Gingerbread and Honeycomb updates coming to Galaxy Tab? - Galaxy Tab General

http://androidcommunity.com/galaxy-...on-the-roadmap-claims-samsung-india-20101103/

Thought we was going to get Gingerbread but didn't think Honeycomb was coming to us!!
Sent from my GT-P1000

Oh I really hope this is true and they will update us to Honeycomb!

Samsung Hub updated their original post after they were questioned on it... they now say:
"Samsung India just contacted us stating that they cannot assure about the future upgrades but will be working hard to keep the Galaxy Tab updated."

apparently they have now doubled back again and in fact will be offering both updates for the tab

[Q] Android 3.1

When I was looking for a date when the Galaxy Tab 10.1v would get an update to Android 3.1 i found this link.
http://mobile.downloadatoz.com/tuto...-1-8-9-7-to-update-android-3-1-honeycomb.html
Can it be or not? Can't even find the download though.
Do you guys know when Samsung will release 3.1 officially?
This is most certainly fake. First of all the picture doesn't even have honeycomb on it. Secondly they say that the Galaxy Tab 10.1 will be the first device to get 3.1 while the others are waiting just to get gingerbread 2.3.4
Two things wrong with that, the xoom already has 3.1 and they are comparing a tablet which will get 3.1 eventually to other "devices" waiting for 2.3.4 which are smartphones which will never get 3.1 because 3.1 is intended for tablets and google tv.
This is one of those crap put together sites with misinformation.
He's absolutely crazy if he think the Galaxy Tab 7 is getting Android 3.1 anytime soon (if ever).

I am not sure, but I am hoping the update is out by June 8th when they release the Samsung 10.1 in US.
I can at least give you somewhat good news. Android 3.1 was released last Friday in the US on the Motorola Xoom. So it is officially out and I am assuming and hoping that it should be released shortly on the Samsung.

Official ICS for our tab?

Read this article. It mentions other Samsung devices confirmed as getting ICS. Is the "galaxy tab 7" our device, or is it referring to the "plus" version?

Well, when u go to the link for the 7.0 it takes u to an advertisement for the 7.0 plus, so probably not. But, I'm sure there are some genius and generous devs on here that are going to give it a try!
It hasn't been 'unconfirmed' yet so you never know. .....
Sorry guys, but theres no ICS upgrade forthcoming from official channels. Samsung has confirmed that the entire Tab line, EXCEPT for the original (ours) will be getting the upgrade. Custom builds are likely in development with source code available but there'll be nothing official.

I think you are right
I'm not holding my breath. They made it pretty clear they weren't going to give it a Honeycomb upgrade, why would they do ICS?. After all, they would much rather you buy their new tablets.
Shame, thank god for the wonderful devs on here Personally, I think Samsung owes it to the people who went out and bought this tab to give us an official upgrade

I highly doubt that Samsung will offer an official upgrade to ICS for the original Tab. However, am I right in thinking that the hardware in the Tab basically matches the SoC and memory configuration in the Nexus S? If so surely that bodes well for the ability of the Tab to eventually run ICS seeing as the Nexus S will receive and official version of ICS.
Samsung doesn't even bother to give Gingerbread update for P-1010 and you would like ICS? Get serious. And no devs here bother to do anything for P-1010 also, not even CWM. This line of tabs is forgotten from anybody. If you want ICS buy yourself a proper tablet.
here it says "project stopped".
If you read the thread to the end you'll see that other guys are actively working on it.
Samsung just confirm the dual-core phones because they know that ics will work, for single cores like p1000 they will test first.

Possibly true for other Samsung devices but the P1000 and P1010 (and associated variants) will *not* receive an ICS update. Unfortunately, Samsung confirmed that the newer ones would be the only ones from the Tab line to get ICS.

Which one is a proper tablet?
i second that for cdma... have alpha build on evo would love to see the tablet version running on my cdma sprint tab
Wishful thinking getting ICS officially on our Tablets. After the "Gingerbread" update I am not sure I want to have an official version from Samsung.

