As i have been looking over the web, searching Asus's FB pages, there were some answers when TF101 will get ICS update.
But the problem is because different Asus people answer us differently.
NOTE! All quotes are from their FB pages, you can check them out.
Nr.1: From: "ASUS North America": soon. Its in the process of being approved by google. once that is done we will be able to push it out to you guys.
Nr.2: From: "ASUS": Possibly Feb. No confirmed dates at this point. -Mark, ASUS
Nr.3: From: "ASUS Serbia" Lepa vest za korisnike Transformer TF101. Ice Cream Sandwich za isti se očekuje polovinom februara. (meaning: we get it in mid Feb.)
So, what do you guys think? We get that ICS in mid feb, sooner or later?
I kinda bet its gonna be later than that
Signed.
id say somewhere between next week and mid February.
How about when we get it, we get it. There are so many threads dedicated to this topic already.
I don't think it will be mid February that's for a Serbia. I think Asia asus might be closer to truth.

I would have to say that this is just one too many threads about this update. Geez!
close this topic, asus has already announced the ICS update will be sometime during the last week of January (which also includes the first week of February). We can only wait and see if they are accurate.
Anyone think we will get strawberry shortcake before Dec 2012?

The Mayan didn't say anything about SSC. So i would say no.
Asus NA is right for NA consumers. Mid-February seems correct if you're living in Serbia. It has nothing to do with NA consumers since the launch appears to be staggered based on location.
So for NA consumers it's "soon". End of story.
I think it will come when Federer wins the Australian Open. Or when Nadal breaks another knee or something.

Although I can't find it right now, I remember reading one of Asus's facebook comments that said the US and Taiwan will get the update at the same time.
Asus Italia said at the END of february.... Anyway i think it will released at the end of this one.... i HOPE
Only when asus hears no more complaints from disgruntled transformer prime customers unable to update to ics due to "unknown serial number" debacle.
I suggest all those who are complaining daily about the delay of ICS jump over to the prime forum and see how much fun they are having with the ICS update. Yes I would like the ICS update, but not at the expense of the problems the prime folks are having. Maybe it is best we don't have it just yet.
Can't wait!
I voted never.
I dont expect anything from modern capitalist companies who care about numbers and not persons and dont give a damn about customers who created the base for the prime and the future autobot and so on....
the same applies to samsung with galaxy s and ics.
the 40 million that put samsung in the mobile map.

That's a lot of hate, but i agree, if I were to own this company i'd do everything for charity, making a profit is overrated!
I don't know how focused they can be on updating the old-gen Transformer, but I guess they will update, since both are catering to different market segments, and you might want to get the cheaper TF101 if it's good enough for you even with the TF201 out.
That said, I'm sure they'll be using the Prime as an ICS Guinea pig. I voted for mid-February, and I guess we'll get several minor updates after it's out (whenever it's out) for bug fixing (as it's been the case so far).
Damnit Asus... Yesterday they said "Awaiting Google approval", and now they're saying Mid-February...

Countries where it has been launched
South Korea,UK,France,India,Chile.
Australia launch 1st June & other countries to soon follow.

Please remember SGS 2 launched in India doesn't have a NFC chip

Samsung track record in India is very good,you can more or less be sure for April Launch for SGS 2 in India.
i dont doubt that it will be released in april in india. i just said it basically confirms that all the rest of us will indeed need to wait till may
whuat!!!... how come it gets launched first in India
wow! this is the first time
usually UK always gets all the new releases

Dont know for sure, but my guess would be they will be getting the Tegra version while the UK / US waits for Exynos.
Yaay...time to start saving... am assuming it will launch towards Apr end...good thing this news popped up. I got so impatient I nearly sold myself on the galaxy s...
Only thing is price will be around 35 k probably and then drop to around 32 k within fifteen days...:-(

Why do you think so that just US and UK gets Exynos? :|
"In the coming month" means April 30th 11:59:59 pm.
Awesome news. Hope it comes to the UK soon after. Am going to get rid of my IP4 for this bad boy! I don't need too many iOS devices in my life
We haven't been told if it's coming to Orange however, but were always told really late just before launches
Samsung Mobile Spain has confirmed on Twitter that SGSII will have an Exynos in spain and I have read today that SGSII will have an Exynos in France too. So we can think that all european countries will have Exynos.
Maybe the Tegra 2 version is for some minors markets like Russia.

