When I was looking for a date when the Galaxy Tab 10.1v would get an update to Android 3.1 i found this link.
http://mobile.downloadatoz.com/tuto...-1-8-9-7-to-update-android-3-1-honeycomb.html
Can it be or not? Can't even find the download though.
Do you guys know when Samsung will release 3.1 officially?
This is most certainly fake. First of all the picture doesn't even have honeycomb on it. Secondly they say that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be the first device to get 3.1 while the others are waiting just to get gingerbread 2.3.4
Two things wrong with that, the xoom already has 3.1 and they are comparing a tablet which will get 3.1 eventually to other "devices" waiting for 2.3.4 which are smartphones which will never get 3.1 because 3.1 is intended for tablets and google tv.
This is one of those crap put together sites with misinformation.
He's absolutely crazy if he think the Galaxy Tab 7 is getting Android 3.1 anytime soon (if ever).

I am not sure, but I am hoping the update is out by June 8th when they release the Samsung 10.1 in US.
I can at least give you somewhat good news. Android 3.1 was released last Friday in the US on the Motorola Xoom. So it is officially out and I am assuming and hoping that it should be released shortly on the Samsung.
According to Samsung's official page, Galaxy Tab 10.1 should release with [the TouchWiz UX layered over] Honeycomb 3.1
http://www.samsung.com/us/article/the-next-generation-of-galaxy-tabs
Obviously 3.1 is very new, but I can't find any other Samsung source confirming that it will ship with 3.1. Most pages still say "3.0"
Has Samsung truly changed their ways as far as updates? With 3.1 being announced only a month prior to a device's release, they're now claiming Tab 10.1 to be introduced with the latest version. This is awfully quick considering it took about a year for Froyo to hit their Galaxy S handsets.
Hopefully this bodes well for future updates, too (I'm looking at you ICS).
Interesting ...
I am curious about the Book Cover accessories mentioned there.
Anyone know how does it function and look like?

3.1 is considered a minor update to 3.0. That's why it is still referred to as Honeycomb. It is not the same as the update from 2.2 and 2.3 where they gave them different designations (froyo and gingerbread) and the API changed a lot.
I noticed that too (about the Book Cover). I have a suspicious feeling it will look eerily similar to the Smart Cover for iPad 2 (same goes for the 10.1 itself) -- to be honest, I would be happy with that .

I get that it's a small upgrade, I was just surprised that Samsung isn't going to release it as an OTA a few months after the device is for sale, as that has been their modus operandi for their current Android devices (save for the Nexus S).
Hey,
OK I keep seeing all these different variations of names.
10.1
10.1 v / v3
google io 10.1
I was under the impression there are only 2 versions. The limited edition and the regular one? I I bought the one in NY so which do I have!? Haha, and both have been rooted, but the ny one cannot be updated to 3.1 right?
Troll away if necessary, just please explain
I think this is answered elsewhere but the short answer is
10.1 The new one being sold in NYC now and everywhere (in US anyway) on June 17. Android 3.1 not rooted.
10.1v An older version sold in Europe (?) for Vodafone (sp?). Android 2.3?
Google I/O Similar to the 10.1 but given away ahead of launch to Google I/O attendees. Android 3.0 (soon to be updated to 3.1 if not already) and rooted..

10.1 correct

10.1G is same as 10.1 just diffrent print on back cover.
And system they running at this moment: 10.1 and 10.1G have 3.1, 10.1v 3.0

That's not 100% correct. In order of announcement:
10.1v - Announced at MWC as the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (not the 10.1v). It came loaded with Honeycomb 3.0.1 and it came only as 16gb 3g model. It was later renamed as the 10.1v after the announcement of an new 10.1 at CTIA. It was given to Vodafone as a worldwide exclusive (hence the "v" in the name). Is is a very different looking tab on the back (Google image search "10.1v"). It has no ports other than the Samsung 30pin proprietary port. It is thinker and heavier than the new 10.1 at 10.99mm and 595g but is by no means thick or heavy. It also featured an 8mp camera. Note that Vodafone is not just in Europe. Has not been upgraded to 3.1.
10.1 - When the iPad2 was released Samsung went back to the drawing board to make it thinner and lighter than the iPad 2. It was announced at CTIA as having an microSD card slot (which has since gone missing) but was mainly cosmetic changes to beat the iPad2. Notably the camera was reduced to 3mp but the display was upgraded. This is the version that was released in the US and is listed on the Samsung US website. Released with 3.1.
10.1 Google i/o edition - Is the same as the 10.1 but has an exclusive android logo white back but is very smiler to the 10.1. It was given out as a gift to 5000 attendees of a Google conference known as i/o. Has been upgraded to 3.1
Changing the name of the first 10.1 to the 10.1v has caused major confusion. What should be known is the 10.1v is still a really solid Tab and not some old crap model as some people here have said. Yes, I own one.
This info should be stickied
Another noob question: Is there a difference in the firmwares for these devices?

No, It was 5000. Feel free to look it up.
As for the firmware they all have straight up, no overlay Honeycomb but 10.1 and 10.1v firmwares aren't interchangeable if that's what your asking.
Omg. 5000 at about $400 (if not more) a pop. That is a shipload of dosh.

