[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Panos_dm:
Yeah, that's exactly my point. One other thing Google could do (if we lived in a parallel, fictious universe), would be to force the manufacturers use stock android on their devices only and making touchwiz, timescape, sense etc optional. Imo, that is the main reason there are delays in the updating process and sometimes it is what prevents devices from updating at all. All the uis, although beautiful, make the android heavy and increase energy consumption dramatically. Plus the manufacturers have to spend time and resources into making each new version compatible with their ui.

I like my Samsung products but my TV experience with them was so horrible I will never buy anything from them again. They get design but they don't get customer satisfaction or loyalty. I'm getting my money's worth out of my gs2 and my tab but fighting their bloat and crappy firmware takes away from it. I wouldn't trade my tab for a iPad.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Just_Another_N00b:
Do not assume I have not tried to contact them... It really is like hitting a brick wall. They are very friendly, but certainly non-comittal, and not supplying any detailed info. I asked them whether or not ICS would be comning and when, but as most of us have noticed you get a pat on the shoulder and 'contact us if you have any more questions'.

I hope that someone from Samsung is at least perusing these fora, that is the best I can hope for.

OK, anyone got any thoughts on http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=27051326#post27051326 in which a user claims to have just received a new Galaxy Tab 10.1 (not Tab version 2) with ICS already installed. Can't quite see it myself, but he claims so.

It's possible, there were a few HP Touchpads that shipped with Froyo last year. I think in this case maybe the poster wasn't quite certain of which product he bought, or he bought a used 10.1 running a custom rom.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bertiespeed:
Just to ad some fuel to fire lol ...a chepo 99$ 7" tab from hipstreet I bought for step daughter comes with ics . Yet my 300$ tab awaits! Sorry I gota kick outa this :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Towle:
Hey for some of us this is a $500 tab awaiting ICS :p
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bertiespeed:
Ya I paid 1100$ for 2 in dec but only worth about 300$ each now :(
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xdapao3:
There always is somebody who gets it worse.. :)

I for one in early January paid € 599 (US $ 750 at today's exchange rate) for a no-carrier 16Gb 3G one but at least in Europe it comes with a full 2 year warranty plus I extended it to 5 years (courtesy to Media World AKA Media Markt, the giant European retailer) with a mere € 18.

And I plan to get my money's worth out of it: once it gets ICS it will be a pretty good tablet and even if it won't get future major updates I will always be able to use it for what I do with it now which is mainly browsing the web, watching Youtube and reading e-books and comics so I will keep it at least as a second tablet hoping that at some point down this 5 years it will break badly and I will get a more or less free replacement... LOL :p
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] danielsf:
I managed to get my tab 10.1 in early December for £220 brand new. It was like a one day Christmas offer. I was planning on buying a tablet, it was either the Samsung tab 10.1 or the archos 80 g9 1ghz tab for that price at the time. So I decided to pick it up their and then. The only problem was that the tablet was so slow and laggy in the shop, if I hadn't have known it had official cm9 support I would never have bought it :) I am still really happy with the price I paid for it. When in the shop, I looked up the model on amazon with my s2 and it was £400+, so I got one hell of a deal. It's still excellent price by today prices (£356 on amazon today) :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xdapao3:
€ 270, you lucky bugger!! :eek: please at least tell me it's the wi-fi only version! :p
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] danielsf:
lol, yeah it was the 16gb wifi only modal :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] t1mman:
Yeah, you can also get bluetooth on a brand new Ford Fiesta, wich I don't have in my Mk5 GLI, the GLI is still a better car in every way!

that cheap 99$ tab is still a cheap 99$ tab, even with ICS on it...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] slack04:
Well put. I like ICS too, but not more than I like the hardware its running on...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] oysteivi:
I bet that cheapo $99 tablet doesn't have a stupid customised value added UI like ICS on the galaxy tab will have, though.. ;-)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] SirBindy:
Well if it's an updated version of TouchWiz like the SIII has for ICS, that might not be a terrible thing. The newest versions is pretty neat.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bertiespeed:
No added UI just ics 4.0.3.. its accually not a bad little thing no good for me lacks a few features but perfect for my 14yo that's just going to break it in a month anyways. But it has no development and no play but slide me market and uses dolphin browser. Its quite fast and no lag I was surprised for a 99$ Walmart jobie :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] L33t Masta:
Why not just install the Google Play store or side load the apk for it?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] madcow49:
Please go back to topic an stop talking about some crappy tablet.

