Okay... if you clicked on this thread wondering about more ics news im sorry im not here for that today. As by now, for the time it takes me to write this im sure about 90% of you are rolling their eyes pissed because another ICS thread Is on our general.
But honestly GUYS OF THE NOTE FAMILY...IM HERE to ask from you.
You see it is nearing the end of THE month (second quarter) and there is still NO PROMISED ICS. And Not only did they promise it to us but that it was promised to us in the first quarter as well. How many of us are going to give up on Samsung OR AT&T before they actually deliver their update?
How many of us do they really need to make bitter?
Well today i say that if it doesn't come to us then let us go to it.
I, along with a couple of members are trying to work towards better Rom making. I, being that this is my first Rom cooking, have been learning and reviewing anything that I possibly can to help give my NOTE users out there a BIGGER ROM SELECTION. I need a good...scratch that. I NEED A AWESOME THEMER. IM ALSO GOING TO NEED SOME USERS TO HELP TEST THE BETA.
PLEASE!!!!! Together i know we can help make NOTE users ONCE AGAIN ENJOY XDA DEVELOPING!!!! AND ONCE AGAIN ENJOY FRESH NEW ROMS. INSTEAD OF THE SELECTION OF THE VERY FEW.
AND DON'T GET ME WRONG I MEAN NO DISRESPECT TO ANY AND ALL OF OUR DEVS WHO HAVE MADE TREMMMMMENDOUS SACRIFICES TO serve the bitter needs of OUR flashing habits.
Please no flaming and help me help you guys out. Let me know any ideas you have for any Rom RELATED MATERIAL LIKE theming or what you would like to see in a Rom
Thanks,

WE WERE NEVER PROMISED ANYTHING PERIOD! It was only rumors. The first rumors were that the ICS update would be released within two weeks of the Galaxy Note being released then it went from that to by the end of the first quarter then when that didn't happen someone posted that they were told May 30th was the day it was coming so that became the new rumor then the rumor was by the end of Q2 and then someone said they were told by someone at AT&T June 22nd while someone else was saying AT&T told them July 13th. You can chalk all the dates upto rumors and nothing more. If AT&T and Samsung made any statments about it there would be no speculation. All these rumors do is cause confusion. I would bet that AT&T and Samsung also have no clue when it will be released so you know just as much as they do. They will release it as soon as its ready. They do not create updates and just sit on them so they can release them at a later date. Why do people not use common sense in these situations and realize the update simply is not ready to be released? I assure you it will be released soon all you have to do is wait. I am sure they are working super hard to get the update out to us before T-Mobile releases their Note with ICS. I would guess they have been doing a lot of extra testing to get this update released so that they stay upto date before T-Mobile releases their variant. So if the rumors are true that the T-Mobile Note is coming July 11th then you can just about bet the farm that we will have our ICS update between now and July 10th and this is the best rumor you are gonna get.
im pretty sure it was asked , in a Q&A type Note video it was on one of samsungs youtube chans and they said yes we would be getting ICS.
ICS source out in July
T-Mobile is getting ready to release it's Note around July 11th it ships with ICS out of the box, source for that will follow in about a week or two. If AT&T still wants to compete with the Note and not lose new Note customers to T-mo I would expect them to release ICS around the same time (unless somehow T-mo did get exclusive ICS on their Note for one month in north america from Sammy wich I doubt). And the new leak from DG looks pretty final so it would appear AT&T is about ready to release in July or sooner. Anyway the big thing is ICS source will be out by mid July at latest and Devs can work their magic with it. If you want to wait for your carriers official release from AT&T it may be Aug or sooner, T-mo right out of the box, Bell,Rodgers, and Telus who knows what those crazy Canadians are up to. But there is some really good ICS out now from our talanted Devs so if you really want it go here http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=1496 :victory:
Sorry looks like T-Mo pushed back the release of their Note til Aug 8th so NO ICS Source in July (hopfully mid Aug unless AT&T updates to ICS 1st)
Ok looks like ICS in July again looks like T-Mo knows they are way late to the party and are trying to get the Note out ASAP so perhaps next week 7/14!
Looks like AT&T will release ICS update on July 10th for OTA and Samsung will release on Kies on July 8th and source will be released on the 11th
No need to wait for Tmo source is out maybe Tmo Note release will be next week?

