Ics coming next month?

Yesterday, during an Android gathering in LA, LA Gadgets Examiner confirmed with an Android insider that Google, HTC
and Samsung are doing everything they can to bring Android 4.0 to their smartphones. The EVO 3D and Galaxy S II were
specifically mentioned as scheduled to receive the update sometime next month.<===from talkandroid

It may be released next month by Google. But the US carriers are going to take a couple months to get them to us, the consumer.
For example, Samsung already gave Sprint the update for our phones beginning of October, but we won't be getting it until December.

I highly doubt Samsung gave Sprint the ICS update for the SGS2 already.

I bet if that update was for the IPhone Sprint would have rolled it out already and wasted no time in supporting it.
Now I am talking about Apple updates here not Samsung. Just saying that if Sprint would have gotten a update from Apple the Apple users would have gotten it already. Unlike all the other users who has to wait and wait and be treated like a red headed step child.

The difference is that Apple sends updates directly. Samsung goes through Sprint. Sprint doesn't have much of a say as to when an Apple update gets released.

Yes, I meant the LoS update, not the ICS update, lol.

You never know, it could be ICS. The Galaxy Nexus has ICS and it's Samsung. It's not too far fetched to say that Samsung has an ICS build for our phone already.

..... Even if they said next month expect it 2013 ... This is samsung.

That was also before they made the promise to deliver the updates to devices that can get them in a reasonable time.
The moment got 3 or 4 updates in it's lifespan. It actually had 2.1 before the Hero.
The Epic got boofed sure, but still, I think this one will be different, and I think the Epic is the reason they didn't go with a whole new form factor.

Hopefully Samsung will follow HTC's lead. HTC announced 8 devices today that will be getting ICS in early 2012. 2 Sprint phones are on that list. http://tinyw.in/Fw1H

No offense but people have been saying that for months. I am just as guilty. Everyone just needs to sit back and wait for the official ota. And honestly OP why does it surprise you that they released to S3 first? Financially think about it, why would samsung put out an update for a phone that is basically old news.
Dont get me wrong I love my e4gt but the s3 has much better specs.

it did and still does (i believe) but it also only has leaked ICS just like the E4GT. we are talking about the T-mobile and ATT SGSII got the ICS OTA already

Why does everyone care? Isn't that the reason that we are all on this site? To make our phones better then anything that is delivered OTA by Sprint? Sure the ROMs would be even better with source, but many of them are already incredibly good, and probably better then any stock ROM...

i dont really care for an OTA but i would like the source. there is so much more we could do if we had it....

Samsung is not holding up the show Sprint is.

It makes business sense. If we had ICS first I can easily see some people not upgrading to the S3. It has a nicer screen, a physical home button and better performance. That's really all it has over our S2.
The performance isn't even necessary, the S2 is still perfectly fast and will last us to the S4 at least.

Isn't the source for the Sprint E4GT out now? http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/receptionSub.do?method=search&searchValue=l710

I'm quite fond of the Four buttons at the bottom of my S2, I'd really rather not be stuck with just one, as on the S3 (reminds me of the iPhone)..
I also don't mind waiting for the Official OTA, after all, I much prefer a polished and stable release over something that could mess up my phone in anyway (even if it's just minor).

There's 3 buttons, but the home/ok button works as a mouse like on the Moment. You still get capacitive List and Back buttons.

Multiscreen update COMING SOON

According to gotta be mobile an update for the American version of the note 2 IS going to be ready soon and shortly after that pushed out to Carriers for OTA release
multiscreen IS part of this update, so it appears we should have it in several weeks!
heres the article itself check it out

The article is about the original Note. The only place I see the Note 2 mentioned is in the title.

A few weeks so it coincides with the Verizon release, roughly, huh? This is excellent news!
Oh wait..this update is for the original Note. Still, makes me hopeful. Maybe if they push it out for the s3 and OG Note around that time..we will get it too.

