ICS to be released for Galaxy S2 on March 10

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

That's one thing I miss from iOS: instant updates. None of that waiting and uncertainty BS.
Galaxy Note FTW

so.I make a page on facebook:Samsung where is my ics?

Lol, I agree with the uncertainty it sucks big time. But, but wtf all of the Android phone company's does the same thing. The big mystery about Android is just that we never know what to expect, we might even get an alien biological phone from Google here next

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.

And the big news is?? Both get ICS sooner or later

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.

Yes this is getting irritating now no update of 8000 in india to samsung service sucks big times idiots are not sitting in korea but ****ting in korea

if the lower spec tabs getting it then samsung crossed the line with taking the piss

This is quite humorous, as I just switched from a Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 to a Galaxy Note 10.1, thinking that the updates would come thick and fast to the more premium unit!
How wrong was I!?!?!?!
lol!

I wonder if Apple's suit against the Galaxy Note 10.1 which is linked to how it will work with Jelly Bean has anything to do with the delay?

It's not set to go to trial until 2014. By then there will be a Note 10.1 2 or 3.

Jelly Bean 4.2 has caused a lot of issues for Nexus users. It might be a good thing Samsung is not rushing.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

No its not because if the Apple Suite if that was case no update would have been release and no we are not going to get 4.2 as we already have 4.1.1 updates rolling out and thats what we all will get

Well that is pretty disappointing to hear. Samsung have been pushing the note10.1 here in the UK recently with a big advertising campaign, I really can't see why they would be updating older products first.

Um you guys are aware that the 8000 JB OTA'S being released already work just fine with some minor fixable glitches on everything else right?
I am running the 8000 OTA on my 8013 right now with zero problems.

I agree. People may also see that the tab 2 is a second generation of the tab and think it is the superior product. Not everyone is tech savvy. I personally think Samsung is prepping a Note 2 10.1 to be announced in January that'll come preloaded with Jelly Bean. We may not see an official JB until then.
That's what my money is on. They just don't care about existing customers.

The Note 10.1 was introduced in August so there won't be another until next year. This is what Samsung does also with Galaxy S series, Note etc. Sorry for saying but there is no need to become paranoid due to the delay.

Congratulations note 2 on a tenth millionth mark....

From epic to...SIII or Note II?

Going to get my new phone in the AM, and I have a dilemma..
My wife is getting the SIII..that's a known factor.
I however am torn between SIII and NoteII...main problem being they aren't carrying any NoteII's at Radioshack right now, have to order them, and no telling how long it will be until it comes in (maybe by monday, maybe later).
Should I go ahead and get the SIII or wait for the NoteII? Anyone have any ideas on how the development community is going on these devices? From my eyes they look about the same...but honestly haven't had the time to do an in-depth research for it..
Your opinions would be appreciated.

I'm almost in tha same boat as you but mine is Note 2 now or wait for the S4. If I had to choose between those two i would go S3 from what I kno a lot of the devs from this went to that phone so it would be familiar names there and I'm sure the community is bigger but I haven't look to much into myself jus an opinion

I know xboxfanj went to the Optimus G. But most of the other devs went to the S3

Note 2! it will change your LIFE!

Well wouldn't you know it, I went to upgrade on the 23rd, and the Note II promotion had ended on the 22nd...jumped from $199 to $299...so had to opt for the SIII I wish I had been able to catch that promotion, but the SIII is pretty amazing, and my GOD the number of ROMs to try out are just mind-blowing, I think I'm on my 6th or 7th right now, and still have another 4 to test..development over there is crazy!

Ahem (just bought the SIII)...
No seriously, I bought the Epic when it was old (actually paid more for it than I did the SIII), and had it until, well, last thrusday...I bought the Asus TF101 right after the Prime launched...I don't like buying 'new' hardware, you never know what kind of bugs are going to be discovered for it. And the SIII launched last May, still quite new, at least to me
In the case of the Prime, it was a disaster and was quickly reissued as the TF700T and phased out..and my TF101 is still kicking hard..
Also, I am not a dev, so I'd rather buy a device that has a dev community already well-established. Something to consider, how long do you want to wait until someone discovers a root exploit and gets a good ROM on your device, unlocks the hotspot, and OH CRAP here's an OTA that bricks your device at worst or at best breaks root and you have to wait again to get root established before development can resume..
On the other hand, all your friends will think you are cool for the first month when you have a brand new, just-launched device that no one else has...I don't have many friends, so I go for the tried-and-true. Not the shiny-and-new.

I bought the Note 2 and returned it after a week. Happily back on my Epic now. lol
