Can you folks confirm that the wifi issue is fixed in this version of ICS?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] darkshadowx07:
nope

So far, I don't have the issue, I tested this with both public and secure (WPA2 PSK) on G wifi. since I moved to ICS (UK and now US) i notice a better wifi signal performance than HC stock.

You can try and see if you have the issue after the flashing.

just download the file from sammobile http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-P6210&pcode=XAR&os=1&type=3#firmware and install it with ODIN (You can find it on this site)

:good: I just updated to ICS via KIES!!! :victory: P6210

I don't know how long it took. Once it started the process, I went out for a bit and it was done when I came back.

All my files, Apps, accounts, and settings are still there. But I have to reset all my icons & widgets on the home screens which is a PITA :p

I'll report back if I come across any bugs:cool:

Yes, I just updated to ICS via Kies. I lost my root. Now Titanium won't work.

Has anyone rooted ICS? If so, which version of Odin and which file?

Many thanks,

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] wortez:
I'm rooted. But I used mobile odin to apply the update. That seems like the easiest way to do it.

Another happy rooted device

The root files posted at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1777003 also works with the ICS US firmware version, after flashing using the Temporary CWM Recovery + Root.zip and voila, device rooted
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Sun_Cat:
The method that kzoodroid linked to above is even easier. It works with stock recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] rickmiraldo:
I have the exact same problem. Solution is flashing with Odin. I'm on Windows so it's easier, but since you're on a Mac, try using a virtual machine or a friend's computer :)

My tab is P6200, so I can't flash P6210 firmware... I'll wait until we get this new version as well, might show up in a few days! But it's good to know the issue is gone! Let's hope it's also gone in the P6200 version! I wonder what was causing it...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] General Klinger:
Here's a dumb newbie question.

Since I have CMR 6.0.1 installed and running CM9 build 10 Aug 12 right now, how hard would it be flash ICS to it? And if I want to swap back to CM9 after, it's just as easy as the first time right?

I just want to test drive ICS and see if I like it :)

Downloading from KIES doesn't give me a zip file right? Becuase that's the normal to install CM9 via CMR. Am I missing a step somewhere?

Firmware Compatibility and Bloatware

Hi folks,

Anyone knows if this firmware is compatible with P6210 without IR blaster?

And there is any bloatware from Cellular South?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] KDOG2020:
FINALLY! Just did the update. Everything works and MUCH snappier/faster. About time!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] gdbusby:
I just gave up with the official ICS and flashed CM9
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Sun_Cat:
It is much snappier, and as an extra added bonus the NBC Olympics Live Extra app now works. All during the Olympics, it refused to show any of the video streams. Now that the Olympics are over, and Samsung has finally released ICS, the app works perfectly. If NBC leaves the videos in place for a while, I'll be able to go back and watch some of those I missed.

ICS update

I did the upgrade this morning via Kies. Had my GT-P6210 rooted and did a factory restore/reset before the upgrade. Went smooth and now have some cool Ice Cream Sandwich for the hot summer.

I noticed that it got little warm last night once it got to 79%, it stay stuck there for a long time longer than normal but cooled down after it got pass that...its on the charge now and has been all day its cool as a cucumber:cool:
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Sun_Cat:
Mine is also terrible since the upgrade. I left it supposedly sleeping overnight after a full charge, and in the morning BetterBatteryStats reported 15 minutes of deep sleep out of 6-1/2 hours since unplugging. I'm going to try Juice Defender, as recommended in this thread about the same problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] DaWeav:
I really like the blue'ish tent to the notifications bar in ICS. The ICS update has also resolved my WiFi connection to Cisco Aironet access points. In Honeycomb the 7 Plus would connect, but after a minute or so the WiFi would stop sending and receiving data even though it still showed a connection to the WiFi. Now it just works!

However, the 7 Plus with Honeycomb had no problem automatically connecting to all three types of my Bluetooth devices when I would turn them on. The 7 Plus with ICS only automatically connects to two of them now. A Bose Bluetooth speaker and an LG Stereo headset. It seems there is incompatibility with some Bluetooth devices in ICS on the 7 Plus now. The Bluetooth device that I can no longer automatically connect to is a Blackberry Bluetooth Stereo Gateway device. When I turn on the Blackberry device, the ICS version of the 7 Plus tries to automatically connect, but doesn't. So, I have to manually connect by going to Bluetooth settings and selecting the Blackberry paired device on the list to connect it. It was also harder to get the Blackberry device to even re-pair with the 7 Plus on ICS. Wow...This is something I use all the time in my Car which now is no longer 'automatic' anymore!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] wortez:
I unplugged it this morning and was about to leave for work @730 am. But I forget to take it today. When I got back home around 5 pm my tab had drained down to 98%. So I think battery life is good for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] kellyann1293:
No specific data yet but batt and wifi seem better

I just did the Kies ICS update yesterday, so I don't have a lot of experience with the new mix. That being said, wireless seems stronger, I'm not getting the memory-related drop-offs I was experiencing before, and it connects almost instantaneously when I wake it from sleep. Battery life also seems to be longer, perhaps 10%.