No bashing or pun intended but i agree with this
same goes for the whole "signing petitions" thing
ATT and Samsung will do as they please and when they please....
The Infuse was lucky enough to get official GB
it runs ICS and correct me if im mistaken but there isnt official ICS
on it but it runs it perfectly... slimed down of course
but nonetheless we have an amazing phone that runs ICS already
and i have a feeling the majority of people Devs excluded just want it to OC
My note running Unofficial ICS CM9 runs smoother than a GB rom OC'd to 1.8Ghz
i know to a dev it can frustrating but the common user like us...
C'mon we have AMAZING roms.. i could care less if they release ICS for our ATT
because T-Mobile is releasing theirs with ICS... there is all the source
you need....
Plus its all rumors... Samsung or ATT didnt promise anything
they said they would be updated to ICS (Including the S2, Skyrocket, and Note)
but never EVER gave a date...

True they did say we will get ICS but never said when. They never ever say when updates will come because they do not even know. The most they have ever said is that it would be upgradable to ICS but this was always information everyone already knew.

No offense I don't think Canadians are crazy (actually like that those carriers roms didn't screw with the OS as much as AT&T did with NFC and all) just can't get any info from Bell, Rodgers, or Telus ( last heard was that ICS was released in may?).
Im thinking they are just holding the release until t.mo releases their note. A very similar situation occured with my nexus s few months ago. They released ics for one varient of the nexus s then found a bug then stopped the ota then after months and months of waiting, google finally released galaxy nexus on t.mo i think atleast some u.s carrier then all of a sudden google started pushing out ics for all varients of nexus s.

And if you paid attention it was for the International Note and it did come in Q2. Samsung controls all the updates on the International Note but they do not control updates for our devices cause the carrier has a say so in what software goes on each device. So the fact is Premium Suite was released in Q2 so Samsung did keep their promise/estimated date but it had nothing to do with the I717 variant of the Galaxy Note. Now go back and watch the video again and there is not one mention of AT&T or the Galaxy Note I717 in fact in the video its not even an AT&T Note running Premium Suite. Another fact, our Note and the International Note are not the same devive and do not recieve updates at the same time. No disrespect to you or anyone else just hope this post clarifies there was never a promise made or date given for the Galaxy Note I717 ICS update.

It sucks that there was at least an announcement for international note yet we didn't even get any heads up. So Samsung expects us North American users to be the last ones to get the update and just blindly wait?
Well, back to Apple it is for my next phone then. I've never had this happen to me when I was with them.... So far my galaxy experience has been pretty bad and I thought ICS will enhance it but even that isn't smooth.... Bad taste all over with this company....

Scheduled. But no specific release date. People have been saying March / April.
The Note should definitely be getting ICS.
Okay cool thanks guys!
I believe Samsung said in Q1, and a rumor just surfaced that it would be March 1.
Murphy is a cousin of mine so i say AT&T will update to ICS 2-4 months after Int'l ppl get it from Samsung.
i <3 you Murph!!
That's the worst part of this. My Cappy has been amazing with ICS. I'm almost tempted to keep it until the Note get ICS also.
Too bad the hardware is different for the ATT note (from International version), we don't have LTE in Seattle, but I dislike the physical button on the IV.
Oh well, here's hoping ATT doesn't run the same route as the Captivate (Froyo forever sucked, then Gingerbread last week or so! It was great to have ports of gingerbread well before ATT)
OP, if ics came to the g-note a week after tomorrow it wouldn't be soon enough.
The captivate is freaking unbelievable running it. I to am enjoying it ...almost... enough to put off buying a new one. The cappy is a completely new phone...rom it on the g-note and it will -scream .... on ice cream. (sorry I couldn't help that last part)

You're better off searching online for stuff about release dates than keeping on checking the ota update on your phone. Google tells all. We will learn about a release date online well before it being available through your ota.

