Google and Motorola and AT&T have partnered to bring quick and latest updates to the Atrix for 18 months past release date! That means we'll be getting all os updates between now Sept. 2012!

In 18 months this phone is going to hopelessly old and outdated, no matter what software the release.
And I think that statement refereed to new phones.
There's another thread talking about this already. The answer is that it's not guaranteed. This only applies to NEW devices being released. Since the Atrix was release a couple of months back, this doesn't apply.
In 18 months it will be running the same version as brand new devices released during that time.

NOT TRUE! Watch it again, he said "..all new phones..". I would assume that means from today on out. They also used the words "hardware has to allow the update". So speculate all you want but dont post incorrect statements like they are fact.
Yeah I started my post, had to run and didn't know there was a similar post before I hit submit.
New and capable...atrix fits that bill.

No. The Atrix doesn't. Is it capable? Probably, but it's definitely not new i.e. new and capable vs. new OR capable.

Here's an updated Engadget article. If you notice they specifically mention that this applies to new devices only. There's no guarantee ICS for the Atrix, unless Moto comes out and says it. Anyway, more clarification on this subject would be great.

Theres no reason to worry if we get it or not. If we do then great. But why are we worrying about this when we havnt even gotten gingerbread. I'll be happy with a dual core friendly OS. By the time ICS is ready we will all be upgrading or upgraded already.
I think 18 months is when we are going to get the update

to 2.3
I'd be willing to bet 2.3 hits early to mid June. Not known fact but given the quickness they've already released updates for the Atrix, they really have little reason to hold out on this.

Would you be referring to 2.3 Gingerbread or ICS? Although google never gave ICS an official number (AFAIK), for all we know it'll be 2.3.X. If your referring to Gingerbread, that would make sense, in theory, but as Moto got Honeycomb early, for all we know they could have gotten ICS before Google oficially announced it and they could be putting the final touches on it right now. But that is all hopeful speculation.
More likely than not we'll get ICS around July to August.
Just my 2 cents.

I bet I can have 2 kids with the same woman before we get 2 updates to the core android os.
God I hate all the naysayers always trying to be negitive. There is a very good chance that this will apply to us.
I think Atrix does fit the bill. When the SGS2 arrives on ATT ...that would be a "new" release. Does that mean GS2's hardware is that much newer than the Atrix? If the SGS2 gets these updates...I'm sure the Atrix will too...

I wouldn't get too excited. They don't even know how they are going to accomplish this yet. It's nice to see an effort from carriers and Google, but this is just something they threw together to present at I/O. There are no details.

I need to amend what I said earlier. I have done a bit more research and have come to find ICS slated for Q4 so about then we should get ICS (October maybe? A birthday preasent for me? ). We *may* see GB in th July/August mark.

Atrix hardware will clearly support it. There will be newer phones released in the next 6 months...and pretty sure the hardware won't be better than the Atrix. How many dual cores are on the market now? Moto set the bar with Atrix...upcoming phones are trying to match it or make it look "better" by overlooking their chips
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
This is good news for us. The update is only for the International model of the Galaxy S2. With an official ICS release on hardware identical to ours, the talented devs over here will have something stable to work with. Check out phandroid for more info.

You do know that the details are also on Samsung's website as well right?
THought we get a ics update a month later? The china leak is fine until samsung release the notes ics. Hopefully a better leak will get released.
Wasnt the leaks for sgs2 used to patch up cm9 alpha build for note? I wouldnt expect stable until the notes version is released.
Until I've seen at least one more N7000 leak I doubt we're less than a month away from getting the ICS update.
I would expect to see at least 2-3 leaks for the Intl version before the real thing is released...
Here is the link to Samsungs anouncement for the SII

Worder why you guys talking about Galaxy SII in this forum, this is Note forum
because if GS2 gets ics,note will be next one.

You will find that Samsung have since released a statement saying march 10th is not actually confirmed so this post is now nonsense unfortunately. no date has yet been set for the release.
As someone has already mentioned I see! Didn't notice that before posting.
Like the title says, many devices are starting to get ICS, while this Google I/O Tab 10.1 is still stuck at 3.1. Will we ever get 3.2 or even ICS.
Cant believe they just abandoned this thing.
Might move to the transformer and never come back.
Any thoughts?

Officially...yes
But you can flash any custom rom that is meant for the wifi only version if the tab and it will work fine...even the touchwiz ones
Officially? Did they say something?
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
yes they did, use google you'll get an official statement...
in Canada, the 3.2 update was received not much ago, while the others had it a while ago. we'll most likely get the update after ICS...

Oops...sorry for the misunderstanding...I meant no...not officially..but you can flash a custom tom...they're pretty nice.
I've decided I'm going to sell this thing. Better get the Transformer Prime.
Am I missing something? As far as I know there has already been an official statement from samsung that ICS will come in the next months.
I bought this tablet just a month ago and my laptop hasn't been used since.
It is rooted but still on stock 3.2 honeycomb wich is working great.

Sure, but if you're only going to use official ROMs, no need to be on XDA. XDA is for folks who use custom ROMs; we honestly don't care what the official firmwares do (except when we need the proprietary drivers for the camera.... ahem...).
You were at Google IO and are complaining about waiting for official updates? People there were rooting the tabs during sessions and the roms came quickly after that. It was free and little was said from them about supporting it during or after the event.
I would abandon mine for a quad core Sammy with the Wacom digitizer in the Note but until then I'll just keep flashing.

Nice to hear it's in the works, even if it does take the US a few extra months after the i9300 does
I would think they working on it already, and I hope it only takes a few months, when eclair got update to froyo, the Evo 4G was the first one to get in two months frame, seem hoe eclair and froyo was back then, that's how it looks for ics to jelly bean, some things did get left out by HTC back them tho(like cloud backup of apps)

Either way you look at it this it's still good news.
The one thing I dislike is that some U.S. carriers may overlook the SGSII update to sell more SGSIII.
The reason being is that the SGSII variants for the U.S. launched less the a year ago. Which means there are a majority of people who are still locked in a contract.

Shouldn't take to awfully long being that jelly bean is based off ICS. ICS took longer to update because its a whole new build coming from gingerbread.

That makes sense but the carriers do what they want. I had an infuse 4g which is very similar to the s1 and it was only given a gb update after ice came out. It will probably never see official ics

Yeah but Samsung can be pretty disappointing with updates. Optimistically, I'd say it will be released in September but it'll probably be like late October or November.

I don't see why we wouldn't get 5.0. S2 has the same RAM as the S3 and that's getting it, so surely it's capable.
Unless marketing of course!

Samsung is saying that Android 5.0 will need higher resolution screens. That's why they are dropping support for various devices, even for Galaxy Grand Duos which just released. It is probably a big fat lie so we can probably expect CM to work on it.

I don't really care about 4.2, to be honest. Well, don't get me wrong, it's awesome that Samsung updates the S2 to 4.2.2, but that update isn't that interesting from what I've heard.

I can't see anything interesting going from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2. Not bothered at all.
Great news indeed. Lets now wait for official announcement from Samsung themselves.
the guys interested if they want to read the article, here is
http://www.sammobile.com/2013/03/18...roid-5-0-for-the-galaxy-s-iii-galaxy-note-ii/
i think its good news
I think 4.2.2 is no more needed for GS2…4.1.2 had enough function for us…maybe 4.2.2's only adv is battery saving…
However,sam is good enough for an old model to give so much updates…
sorry for my poor English…
I love how the masochists in this thread announce how they DON'T want or need 4.2.2. The attitudes of some people ...
Going from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 will offer significant upgrades. Not least of all the lock screen widgets and hence the ability to use Dashclock.
