Hi,
Great news on the roll out of ICS to the 7.7. Well some of them anyway...
So as to not loose track of any news and developments for the rest of us P6810 owners I thought it might be an idea to collect any info in a seperate thread?
Unfortunately I have none.
I have some information - If you choose to flash the 6800 f/w over your 6810 you'll soft brick it. Of course only an idiot would try this...
um...

I was just thinking I did have some info, but you beat me to it.
I'd also suggest to any idiot that does intend to try this, to first take a nandroid backup, then, once you've confirmed you have created a soft-brick, simply use Odin to re-flash CWM and restore it. This worked for me my mate.

I have been stunned reading around that some people actually did this!
I asked samsung and no date for the wifi only, maybe end of July...
It's so difficult to erase the 3g menus?
Thanks Samsung! Couldn't have made it straightforward and easy for everyone....
Yes, it totally makes sense not to release both at the same time
End of July? fail samsung if that is the case. ffs
Samsung sucks ...

probable because they are overflooded with these questions for EVEREY SINGLE DEVICE!
I wouldnt blame them, plus I dont think it will be a long time until youll have an update too!
Samsung suck. I wish there was more AMOLED tablets or the Nexus 7 has an SD Slot.

Totally agree with you guys, I ended up selling my 7.7 tab and pre ordered the nexus 7, I had enough of samsungs ICS promises and want the latest OS Jelly bean. I really loved the device, well built amazing screen and ooozzes quality but could not bear gingerbread any longer. Just shows great hardware doesnt make a great device, in my opinion. R.I.P Tab 7.7 I will miss you....
On the bright side ...
We wifi only owners will hopefully end up with a polished ICS version after all the issues have been ironed out of the 3G release :fingers-crossed:
Cannot belive Samsung have done this, would love to know the reasoning behind not releasing both versions at the same time. Even now its not going to be the latest version of the OS!
I think my plan is to see how it runs on ICS, and if its much better keep it for a while, until Google bring out the next version of the Nexus.
Am well and truly fed up of having to wait this long for updates!

Are you serious?
I am as ticked as anybody else here, but if it had been the other way around - if ICS was ready for the 6810 but not the 6800 - then I wouldn't want to wait while they finished up on a different device. That would be even more maddening.
It ticks us off because we are so close, but there's no reason for them not to release as they are able. And it'd be arbitrary to wait, too. When would that end? All of the tabs are relatively similar, so maybe they should hold all updates until they are all ready?
It's insanely frustrating that we are waiting so long on this when we paid so much, but I am happy for the 6800 users that they don't have to wait any longer (except for JB).

The above rumors that Honeycomb was going to require a dual-core processor have been denied! Lots of tablet owners wrote all over the internet (and in our comments) that they are worried that the next Android OS won’t be available on Galaxy Tab. A few hours ago, Dan Morrill from Android Team denied the rumors through a tweet saying : “there’s no hard minimum for Honeycomb”.
So good news guys, don’t worry, enjoy your tee , coffee, sleep and wait for Honeycomb to be released so we can enjoy it!
http-://xxx.thegalaxytab.com/2011/01/04/samsung-galaxy-tab-might-not-receive-android-honeycomb-update/
Old, old, news! This wasn't reported a few hours ago - it was a few weeks ago! See here.
FYI, this doesn't confirm that the Tab *will* get Honeycomb from Samsung - only that it is almost certainly capable of running on Honeycomb.
Regards,
Dave
Old. Also, tea not tee.
I think the fact that a new Galaxy Tab 2 is coming soon pretty much puts a nail in the coffin for a official honeycomb update. Who uses official ROMS anyways though. XDA will have one.
It's always good to have an official update. It's always a good mine of useful driver updates, mini bugfixes etc.
It also prolongs the life of the device: it'll be sold for a longer time, so it'll sell more, which means more devices and more interest in the wild, better and wider array of accessories etc.

Hey friends!! Like all of you i wanted to know if our beautiful device will eventually receive an update to Gingerbread 2.3 in the future, so as we (Pocketdroid) promised to contact SamFirmware. We got our answer and they said such update is "NOT planned," for Samsung Galaxy 3 Apollo (GT-I5800).
Short and precise answer from them which is very disappointing but at least now we know what to expect. Check the screenshot I've made with SamFirmware answer via Twitter account.

Humm, I don't know, I hope I'm wrong, but I see it pretty clear (No Gingerbread). Let's pray for CM7 port...
I think everybody expected that there will be no official gingerbread update
doh! very sad 2.2 sucks
that was expected, not surprising at all...what is sad is that many much inferior phones have got gingerbread...
I can understand Samsung but I'm very disappointed.
But why should they bring Gingerbread to our "low level" phone and support their expensive phones on the same time. They just want to sell their expensive phones so in their mind if we want Gingerbread we should buy a more expensive phone.

Exactly, that's the point. They provide a few updates in the first months/years of the "phone life", and then, all of their resources goes to the new or more expensive phones, and If you want the last Android version, you have to pay for it... in the form of a brand new phone. That's bussines. And it sucks

I'm waiting for ICS update from acer. Could somebody tell me the time when it starts updating to ICS? If there's an unofficial way to make it happen, please inform me about it. Thank you.
Sent from my A500 using xda premium
Probably 6 months. It will be on the newly released tablets first. Then, sometime later, it will be officially pushed to current owners.
But then again, nobody really knows except the manufacturers.
Experimental Roms, will be out before then. But NOBODY is going to personally contact you. You'll have to check the dev threads on your own
As of right now Acer has not made any announcements regarding ICS to the A500 tablets. But like it was previously said, doesn't mean we wont hear about it in a few months.
AHHHH its all over the net.. acer has said mid January.But that does mean for sure we will get it then.. they always seem to be a bit behind..AS far as the dev of rom in this forum..
I hope i am wrong but seems they are stuck with driver issue for GPS CAMERA AND CAMCORDER.. AS well as a few other things.. I think these are proprietary to the acer tablet. this could make us have to wait for acer to release a rom or drivers specific for this tablet .
so as said about . NOBODY REALLY HAS ANY IDEA. Blazing and his team are working very hard i would say send him some pay pal help..As we all have done.. .
READ THE forum before asking a question so common as this one. its been answered a Billion times in the last few months..
dont take this personal But SEARCH FUNCTION HAS BEEN CREATED TO AVOID THREADS AS THIS ONE..
GOOD LUCK..
I found a ROM called Thor v14. After flashing the ROM, It looks great on my a500.But I have no idea that the ROM is based on real ICS. Somebody told me it was based on android 3.2.

Strange to hear that it is slow as colleagues from 7500 forum are really excited with the speed of ICS update (and I believe that firmwares should be almost the same). Have you done full wipe?
Anyone else get this?
I'm one OTA behind, the incremental one that came in about a month ago never installed on my tab.
Thinking of going back to bone stock in order to OTA up to ICS and get the necessary files over to Pershoot but not going to do that if this OTA isn't really rolling out yet.

Yeah, about that--first boot left it somewhat sluggish when scrolling through homescreens & widgets, launching TouchWiz apps and responding to touches. But subsequent reboots seemed to fix that. Browsing in Google Chrome is a VAST improvement over the stock browser in 3.2.

I had checked with Pershoot on saturday and he hadn't heard from jake . . based on jake's past postings I chalk this up to someone being close to Samsung or Verizon development who's unable to share specifics but wanting to leak out a hint of info. Basically confirmation we'll get an update but still no ETA. I for one appreciate the heads up and will continue to wait it out as patiently as I can. Would love to be wrong though, and to find out that he is in fact able to send files off to pershoot. That would be fantastic.
