Got the notification this afternoon on my Samsung Galaxy Note. It’s actually a firmware update that includes Android 4.0.3 ICS, a new S Note app, and new S Memo widget.
The whole update was about 319MB in size and took some half an hour to download and update on the Galaxy Note.
Aside from the usual added features from ICS, I could not recognize any differences in the UI. Samsung retained much of the TouchWiz UI on the ICS update so unless you really dig deeper into the handset, you won’t see the difference coming from Gingerbread.
The improvements with S Memo is really cool (now supports functions and equations) while the S Note widget enhancement is just minor.
Chime in at the comments section if your Galaxy Note also got the update.
I got the update notification kanina lang pero nacancel ko. I tried checking for updates pero wala daw! What should I do? I want to update mine to ICS
Dre try rebooting your mobile and check again. If that doesnt work try updating on you pc via kies. If that doesnt work call samsung. http://www.samsung.com/ph hope that helps
I did the same thing, kainis.
I’m updating now via Samsung Kies… hehehe! (Excited)
Uh, guys.. How do I update via Kies Air?
Oh wait. Nevermind. I’m downloading Samsung Kies. Hindi pala Kies Air. Haha! I’m going to try to update via Samsung Kies na
Well got my ICS update for SGNote this morning I think when I woke up it on ICS haha… Well mine is quite fast slight log. Well that is you should free the ram once in a while (killing unwanted applications). Well I hope you enjoy yours. By the way my Note came from Globe Telecom the open line one.
Got the update notification, too.. Just now
I just got mine too! Just now
I got the notification as well but did not tap on it. Now when I try to update using my note it says no update available. Is there a way to solve this?
Downloading right now. very slow, and I am thinking of cancelling and resuming later..
Battery must at least be 50% charge before one can download the update…
I hope that this is worth the very long wait.
I find it a bit laggy
Are you experiencing it, too?
Not really laggy… Works great for me… Playing rpg games right now actually… Pretty much fine… Be sure to clear up your ram once in a while… But iOS is much fluid and better in my opinion. Lol
At last, i’m currently downloading via wi-fi the ics upgrade to my samsung galaxy note. The file size is 327MB. There is even a timer on the screen that says how long it will take to download it onto the device that depends on the speed of your internet connection. This means my 7.7 galaxy tab would soon follow. Nice.
wow.sa akin lana nag aapear o dahil nag odin na ako tapos nagtry na ako ng german at taiwan
anu pagkakaiba ng hongkong na rom at sa philippines natin same lang din ba? kasi plan ko to downgrade to gingerbread and gamitin ko OTA or skies para mareceive ko automatic ang update para sa note ko talaga. any idea?
Mga sir, may nagkaproblema po ba sainyo ng pag update ng ICS via Kies? Laging nagta-timeout sakin. Ang shitty kasi ng Globe. Di kaya dahil dun bakit ako nagtatimeout?
nalalaglag yan tol tapos ayun uulit ulit siya hanggang matapos mo ulit. Pede din try mo muna download mismong ang file tapos odin nalang gamitn pang upgrade
anong ibig mong sabihin na nalalaglag? tsaka di ko alam kung pano idownload yung file pati update via odin. newbie lang ako sa pag update eh
updated to ics4 via kies
wow anu pagkakaiba tol? natry mo na ba gamitin angodin at ibang rom gagamitin mo instead na skies nag upgrade?

Finally upgraded my Note to ICS. Update notification prompted yesterday morning. Tried downloading it over-the-air (OTA) but it’s stopping halfway through. Several attempts after, it said that there’s no software update available so i tried to download it via Kies on my Macbook Pro. But then the Mac version of Kies is so buggy, it’s still not completing the download. So finally i just loaded Kies to my PC and i havent had a problem updating to ICS.
what is the version of your kies? I ctill can’t get any update OTA not kies,
Can’t update using Kies
Don’t know what’s wrong but good for you bro.

@bob I have the latest version of Kies both on Mac and PC but the PC platform is much more stable. If you didn’t get an update via OTA as well as on Kies then maybe your software update is still on its way
i guess i need to be more patient… patient since december last year.. sigh
I already installed German rom and then di masyado na satisfy sa lag niya kaya nag install ulit ako ng Taiwan/Hongkong rom ata then okay naman siya. Tapos nakita ko na release na agn ICS para sa Pinas. Kaya eto dinowngrade ko sa Gingerbread tapos mag try OTA saka sa skies kaso olats. Huhu, if hindi mag upgrade to hanggang bukas baka balik ko nalang sa ICS Hongkong, anu ba difference nila? Keyboard at language lang ba?
I update my note via OTA wala naman problema walang lag super fast ng ics sa note ko kaya lang ang bilis ng baterry ma drain…..
WOW GREAT! I rooted my GNote a week ago at sobrang nagwoworry ako dahil nagincrease ang flash counter (lumabas yung triangle thing sa boot up) at wala akong mahanap na pang reset ng flash counter, and the update to ICS removed it. so kapag nagbboot ako wala na yung warning triangle. S Note is great!
pretty satisfied and less heat-up from extensive use, unlike sa GB na minsan nakakapaso na yung init kapag matagal ginamit. I also like the new addition na kapag ginamit mo yung S-Pen at kapag nasa proximity siya nung screen lumalabas yung para cursor, at sobrang helpful lalo kpg nagddrawing ako ng diagrams. GREAT UPDATE, and a MUST UPDATE for all GNote users ^^
