I don't think there was any doubt of this, but it's nice to have a rough guess of when we'll get it.
There will be custom roms in the meantime but I suspect we'll lose a lot of stylus support.

Pretty sure I read somewhere that ICS has alot of native stylus support. But for S-Pen apps then yeah...

Yes, ICS has support for Pressure Sensitive screens.

I don't understand why everyone thinks the Note will get ICS.
Its just some blog that says so...
They even have edited their post now:
Update : is not official confirmation from Samsung Korea (the only one who can give the full official) but is "a hypothesis" for the next updates. Only Samsung Korea will confirm the roadmap of aggironamenti.
I say, the Note does not get an Official ICS...
Its far more logical that the Note II will get ICS.
NO confirmation, nowhere. Stop fooling yourself.

Why are you so negative about ICS? Secondly, note is a brand new device. Almost all devices from past 6 months must get an upgrade to ICS.

I am not negative about ICS. I would like ICS.
Its just not likely the Note will get ICS, and NOWHERE Samsung did say the Note will get ICS.
Its just some blog (looking for some extra visitors I guess), hearsay and such, and everyone thinks its going to happen.
Wait for an official Samsung announcement, than talk about "its confirmed".
And why "Almost all devices from past 6 months must get an upgrade to ICS" ??
Wishful thinking maybe?

Because otherwise it's bad PR. Android devices which are at least six months old have always been updated.

Think about what Samsung needs to do if they put ICS on this Note.
They spend a lot of money on marketing the Note, and its just about to get released...
If they would put ICS on this Note, they either have to revise all the marketing material, or recreate the exact same software on ICS, including launcher etc.
Even the Italian blog mentions second quarter 2012 as a date for a possible Note update to ICS.
By that time the market is also ready for a Note II with ICS 4.5

If they don't update to ICS, Samsung will have a lot of negative media about not supporting there brand new flagship devices. Which will result in a lot more of a loss than the gain. Plus they have to update TW to ICS anyway, they might as well put a bit of more effort and make it work for Note. And ICS can act as an incentive for newer purchases, people always like forward to buy newest Android OS. Galaxy S2 came out and still they are providing updates for Galaxy, why do you think that happens?

We will see.
But there is no official announcement or confirmation from Samsung that they will update the Note to ICS. Its just a blog, and they already had an "update" in their post, they are not so sure anymore.
So the title of this post is wrong.

As I said in another thread, it would be a PR disaster for Samsung to come out with a phone at the same time they issue ICS and not provide an upgrade path.. At thIs point I think you're speculating yourself, and you need to sit and wait like the rest of us and see what happens. My bet is you are very wrong.

I hope I am wrong.
But you agree there is no confirmation to be found, right ?
(And the rest is speculating)

Google requires all manufacturers to deliver updates for at least 6 months for all new devices.
So ICS should come to the Note.

Yes. In this case Gingerbread updates. 2.3.x updates.

i am pretty sure given the way samsung has been working these days.
However i dont have any confirmation.

actually, Google said 18 months. I am quite certain that ICS will land on any Galaxy S2 and after device. PR disaster. I mean look at the other KOrean maker, LG, they are not exactly doing great.

You clearly dont know what the hell you are talking about here!
Google wants that all manufactures update to ICS because of fragmentation. Google will update once a year like Apple!
The Note II maybe not coming at all if this thing does not sell. So they will update this Note to ICS. Every new phone you buy from Sammy will get 18 months of Support So that means ICS will come to the Note!
Mark my words ! Of Course they will not confirm this this quick because of the galaxy Nexus. It will interfear the sales of that phone!

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.

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.

Let's be Together For Updates And Source Codes

I opened same toppic in S3 General Forum also in here make support.
Hi there s2 owners. I have n7000 Galaxy Note. Last year i bought that phablet that were flagship device like Galaxy s2 they gived updates but now?
Maybe Galaxy s3 phone owners are happy for their updated phones. But next year things will be different many people gived too much money for their phones like us but next year same problem they will say in here. Thats also for you also for us. Push samsung spam their pages.
They are not giving answers Huawei giving more support more answers than samsung for their past devices.
Lets be together

Mate you are forgetting an important,essential difference ,although it is a sammy device the chip is developed by broadcom so it is broadcom whon is reponsible for such stuff.In our case our chip is exynos developed by sammy itself so it is sammy itself who.has to provide us with such stuff and not any 3rd party manufacture and as we know sammy are what they are.
This is the same issue that there is between international and usa galaxy s3 .International one uses exynos while the other uses Qualcomm chip

1% is not that big, especially for Samsung which is a billions $$$ company and diversified a lot, so lose 1% there, gain 1% there, etc.

I quoted that not because it was a Samsung device but because it was a successful campaign. Lesson: keep marching.

Samsung stopped development for SII

Hi Guys,
SamMobile Tweet Samsung has stopped developement for the Galaxy SII and Galaxy Note.. No Android update

Oh well, kinda expected for this to happen.
Unfortunately with the Exynos code unavailable, most likely community development will also die down bit by bit.

What we want is an OFFICIAL statement regarding the issue, not this.

Sammobile was the one to say that 4.2.2 would be last on s2.
Now they say something different
My point - dun try until its official

I doubt the thieves and liars over at Samsung will even have the balls to post an official statement. They will just remain silent.
But we will remember this. 4.2 came out on 13 November 2012. 4.2.2 on 11 February 2013. So NOT #2years.

SGS IV now out, what you expected?! They should develop new software for new phones and new phones. I know SGS II the most complete phone in the world (in my opinion) but this is business

Waiting for my Nexus 7 2013 to arrive and i'll keep my SGS2 only for phone calls, sms and tehering to N7 if needed. Then i'll wait for Nexus 5 or something similar. Never going to buy a Samsung device again.

Even if they did, it could be that theyll release exynos source code now..
Costum Roms where better anyway

They had to explain why Galaxy S wasn't getting ICS:
Official statement:
http://samsungtomorrow.com/2043
Some translation on
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_explains_why_galaxy_s_and_tab_70_wont_get_android_ics-news-3567.php
So they will have to jump on and explain the issue if Galaxy SII is staying on 4.1.2. Honestly, any reason they could give will be ridiculous and they will probably damage their image more in terms of money that what they would waste developing a 4.3 update and stopping there.
Also, actually both Galaxy SII and Nexus S started on 2.3 and Nexus S died on 4.1.2. If Galaxy SII gets abandoned at 4.1.2 also, Samsung will lose a great chance to overcome a Nexus in terms of updates (and if Samsung seeks for something, its for statements such as those).
In any logical terms killing Galaxy S2 would damage Samsung for than updating it..

I think that after finding all the bugs on there HW, couple of mounth ago, they won't publish there cpu code because there must be so much holes ' bus and traps that there reputaion will damge even more

Well it was nice while it lasted. I'm grateful to Gokhanmoral, Chainfire, the Cyanogenmod team and all the other dedicated developers that enriched our SII experience for these past two years.
With the promising Nexus 5 around the corner I'll be looking forward to see more from y'all!

If Samsung don't release a new update for S2, they will buy more new devices. It is all about business not because our S2 isn't capable to run (4.3). I think Nexus is a best alternative to Samsung.

Couldn't understand

There is lots of 4.4 roms in the forum. are they fake. i'm using one of them and it works flawles... So i think MY SGS2 IS CAPABLE OF 4.4 :fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed:

I really don't care as long as they provide exynos documentation for the devs at XDA. Already running 4.4.2 without their help. Will keep it till it boots for the last time even if development stops.
