Samsung Galaxy Tabs to get ICS, soon

As some Android users await the official OT Jelly bean update, some are still stuck at GB and Honeycomb waiting for an ICS update. If you’re one of them and you own one of the newer versions of Galaxy Tab, then that long and agonizing wait is about to be over.

Our source said that an Android 4.0.4 update has already begun rolling out for some Galaxy Tabs and the global update is imminent in the coming weeks.

Here’s the list of those slates:

GT-P6210 Galaxy Tab Plus 7.0 WiFi
GT-P6200 Galaxy Tab Plus 7.0 WiFi + 3G
GT-P6810 Galaxy Tab 7.7 WiFi
GT-P6800 Galaxy Tab 7.7 WiFi + 3G
GT-P7310 Galaxy Tab 8.9 WiF
GT-P7300 Galaxy Tab 8.9 WiFi + 3G
GT-P7510 Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi
GT-P7500 Galaxy Tab 10.1 WiFi + 3G

Although there’s no word on the exact date when the update will be rolled out here, we suggest to start checking for the ICS update on Samsung Kies or on your tablet once in a while some time next time next week.

If you’re an owner of one that tablets above, you might feel a bit disappointed about the late release of the update. I know I’d be. And what adds insult to the injury is that it’s not Jellybean. But looking at the brighter side even if the update was late and it’s not the Jelly bean update that you’d hope for, at least Samsung has still made an effort to bring you up to speed and a step closer to the new OS.

Last year, I remember reading an article on the Samsung website saying that indeed they will release the ICS for those tabs. They said the release date was “some time during the 1st quarter of 2012.” It’s already July and still nothing. After reading this Yuga article, I’m not sure how true it is time time around, but I’m not holding my breath. :(

bon, austria and other european countries have started receiving ics since yesterday.

according to reports, samsung is distributing by regions.

there will also be no notifications because the only way to upgrade is via kies and there will be no ota update.

who knows, the asian market might be next, or tomorrow. (no update tonight. i just checked.)

I’ve already flashed and upgraded my Samsung Galaxy 7.7 to ICS! :) It’s been 18 Hours, and no complaints. So much better than HC.

Here’s the link – http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=5207

And don’t worry, even if it’s made for other regions (Australia, etc.), my still works. Everything is just peachy.

Note that this Samsung 7.7 Firmware is only for the 6800 (Wifi+3G) model.

ok, so eventually, i upgraded to ics.

here’s what’s wierd: setting apn type to “internet” won’t let me connect via 3g; setting apn type to blank would let me connect.

it’s opposite with my stock rom, dlxa2, and my galaxy y.

I’ve learned newer and more effective things from your blog post. Also a thing to I have found is that typically, FSBO sellers may reject anyone. Remember, they will prefer not to use your services. But if you maintain a gentle, professional romance, offering support and keeping contact for around four to five weeks, you will usually be capable to win a conversation. From there, a listing follows. Thanks a lot

It’s already the 17th of August and still no sign of ICS for my 7.7 (P6800)

Really, this is taking Samsung too damn long. I sure would like to head to sammobile and flash my tab as suggested above, but I am afraid that if something goes wrong, Samsung might void my warranty. Jeepers!
