Ah well, released Feb 2011, Galaxy SL i9003 users have lot to enjoy in the 18 months timeframe... We'd have ICS but waiting 2 more months for GB is a torture!
Still, good of Samsung to join the program...

That makes sense -- Samsung has really been surprisingly good on Samsung. The hardware are great and I think the software is getting better too. But as regards the 18 months update time frame Google mentioned -- I think it would be hard for the companies settle down on a consensus for that. Practical implementation is going to be a head-ache for companies with users complaining almost everywhere on blogs about that. let's see, how it goes.
BTW, it's nice to see Indians keeping a grip on latest tech, for ex. Google I/O that happened just yesterday. Indian tech is going greaT!

I just updated it on the website, thanks for the bringing it out here.
@itskapil:
Ah, I used to run a a tech blog; down for maintenance, anyway... yea, Indians have been everywhere; and quite well informed.
BTW, when the companies have joined the fast update program, I guess they have the needed resources (developer groups) to work on the updates. Who wants to spoil reputation, eh? Thats just like holding on to the drivers, custom apps and recompiling the kernel, stress/beta testing them and release. Simple like the centos or redhat ones we see...
I guess the 18 month timeframe covers android releases in that frame, not how long it takes the update to come through. So, guys stop ****ting about how long they take to release the updates.
very good news.. i own one i9003, and after the rumors of a gingerbread update, this is hte first offical claim of update for this device, the i9000 is better and well supported, but this is a good phone indeed, and with gingerbread will be even better.
Oh, atleast they have responded now!! Thank god!!
Why are the Galaxy SL threads in the Galaxy S I9000 forums, and Fascinate/Vibrant are not? Galaxy SL should have it's own section, since it's pretty much different device with another GPU and LCD screen.
Well better late than... very late!!

Sorry for this noob question.
If India GalaxySL get gingerbread in July, will other countries' GalaxySL users get the updates too?
Or we can flash the firmware used in India in order to get gingerbread?

i9003 being a variant of the i9000 and released recently, I guess i9003 might be getting 2.3.4 as sammy started to work on it later than GB build for i9000.
I think one must ask on tweeter which GB version we will be getting...

As I understand Samsung is releasing ICS during the fist quarter, no release date yet.
I don't think developers are interesting in working on it until it's released. I'm running ICS on my phone, Samsung hasn't released the drivers so the developers have put in a lot of hours and hard work, it's not perfect but getting close. The battery life was terrible at first due to not having the proper drivers but over time it has gotten pretty decent. A working GPS is also an issue, again due to lack of proper drivers. I think the main difference ICS will never be released for my phone unlike our tabs.

I seriously doubt samsung will release ICS for our g-tab Q1. If we're lucky it will be Q2, but i'm thinking worst case scenario Q3.

Not to derail but you can argue that all android manufacturers are slow with updates, Samsung gets a lot of attention because they sell a lot of phones.
With that said, Samsung is painfully slow and I think this device stands little to no chance of a Q1 update, just my opinion.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Whenever a carrier, (e.g. AT&T, TMobile, Sprint, Verizon) gets involved, the updates slow to a crawl. In all fairness to Samsung, they've been pretty good with updates to the 10.1. I've seen an update to 3.1 and 3.2 since I bought mine on launch day, and they were fairly quick. Mind you, I'm taking into account the fact that Samsung had to put touchwiz on Honeycomb and fix some of the issues that were left behind when Honeycomb launched. We've also seen Samsung move rather quickly to resolve issues on the 7Plus, including an update that dropped last night that is supposed to fix the SOD issue. All in all, Samsung has been good about updating its wifi-only devices, so while I'm confident that the phones will miss that Q1 deadline, I have high hopes for the tablets.
I hear you but talk to original galaxy tab wifi owners who are still rocking GB.
Hmmm, there was an ota last night?
On topic, I would cm9 on this device. Fingers crossed.

The reason I asked this is not so much that I can't wait for ICS. It is more derived from wanting an ASOP-ish experience. I am also thinking about the future. OEMs are usually good for the first year of supporting the devices they make. Then they start to fail claiming that the device is not "compatable" with the latest version. I have an old HTC hero that my son uses as an MP3 player. It is running CM7 and the OEM claimed that it would not support gingerbread, heck they even have an ICS port for it.
CM seems to have a good record of keeping supported devices working. I am sure that once ICS is released for the 7 plus there will be custom builds available.

I am an original galaxy tab owner still rocking GB. (I've flashed ICS, but I decided to rollback until the camera issues have been solved and more of my Gameloft purchases are updated for ICS compatibility,) I'm not overly upset that Samsung didn't update it to ICS, but that may just be a personal thing.
Samsung started rolling out an OTA last night that will be pushed to all devices over the next two weeks.

