EDIT 11th May 2013
May be, just maybe Samsung listenened and JB 4.2.1 is here
It took a year for this to happen, which is not good enough for a premium tablet.
Sadly, I don't have this tablet (or any tablet al all), but I maintain no more Samsung for me at least for now.
I hope those who do, enjoy the enhancred performance that Project Butter brings.
INITIAL POST BELOW:
According to a list released by Samsung, the 7.7 is NOT getting a JB update.
If that's true, this is the last Samsung Android device I will have bought.
Disappointed
Yea dissapointed too, big question is why?! Are they preparing android 5.0 for this tab??

If no JB so far why would we expect Key Lime Pie on or tab at all

Now that would be very disappointing! Why the 7 plus getting JB and not the 7.7? If samsung is reading this, you gonna need to re-think why the 7.7 is excluded from JB!

Ahhrg!
The only thing that a HATE mad in Android is the fact that is the manufactorers who choose if you gonna get the last version of Android or not.
I have a LG Optimus Black and the Galaxy Tab 7.7
I´m on 2.3.4 Gingerbread in OB (no prevision to take ICS)
And now I receive this notice that my Tab will not get Jelly Bean!!
you can imagine how frustrated I am!!!!!!!!!
Disappointed too. Do you think it its related to the European ban?

As someone who's on the Verizon 7.7 and still on HC, I'm more than disappointed.
I have a feeling that Samsung looks at sales numbers and sees how many 7.7's there are on the market (not many), and then does a cost-benefit analysis that shows that the cost of having developers put time into 7.7 JB development is a waste of money. And it's really their fault that this thing isn't more ubiquitious since it's a great piece of technology, but for whatever reason, they didn't price it aggressively enough and this is where they ended up.
Hopefully we'll have some decent JB ROMs, but at this point, I'm still waiting for ICS.
All we can do it put our disappointment into action - make your next tablet a Nexus, 3G/4G be damned.
I'm on Verizon, too. There should always be a provision to install a stock Android version so if the Touch-wiz modidifcations stop coming at least one could try to update to next Android.
I am perfectly happy with ICS on my Tab. I only count on one upgrade per device. That is alll I have ever gotten on my Samsung and Motorola devices.
We should make our voice heard, because there is no reason for our tab to miss this update.

I dont know if its good or bad not to have JB, anyway it lags, ICS on galaxy s2, s3 works really smoothly but not on this tab... So if we could get JB and it will lag, whats the point?

if jelly bean will bring such bugs (of ics) better keep my lagy, microscopic text,... Honeycomb till the last day of this tablet ^_^

I use my tab 7.7 with and without WiFi every day without problem ranging EDGE to H+ in reception, not sure about how the modem/baseband fairs in other countries but here in sweden with both Telia Sonera and Comviq/Tele2 it works well.
No lag for me (except with certain thrid party widgets sometimes), been testing a couple of JellyBean ROMS on it and tbh it doesnt make my 7.7 fly or print money or anything like that so i dont really see why, appart from the looks, anyone NEEDS JB except the fact that it looks cooler and that everyone think they need the latest and the greatest for their device... just to let 2 days pass after the update and start screaming about samung sucking "cuz i aint gettin mah kay lame phie"... teah the tab cost quite a few bucks, but it works pretty well as it is.. and if one doesnt like it.. sell it to someone that might like/love it and buy some other "better" brand and start to whine about that one not getting each and every update
That said, i am quite surprised Samsung didnt announce JB for the 7.7, and also the list didnt have more than 4-5 models some month ago, who says that 7.7 wont be added to the list next week/month.. but then again i dont think this model has sold enough for Samsung to spend the money on the update.. yet, plus they have a bunch of new models they want ppl to buy..
Also if you reeeeeally want JB, just root and throw in a custom rom, sitting on this forum its not hard to find a guide on how to do it.
This is really bad from Samsung Tablet premium class not to participate with the official Jelly Bean but others such as GT2 Plus and has a lower hardware and the display. It is a shame but not bad because there are alternatives, such as PA, CM10 or my Nexness PRO and all: 4.1.1
thanks god we've got some rich developers who own this piece of technology
Ps : just kidding, i am also a poor student, but i doesn't matter, cause i really like my big investment

I personnaly don't want any custom roms. I want the official stock roms. So this annoys me a bit, as I'm sure jellybean on the 7.7 would get a bit more out of our 7.7's