Gingerbread P1010 for Korean Galaxy Tabs

According to this webpage the Korean Galaxy Tab got the gingerbread update on November 2, 2011
http://www.samsung.com/sec/consumer/mobile-phone/mobile-phone/wi-fi/SHW-M180WCWOO-support
I was wondering if we have anyone from Korea who can confirm that they actually were able to get the gingerbread update... and i wonder when the rest of the GT-P1010 tabs will get the gingerbread update
Sorry

Sorry to tell you this but I was able to download the supposed tar file for the update but unfortunately I learned from it that the korean model uses the same Samsung SOC as the P1000, while our P1010 uses a lower performance TI OMAP. So I'm guessing that's why they got Gingerbread update and we most likely will never get it the worst part is that without Gingerbread bootloaders development is effectively stuck since all the "cool stuff" is developed for GB based devices
Thats gay... samsung seriously screwed up big time... they are just diggin a big hole of unsatisfied customers... after experiences like this u really start hating a company like that... no tech support, no reliable info, total lack of communication, and list could probably go on...
i am glad my next android tablet was asus eee pad transformer... been using it for 4 months and the support n upgrades have been smooth, quick, and most of all very stable...
Well, let's hope I'm wrong. Under all pronostics Samsung updated its GT-I5510 but I wouldn't get my hopes up for the P1010 seeing all the new tabs they're releasing and being the only one with the OMAP processor. It's a shame that Samsung makes these really great phones, I actually really like them, but the update support, ugh... it's just inexistant. A real pitty
Oh samsung, this is because everyday they do another tab.

Woho! I don't know much about the nuts and bolts of developing/hacking a custom ROM together - but is it safe to assume we'll be able to finally get the ICS drivers for the Tab 10.1 out of this and apply it to CM9/AOKP/etc?

Not yet,
I have kept my tab stock and will do so until the official ics is out. I just checked before making this post.
When I get it, I'll update here unless someone else beats me to the punch like the Canadian 3.2 update.
Regards.
Edit. In Canada the Rogers tabs recieved 3.2 before the wifi only models....grumble! So someone with a Canadian 4g model may want to check as well.

does it matter if the wifi only tab is rooted only or not? I haven't received any updates but only thing I did to it was root it.

Unfortunately just Samsung releasing the an ICS rom for our tabs won't fix in a single thing in cm9 until Samsung releases the kernel source code that they have to by law(GPL licencing). This kernel source code is what will allow developers to get the camera working on cm9. Samsung seems to release the source code within a couple of weeks after an official rom release. Which sounds bad, but unfortunately Samsung is one of the fastest companies to release source code, some can take months. Even with the source code, to get the camera to work on cm9 will take a lot of effort to do, it's not just as simple as dragging and dropping something and could take a little to a lot of time to fix. With out this source code, an official ICS rom is meaningless for development of cm9. In other words even after we get ICS from Samsung, we still have a long and bumpy ride. I hope this helps you
connected to kies and no update was found....sad face
Got my hopes up for nothing almost time to root agen
I have a completely stock "4G" rogers tab and nothing so far.
Thanks for the quick updates everyone! I'm hoping to get this before my trip on wednesday but I probably shouldn't hold my breath.
I currently have a CM9 kang on here, if I follow the overcome instructions to get back to stock, will that leave me with stock US or is it generic? What differentiates the two models?
Cheers

You need to return to stock in order to receive OTA updates.

I just got an update on my WiFi Tab 10.1, but it's not ICS... it says Android 3.2. The update gave me a new back button (it's curved now) and a new app called AllShare. Was this an update that I totally missed that came out earlier? When did it come out?
Also, when ICS does come, will I get it sooner OTA or via Kies?
Damn Canadians!!! lol jk
saw an update after engadgets news about ics update, was excited until i realized it is not ics its just 3.2 after it finished update
Damn this thread! It is making me restore my backup I made in anticipation of ICS lol
no update for 4g tab on rogers...

The reason why the ICS-update will possibly never get a full ww-release

I had a discussion today with a local Samsung office regarding why the Official ICS update for Galaxy tab P7500 will properly never get a WW-release.
I put the question to the Samsung official that if forever delayed ICS update for GT-P7500 had something to do with their court-battles with Apple regarding GT-P7500 and the Ipad. The Samsung official more or less hinted that the reason for the ICS update has not been released WW and most likely never wll be for the device has something to do with their legal problems with this specific device.
So there you have it folks.

The court has said recently that Sammy did not violate any patents regarding apple's iPad which is why the ban was withdrawn last week on tab 10.1 sales even though it doesn't matter now
Thus I do not see how what u said adds up!
PS: I think Samsung has to pay $2 billion to apple but they did appeal so the frenimies are having the time of their lives while we suffer in agony from lack of updates and options!

How did you contact them?
I'd like to ask about why there's no JB!
I'm off to Asus for my future purchases.
According to this german Blog the official ICS update for the Gt-7500 is rolled out in Germany starting now:

So far now news about the GT-7510
Version is P7500XXLQ8 (IMM76D.XWLP6)