ICS on AT&T Note is unlikely in first half of 2012. End of 2012, maybe. 2013? More likely.
It probably will not be ota.... There will probably be bootloaders if the notes ever get ics.
With my history on updates for at&t devices....if it EVER comes, count yourself
lucky. AT&T, except for the iPhones, delays, delays, delays updates.
I've had two non branded phones, and always get updates MONTHS before at&t updates.

Source? If that's just a guess, please say so.
After dealing with samsungs BS with the Vibrant, I don't believe a single word, promise, hint, or hope that they announce until I see ICS on my device. I love Samsungs hardware, but I have lost faith in the company itself long ago when dealing with my vibrant and our 10% out of the box fail rate with Sync Master monitors.
On a plus side, my vibrant runs ICS beautifully so I'm sure it will be even better on the Note once a few good ROMS are released and the bugs are worked out.

It's called common sense if you ever dealed with Samsung devices on AT&T in the past. Anything else is just naive thinking, or fantacy.
For the record, AT&T (not Samsung) is the one determines when an update will be available. And AT&T almost never give out release dates. In rare cases it did so (Captivate and Infuse GB updates are said to be available in fall 2011), they screwed it (both release in 2012).
So, any posting about release schudle is pure guess.

+1. If it comes in OTA, wait a few days. OTA update with bootloader change almost always bricks a few phones everytime Samsung tries it. Most recent is the GS2 Skyrocket 2.3.6 OTA last month.
We have to go through the phases of an over due update. We havn't even seen the numerous "i know someone who can say with certainty that..." or "my brothers cousins sisters poodles hairdresser brother works on the dev teams and said..." or my personal favorite "i know someone inside the company who says". Then there is the phase of dispair where people say they will never buy sammy again and will be selling this POS and so on. Check out the captivate and vibrant forums and you'll see lots. In the vibrants case, it was Samsungs fault for dragging their feet, not T-Mo as they hadnt received the software to bloatware onto when waiting for Froyo! Sit and wait and watch current ROM scene if you really want ICS.

That's the common mis-conception. Carrier bloatware is baked into the ROM by Samsung per carrier request.
Here is how a firmware update process goes:
1. The carrier in question must feel the need for an firmware update. It's a big deal because it has to allocate resources for extensive testing, training of CSR and actual releasing.
2. The carrier makes a request for new firmware to Samsung.
3. Samsung builds the new firmware based on carrier's request and send to carrier for testing.
4. The carrier test extensively of the new build. If there are significant problems found, it goes back to step 3.
5. After extensive testing, carrier OKs the new firmware but need to pick a release date. Most importantly it has make sure it won't jeopardize the sales of new phones.
6. Once received OK from carrier, Samsung can put out the new firmware.
I'm not sure we are even past step 1 yet.

Agreed, I'm about ready to turn the chapter on my streak
This video has been around in the other Note forum for a while.
Frankly, it's a tease. There's something about Smasung's promises that are worth just about nothing.
For all we know, they may discontinue this product before we see anything.
I have had the Note for ages, and be the time they release anything it will be obsolete.
Heck, in Smasung's mindset, things are obsolete even BEFORE they're released

