exclude the former..).

ALL you have ever said was that "Samsung told me ICS would be out in August" OUTRIGHT IGNORING all of our MANY requests for the most basic of things: a SOURCE. Or, at the very least, some additional details. You haven't even replied something like "sorry, no link because was told so in an online chat on ______ by ______".

Also, NOBODY here has EVER said that it is going to come out within the month of July so you are gloating over sweet NOTHING.

And BTW, the very fact that you are gloating TODAY over something which MIGHT be "proved" (and only in your crazy "logic") NEXT WEEK tells us all there is to know about you... ;)

Yeah, "it feels good to be right".
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] josesxi:
Botton line is: it has taken WAY TOO FRIGGING LONG for this update, that's all.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Step666:
Keep it civil.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Dan_Aykroyd:
I just got a 10.1 today at work since I'll be developing on it for the users; mainly web based solutions. I was planning to use Chrome and since it needs ICS, I'll wait a while for it to be released. Amazing that after all this time the 10.1 doesn't have ICS!

I could update to CM or something, but since I'll need to flash > 100 of devices, I really need a stock ROM to count on, I can't go on supporting user problems with things not working in customs ROM.

Hopefully, ICS will release soon. This devices adds to my collection of I9000 and Note :) I'll be seeing you around this forum too now!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mickfitz:
Great work Nostradamus.

Your talents are wasted here on xda
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] msedek:
Never made fun out of you.. Just asked for sources as it's logical that when ever you provide information you gotta provide also the source or it could be just a lie... All the information I have provided here its always supported by a source..

I'm fact you were not right because 2 weeks ago 10.1v got updated to ICS and Pershoot got the kernel out of it.. And he managed to update hwa drivers and camera drivers.. He has no time atm to reverse engineer em and it does not worth it since the source its around the corner.. And the only thing left to get a perfect ICS its either the kernel source or the reverse engineering but the files are available already...

Sorry to disappoint you but you are not right oh and not to mention Vodafone has already the ics rom from Samsung and it's already under test.. So any day now either if Samsung releases 10.1v source or pershoot reverse engineer the camera drivers or Vodafone releases the rom we gonna have not a full working ICS but a full working jelly bean...

Cheer up... :thumbup:

That's not really true, that was a leaked test build. Officially it is still in testing by Vodafone.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] msedek:
Either leaked or not kernel its available weeks ago and the guy who got it.. Got it by OTA so how comes an OTA can be a leak?

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] droiding128:
He has been getting all builds early, he got it second hand and it looks like it may of been an old Vodafone or Samsung test device. Devices can be updated individually by IMEI number. My understanding is that's how they roll them out to carriers for testing.

My point is the source code won't come out until it is officially released.

EDIT: it's also worth noting that the 10.1v only has one software version for all devices worldwide.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Not really. Clearly, Samsung doesn't want it to have ICS. Their first timeline was Q1 but that's when the G-Tab 2's were supposed to launch earlier. It's simply a play on planned obsolesce. You could have had ICS on a Samsung tablet months ago. All you needed to do was go out and buy a G-Tab 2. Does anyone think it really takes Samsung nine months to develop an ICS update? The SGS3 was conceived and launched in less time. My only hope is that it's not further delayed to give the Note 10.1 some time on the market (assuming it launches with ICS and not JB).
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] L33t Masta:
You guys sure did make fun of me and my user name. I guess I can come clean now. I got a memo at work explaining how Samsung had pushed back the update for the P7500 (The Galaxy Tab 10.1 for anyone that knows model numbers) until August. I just wanted to see how receptive this community is to information. And apparently it's a free-for-all if you can't (or won't) cite a source for the info.

I am, in fact correct, and will be unless that update comes out in the next 5 days. Which it won't. Because I am literally looking at the memo saying Samsung has pushed back the ICS update for a large number of phones and tablets sold in Canada/US.

Just saying. Next time don't be so quick to call someone a liar. It's the last time I share any official information on this forum. :good:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] msedek:
Pershoot already said 10.1v kernel works for p7100 obviously, p7500 and p7510 (hwa/camera) and those covers most of the 10.1 tabs might as well works for tmob tabs and not sure about lte versions... And if they works for 10.1 also works for 8.9 tabs.. Don't know Wich other devices world wide exist

My response from Samsung's Presidential office:

Mr. Martin, thanks for writing to the Office of the CEO. Here is the information that I have received in response to your email.

We are expecting ICS/4.0 to be released for the original 10” tablet by the end of summer.

Thanks Grace

My OG Email:

From:

Sent: Wednesday, July 25, 2012 3:37 AM

To: President

Subject: Where are the updates?

Dear Sir,

Where is the update for the Galaxy Tab 10.1??? Android 4.0 was released nine months ago and the Xoom by Motorola is already on 4.1. Two operating systems ahead of Samsung’s last flagship tablet!

We still have not received Ice Cream Sandwich. I am not expecting Jelly Bean now ever considering your track record. This is ridiculous. Please release the drivers to the community or give us an update as to when we can expect an OTA for the Wi-Fi Model.

Also, you should support the product for the same length as your competitors and follow up with the 4.1 update as well. I recently bought the Galaxy S III against my better judgment and I hope the support experience is far better.

