An Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Samsung Galaxy S II and Galaxy Note is slated for a March 1st release, according to mobile industry insider Eldar Murtazin. Murtazin posted a tweet claiming the official update would roll out next month, though availability will vary depending on country and carrier. He also said that the Android 4.0 update will be made available over the air or using Samsung’s Kies software. Samsung previously announced that an Android 4.0 upgrade would be coming to the Galaxy S II, Galaxy S II LTE, Galaxy Note, Galaxy R, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy Tab 8.9, Galaxy Tab 7.7 and Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus.

Samsung Offers Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich Upgrade for GALAXY devices
Just read on Samsung Norway's Facebook page that ICS for the Note and the SII will be released at the end of march.
"Samsung planlegger å lansere Android Ice Cream Sandwich til Galaxy S II og Galaxy Note mot slutten av første kvartal i år. Når mer info kommer så legger vi det ut her på vår Facebook-side!"

"Samsung is planning to release Android Ice Cream Sandwich for the Galaxy S II and the Galaxy Note at the end of Q1 this year. When we get more info, we'll post it here on our Facebook page!"

So.. now we know!
Yes!!! Cant wait.
Hmm, just noticed that i posted this in the Q&A section. Feel free to move it to General.
Not good news for me. I can't keep the same phone for 3 months! I'm sure I'll be back eventually though.
waiting for alpha release...
Yeah I wonder why we haven't seen a leak yet :-(

Hope so, cause after the 2.3.6 and La4 update when I go through the home screens they lag and jerk, they were so smooth and quick before the updates

I can't stay with the same partner for longer than 3 months either.
Whoops, wasn't the figure of speech I was going for.
I hate Samsung. They are doing this 4.0 firmware terribly slow. They don't care about us. All that interests them is money.
Why Huawei did 4.0 firmware so fast for 'Honor'?! Official and final release, but samsung can't even release alpha\beta of ICS! [mod edit - watch language].
I think Samsung Norway is just playing it safe.
Samsung announced Q1, why risk a backlash by promising a premature date. I highly doubt Samsung would choose to make such a statement through a Norwegian facebook page..
That being said.. ICS is probably not coming till late march in any case..

GALAXY NOTE
New status from Samsung Norway (they answered some questions)
(translated)
1. Ice Cream Sandwich will be released for the following devices at the end of Q1: Galaxy S II, Galaxy S II LTE, Galaxy Note, Galaxy R, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy Tab 8.9, Galaxy Tab 7.7 og Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus.
2. ICS comes with Touchwiz!
3. No, Galaxy S Plus will not get ICS.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I'm sure they are working on Touchwiz 5 for the GS3.
I really expect some official ICS news from them next month on MWC.
Like Asus did with their transformer on CES.
It will be a long wait,this Gingerbread OS thing needs a drastic change on our GNotes and soon.
Patience is a virtue that many Android users get to exercise when it comes to waiting for carriers and manufacturers to bring their smartphones up to speed with the latest Android flavor.
The wait for Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich is over for some Canadian folks, since Samsung Canada announced that it has started rolling out the ICS software update for Samsung Galaxy devices. The update will be available on select devices starting now and will continue to reach all devices and carriers.
Samsung devices that can soon hop aboard the Ice Cream Sandwich express include the Galaxy S2, Galaxy S2 LTE, Galaxy S2 LTE HD, and Galaxy S2 X. Tablets aren’t forgotten either, since the Galaxy Note, Galaxy Tab 7.0, Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus, Galaxy Tab 8.9 and Galaxy Tab 10.1 will also receive the ICS update soon. And yes, we’re every bit as surprised as you are to see the original Galaxy Tab being listed there.
Rolling out an upgrade across so many variants and carriers takes time you know, so don’t be alarmed if you don’t see it on your Samsung Galaxy device today. Some manual checking won’t hurt either if you want to somewhat speed up the process, though the fresh new version of Android will still be heavily adorned with Samsung’s TouchWiz. Also, keep in mind that the rollout depends on the good will of the carriers too, so your mileage may vary.
Hopefully Samsung Canada’s move will be followed soon by their US counterpart. Samsung has already detailed last week which devices will be eligible for the upgrade, but failed to mention any specific dates. Interestingly, unlike the Canadian list, the original Galaxy Tab 7 isn’t on the US list.
So, have you received your ICS update yet? Tell us in the comments below.
There wouldn't be any sense in downloading the Note ICS update that's being pushed to canada because it is for the LTE note which is a completely different device than the one you presumably have if you're in this forum.
Not the right place bub!!
Canadian Update is not for N7000!!
OTOH
Wazzup Ganjaman!!

Jonathan Garisto ICS is coming soon for the galaxy tab 10.1 right?
Answer from Samsung:
Samsung Mobile Canada Jonathan Garisto It is definitely on its way for your Tab! Thanks for being patient!
again, no date provided as of yet.
There is already a thread for exactly this, you should add the news there so we don't have multiple threads with the same info. but yeah, the other one does need some cleaning up.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1656550
So basically, you wanted to start a thread, in a forum (which is designed to hold discussion) then tell us we can't discuss anything in it? I think you might have this place confused with an RSS feed.

If it gets too far out-of-hand, I'll lock it.
A small amount of cleaning up is ok but I'm not going to waste my time on a lost cause.
Frankly, you'd be far better off using the wiki for stuff like this.

Hopeful because the Tab 10.1 is the following :fingers-crossed:
See first posts for updates
The Samsung Galaxy Note 2 may soon see an update to the latest version of Android. The latest rumor points to a Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.2.2 update in May or June, along with a Galaxy S3 4.2.2 update.
This is good news for owners of the popular Galaxy Note 2 and Galaxy S3, but it is likely that this update will come after the announcement of Android 5.0 (Key Lime Pie) at Google I/O on May 15th.
Samsung recently pushed out Android 4.1.2 updates to several versions of the Samsung Galaxy S3 and the Galaxy Note 2 is also running Android 4.1.2 on some carriers.
The latest news comes from SamMobile’s twitter account, claiming the Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.2.2 update and the Galaxy S3 Android 4.2.2 updates are coming soon, specifically in May or June.
Samsung did not announce which features specifically will appear in a Samsung Galaxy note 2 or S3 update, but based on leaks we expect Smart scroll and the Smart pause feature to make an appearance. We may also see further support for Multi-View on the Galaxy S3 in the U.S. and enhanced motion control.
In any case, expect a three-month wait for the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 Android 4.2.2 updates to hit the U.S. carriers after the initial release. According to an alleged Samsung leak, the Galaxy S3 and Galaxy note 2 are also in line for an update to Android 5.0, but the timing of that rumored update is unknown.
