Samsung China will test Note ICS in May. - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

Note 4.0 experience event
only for SAMSUNG employees who have an i9220(china) or i9228(china mobile)

I am pretty sure Samsung employee in other market got the same invite. This basically means two things.
1. Someone is going to leak out a copy of the ROM as soon as beta starts.
2. Official update is going to be end of May or early June

There's a separate sticky thread for ICS. You should posting to that.

Why would they say april/may if they are testing it in may?
Should just say May then.
April/May is more like end of april and 1 week into may

Today is September 23, no Froyo for Samsung galaxy s?

Samsung promised that today should upgrade SGS to Froyo, but nothing??
ROFLMAO!!
Nobody promised anything
No. Not today.
It's better that way instead of another crappy firmware and this time official. They will go to hell if they do that
Samsung just announced that there will be no froyo for galaxy s. Are you happy now
Hi vlad,
As reported in several other topics, September 23 was less than a rumour, Samsung never said officially that this was "Froyo day".
AFAIK what we know by now is that T-Mobile branded SGS should be upgrade before the end of the month (which could mean even on 09/30), and it looks like that no brand SGS won't be upgraded before mid october.
Again, what we are talking about are just rumours, there's no official date from sammy.
Still I'd rather wait few days more and get a decent firmware.
edit: please try to make a search next time, before posting.
totally useless to open a topic about something that not happened,

I do not know. No. Yes.
Lets just wait for it when it comes. Lets not speculate. Let Samsung build a decent firmware with all the important fix especially to enable JIT. I am happy with JPH for now.
not in the development child forum! dewdoodude.
The only official statements from Samsung (in facebook) is End of September for UK, End of October for Spain, India,... T-Mobile also stated End of September for their clients...
Saw some statements from users that contacted their operator and in some cases it will be available this week....
Definitelly it will not be released Worldwide at the same time. Patience.

+1 Agree. I'm Still with the official JM2 and I'm not in a hurry to get Froyo unless it fixes the pending issues.
(I hope this is not the same as Micro$oft and it's Windows Vista. )
The morale of the story is to be happy with what you have (eclair) and don't wait for froyo.
Otherwise buy some other phone which already has froyo.
Keep waiting... Maybe we will get froyo during christmas. Presents from Samsung.

For waiting the official froyo, i just flash the jm8 with rom tatayuma....
Even with the 'end of September' comment they still didn't say which year.

Haha Verry funny, maybe 2012 when at the end of the world
Quoted from Samsung Mobile Singapore Facebook:
Hi Muhd, our local R&D team have not passed the Froyo software as yet. We are trying to rush HQ to send us the new software for testing. Realistically, we would expect some delay with this week being the Korean Thanksgiving holiday week. We will keep everyone posted on the timeline as soon as we get confirmation.
Hi Weijian, we would love to but these are all controlled by our HQ in Korea. This week being Korean Thanksgiving holiday week does not help. The current Froyo software being tested locally is not satisfactory so there is a good chance the official release to end consumer will be in Oct.
The Koreans are in holiday. Not froyo day apparently.

Great work by sammy actually!! its just a matter of time before we get the leaks....
I am looking forward to this like the rest of us. However we need to take into account that delays (ATT i897 Gingerbread) aren't necessarily Samsungs fault. Quite often it is the carrier that causes the delays. So for those that are on ATT for example may have to wait longer then the rest of the world. Hopefully this is not the case.
Actual news came from. ...

This could still be 3 months away though, that's ages!!
Yup, Q1 is January to March. Who knows we might get it on the 31st of March
At least samsung is quicker than lg, it took them a whole year to update the optimius 2x from froyo to gingerbread. Really looking forward to ICS, hopefully it will land late January early February. I'm sure we'll have CM9 sometime in January.

+1. I was shocked when I read about the Gingerbread update for the O2X being released recently. I assumed all along it had Gingerbread. Shame on you, LG!
Speaking as someone who had to wait well over a year before my last phone *finally* got freaking Froyo (and was told it was never getting Gingerbread) this is a welcome and ambitious announcement. Here's to hoping Docomo can get on the same page as quickly as Samsung.
Looking forward to this - but I am still a noob enjoying all the custom roms the devs have to offer.

Yeah, that's ages,but be honest... do you REALLY need this update? I bet your phone works perfectly and you still would be absolutely happy even if ICS didn't exist yet.
Seeing as we're already getting leaks, I would be surprised if the official ROM for international users would take that long to come out.

Why do you think that? The current status rather clearly points to a february/march release.
Current leaks are unstable, so probably a month more development for decent stability, then comes a period of wider testing (all different carriers and Samsung sales companies in different countries), probably some certifications made in parallell as well. Now we're in end of january or later...
Then some bug fixes once again after these tests. And some additional tests of course after these fixes.
I cannot see any possibility for an official release before mid-february, probably a bit later in March.
But of course, the leaks in january used for wider tests might be pretty good for all-day use, so if you don't require official releases you don't have to wait that long.
What a clever way of "stealing" us 3 months...