Thank you,

I used this email addy to contact them: president@sta.samsung.com

And yes, before any of you Mofos say it, I like to complain. :p
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] PFC Hudson:
Nice of them to really look into the matter for you and give you a personalised, full and informative reply(!) :rolleyes:

Not even an apology for the update taking so long

I love Samsung products to bits but their treatment of the Tabs has been awful
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] nisargrajpara:
Bitten by Apple?

We surely cannot forget Apple in this whole malarkey and its weeping to the big brother! Something lurking underneath our tab screens perhaps :rolleyes: or just me being paranoid lol.. ?

Samsung could have surely released the drivers - there can be no excuse for that !!

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] chinasky71:
If this response by samsung is true, and i don't have nothing to think it's not, pershoot should reconsider working at the reverse engineriing of the camera, so we can have long time before this update
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] mcmb03:
it'll happen when it happens
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] msedek:
the fking reason of why we don't have ics from Samsung yet... who cares about a damn spen and our tab performs so damn good with ics/JB that no Gtab 10.1 owner would get a new tab... tab market its limited and heck the only thing that keeps me still with a Samsung tab its cyanogenmod, they think we are stupid enough to go running into a store and buy this "new tab" wich in my opinion its the same tab2 with spen... an epic fail ugly as hell.. they delayed ics for tab2 sales were ****.. did it again for this piece of crap... sales will be **** again.. release ics for p7500/510 already fkers

I was thinking earlier... We blame nvidia/lg/samsung/htc/etc of the fragmentation and slow upgrades...

But I really think Google is the real problem here.. They change the way to access or handle drivers in every single version..

Google can and must find the way to prevent this.. I mean keep that part of Android standart.. Like Linux does.. Linux drivers are the same since ages...

So it does not matter if Samsung/htc/lg/etc last centuries in deliver an update.. Since de drivers and the way to access are the same.. Any developer could just drop the universal kernel in the top of the new aosp code released plus their personal features/fixes and that's it... Screw OEMS.. That way Google is gonna really support open source and development.. And every single person will be free of choices.. They could get a new phone and get the latest oem crap or keep his old phone with the latest software... Pretty fair..

And most important Noone gets annoyed at oems because you can always have a fully functional device with just few days of delay between the aosp release and the port..
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] madcow49:
To compare Linux and Android is just wrong, as is to compare iOS and Android.

For the positive sides on Android there have to be some negative ones like fragmentation and update policies.

The big phone manufacturers need a system that allows a diverse variety of phones when there all on the same software, thats how it works in the computer market and in the phone market as well.

Try to buy a notebook with Linux on it an with full support, try to buy a device with iOS on it but without to pay the steep prices that Apple is asking for...hard to do.

It would be better to compare Windows and Android - try to get updates for your 2 year old notebook...see!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] stubborn_d0nkey:
I think manufacturers should also release a google experience, completely open, version of their devices (at least for some), perhaps solely by online order or maybe in stores out of contract as well. That way they can satisfy people who don't care for their modifications either by such people buying such devices or by releasing faster updates for such devices so that whose who bought devices through subsidies can also get upgrades faster.

Maybe should is not the best word, its probably just something I'm hoping for, who knows how good it would be for manufacturers if they release an update for some of their customers (much) faster than for others. I hope at least google does it with motorola if they don't completely go the google experience way.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] msedek:
Windows and Linux are kings with supporting harward backwards... I can run windows 7 in a year 2000 laptop pc if the graphic card has at least pixel shader windows will even run with aero if not with windows xp driver will works with hwa without aero not a big deal ... But everything else will get self configured with embedded windows drivers... Same applies for Linux

I don't see fragmentation in pc's world.. And you won't see people asking for any updates to hp/Acer /compaq/lenovo/Sony/etc.. If by the time a new windows releases your pc/laptop its still good you just go to Microsoft website and buy a license for it and that's it.. Or in the case of Linux jut download the new release from Linux website...

A pc/laptop with an ancient pentium 4 ht, 1gb ram and at least a gforce 4 gpu will run windows 7 as smooth as any up to date pc and only Google its able to get android to works that way

lets face it, we have all been beta testing android for Google, I've been using android since Motorola milestone with android 2.0 (and many other handsets and now GTab) and its been the same story ever since, people begging/threatening/crying over updates, and when I look back at any android version before ICS I realise there were betas at best (problems with stability/performance or lack of features) and should have never been released to public, so yea, good on Google using us as free beta tester.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] msedek:
Lmao evil Google.. World Wide beta testers in massive proportions.. As 55% of mobile phones in the world runs android xD

Well I think worth the sacrifice in the way that android its killing iOS fast Hahaha

With jelly bean we are getting to a point of stability... I think next android releases gonna be polishing what they already have and no this big changes.. If you compare froyo with jelly bean.. It's like comparing windows 95 with windows 7.. So yeah geniusly Google managed to speed up Years of development and testing making us beta testers.. But at the end I'm happy with it

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] msedek:
Well now a days smart phones are what most people have.. And when that happens the phrase mobile phone (referencing smart phones) becomes the standart.. If you count 400 millions android phones being that the 59% of the smart phone market being the universe 678 millions phones (278 millions shared between apple/black berry/windows mobile) what's the % left for dumb phones? So yeah when I say MOBILE PHONES it indeed implies smart phones as it's the MOST phones in the whole world...

That said means that my original statement its indeed true and there's no spot for dumb phones anymore
