Another speculation topic. Yes I know.
But Telus has a reputation of not labeling something as "Coming Soon" until it is right around the corner.
Remember, Telus doesn't add a lot of bloatware to the releases they get from Samsung, so this could be the real deal. We'll see shortly(hopefully).

It is not a rumor, it is not a rep its an official Telus statement on their official website, usually when telus posts coming soon it arrives within 2weeks.
This will very likely come out before tmobile version. Does anyone have ubuntu and a t989d in canada?

If we're playing the he said/she said game, then Samsung said the ICS update would come in Q1. Then, T-Mobile said ICS would come as close as possible to Samsung's release. We all know how that has turned out. So I'll believe it when I actually download the official release. Until then, everything is hearsay and should be taken with a grain of salt and a cocktail.
However, that being said, I'm confident that a carrier OTHER than T-Mobile will release official ICS for our SoC variant first.

Haha, this forum is full of impatient folks fixated on instant gratification. ICS will come, so just sit back, relax and wait. Im not jumping into the skyrocket leak because I dont want to have to deal with the issues or trying to make it work 100% on a slightly diff phone.
2.3.6 works just fine for now, and seeing as how the phone will live more of its life in ICSville, its nice to use GB for now, stable and decent batt life. It will be like getting a new phone again when it does roll out! Just wait guys...its just around the corner, remember and cherish these last days of Gingerbread lol
Telus website has had ICS - COMING SOON on for S2X for couple months now. Your post is absolutely pointless.

You can either choose to sit and wait for it while trying to make sense of all the rumors or you can simply move on.
I have been waiting patiently for Samsung to at least let us know when they are planning on releasing it but, alas, it has not happened as yet. Thus I have just obtained a Galaxy Nexus and will be getting rid of the 989 tonight. The software fragmentation is killing Google and it's souring me on Android release after release. From Eclair to Froyo to Gingerbread, it has been nothing but a big fiasco with these updates.
This thread is pointless.

So what happens when telus doesn't hold up there end of the deal? Do we start another thread?
All these ICS rumor,fact,fiction,he said ,she said ,whatever you want to call it thread have been taken down for a reason.Cause there pointless and thats my point buddy.
If i remember correctly, April last year is when official Gingerbread was released to Telus devices, So it could possibly be the same time frame for the Ics.
I remember it was His desire hd because i was already using a custom gingerbread rom on my desire.
if it doesn't get released, can we start some war with telus for false advertisement

As you know we dont have ics source yet for our phones :/
but other samsung phones like the GS2(AT&T) and the Note are already using ics.
So my question is, at this point, who is to blame for our ics not being released?
BTW, if im wrong about something, tell me cause im kinda new at this
Samsung controls the source code and the ROM.
Sprint only controls if we get OTA update.

Historically, update around 6 months after the new android is released is normal for sprint android phones. Takes longer for cdma phones because GSM gets worked on first due to the much larger user base

Could be that Samsung won't officially release ICS for the epic touch until S3 is out? The could be copying what HTC does for their devices. Release the update after a new model is launched.

Is it really that big of deal. We will still be getting ics before a lot of other devices and some devices that came out around the same time won't get it all. Samsung/sprint don't even need to release ics for this phone. I am just happy we will be getting it at all. It sounds like its very close anyways.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
There are good reasons why ICS hasn't gone OTA just yet... And in the end it will be a win for everyone. Those that have been working on addressing bugs and trying to ensure the major ones - like the "superbrick" or eMMC bug - are addressed before OTA are doing so in the hopes that our release is the best that it can be.
But don't take my word for it... Just look at the most recent threads in the General forum. You will see the effort that the XDA community, Samsung and Sprint have put in so far to have this roll out with as few issues as possible.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using XDA
I really dont understand why everyone is complaining so much about this ota update. Some variant of ics has been available for this phone for months. Its been fun to flash the leaks and try out various roms with a stable gb base to roll back to just in case. Samsung and Sprint could have dumped a decent ics leak on us several months ago but they decided to work it a bit more and give us some 4.0.4. If you want ics now then flash el22, its awfully nice.

I don't think AT&T would release that as they don't want to mess with iPhone 5 roll out and steal that thunder. However the smart thing is for Samsung to push the crap out of this and put pressure on all carriers to release JB before iPhone 5 comes out.

I think the carriers will defintiely slow the process down. However, I really don't think it will take as long as it did going from GB to ICS for SGS2 variants. If you recall, some SGS2 Variants in US and Canada just got their ICS around the same time SGS3 was released (LOL). But the upgrade from ICS to Jellybean is fairly small and I know that Google and Samsung (as well as other manufacturers) are trying to make updates a ltitle more timely than they have been in the past. Whether or not this will hold true is yet to be seen. However, seeing that there is already a leak for i9300 so soon shows me that Samsung is making more of an effort. I don't recall the ICS leaks for my i9100 coming out this soon
I'd be surprised if AT&T even releases JB for the Galaxy S3. Doing that would only benefit the customer, and it is strictly against AT&T's policy to do anything that might benefit the end user.
I'd say there is a 90% chance we will all be stuck with ICS unless we root and flash our own JB custom ROM's. AT&T doesn't care if you use ICS. Hell, 98% of people with the Galaxy S3 in the United States don't even know what ICS and Jellybean are, and they couldn't care less as long as the phone functions.