Readers come here for relevant information about the ics update and nothing else.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] t1mman:
IMHO, on 17 pages, there's about 5 posts max that is "relevant", the rest is speculation, whinning and non-sens...

I realy think a mod should start a topic for all "speculations and complains" about ICS, all put it in one place and start one that is only for real info.

Every other topics should be deleted or locked for good!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] GorillaPimp:
there are threads for spec and BS which is why everyone thought this would get locked and started talking about nonsense but the gods erased that and saw fit to let this live

I guess it really is providing info on Sammy's release statement so it's worthy.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] zooster:
How long should the delay take to consider ics update canceled? Without official statements should we consider it still committed if it won't be released let's say in next 10 months? I really don't think so...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xdapao3:
Easy: when everybody else is finished updating their devices!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] madcow49:
@zooster

Your comments are just so stupid, we all know your opinion already, so please go and play with some other kids.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] bertiespeed:
Once its is released everyone here will know believe me ..... and this thread will vanish from 30 new ''ICS has been released '' threads or the next 6 new ics info threads yet to be started. However i do agree with you but there is no real useful info yet anyways and everyone here knows this! If you follow at all it appears every month it gets bumped a month further according to carriers and thats far from official ( useful ) info ... so I think this thread is pretty much useless and null anyways.

And if you go back to page 3,4,5 and maybe more a mod is even off topic so what that tell you ? lol . So I think they think like me its a lost cause ... :D
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Just_Another_N00b:
Almost right. Methinks it will be 6 threads about whining on the (failing) upgrade process, the expectations not fulfilled and what is missing in the upgrade. The only thing required is full Samsung ICS to be the basis for wonderful new fully funtional ROMs.

Would it be a TASK16? CMx? Most of us are only waiting for the secondary result, not Samsung Stock ICS itself. If there would be a Camera-supporting ICS ROM right now, I would not even wait/complain on Samsung dragging its heels...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] zooster:
Ok, samsung stated officially that the update "should" be out within the Q2:

So the deadline is 31/08/2012. If there won't be any update for that day the official statement will be unheeded and we can consider official ics dropped and canceled, and anyway unuseful because too late.

It's obvious we cannot wait forever for an old update just to see if Samsung keeps its word even if late. Will you be happy to get official ics on december if there will be already out jellybean? I think we'll buy another tab, with better ppi, no rotation/scroll lag and especially no more Samsung.

This is a link Samsung posted on G+ this morning when they announced and posted the T-Mobile Galaxy S II ICS download link.

I think they are slowly getting things moving.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jeepnutz:
Okay, now everyone needs to leave a "very dissatisfied" comment on samsungs delay on the update on the above link.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] z31k:
Done and Done!!! :mad:
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] jeepnutz:
This is what we need to do. Hit Samsung on Facebook, Google+, and on their site via Samsung Nation. Make comments, negative ones. Complaining here does no good. Do you really think anyone from Samsung reads this forum or post?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] zooster:
Well, this is not an official forum, but do you really think that none in Samsung keeps an eye on this forum???

XDA is the best source for everything related to not iOS phone (thanks to god), and I bet that every single employee of Samsung knows of XDA. Do not underestimate this forum man...
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] Just_Another_N00b:
iSheeples of the world, gather around!

+1

Done and Done... Shame I am not into facebook/twitter, don't like 'unsocial media', but otherwise I would have helped there in the negative sentiment-barrage...

Pfew, that took a load off. Shame that it does not really help that much, as big/huge companies just do as they please. But Samsung is really not the only one. Hardly.

