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.

Well good thing I have the 6210!
good to know
OP,
The announcement was made by Samsung mobile in the US.
The P6200 doesn't sell officially in the US so Samsung US didn't announce anything about it.
The P6200 was already announced by Samsung Korea as being upgraded soon.

now i see why its not in the list
Hmmm, interesting tot see that my device is in the list to. I think i'm gonna have to wait a bit longer before it rolls out in my country
Verstuurd van mijn GT-P6210 met Tapatalk
hopefully samsung will release ICS for Tab Plus sooner... been waiting for it for quite awhile... honeycomb also not updates.. maybe they are working for the ICS to be release... hopefully..
... I use P6201 3g and i hope after ics update i can remove all samsung **** from the phone...in short, the samsung features implemented in 3.2 are useless for me.
All other devices i use like HD2(with ics) and Xoom (with 3.2) are better to use.
Still waiting for ICS and upcomming cm9 rom.
is there anyone who has information about an ics update for the p6200 in germany/austria?
I can't find anything in the web.
Cu, gurry.
i think it's just announced...

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?

no official words from samsung.but expect it after s3 get 4.1 which is scheduled in october...but surely it will be updated this year.
Well, it's past mid November and we down South ain't getting any Android Jelly Bean love from Samsung. (Not even the HTC One X fans)
Therefore that I'm going the (un)official "Northern hemisphere" route via http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881675 specifically with the German release.
Biggest concern though is that it seems like www.hotfile.com is non-functional ...
First I only routed then later flashed my Samsung Galaxy S i9000 with hellybean.com's release as Samsung stop support on the device whilst still under guarantee and I only had it for 4 months !
I've tasted Jelly Bean and WILL NEVER go back, therefore that my TAB 2 P5100 being only 2 days old is "ready" to be uplifted !!

A whinge about note 1 getting 4.1.2 whilst he doesnt have it.
I'm still on 4.1.1 but you don't see me ranting about it.
What does he expect us to do?
Timely news as my screen-cracked Note 1 is sitting my my draw (official repair £222) and I am about to take my Note 2 in with Sudden Death Symdrome - I work near enough the Samsung repair place in Angel to catch a bus there at lunch time. So it's worth the repair and then a resale with all the accessories...
Sort of on topic, my N8000 got 4.1.2 last week and I wish Samsung would stop this nonsensical regional lottery on updates.
It's more complicated than a region lottery, but still...
And even though 4.2.1 is a big deal for the Note 1, it's stretching the limits of the device
UNLIKE the Note 10.1 which can more than handle it.

Hehe I think you only read it properly after my post anyway, alot of us 10.1 users are even still on 4.0.4, which is getting a bit frustrating as the first 4.1.1 update started in November last year. But yes, we've seen this post all over the forum, we are aware of it!

I don't think Samsung expected so much tablet growth considering the reviews. The growth is 263% for tablets now add cell phones to that. I have had 2 updates for my Note and only had it since November.

Now now - in my book swearing is ranting - and with even less class!
Would be interested to see the "promise" you talk about. There is absolutely no guarantee that Samsung will provide OTA updates of any firmware/software to all regions. It is not in any purchase contract.
To update your Note 10.1 to the latest official JB firmware is trivial. Pick the latest version for your device posted for Germany, UK, USA, China or wherever you want. Flash using Odin or Mobile Odin and you are updated.
If you can't be bothered to do this then go away and stop ranting and swearing in a developers forum!

