Figured I'd wait until Sprint makes it official. Supposedly they will notify you once it does become official if you subscribe to the blog.
Cheers.

I could see that Sammy has decided to give official upgrade to ICS for customers in Germany... Any idea about when Indians will get their official upgrade to ICS?

As you're aware, it is Samsung who are supplying the ICS update, and not the XDA forums, hence Samsung are the people who will know if/when the update will be made available to India, and not the forum users - on the rare occassions that this information _is_ supplied by Samsung, it is even more rare that the information is reliable (i.e - almost never have their promised time-frames been met initially)

I know very well that only Samsung gives upgrades and not xda forums but the purpose of starting this thread was to share information(I think that is more important than just downloading others roms from here) as I believe that here on this forum apart from people who simply can answer that only Samsung can give upgrades there are people who know a little more about latest announcements from companies so that they update fellow forum users....Hope this reply makes itself clear.....
India update may come only via Kies and not OTA. I was earlier contemplating the german ICS, but I have waited so long, whats a few days more.
Once the XDA ICS builds are stable, I will move to a custom kernel.

I beg to defer!
Firstly u mentioned of starting this thread was to share information?? wat kinda info u wanna share when your thread topic is " [Q] "
U mean a question = sharing of information? i doubt so...
i had been browsing the forum and 8 out of 10 are indians from india asking abt ETA of ICS, when will India get ICS updates blah blah blah....
Like what u had mentioned only Samsung able to give upgrades (official) therefore when they do have any update FOR your country, do not worry coz lotsa helpful seniors in here will start a thread on it...
To Mod,
kindly close this thread coz i doubt it will b fruitful by continuing with this discussion...
Thread closed
No one here can give ETAs - and one rule on XDA is do not ask for ETAs.
Saw this article.

After the s2 we are one the biggest group. Yet Samsung treats us like crap. If they are not going to support it officially they just release the source code so that devs can create great roms
Ehm, ok.

I spoke to tech support last night and they did not have any information regarding this model of the Galaxy Note 10.1. Since they didn't seem very knowledgeable I sent Samsung support an email where I stated that while I do enjoy my tablet I'm rather taken aback by the lack of updates. I requested that they at least state that they're not releasing updates for this instead of having us keep hoping.
I got this reply earlier this afternoon:
=============================
Dear Steve ****,
Thank you for contacting Samsung. I understand that you are not happy with the Samsung Note as there are no updates on it.
I know how you feel as a customer. If I had been in your situation, I would feel the same.
If you are referring to the GT-N8013 Note, I am afraid to inform that, latest version available is 4.1.2. I do understand that must make you feel upset. We do not have any information on release of updates on your tablet model. I do not want to provide any false information. Hope you understand.
=============================
This obviously doesn't mean other tablets won't get updates and it's clear that the 2014 Galaxy Note 10.1 will, but it is a little refreshing to at least know not to expect anything. Disappointing, but refreshing. Hopefully this'll clarify any doubts.
Maybe I'll start working on a ROM for it. Haven't made one in a while.
Where did they say that no updates are coming? They said none are available and they don't have any information to provide on when they would be coming. Samsung has already officially announced that the tablet will be being updated to 4.4

You're wrong.
Typical Tear 1 Customer Service note
Those people would not even know a update if its code were Tattooed on there face .
These people are trained to answer questions in a way to keep the customer from Asking more. He told you EXACTLY What you ask him to Hear.Why did you not Quote the Official List and Update release comments on samsung mobile. Maybe he might have looked into it..
Anyway Just like my post to this threat This Thread is a waste and a Place for Tempers to flair..
Enjoy your TABLET No real need to chase updates. My note works perfect as it is. Thou i would enjoy the new update its not killing me not having it..
Good Luck.
Nothing to see here...
Your question: - when are we getting an update?
Their answer: We don't know anything.
This thread is so pointless! its already been confirmed so I don't understand why you posted this.

False title as the body of the OP conflicts with it. Do we really need threads like this? Do we not have better things to do?
*Thread Reported
When do you realize that the Samsung support is just a joke - nothing more or less... They have no info, they don't know anything and if something happens, they know it last... Sorry, but that I feel about them.
This thread is useless. There's official information out there sent out by Samsung's Press Dpt. Why did you even bother asking a tech guy/tech support when one says one thing and another says something else? Like:
- "Your tablet will get the Android OS update" (LOL, no mention of version nor anything else)
- "The Galaxy Note will get 4.2 Android update" (Yeah.....)
- "No updates"
- "No info"
Basically that resumes how useless this information was to our forums (it does not contribute to anything, really). So please request to delete this. Or you could've at least posted in the appropriate thread.
Android hater everybody know the Official Announcement from the coming update.

What floors me is that the OP is not a newbie here, I would have expected more from someone of that caliber.
Not to mention I as a Cowboy's Fan would expect more from a Texan.
Please use the existing thread for the upcoming update.