So it seems we just need to behave as the companies expect and run around bleating... Just buying the newest product in addition to the current (outdated when you buy them) one.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] kta:
End of Q2 is 30/06/2012, no?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] guardian855:
From your first paragraph, too late for what exactly? Will my Galaxy Tab 10.1 stop working if it's not updated by 31/08/2012?

Second, there's a limit to how long we can wait? Do I have to keep my tablet powered off until it's updated or 31/08/2012? What if I want to use it before then, is that ok?

Some of you guys are getting a little ridiculous with the demands.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] xdapao3:
Of course it is.

Ignore the post, it's just the usual zooster mixing up dates, statements, "announcements", "commitments", "promises", "deadlines" etc :D

---------- Post added at 02:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 AM ----------

It's 30/06 not 31/08 and not a "deadline" anyway.

It's "... will continue rolling out ..." not "within".

It's Samsung CANADA.

Ah the old misreading, misinterpreting, misunderstanding, mystifying zooster... :rolleyes:

i cannot get a Root on my note and all Root App cannot used.

but in recovert mode already change to CWM 5.

How can i fix this problem

# before flash LPY i was come from Rocker 23 and Franco 10 kernal.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CastielChong:
just go and download any custom rom like rocket ICS v1, and flash it as stated in the custom ROM OP then you will get back your root access.

[Xperia Arc General] squalldua:
has any arc (not arc s) user tried this ?

no games huh? that's kinda problematic for me ^^
[Xperia Arc General] shantusingh:
Many are playable (arc s) games like angry birds, racing moto, ninjump, etc .

But many are not/or gives problems.. games like temple run, gravity project, etc .
[Xperia Arc General] justkiddinghere:
The main problem about ics i feel is home launcher keeps loading again n again any solution n ics very poor in gaming
[Xperia Arc General] merlinlightstrike:
Hi shantusingh,

Did u flashed ICS 4.0.3 or the leaked developer version 4.0.4. Btw, did u u

locked your boot loader? I am quite curious to try

too..
[Xperia Arc General] squalldua:
i guess you're an arc s user. if it works on arc s, then it should also work on arc, right? ;)
[Xperia Arc General] daniel090588:
Hey people the games problem is not a Sony deal a friend of mine has a Galaxy Nexus with ICS vanilla 4.0.3 and he has the same gaming problems i think this is a ICS problem and i hope that they fix it with 4.0.4 i had problems with asphalt 6 dead space tintin and backstab all games licensed not cracked, also a have to say that modern combat 3 uno and NFS hot pursuit has no problem here they run very good on stock ICS on my arc s
[Xperia Arc General] Mr.Doc:
why would it work now :rolleyes:

just because y took the sd,sim and battery for a while

it does add up:confused:

for a matter of fact GB is so fine with me ive installed the home launcher of the xperia s and its pretty good i think it's better if Sony release a new official version of ICS before thinking of installing it again :)
[Xperia Arc General] shantusingh:
Good News

i am using only stock which means official sony android 4.0.3 ics that sony is presently giving, yes i had unlocked my bootloader then i locked it aswell when i had gingerbread, did it for other reasons not for ics :)

And yes its not sony's fault as the games not being playable...

But awesome!! news... i today at 7.15 am indian standard time, got a new update of temple run after that its running awesomely/flawlessly now,,,, so its modified for ics!!!

So its about time people are starting to make their games playable on sony xperia arc s with ics
[Xperia Arc General] shantusingh:
i never said games would definately work after taking out battery n stuff, did i?

i clearly mentioned my steps above only to make ics get calibrated well so it works fine as it still is working like a charm since i installed it n posted this thread ...

And weather you be on 4.0.4 or 4.0.3, games need to be updated for our xperia arc s that's the only thing which can make games playable which are not playable presently.

And its justified now that i being on 4.0.3 i just got temple run update and it now is playable like a charm, left right swipe, jump, slide all working perfectly fine !!

