Looking to get a tablet and know I don't want an ipad, but do want a similar size screen. I'm leaning toward the Galaxy Tab 10.1. I currently have a Samsung Epic and have not been at all happy with the frequency of Android updates (we *just* got gingerbread OTA). Is it the same with the Galaxy Tab, or are the Epic upgrades slow because of the carrier (Sprint)? Sorry if this is a duplicate thread. I did a quick search but didn't find anything.
Samsung is rather slow. Asus was much faster in the past.
The Galaxy Tab will get ICS Update in Q1 2012, whatever that means Could be january, could be march. The good thing is, at least you're not carrierdepending (at least if you buy the WIFI version. but I think the 3G version isn't different).
The ipad and Galaxy Tab 10.1 do not have similar screen sizes. If that is what you want I suggest the Galaxy Tab 8.9 or 7.7

This is XDA, a forum for custom ROM devs and users. Nobody here (except some of the new folk who are afraid to root) cares how fast Samsung pushes updates.
Except this is the Q&A thread so the OP has a valid post IMHO.

Good of you to answer it then.
Here's an answer: Your question is subjective; some folks think that 6 months is fine, others think that we should have gotten it on the day it was announced. Here on XDA the vast majority of people will be running it long before the carrier releases it. Of course, there will be a few people here that will say "I don't want to root, when will the official update come?" and the rest of us will think "why are you here?"

To get answers on devices from the less pretentious members.
Alright, so I got a Samsung Galaxy S II LTE I9210, and I want to root it.
This is not the right section of the forum, I know, but its the closest to my device, so meh.
Don't tell me to go search around the forums and google because they are all outdated and I looked through all of them before posting.
All the other posts state that the method out there will break the soft key functions, and that is pretty bad.
Is there any finalized way to do it without the chance of breaking the functionality of the softkeys?
As well as OTA updates, I want to know if there is any ICS builds for this phone released. Where I live, even if you don't have a modified phone/rooted phone, you will not get any OTA updates, any way to find out if you can get the ICS update?
Thanks,
Nicholas

There had been a rumor when ICS upgrade was going to come....It was that the whole galaxy family would get ICS upgrade but firstly SII and Note....
Then it disappeared...!!!! :?
Do u guys know if Galaxy lower members like Gio, Ace, Y, Fit will get an ICS upgrade or not?
I've been waiting for it for a while now....

for example, i9001 has already an ics upgrade. Or it doesn't belong to the "lower members" group, what u mentioned?
i dont think Galaxy S or its twin brother i9001 belong to the group of Ace, Gio and Y. However, i dont think there is official upgrade expected for these devices, may be because of their low specs, which is why an unofficial upgrade might not work that well either. you can google "minimum requirement to run ICS" to know whether they would run ICS smoothly.
Cheers
I don't think so .. samsung doesn't care about their old phones anymore .. and i don't think it's because of hardware incompatibilities/limitations because Gio, Ace, Fit have their unofficial version of CM9 .. meaning it's possible .. but due to lack of source codes because samsung is not releasing them, camera is still not working and some other features are limited .. hope you get the answer you needed ..
Does anyone know when ICS (Ice Cream Sandwich 4.0) will be released for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 (GT-P7510)? According to Samsung it was supposed to be last month but its already June and still no ics.

You don't have it yet? Use the "factory reset" while dunking your tablet in a bucket of icewater and the download will start.
Just kidding. Welcome to XDA. You're going to have a much better time here if you learn to use the "search" function before you post. The answer to your question is in many, many threads here. But since you're new, I'll give you a hint: nobody knows.

I agree with you,,Samsung never let us to know bout pics update''if you want feel the pics,,use in official rom
It was planned for May, but then Samsung decided to release Galaxy Tab 2 with the only major difference being ICS. So the planned update for the original tab was delayed until end of Q2 to help Tab 2 sales.

Please don't let another thread go this direction. If you want to tell this story, provide links to reputable sources in which Samsung (not some third party) has stated a release date for ICS for the GT10.1. If you don't have links, please stop making this stuff up.
At present there isn't even an official Samsung leak for ICS version of Tab 10.1, that's the reason why only nightly custom ROM's are available. Usually it takes still time after a leak arrived.

Galaxy Tab 7.0, 7.0 Plus, 8.9, 10.1 and the Galaxy Note will receive the new software update effective April 30th."

A single blog post? Come on now, if Samsung had promised something, don't you think you would be able to find at least one actual news outlet that carried the story?
Well... they did. And the blog post you linked to misquoted it. It took me 10 seconds to figure that out (hint: just google a line of the text). Nobody from Samsung has ever given a date for the release of ICS on the Galaxy Tab 10.1. Whether that's a good business practice is dubious, but claiming that they said something they didn't--and quoting a badly written blog post as proof--is lazy and increases the amount of misinformation floating around this forum...
Hmm still no update on this?

Everything should be in the speculation thread.
HA
Just for fun I keyed into Samsung Live Chat and asked when 4.0 was coming out. I got some robot named Arnold who basically said:
"I'm sorry to inform you that there is no information available on an update for your device. Watch our website and STFU"
So it's gone from UK/Ireland and then the rest of the world to "we don't know sh*t". Sigh...back to beating the crap out of my ADW launcher

Tempted. Seriously tempted. Here's my thing...I'm a big time rookie and a victim of the "rolling recovery" disease that is flying all over the place in this forum. I've looked everywhere on all of the recommended threads and have investigated all kinds of tidbits but can't find a whole lot of consistency with regard to a potential answer to my question. I started a new thread in the Q&A here about it and would consider that for SURE if I could just get my recovery back to where I can read it so I can do a simple root.
You're probably laughing at my green ass and that's OK. I'm just hoping someone will have pity on me so I can finally start playing with this thing the way I want to.

Wish I could flash a ROM for mine....
Unfortunately I'm on a Korean version of the 10.1
Developers are no where to be found!
Hello everyone, i don't know if this's the right place to ask about official software update from samsung, but i heared that they will launch JB update for the S2 very soon, mayb by Nov, and i'm wondering if the G version will also get the JB!!!!!!!!!!

YES, the 'G' version will also get The official JB update ma8
Well, that's great news, thanks , anyway i don't yet have the phone but i'm planning too and the normal I9100 is no longer available, and actually i think this's the most suitable phone for my needs as long it's getting the new JB update coz i do care too much about software updates
Why are you not getting the plain gt-i9100.Theres a lot of pissed off people that own the g version......especially in India.
Coz it's no more available and i can't find it!!!
Please review the thread's title... It is very misleading.
Actually i'm also getting the t-mobile galaxy s2 T989 unlocked from US, but my plan is to sell it and buy the original SII, also not sure if the t-mobile version is getting the JB update!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