They are not only slow but also the updates themselves are notoriously bad and it usually takes a long time for bug fixes. Samsung's software development side is really not that great.
You are right though, as of right now all of the manufacturers suck pretty hardcore. It's pretty ridiculous really, hopefully they get better with releasing fewer devices.

Yes, it is key to not forget the carrier influences and also bear in mind that carrier-specific variants of, e.g., the Galaxy S2 were not within the scope of Samsung's ICS in Q1 announcement.
My previous phone was the Epic 4G. It was the first US carrier variant to receive official Froyo and Gingerbread updates but it received them well after the "stock" Galaxy S model (GT-I9000, I believe) received them.
So in other words, when looking at Samsung's update record, remember to compare apples to apples. Nexus One got its official Froyo upgrade in May of 2010, I think. The GT-I9000 got its official Froyo upgrade in August. Gingerbread was released in December of 2010 on the Nexus S. I believe the Nexus One got its upgrade in January of 2011 and the GT-I9000 got its GB upgrade in March of 2011.
All in all, not too shabby for Samsung. It's only when you factor in variants (which have all been customized to various degrees which require OS customization) and carrier agendas (I believe AT&T let its phones languish on 2.1 for a good while to not have them be competitive with the iPhone, which was AT&T exclusive at the time) that Samsung's rep starts to take a turn.
The I9000 vs Captivate is probably the clearest example of the negative effect a carrier can have on update releases.
The I9000 and Captivate were close enough that it took developers here very little time (days maybe? weeks at most...) to begin running I9000 releases on the Captivate. However, it took on the order of nine months from the I9000's GB release before the Captivate officially received Gingerbread.
Similarly, Samsung has only been slightly behind other tablet vendors in Honeycomb updates for the Tab 10.1, mainly due to being the first vendor to include a custom skin - but "behind" has usually been at worst 1-2 months of delay.
Similarly, the I9100 is scheduled to receive ICS in March and Sammy seems on track with that. However, the I777 (AT&T variant) probably won't see official ICS until 2013...
For the 7.0 Plus - for the developers the Tab does have, I think polishing the current HC releases is the top priority. Honestly, ICS offers far less compared to HC than it does compared to GB, and right now, there's some major work to be done on the 7.0 Plus thanks to Samsung being asshats with regards to AR6000 driver source code.

Samsung Offers Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Upgrade for GALAXY S II
SEOUL, Korea – March 13, 2012 – Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd., the global leader in Android™ smartphones, today announced the availability of Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) software upgrade for GALAXY S II. The upgrade will begin in the European countries including Poland, Hungary, and Sweden, as well as Korea today and gradually roll out to other markets. Android 4.0 ICS software upgrade for GALAXY Note, GALAXY SII LTE, GALAXY R, GALAXY Tab 7.0 Plus, 7.7, 8.9 and 10.1 will follow soon.
Samsung Electronics has completed upgrading the GALAXY devices to Gingerbread last year by providing software upgrades to both Froyo and Gingerbread. With the ICS upgrade, Samsung Electronics has solidified its position as the leader of Android devices.
Samsung Electronics will also offer Android 2.3 Gingerbread firmware upgrades for GALAXY S, GALAXY Tab 7", GALAXY S Plus, GALAXY S SCL(Super Clear LCD), and GALAXY W from end of March. The firmware upgrades for GALAXY S, for example, include Face Unlock, Snapshot, Photo Editor and others.
"We expect that our customers will enjoy an enhanced experience with their GALAXY device through this upgrade. Samsung is committed to satisfying our customer needs", said JK Shin, President of IT & Mobile Communications Division at Samsung Electronics.
The availability and scheduling of the software upgrade and specific models upgradable to Android 4.0 will vary by market and wireless carriers' requirements.

Galaxy Nexus is a Nexus, not a regular Samsung phone.
Besides that, vanilla UI is not as good as TW.
The only complaint I have about TW is it being "super intrusive". I own an (SPH-D700) Epic 4G and it took our developers about a full year to get it fully CM complaint/functional. Getting AOSP (CM/MIUI) fully functional was difficult due to the fact that our kernel(s)/file(s) were all reliant on TW. But (correct me if I'm wrong) I've heard that Samsung is now making TW less "intrusive" on Android devices. If this is 'true', I wouldn't mind having TW layed up on top of ICS (or any other Android version). TW actually has 'some' helpful features

We have the right to our own opinion. I will take stock ics over touchwiz any given day. After using the nexus and the butter smooth experience, I will not touch anything else.
Agreed, Pure Vanilla tastes best.
It seems Samsung has released their kernel source code for ICS. Hopefully this helps our development move right along.