So you come from an iPhone to the Note and you automatically know everything about Samsung devices? Hmmm.
In my experience with the Captivate and Infuse, Samsung may be slow to release stuff, but they eventually get around to it. The Captivate started on 2.1, and they eventually got it to 2.2 and 2.3. The Infuse started with 2.2 and had 2.3 for a while, but they pulled it due to some issues; it will be back eventually. And that's just official updates. Samsung phones have great developer support her, my Captivate has ICS running on it, and the Infuse does now too. Premium Suite will come out when they release the official Samsung ICS for the International Note. And how can you say they are making the Note obsolete before it came out? It's still arguably the best device out there right now. And the ATT Note has been out for what, 2 months, yet we already have a stable ICS leak? Ok. I would say that's pretty damn good due to the fact that most phones don't have ICS yet, and the Note was in development before ICS was officially released anyways....therefore of course it's going to have GB when it was released.
I love how previous iPhone users think that they have the best support...One phone a year...one 'major' software upgrade a year. And no fragmentation? Hah. Bold faced lie. If there was truly no fragmentation, all iPhones, all the way back to the original, would be able to run the latest iOS in some shape or form...yet that's not the case.
When I had the iPhone 3g, it was severely crippled by iOS 4. My old Captivate now has ICS on it, and is over two years old now. Hmmm. Weird.
Not trying to bicker and fight, just pointing out that Samsung does support their devices fairly well.
I didn't mention an iPhone. Did you perhaps search my previous posts form two months ago?
And I don't think I mentioned anything about Apple support or whatever.
Samsung is a shifting entity. They are now supposedly pulling the Galaxy tab 10" and the 10" note to make changes. Thing is, this seems somewhat disorganized. It may be a good move, or not. It isn't a stable timetable.
So when they say such and such is going to happen, I'm not going to hold my breath.
Yeah, I suppose I did search it to see where you were coming from, as in my experience I have been really satisfied with Samsung products, so I get curious as to why people have complaints against Samsung. Sorry. Haha. And my reference to Apple's support came from you being on an iPhone previously, therefore that is what you're familiar with, so I compared it to my experience with both Samsung and Apple products.
Sorry if I came off a bit harsh, going on 4 hours of sleep in the last two and a half days, it's wearing on me.
Np problem, I do that also (it's fun to sneak around and check on people )
I'm just pissed that i'm stuck with the S -memo. I bought the Note for the pen really, as it's an ideal note-taker (or should I say, it COULD be ideal )
And I was waiting for the 10" and now it's all up in the Air. I'm pissed.
So I rant on, to no avail i'm afraid
Cmon now...Samsung isnt THAT bad. Honestly, if you always have to have the lastest software, the Nexus line is the best way to go. Its not like HTC, Motorola, LG updates all of their devices quickly. No brand is perfect. I would much rather have to wait a little while and get a completed update than a fast update thats buggy and half assed. And besides, most people love to flash ROMS and tons of customizations. Thats what makes us Android users and not iOS. Last week I used the iphone again and thought to myself..."this $#&@ is Boring! Unlock screen, swipe left, swipe right....all I see is bunched up icons on that never changing 3.5" screen...thats it?!?
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
I was one of the many who came from an iPhone. Actually, I have had every iPhone since it's inception. From time to time, I would jump and try another phone and would always go back to the iPhone. This is the first time that I switch out the iPhone and can still say It was a great choice. One of the many things that sold me was samsung's premium suite coming out. I have changed so many things on my note that I could never do on the iPhone. I guess it is just personal preference and what it is your looking for in a phone. I wanted a productivity monster that would do everything I needed or wanted and the notes does just that
Bring on premium, I am waiting impatiently
Coming from someone who had a phone made by Dell last, I would say that Samsung is LIGHTNING fast with updates, lol...

It's believed to be in the new leak being released soon. I'm sure it will get incorporated in all the ICS ROM's very quickly.

Samsung phones have great developer support her, my Captivate has ICS running on it, and the Infuse does now too. Premium Suite will come out when they release the official Samsung ICS for the International Note. And how can you say they are making the Note obsolete before it came out? It's still arguably the best device out there right now. And the ATT Note has been out for what, 2 months, yet we already have a stable ICS leak? Ok. I would say that's pretty damn good due to the fact that most phones don't have ICS yet, and the Note was in development before ICS was officially released anyways....therefore of course it's going to have GB when it was released.
I love how previous iPhone users think that they have the best support...One phone a year...one 'major' software upgrade a year. And no fragmentation? Hah. Bold faced lie. If there was truly no fragmentation, all iPhones, all the way back to the original, would be able to run the latest iOS in some shape or form...yet that's not the case.
When I had the iPhone 3g, it was severely crippled by iOS 4. My old Captivate now has ICS on it, and is over two years old now. Hmmm. Weird.
Not trying to bicker and fight, just pointing out that Samsung does support their devices fairly well.

