[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Dragonn90:
I asked samsung and no date for the wifi only, maybe end of July...

It's so difficult to erase the 3g menus?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] palexr:
Thanks Samsung! Couldn't have made it straightforward and easy for everyone....
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Nutsonfire:
Yes, it totally makes sense not to release both at the same time :rolleyes:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
End of July? O_o fail samsung if that is the case. ffs
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Dragonn90:
Samsung sucks ...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] lucid:
seriously ROFL MAO
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Dragonn90:
2 days after and nothing...

And sammobile doesn't answer to my questions
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] steveathome:
It is frustrating the wait. I'm following @SamFirmware on Twitter and check every hour. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] appelflap:
Would appreciate it if you make some noise on this forum when it finally arrives. :-)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] zsolti256:
probable because they are overflooded with these questions for EVEREY SINGLE DEVICE!

I wouldnt blame them, plus I dont think it will be a long time until youll have an update too!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] funkyblue04:
Samsung suck. I wish there was more AMOLED tablets or the Nexus 7 has an SD Slot.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] giotecno:
Totally agree with you guys, I ended up selling my 7.7 tab and pre ordered the nexus 7, I had enough of samsungs ICS promises and want the latest OS Jelly bean. I really loved the device, well built amazing screen and ooozzes quality but could not bear gingerbread any longer. Just shows great hardware doesnt make a great device, in my opinion. R.I.P Tab 7.7 I will miss you....
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] nudger:
On the bright side ...

We wifi only owners will hopefully end up with a polished ICS version after all the issues have been ironed out of the 3G release :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Shaady:
Cannot belive Samsung have done this, would love to know the reasoning behind not releasing both versions at the same time. Even now its not going to be the latest version of the OS!

I think my plan is to see how it runs on ICS, and if its much better keep it for a while, until Google bring out the next version of the Nexus.

Am well and truly fed up of having to wait this long for updates!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] knoxjon:
Are you serious?

I am as ticked as anybody else here, but if it had been the other way around - if ICS was ready for the 6810 but not the 6800 - then I wouldn't want to wait while they finished up on a different device. That would be even more maddening.

It ticks us off because we are so close, but there's no reason for them not to release as they are able. And it'd be arbitrary to wait, too. When would that end? All of the tabs are relatively similar, so maybe they should hold all updates until they are all ready?

It's insanely frustrating that we are waiting so long on this when we paid so much, but I am happy for the 6800 users that they don't have to wait any longer (except for JB).
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] zapzog:
I got it from sammobile.com.

Installed with Odin and working fine.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] junta_mpb:
Just installed earlier; I had to install via kies as i had the same problem with the ota. It took me two tries, but it installed with no further issues.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ryuhou:
hi guys new here

hows does stock ics compare to the locerra port speed/ battery wise

cheers
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] wkweksl:
Give desktop odin a go, I upgraded my 6800 to the austrian ics that way.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] levky:
i have the same issue as well. kies keeps being stuck at trying to download the file to tab, and via OTA, it keeps screwing up when it tries to reboot. seems like my CWM is somehow in the way of the update process or something. i guess it assumes the stock recovery when it tries to do the update? i am now downloading the file via sammobile and try to do it thru CWM.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] robinou:
New HK firmware from SamMobile installed with Mobile Odin Pro: :good:

Root: :good:

It works nice and it's pretty fast. :)

Now it's time to remove the Samsung craps :angel:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] linuxjacques:
How did you root? Mobile Odin Pro failed for me; it did not inject SuperSu (though it worked fine on my gtab7plus).

Stock recovery now requires signature verification, so the normal root.zip does not work.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] murmur70:
Thanks for the advice. After about 15 tries I got it to install through Kies. It was like a fresh install though and I had to redo my home screens. It is kind of a mixed bag. I like how snappy it is. Screen rotation is so fast. Scrolling is very smooth. I don't like the browser syncing my favorite from my Google account but that is just me. I also don't like the two volumes. One for media and one for ringer since this is not a phone for me.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] junta_mpb:
The update is worth it. Battery life has not changed any (admitedly, its only been a day) and the tab no longer lags when switching apps, rotating, unlocking or switching screens.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] linuxjacques:
This method worked for me:

Wifi problems

Is there a fix for this problem? I am having the same issues on my p6810.

Any help appreciated.

Kym
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] funkyblue04:
No issues here on 6810. I have the Australian Model with Austrian firmware.

Great battery life and no issues with wifi usage.

---------- Post added at 11:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:12 AM ----------

I did a full wipe and flashed with desktop odin. Rooted using the root.zip method.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] orrelljet:
No issues here either - Australian model with Hong Kong firmware. Been running it for months now.

