Android 4.0 (ICS) - when?

[Kicksilver]

Damn, I don't think Galaxy S will receive ICS. :/

 

[Erlander]

Samsung took down the notice they had on their site under News and Alerts.

This could be a stupid question, nay, perhaps a VERY stupid question......

But if I have an unlocked gs2 that is STILL on 2.3.4, then will updating to ICS when it comes out tomorrow include all the improvements that 2.3.5/2.3.6/2.3.7 had included with them??


Forgive the ignorance........

It is a complete OS upgrade so you can't really say all the updates will be in this build. If there were bugs in Gingerbread, I'm sure google addressed them in this update.

Might not be updating. You probably need to do a factory reset and wipe cache meaning have to redo everything again....

 

[antpal]

The statement was apparently made in error. No ICS until further notice.

 

[dunjamon]

Hmmm...I'll wait till I actually see it before getting too excited.

 

[steslatt]

Samsungs twitter page have said the date was a mistake and there is still no official release date.

All ICS speculation threads merged into this one.

Note: when the update starts rolling out a topic has been created here

http://androidforums.com/samsung-ga...7-new-thread-ics-official-update-release.html

to advise users of the carriers/handset versions involved.

Excellent.

But how do I update my phone that's running Frankenstein firmware?

 

[slugger09]

this really is hilarious, I get the impression Samsung dont have a clue.

The same way you installed that firmware.... via Odin when it becomes available. Or flash back to a stock ROM to enable updating via Kies.

Nice. I'll wait till it's available via ODIN.

Really we shouldnt have to wait too long for vodafone to release ics to us bcoz they have bloated all there stuff onto the nexus so we should get the same os. (hopefully).

 

[Njd4]

I'm hoping this isn't correct.... :-(

Maybe, but the nexus doesn;t have Touchwiz, so it's not quite the same creature at all.

Not quite true... If you don't know, Google or Wikipedia, then ask.

 

[oisteing]

Just back from Samsung support. ICS out today, they said. Has to be done via Kies, but I don't know if that's correct.
Unbranded phones first, I understood it to be.
