This is what T-Mobile estimates. They say ICS is rolling out currently in the UK on GS2 devices and he expects it to roll out within a month on our devices. He said this will include the blurry MMS fix.
This is fantastic news. I can't wait to get some stock ICS roms

Unless your speaking to someone in charge of the updates T-Mobile has no idea when ICS will be deployed for the GS2. The sensation ics has already been out for a while yet they still haven't pushed out and last info we had was that it would be going into testing soon as well as the amaze that was over a month ago. I highly doubt the t989 will see ics soon officially.

Totally agree no customer care Rep or tech Rep know when ics is coming. Heck my buddy works for tech center he even asked the support team that's in charge of testing and they dont even know so sorry to burst ur bubble

I believe your telling the truth its just that there is no way anyone you talked to had any clue what they are talking about. Also hell will freeze over before we get it in a month.

It's a fact, 30 Helens agree it's better to wait for your Ice Cream Sandwich.
But then again, with the Skyrocket leak we might be closer than we realize. Of course, it will drop when it drops so I'm not holding my breath in the meantime.

While I appreciate your "spreadin the good word" n all, the rep was probably just eager to get off the phone :S
For what its worth and I have no reason to lie
For what its worth my friend works at tmobile and they had a meeting about ICS "lol" and said that ota's would be rolling out at the end of April. And that is what the reps are to tell the customers. Maybe we will get a leak he also said that Samsung had released it months ago for our phones. I guess t-mobile is just bloating the crap out of it.

Interesting, yet part of me wouldn't be surprised if T-mobile didn't release it until next year, we may even get the 2.3.6 ICS update from them. I'm no longer interested in the anticipation, we should all focus on SR ports.

Yep like I said before t mobile has lied to me multiple time, guess some news it better then no news.

Lol...they promised updates to me over the phone countless times over the phone for the G2X. When it drops, it drops..."coming in a month" is what they always say
But I hope for our sake it is true

T-Mobile Developer I know..., it was suppose to come in may but since the T-Mobile apps isn't working they not releasing it til the T-Mobile apps work correctly because Samsung has a contract to fulfill with T-Mobile apps. Til they get it to work on the T-Mobile SII no ICS.
Deeerrrppp
Not to be the "I know a guy" -guy. but "I know a guy" an Sammy Regional Sales Exec. -in the U.S. mind you, they are shooting for mid-month April and expected to have it released for sure by the end of 3rd/4th week (T989 Hercules) at the very latest. I don't care what you believe, just think all you people need something else to do, all ICS rumor guys out there. They are still only a couple weeks behind their scheduled goal they had stated in November, pretty standard. And hit the Q1 goal for a bunch of S2 handsets... Truth also is they didn't even start adjusting their goal of releasing the Galaxy 3 at the end of April until this week, which means that will be out in the next 6 or so weeks too. about a month after we get our update and about a month + before the iphone 5 release. If you think I'm crazy show me your DERP face and we'll talk again in a month so I can send you one back, and sales works on different floor, basically different world from the developers so I've got no info on why the ICS hasn't been finished yet? and carrier reps (T-Mobile) are the last to hear anything for obvious reasons so figure that one out too...duuurrrr
Hey, I was chatting with Samsung, and they kept giving me the runaround "we don't know, it will be on the website" and she kept referencing "the team" who works on the software... so I asked for the software team email address, and she could not do that. But that she would "send feedback about my request" when I asked if they could email me back when they get my request, she said that they would update the website. I asked what they would do with my request and she said " they could release the update quicker".
Does that sound right? If more people ask, they will release it faster?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I927 using XDA
Good idea. I'll see if I can do that too later tomorrow Good first step!
two things:
1.) If they (Samsung) have not released the update yet, a longer wait is gonna happen. Might be because of carrier issues (like ATT and Rogers adding bloats etc).
2.) If they already released the update to carriers, it's ATT/Rogers doing that's keeping ICS delayed. Samsung might not tell customers about this, well, maybe they don't want to point fingers..
This is only what I think....talking through experience...
Adding bloat. Give a few apks, samsung puts that in system/app in the zip, done >_>
But there's a point in the passing down to carriers...if this holds true should we try ATT soon? However I think they have a deadline by end of this quarter. They did say "coming months..."

