Hello all
I ask everyone who has a device from Samsung company not to close the tab and read to the end of this post.
I'll start with the prehistory. My first Android-tablet was Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7. I was incredibly happy because it was a unique device. Screen, build quality, metal, processor and capacious battery. I could not get enough of. I bought it for $ 721. it was in June of last year, I must say he has a birthday coming up.
And just a month later I got an update ice cream sandwich. It was the best firmware, and no matter what that summer, Google released a jelly bean.
Time passed, and Samsung is not going to renew our wonderful tablet to the latest version of android. I was waiting for. My patience ran out in March 2013.
March 7 I began to send in the forums with the topic of the samsung galaxy tab 7.7 messages with calls about the attack of the official pages of Samsung in social networks messages such as "We want Jelly Bean for Galaxy Tab 7.7!!!".
We are bombarded official page Samsung USA, Samsung and Thailand. I want to believe that they have heard our cries and dissatisfaction. And 29 days ago, Samsung launched the upgrade to Jelly Bean for Thailand. And that's it. certainly present in the firmware English language, but what about those who live in the countries of the CIS? Those who know neither Thai nor English language. The same China and Japan!
29 days have passed. and no region except Thailand did not get updated until now. I wrote about this in support of Samsung, the country where I live (Ukraine), but I was told that there is no information about the update, and until.
So my dear friends, and just those who are indifferent to our problem, and in general the problem of updating all Samsung devices, I urge you to attack samsunga page on facebook and other social networks. I think it will suit us more than the banner of
"I hate samsung for that instead of an update for my device, it produces a copy of it with a modified design !!!."

I will be grateful for the repost of this topic in any topics on xda/social networks
Thanks All

I happen to go through my google reader this morning and found an interesting article on Softpedia about Android 2.2 coming to Galaxy S in more markets. It is a very interesting read. Has anyone heard anymore info about this topic? The update will supposedly be available on the samsung website.

Here is the original post about the froyo update

This update is not for the US market but for everyone else. I found this comment on the Galaxy S twitter page:
@imms0fat Hi Rich. Thx for that article. It refers to non-US phones. Samsung USA and TMO should release 2.2 by the end of the year.
So us US folks are left in the cold til years end
It’s coming, tomorrow according to PCMag and T-Mobile CMO Cole Brodman. As with most updates, it will come in waves so not everyone will receive it on the first day.
OFFICIAL PCMAG STATEMENT
An Android 2.2 upgrade for the Samsung Vibrant will roll out to subscribers starting on Jan. 21, T-Mobile's chief marketing officer Cole Brodman confirmed to PCMag today.
The upgrade will come in waves, so not all Vibrant owners will receive it on the first day, Brodman said. But everyone should have it within a few weeks. The Android 2.2 upgrade brings several new features, most notably increased speed. Samsung's delay in updating its flagship phones has been the subject of intense discussion on the Internet over the past week, with many Galaxy S owners expressing anger at Samsung's lack of communication about the delay.
So what was the hold-up? It was purely technical, Brodman said—it wasn't about marketing, payments or sales. Samsung sent its base 2.2 upgrade to T-Mobile in late November, and with the holiday season, it's taken until now for T-Mobile to work out the kinks and integrate its own features.
"It was a quality control and timing issue," Brodman said. "The biggest challenge is integration and customization." In the future, T-Mobile aims to update all of its phones to new versions of Google's Android OS within 3-5 months after Google makes the OS version public, Brodman said. The delay comes from having to integrate manufacturer skins and T-Mobile's own features, such as Wi-Fi calling.
Smartphone users expecting frequent upgrades is "new to us," Brodman said, "and we're going to have to step up and change the way we do things."
US Cellular said recently on Facebook that the Froyo upgrade for its Samsung Mesmerize would come in "March." Verizon, Sprint and AT&T haven't yet given dates for their own Froyo Galaxy S upgrades.
Brodman added that the new, 4G Galaxy S for T-Mobile would probably debut at Mobile World Congress on February 13.

