I9000 will get updates till android ends.

I mailed to samsung about updates and service called me. I talked long.
I asked about ics for us. And they said galaxy s will get all updates till android ends.
I understand we will get ics and all of the next updates.
Can this be real?
(Also they confirmed a new rom end of this month.)
Sorry for my english.

No, it can't be real because there will come a time where the sgs specs will no longer be enough to run the latest android. Or Samsung will decide to stop investing in the sgs. Porting costs money.

service guy will not have any information about strategic plans of galaxy s.
if you look at the official releases of samsung, it tells a different story.

I'm pretty sure, Samsung Galaxy S will continue to get updates as long as 2.x.x continues and it will continue for low-end devices, such as security updates and bug fixes. Heck, Amazon Kindle has an 2.x.x android and is grand hit in US for instance or just like Firefox 3.x is continuing to get updates as 3.x.x still...
But I don't think it will get official Ice Cream Sandwich but sure 4.0 will be out for it, unofficially...

OMG I just installed service pack 3 on my brand new windows XP !! I know, it's an unofficial leaked version...
About the samsung answer, of course it's bullcrap, but it's phone service, im not surprised.
Actually it wouldn't surprise me that the person you talked with had absolutely no idea what android is, he just said random stuff about it "yea until android exists, sure, bye!"

I don't think sgs will get ics. If it would why didn't they announce it at the same time they said sgs2 will get it??
Let's be negative so we can be happily surprised if we get it

They are indeed still releasing updates for firefox 3. But they are encouraging people to update to the latest version. Support for FF3 will stop in a while imo. They won't be putting effort forever in a legacy firefox
Sent from my GT-I9000 using Tapatalk

Ontopic: tbh the reason why it is taking so long for ics updates is probably because touchwiz has to be rewritten for ICS. I wouldn't count on an ics update for the galaxy s (not saying it's not possible) but i wouldn't care to much. We will still be getting ics though cyanogen if samsung doesnt release it officially

And, as far as being "positive/Negative", it is wrong, being realistic you should understand that you DON'T KNOW
This is like Schrödinger's cat, until you have the information, you just don't know.

I emailed the support and asked similar questions.. Lets see what they anwser..

We shall get it one way or another and it shall run just fine Its like saying Win7 won't install on an old system running XP. It'll run and run better just turn off the bloat ware..

It helps us in the sense that if the AT&T ICS build is near enough complete to be shown ofd at CTIA and leaked, one must imagine the international can't be far behind.

I care. It's a load of crap that a branded (AT&T, none the less) phone has leaks before the international version does. We do not have a stable/usable ICS version yet that doesn't present bricking as a possible outcome.... extremely frustrating.

Midteam 1.1 (CLP6) is great for me and more stable and faster than GB ROMs. I have more bugs and slow work at GB ROMs...

By the number of leaks and news regarding this, I bet we, N7000 users aren't gonna taste ICS anytime soon.

That is an i9220 repack based ROM and bricking your phone is a possible outcome every time you access CWM.

It'll be nice to have an official ICS release for the international Note if only for the purposes of ripping out the necessary drivers and framework tweaks needed to get an AOSP build work perfectly (hardware accelerated video, true S-Pen functionality, MHL output, USB OTG, etc...)
Such a day when this exists, will be glorious for the Note!

You can get annoyed all you want but Samsung said Q3 and Q3 is not over yet.

We still have two month at maximum to wait... But im really happy with GB. I have had no problems at all with GB and the battery lasts a day with normal usage. Still i really want the new features that have been added on ICS for the S-Memo.

I do not care, go with this to at en t section ore post this in ics sticky thread.

Amen Bro ! Thats why I love this site so much. It doesn't really matter what T-Mobile does so its kind of a pointless conversation. I would't really even take the KIES update or OTA update from T-Mobile anyways. I will wait untill someone here gets a good stable JB Release. I am reluctant to change because my ICS rom is so smooth and stable but I know within a few months it will be worth it. It's like a slap in the face to the slow and bloated T-Mo. Rom.

I wouldn't do a kies update either. My hope is for Samsung to release source so that the devs here have more to work with. That was what dogged the vibrant. They eventually released Froyo for it, but nothing further. The GB/ICS/JB releases for it were all ported from either the i9000 or the Nexus S, and had to be tweaked since there was no actual source to work with for the vibrant itself. That's why the GPS was so spotty on it on any version of android after Froyo. I'm glad that my insurance replacement for my busted Vibrant was the Hercules, which is still in the window of time (was it 18 months?) that they pledged to support upgrades to android. Whether we actually see it is another story. At least the devs here really kick some butt on the ROMs they release.

