Please help samsung galaxy note - General Questions and Answers

I am using Samsung Galaxy Note I upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0.3, it works nice. I upgraded through a third party as I am not use to all this, I mean I am not tech savvy. Now, what I see everytime I connect it to Kies is a message saying "your device is not supported to upgrade via kies". What could be the reason? Nor I can find a new update from my phone itself as I know there is a new update to 4.0.4 but, my phone always shows no updates available?

ICS Android version on Samsung Galaxy S2 !!

Anybody can help ?!!
My Samsung Galaxy S2 came with a 4.0.3 Android version (Ice Cream Sandwich) .. Although it's the newest version, but I feel that it's not compatible with my phone ! It causes many problems such as force closes on FB application, Whatsapp, turns off suddenly, etc .. In many occasions, I had a black screen while being in a certain application then getting a message of "This application is not responding" , then goes out of it !
I know many people who got the S2, but none of them had it with the 4.0.3 version .. All of them had it with the Gingerbread version which seemed to be very stable and lovely ! Every one got surprised when I told him that I'm having such problems, knowing that I got my new phone since 2 weeks only !!
Moreover, when I go to "About Phone" feature, then to Android Version, Baseband version & Kernel version and these stuff .. they are all "off" and not enlightened as the situation is in the Gingerbread version !!
What's the real problem ? Is my phone rooted or what ? Please Help !
Its most likely rotted

download root checker to quickly see if you're rooted or not. If you are, flash over the stock rom. If your not, find the guide to root your phone and then when thats complete, flash over the stock rom.
You write it's a new phone only two weeks old. Did you buy it in a store, then go back and make them repair it on warrenty. Just in case it's a defective motherboard or so. If you bought it privatly, you probably have to do as PakAttack1994 says, check if it's rooted, and flash another ROM, and you schould be home clean

Either Samsung will send an update for kies, before the ICS Update... (likely the case) or you'd have to go back to 2.3.5.

Official U.S. ICS ROM released yet?

As the title says, just wondering if the official US rom has been released yet OTA or otherwise. I think (pretty sure) I'm running the U.K. version right now and I only have 1 minor problem which is the reminder to setup software updates doesn't work. Also, I'm thinking about giving this tablet to my GF for Christmas and getting the Galaxy Tab 7.7 for myself for the better screen.
Thanks for the help!
Bump?
If you're asking if Samsung issued an upgrade to ICS for the 7.0 Plus in the US, the answer is yes. AFAIK, it had to be installed using Kies.
I can confirm this, I just updated my tab yesterday via kies and it's now in ICS 4.04
OK cool. I'll flash back to stock and do an upgrade to the official
On a side note, I also followed the root instructions under the CWM 6.0 thread in development and it still works :good:

The latest official update from Samsung/AT&T is Ice Cream Sandwich, not Jelly Bean. It's also not available OTA (Over The Air) because of its size; you need to download Kies (basically Samsung's version of iTunes minus the store) and it can install the update when you plug in your phone via USB. If you want Jelly Bean now, it's going to be rooted, and it's going to be quite buggy. Expect many random freezes and reboots.

[Q] Kies won't offer latest firmware. Stuck w/ GB

So my dad and I both have the Samsung Galaxy S II LTE Skyrocket from Rogers; I727R. A couple days ago I updated mine via Kies from Gingerbread 2.3.5 to Jellybean 4.1.2. Today I tried updating his (also GB 2.3.5), but once I connect his device, Kies says it already has the latest firmware.
Is there a way around this? I explained my situation to Samsung Support over the phone and the representative's suggestion was that "even if someone had the exact same phone model and carrier, the update could be rolled out at different times." And I was advised to just wait. Hasn't Jellybean been out for a few months now?
I tried a hard reset on his phone and it still didn't offer any firmware updates. Can anyone help? Thanks.
If Kies does not work for you, read the stickies. In them you will find all the directions to use Odin to update your Dad's phone. You will also find in there all the files you need to do it. Good luck!