Beautiful Widgets got hosed up, but a quick re-install fixed that.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jblade1000:
Im abit confused about the sammobile site, why is the only US firmware for Cellular South? I know Tmobile has released theres and I have a wifi only g tab 7+ so does that mean that firmware for it hasnt been released yet?

Download/install Samsung KIES straight from their site. Then use that program to update. It should find it no problem.

Hmm now I wonder if I should update mine to the US.. I have the first UK version of ICS for the 6210, so it won't upgrade OTA or via Kies.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] redb33s:
Update stalled

I began updating my unrooted stock GT-O6210 at about 2:00 am, using Kies and a usb cord. The first part of the update went quickly. After the first part went from 0 to 100%, another section or portion began, denoted by the Kies dialog box labeled 'Firmware upgrade' saying 'Firmware upgrade progress, with a progress bar at the bottom. The progress bar remains at zero after an hour. The screen of my tablet says, 'Downloading ... Do not turn off target!!!' Windows (7) does not show the tablet as it usually would under Computer. I have in the past had problems with the computer stopping recognizing the tablet during file transfers. Also, Kies no longer shows the tablet as being plugged in. (Also,I am in the US).

I have now unplugged the tablet from the computer and rebooted it. It still shows Android version 3.2.

Update: I have tried the whole process again, and it stalls at the same point. What might the problem be?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] vobguy:
Sounds to me like your cord might be, to use a technical term, "wonky" . You could test it by putting a large file ( say, 5 gig or preferably much more depending how much space you have) on your tablet over USB, obviously once it is fully copied over you can delete it to reclaim your space. If you get a problem with the transfer then it could be the cord

The other possibility is USB on your computer is "hosed" (I had one computer where for some reason the USB ports would become a bit confused after it was up for over a month). so I suppose you could first try to reboot your computer if you have not already tried that.

Another possibility is that your tab was messed up by the initial problem and it might not go past there and you might need a full reset , however I am never one to advise those lightly without trying other options first.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] redb33s:
Thanks for the reply. The usb may in fact be 'not quite right' since I have had trouble with it when transferring large files in the past. I'll have to order another from Amazon. The problem is unlikely to be the usb port, since there has been no problem with other operations, but I will try another.

Before I try a reset, I would like to try connecting to Kies via wifi, but am having trouble setting up the connection. I am apparently failing at following the directions Kies provides in the 'Wi-Fi Connection Guide'.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Mycopsycho:
Problem with Kies and ICS upgrade for 6210

I am having a very similar problem to yours. I connect to Kies just fine. The initial upgrade process begins and then at the "downloading firmware upgrade" screen the progress goes up to to 2% or 3% and then I get a "timed out" error message. I udated my Kies before every beginning the process and I have had not problems with my Samsung USB cable in the past. In one of my attempts I even got to the process to back up data and then it moved to the firmware download before timing out. I'm going to try uninstalling Kies and then re-installing it to see if that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] ElSteverino:
Mine would error out during the download process at exactly 42% the way through every time. I did a factory data reset and all is well. YMMV
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] General Klinger:
Took me about 4 tries of wiping/reformatting before I could get KIES to download.

Now I have ICS. Gonna test-drive this before decided if I want to re-install CM9.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] cbill702:
Safest Way Back from ICS (UK) to ICS (US)?

Like "vobguy" I have installed ICS (UK), no root, or other mod. and would like to change to stock ICS (US); however, now KIES does not recognize my 6210 (WiFi) as an "eligible" tablet. Evidently it may be necessary for me to go back to stock using a factory reset (do not like to do but apparently must) and then use KIES to upgrade.

For those of you that have been in the same boat, and have reverted to stock ICS (US); I (and I am sure others) would like your advice on the best way to revert back to stock.

In that regard I have the following questions;

If I do a "Factory Reset" will it reinstall HC (US) and not HC (UK) ?

Would a better course be to install "Cellular South" (US) with Odin, or would this still be non-stock?

The only thing that makes me hesitant about doing the "Factory Reset" is the potential for the "Brick Bug".

Your comments and advice are appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] Mycopsycho:
I finally resolved my problem after uninstalling drivers, then uninstalling and re-installing Kies and still having the process hang up after about 5%. Finally, I connected my laptop to my modem directly via Ethernet cable and turned off my wifi connection. That was the solution! After that the upgrade went smoothly and quickly and I now have ICS.

