Still no update

Anyone any idea when the update to 2.3 will be out for the SGS I9000??
We where told that it would be 2 weeks but that was over 2 months ago. I wish Samsung would ever get there finger out.
Version: PDA:LPA/PHONE:JPP/CSC:JP7 (MET)
Also my son has the Gamaung Galaxy Apollo that was also due an update and still nothing. He is running on 2.1

next week, 10th, 2.3.4 with TW4 is coming =]

I know this is a modding forum but the information behind a statement isn't called the source code. It's called the source of information

I had a bit of a glitch with my SGS, which was running 2.2.1 official via kies (uk, unbranded release) As i had warranty, i sent it off to be checked, and had been gone for a few weeks now. When 2.3.3 was released and then pulled from kies, i had only just sent my phone away. Just got it back 10 mins ago, and what do you know........i now have 2.3.3.
kinda interesting since samsung pulled it from official sources before warranty even got hold of my phone. So i wonder how they are getting hold of 2.3.3 (unless they paid ol samfirmwares.com a visit) No issues so far though, going great

That's the version i managed to update to using kies before the update was pulled.

Some service centred had the 2.3.3 released before kies thats how XDA got the very first copy .

this is what i thought may have been the case. But if there was a genuine problem with 2.3.3, hence it getting pulled, i wonder why places kept it. In saying that, there are people out there that havent experienced a problem at all running 2.3.3. Just thought id share anyway

So if they pulled it then it could be some time before we see the update on kies.
I wish they would ever get a move on.
I don't want to root my phone.

Kies will get update after Samsung pass it to the phone providers and they customize as they want .
Rumours that no 2.3 update are more than likely untrue .

Why?
TW4 would be a valid reason to postpone the update a bit (plus bugfixes from 2.3.3 plus Google Talk voice chat implementation).

Sorry, but why would Samsung include TW4 in SGS when they have just released SGS2?
Anyway, if you want TW4, there are plenty of custom roms that have it.

Because they wont sell more sgs2's then sgs's, thats why..

Well, all should have realized by now that the stated "camera bug" can hardly be the reason that SGS users still have to wait for the update, it's been too long now. They simply realized that there are a lot bigger problems with it and listening to my friends that managed to get the 2.3.3 over KIES there is much room to doubt Samsungs official explanation.
If you're lucky they go for 2.3.4 (which you can only hope for because 2.3.3 has a nasty SSL library regression), but considering they released the S2 this week I don't think they care too much about the S1 for that to happen... only time will tell.

They were just using the Xperia Play as an example of the diverse device ecosystem that is Android, NOT on a list of what devices will receive Ice Cream Sandwich.

I dont understand the point of wasting money debranding it, your phone is still unlockeable from bootloader, and if we are based on the same terms, its likely that off any direct updates that factory unlocked phones will have.
A debranding on a carriers phone is only a makeup, but will not affect in any way SE updates or changes, because they are likely based on your IMEI

I just realized, I think that image is misleading I mean the HTC EVO and Droid 2 and even that cheap LG thing. I don't think they are getting icecream they don't even have android 2.3.

who really gives a **** about unlocking bootloader now there is nothing out there yet i did it just to get completely away from rogers bull**** and plus its only 15 bucks to give a try which i dont really care about.....but maybe you do

Just got the info that Xperia X10 will get gingerbread so why Xperia play wouldn't get ICS...
Of course it will
Remember defragmenting android and globalization tools, apps and games for any device!
All that to **** Apple Isucks

I'm a distrubutor and according to my sources in SE, they will update to ice cream - both neo, play and arc.
It's said that they won't do the silly mistake again in not having the newest os available to newer modells. (x10/mini/pro - 1.6)

in the OP picture, the Play was shown to illustrate the fact that there a variety of devices running different versions of android on different hardware, enforcing the necessity of one single version of the android API's to simplify development and reduce fragmentation.
There is no promise of ICS.

Bell Atrix 2.3.6 OTA is out

Apparently, Bell is rolling an update to 2.3.6 on the Canadian Atrix.
Source
Don't forget to follow this guide to capture the update and post it back in the thread for other people to mod/analyse.
Lots of people are complaining that they can't update, so it might take a while for the update to roll out to everyone. The Bell Motorola XT860 4G also got the 2.3.6 update today.

