Is it ever gonna happen.
Or shall we move to xoom?
Honest question needs an honest answer
Especially sine vidafoine has already ditched 10.1v, I doubt it will be updated ever.

I asked my provider Vodacom (owned by Vodafone) about the 3.1 update for the Galaxy Tab 10.v. This is what I wrote to them:
"To whom it may concern
I have a contract with Vodacom ,and they gave me a Galaxy tab 10.1, but it only has Android 3.0.1 installed. I would like to know when Vodacom/Vodafone will release the software update to Android 3.1 so that I can finally attach USB devices to my Tablet. It is a little frustrating having old software while other tablet users already have the update (Take the Motorola XOOM for instance, and the fact that the Galaxy 10.1 is already shipping with Android 3.1 in the states).
So my honest opinion is if Vodacom wants to be a credible and reliable mobile operator selling the latest technology, then they must update their Tablets/Smartphone to the latest software promptly."
I'll post their reply here...
yeah that would be nice to wait for their answer. But i think vodafone wont follow the 3.1 update path cuz the update will be different for 3.1 v cuz it has 3g from the 3.1 update for wifi only version.
I personally think, since 10.1 is out......the development and tweaks here at xda will slowly die down for 10.1v.
Samsung does it again. Loyal customers are kicked out.

I already have 3.01. The most verifiable source would be vodafone to answer our questions.
Do we have 3.1 or not. !0.1 is already shipping with 3.1.
I finally got an answer from Samsung south Africa and the update is expected to come in August, at least on south Africa. So it seems like by September we'll have the 3.1 update.
Samsung promises me a follow up phone call with a data expect to explain more and if I get interesting information I will post it here.
What a mission to get anyone to speak on this...

I got an answer from Vodacom directly and all they said was that Samsung had already released the 3.1 update and now vodacom's technicians were busy with it to ensure it was compatible with their services and network.
But no expected date for release was given.
Honestly though, My hopes are lying with the XDA community, I still think that if we can repartition the 10.1v then hopefully it will allow us to flash the 10.1 updates or roms with minimal effort. We have all the driver source codes for the 10.1v so hopefully that will also help things.
Twigster, just for interest's sake - to whom did you speak to at vodacom. Honestly speaking I found them unhelpful.
I'm not going to buy a network operator branded device again. My nexus is always yge first to get updates because it's unlocked.
Sigh

I emailed their support division for answers the day that 3.1 was released for the 10.1. They came back to me about two weeks later with that response. So no one in particular.

as our 10.1v is stock honeycomb cant we just update through google?
I thought that running stock was supposed to make us free from the carrier update chains..
anwyays, you can already flash 3.1 with touchwiz UX in the 10.1v developmet forums, so why not give it a shot if you really want 3.1?
Any new info? When to expect the 3.1 update...

another popular xoom forum say japan have got the 3.1 update
According to one Russian forum this 3.1 Japanese update supports SD card! There is directory /sdcard-ext, which is actually SD card.
It has build number: H.6.4-15. Kernel 2.6.36.3 [email protected]#1 and it has Firmware configuration version string: GAS_ASIA_HUBKDDI_P007
interesting indeed...
maybe 3.2 for US xoom's will include sd support after all...?
see also here https://supportforums.motorola.com/message/410288 ?
Sooo, if you've updated to US 3.1 it's worth changing back to UK just for SD support.
For slower updates for 3.2 etc. I am thinking not still...
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium App
Nah, if you've already updated to 3.1 and need SD support, you're better installing Tiamat kernel.
isn't the japanese version a wifi only?
does it matter? its sd card support
its been said that Non-US xoom will get sd card support.. and good thing is, it is suppose to be rolling out as we say..
Any chance we could see a full system dump?
so far, i think the rollout only started in japan today, with a "special" build for japan/asia
i think europe will follow in the next few days.
just checked on my euro 3g xoom in germany and there is no update available at the moment

I wonder when Canada will get it, they make no mention of Canada besides saying *non-us* I'm hoping its soon.