I am having the same issue after updating, my battery doesn't last a day in sleep mode. Very disappointed in that. I used the task manager to close all apps dont' really think it helped.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] umpapa:
I was in exactly same place and chose to use Odin and US Cellular. All went well and I am in same place as someone who went other route. I had no problems and did not need to clear cache or reset after update. Best of all it did not impact my installed apps or home screen settings. I now again am recognized by Kies.

Did you install US cellular ICS over UK ICS? Thx.

Sent from my HTC One X using Forum Runner
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] GTOJim:
After a few reboots mine is getting normal battery life. Like you, closing apps didn't help, it just took time for it to settle in and a few reboots. The first day or two my tab wasn't going into deep idle which accounted for the poor battery life. You might get an app called CPU Spy so you can check if it's going into deep idle.

Good luck

+1. Except I installed over Honeycomb rooted. Everything works, including Peel. KIES recognized my tablet except I've since rooted and installed CMW temp recovery. Haven't checked KIES yet.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] umpapa:
Yes I did exactly that without any issues. Mine was plain vanilla setup with Nova launcher running as default. When finished looked exactly the same except US version which was recognized by Kies. Unfortunately there is no way to guarantee everyone's experience will be the same. There are just too many variables with different apps installed and different computer hookups.

Good luck....

[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] northofdivision:
Thanks. Got it. ICS running smoothly. Instead of going through sammobile, i just went and download kies onto my girlfriends pc (didn't work on my mac) and it connected, read it, and downloaded the new firmware. Took about 10 minutes total. Notice its much zippyer, not sure about the battery, using launcher ex and it kept all the settings. Sidenote: apple keyboard and mouse connecting just fine (only the keyboard worked with honeycomb 3.2)...sweet. Thanks for the help.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab Plus] jblade1000:

Ok so if i grab the US Cellular one, I should be able to use Mobile Odin and flash it that way, allowing me to inject root in the process and I should be golden right?

Help, Please!

Hello all

I have the SGTab 7.0+ WiFi only as well.

It was not rooted or modded in any way at all.

Today I plugged it into my PC, noticed Kies launched and stated I had a Firmware update and like you all I was excited to get ICS.

The download processed, I walked away for 45 minutes, came back and a message said it was successfully installed, disconnect cable and reboot to complete. So I did.

When I picked up the Tab to power off I had the SPLASH screen displayed, so I disconnected and held down the power button for 10 seconds.

The screen went back and then the same Galaxy Tab SPLASH screen displayed again. :(

So, I think I'm bricked.

I read all 9 pages and don't know where the heck to start.

I'm not familiar with "Odin" or any of the terms you all are using.

Is there any thing I can do to fix this BS, my 6 year old is going to strangle me if I don't fix his tablet.

Thank you in advance for any help ya'll!

This wont work as it requires your tablet to be rooted.

As I mentioned this tablet was not rooted or modded in any way shape or form. :(

Here's some thing weird though

I turned it on this AM, left it in the dock and while I was reading/downloading stuff the tablet rebooted itself and finished the install.

For some reason it just took forever and a day I guess. So odd though as I had left it on longer before and it did nothing.

But it seems to be back up! SCORE!!!

FULLSCREEN BOOTANIMATION

Has anyone else ever found that the Paranoid Android boot animation being 720*1280 annoyed them? Maybe even slightly?

It didn't really bug me until a friend brought it up.

Anyways, I've made the boot animation fullscreen (800*1280) and I just thought I would share.

Installation

- put the attached (or mediafire mirror) bootanimation.zip file in your /system/media folder using your favourite root enabled explorer

- say yes to replace

- make sure the permissions are rw-r--r-- so like an upside down L or:

x x -

x - -

x - -

whichever makes sense to you.

- reboot and enjoy. ^^

If for whatever reason you want to revert back to the original 720*1280 bootanimation, I've uploaded it here.

You will need to rename orig_bootanimation.zip to bootanimation.zip first though.

CAMERA FIX (creds. theguy)

The PA builds used a CM9 nightly that contained a bug that caused the camera to go all screwy in external apps, such as Skype and Barcode Scanners.

While this is fixed in the later CM9 builds, PA has yet to be updated to incorporate those fixes.

By replacing the PA libcameraservice.so file from a later CM9 build, the camera issue can be fixed.

Installation

- download the libcameraservice.so file from http://db.tt/L0J33M7p

- put it in your /system/lib

- say yes to replace

- change permissons to rw-r--r-- (refer to above)

- reboot and enjoy ^^