Cheers!!
[Xperia Arc General] shantusingh:
it should but i don't really know as i dont have arc i have arc s . But if u are not getting yet an official update of ics from sony for ur arc, then u better wait as if u get a loose ftf of ics and u flash it via flash tools, it might giv u data error in end which would not erase ur data and might impact badly on performance....

so if u get official update and then do my stuff as posted on 1st post... it should definately show improvement and games as told few are now being playable on ics .... its the games official who are now making games playable on our xperia arc s

i strongly believe even if a game is playable on a different phone for like a fake example say on samsung nexus with 4.0.3 and not on arc s with 4.0.3... then the games are strongly modified for seperate phones to be playable individually.

which means if u see game develepors also sometimes link phones that this game is playable on these n these phones, so i believe its alot of hard work that they do n develop that one game be playable for all the phones they mention or for totally all android phones in the world like angry birds.. so they do different scripting for each different phone models and modify scripting for all phones they build that game for, all over again when a different firmware/update comes for that particular phone .
[Xperia Arc General] MetaBolic0:
I install .42 to get root on my Arc S, then update from OTA to .62 and when i connect to PC the PCC pop up with ICS Generic.

Im from Portugal and my carrie doesn't provide any official ICS update.

The only problems i see so far (i only install yesterday) is the Go Locker that has the data text out of the screen and i see a lot of battery drain.

Do you think this will help this issues?

Thanks
[Xperia Arc General] shantusingh:
Go locker?? Can u elaborate??
[Xperia Arc General] MetaBolic0:
This is a problem from the app not from the ICS ;)

Anyway i made what you did, i wiped and reset all, repair the phone from PCC, then complete the sing in, restar phone, take SIM, SD and battery and wait, turn on the phone and root it and seams much more fluid and fast but i will give a feedback after try for few days.

The only problem is that i can´t charge the phone when is turned off. This happens with anyone else?

I turn off the phone, i connect the cable with charger to a wall socket and the SONY logo appear but then after a while the logo disappear and reappear again and keep doing this all time and never charge.

I have the phone ROOTED with CWM app recovery, USB Debbugin turn on this is normal!?:confused:
[Xperia Arc General] shantusingh:
i never faced that charging problem when phone being switched off or anything yet, mayb due to cwm or i dont know... but the easiest way to root ics is with Root Exploit OneClick . i uploaded the file for you here : http://www.4shared.com/zip/kx8Ezp1G/Root_Exploit_OneClick.html

Just you have to be in debuggin mode and check the unknown sources ... attach the phone to pc, run the 'run me' batch file. Phone will restart few 2-3 times and all will be sucessfull with root

also i have not installed cwm on ics yet and don't want to as for now ..... and few or many apps are not compatible for ics as they are not updated for ics by the developers, so its not ics's fault .

if u don't mind and if u havn't transfered ur data back in, just do it all again hardly would take 10-15 mins..... reset and repair via Sony PC Companion(when i repair, it updates instantly as it detects already downloaded update files from somewhere in pc) and then take out battery stuff, insert all back then power it on and then root with oneclick, then check the same...

And also remove junk apps if you want, the junk apps i removed from ics are:

AntHalService.apk

antradioservice.apk

antstatenotifer.apk

AppEnabler.apk

chinesetextinput.apk

com.qoowaa.act.apk

datatrafficswitch.apk

JapaneseIME.apk

letsgolf_ay.apk

officesuite.apk

PicoTts.apk

POBoxSknPink.apk

POBoxSknWood.apk

Protips.apk

SemcEmail.apk

SEMCSetupWizard.apk

Stk.apk

Talk.apk

Talkback.apk

trackid.apk (removed the old one n installed the new one from market to sd)

widgetanalogclock.apk

widgetdigitalclock.apk

widgetworldclock.apk

and also deleted apps from system/etc/product/applications(it will have the mcafee n 2-3 more etc apps)

if you want to remove junk apps from system, just move them to sd (i use root explorer in rw mode) in a folder named like "ics junk apps" restart your phone so apps get removed properly, then update the remaining sys apps via wi-fi or however

if you want any of the sys apps back later in system, just correct the permissions rw,r,r then move them to system in rw mode .

only telling you all this.. so u get the best out of it!

