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.
Got mine update weeks ago. No lags. Hindi rin nagfe-freeze. Walang ibang problem except sa overheating pag nag charge and sobrang bilis mang drain ng battery.
same here, mine doesn’t heat up as much kesa nung gingerbread.
ICS not good for Note… Slower, more lags ad forced closes. Incompatible apps and the Gallery freezes when multiple apps are open unlike when I was in GB, everything is smooth… Any way I can revert back to GB without root? It does not give much feature anyway..
yes you can flash back to GB without root. i was on an official ICS, I found that everything was fine,nothing really new, kind of lags a bit like you said which was ok, then, i notice the screenlock doesn’t work, sh**t! it’s bad because i want to sell my note . so i just flashed a stock GB rom via odin, rebooted, had Force closes, rebooted again and it was perfect after that, I’m on GB again, yay!
That’s the main reason why Samsung keeps on delaying the release of ICS for SGNote.
Why am I not receiving any update on my G-Note?
samsung is shit.until now my galaxy note cannot update to ics fuck samsung
I’ll update it for you :D
Yo guys, tanong ko lang kung pano magupdate via Odin?

May warranty pa yung Note ko, hindi kaya magiging void yung warranty ko?
Well, once you flashed your device using “unofficial methods” the flash counter will increase. Malalaman mo yun tuwing i-bboot mo yung GNote mo, may warning triangle below the “Galaxy Note N-7000” sa boot-up screen. if ever na ibabalik mo sa service center yan malalaman nila na tampered yung device mo at void na ang warranty mo. Naghahanap ako ng pang-reset ng counter, marami na akong natry pero walang gumagana.
well di naman iincrease counter mo kahit ano dito sa mga ito i-flash mo kasi these are all STOCK ROMS, meaning official firmwares mga to hindi lang nga official ang pag-update mo kasi via odin, ang official yung through OTA or kies talaga, so hindi ma void warranty mo pag stock roms iflash mo kasi di iincrease counter.
what increases the counter ay kung CUSTOM firmware na nilagay mo, mga rocketROM, cyanogenmod, etc. cheers!
Does it? haha, I’ve never flashed official ROMs using unofficial methods. May point ka nga naman na official roms shouldn’t increase flash counter, but have you tried? I haven’t tried it. itong official ICS yung first Kies update ko, the rest were customs, mostly Cyanogen mods. kinompare ko lang kasi yung CM9 with ofc. ICS. :D thanks for correcting.

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 ^^