I finally have the tablet I wanted when I bought it!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Shaady:
Yes I am serious.

Not sure what you are trying to say in your post that everyone on here doesn't know already?

I am happy that it is finally here for some people but I think we are both agreed that this wait is very frustrating!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] nitroglycerine33:
I sold my 7.7 last month, but I just purchased a new one. I couldn't stay away from this tablet. I should have it sometime next week. I will see about putting together an ICS TW build when I get it.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] steveathome:
Very cool! :good:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
Maybe it's just me, but I find Samsung's reasoning to be relatively obvious. It's the same reason carriers stagger their OTA rollouts. If there's something majorly wrong with the update, it will be isolated to a slect few devices; in this case, only GT-P6800s in the release region.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] funkyblue04:
Still nothing :(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] wsmlby:
I think i know why not they release both.

I have a 6810 and i have been waiting the ics update since i bought it.:crying:

i think the reason why they release the 3g+wifi rom but not the wifi-only rom is that the wifi module is currently not perfect. if the 6800s get the rom and found wifi not working , at least they got the 3g so they have some kind of connection.but if the wifi-only model flash the rom and found wifi errors, that's too bad.

maybe samsung just want to test the wifi on the 6800s and release a perfect rom to the 6810s when it is done.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] orrelljet:
Stupendously optimistic :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Dragonn90:
Lol, you think that samsung used Austrian's customer for testing? it's an official release on kies for them not a beta found by sammobile ;)

The only reason is : samsung sucks...

Ics is out since December and it's available for archos and asus users since March..
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] hudl:
Yep - there is no excuse for Samsung for this behaviour. I will take that situation into account next time I buy a new tablet. It's embarrassing to buy a new high-end/priced device from a world-company and being the last updated with ICS although there is no reason to be left out...

If Samsung would work with the community and release early unofficial "near-final" test versions for us tech addicted users (without warranty), everyone would profit from it as they would get response from us.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] appelflap:
Good point. If the update is causing WiFi problems on the 3g version they should definitely be cautious with the Wifi only version :-)

Anyway, the update is clearly not ready yet.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] choypaul:
i also have a wifi version only. still waiting for the ICS update. hope it arrives very soon. :crying:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] eug:
Maybe we should make this the P6810 Tab 7.7 Wifi ICS release thread.

If nobody posts anything here until the very moment ICS gets released, we can all subscribe to this topic and get an instant email notification when it happens.

That way we don't have to keep checking every waking moment. :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] steveathome:
I have opened a Twitter account with only https://twitter.com/SamFirmware so only Twitter notifications are from them on my phone. They will post it very soon after release. That stops me from checking here every half hour. ;)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] eug:
Won't you get a notification for every firmware for every phone that they release?

Having a look at their feed now, there have been 31 updates in the past day!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] steveathome:
Still easier checking the Samfirmware feed this way than checking XDA when I'm out. I can then ring the wife to download it for me especially with the slow downloads people been having. Just another way of keeping up. :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] stema84:
Now they released ICS for Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus.. We, with the p6810 still have to wait. I don't get it why they're released it for a different product earlier. Is it really that hard to release it? :(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Doctor Mick:
I think someone hit the nail on the head earlier. Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus has another method of internet access other than wi-fi so if wi-fi connection proves to be a problem you can still connect to the internet. With wifi only you could not.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] steveathome:
They haven't connected the idea of user experience versus sales. Though no doubt a 7.7 with a sim means carriers benefit and using a Samsung product = $ and happy customers. We will get there but am sure it will be later rather than sooner.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Dragonn90:
Samsung sucks again and again...

Now the 6200 is release, august maybe for us or never...

Last samsung tab for me
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] robotsoul:
ICS: What about "both versions" of P6810?

I'm a little worried that the "official release" of ICS for the 7.7 wifi will be made for the devices with the IR remote - And since that has special software in the build, perhaps not easy/possible to apply to my P6810 without IR. Really stupid that they all have the same model number :silly:

I bought mine from Expansys - import from HK I think. That might mean a build made for, say Austria, may not work on my tab - and I have to wait for the correct regional release.

Can anyone point me to a post with a list of regions with/without the mysterious IR port? All the US/Verizon models of P6800 (3G) have the IR port, apparently. My HK model does not. Otherwise I don't know.

Thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] steveathome:
After ICS arrives I am selling mine. Tablets overall get very poor support from the carriers and device makers. I am going to hold off buying again and wait to see what comes in Windows 8 tablets in the future. I have already ditched my Android phone for a Blackberry for the extra security. It frustrates me that this tablet is fast approaching one year old and if it wasn't for Noob rom I would have sold it sooner. The 7.7 is such a great device but so long on HC has made it difficult to function smoothly. :(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Doctor Mick:
Apart from pre-production models I don't think any exist. I believe Verizon branded P6800 models may have them but Samsung retail versions of the P6810 are all without IR. Which was annoying when it was one of the main reasons I bought one !
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] vobguy:
Well, at least I know what to expect with my GT-P6210. That is dang disappointing for you who are still waiting, and doesn't bode well for owners of the WiFi on the 7 plus like myself, or other tabs.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
Perhaps the wifi models don't sell that much as compared to the 3G models but I'm probably wrong.

Hopefullt it will be before august but DannyD on sammobile states that the bulk of the updates will be in august rather than july.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] steveathome:
You are right. That sucks. https://twitter.com/SamMobiles/status/222690579908263936
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Dragonn90:
Still nothing...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] retrorom:
When I saw the title of this threat I was thinking: YESSS finally! but that was a bit too early :crying:

Anyways, I can't wait for ICS to be released for my nice 7.7 tab

patience...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] NewMagic:
I have heard that the only reason updates within a family of Samsung products are deferred is to minimise load on the Samsung servers for downloads. We all know how slow downloads are from Samsung now. The P6810 ICS is most likely ready for all variants just queued up to get opened up for downloads along with all the other Samsung models waiting!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] steveathome:
If you follow https://twitter.com/SamFirmware you would see they never catch up. There is no break. Wifi variants are always long after in any of their product range. I doubt servers are the issue but rather they control the download speed which in itself causes issues. Agreed it would be queued up, but up to nearly two months after initial 3g+wifi release I do think this is ordinary on their part. I only believe Samsung favour carriers first and all the rest second. This is why consumers will turn to Google for tablets. Latest tech with updates. Makes more sense than always be an OS one, two or three behind. One thing I have learn't is user experience in the manufacturers or carriers eyes means sweet f@@k all. Could be a long wait. $ rules. :)

Sorry about the rant. :eek:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] vobguy:
I came to that conclusion myself. I do have to admit they are a pretty busy shop and everything seems to go out fairly orderly like clockwork. An amazing job of release management that I would be hard pressed to match single-handed.

But, IMO they don't seem to have enough development (or perhaps test) resources on the sustaining/maintenance side; probably because it doesn't show a profit like development for new hardware. Of course, that is probably going to lead me to never buy a samsung android product again, and I have 3 samsung TVs, I've had 5 Samsung phones, various other samsung devices, and now the tablet. The only way I would do so is if it does everything I need it to do without needing an OS or firmware upgrade.

Anyhow, I hope you guys get your upgrade soon, so then I can start anticipating my own :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] palexr:
Let's hope the CM9 mod will soon be up and fully running. Pretty sure that will happen before Samsung gets its finger out.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] funkyblue04:
Unfortunately we will be waiting for ICS to drop and for Samsung to release the ICS source code and drivers before CM9 is fully functional.

Lots more waiting to be had.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Rone1986:
Man this waiting is so frustrating.

My Xoom went from HC to ICS and now it's on JB, all thanks to keen, *unpaid* developers on XDA.

My Galaxy S II went from GB to ICS, again, all thanks to keen, *unpaid* developers on XDA.

Pull your finger out Samsung! >:-[

Guess it's okay though; I'll have my Nexus 7 before ICS drops on this bloody thing.

Only think I'll miss is SD expansion.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] steveathome:
Your Nexus 7 will be here before ICS on the 7.7. I will sell mine after the update and will also get the Nexus 7. No SD just means doing things differently but with better app, games and social media integration will be an awesome device. :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] funkyblue04:
It is so frustrating that Google did not put an SDslot on the Nexus 7. I want ICS. AMOLED screen with SDSlot and HC still wins for me.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Rone1986:
Agreed, SDslot would have been nice. I'll learn to live with the dreaded cloud and 16gb emmc. Maybe devs can develop OTG.

Can't stand HC. Laggy. Buggy. HC feels like pulling teeth.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] choypaul:
please do keep this thread updated with the release of ICS for our P6810 (wifi only version) of samsung 7.7 :D
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Doctor Mick:
I suspect we have several weeks to wait yet. :eek:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
I would imagine at least 1st week of august :(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Rone1986:
And the rest... :-(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] rtsclement:
I suspect like many here I will have my Nexus 7 by then...

There is going to be a lot of 7.7's floating about on eBay shortly...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] steveathome:
The wait will be long....

Cheers to freeradical for allowing me to use his pic! :)
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] funkyblue04:
Pity the Nexus 7 can not take my 64gb SDCard.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Rone1986:
Yup. Not looking forward to this. Just bought 7.7s for my gf and myself in April. Paid about $360 for each from JB HiFi in Aus. Maybe I'll hold onto them until Christmas when people are spend crazy on eBay. Hopefully be able to get $2-250 a piece for them, but I'm probably dreaming... Sigh
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] palexr:
Hmmm, well, in the meantime CM9 works pretty well on my machine, incluidng wifi. The only thing not working is bluetooth (not a huge loss to me personally right now).