Samsung is in close communication with both Google and our carrier partners to upgrade devices to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich as quickly and as smoothly as possible. Specific models that will receive the ICS update include the following devices. Other specifics for the ICS update in the U.S. have not been announced.
This list may be altered as updates are confirmed or released.
Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus Wi-Fi (P6210)
How about P6200?
Engadget:
On AT&T, ICS is confirmed for its Galaxy S II, the Galaxy S II Skyrocket, Galaxy Note, Captivate Glide, Nexus S and Galaxy Tab 8.9. T-Mobile customers, however, lack a similarly breathless list of upgradable hardware, instead Samsung says it will aim to upgrade "eligible devices" in the coming months and will "provide updates as we have additional details to share." Which all sounds like those updates aren't coming to Big Magenta any time soon. Samsung vows to update the list with more details as they arrive, which is available at the source below.

All other devices i use like HD2(with ics) and Xoom (with 3.2) are better to use.

Good news for some Canadian Samsung Galaxy owners today. I just received an email that Samsung and respective carriers will start to push out the long awaited upgrade to Android OS 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich today. Samsung stated that “the upgrade will be available today on select devices in Canada and will continue rolling out to devices and carriers throughout the quarter.” There’s no word on which carriers or devices will be getting ICS today, just a confirmed list of devices, including various smartphone and tablets. We’ve reached out to Samsung for a bit more clarity, but they do note that “The availability and scheduling of the software upgrade and specific models upgradable to Android 4.0 will vary by market and wireless carriers’ requirements. For carrier specific details, please visit your nearest carrier retailer.”
Here’s the complete list of devices that will be graced with Android OS 4.0:
- GALAXY S II
- GALAXY S II LTE
- GALAXY S II LTE HD
- GALAXY S II X
- GALAXY Note
- GALAXY Tab 7.0
- GALAXY Tab 7.0 Plus
- GALAXY Tab 8.9
- GALAXY Tab 10.1

That is a very odd statement for alleged updated that are landing "today" with no details on which devices are being updated "today".
We would have at least expect them to say which devices are starting the roll out today and which are "coming soon".
Is the P6200 being sold in Canada or is it the Wifi P6210?
I think its just the 6210.
the best good news!
well, at least we are getting some "roll".. though the "soon" is still there, it's stil a much better news than before.
What doesn't sit well with me though is that it has Galaxy Tab 7.0 in the list. I thought the regular 7.0 wasn't getting the update or am I terribly mistaken?
Update: We’ve heard back from Samsung and it looks like the rollout will start later this week: “The ICS update will be available this week and will continue rolling out to devices and carriers throughout the quarter.”

I agree. It was always pretty clear that the original Tab's hardware would keep it out of the running for an official upgrade to ICS (or so said Samsung). Something seems not quite right here.
By the way, at my local Best Buy, as of last weekend, all the Samsung tablets are on clearance.
But the update is rolling out:
http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/30/samsung-canada-ics-touchwiz-rollout/
Ah that is a bit more definitive that something is happening. Guess that is good news in general though.
No updates available as yet.
My build is Canadian: P6210XXLb2
If I can't update, which stock ROM do you guys suggest I install before trying update? Screenshot of "about device" attached. Thx.

That's probably the 7.7. The GTab 7.0 was never on any of the lists for upgrade I've seen.
Not to ruin the party, but they will probably start with updating the Galaxy S II (like they did in Europe) and then slowly, through the end of quarter add additional devices.
If you read the press release closely that's what it probably means.
Don't expect to see an update before the European unlocked (of Hong Kong) version get it.

-galaxy TAB 7 (P1000 2010 VERSION) = ICS will not released (maybe a ginger value pack)
-galaxy TAB 7.7 (P6800) = ICS will be released (probably te last on the list...)
Where are the custom ROMS?????
I like ANDROID stock ROMS like Gingerbread, Honeycomb and ICS , but how about the custom roms for this device?? I do not know what happen to the developers of the devices to build a nice one. I have installed at least 20 different custom ROMS for my SAMSUNG GALAXY ACE smarthphone, but I only found a custom Rom for the galaxy tab plus that is called OMGBQROM. Where is the cyanongemod 7 or MIUI Roms????? That is a pity because this device is excellent for a person who wants to carry it into a pocket or small bag.
Oh god, so excited! When will this come in europe then? Anybody know that?