Ive read all over the internet that the OTA update for the T-Mobile Galaxy S3 is a leaked version...so when does the REAL official update get released??
No one knows for sure, not even Samsung. It was said to be 8/29 which obviously didn't happen. Now they're saying possibly this month. But who knows.. these things change all the time. My guess is about a week before the iPhone 5 hits.... cynical? Perhaps...

I live down the street from T-Mo headquarters here in Bellevue, WA, and I have a couple of friends that work in the dev department and they said within the next week. Before the iPhone5 announcement is actually a very very good guess.
Seeing as we have had a couple of decent leaks, the last one being pretty stable, it shouldn't be too much longer.
No one not even Samsung or Tmobile knows when its going to drop.

They said the Korean one would, I don't think they said ours would. Sprint is probably slowing them down. Still got 14 days in December left!
Sent from my LG-LS970 using Tapatalk 2
Sprint doesn't slow down releases. I know this for a fact. Their testing process takes one week. If it passes they put it out within a week after the testing. So, if LG sends them an OTA we get it in two weeks.
The only thing better would be getting it sent straight from the manufacturer.
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda premium
Yeah sprint is a lot better than att and Verizon both of those companies are horrible when it comes to updates. I guess the big hold up is LG and getting a stable build out for these phones. I hope we can get it prior to the new year. But then again I would he happy to just have a stable of aosp build prior to The new year
Between now and February.

Korea is getting Jelly Bean this month.
US release is sometime in Q1 of 2013. So we're talking anywhere between January and March.

So essentially, they slow it down by two weeks? That's not too bad I guess.
If I understand correctly the biggest thing holding our phone back is the firmware version. It's possible we'll get that update with VZ9, which appears to be around the corner. Some of the devs have been working on a new kernel to bypass this firmware incompatibility.
So, while I don't know what I'm talking about, it seems logical that we could get a JB rom sooner than Sprint releases it. In short, Korean JB + new kernel + VZ9 = JB rom. Maybe?

Geeze, I really dislike LG over this...
As a flagship phone, they went in with guns blazing, but failed on a critical point... Android 4.2.
Having to wait that long is ridiculous.
Mainly because I came from a straight AOSP Galaxy Nexus running 4.2.
This phone will be complete once I have my MIUI and flashy AOKP.

More like January or Feb, I'd say or maybe never...at least for the Sprint variant. It isn't in Sprint's interest to push updates unless the other carriers do. Of course Samsung wants to get these updates moving because they want the public to feel they'll be supported if they purchase a Samsung branded device but brand loyalty isn't in Sprints interests unless the brand is Sprint and that of course is usually maintained at the end of a very thin thread as it is.
As for the possibility of receiving the 4.3 update. I'm always excited about OTA updates because updates play a fairly big role in future versions of Android. The more updates there are the more well understood it is what the public wants/needs from future versions because of the broader spectrum of users providing feedback.
For my own personal device...I don't care. I run what I want on my device anyway regardless of whatever Samsung/Sprint/Google push. I don't give a rats ass about having a "pure" Android experience or being the first to get the latest version (no offense to the Nexus fans) either. I want my device dirty and nasty with a big moustache. I don't want be like one of those creeps that hangs around the strip clubs but never pays for a lap dance...I'm in the champaign room and let me tell you there is more going on in there than the song says. Why do you think I'm hanging around here? Trick it, brick it, fix it, trick it and brick it again...that's what it all about.

a million times, this.. love the removable battery and storage but not sure if it's worth the [email protected]!%
Yea don't really care because Google separated their core services from the operating system so most of the really great feature are now pushed through Google rather than being a part of a new os version.
Android updates aren't as feature rich anymore.

To the ones complaining who are you going to then? Unless its a Google phone it will be the same across all manufacturers. At least we have a date. Samsung actually announces all devices that will be upgraded at the same time unlike others like HTC who just tells u that their it phone of the moment will be upgraded while the rest get lost in forgotten land. Samsung actually has been the best non Google manufacturer with updates to their Galaxy line..

Pretty sure that you're missing the point.
The updates that we all are anxious for are system updates that ROM devs can work with, make better ROMs for us all. Definitely worth "complaining" about.
That other thread is about a fault where the phone thinks it needs a software update, but not really, or the update in question is actually not desirable for whatever reason.
