ICS aosp is now officially up for the devs to work on ................****video progress on ics port scroll down****

What does this mean for me -

If you have a stock rom gtab then it means hopefully Samsung will get the finger out and get it ported to your slate but it may be a while.

I use Overcome or a n other custom rom - it means the devs can now start working on an ICS version to get you ahead of the game and onto a (hopefully) better version of Android with more tablet orientated apps, games and better features!

***NOTE*** please dont ask "when will i" or any silly questions..........have patience

Hi all, first post.

I picked up a tab 10.1 (Wifi) today, and as I was playing around with it, I figured I would upgrade to ice cream sandwich.

The whole process went just fine, until the end. I cannot access the market place, nothing will sync, and more importantly, I can't revert back to honeycomb. Essentially, I have a tab that is only useful for internet browsing right now.

Does anyone have any idea on how to revert back to Honeycomb? I have been searching across the net for hours trying to find a solution, but I'm not finding anything (or its not working for me).

Any help would be appreciated,

Thanks.

I just started my 10.1 and checked for update and its downloading right now. 5:30AM BC Canada WOOT

Whaoo !
Tell us more !
How fast ICS is running on the tab ?
Can you show us some screen shots ?

[Scottyf79]

screen shot for everyone to see......... i reckon youve downloaded a 3.2 update or kernel update - not i.c.s

its just landed on the acer iconia a200 today though.

[foulke]

Ah ? So can you please confirm ?
Is it Android 4.0 or Android 3.2.
Cause 3.2 was already discussed here
It's available since a week.

Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 is not going to get official ICS, despite of much discussions and rumors.

Oh Yes it is, see post #33

You can update the galaxy tab 10.1 it unofficially, though.

do you have any links to back up that statement ?, or is that purely your personal opinion

[jaw007]

I hate samsung for this reason,I believe other countries get THERE FIRMWARE much faster, AND SAMSUNG doesn't really care about US release. They have achieved much more than their target in Tablet sales.They are very revenue obsessed.I DID NOT THINK OF THIS BEFORE BUYING MY Galaxy 10.1 Tablet .I WOULD DEFINITELY GO FOR AN IPAD 3 NEXT TIME.

You should never buy a Tablet for the OS you hope to get.......you should buy it for the OS that it has, and then any upgrade will be a bonus.

It's not true that the US get their upgrades later than anyone else....Samsung aren't the fastest with their upgrades, but they're not the slowest either.

Having said that, your "all too powerful" ISP's over there don't help any Manufacturer by very often insisting on their own special OS formats.

Your just going to have to be patient, after all, it's not like your Tab doesn't work well on the OS you already have.....

PS: .... if your thinking of going for a iPad 3 ( New iPad ) next time......... they have big problems of their own....and it's NOT because they don't have the latest OS on-board...

Thank you for the information.This is my first tablet,and the store that I bought it from said that Samsung will update it to ICS soon.I guess I will have to wait!By the way some video's are choppy on this tab,I thought ICS would help in this area.

I too hope that your 10.1 will be updated very soon for you.....

[Stacey5089]

Will the 10.1 tab be getting ics and if so when will we be receiving the update?? Aren't some devices already running on ics??

[Scottyf79]

it will get it eventually......

Samsung generally roll out updates by region and supplier so its just a case of holding on in there and waiting.
Unfortunately only Samsung know when exactly that will happen......and even at that there can be delays.

+! on this:) waiting for canadian tabs to show screen shots

[foulke]

Looks like Galaxy Tab received the ICS upgrade in Canada :newswire

[neonlampshade]

Okay just been noticing that the galaxy note has gotten ICS today, Just wondering if anyone has any idea when the update will be out for the Tab 10.1? I assume them bring it out for the note means that the galaxy tab 10.1 can't really be far off.