No sir, the point isn't crying about new updates, the point is, did we paid for this to let it run stone age operating system? why in the hell a 5 years old iphone still receive updates and i don't? do you think apple charged their customers more than Samsung did?
to be honest, i was happier with my old (sold) gt p1000 running gingerbread, on this one am waiting for a Samsung human developer to do something about the text size! (because honestly i don't think they used humans to test this before pushing it to the market) not those of xda, they aren't paid for that, and no body should blame them because they are doing us a favor for sharing their work with us. Samsung developers are paid to satisfy my needs, why should I give them a rest?
No sir, if my device is able to run the latest operating system in the market, so i want it, and i want it now.
if they are willing to ignore our expensive devices, ill sell it and get something else (Microsoft maybe?) note that I may lose some bucks, but Samsung may lose the market
as for the wifi, if it wasn't so important, why would I pay 6 times for a simple Kindle ebook reader, at least this one does exactly what it supposed to do without updates
I need to read from the net, that why i need my wifi working on ICS, and then on jelly bean.
and then i want a phablet dpi, i don't care about tablet UI, and if others do, Samsung can add a dual UI, Tablet and Phablet (that what android is, choices)

This is absolutely ridiculous. Our tablet came out in November of last year. It's less than a year old, and Samsung is dropping us already despite being a member of Google's so-called Update Alliance.
Guess Samsung hasn't changed at all from the old days.
If this pisses you off like it pisses me off, maybe we can shame them if we complain enough on their Facebook and Twitter pages, I already did:

In the end, if Samsung drops us like yesterday's garbage, at least we still have our great devs here, like we always have.
I feel very lucky to have the developers!
Updated the post with the Samsung Facebook and Twitter feeds that I complained on.
With Samsung's "galaxy this and galaxy that" devices with different hardware specs you cannot expect the samsung team to come up with updates to each and everyone of them. That is a big nightmare.
As for me I will never again make a mistake in buying a samsung device. Support for an expensive device from samsung really sucks!
And to discover later that the device is not really up to quality and seems "untested" thoroughly adds to the disappointment. Example is the warming of the GT after some time of using. I have to mention that after using a rival tablet(I won't mention the brand) no similar warming happened .

I would be just happy with sammy providing a official rom for the latest gb. I am asking even ics.
So I recently started thinking a lot about the fragmentation and it is whole mess. Everyone not just google is to blame. I will hardly consider getting android again until this gets resolved some way.

After the official Gingerbread update for the GT-P1000 I am kind-of glad that Samsung are not touching the ol' 7".
I too prefer to put my faith in the development community. Look at Technomancer's CM7 port. That ROM really kicks some ass.
Opensource FTW!!!
We know that the Galaxy Tab is a powerful device as much as other devices that has been upgrade coming soon. This movement isn't good for Samsung because everybody will not trust in them. I think they have the best hardware in the market, but actually there are other companies that have work too hard, as Sony Ericsson.
shame on samsung

Used the Galaxy Tab P1000 before... changed to EVO3D (Asian edition cannot be hacked)... regret it to the max... who the hell wants to unlock the bootloaders from htcdev.com and void their warranty.. .definitely not me...
HTC, nice build quality, but really for a 1.2GHz dual core, it still kind of laggy... probably my hacked out Tab P1000 works much smoother... plus, with all the hacking and flashing and bricking my device TWICE, still manage to get warranty repairs by Samsung...
had the EVO3D for only 2 months.. just got rid of it and bought the shiny new Galaxy Tab Plus... this dual core tab really kicks some ass... and manage to root it easily...
multi tasking on the fly.. do you see the bar at the bottom, click on it and easy access to mini apps over your current running apps.... Nice...
I am never a brand fanboy, been using HTC since like forever, but the increasing "LOCKED" bootloaders philosophy by HTC is getting on my nerves... they forget, many gadget freaks are buying Android phones for their "customization and being open source"...
at time being, will stick to Samsung, and will put my faith on XDA developers to bring this device to the next level... long live XDA Developers...

