I know you cannot trust Samfirmware....but...they do have links to leakers and info leakers. They are right probably 50% of the time.
Here is the latest from them:
''Samsung P1000 Galaxy Tab gets Android 2.3 next month. '' (We think March one month later.)
So...march or april.
I was hoping the SGT would get 3.0 and SGS would get 2.3, but it looks like SGT might bet 2.3 before SGS and 3.0 would be for SGT2.
According tovthe gsmarena.com blog it seems that itbwill have 3.0 as well.

It'd be so sad if the Galaxy Tab gets 2.3 before the Galaxy S. But, I suppose I'll take Gingerbread on at least ONE of my devices.
I really don't see the big fuss about gingerbread can someone elaborate please
Well the GTab had 2.2 before my SGS Vibrant so I have not problem with that but since I don't seem to be able to connect my GTab to Kies I wonder how that's going to work?
Clarification - My device is not supported by the version of Kies I have (2.whatever the latest is)

A lot. It's been optimized for battery life, and performance. Plus the JIT compiler has been optimized for the Hummingbird the Galaxy devices use, whereas in FroYo it's just for the Snapdragon.

That last point (JIT optimization for Hummingbird) is the big one for me. It should mean a significant performance boost to the Galaxy Tab.
Main benefits I've found (running nexus one) is performance is a bit better. I also prefer the fonts and dark UI, though that's always skin-able I guess. Been running Gingerbread (CM7 branch) on the Tab occasionally and the performance increases there too. Personally I was hoping that Samsung would just jump straight to Honeycomb for the Galaxy Tab. Makes a lot more sense. Would also be a big boost in sales I'd have thought, though no doubt they've also got a Tab 2 waiting in the wings with that OS.

I've yet to use it on my Galaxy S, and I don't have the Tab yet, but I'm excited for when I get to use it as a daily driver. My phone's fast, but it could be faster!
A few more reasons:
- A concurrent garbage collector that doesn't completely block the UI thread while running so no more stuttering
- Better power management (better battery life!)
- Updated video drivers
- Faster event distribution (better input for games)
- Mixable audio effects (good for music creation, games)
- Upgraded kernel
- HTTP responses are gzipped by default (save on data usage)
- Faster number formatting
- Improved Network and File APIs
- SMS bug fix (in 2.3.2 and later)

Unfortunately that one is controlled by the server you're visiting who is sending you the response to your request. So the browser can tell the server that it's willing to accept gzipped content, but unless the server is willing to actually gzip it, or unless it's already gzipped, you can't say that they are gzipped by default. If that had said: "HTTP requests accept gzip responses by default" then I wouldn't take issue.
The rest of it though while exciting as far as updates go should be included with Honeycomb, and with that running on the Nook Color, I don't think it's outrageous to expect the Tab should get Honeycomb instead of Gingerbread. After looking at the Honeycomb announcement from Google though, I'm not sure a lot of the interface changes are an improvement. I'm not sure we need a status bar at the bottom taking up space.
Is there an ETA for 2.3? Reading what you guys wrote makes me look forward to it.

i agree, with honeycomb almost here why would they waste time with such an incremental update?
For the phone part, maybe? I am one of those whose traded in phone (a n1, too) for gtab, and that is working well for me. Don't know what to believe, but if honeycomb is for tablets, then would there be 'stuff' in it to support gsm voice?
If not and a gtabable version of gingerbread (with voice) is available, I'd love to have it.
Another thing to ponder, the leading edge, latest and greatest android rev from Google, will probably always hit the flagship device for that rev first to(sorta obvious statement)! it will be sometime before it will make other devices; even the older flagships. Look at gingerbread now -- available for nexus s; but still in the 'next few weeks' state for n1. And I'd think manufactures, HTC, sammy, Motorola etc are tepid about porting new android revs to old hardware - it kinda takes away sexiness of their latest hardware that does run latest android.. . What i am saying? I think it is gonna be sometime before we see a new significant rev upgrade from sammy. I hope i am wrong.

Yep, the joke is on us suckers, who go fooled by Samsung's lofty statements about the Galaxy S being their mobile game-changer.
Gingerbread will change the UI dramatically, and thus it will really change the way people use Android. OS 2.1 and 2.1 still feel like work in progress, and even Google claims that OS 3 will finally take the platform to a mature stage.
But I am losing faith that we'll see Gingerbread on the Galaxy S. By the time we finally get Froyo, Gingerbread will probably be officially released.
Then Samsung will EOL the Galaxy S, repackage it with a slightly faster chip version and go to market trying to get new suckers to buy the Gingerbread version, or old suckers to upgrade to it....
Phew!
If the release it for the galaxy s 2 or whatever it will be much easier for the devs to port over than it is for them to get group working now since samsung will most certainly keep very similar hardware in the next iteration of the phone.