Relax Fellow US Xoomers
i think we the US Xoom will still get the SD support. it is just a matter of time. this 3.1 update was given to us about a month or so ago. and it is just now hitting the rest of the world xoomers. so let hang in there, as stated in other thread. the US Xoom is a GED (Google Experience Device) so all the updates are coming from google directly. and the Xoom will be the US Xoom's will be the first to get any direct update from google.
this 3.1 update that is now rolling to the rest of the world was the same 3.1 we got with a few tweeks from motorola which implemented the SD fix. that's becasue the international Xoom is not a GED. it is MED (Motorola Experience Device). so all updates will come from Google to Motorola to International Xooms. i can bet that we will get the 3.2 fix soon, and it will take another month or so before the rest of the world gets it. that's just how it's going to be.
the US Xoom is the best experence you will get from Google. and in the future i can see Google making some feature exclusive to US Xoom. that's all part of the GED. i am going to wait it out, becasue i still have a good 15GB on my Xoom, even after a total of 515 apps install. i keep my media in the cloud, so i don;t have to worry about media files taking up space.
Apparently 3.1 rollout has started in china.
Any evidence for this as there was noot much feedback from japan

when this came out in US some people got it by changing the xoom date settings ? possibility in outside US ?
Seems odd that 11 days after the Motorola 3.1 update with SD card support started rolling, out I've only seen a single blog post confirming it and offering any details.
oh well, several weeks for more ;p
maybe not many Japs have the Xoom... they all have the US version instead or flashed their Japanese Xoom with the US image
i think they have an update in japan.

Is that true? not believe it!

7 days to finish "THIS MONTH" let's see how much time means a month for them
Pleace be real!!
I want to, but i just can not beleieve it Samsung are an awful company, they have improved their quality a lot, but the support for the products is awful, anyway 15 years ago it was a bad idea to buy a Samsung anything, now it still is a bad one. I will never ever even think of purchasing any their products again
5 days !!!
4 days!!!!
Lets hope it's all true.

On Samsung / uk at the support, is as follows:
SAMSUNG Kies, PC Sync (Sep 27, 2011)
That means? GINGERBREADDDD!
3 Days!!! Any in UK that already installed the new Kies is there any update?
Thanks
not yet in Bulgaria ;(
I updated the KiES but it still says that the tab is updated to latest firmware..
@Malicieux - dude, do not expect it to pop up first in Bulgaria, I still do not believe that there will be an update for us, but if i am wrong, i would not wait for it to be rolled out by Samsung Bulgaria ...
Just received the Kies update and when connect to my P1010 it says the S/W version in your phone is not an official version when in fact it is the original. I did do a couple of temp rooting with z4root.
Notes that the version is: PDA:KC6 / CSC:KC6(XAR)
Thoughts?
i got the same message on mine. someone else on another thread got the same thing on an un-altered P1000, so I'm hoping it's a sign that GB is indeed on it's way.
Going to attempt an update as soon as I get home- Anyone else have any news on this?
No updates to me atm
Bought in France and I live in Belgium

Also no gingerbread update for P1010 here in Germany... =(
Samsung proves it again and again ... never buy Samsung, actually all these updates saga leaves a bad taste for Android, a colleague of mine is a customer of the Fruit Company and he does not have to live this whole ordeal, everything just works, all of the updates come on time and samsung does not produce the phone for his OS of choise.
I had a discussion today with a local Samsung office regarding why the Official ICS update for Galaxy tab P7500 will properly never get a WW-release.
I put the question to the Samsung official that if forever delayed ICS update for GT-P7500 had something to do with their court-battles with Apple regarding GT-P7500 and the Ipad. The Samsung official more or less hinted that the reason for the ICS update has not been released WW and most likely never wll be for the device has something to do with their legal problems with this specific device.
So there you have it folks.

The court has said recently that Sammy did not violate any patents regarding apple's iPad which is why the ban was withdrawn last week on tab 10.1 sales even though it doesn't matter now
Thus I do not see how what u said adds up!
PS: I think Samsung has to pay $2 billion to apple but they did appeal so the frenimies are having the time of their lives while we suffer in agony from lack of updates and options!

talked to Samsung customer service the other day. They said there's no information about the update. They said they usually receive information about the update 2 weeks before the update rolls out. So it's more likely that we won't get it by the end of this year. Samsung is a liar. They said the update will be rolling out in Q4. What a bad lie!
I'm really hoping it comes through soon. I have 4.2 on my phone and I love it
Well the 8010 OTA is out which hardware wise is pretty identical. There should be roms available in Development within the next few days. Just check there.

