Well that sucks. Two questions, when you connect to Kies, does your tablet show up at all? Or is Kies not supported on the Tablet?

With mine, I tried to “initialize firmware update”, and my model was not supported for that. But, when I connected to Kies, and just let it do it’s thing, it looked at my current firmware, then notified me of an update. It was a hassle, took a few tries, and about 2 hours to get the ICS installed, but now it works fine.

Try going here to ask your question.

Yep. I tried installing Kies 2.3.something.. but when I tried connecting my Tab 8.9, it says that my device is not supported. So I can’t update thru OTA or Kies. Bummer right? :-(

RJ, if you don’t have Kies installed on a computer, you won’t be able to get the update. I just got mine on the P6200 Galaxt Tab2, 7.0 plus, so you probably have it too, but can only install it through kies interface.

You can submit a question to samsung.com/ph, but I doubt it will do you much good, they are worthless in customer service.

Sir Yuga, is there a way for you to ask someone from Samsung Philippines as to when are they planning to release ICS on Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 3G+wifi. It is already September 22, 2012 and I am not yet seeing any OTA update from them! Nakakainis na sila!!!

@Anthony
Argghh, I was kinda disappointed with your previous post when Samsung said they are NOT coming up with an update kaya kina-reer ko magresearch about rooting my Tab and decided to give it a go. Thank goodness it went smoothly naman and I read your most recent post right after I was done. Thanks for the update though..

Hello Katy, I contacted samsung philippines, and they sent this reply to me. Do NOT do the update from any site that claims to be ICS for your tablet. Samsung Philippines is coming out with it (so they claim) and you can do the upgrade through Keis, when it is available. Or, if you have internet using Smart/Globe USB, then you can install the SIM from the USB directly into your tablet, and get the update that way.

If you are on a 999 plan, and you are using the USB dongle, I highly recommend that you use the tablet as your gateway to the internet. If you insert the SIM from the dongle into your tablet, you will get much faster speeds. Also, you can then set up a “wifi hotspot”, and share your connection with other devices. I use my tablet mainly for this purpose. I have 2 laptops, 2 phones, a TV, and a desktop, all connecting to the internet through my Galazy Tab2 7.0 plus.

Once again, we do apologize for the inconvenience Mr. Anthony.