I don't see why they had to omit the feature in the first place. Like theres a processor difference or something. Glad to see it coming, but it should have been there in the first place.

Hop some one can in port a international version soon or. Or can cm10
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

It's not so much it was omitted on purpose, but that Samsung has to work with the carriers so they can add their bloatware. This most likely caused Samsung to send an earlier version of the Touchwiz'd Android so that the carriers have enough time to put in their software and tweaks and still release the phones in a timely fashion. The US variants were already released a month after the international version. We probably wouldn't have the US Note II for T-Mobile today had Samsung taken more time to get multi-window working before submitting the software to the carriers to do their thing.

That's the most logical explanation I've read thanks, so are you confident that when it is enabled for AT&T I'm hearing soon that T-Mobile will not be left behind?
I also heard that Wi-Fi will be improved along with adding the spit-screen multi-tasking multi-view, does that suggest the Wi-Fi is currently unreliable?
Also what ever happened to Samsung Galaxy Note II Screen Recorder function?
I'd like to stop having to seriously consider the international models..Thnx

This was being discussed in another thread and someone pointed out that it's probably something like Wi-Fi calling which is making it take longer than the Sprint update.

If Sprint is releasing it already & AT&T & Verizon are expected to have it by Nov 27th, what is the likelihood that T-Mobile will not have it this month?
Also what ever happened to the Galaxy Note II Screen Recorder function ?

Why would you think that when every other major carrier is likely getting it this month like the international Note2 has on 4.1 (before a 4.2 update that could take months for any US Note2)?
Could we get T-Mobile to comment on being competitive on this considering Sprint is releasing it already & AT&T & Verizon are expected to have it by Nov 27th?

S3 gets our features first

The galaxy s3 is getting our multi window, split screen features before we do. Sad face!

No they don't. This just means that Samsung is releasing it to the S3, which they already did to the Note 2. The carriers still have to approve it and release it to the devices, so it's going to be a while until the AT&T S3 gets it.

They also had to wait 3 weeks longer to touch their phones. It's a trade-off, for sure. For all we know, that's why Verizon delayed releasing their phone, so they could update the firmware with multiview (and add their bloatware to it!).

meh, don't really care for it.

Yeah its not all that great, though I have only been playing around with it for a day

I think you'll only really hear people who are anal about rooting their phones, who tend to always complain about stock UI. I've owned HTC phones with stock Sense and Samsung phones with stock TouchWiz, and I've yet to find anything so terrible about either, that I feel I simply must root my phone to replace it. What exactly is so bad about stock UI?? Maybe someone can point some things out to shed a light on what I may be missing due to my ignorance.

Note 2 uodate to 4.3

was doing a Lil reading on the Interweb, seen a few post about the Galaxy note 2 possibly skipping 4.2 update and going straight to 4.3. It's suggested that the update might come out sometime in October. Not getting my hopes up it is the interweb lol. Anybody know what are some of the upgrades or tweaks they changed from 4.1 to 4.3

Sent from my rooted speak&spell

FYI October date if for international Touchwiz phones, not US carriers. Will be months later before US carriers accept what Sammy gives them, adds their files and then decides when it is a good time to push it.

To add to that^, I have a Galaxy S4, that I'm selling, but every other major carrier in the US, Canada, and really much of the world, has received an update so you can move apps to the SD card months ago.
T-Mobile? Not a single word about it.
It will be months after international gets 4.3 for the other 3 major carriers in the US. And likely months after that that T-Mobile sends it out.

Im with you that's why I stick to stock roms but tweak them to what I want, tired of flashing different roms to find one that is close to what I want but has extra crap I don't want either broken or its just like having the boatware the carrier installs. Yes the Developers do a great job here at xda over the cell phone carriers. I haven't found one that fits what I want( mostly get rid of bloatware and a few tweaks I like) and one thing is I don't complain and do give thanks, cause I don't develop.
To all you developers who read this you do amazing work. I'm not putting you down, I'm a select few who likes to take your mods and add them to my stock rom that's all