Just got JB on my tf300 2 days ago
Asus updates waaaay quicker than Samsung! Maybe later on I could get an Asus Phone.

Galaxy S2 Getting Jelly Bean Next month!

"The Samsung Galaxy S2, the Galxy Note and the Galaxy Note 10.1 are the devices that we expect to run Android 4.1 at some point in the immediate, or not-so-immediate, future. In case you happen to own any of these three devices, you’ll be happy to hear that Samsung Sweden has confirmed that all of them will get Jelly Bean in the coming months.
The Galaxy S2 will be updated to Jelly Bean at some point in November, while the Galaxy Note and the Galaxy Note 10.1 will be upgraded in Q4 2012. Considering that we’re already in the fourth quarter of the year, we wouldn’t be surprised to see the Galaxy S2 receive the update at some point next month, with the phablet and tablet to receive it after the handset.
According to Samsung Sweden, the Jelly Bean updates will be available over-the-air or via KIES, but we’ll cross those bridges once we get there. Needless to say that while Samsung may be ready to start releasing the updates, it’s still up to the carriers to issue them."
(Yes, I know there are many JB ROMs out there, but I am unsure if the Project Butter Source code is out for our GS2s)

Excellent news, will give our devs some much needed code to play with :cyclops:

Only thing I'm a bit affraid is availablity of leaked test builds for now. I remember S3 had first builds a month before official release But good info anyway.
Plus goes for saying us atleast we are able to carry JB and now even Exynos sources so CM will move on!

I'm new to Samsung. How do we get/search for leaks?
On the atrix we hacked Motorola's servers to check for updates/test builds (called cheesecaking)
Similar type of way for Samsung?

Great news, im having trouble with my MHL HDMI cable working smoothly on jellybam, maybe there something in the code that can fix this.

I waited for months for the official Samsung ICS update only to find nothing much had changed in their ROM. Since then I have been on custom ROMs getting the true Android experience as Google intended it to be. Would definitely encourage people to root and flash custom ROMs (as long as they follow instructions and make backups). It's the way forward!

Internal KNOX document confirms Android 4.4 for multiple Samsung devices

Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk - now Free

I personally believe that they should now stop working on 4.3 and work on 4.4 as & when it releases. We have already got a very stable leak for 4.3 and with mods it wouldn't be too long when it looks and feels like the final build.

As I see it....is more an assumption from sammobile than a samsung confirmation. But I really hope for this to be true. I will buy a note 2 soon....and I want to see 4.4 officialy on my note.

I bet Note 2 will get 5.0 just wait

I dont see any reason why the note 2 SHOULD NOT get the 4.4 version. It can even handle android 5.0 in the near future.

By looking at S2 history, we should get even 5.0... Because S2 started with 2.3.4 and ended with 4.1.2.... it got 3 major updates.. but in our case, we started with 4.1.1 and still are in 4.1.2 officially... so 4.3 will be first... 4.4 will be second and 5.0 will be final I believe.

We already have 4.3 leaked and probably soon the official version would be rolled out. So what exactly are whining about? How many devices that were released along with N2 got prompt 4.3 update? I mean Nexus aside. Has Xperia Z gotten the update?
I'm just sick of seeing this crap. Samsung still has to develop 4.3 on touchwiz framework, which has a hell lot more features than rest of the customized firmwares.

Sure thing will get it but the idea when lol. They can confirm will get even android 6.8 but the idea is when :sly:

Yeah sure. They failed to get 4.2 out of the door, they pulled 4.3 so we are still waiting for an update over a year after the last update, 4.1.2.
I really look forward to see how they will fail to release 4.4.
I have it on good authority (glass orb) that they also plan to try a release of 5.0 which, as all previous updates, will fail to materialise. If I just wait long enough, I am sure I will also witness the non-release of 8.0...

Note 2 will get the 4.4 on April 2014, same with the S3. S4 and Note3 will get it on January 2014

Ha ha ha!! Oh dear, you are so very wrong my friend. At least your optimistic. :good:

Like a number of other posters I don't see the point in waiting for the original Samsung updates. By the time we get 4.3 official, 4.4 is out. By the time we get 4.4 the next iteration will be out. Even Sony, who seem to be on the ball, just get an aosp rom working in their device and then release it to devs to build the rooms - so for me, its custom ROMs all the way!
