no i am too from india and there is no problems with our phones......
Thing is samsung has not released ota updates for all users.wait for some time you will get ota.
But if you are in hurry go to service center and they will flash latest firmware on your tab....thats all...

i got it dude:good: thank you soo such i will wait for the updates

same issue....
Friends,
I am facing the same issue...I have purchased the tab 2 weeks ago and didn't realize till one of my friend bought one, since he was new to this, brought it to me to set it up, while setting it up for the first time, an OTA update notification came, said OK and found the tab got upgraded to 4.0.4, I have tried checking for an OTA update, a message appeared "no update available", tried with Kies, as soon as the tab is connected it showed an update available, when applied it gets disconnected and re-connect with same option as update available....for almost a week it is same..no OTA and not getting updated...
I guess we have to wait for a little more time...
Update on 30th July...Kies updated my device to 4.0.4
Just tried once again like every day with OTA, as usual no update available...tried with Kies with no expectations but surprisingly...the tab started getting the update installed...it took couple of hours but done and no issues found...

I'm in Dubai, no update here either...
This is why I MANUALLY installed the rom here in XDA Developers & installed ICS myself. If you wait for Samsung you'll wait forever.
Best to download it yourself & install.

Which rom did you install? and does it support all the Middle East languages?
thanks

i am in Algeria and i have a Hong Kong galaxy tab 7.7, av got the update on Kies but i won't use it, ics still has some issues, am waiting for a stable version enchalah.
if you want it so bad, look into the development section, you will find how to update your tab to the latest version of ics, which is the Indian.

Thanks
So its better to flash my tab better than waiting ? and i use the Indian firmware ?
will i be able to still use my Tablet as a phone like put my simcard in it and everything ?

yes you can use it just like you did when you were on honeycomb, but!
1 there is issues on ics, read about it before flashing! if you don't mind... well, next >
2 there is a big problem with ics which is the brick after a wipe! read about it, if you're ok >
3 the modem included in the Indian firmware may work or not work correctly in your hometown
good luck

Yes, better to flash your tab rather than wait months for Samsung to release the update for your country...
If using the Indian Firmware gives you Arabic language then go ahead & use it...
You can use your tab just like a phone by inserting your sim into it...

what so called hard brich is also within HC too! the fix for this is available in the forum just search for it > upgrade to ICS the austrian latest rom is working in good order except for wifi.. get wifi extender and connect through it .it's the best solution i've used so far .. actually the official roms are less bugs than the modified ones .

now u said the word " Brick "
im afraid of doing it because i jsut go the device i dont want to brick it X_X!!
i hate HC its slow and laggy X_X
i'll guess i'll just wait for the official release :<

Malaysia
India
Thailand
Philippines
ICS are all out for them
Damn Samsung is SLOW on update s

Iam flashing my device and every thing is ok you can flash it by odin and then flash cwm to wipe data without the bug if you need to wipe
And i think there is no need to wipe your device

[Q] 3.2 to ICS via Kies on galaxy 7.7 tab

Hi...checked out the answers and they don't seem to answer my question, so here goes....i have a 7.7 galaxy tab purchased in UK but now in Saudi Arabia...it's running Android 3.2...i've been told, if i was still in the UK it would have upgraded by now to ICS but as i'm not i have to upgrade via Kies...i downloaded Kies to my laptop and awaited for the ICS install package but couldn't find it. I tried looking for updates but it says i have the latest....is there anything else i can do to get ICS.....i guess when i return to the UK it may upgrade...i don't know but there must be a way now....thanks for all your help...from a newbie...Mike

the ICS update for UK is not release... yet... so if you are waiting for the official UK firmware... you need to wait more... currently there is Austria,HK,India,China and Asia release.

Never been a real fan of Kies. Mobil ODIN is the way I have found to be almost "idiot-proof". Actually it almost won't let you do bad things like re-partition! Has Everroot so you can flash and inject root saving re-rooting.
Actually you need not wait from region-specific firmware. I flashed the Austrian ICS firmware and it runs beautifully!

What is this Odin...will it mess with my o/s...i like my tab the way it is....what does Odin do? Can someone explain please...thanks..Mike

Mike..Odin is a program that you use to 'flash' your software (HC, ICS) up-grades yourself, instead of waiting for the OTA (over the air) or via Kies.
There's PC Odin which is a windows based PC program and there's Mobile Odin which installs to your phone via Google Play Store.
You say that you are happy with your tab just the way it is...??..??
If so... then dont worry about up-dating your tabs software.
good luck...

Hi,
I had purchased a Galaxy Tab 7.7 in Singapore and I have been using it in India ever since. I have been hearing that the official ICS is out and is available through KIES, but I have tried several times and it still shows Gingerbread as the latest firmware available. Also contacted Samsung support but they are unable to help . Please suggest what do I do ?
Cheers

you might have to download Samsung Kies (From your computer, its officially from samsung) and use that to update your phone, and Android 4.3 is not kit kat, it still jelly bean i understand the installation of kies takes forever and is unbearable but the 4.3 update is worth it!

I don'f think there is one for Egypt yet... You can flash it manually with odin from another country, but it will be difficult to go back afterwards, because of Knox (if you still have a warrenty)