They refer to Verizon. What about WiFi-only GT 10.1 devices? ICS this yes? LOL
The Verizon version will have camera drivers which are basically all that is lacking from making CM9 perfect.
I think it´s sad that the mobile providers are this slow pushing new software to their customers. Google already moved on to Jellybean :-/
Still no ICS? Bahhhh

As a former Fascinate owner, hearing Samsung say "soon" brings back some bad, bad memories!

Chances are it'll look exactly like 3.2, but with ICS features like face unlock and swipe away recent apps tucked away.

So... do we start calling this tablet an "orphan" by Samsung? I didn't want to regret moving away from Google's "Nexus" line when I bought my TabPro 8.4, but... how long are we going to be stuck on 4.4.2?
It would be great if we got an upgrade to 4.4.3 or 4.4.4 along with some bugfixes. Since it looks like an HTC-built Nexus 8" tablet is coming soon, if by the time it comes out we're still stuck on "NG1 4.4.2" I might have to re-consider my options...
If anyone has any news on this subject it would be great to hear!
Also, out of curiosity, what version of Android is the Tab S currently at?

What exactly are you missing in 4.4.3 or 4.4.4? They both are pretty minor updates. All Samsung's high-end tablets from the N10.1-14 on are on 4.4.2 so no one has something you don't. People who put a high priority on updates shouldn't buy devices with an overlay.
is any Samsung device running 4.4.3? To my understanding the Tab S and Galaxy S5 are still on 4.4.2. The cosmetic updates in 4.4.3 won't be noticed since Touchwiz covers them up anyway. I read Samsung implemented the 4.4.4 security patches in it's own separate firmware updates.
Well, the webview enhancements in 4.4.3 improve performance of any app which uses webview.
Also, pretty sure I saw quite a few mentions of various other Sammy devices getting 4.4.3 firmwares uploaded onto sammobile.com which was starting to irk me.
As long as I get android L I'm happy

The biggest problem I have with it isn't the lack of an update, but the sluggishness of the OS. It's an octa-core processor with a 1.9gHz clock speed on four of them! Also the Wifi was better on my iPad 2 than on this brand new device!
Should've chosen something with a Quallcom processor, then I could have some decent custom ROMs...
A 4.4.4 update came out yesterday (9/10) for my T-Mobile Galaxy S4, so hopefully that mean it'll come out for the Tab Pro soon. The update does not update the UI. I'm not aware of a 4.4.4 update for other S4 and the S5. I believe T-Mobile pushed the update because it includes a new in-flight (airplane) text function/service they'll advertise next week.

The issue in my opinion is the show of support from the manufacturer, giving us the latest update is a sign of good faith whilst not doing so, esp after 7 months shows they don't really care about tab pro users.
There is NO Galaxy Tab with Android >4.4.2 - so why do you moan they don't care about Tab Pro users when there is no newer version on newer tablets (e.g. Tab S)?

Once Samsung have your money they really don't give a damn about supporting your product.
My Galaxy W (i8150) was abandoned by them within 6 months of release and never received an update from GB to ICS even though similar age and spec models by them did.
The S3 has been dumped at JB 4.3 because they can't fit all their bloatware into the KK ROM.
The TabPRO seems to be EOL after less than a year.....
It's par for the course with Sammy unfortunately - which is why we are lucky to have such an amazing amount of support from Dev's on XDA.

I don't expect to be able to hold the 4:3 Nexus 8" tablet in one hand, like I do with my Tab Pro 8.4.
I also imagine it won't have an SD Card.
But the regular OS updates to seem tempting.
My hand gets tired very quickly when I try to hold the Tab Pro 8.4 in one hand, so I don't see the Nexus 8 being any different in that regard.
I'm only using 900MB of the 64GB SD Card in my Tab Pro -- 62GB free.
Reason is, there are barely any apps I can move to SD card, and even then there are side-effects like the icon won't stay on my home screen so I end up just moving them back to main memory. Also I have Google All-Access Music so I don't need to keep lots of music on my tablet. And for videos/movies, I use Netflix and PLEX so no need to keep videos locally on the tablet. So obviously, i'd be ok with a Nexus tablet without SD card slot. ( But I would still try to go for a 32GB+ )
Also, i have some minor build quality issues with my Tab Pro 8.4 -- in particular there seems to be some very minor "squeaky/creaky" noises when I touch certain areas of the touch screen or around the bezel. Not a serious issue, mind you, but in contrast both my Nexus S and Nexus 4 have zero build quality issues.
Hey, I saw on twitter today that the "T-Mobile" version of the Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014) is getting a 4.4.4 update soon!
Good news, right? Becuase it means the GTP version of that firmware update may be coming up soon afterwards. At least for the GTP 10.1" version.
Not sure about the GTP 8.4, it's pretty different from the Note 10.1 ...

Just use a custom ROM and you will have a newer version. I have already lost faith in Samsung for their software.
I have a new slogan for Samsung, "It is, what it is". You could follow that with "take it or leave it" I bought my gt p 8.4 with no expectation of any updates. If I get one I will be thrilled.

Is the latest always the greatest?
Not always!
Do you remember SD card disaster with 4.4.x?
Samsung has a great upgrade program. Every time a new version of Android is released, they release a new tablet running it.
But seriously, I'm not too concerned about 4.4.2 to 4.4.4. I would rather they develop a Lollipop release. Fine with me if they take a couple of months to get it right. I'll be needing it on the Tab Pro 8.4 and Note 10.1 (2014).
