Just go to samsung india site and check how many people are asking for the updates.. they want it and cant hold now.. so, being sitting quite and following policy of that company which is being launching new phone every month and forgetting last phone which need to b updated. Now its confirmed by a social site that SGII is getting JB soon with SGIII.. so no wonder if SGR willnt b getting ICS in 2nd week of august, coz samsung highest paid phone getting JB.. But I m one from those, who is keep on trying until we will not get justice.. if they are deleting the post from wall then its ok, bt sitting quite is not confirming that we will get the update.:mad:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
Yup, let gether our team coz end is near:p

Dont get m.kochan wrong...

but it seems to be a sensible answer.....i request you that donot show your anger for a period of 2 weeks atleast..

m sure....everybody here are eagerly waiting for the update..but theres no harm in waiting for more... is it ????
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
I m not at all in rage buddy, m kochan is like a bro.. :p.. i m lilbit frustate due to delay in update n continously changing the answers of samsung.. so we all are buddies..:D
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] :
My friend:

First of all you've got wrong information. Samsung hasn't confirmed JB for SGS2 yet, we're still waiting for ICS 4.0.4 update. SGS3 is gonna get JB by the end of the year (according to official sources, not last sammobile's article). For SGS2 estimated (hypothetical) time of such update is within six months.

Secondly, this is not Samsung India and they are not regional offices that are responsible for creating a FW. They're just sale and service representatives and usually don't know more about updates than you do. (Sometimes i think they know only this what guys from Seoul officially announced in press release.)

I wrote you 3 times that I am aware of the situation, that I understand SGR users' frustration and I strongly dislike Samsung update policy which you seemed completely ignore and just keep repeating the same argument: how much frustrated you are. No offense and I don't want to sound offensive but I don't think any further discussion is either desired or possible here. I've already expressed my point of view for such "fighting tactic", explained why I do consider them shortsighted...and have nothing more to add. EOT
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vrajan:
Chill down guys :) We may need to save all our energy to fight with Sammy more from August+ :D

Just for curiosity sake, a member in an angeeks forum claiming (speculating :D) that he has received an ICS upgrade push today.

Don't blast me for posting this. It is strictly for time pass :p who knows it could be true :p

samsung - very bad, Wave 3 has got ICS (think its ported but yet its ICS man), just read it now.

Galaxy S2,S3, Note , getting Jelly Bean Update by end of August

source; http://www.phonearena.com/news/Jell...-Galaxy-S-II-could-rollout-next-month_id32526

anyway, i will enjoy Jelly bean in my bother's Note :p

but i strongly believe than SGR will get ICS update by next month, as they had said earlier, even samsung india is telling VERY SOON, so we will get it, and also SGR meets all the requirements, its better n better than those neo v, neo, arc etc etc

but the thing is we have to wait n wait, we might suddenly, who knows ???
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] :
Dude, how can Wave 3 get ICS officially if it's a Bada platform. And in the link you gave...there are just speculations (based on last sammobile's twitt). I respect phonearena but any relevant information is yet to be confirmed. Let's wait for the officials :)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] gitanshu:
Its not official ics and AFAIK it will never be. It has been ported. U know nokia n9 also got ics port :rolleyes:

ICS = I SEE ASS :P Lol
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] gitanshu:
Does it come on sammobile as soon as it comes on kies? Anyone checked kies?

Also if I flash indian cache.img (indian phone but now on neorom), kies will show me updates if available?

Hey guys, i got a new update on ICS;

I created a fake FB profile and asked various Samsung pages (like 8 or 9) abt ICS update,

and samsung singapore replied me;

here is the post;

@Divya, kindly bear with us, we will share more with the fans when the local testing for the software is going well

now please everybody, do not follow this chain..!!

be patient, its in the works and we will get it..

nice.....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vrajan:
Guess, they are taking the ICS builds of all other mobiles and trying to see if any of that works in SGR out of box. Damn, it is not booting :D LOL :D

Just kidding, I love Samsung and continue doing that till Aug end :p
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] gitanshu:
I flashed indian cache.img and then connected to kies. It says firmware upgrade over kies is not supported by gt-i9103. -_-

ZSLE5 , neo rom v2.1, kies 2.3, indian csc ddkh4

ICS = I SEE ASS :P Lol
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] mj.vikram:
it wont because Firmware and CSC are from different countries, so Kies don't know which country you belongs to....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] :
That's normal. All 3 parts must match each other....using other words: PDA,CSC,PHONE must come from one and the same FW-package. It's not enough with just regional sales code (CSC).
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] D™:
Close this conversation buddy.. dont want to stratch matter.. but i didnt mentions official samsung site for JB for SGII.. i will post the link 2morrow abt that one. :p

What's this about week 32? The info i've got, and i've asked two times (tre.se) and got the same answer, between week 30 and 31 (23 july - 5 august. That means we have to wait to at least 4-5 august to confirm this info was in-/correct.

ICS update

Here is the e-mail i received from Samsung India

Dear Mr. Dey,

Thank you for your email to Samsung and providing the opportunity to assist you.

We regret that we are still unable to provide any update for the Samsung Galaxy R. However, in this regard let us inform you, we have already released Android v4.0 (ice cream sandwich) update for Samsung Galaxy Note and Galaxy S II and we are in the process to provide suitable firmware updates for the Samsung Galaxy R as well. Any update in this regard will be conveyed to you through various means of communication.

