Though I may or may not make Samsung change its mind and release an official ICS update, there's no harm done with emailing Samsung about your disappointment that they've basically stopped giving full support to a device less than a year old.
On a blog post, they listed a number of devices that are getting ICS updates, namely the Galaxy R, Galaxy II, and the Galaxy note, along with a few tablet models.
Though the Infuse is older than all these models, it is still only older by a few months, and is still well under a year old. Still, it was only officially revealed in May, close to the date of the Infuse's release, so this might be a good enough (perhaps even valid) excuse for why it is not getting an official upgrade.
Why is an official upgrade so important? Because it's the easiest way that we'll see modified ICS ROMs in the future. Without it, an Infuse ICS ROM is uncertain.
I wrote to them that I liked the SGH-i997 quite a bit, but also that I would not consider buying Samsung products in the future if they drop support for them so quickly. (A better way to have state it may have been "abandon their products and their users after less than a year.") I added that I hope Samsung would reconsider in light of customer feedback and thanked them for their time.
So like I said: it probably won't change a thing, but there's no way it could hurt to apply a bit of pressure.
The infuse is having a hard enough time getting official gingerbread. Good luck with that. Its a waste of time worrying about it.

Trust me, I know it's very unlikely. But nothing ventured, nothing gained.
The worst that could happen is that nothing comes of it.
Nothing is gonna come from it.... Its not gonna happen...they cant even get gingerbread right on our device...they are not gonna attempt ics...and ics is not all that to go thru it...gingerbread is just as good

That's not true at all. ICS runs just fine on the Galaxy S, and it only has 384MB of usable RAM since 128MB of it is used as VRAM.
Samsung is never going to release an ICS update for the infuse. Sad, but true.

A better idea would be to post a comment asking for a list of products that they intend to provide quality software support longer than they have the Infuse, so in the future we'd know which one to purchase and which to avoid.

LOL. Galaxy S line.... Means that it will be the products that will get most attention, as they are part of a line. Does not mean that they will ALL get priority but usually will.
and another thing. has nobody thought of the fact that the Rogers infuse launched with gingerbread. meaning it will most likely get an update to ICS?

My bad Dman I though it would be 1 of those typical phones like my Blackberry. My Blackberry was told it would get the latest and baddest Update, but then later on RIM told us the device was basically a piece of **** and that it didn't have enough ram to run the OS and all the applications. Thanks for clarifying that up, Just noticed Galaxy S was the only phone getting ICS with low ram. Samsung probably had enough trouble getting ICS for the Galaxy S and probably figure it's impossible for the Infuse to ever see it due to all the issues with GB.

yup. need a kernel and branch build from cm9 or port.
512mb ram is not an issue...there are several other devices out there w/ 512. the fat has to be trimmed like d said
imo, aside from the "just so i can have it", gb runs just fine on the infuse.
edit: I wonder if we can get moderator to sticky a line like: "THERE IS NO [email protected]#$% ICS ON THE INFUSE" so we won't be getting this every week or so. The ([email protected]#$%) is optional.

You guys think development will ever rise up for this phone? I'm thinking of trading my myTouch 4G for this thing because I love AMOLED and the hardware quality of the SGS series. But with the development of the MT4G booming I'm not sure if I should pull the trigger.
Anyone regretting getting the SGS4G as supposed to a Vibrant with it's booming development?
Its coming up fast. New Rom's and themes are popping up almost daily now. Choices of modems, kernels, tweaks, etc....
Imo, grab it up! Its gonna be a fun ride and you'll have the chance to be in the front seat
This phone is lightning fast, download speeds are out of this world, and the development, yet still young, is going to take off like a rocket....and I think soon.

Yeah that's what I'm hoping man. Just that I've been so used to GB these past couple months I'm a bit weary to go back to 2.2, hopefully ext4 kernels will come to this phone soon so that GB ROM's will work on this phone. I'm one of the 10 people in this world that actually like TWiz, lol. So I hope GB TWiz can come soon.
I still think this is a great phone and yeah the screen is pure awesome. As long as you know what you are getting in to, and you want the features the sgs4g offers you should go for it. This is a pretty great community starting up around here and lots of mods and things already available. We will have gb eventually (might be a while but hey) and if its twiz you like--thanks to Whitehawkx--we even have a port of twiz 4.0 from the galaxy s2 available!

the SGS4G supports adobe flash; it doesn't have a physical flash for the camera. while the "night mode" really does do an excellent job, there have been times i've wished for an actual flash.
my GPS works near-flawlessly. personally, i feel the hardware is so superior to the mT4G that the (current) fewer ROM options is a worthy price. super AMOLED is every bit as spectacular as advertised.