Your rant aside, that's actually a good point on iOS. Never thought about it that way. They are always quick to attack fragmentation as a benefit to being on iOS (which they feel they are immune too). I believe this picture sums it up

And I don't think I mentioned anything about Apple support or whatever.
Samsung is a shifting entity. They are now supposedly pulling the Galaxy tab 10" and the 10" note to make changes. Thing is, this seems somewhat disorganized. It may be a good move, or not. It isn't a stable timetable.
So when they say such and such is going to happen, I'm not going to hold my breath.

Been using the leaked "S Note" app on my AT&T Note and am learning to like it alot. BUT it definitely (at least for me) takes some learning and practice.
It has basically replaced the "S Memo" app.
Nice feature in "Settings" is the ability to use pen only...meaning your palm won't end up leaving marks on your note.

i just got off the chat with samsung support because of the noise in the camera where there is low light and they couldnt fix it. so i asked if it would be fixed in another update and he said there werent any updates but i said in the future like android 4.1 jelly bean and he said yes but didnt have a date for the release. i told him to fix the camera tho and he said he will let the techs know.
Yea next year. Seriously, in my past experiences, whenever I asked them about software updates, the answer would be "soon". Took them months to update the us galaxy s I & II. Just recently, they updated the last galaxy s II variant to ics, days after jelly bean was announced. Our best hope is to wait for cyanogen since they're making a very good progress for our phone

Yes, Samsung is very bad with rolling out updates for their phones. With that said, it is pretty much always assumed that when you buy a high end Android device you will receive the next release of Android. However, for us, an official release will likely not be in the near future.
I don't know... my last two phones have been Samsung so I TOTALLY know how it's been in terms of updates, which is to say pretty abysmal... I kinda suspect it might be a little different this time around though, at least for JB... the S3 is their obvious flagship and is doing extremely well so I think they may not make us wait as long as in the past. I'd bet we get JB by September, probably about two months to the day that it was announced. I mean, that's two months longer than we all want it to be naturally, but it's not THAT ridiculous to me.
In my mind, more than a month after an Android release you start to moan a bit... more than two months you start to outright complain. So if they get it to us right around two months, that's not great, but it's not awful either. That my hunch anyway, based on no more information than anyone else has, just a gut feel that they won' t want to ruin what has been a pretty stellar product cycle so far overall. Remember, they pulled off a nearly simultaneous multi-carrier launch for the first time and have a lot of momentum... it would be pretty lousy to follow that up with too long a delay getting JB to us. I suspect they get that.
Jelly Bean for VZW Galaxy S3 - Q4 2012. Its an incremental update rather than fully ground up so it probably won't take as long as, for example, ICS took on many devices.
I don't have source right this second, but I'll find it soon.......
They take forever for software but damn they make worthy phones. I love my s3 and even tho I know we won't get official jb anytime within the next 6 months at minimum, I know we'll at least have cyanogenmod and aokp with it so I'm not worried about it.

Don't expect any major updates with Samsung. I have had every top end Samsung phone for AT&T and never gotten one update.

I think the fact that the SGS3 is nearly identical across all US carriers will play a huge role in getting updates out much quicker than they have in the past. Samsung recently had a poll on facebook asking if they only made one device, which device would users prefer. This ability to only manufacture a single phone (a la Apple iPhone) would allow them to push updates in unprecedented amounts of time.

Then you, sir, have purchased at the wrong time or are full of it. I received 2 official updates just on my Captivate.
It is not necessarily Samsung holding up the updates. Its most likely the carriers. I can only speak from experience on captivate , but the European counterpart of that devices ( the I9000) received more than 10 leaks and a couple of official Gb updates. The captivate itself had more than half a dozen leaks before the official gb update.
If youre only focusing on the official OTA updates, then yeah , it'll naturally be slow. However, considering the dedicated community we've got, we'll definetley get jelly bean relatively soon considering we got cm9 now
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda premium
Yeah, sometimes Samsung gets a *little bit* of a bad rap with updates... my experience with the Epic 4G is that although the updates didn't come as fast as we'd like at times, we DID get eventually them... we went through three versions of Android if memory serves: I believe it shipped with Eclair, and I know we got Froyo and ended up with Gingerbread. That was over a two-year period, since I got the Epic shortly after release and just updated after a two-year Sprint contract. So, I mean, three major OS revisions, plus a couple of smaller ones and a few bug/security updates mixed in there too, over a two-year period, you know, that's not too bad in my mind, even though the wait was uncomfortable a few times. If the SGS3 gets similar updates it won't be too bad in the long-run, although I certainly hope the lags between Android releases and our updates aren't quite as long, and I suspect they won't be.
Actually Samsung was one of the first OEM's to roll out ICS to it's handsets. Look at how many Motorola phones don't have it yet. Almost all of the GS2 have ISC now. The Note has it.
HTC has a bunch of relatively new phones that don't have ICS yet.
I think the S3 will be one of the first non-Nexus to get JB. Time will tell.
I'd bet that we have leaks by August and an official release the month after. So Jellybean by September.
Edit:
Forgot about carriers. Provably by November/December then but maybe Samsung can force them to update faster now that they have so much clout.

