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.

  1. If your tired of waiting head to sammobile and download the update it works perfectly and great.. I know because i flashed mine… Speed improvements and battery life are great changes in the update

  2. 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. :(

  3. 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.

  4. I’ve been absent for a while, but now I remember why I used to love this site. Thank you, I’ll try and check back more frequently. How frequently you update your site?

  5. samsung is taking forever to update.

    thinking of upgrading to xxlq1.

  6. 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.

  7. As a Newbie, I am constantly exploring online for articles that can aid me.
    Thank you

  8. You made some good points there. I looked on the
    internet for the subject and found most individuals will agree with your blog.

  9. 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

  10. 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!

  11. actually for my tab 7.0 plus 3g=wifi, there has been notification for some firmware update probably from my carrier (SMART) but i dunno if this is realy OTA since ive been reading a lot and upgrades on via samsung KIES, so shud i or shud i not download the update?

  12. Actually, I talked to samsung via chat a few days ago, and those of us who own the Tab2 7.0 plus, P6200, well we are out of luck, samsung philippines told me they have no plans to upgrade to ICS, because of a browser conflict. I think it is a BS answer, and either they are unwilling to debug for our model, or they are too stupid.

    But I should not be surprised, anyone living in the Philippines, should know that customer service, and product support, DO NOT EXIST IN THIS COUNTRY. Pathetic, samsung philippines should be ashamed of themselves. I could list all the products of theirs that I own, but it would be a waste of time, and this tablet, is the LAST one I will buy from that brand.

  13. @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..

  14. Finally ICS 4.0.4 is now available from Kies for Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.7. I just finished my update.

  15. 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!!!

  16. I take pleasure in, result in I discovered exactly what I used to be having a
    look for. You have ended my four day lengthy hunt! God Bless you man. Have a great day.
    Bye

  17. Greetings! Very useful advice in this particular post!
    It is the little changes which will make the largest
    changes. Many thanks for sharing!