Same here. Never had a Gingerbread update here in Australia (but that's my carrier's fault, I think) so jumped straight to Overcome and haven't looked back, apart from the odd dabble in CM7 and a quick run with Honeycomb.
I'm more than happy to wait for the devs to release an ICS build which will probably end up better than anything Samsung could've done anyway.
Samsung Italy has reportedly confirmed which of the Korean company’s Android devices will receive an Ice Cream Sandwich update, with models such as the Galaxy S II and the Galaxy Tab 10.1 each supposedly in line for a 4.0 upgrade. The Italian arm of the firm listed the GSII and the Tab 10.1, HDBlog claims, along with the Galaxy Note, Galaxy Tab 8.9, Tab 7.7 and Tab 7.0 Plus as all being eligible for a tasty frozen treat. However, don’t expect it any time soon.
According to the report, the updates won’t begin until Q2 2012, potentially six months after Samsung’s Galaxy Nexus goes on sale. Samsung confirmed to us last night at the kick-off of the Galaxy Note European Tour that the oversized smartphone would get Android 4.0, as reported in our Galaxy Note vs Galaxy Nexus hands-on, but said that, since the company had been working closely with Google on ICS, they expected to beat competitors to the market with upgrades for existing devices.
(Source :http://www.slashgear.com/samsung-android-4-0-ics-updates-in-2012-reportedly-detailed-28191699/)
I hope, we won't have to wait that long...
Waiting 6m+ would be a joke in my opinion - the GS2 is the leading current Android phone in performance and sales, for it to take so long to get 4.0 makes the whole platform seem a bit weak seeing as by then we'll presumably be in the midst of hype building for iphone 5 which would a) have new features ics doesn't have and b) copy anything worthwhile from ics.
I don't believe extended Nexus exclusivity does either Google or Samsung any favours at all...
i don't like to wait.
i read somewhere that it wont get 4.0 until after the galaxy s3 is released.
me too think so. Galaxy S got gingerbread update only after S2 released. So.... I doubt it might be the bad wait more news coming soon...
But anyway v will get it wont v.
Or if v need it faster CM will always be there to help us

For me, is the joysticks support. I have so many usb joysticks, but none of them are working right now on GingerBread.
Initially I heard ICS for S2 coming next year only, thats fine looking at time required to test stability but throwing the it in Q2 is ridiculous!

Won't Samsung have had ics to develop the galaxy nexus? If so wouldn't they have been developing the upgrades for their phones, negotiated as part of the deal to make the nexus phone?
I think galaxy S2 will be the first to receive the update before any other device, firstly Samsung and Google worked extremely closely on some of the software aspects of ICS namely the Camera app and the launcher itself, also the Galaxy nexus share some hardware components with the Galaxy S2.
Also lets face it the Galaxy nexus is underwhelming specs-wise except the Screen of course (Even though it's Pentile).
Don't forget that Samsung also want to sell a LOT of their nexus device and making it the only device in their range to have ics makes complete business sense. They've sold lots of sgs2 already, time for the nexus.
I know it may be a little frustrating for us, but as someone has already said, we'll get it much earlier via a leaked ROM.

Q2 2012? F**k me...
What are people doing with their phones to make them slow and desperately need ICS? Am I missing a free hookers and drugs app?
I agree we will get within weeks of the launch whether it be from Samsung or an AOSP ROM doesn't bother me because the one main gripe I have with AOSP ROM's is the lack of hardware acceleration and the absolutely terrible camera app, Samsung's Touchwiz is hardware accelerated which is why it is so smooth.
It does make perfect business sense to delay ICS for the GS2 but people don't buy the "Google Phone" because of its specifications they buy it because its the "Google Phone" the one advantage of doing this is the quick updates, other than that there are far better devices, the Galaxy Nexus isn't even released yet and its already outclassed by devices such as ours that have been out for over 6 months.
ICS and the screen are the only saving graces of the Galaxy Nexus. needless to say it will still sell extremely well because as I mentioned its the "Google Phone".
Our beloved tablet Galaxy 10.1/10.1.v never going to get official JB upgrade by Samsung!
Source Link:
http://www.slashgear.com/samsung-details-jelly-bean-upgrade-roadmap-and-its-not-all-good-24248943/
I know this is not Android development post, but I just want to make sure our beloved developers know the news, and they are the only ones left now that can bring fully functional JB ROMs to our tablet. I really hope they can start spending more time on JB ROM development.
Your justification/reason for posting this in the development section is definitely not sufficient.
I am disappointed by Samsung not upgrading GT 10.1 for three reasons
1. GT 10.1 was released *after* GS2, and GS2 gets JB.
2. GT 2 10.1 is so similar to GT 10.1, that if Samsung just pays a little more effort, they can upgrade GT 10.1, too.
3. GT 10.1 was a flagship device, just last year.
Probably it is because GT 10.1 did not sell well as Samsung expected, due to iPad or all that Apple legal stuff. Well, but I can still enjoy GT 10.1 as it is (4.0). And I hope Samsung would release a bigger and faster one (like 12 inch or something). Then I would sell GT 10.1 cheaply and move on to that device.
Well it is ok, i hate touchwiz as a lot of people and we have good developers that will bring CM10 full functionally, but it is mean that probably we will have problems with drivers for futures updates.
start a facebook and twitter protest along with a youtube video
I bet they will pay attention. At the least force them to release the code so others can develop it.
The points made above are very valid.
I though part of the Google agreement was devices had to be upgradeable for up to 18 months for something like that.
You think a company like Samsung would have learned from Microsoft to make their devices and software work for all of their hardware just like installing MS Windows across different brands.