Cheers!!
[Xperia Arc General] MetaBolic0:
The ROOT mecanis-me that i use is the DooMLoRD_v1_Xperia-2011-ICS-ROOT-emu-busybox-su, the CWM is for i get the Recovery Menu, if you don´t use it how can you acess to the Recovery Menu?!

I already unistall all junk apps. But at night i will try that again and see if it works.

Thanks for your help
[Xperia Arc General] shantusingh:
well i have backed up my things on pc... so i just copy paste it. And my contacts, messages n logs i back them up using sms backup app, but nevermind .... well my suggestion is u can install cwm for your back-up, but try to root it my way ;) .. mayb ur shutdown and then be able to charge phone problem gets solved as simple as that

i dont use cwm as back up because i think if it backs up everything which was there before then that is logically wrong, like files that automatically gets created by phone like android data, something like those they might get overwritten on new updated files of ics which might go wrong... like being on fresh updated ics then backin up/recovering ur data, and the ics created files in sd or system being overwritten by backed up gingerbread files/apps w.e using cwm or i dont know, even its my myth i strive for perfection that "To make it new, have everything new"....

if i have updated my phone so i would let only the fresh files be there that is created by phone and then installing back my apps..... i have my back-up apps in root uninstaller, so i just install them back(i copy/paste root uninstaller folder filled with my apps from pc to phone)

then copy/pasting the videos,music n images from pc to phone and i am done ..... i don't mind if it takes longer .
[Xperia Arc General] MetaBolic0:

How about the video quality? When my arc s upgraded to 4.0.3 it had very laggy video recording - compare to former GB.

Awesome!
[HTC One X] ozaghloul:
Just got a One X and thankfully all the reported 'defects' don't seem to be there. However the screen colours are far too warm. The biggest problem is with flesh tones looking very reddish. Its best illustrated by taking a picture of my hand with the camera, which shows up very red indeed. However if I import the picture to my PC its acceptable. My screen is Acer which supposedly runs colder than Sharp and Sony, but thats not my case.

Should I exchange my unit? I have 48hours to return the phone with no questions asked. Its perfect otherwise and I heard that the warmness disappears over time. If true, how long does it take for the warmness to normalize. Also is there a software available now or in the near future that would solve this (rom, mod, etc.)?

PS> I'm still on 1.28.415.9 because I haven't received an update yet.
[HTC One X] ozaghloul:
I just tried using "Screen Adjuster" from the Play Store, but the results were horrible. I really need to know whether the warmness subsides overtime because otherwise I have a perfect unit and don't wanna gamble it away for a creaky, ripply, dead pixel unit.
[HTC One X] ozaghloul:
I passed by the store and compared my phone to the two display models and a sealed unit. All three had the excessive red hue warm colors as mine. When I say excessive I mean very excessive. Its best viewed with the Mirror application. It almost makes me look like I'm fluorescent pink :mad: Almost the color of this icon.

Someone please chime in. How red do you look in the Mirror app?
[HTC One X] ozaghloul:
I'm begging here, someone please acknowledge my existence and answer my simple question. Does the Mirror app make you look red/pink like your are badly sunburned?

SOMEONE PULLLLLEAHSE ANSWER :confused:
[HTC One X] DanRZ:
Hello, i just tried and have the same problem.

I didn't try outside on daylight ...

Looks like my skin is too vascularised ... :D
[HTC One X] ozaghloul:
Thanks so much for answering me. Vascularised is a great way of putting it. I can almost see the blood flowing through my capillaries. I hope this is just a software issue. Outside in daylight its much much better.
[HTC One X] DanRZ:
HTC should have added a light in front panel.

And after "vascularised" it has a litlle "drunk" effect.

After ZombieBooth, HTC just invented DrunkBooth ... :D
[HTC One X] ozaghloul:
I tested the front camera some more using Skype. It seems that there are two reasons for the red hue. The camera software is messed up, and so is the screen itself. When using Skype the image from the front camera looks very red on the phone, but it doesn't look as bad on the PC (although still red). This leads me to believe that the camera software is not calibrated, and the screen further compounds the problem. I'm hoping 1.29 update will help a bit. :(