You get an A+ for positivity, but unfortunately, you're giving the carriers too much credit, especially AT&T. In the end, Samsung pushing out updates in a timely manner is as useful as rubber lips on a woodpecker because the frigging carriers are guaranteed to slow sh*t down so they can bloat the software up to their liking.

I imagine alot of ppl will be underwhelmed when we do get JB. There's not going to be much visually different, and project butter pushing things to 60fps throughout the ui will help, but this is already a pretty smooth phone. I was seeing some lag issues, but I reflashed my current rom & everything is back to silky smooth. Don't get me wrong, JB is a welcome addition to an already amazing device, but it's not going to be like the jump from gingerbread to ics, so I can be patient. Also, as a couple others have stated, I'm loving TW over AOSP now. I never thought I'd say it, but TW is full of incredible additions to Android that I don't want to lose. I love the beauty of stock Android, but it's a fair trade for all of the functionality.

Question for all you experienced custom ROM installers: is there a custom JB rom in the wild that has everything working? I've been thinking about JB since it came out, and now I am reading that it might be another few months before we have the official T-Mobile version. I am finally tempted to root and do a custom rom.
So, is there a fully working, stable Cyogen Mod 10 out there? I am not interested in nightly builds. I would just like the experience one gets from a Nexus phone that is running vanilla JB.
Thanks!!

I say T-Mobile because the article is specifically referencing them. I've gone through all of the recent roms created by great devs like DJIntrigue which seem to be quite ready for prime time so it doesn't make much sense that there needs to be more "months" for a final release. We're not talking usability here as I assume most of us root our devices but it would be great to have faster availability of the latest Android firmware in case we wanted to run that.

The problem is carriers want to add in their own apps and "test" the update for compatibility with their networks...not to mention the majority of users aren't text savvy (or rooted, for that matter) and the carrier doesn't want to be flooded with "I updated mai fone and it's no worky no mo'" calls....
We may want faster availability, the carriers want people to pay upgrade fees (and/or buy devices outright) and less headaches....

Dj's and Wild's jb roms are fairly heavily modified. The leaks they are based on are still buggy and horrible on battery life.
I for one would much rather wait a few more months and get a solid release.
Besides, I'm willing to bet that most who are getting impatient waiting for the official release will wind up going back to custom roms within a couple of days anyway.
Plus, with how good Frosty and XquiziT are, you could pretend its based of the official release and be just as happy! (If I wanted to blame anyone it'd be them for raising the bar and forcing Tmobile and Sammy back to development!)
I honestly don't get all the impatience. With how hyped some folks are getting over it I can only see them being disappointed! Then we get to read all about how lame Sammy and Tmobile are for not taking the time to make it better!

No leaks anymore from samsung period! For any device.
It'd have to be leaked from tmobile for us to get it now.
That's how I understand it anyway. If you follow the build versions, there would've probably been about 9 other leaks by now, had they kept their systems up like they were.
(Last leak was LI8, new ota is LIJ) 9 builds in between. Also I'm guessing the jb update must not actually be ready. (Maybe they found something they didn't like)
They seem to be doing what I expected with having another official ICS update before JB.
I could be wrong of course. Time will tell.

Honestly, I remember back in the Epic 4G days when Samsung had the reputation that they did not support their devices, but it appears they've changed their attitude and now they're releasing updates like mad, even more efficiently than HTC is (at least for CDMA-based devices.)
If this is true, then the Samsung devs in charge of CDMA development will start porting it over to our devices. Perhaps we'll see RDFs in the next few days?

I had an Epic as well and it seemed like Samfirmware was our only hope. I share your sentiments and look forward to any changes Samsung is willing to make with regards to device updates.
I'm from the OG Epic as well (from its release to the s3 release); It is really refreshing to see them pushing out the updates for this phone!!
I too am from the OG Epic. People continuously blamed Samsung for the slow updates for it when in reality rdfs were being generated and test releases sent to Sprint almost daily and within weeks of the international update. I think the less intrusive touchwiz allows for faster updating. So hopefully we will see some rdfs reported soon.

Also a fellow OG Epic user ... boy I miss that phone (still drooling over that keyboard), but also love my GSIII. Nice to have the OG Epic family reunited here. If Samsung releases a 4.2 update for the GSIII in the near future, I'll take back all the bad things I said about them
hah what are the chances that 4.2 gets released before the s4 marketing train comes rolling through town

X2. Also, you see Samsung promo the crap out of this phone, unlike what they did with the OG Epic, so it seems that they're really behind this one.

That's because this phone is available for all major carriers. The Epic was only for Sprint thus Samsung relied on Sprint to advertise who decided to push the Evo instead.

"Reunions" like these make me miss the good ol' OG Epic threads...and the horribly timed updates
Having it ship with Éclair and not getting Froyo until half a year later. Then waiting for GB another 8 months...
*back on topic*
Sammy and the carriers (well atleast Sprint) have really come along way since...To be honest, they surprised me with the JB update. I hope they continue stride with 4.1.2 and/or 4.2 soon

Naw.. I think I'm done. Can't do it again. I'm burnt out. Probably just wait for GS4.

What was the wifi bug? Just curious because I've never run into issues with wifi.