Russia? Maybe... but Russia isn't small market. There are also many rich people and luxury lovers.
I don't want to predict anything, but Tegra might go to Latin America, Africa, middle east and some Asian areas.
I'm really hoping the US will get a Tegra 2 version fairly soon.

i have a hunch the Exynos will be more widely available than the "nvidia" one
there is a problem all the time with ATI / Nvidia chipsets, they always gets forgotten after a while (no drivers updates or available to the public)
so the Exynos will the the chefs choice, as we'll have the open source to keep building on them
It should have been Nvidia all the way,,reports are cuming that Europe will get SGS 2 with Samsung own Orion processor & Asia region getting SGS 2 with Nvidia
I am too waiting for the Launch of Galaxy S II in INDIA. Hope Samsung India will get it soon...
Add an 's' and the meaning is quite different. 'In the coming months' makes much more sense than 'In the coming month'. That would also give them at least 2 or 3 months. 'In the coming month' just sounds strange and is super ambiguous.
I am, and I'll tell you why.
Samsung hasn't even started building a GB ROM for our phone, and that's kind of weird to me, because I would think that they would have something.
I don't remember where I read this, and this could be wrong, but doesn't the carrier has to request the update, and then the manufacturer builds it? (I can be COMPLETELY wrong, so don't hold me to this) If that's true, then we may not see a GB build, because T-Mobile USA wouldn't request it.
Tell me what you think, because this interests me a lot.
Where did you get this info? that they haven't started the gingerbread for us.

There.
They posted the GS4G leak, the Cappy leak, and they have a leak for the Epic 4G.
since there have been no vibrant leaks, it automatically means they have not started building it?

It's not that, SamFirmware stated (and I honestly believe them, if they found all these leaks for other phones so quickly), that there's no Vibrant (SGH-T959) build, which could mean A LOT of things, possibly something as simple as Samsung is really lazy and doesn't want to upload it, but it would mean more.
I'm just saying, I don't know what's up, but I'd like to know more.
And they probably won't, at least not in the near future since there are a ****load of new 4G phones coming out in the near future. The Vibrant is old news already like yesterdays dirty laundry. Technology advances faster than you can fart.

I noticed that as well. But you have to remember that T-Mobile plays real dirty. Remember when we had 2.2 leaks back late November (JK2)? It didn't become official until #NeverAgain made such a huge PR mess for them that Samsung & T-Mobile had to release it. But it was up until then, that T-Mobile didn't want to update out phones because of the pending MT4G & SGS4G release, dirty mfers...
By the way this issue gets more complicated now with the AT&T merger. AT&T strongly believes that updates are not good for business. From their point of view if they don't do updates it gives users more reasons to upgrade to new phones.
So if TMo was borderline crap about this already, the adoption by AT&T is only going to delay things further.
What does that mean for us, enjoy the awesome roms on xda and forget about TMo.

Just read da tweets someone should just port from 4g to us
Ya boy
Ya, but Google kind of helped us all out with that. Its not up to the carriers if a phone is going to get an update anymore. If Manufactures want to use Android they have to abide by the 18 month update cycle this goes for carriers too. They have to provided updates to newer versions of Android during the first 18 month of a phones life. Our Vibrants really only have six months left of that 18 though. So don't expect an official Ice Cream Sandwich update. I wish google had been enforcing this rule back in the days of the original cliq and cliq xt. The poor XT didn't even get an update out of 1.5. I think Google has gotten tired of all the negative press that manufactures are developing because of the unwillingness to update phones. Of course as you we all know a lot of this has to do with carriers not wanting these updates or their need for unreasonable software packages they want add to the update packages.
How shock i am? Look at this pic.

Hmm I don't see it as a problem, well at least as long as we have the vibrant 4g, I'm just waiting for the sgs2, then I'll be gone
Well we cant be mad at samsung as its not there fault its tmobil. Most of us will be moving to hercules or sgs2 anyway so no worries crying over this in my opinion.
Yeah, I think it's time to accept the likelihood that Samsung/T-mo won't be providing much further development or support for the Vibrant given the new product lines. It doesn't mean it'll be obsolete though. Thanks developers!
what does it matter? theres literaly pages upon pages of custom rom's out there that are 100000x BETTER Then what any company puts out in the first place.
im pretty sure for a big majority of people here the first thing they do when they get a new phone is wipe it out and start over fresh.
what is it you want exactly, a bloated gingerbread rom from samsung full of **** you dont need or use?
what a useless thread

Just because you have a bigger font, and added color's won't make Asus care any more than they do now. Frankly its annoying to look at.
I for one wan't ICS badly but maybe they are trying to make it "perfect" since the update for the Prime was a disaster. For that reason I'm content in waiting for a finished product than something that I will come back on here and complain about.

I mean come on folks, Asus is ahead of the curve as other tablets are slated for Q3 http://www.slashgear.com/asus-transformer-ics-upgrade-sags-to-march-16213753/.
So if you want to go out and spend another $500 just to say you have the latest, well go ahead, and stop the crying on the forum.
Very happy to wait another month and have a smooth transition to ICS
The Mods might as well start another similar thread for all Jelly Bean, since there is already one thread started.
I love my Transformer. I'm very keen to see it updated to ICS though. The main reason is that I want to see what the ROM guys do with it, rather than what ASUS gives us. I'm paying close attention to Paul's progress as well.

TF
if they realease ICS early to Asus TF, do you think TF user wanna upgrade to Prime? I don't think so. They will improve ICS on Prime first before they do anything else.
Anyway, i love my TF whether with ICS or not. I already use ICS using Nexus S, so i can wait ICS for TF until they release the best stable ICS without bug.