Hopefully true.
But there is little excuse for Samsung being so slow to push upgrades. It's been 5 months since the OFFICIAL Froyo release, and Samsung must have had access to betas way earlier.
It will also be inexcusable if they don't upgrade the current Galaxy S to Gingerbread, since it's such a major upgrade and the phone hardware is compliant with it.
I am grateful for the devs here, but at the same time, I just went back to stock JI6 (just with a standard Android lockscreen mod), and frankly the battery life improved a little, plus the phone seems a bit more stable overall.
At this point I just want stability and the latest released firmware and OS. And it's Samsung's responsibility to provide it in a timely manner.

Samsung Galaxy S and Samsug Galaxy Tab gets Gingerbread. (No info about other devices.)
It's possible.... especially with no timeframe, it is very possible. If you, hmm, catch my drift.
yea if we live in a magical land filled with roads of chocolate and gumdrops......
And where a Samsung-branded magical dragon delivers the updates to your phone personally, and when Samsung misses a deadline the dragon cries.... and his tears turn into Jellybeans! And those Jelly beans cure cancer.... err, I think I've gone a bit too far.
i'm guessing that samsung is going to release both 2.2 and 2.3 at the same time. everyone will have to listen to KSAM radio to get the update....

this sounds very plausible because the tab is just an oversize galaxy S, and the new phone they're releasing for ATT looks just like the vibrant. If those two devices gets gingerbread, it wouldn't be long until someone port it or samsung actually releasing it for the vibrant too. Just have to wait and see. This would be better than getting 2.2.
well me i would be more inclined to believe that one of the devs like team whiskey, eugene will have gingerbread before samsung or tmo delivers on all their broken promises.
Frankly I do not care at all, I see Froyo as a HTC upgrade, one that every HTC phone needs and should have. It really woke the hell out of my HTC Android phones up!
Now with the Vibrant? NONE of the leaks have made my phone any faster, in fact the last 2.1 I used was a lot more stable than the best 2.2 rom I have used so far (and I have used quite a few of them). The only advantage I have seen is much better GPS locks and faster internet speeds with the JL series modem files (outside only, worse than the 2.1 modems inside a building) and much better reception overall than the 2.1 modems.
So IMO Froyo update will only be a modem/gps/reception update, no real speed or any other advantage here.
Now gingerbread will be to us what Froyo is to the HTC devices, if we will get it at all that is

It is definitely possible that official 2.2.1 Froyo is optimized for the hummingbird (i also heard that it may have a newer file system), thus giving the SGS the same boosts as snapdragon devices... wishful thinking of course...
so possibly they will merge parts of 2.2.1 with 2.3 giving us a taste of both in the near future possibly before 2012

From a Dutch site: http://www.tabletguide.nl/5393/samsung-galaxy-tab-krijgt-gingerbread-update/

That's not good news to me, I have a tablet, I want Honeycomb!
Lol. A firmware update is always good to me. Hopefully we'll get at least either.

2.4
Gingerbread is basically the same as froyo. The only real improvement is making the text selecting more intuitive. I want the api from honeycomb, for dual pane applications and the new 3d interface.
So that means either honeycomb or 2.4. For me 2.4 is probably better, since I will meanly be using the tab as a phone with a tablet profile.
So Sammy, please give us 2.4 and not just 2.3.
yes, nothing to write home about
if you want 2.3 go get the cm7 beta from the dev section
what i want is a honeycomb port
It is a good thing, because of possibly updated drivers we can use in a Honeycomb port
Don't know if I want a honeycomb port. What I want is a performance improvement and Gingerbread is such an improvement. The JIT compiler is optimized again (like it was the case with froyo) and there is a concurrent garbage collector for better memory management.
If honeycomb is even faster (for a non dual core device) yes than I want honeycomb. And as for the beta build, I rather wait for a beta of the 2.4 Frankenstein build LoL
Furthermore, if Samsung is committing itself to an upgrade, this means the tab won't become obsolete when other new 7" tablets hit the market, like for example the Flyer. It means that they have plans to stay on top of this segment, which is great. Maybe they will also improve the built in Samsung software, like for example the browser and the mail app. So no buzz, but rather the real thing for me
I'd be happy enough to see Gingerbread arrive (the CM7 beta on here is unfortunately a long way from being a stable release). Not so sure about Honeycomb. That's specifically for tablets without hardware buttons. Would seem out of place on the Tab - which let's be honest is a lot closer to a phone than a tablet, despite being awesome at that. I think Samsung will skip Honeycomb and head for the release that combines Honeycomb UI and phone functionality. Whatever happens, it'll be nice if Samsung supports the device with OS updates for at least a year.

Getting a bit eager aren't you?
We've only just got gingerbread, and it still needs some fine tuning by the sounds of it (I'm on JVK at the moment).
Regardless, as far as I know, 2.4 is going to be merging alot of the honeycomb features into the phone ui. Beyond that, we're really just going to be speculating.