Dutch website Webwereld, which also raised issues yesterday concerning pictures of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 presented by Apple to the Düsseldorf court, was first to break the news that the Landgericht (district court) Düsseldorf has temporarily -- for at least the time between now and the hearing on August 25 -- suspended the enforcement of the preliminary injunction prohibiting Samsung's distribution of the Galaxy Tab 10.1 in all EU countries except in the German market.

Looks like they just figured out Apple duped them! Good! I really hope this blows up in Apple's face.
Samsung is a manufacturer which is having the most market shares currently.But, their customer aftermarket support is the worst.
As all of us know, the Galaxy line of devices are so successful today for having a sales of up to millions.The reason for this is from the start of the Galaxy S.It is their flagship phone in 2010, with a sales of about 20 million globally. Now, Samsung have made a decision not to upgrade the Galaxy S to the newset Android 4.0. Source: http://www.samsungtomorrow.com/2043

Is it a hardware issue?No, it is because they just don't want to upgrade it and wants people to buy their new phones so they can make more money.And even Sony Ericsson done soooo much better than them. They decided to upgrade their whole 2011 Xperia line of devices, even including the 150$ Xperia Mini.
Yes i know that the Galaxy S is an old device, which already exceeded the 18 months of software update. But well, what happens to its other brother? The Galaxy S Super Clear LCD i9003 which launched about the same time as the Galaxy S2, and the Galaxy S Plus which have not even exceeded 6 months,and the recently Galaxy W,what would happen to them?And also, the Galaxy S have so much similarities to the Nexus S, which had its Ice Cream Sandwich update about 1 week ago.
It is a BIG SHAME that Samsung would make this decision, as these devices are still in the 18 months software update timeline. Is the Google's Android Update Alliance dead? Most of us would probably say yes. If Samsung are not gonna rethink this and release the new update for the Galaxy S phones, I would be sure that this is my first and last Samsung phone ever.Samsung is just caring its sales of new devices and its money.My next phone would be only from Google, the Nexus line.
If anyone here would like to see when they paid a lot for their new flagship phone and got unsupported after one year you then you could continue doing the stupid act of supporting samsung.I think Google should be like microsoft, pushing updates themselves to the devices and not letting OEMs do the work, OEMs are all just about money, money and more money.
Anyone can feel free to write their own thoughts here.
IMHO - All manufacturers are the same - Good or Bad, Good and Bad, Bad and Good.
In my experience, if I encounter any issues with any manufacture that is bad, It's just my luck.
I don't understand what the big fuss is about. Simply wait for the developers on these forums to make a AOSP/Android 4.0 rom and you'll be fine. You'll get better support from these forums than any manufacturer could ever provide assuming you're using a phone with a significant development community which obviously the Galaxy S phones possesses. The way I see it my man you have a few simple options: Sit here and cry about it, wait for developers to cook up a rom, or develop your own.
I'd just sit back, relax, and suck it up for a little while longer and see what the brilliant developers can produce brotha.
I agree with OP. Can't say if they are the only one though, but surely one of the worst. As I always say, we are giving our money to the brands/manufacturers, not any devs
can you stop spamming every single forum with this non sense?

Hi Developers...
Samsung's Value Pack for Galaxy S just leaked. I think this will open more tweaks to all you guys... Hope that some features of this high end phones will be available to "ALL" android phones..
check sammobile for this latest news.
** sorry can't post it as link
Ive had a look around on sammobile and all i can find is :-
No plans for Value Pack or Android 4.0 for Galaxy S
Bad new for all Samsung Galaxy S owners.
A spokespersoon at Samsung told us threre will be no update or ‘Value Pack’ for the Samsung Galaxy S.
Samsung told a couple of weeks ago they cannot update because of hardware problems.
Many people get angry on that and they open a online petition page.
Because there are too many people angry on Samsung, they told we will check again.
A week after is the result still bad.
No Android 4.0 or ”Value Pack” updates!