After trying to get a straight answer out of anyone at Samsung USA I am not betting anytime soon. If it happens by the end of this year I will honestly be shocked.
After going through the new christmas advertisement, i have a feeling that the update will definately come on or before 25th dec.
I think samsung wants to cash on shopping time, and put in a new advertisement in front of ppl to get that feel good factor for this tablet.
I really don't think they have any other reason to hold this update back from 8013 users otherwise.

That advertisement is posted on the Samsung mobile facebook page. The one they use for international users. If you look at the Samsung Mobile USA facebook page they do not even mention the note 10.1 AT ALL. It is all S3 Note 2 and the tab 2 10.1 It is like the note 10.1 does not even exist.
You would think with all the tech sites that someone could get answer about the 8013 but nothing to be found.

good point. The 8013 and 8010 are basically identical hardware wise, but it seems the 8013 has so many issues, including slow updates and problems with getting palm rejection on ezpdf reader. Had i know all this, I would have definitely gotten the 8010.

So the question remains
So.... With all that has been said the question still remains. Where and when is the update? There was a time, just recently, that you could not turn on the tv without seeing a Note 10.1 ad a thousand times. Now it is only occasional. They have moved on to the note 2.
You would think that with all of the tech sites and tech people that someone would know somebody at Samsung that would have an answer.
Why so silent about the 8013?
Is it an issue with the apple suit?
Are we just spoiled and impatient because we were not first?
You would think someone could figure this out.
It's a great question. You would think that with the 4th iPad, TF 700 as closest competition in the US they would get it out asap. They've pushed their GS3 with JB on almost all carriers in US (correct me if i'm wrong), their Note 2 had JB when released and almost all got the new update with more multitasking, all that's left of their top 3 would be the GN 10.1.
As an earlier posted stated some misgivings about the 8010 and 8013, i thought they were identical in hardware. The only difference methought, was some of the applications that were on the Note 10.1. Part of the reason other countries got the JB update I thought was 1.) They had GN 10.1 released to them before the US, 2.) Had cellular support 3.) Beta test for any hiccups. I've never known Samsung to have huge issues with their updates (except on cellular which is more carrier related and the 1 incident that could essentially wipe your phone with a html link) but i thought maybe some of these carriers made a big stink BEFORE their contract with Samsung saying they wanted JB by [certain date]. I know if Samsung doesn't get it out by that date they get fined or charged per day - but this is all a guess on my part. I can see the new 8020 getting JB before it gets released, because it's newer and has LTE. All i can think is that sadly this time around their wifi didn't get the update 1st.
If there was someway i didn't have to change my csc and essentially do a complete wipe on my 8013, i would upgrade to another version of the JB. If all i have to do is Odin the pda file of the UK version then i'll do it - i am getting anxious as all of us, but i refuse to lose my data this time around (yes i know about TI, i just prefer not to have to do it).
Perhaps we should write to the leaders of XDA and see if THEY can get a response out of samsung and post it on their main page. That or androidcentral. Android central posted when germany was getting the "premium suite" upgrade that it was a slow roll out - which made it seem like it was hitting all the different countries/regions separately and over time. Technically i guess this is correct, but i'm wondering if they just repeated what was written elsewhere or from the PR which didn't explicitly say whether it was just for germany, etc. (Although then the UK received it, etc.)
What us Wifi users are waiting on is when the 8010/8013 suite will be released from us, and so far, thanks to the success of the GN2 and GS3, we are what seems to be one of he last of priorities.

Does your data get wiped? It uses the same kernel i'm guessing?
It almost has to be a legal issue with Apple at this point. Portions of the trial are still ongoing so Its quite possible the Samsung lawyers are blocking anything that could fuel the fire, especially since Apple specifically moved to add the Note 10.1 and Android 4.1 to the lawsuit.
Sad that Verizon was faster on the s3 than Samsung was on their so called "flagship" product. Never thought that would happen either. At least I now have JB on something
Then why would Samsung continue to release updates to their US carrier partners such as Verizon with the gs3? The premium suite is essentially the same across the board with except of UI and how its implemented.