Because its not like the devs on here that do these things on their free time - the developers at Samsung working on the port are paid to do so, its their job, and they have to work on it several hours a day, every day.
But I might be an optimist. In any case, I'm sure a good enough leak will come along sooner than expected that is beneficial to the devs.

Agree - my SGSII is rooted so I got rid of all bloat-ware.
It's fast and battery is good
They say Q1 now, but if we look back at the updates they have done before they relese a update, that breaks something, then pull it again work on it for a month or 3 before releasing it again...
But that have ofc more been a kies problem then a update problem. Can remember when i had the Galaxy S and that got the GB update, that left the users in download mode, when updating over kies...
Samsung said:
Ice Cream Sandwich brings an entirely new look and feel to Android. It has a redesigned user interface with improved multi-tasking, notifications, Wi-Fi hotspot, NFC support and a full Web browsing experience. Ice Cream Sandwich also features a new People App which lets users browse pictures, messages and social network updates from friends, family and co-workers.

Does this mean that the leaks are non-indicative of the actual update, and we will indeed get ICS launcher/TW5?

Tip-Off: ICS Upgrade for Indian Users

Just thought I should share this with you.
I cannot guarantee or verify the authenticity of this tip-off. Nevertheless, I have learnt from previously reliable sources (their news about SIII was correct ) that
Samsung will commence rolling out ICS upgrades to its Galaxy Note users in India, starting tomorrow i.e the 15th of May, 2012.
Update would be available via the official Samsung Kies application and is rumoured to be around 400MB.
Stay tuned for more!

Thanks for Sharing....Was waiting for this a lot...Germany ICS seemed to have a lot of bugs so what about ours??
If a Kies upgrade has happened recently, then I guess its possible. Else will just have to wait it out till day end tomorrow. Thanks for the news though.

Its out for the SII.
No reason why it shouldn't come to the Note as well.
p.s- don't say thanks on the posts. Click on the button
Was just on the verge of moving on to LPY!! Glad i stumbled upon this thread. Lets hope the indian release is relatively bug / brick free.
Cheers

We still have a ICS sticky for this sort of speculation.​

Official Jelly Bean 4.1 Update in India Rolled Back

Samsung India has confirmed that the Jelly Beam update for Galaxy S III is no longer rolling out in India. The update reportedly contained bugs and was creating issues for those already updated, thus Samsung has stopped the update.
Company is currently looking into this and is likely to release a fixed update soon.
Samsung had originally started the Android 4.1 OTA update around two weeks ago.
Here is the email reply sent to one of the many S3 owners in India.

I'm starting to hate Samsung even more now. Wondering if purchasing the Galaxy S3 was a mistake and a big one at that, this being my first android phone. To anyone thinking about buying the Galaxy S3 or any other samsung device for that matter, please don't. Samsung's headed the Apple way, and we all know Apple sucks major d**k. Samsung also hasn't release the souce code for the Exynos, resulting in no stable aosp roms for the international version.

Tone down your outburst please. In any case you arent married to the S3, get yourself another device if you are so pissed about it.
And yes, folks here already know about this news (!), and they dont give a rats a$$ since they are busy flashing XXELK4

Exactly. While Samsung Exynos aren't as dev friendly as Qualcomm , etc, atleast they are way ahead of most other Manufacturers when it comes to updating our phones or atleast giving enough leaks.

So you're moaning because they pulled a defective update, and because of that you'll never buy a Samsung phone again? I think the sooner you do that the better for everyone.

OneUi 4 beta release? I wana be the 1st batch tester for now

Yes If you own a s21. Unfortunately no news on there being a beta for note 20.
Might be delayed til October for S21 family.
One UI 4.0 beta delayed till October over bug concerns with stable Android 12 potentially set for late December release
Samsung has yet again delayed the start of the One UI 4.0 beta program, but this time till October. Apparently, the company is taking its time with bug-fixing, a decision that will likely see the Android 12 stable release put off until late December or early January.

aaaaaaaaanddddddddddddddddd nevermind the above article. One UI 4 beta is official for S21 series as of today. Hopefully we get some love in the next couple of weeks.

Hope so... There wasn't a new Note this year, so Note 20 still must be the actual mode. At least, I think so. I'm ready to catch the beta, once is out. If everything work like have to, ofcourse haha
You really want to torture yourself with a slow, buggy beta. Some of your apps may or may not work, good lock modules will be non functional. Any custom theming with synergy/hex won't work if you use that. I did it last year with the previous note and don't think I'll be doing it this time.
Also, note, the official way to sign up is through Samsung Members app. If you sideload the beta, you're completely on your own.
Any update on beta availability for the N20U?

Sadly no, they're working on opening the beta to the s20 series now, so we should be next hopefully by the end of the month, if not, probably not until official release by the end of the year

Sadly the note series seems to be repalced with the Z-Flip 3 and Z-Fold 3 this time round. They will be getting the beta next. No news of the Note series getting beta....