Ok, you could say that Jelly Bean is only announced in June 2012, Samsung only announced it verbally that it will update it to Jelly Bean before the end of 2012, and now it's only nearly March of 2013, and Key Lime Pie is only about to be announced, and so what? Do you honestly don't see anything wrong with that?
It may not a purchase contract, but it is what Samsung said when it announced Note 10.1, and it is the reason why many others, including I bought it.
Whether you like it or not, Samsung did not live up to what it said, and in turns damaged its credibility.
The fact that I put a Note 1 news in it, is because I am trying to highlight something. It's not like Sammy doesn't have any resource to spare, it is just spending it on updating devices like Note 1, Galaxy S2, which deserve less priority. When my note 10.1 didn't get jelly bean, while note 1 is up to 4.1.2, that is unfair, that is the problem, and that is what my "swearing" is trying to highlight. Well I didn't actually swear as the middle letters could be anything: Funk, Fork. If that is the only thing you get out of my comment, and you assume it must be a swear word, then perhaps you have a sick mind yourself and you have no idea what the focus is.
To force update a firmware that is not designed, not localised, nor may it work properly for my device (as evident in the endless rant and problems in the android development forum) is not an ideal solution, and certainly not what Samsung should force a customer to do. You can certainly flash it at your own risk, and how does it mean that everyone else must be willing to take that risk like you, or does it mean others must live with local customisation that may not even make sense? I hope you do see that I posted this in the General forum (unless you think anything not related to flashing other firmwares must not be part of General), and there are many people like me still waiting for official jelly bean (as highlighted by Tirozz too in this thread), who you obviously don't give a rat's ass about and just wanted them to flash other ROMs.
What methods have you tried to update your device with ?
As I purchased my note 10.1 last week and immediately asked it to do an OTA update and ta da it installed BLK9 (4.1.1 Jelly Bean)
Out of interest it's an N8010 (wifi only)
It could be your region that's holding back your firmware but jellybean certainly officially exists on the note 10.1 and it came out before the note 1 by some margin.
Samsung always has quite a slow roll out schedule as to not overload there servers with everyone trying to update at once.
Look what happened to apple when there servers got overwhelmed devices got updated with corrupt roms which bricked them ...
But if you think samsung is bad for regional delays take a look at other manufacturers sony for example swing from releasing one update first in the uk to the last place to get an the next update.
Well I have a note 10.1 Wi-Fi only and still stuck on 4.0.4, bought it on the airport when I left Holland. I'm offshore near east Timor now but do have internet.

Hi All,
hope you all just fine, and rocking with your tabs.
I just want to share the news that samsung starts rolling Android 4.2.2 update for Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (GT-P3100), with features from GS4 and so on.
I think we have the chance to get updated too, we much premuim software.
as for P6810, samsung might passed 4.1.2 to update you with 4.2.2 .. I know that all of you are pissed, but i think it's possible for you too.
Have a great time with your Tabs all :good:

I love how they are pushing all these updates for the 2nd biggest turd of a tablet they make...... Yet they took a shovel and covered up the 6810 with a pile of dirt. Ya know, while they are at it..........Why dont they revive the Samsung Moment slider phone and shove JellyBean on it too. Hooray for that!!!!

We have not even got Jelly Bean for the 6810 yet. Samsung are hopeless.
I dont think that we will see further updates for the Galaxy Tab 7.7.
I assume that neither JB for 6810 nor some other JB Versions for 6800 wil be released by Samsung.

The 4.1.2 they released for the 6800 caused a number of issues, and seemed rushed out the door.
With the recent upgrades to 4.2.2 (Tab 2 7) , and the fact that Samsung already mentioned that dual-core based system will end with 4.2.2, I'm hoping that they have decided to skip 4.1.2, and provide one last update to 4.2.2
Having said that, I don't see myself buying other Samsung products. For what seems forever, service provider & manufacturer's blame each other, for the slow pace of updates.
This and other issues (Apple injunctions, etc.) are not valid arguments, where Wi-Fi only devices are concerned. If you sell a premium product for a premium price, then you should support it.
FWIW I've been running the 4.1.2 ROM for some time now and it's been fine. Yes, the 7.7 is EOL. But then even as is I still use it daily. Fine tab. Does everything I require for entertainment. Actually, while I'm sure I'll go through many tabs in the future I somehow doubt I'll part with the "little tab that scared Apple". lol
Sure, 4.2.2 or even 4.3 would be cool but really. Some slick extras, yes, but anything "killer"? IMHO, not really. If a device does what I need it to in a manner that I find satisfying,it's a "win". Do I agree with Samsung "flooding" the market with ten and one half dozen versions of the Note, Tab or whatever? Not really but then I ain't in charge there. Let form follow function. Get a device that does what you want and when/if upgrades come down the pike...all the better!
Just my two cents.

Yeah, as someone who just took the plunge to do a self-update to 4.1.2 I can say that the Tablet is still absolutely great to use, even if not the latest Android version.
However, as it was sold as such a premium product, Samsung SHOULD have kept it up to date with Android releases. The JB 4.1.2 is pretty much unofficial and is an 'at your own risk' option for most users (and some have experienced real problems).
Whilst I love the hardware dearly, seeing Samsung abandon it like they did has given me pause about buying more Samsung Android devices. I recently upgraded my phone and chose a Sony product instead of the various Samsung offerings (e.g. S4 mini in my case) specifically because I just do not trust Samsung to issue timely updates or even keep supporting their devices properly. Also it doesn't help that Touchwiz is not a great UI customisation - the Sony effort is much better - and frankly I'd have went for something pure Android like a Moto G if it had supported MicroSD. I'm about to buy a large 10" tablet and I won't even consider Samsung, it'll be between the Sony Tablet Z and probably the new Nexus 10 if Google ever release it....
Samsung really owe it to the 7.7 userbase to do one last update to at least 4.3, preferably 4.4 KitKat. Remember that the Tab should really have shipped with ICS but it wasn't ready so Honeycomb 3.2 was just a placeholder, ergo I wouldn't even count the long-delayed 4.0.4 release as an update. Given that 4.1.2 was only for a few Aisan markets, for most global users the 7.7 has never received a true update. Shame on you Samsung!!!!