Got it applied already.

And about that picture, supposedly that there is no change to the colour scheme. For some reason that picture is just screwed up due to whatever screen cap app they were using

I got the update thismorning in Vancouver. So far I havent noticed any changes.
*edit
Apparently the changes are minor, none of which are cosmetic.

I don't know if the deal is still on, but BestBuy Canada used to offer 20% rebate if you brought 2 mobile accessory. With 3 mobile accessory, you get 30% off the whole order. I brought a car dock and a HD dock + a 1.95$ BB case that I threw out the window. Came out quite cheap ... Docks are not on the website anymore but they still have some in the mobile sections in stores.

has the radio been extracted yet for cwm?

nothing yet in Edmonton, but i'm hoping the new radio solves my battery issues
edit:
this is the update release notes page (directly on motorola):

For phones in which the bootloader is still locked, do you know if this patches the exploit used for root by Pete's Bionic root method?

from reading on one of the forums the official push should be tomorrow (December 14, 2011). So I'll be waiting for update

Thanks for the update info guys. I'm still rocking 2.2.2 because I'm not feeling the look of GB on the Atrix. Also and MUCH more important, because of the extra battery life reported with Froyo.
Now if the Atrix gets ICS, I'm probably gonna get a little weak in the knees and update ASAP...

Sent from my MB860 using xda premium

To be honest, i'm more interested in the performance of the radio than anything else. Being a rom junkie, the stock updates vs high performance roms that frequently get updated are more attractive to myself. But the only way we get new radio's is with stock updates. SO....hows the radio performance? has anyone done any speed tests? Also i'm guessing it's too soon to judge the battery consumption with the new radio?
cheers!

Just got pushed to my phone. I'll be testing the battery performance today. I usually get a max of 12 hours a day, so any improvement is desirable.

" Samsung UK is working hard to bring Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) to our Galaxy S II customers. We are unable to confirm exact dates as the software testing and approval process is subject to several variables, but we are working as quickly as we can. Thank you for your patience."

Q1 eh?

I'm actually glad it isn't out yet and they are testing rigourously.
The official ICS in other countries are absolutely shocking. Its CRAP. Buggy can't believe they called it official and released it. ICS is simply not ready and if it takes them to actually say screw 4.0.3 and wait for 4.0.4 source then I'm fine waiting. Because ICS options on SGSII isn't anywhere near good enough. Last Gingerbread update blows it out of the water.
I'm happy waiting. Even until Q2. Tbh there isn't that much of an "upgrade" for us. Maybe a few features but can the SGSII get any faster?

I completely agree with the principle although in this particular case Android Police mentioned
The APK, uploaded by XDA member ecs1984, is signed by Google and upgrades your existing Play Store. The cryptographic signature guarantees that the apk was not tampered with in any way and is therefore safe to install. Use this download if you'd rather have the latest version rather than having to wait for Google to randomly push it to your device. Download and install it just like any other APK.

I assume it's safe to get it from the links in Android Police's article at least.

Its all about risk assessment, without any obvious advantage why consider it.
How many times on this forum do I read problems people are having from "latest versions" Official or unofficial ......when actually the previous one worked just fine.
Always let the over eager people do the testing.

Exactly... i fully agreed on what had been said. I have problems after installing an unofficial google play app last month and i need to reflash the whole rom....

If it were ready for release, Google would push it out to us. As they aren't, I doubt it's ready.

I got it 2-3 days back.
I think phoenix rom might have embedded it.

I'm one of the people who do not really like Google updates, as I had some issues before with Youtube and GMail updates, so i decided as long as there is no error i'm facing with the version that i have, i would not consider new Google updates until i see a major change that i like.
Regarding the issues that I had with GMail and Youtube, they just did not work properly after an update that Google released many weeks ago, and nothing really worked even after restarting the phone and all the basic troubleshooting steps, no emails were coming or going and the youtube videos kept on loading till I uninstalled the updates, afterwards everything went back on track.