ICS is indeed a lot faster and smoother.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Dragonn90:
12 days after the 3g release and nothing for the wifi only, samsung sucks again and again...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Super-S:
loccera has a working cm9 in the dev-section!

Ready for daily use (Bluetooth not working)!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] fastest:
I must say that after i flashed cm9 last night, I'm no longer bothered about Samsung ics being released for the wifi only.

Cm9 plus Lbe guard and i have complete control over my tablet... Loving it!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] heelerdog:
stupid question, can i install this without having to repopulate all my apps and data?

Cheers, Heeler
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] furius:
I think that full wipe (full factory reset) is mandatory in order to get CM9 installed ...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] scottath:
Yea you need a factory reset to get it to boot.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] knoxjon:
That's what titanium backup is for!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] palexr:
Hmmm, I'm being told by Play that LBE Privacy Guard is incompatible with my device?

Anyway, yes ICS is out and cool.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] fastest:
I'm having this incompatible issue with many apps too. Also many apps are missing from the market.

I found the apk for Lbe guard on these forums.. Just do a quick search.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] ascariss:
Ok so the tab 7 plus WIFI got the ICS update today, so hopefully soon for the 7.7 WIIF
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Dragonn90:
WTFF??! Pfff Samsung , we have the most expansive tab and nothing...

The first release is for gtab 7.7 3g, and the first wifi model is the 7+ not the 7.7 wifi.. logical...
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] vobguy:
Yes I just saw that one drop, its for the same region as the 6200 last week, apparently.

It should give you guys some hope, though not sure why they dropped this one before the one for 6810

As for me, I am now weighing if I want to load this puppy on my 6210 or wait. I told myself I wasn't going to root or do anything non-stock with this until I got ICS.. then again I thought ICS was a month or two off when I bought it in December...

ETA Ahh what the heck, I already rooted and did a few other things on it.. might as well go ahead.

Still hope you guys get yours soon!
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] vobguy:
Good News! The 6810 UK region version has dropped , I beleive.

I could be wrong, though, it doesn't say Android 4.0.4 like the other ones I have seen

Questions about Samsung bloatware on official ICS

Hi there.

Anyone running the new release yet?

If so, it obviously has Touchwiz, but does it have all of the Samsung bits and pieces included in Honeycomb, ie. Social Hub, Pen Memo, mini app widgets etc etc.?
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Rone1986:
All praise the Flying Spaghetti Monster... It's true. ICS has finally dropped for 7.7 WiFi, and before my N7 arrived.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] LonestarROB:

Lucky .

As expected, the SCH-i815 will be the last of the 7.7's to get official ICS. I really could care less for samsung's touchwiz bloat. I just want the update for possible new radios and hopefully to help aid fixing mobile data/LTE in cm9

:(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] funkyblue04:
Working well here with root also. We need the ICS source and drivers to drop now.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Dragonn90:
Oh my god, finaly we have the best tab here !
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] h0mer_:
Hi,

Up & running here now. No issues whatever so far. Flashing via ODIN was straightforward, without any errors. My tab was/still is, vanilla stock, no root, etc.

The Samsung apps you mention are here, including Touchwiz.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] palexr:
Oh, damn.... Just when I got everthing the way i wanted it in CM9....

Now I'm wondering if CM9 ICS is better than Sammy TW ICS. My guess is the Sammy FW is still full of bloatware and as such is still not as nice as CM9 (download of 566mb for Sammy, 150-60mb(?) for CM9). Ah well, backup, download and try it. I can always restore CM9.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Rockid:
Could someone check, if video streaming from Samsung D series TVs is still working?

Since I updated my S2 with original Samsung ICS firmware there is no "dual view" option in the Samsung Remote app anymore.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] fatgooz:
Hi all,

is this a wipe or non wipe rom ?

Thanks :good:
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] h0mer_:
Definitely a non-wipe (presuambly coming from a stock, non-rooted HC tab but). All done via ODIN.

I'll have a fiddle & get back to you.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Dragonn90:
How to root the tab now? i tried odin mobile but the root can't stay, i just have the odin app but not the su app :(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Rockid:
that would be highly appreciated!

Because using the "Samsung Remote App" for streaming live tv is one of the main tasks on my 7.7.

Hope they didn't mess it up like on the S2.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] palexr:
Does this	[GUIDE] Root (Updated for ICS) not work anymore then?

ie flashing from Mobile Odin with "Ever Root" selected?