We seek your patience and further solicit your co-operation for the same.

I appreciate that someone is still writing to samsung about the ICS udpate. but sad thing is that I already got same reply on 2nd June..& I m shocked that they are giving same reply again..but few lines got changed, they have added 2 mobiles sets (SGII & III) but let see may this time we get update.:fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] gitanshu:
I don't want to.

But looks like they are onlu testing some new keyboard or maybe using voice recognition for mails. Thats why they give us so much non promising text instead of simple reply like "galaxy r will get ics in coming weeks/month/quarter/watever.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] The-Droidster:
Guys please dont use this thread to take out your frustration on samsung or any one else for that matter. It is not going to speed up the release of ICS because samsung does not read these posts. Everybody else here is sailing in the same boat as you are. So stop making worthless posts repeating the same questions and statements again and again. Make a post only if you have some distinct information about the release dates or responses from samsung itself.

Dear sir,

Now I asked directly from Samsung India. As per Samsung, we need to have NVIDIA TEGRA 2 Hardware accelerator drivers which Galaxy R doesn't have. Please if you can provide that then we can have ICS update for our mobile.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Metatrone:
Kataria, I applaud your enthusiasm but you're going a lil bit overboard with this.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Kindly refrain from name calling on this thread.

We already know that Samsung has given us a time period (arnd 1st week of Aug) for when we can expect the update so kindly wait till then swearing against Nvidia / Samsung won't help.

It would be best if we could wait till 7th August before & if it's not out till then we could do what's necessary to get correct info on the update.

BTW I like how you guys are handling the situation here calmly which is not normally the case to most of the sub forums I've been to, so Kudos to you guys. :thumbup:

also i have one quest to all the dev, CAN YOU BORROW OTHER TEGRA 2 DRIVERS AND MAKE IT WORK FOR R ??

i knw that the architecture is different but can that be our last resort for ics ??
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] gitanshu:
I saw some talk on atrix forums that they arealso not getting official ics. Also ics seems to be incompatible with canada. Every phone that is denied ics, the announcement comes first from canada when all other countries say they'll give ics.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] gitanshu:
I dont know. half of atrix community believes they ll get it in this quarter.

Acc. To optimus 2x forums, Mimosa x and grand x are no use for us, Though I m not a dev, so I have no say in it.

[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
hmmm...i also read some one saying that its not like copy pasting it, would require some re-writing. although i believe nothing is better than something....
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
AFAIK all the new launch devices are based on Tegra T25 board with 1.2 ghz dual core CPU and 400mhz 8core GPU. and we have ventana (AP20H) board which is having 1ghz dual core CPU and 300mhz 8core GPU.

there is a huge difference between those boards so i dont think those sources will be usable for us anyhow.

my personal thinking is there is some problem with ventana board and thats y this updates are being denied or delayed.

nvidia does have released ICS code for harmony board (T20) and there are products in market which are running ICS with full H/W acceleration like moto xoom, sony tab etc. (if nvidia havent provided drivers than how they managed to get full H/W acceleration and how can samsung can say that gtab10.1 will surely get ICS) but still i havent seen any device running on ventana board having official ICS build. atrix and lg2x are already being denied by their manufacturers. there is problem with this board for sure.

btw as peeps said that its a matter of fraud, we can lodge complaint against nvidia or OEMs but that will be loss of money and time i guess.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] vipul12389mehta:
So in that case, as promised by samsung they should atleast release the drivers for us.....the devs here will definately do a spectacular job...

i have 100% faith in the devs rather than the OEMs
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] 'cooleagle':
Kindly check & recheck the info before you post guys. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Zeljko1234:
That's exactly what they wish to convince users to believe and give the reason to buy a new device. If the instruction set is the same then drivers is very similar. A lot of applications already use hardware acceleration, even GB. Google change APIs and of course request new drivers but developers reverting changes back and then ICS/JB could work with old drivers.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
do u have any information about instruction set of tegra boards. can u kindly confirm that other board drivers like harmony will be usable for ventana board. (sorry i m not a dev so dont have much knowledge about those stuff)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Zeljko1234:
I'm talking about tegra chip (SoC). I did not say other drivers are usable, just my opinion about instruction set. Do you really think that nVidia change instruction set in different variation of the SoC? Maybe in new, but T20 and AP20H are introduced in the same time. Only difference is that T20 is for tablets and has some more controllers.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
as i said before i m not a dev and dont know much about those things.

but if the instructions are same than y our devs are not using drivers of products based on T20 SoC like moto xoom, sony tab which haves full H/W accelerated ICS. i doubt that there is some difference.

well if the instruction are same in that case the upcoming ICS update for gtab10.1 (based on harmony) will be very useful for SGR users if samsung is not providing update for SGR.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] Zeljko1234:
As I said, because T20 has some additional controllers and drivers expecting this hardware. Our devs can not use this drivers because of closed source. They can do some hacking but without source it's very hard.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] djluis48:
Atrix 4G is still scheduled to receive the ICS update. LG2x just canceled the update. I do agree that there seems to be something weird around this board.
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] xlm13x:
thanks for pointing it, i heard that moto denied to provide update for atrix as lg did with o2x (canadian variant, not global)
[Samsung Galaxy R i9103] djluis48:
Thanks God not yet. The only one confirmed is the US variant though. International Atrix is still in the planning stage.