Given that 4.1.2 was only for a few Aisan markets, for most global users the 7.7 has never received a true update. Shame on you Samsung!!!!

Absolutely agree! Have you tried Danielhk's 4.4 ROM? Installed in a few days ago and it's pretty awesome!
As far as updates if I recall correctly the 7.7 was THE tab that scared hell outta Apple moving them to ramp up suing Samsung. I can imagine Samsung pulling back on updates for that reason possibly? Still screws over the people who shelled out $500-$600+ for the tablet though.
But then now with the 4.4 port from Daneilhk.....the GTab 7.7 just shines!!!
Its interesting comments which I think many agree with. To get ourselves to 4.1.2 most people around the world
with a few exceptions of the Asian counties, had to do a manual flash. Our device is still very capable as compared
to older and current devices. Yet we need some movement with the software.
My recent email to Samsung didn't offer much help. They said that no planned software update is known for this tab
and that my tab should still be using Android 3.2.
I didn't bother to make further contact, in fact my tab is supposed to be on Official ICS. As far as I've been
able to gather, 4.2.2 seems the most stable as reported below. I'm hoping to replacement my current 4.1.2
with this soon. Most of all I want stability, without much missing functions or problems and of course
having a p6800 device, we need sim access, calls and mobile data.
4.3 / 4.4 just seems to far away for the near future. Maybe we'll have a final kit kat for christmas
next year before everyone retires from the 7.7 development. We can hope (but our prayers won't change samsung's minds)

Hi All,
hope you all just fine, and rocking with your tabs.
I just want to share the news that samsung starts rolling Android 4.2.2 update for Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (GT-P3100), with features from GS4 and so on.
I think we have the chance to get updated too, we much premuim software.
as for P6810, samsung might passed 4.1.2 to update you with 4.2.2 .. I know that all of you are pissed, but i think it's possible for you too.
Have a great time with your Tabs all :good:

no problem, with the litigation with Apple, Samsung has discontinued development.
Then when it was decided that Samsung could continue to sell the device, it was too late.
My opinion is that it promises to take legal action. In January I will start. I'm not used to being fooled in this way.

i will let myself be suprised
There are lots of regions which Samsung have ignored. We can wait but if not new Official Jellybean for 7.7 Users by August 2014 then I think its safe to assume samsung will leave its customers out in the cold. Do we really want wait 8 months for Jellybean though?
I suspect that if Daniel's 4.4 becomes fully functional and stable we might just say you know what, Samsung... don't bother. Still if you can live with custom roms 4.2.2 is stable but you certainly need an additional memory mod like Pure performances to help speed it up and avoid lag, its where I'm @, Might be keeping still for now.

Not just regions, but whole device models !.......... P6810 & Verizon models left out in the cold
I'm over it. Samsung's track record indicates there won't be any 4.2.2 update for any model.
For those still procrastinating (don't mean you @xaadilhx, just move on and appreciate what users in our forum make with what we've got to work with.

Don't you find it funny that after 2 years from the 7.7 release. Apple came out with the mini which is a blatant ripoff of the 7.7.
And now they have the iPad Air which is just a bigger version of the 7.7. COPYCAT!
Exactly my feeling. Samsung should be brave and release a 7.7 2. But in the android update market Samsung sucks big time.

Your 7.7.2 already exists and is called Galaxy Tab pro 8.4 and the cost is about $400 or 386 € for the Wifi only model.
Actual size is slightly bigger than 7.7, so too big for me, so I'll wait after the Huawei Mediapad X1 which offers LTE for the same price as a 7" device.

No AMOLED on the Tab Pro makes it an imperfect replacement. If you want a LCD screen, you can think about the Tab Pro or the Xperia Z Ultra (called a phablet, but at 6.4 inches it's a very good small tablet)
Samsung Android V4.2.2 for GT-P6810?
Yep, and we are still waiting.
Any news on the V4.2.2 front ?