I don't think that's going to happen. It has been a super fast updating cycle 2.1 -> 2.2 -> 2.2.1 -> 2.3.3, so I think it going to stagnate now for SGS and only bugfix releases will come to our phone.
I'm glad that we have some home made roms to choose that will continue to improve. Because Samsung will not fix bugs as fast as our beloved rom-makers for our SGS.

As you all know that 2.3.3 GingerBread has lot of bugs and still all the phone Manufacturers like HTC, Samsung ,Sony Ericssion, Motorola...etc are facing issue with the Gingerbread version. Its Perfomance is not as expected.
Google is working with the phone Manufacturers to provide best solution.
May be Google will come up with Gingerbread 2.3.4 or it be 2.4 even.
As in Froyo 2.2 was the original version Released. But later lot of bugs was fixed & it was updated to 2.2.1 & 2.2.2... May be same comming up with GingerBread

From what I've heard:
IceCream will be a total iPhone Killer, faster than Flash himself it will do things when you think about it, without user even inputing anything.
But google is facing massive issue and are trying to disable this feature or put some kind of filter because when the user gets drunk, the phones starts dialing the number of his/her ex at 03 in the morning and it cause massiv traffic on porn website mostly when used on male users.
Also, it is supposed to integrate a macro atom builder and provide a food delivery system. They are actually talking to many restaurater to beta test this feature and testing, as we speak, secret receipe in colaboration with McD so that you can order a Big Mac, pay it with your phone and, with a bluetooth enabled oven, create the atom and built it for you
It will also provide an interaction module that analyse your conversations and prevent you from saying conflicting sentences, so basicaly it will bring world to peace!

Samsung is doing amazing job in hardware development. They really do but for software support the company simply s*cks.
For example Galaxy S is almost a year and a half old. This device sold more than 10 million units worldwide is one of the most successful smartphone ever and believe it or not it's still waiting to get Gingerbread.
And this is only one example. Almost every Samsung Android phone out there is suffering the same issue. Actually all with the exceptions of Nexus S and Nexus S 4G and that because Google itself is handling the software and pushing updates on those devices.
To make things worst Samsung will push the TouchWiz UI very soon. Which means now they have to make sure Touch UI is compatible with the latest Android version which take even more time. They always take their time to ensure compatibility with their stupid TouchWiz and they ALWAYS end up with extremely buggy results.
As for an early leak, what is the point of getting a beta software to an already buggy device?
If for any reason you believe that Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be an exception for Samsung, please feel free to share. I really like to know it.

I would disagree somewhat. The Galaxy S has been upgraded to Gingerbread on European versions of the phone. While updates for phones in the past have been lagging I would view that Samsung has taken a new approach as of late. The majority of the phones released around the same time period as the Galaxy S line have not received the Gingerbread update either. I would respond to you and ask for another cell phone manufacturer who is doing it better? Also besides zoom to fit (which spare parts will fix) there's not much benefit of 3.2 for us. The update adds zoom to fit, finally enables SD cards on the Xoom, and is more optimized to fit on 7" tablets i.e. 7-inch Huawei MediaPad.
As for Touchwiz I felt V3 was in need of much work (it does appear to be revamped a tad and smoother on the latest Fascinate GB leak) however V4 on the SGII has me sold on it being the default launcher on my phone. It is butter smooth and I love how it is laid out. If you were to poll the majority of Android users on XDA I would wager over 75% are unhappy with their stock manufacturer's launcher. I am looking forward to what Samsung will bring to the table.
I myself believe that Honeycomb is still very "beta-ish" in its current state. It was rushed and is extremely buggy. I think releasing the source code would help immensely as devs could iron out bugs (which they nicely do for Google now on the phone side). However, I do not believe it will be released before a transition into Ice Cream Sandwich.

Browser seems a little faster and typing a message on XDA doesn't lag as bad as it did on 3.1
I was also planning to buy SGT, but now I'm not sure anymore. I don't want to wait for updates. In this regard, the US Xoom is the best tablet. Only downside is that the US 3G version doesn't work in Europe and i want a tablet with 3G connectivity.
I got the update(wifi Only). Any one have a clue how to access it? Or make Sgt use it? The SD card i mean..lol
There isn't a 3.2 update for Galaxy Tab, and there is no SD card either. Troll somewhere else
I've been a forum reader/poster for over 20 years. Seen many things and read many posts. I know trolls and I know funny.
It's safe to say that the threads that I've read on the XDA forums have the most people with lack of sense of humor than any I've been a part of.
Why is that?
I didn't think it was funny... It was a clear troll post.
Could the 10.1 run 3.2 from the Zoom, or does it have to be made specifically for the Samsung 10.1?
Because supposedly reverse landscape and portrait mode performance are improved, near regular landscape performance.
Thanks for making my point.