Dear community,
I'm italian and yesterday I called the Samsung's customer service, just to "test the water" about the release time window. The one on the other part of the line told me what we already know, that there is no ETA about the RELEASE date of the update. He told me another thing though:
The update is already done and it's being rolled out for the various devices, in chunks.
I then insisted on asking at least a vague endline, and he ended up telling me that I could send my tablet to Samsung ('cause I've got a no-brand one) and pay for the upgrade RIGHT NOW!
My idea is then: is there anyone willing to send his or her tablet back to samsung and pay for the upgrade? I can't as my parents use it daily to read the newspaper. We could make a collect to pay the volunteer the support costs.
P.S.
I've got a P7500 (WiFi+3G) tablet, and the customer support guy talked about this, unbranded version. I don't know about any other model.
if this is true, then please take one for the team, get your tab updated, then please pass me the rom
i can use camera from it and could also refresh video from it.
pay for it?
no way in hell
Oh ya forgot that line. Ya u shouldn't have to pay for it, for sure.

Never heard about paying to get sooner an update that's going to be released for free...
I think he didn't know what he was talking about or there must have been some kind of misunderstanding on his or your part (no offense meant).
pay to update? not sure what Sammy is smoking lately.
I'm sure payment for the "upgrade" will be through wire transfer, and you'll never see your Tab again.
Perhaps it was an attempt to upsell to a Samsung galaxy tab 2 which already has ics. Apple does the same thing were you can sell back your Mac for an upgrade. Otherwise, maybe they meant send it in for repair and it would get the latest update. I work for an OEM and we update every phone that comes in.

hey way slow the conversation
I just reported what the consumer support told me. I don't think he was misleaded in the conversation, we were talking about Android 4.0, specifying it has been sent to the GS2 first. Most probably Samsung simply doesn't want to let its servers collapse, nothing more, nothing less. Thus, being the software already developed, they already have the ICS in their support centers and are able to upload it in the tablet. The cost is not for paying for upgrade, but simply 'casue it's not an issue, thus it's a payed job.
It was simply an idea to have the official ROM before the official release date

It was simply an idea to have the official ROM before the official release date

Mmh, quite hard to imagine that if this was the case the ROM hasn't been leaked yet...
Of course, I hope this is true
Can't be true! I think a double check made by someone else in another country could lead us to interesting developments of this "news"....
Someone in a different country interested in a phone call ???
CS reps surely have never BSed anyone before. Never.
What was the price that they offered to get it done? Perhaps I will give them a call some day soon to see if they give any update for us Canadians

So, on Nvidias twitter about an hour ago, they replied that Android 6.0 Marshmallow was "possiby" coming to the Nvidia Shield Tablet.
I wouldn't say we should get our hopes up, but again this is a "possibly" straight from Nvidia's official Twitter page, so who knows!

Nvidia Shield Tablet info (Found in replies to above tweet)

So yeah, @NvidiaShield directly replied that we could "possibly " (note the smiley face haha) get 6.0. But who knows, after the recall and all I wouldn't be surprised if Nvidia stopped caring about our Tablet.
I think it's a platform they're looking to grow, and the only thing stopping them from furthering the advancement would be a shield tablet 2. But if they know anything about gamers, we like a company that cares about our old hardware so it would be in their best interest to keep our hardware up to date. The same way that HTC is releasing Marshmallow for the m8. They don't have to do that and it would be understandable if they didn't.

Agreed, the portable was updated recently as well. I think as you said this is a long term play for Nvidia and as much as the battery issue was a really pain they will continue to support the tablet.
I am not sure if we will ever see it officially go back on sale, or if a version 2 will be released first...but either way we will see 6.0 sooner than later.
?
Hey guys, chances are getting higher for 6.0! NVIDIA just anounced a New tablet called Shield K1. Its nearly the same as ours now with same Hardware. This means, new device=New version of Android (i hope)
Androidpolice are stating " It's currently running Android 5.1.1, but NVIDIA already plans to push Marshmallow to it (along with existing SHIELD Tablet units) by the end of the year. " regarding the new version of the shield..
Nice christmas present if they hit that deadline
And for once, a UK price that isn't a straight pound for dollar swap. £149 v $199
Have any details appeared since? It seems to all be attributed down to a single tweet.

Marshmallow was guaranteed for the Shield Tablet 2. I believe before Christmas. The Shield Tablet 2 has identical hardware to our tablet aside from the stylus which means the software is more or less interchangeable so expect the upgrade to come roughly the same time for both tablets.
If it has identical hardware, does that mean [email protected] will be possible on our older shield tablets?
as that was something they said they would add to the newer tablet...
Weeks later and still no information from nvidia.

I tweeted at their official Nvidia Shield twitter account to ask for details on the Marshmallow update for the K1. They only said, "We're working on something! "
At least they're working on it. I just wish we had more details.

Damn, it's sounding like it's really not a priority.
It really isn't... More than likely they have another tablet coming out.