That is what Google stated at I/O 2011. So this makes me wonder... 18 months from when the GTab 10.1 I/O released (March 2011) or when it released in the US (June 2011), international (July 2011;not sure cause I didn't pay attention to that release). We are within that window when they said that JB will release in Q4 for the listed devices. We are DEFINITELY in that window from when JB was announced.
That will teach us, samsung is fast abandoning devices as well as releasing them. Note to self, next time stick to everything nexus.

I agree about touchwiz, but you have to think like this: they need to release JB, so that our developer can get all the required drivers for camera and other stuff. This makes development much faster. If you check current Alpha/Experimental CM10 JB ROMs, front cam not working.
I felt really bad when I read the news, because I still really like my Galaxy Tab 10.1 even if it is 1 year old.

Yes but i think 3.1 kernel its only for P7500 i have the P7510 wifi version, someplace i look for an experimental kernel 3.1 but microphone doesnt work.
Samsung are truly morons with this crap. The Tab was my last chance with them and they just blew it.. This was their 3rd strike. My 2 year old Nexus S 4G with 512mb of RAM gets an official JB upgrade from Google (and runs great) yet the tab with a dual core and 1gb of RAM Samsung decide to skip over. Google is all about getting the most out of a product and Samsung (who ironically makes the Nexus S) is all about getting the most out of your wallet.
I had a hunch this was going to happen, but I'm still annoyed. Not so much because I can't just root, etc..... but the fact that they've given the finger to those that bought it while they support older products still. Samsung was even present when Google announced the "Android Update Alliance". Um........... atleast give us working drivers, etc.

The 3.1 kernel Samsung released is for both P7500 and P7510. If you're running official ICS now, you're using 3.1 kernel.
Figured as much.
But, my Tab with ICS and Nova launcher absolutely rocks, so to be honest, I'm not really that disappointed.
Still a geat device.

it is official news from Samsung. I just need to find the official press release link and post here. They did not say no JB for Galaxy Tab 10.1, but they did NOT included it on their JB road-map for this year and next year, so this should tell you something, unless Samsung decides to include it at last minute.
The only comments seen publically are from sites other than samsun. Sammobile is not an official site and their source was not samsung either. Suggest you all calm down. Besides, it would be like expecting win7to run on a win 95 computer expecting updates for ever more

But AOSP based jb has already been ported to 10.1 which makes it a vaible candidate since the hardware is good thus ur comparison is like comparing apple to oranges since win would never even bootup in win95 PC let alone run!

JB for the Note II has been out for a while now. Note II specs are remarkably similar to SGN10.1 specs. JB with Note II multitasking competes well with W8. The current configuration not so much.
So, open letter to Samsung. Time to push out the JB OTA now! You are going to start losing SGN10.1 users to W8 devices. Get your act together and OTA us dammit. This is a new device. We should NOT be made to wait like this. Pisses us off and just bad business for you.
And if you are delaying us just so your W8 devices can get a foothold you are going to have some unhappy early adopters on your hands.
Get it done.
P.S., This post will solve nothing but It felt good to vent.

Thing are done allot different in tablet mode than in normal phone mode so the fact that the note II has same hardware as note 10.1 doesn't make it easy to make a jelly bean rom for it, the interface is completly different

Nevertheless, its time to get 'er done. Samsung is making billions. Hire the software enginners and make it happen.

To those who would switch, it would most likely be a Samsung Ativ, so to Samsung it's the right pocket moving to the left and its still Samsung.

What concerns me is that we aren't even seeing any new test builds of the JB OTA with all the Note II goodies in them. You would think they would throw a few test builds out before the actual OTA release. Nothing on Sammy at all.
This makes me think we aren't even close.
just an fyi, but us americans aren't seeing some of the note 2 goodies on the note 2 yet. gotta wait on an update - no multiview is one.

We paid the price for the ICS and it has been updated anything else is just yet to come when Samsung thinks it's ready and or the right time for them.
Yes, it's always a good idea to try to put pressure on a company to release software they don't think is ready. I mean, we all know they develop things and just wait and wait for no reason before releasing.