My plan expires tomorrow, I can get whatever. Any news on upcoming "google" phone?
Google hasn't release any new phone for 2012 yet...I'd hate to grab Galaxy Nexus now, then they release something newer the month after.
Since
Nexus One (release date Jan 2010)
Nexus S (Dec 2010)
Galaxy Nexus (Nov 2011)
?? (Nov-Dec 2012)
...is it safe to predict that one is due somewhere around Nov-Dec?
Apple hasn't release any iphone in 2012 also...so I think they gonna release something in late 2012 also. When it does, I think Google Nexus will be even cheaper...so I think I should wait a couple more months.
Since most of us Vibrant users plan expire at the end of late quarter of 2012, what phone are you planning to get next?

Well they usually release a new phone with new OS. Nexus S with Gingerbread, GalNex with ICS (I forgot what did Nexus One shipped with, Eclair??). With JellyBean already released just a few weeks ago, I think the chance is very slim for google to release a new phone at the end of this year.

You mean Google Nexus 7? If so, that isn't a phone though. They don't have Google Nexus yet...they have Google Galaxy Nexus. After the last time I had with OEM subsidized phone with superslow OTA update, I aint going through that again.
I'd be surprised if they released a new phone without any teasers or leaks at this point. Could be focusing on the Nexus 7 moreso, but you'd think you'd have have seen something just to get the buzz going since Apple is supposed to have the next iPhone coming out sometime late this year.
I had to put my Vibrant out to pasture a couple weeks ago, and picked up the Galaxy Nexus; it's badass. The lack of an SD slot, and the camera (good, but not great) are my only complaints but it's so smooth at stock. I don't even think I'll bother with a custom ROM at this point since stock JB runs so well. Maybe the Trinity or franco kernel later, but I almost don't know what to do with my phone since I was always tinkering and tweaking my Vibrant, heh.

It would be kinda weird having a phone without all the little quirks and hiccups (and a working gps for that matter!).
Every time I start to get fed up with my Vibrant....BAM....the devs throw down and I'm left feeling silly for having doubted this little engine that could

Google usually brings out a new phone with a new major software update, e.g. N1 (Eclair), Nexus S (GB), Galaxy Nexus (ICS). Froyo was not a major update so no new phone, and neither is Jelly Bean; however, 'Key Lime Pie' is "supposed" to be a major update so I believe Google will be releasing a new phone around December/January.

Well, with Google phone, you don't have to worry about latest ROM from google delivered to you ontime before all other phone...you won't have problem with TMobile like we did for Vibrant. I don't trust any updates from any OEM or Carrier anymore and would not get SGS S3 If you can't wait, get the Galaxy Nexus. If I were you, I'd wait for upcoming release ...with Lime Pie as like one the user mentioned. Just keep sticking around testing new XDA Vibrant ROMs The other rumor I read that was pretty interesting is that the new battery might be in case form and flexible...so that it could have more battery life. Also Tmobile bought more spectrum for 4G LTE...and should be in 2013. If so, I hope the new phone is capable of all the spectrum...and super long lasting battery. Maybe it's just a dream. Who knows...lol

Sorry but that's pretty ugly concept with the backside and by god not Tegra. I'll stick with OMAP any day and I predict Google will go with a 2ghz dual core OMAP base on the Arm A15, rather than 4cores.