Has the 1GB of internal memory ever affected you? I'm worried about that because I have about 70 apps installed and still have about 500mb's free on my MT4G, so I don't wanna have to go back to the G1 days where I have to worry about apps2SD. I know it's a problem with stock GS4G ROM's. But do the rooted ROM's create more internal memory?

i haven't run into any issues. froyo allows the moving of apps to the SD. some apps themselves don't support it, but not enough that i've come close to running into the limit. i have around thirty apps installed, though... so your methods may vary.

I'm making the same jump from a mytouch 4g to this simply because my LED flash burned out and this is my 3rd replacement so I'm just ditching it I want something different. At least with this phone I won't have to worry about the flash burning simply because... there is no flash
But in all honesty I hope that this phone can keep up with the speed of my mytouch 4g. I'm going to miss gingerbread but hopefully this phone will get it soon! The screen looks amazing on youtube, I might walk into tmobile and see how I like this phone. Hopefully it doesn't disappoint.
If speed and responsiveness are your main concerns let me tell you...this phone flys. And lots of tweaks to make it even snappier. Of all the things you might worry about on the sgs4g--speed is not one of those things lol.

Yes we will .... eventually ... as you can see there have been leaks so its being worked on. They probably are taking their time due to sg2 sales and due to the fact that the 2.3 release for Rogers had bugs to get worked out. My prediction is after the new year. Hopefully I'm wrong. It goes from Google to Samsung so they can load their bloat like touchwiz and then to att so they can load their bloat, then to us

I disagree. Not only are these post unnecessary because they only crowd the forum, but logical thinking would say that yes we are going to get Gingerbread since there are several leaks, meaning they are in the works of getting fixed.
But in regards to the OP, yes we are going to get Gingerbread, its just getting the kinks worked out. Patience... and besides we already have gingerbread. its going to be the same thing basically as the rogers stock rom. just the android version that will be different and maybe some "fixes"

You are right! And I prob would use HDMI if it worked. Bluetooth actually does work (for me it did) on infused. It worked brilliantly in fact. I may even actually go back to infused just for that reason. It's my only downfall on cm7 but I wouldntbuae it too much anyway so....I guess I'm babbling.

The Nexus One was destined for high end development anyways...But even the freaking HD2 now has ICS. Now thats ridiculous
But yah, ICS really has nothing to be depressed over. Except for the hardware acceleration capability...now CM9 is a whole other thing. But i'm sure CM9 will be available way before LG drops the major update.
I spent a few hours installing ICS on my daughter's Samsung Vibrant. It was nice to play with but not totally earth shattering. Some UI changes (improvements?), some different features. I was very excited about ICS now after spending some time with it, I can be patient and for the developers to work it out.

I think it will be considering the great progress some of these guys are making. Besides we will have(most likely) multiple Roms, before LG even thinks about the OTA.

I don't think there will be any official ICS from LG or Tmo considering the g2x is already discontinued.

Looks that way huh. Well it is LG we're talking about. I would rather a custom Rom anyway, but that's just me.

ICS sucks without CM. I ran ICS on my HD2 and switched back to CM7.2

must just be your HD2 because it runs well on my Vibrant.
Anyway, we will probably see ICS from LG at some point but that will be the last update this phone gets.

I can't lie so I tell them it should but there will definitely be a rom. I do direct them to the FAQ

I spent a few hours installing ICS on my daughter's Samsung Vibrant. It was nice to play with but not totally earth shattering. Some UI changes (improvements?), some different features. I was very excited about ICS now after spending some time with it, I can be patient and for the developers to work it out.

I have ICS Passion 10.6 on my vibrant and its flawless and super fast. Still hoping I dont throw my g2x against the wall before before it finally gets it.
Let not your heart be troubled.
Before you smash the G2x, flash Phoenixblood rom + Faux latest cm kernel and let us all know how you feel about your G2x then lol
I think just about all of us are anticipating cm9 but i believe i have found the best cm7 experience with 0 flaws imo with PhoenixBlood rom
To me is not really about ics, its about how they treat us (g2x users) if it wasn't for cm7/cerqueira this phone would be nothing, im glad i got a good one but many people got ****ty phones and the only reason they did gb was because of the lawsuit. They don't want to give us a fish (updates) and they sure as hell don't want to teach us how to fish (drivers).
I for sure dont want nothing to do with lg/nvidia, had a chance to get 2 cheap LG tvs for xmas, went with another more expensive brand!
NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN!

Well lets not be silly here. LG makes some bomb ass TV's and I wouldn't mind owning one at a good price. I just wouldn't buy another phone from them for obvious reasons, but that's completely different than TV's.