Sadly, we consumers "pay the price" whenever we don't buy stock Android.
I totally forgot about CM10 tho :thumbup:

Yes we must pressure them. I have already withdrawn the invitations to my awesome birthday party.

Is this all apps or specific apps, if not, hope samsung releases whatever needs releasing to help third party app devs implement this feature on tw
Maybe we should start flooding their facebook site on the JB update.
sadly, i would bet 8/10 people have zero idea what operating version of android is running on the note currently out of the population that has it now. the general public is completely clueless when it
comes to android.

I wouldn't expect JB out anytime soon, with 4.2 out last night Samsung probably has to start with the OS base all over again but if they had gotten to the apps then at least those are a quick copy paste but with less devs working on the S3 and Note 2 version as it is practically out we will probably see the update coming through in December late November unless they give us 4.1 and we wait for 4.2.

My first generation note have come through allot of updates (2.3.3/ 2.3.6/4.0.3 /4.04 /4.04 with s3 touch wizard / and finally 4.11 jelly bean with full note 2 software features) I hope we will be treated the same way they treated the original note in terms of updates
Sent from my X10S using xda app-developers app
that depends on how many note 10.1 are sold note sold in millions and hence its still supported
There are a few threads about Jelly Bean being here at last for the 7.7, well, as far as I can tell, it isn't. It is here for the P6800, but nothing for the P6810.
Is there a cogent reason for this? Or is it simply another example of the ineptitude and basic incompetence of a company that has grown too large too quickly and is simply rolling on under the weight of its own inertia?
If anyone knows anything about (official) JB for the P6810 can they put me right?
It certainly coming this month, cant you think straight? Once they realease for p6800 they should do one for 6810 cause they arw the same
And the question you should ask yourself is why did you buh p6810 in the first place

3g model always get the update ahead of wifi model. No need to get jelly about the normal practise.

I'm still waiting for JB for the UAE..... Samsung has a LONG WAY TO with updating the 7.7 tab to JB. Probably won't see the official UAE rom until next year when Apple Pie is out.

:cyclops: Useful.
Why would I buy a 3g tablet when it is much more expensive and I have a smartphone to which I can tether?
Every so often it is nice to let off a bit of steam. Since the official UK ICS update has only just come through I don't feel too far off the mark on my coments about Samsung and a JB release.

Problem is that Samsung dev teams are fully under pressure as another department decided to spread out multitude of different devices just to overwhelm the market so there is no more places for competitors... ^^

It should come out in June, but of course this will vary by region, but a general release for some region should be June, hopefully.

You flashed an ICS ROM for P6800 on your P6810 and it didn't break it ??? ^^

Some of us don't want to spend the extra money for the 3G version, I can easily and freely tether my phone which has GBs of data tht I'd otherwise never really use...
I'm a bit annoyed too, why not release JB for both since 3G has 1 extra feature, just a matter of removing that and republishing it for the P6810..., kinda lazy Samsung...
4th June, still no JB on my p6810 :crying:
It sucks so much

Oh well...still waiting for p6810 JB...dear samsung...it's really time to update this tablet.
It should have been supported best of all galaxy tab beeing the only amoled tablet in the world and still it rules in multimedia departments and in term of outdoor display visibility and just to remember... It got a FULL rgb display completely no backlighted beeing an amoled plus so it really shines even in term of battery where the amoled advanced need to be backlighted not to wear rapidly...a world of difference

I feel you.
Unfortunately we P6810 customers are so far down the "pecking order" that we're probably fallen off it.....
JB will come eventually for our device model, this month, this year or the next ??
But it will come.

I hope it still comes out soon, because if it doesn't release before september for the wifi version, then there probably is a slim chance it releasing any time after that.

well, I really want to keep this tablet cause of the amoled display ... but it sucks to got still ICS on a so powerfull tablet that could change from night and day from a simple software update...I hope samsung is not going to release another amoled tab and is doing that just to avoid that people keep their 'obsolete' tablets.... I really hope NO... cause the p6800,P6810 are really WELL MADE and they sold them under their real cost of production 'thanks' to apple ban!
if this tablet was not banned by apple crying it could have sold out completely beeing the best made tablet still today ... the thinner one ... the only with a full Aluminum body assembled PEFECTLY!
that's a tablet ... now samsung give us the REAL software to move that thing
They just keep pushing the JB release for the 6810 further out........... Sucks cause I liked the 7.7 alot. But it might just be time to move on!