It ran fine without any bug and everything working. It sucks because there is no CM Settings menu.....thats where most of the feature that I use daily are located. losing all those features to gain better new looks is pointless.
I like this phone but, because of the lack of support for it, not LG, NVIDIA and Google. Although it's blasphemy stating this on an Android focused website forum, because of the total messup with this phone, except for the devotion of independent developers and others who support/supported this phone, I will not be buying anything with NVIDIA in it, made by LG, and probably not Android. I am going to seriously consider phones which run the new Windows OS and the iPhone 5 when it comes out.
Im so tired of seeing so much ics everywhere except here i now have an ice cream headache (applause for my witty wordplay) so anywho..im about to order one of these tablets here http://android-sale.com/eken-a90-android-tablet-16gb.html
I dont feel like paying over 200$ so after my research,this is so far my best bet.comes with ics.theres already support for root and clockworkmod but virtually no custom roms yet..so if i get quiet on here soon youll know what i am up to
I posted this to merely get some opinions on this tablet,if anyone has used,owned,or knows someone who has one let me hear some feedback (i trust you guys more than those generic ratings i see on the websites that sell them) also if anyone knows of a better tablet i should get for same price range.i am all ears.

thanks for your words,i dont plan on leaving here at all. might take a leap of Absence after scv6 is released soon. after that ill be waiting till the ICS comes to our phones and then goto town on it. theres just not much left that i'd like to do for gingerbread, i mean theres some unique xml work that i would love to be doing but takes time,and now that the babysitter has flaked out for good im left watching the two youngens a lot more than before so my time is limited now.

True, with a locked bootloader, we are so limited. Kernels can make quite the performance difference. my hope is that as ics nears we can pull it with an unlocked bootloader from cheesecake. I am thinking of trying to make an app to automate the process even more. I sent phydo a PM asking if he would share the source code, so I can take a look at what he's done.
The other problem is we have so few devs for our phone. I'm not all that great myself and basically it is you, Jim, JRW28, and a few others. other phones have a ton of people working on stuff.

Yeah.as for me i spent 10 hours a day for a month learning how to develop.i was steady making progress untill i lost the babysitter,now im watching my girls kids.now i barely have time to focus and actually make the progress i want to to bring anything innovative to the table .because theres a lot more to know.i still consider myself an amateur dev.

@lkrasner Well, technically don't we have an unlocked bootloader, or at least a bypass from kexec? From my understanding we just don't have a kernel to put on it yet.
@rdavisct Does the tablet have a capacitive touch screen or a resistive? I know a friend who bought a tablet that looked really good for the money (two cameras, 1.5Ghz processer, microSD expansion etc.) but he got really pissed of when he got it and discovered it had a resistive touch screen.

True, but kernels are immensely complex. I wouldn't mind if he takes a couple months if the product is stable and bug free, rather than him forcing it out early with tons of bugs.

@krasner ..youre learning! ;-D
@farshad ..yes its 5 point capacitive,1.5ghz single core,1gm ram,16gb internal storage with sd expansio upto 32gn. Hdmi out and loaded with ics. And. 9.5 inch screen.One HELL of a nice package IMO.
Ive been searching for days.only thing close to these specs is the novo 7 elf 2 and novo 7 aurora ..but those both only come with 8gb internal storage,1.2ghz,and 7 inch screen. So i think i found the winner by far.

I know you said you don't feel like paying over 200, but you can get a used xoom off of ebay for very close to 200.
I have a xoom, the one with a 3g/4g radio, and I have hacked it and flashed it to work with an AT&T radio. I have been running ICS on mine for some time now, and I LOVE this thing! When I bought it in March last year, I liked it so, that is why I got the Atrix2.
The Xoom is just that bad assed, if you can spend just a small amount more you can get a used one. I just checked ebay and saw a bunch in about the 200ish range, that lowest was 211, but I am sure if you pay some attention you can snag one for a great price.
Or may be you can try HP touchpad

The Sidekick has been a Froyo-only device so far. We may be getting a Gingerbread port soon....
A true version of android ported to the Sidekick ANY would be godsend to us all xD we've been on Froyo since launch. I would cut the tip of my pinky off for ICS .-. .... I'm not even joking. I wouldn't miss it.
Actually, never thought of this, but what are the odds we could even back-port to eclair or vanilla???????
By the way, why did you post this in the dev section? o.o

Sadly, not even close. But if we could find some devs looking for a challenge then we may someday. I mean, I know the Kick can handle it, I own an Optimus T and that has 4.2 and AOKP, Cyanogen and a whole lot of roms. On a 600mhz processor. Crazy right?
But as said by ged said, we may soon have a GingerBread port I'm excited about that.
I'll ask a couple devs I know (and possibly post a thread in the general section to see if anyone interested). I don't think any device should be stuck on froyo. For Gods sake, the HTC Dream can run freaking JB!!!

Which is a sad thing. I'm a bit older than a teenager myself (and I hopefully act like it!). We've been waiting this long for a update past Froyo. Hopefully, it will finally happen.

Shortly after that, I went and bought myself a Galaxy S2, and to be completely honest, I regret doing so. I wish I had bought the S3 instead, or even the Nexus 4, even though it has only 16GB max, no removable battery or sd card slot.
