I know some people in Samsung and i`ve worker with them and i`d like to tell you that Samsung dont give a f**k on consumer people, even the business one. They only care about $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ like al big companys but they are the 1st on ifnoring consumer delight.

It's a good idea, but it won't work. I read somewhere that Honeycomb wouldn't go to devices that shipped with FroYo. Think it was a statement from Google too.

This petition is completley and utterly pointless. Its not upto Samsung or any other manufacturer if HC is released, Its up to google! Google isn't under any sort of legal obligation to release source at all. Its not like kernels where they are obliged to because of GPL.
So this petition isn't going to solve a damn thing.
The reason why HC has not been released is for one reason and one reason only and that's because they are trying to build a good and reliable range of HC Tablets. If they were to release the source you would get and endless amount of cheap/**** Chinese tablets that would dilute the product range and give a crappy impression on customers.

+1 .. agreed in every word you said ..
lets be logical .. HC for tab7.1 is ain't gonna happen , only Spacemoose1 can make this happen

Unless someone is going to pay for the development fees, Samsung would be dumb to invest time in this rather than on new product lines.

Dude, hes not talking about XDA "devs" hes talking about Samsung "devs"

Request to Samsung
Yes , You Right
But I would like Samsung before our friends in this forum to waste your precious time to do this, he proceeded to release versions for Galaxy tablet

i dont know, although it would have been great for both google and samsung to support HC on the SGT, i think id still prefer one built by the community. although there is more work involved it would still prove how far the community has come along, with people like spacemoose1 we can realy see the dedication to the coding they put behind their work.

no i agree with you there, we probaly wont see an offical update till 3.1 or something later comes out from google. personaly ive been using spacemoose1's gsm version of HC which so far runs nicely

There is power in numbers. Sadly, I don't think we have enough power. SGT is a great device tho. So glad that we have a booming a community and great developers.

The fact is, it needs to be pushed by Google to Samsung. Google *stated* that any tablet that originally shipped with FroYo wont get Honeycomb. As we know, the SGT came with FroYo, so no official Honeycomb for us. And a petition won't change that, reguardless of how many people we have.

Straight up, they didn't release it as Euro and Asian Tabs can make phone calls and Honeycomb doesn't do phone calls. They are not going to split their market because some XDA users are pissed. Oh, and money.

Samsung: No Honeycomb for Galaxy Tab.

CLARIFICATION: SamFirmware.com is NOT directly affiliated with Samsung Corp., but have links with them apparently (which explains how the ROMs leak).
Seen on Tweeter:
@SamFirmware
"Samsung: No Android 3.0 for Galaxy Tab."
http://twitter.com/#!/SamFirmware/status/55595012687282177
"today in meeting Samsung told me no 3.0 for Galaxy Tab. (Problem = Hardware.)"
http://twitter.com/#!/SamFirmware/status/55600489827549184
To put these statements in perspective:
http://androidandme.com/2010/09/news/galaxy-tab-qa-honeycomb-tablet-coming-next-year/
"The Samsung Galaxy Tab will launch with FroYo (Android 2.2) and eventually be upgraded to Gingerbread (maybe Android 3.0), but Samsung said Honeycomb was for a different kind of tablet experience."
“Moving forward with Honeycomb, that will be used in the next generation tablet as it is specifically optimized for different type of tablet, and will be used on another product only.”
it stinks samsung, samsung ever for me, any product that carries this brand will be part of my house !!!!!!!!!!
he not take care of their customers and it will lose one today! of that there is a 7-inch tab with another brand, I buy, preference for HTC !!!
thanks for this news, even if it is bad
Have they posted the source for this 'quote'? Probably not. Things like this shouldn't be believed until its official.

I would take anything samfirmware takes with a pinch of salt. It was the same site that said Samsung IS updating to honeycomb not so long back.
Until Samsung themselves say anything ill wait.

Agreed! Lets wait for an official response but I'm pretty sure its true.
Ps-this has nothing to do with development do why did you put it in this section? We all need to do our part in cleaning & maintaining these threads.

These are the same people who have bricked more tabs than fixed.
I trust Samfirmwares as far as I can throw a fat kid. Bout 2 inches.
I dont see an abysmal difference between 2.2, 2.3 ... 3.0, everything works pretty much the same. the layout of 3.0 may not be the best for a 7inch tablet anyways... perhaps google will meet us halfway and release something that is not 3.0 but will run apps made for 3.0 or something like that. if we never get 3.0 its not going to be a big deal for me, maybe I am on a different situation because I just got it, and most of you have had it for while. and I could get the xoom if 3.0 was that big of a deal but I've played with the xoom and its just too big for me, I like the portability of the galaxy tab and that is more imporant that having honeycomb.

How many devices are out there right now with ROMs on them that aren't official or haven't even been released?
Crummy reason to give up the best available tablet on the market today. (That's called an opinion, and I'm entitled to mine)
I'm fairly confident that at some stage we will have fully functional and stable honeycomb on our tabs. Does it really matter if it's not an official Samsung release?
After all, if all we're interested in is getting official updates from vendor sources then there's little or no point being on these forums.
Have faith in the developers here, in my opinion they provide more reliable roms than the vendors!
just one question, what the hell do you guys expect? if somebody port honeycomb to the tab we will have it. but whats the point? what you are actual missing on your tab? why need sooo much honeycomb? i guess in 95% of all cases its just the childish "must have" instinct like me....
so stay calm, lets enjoy our tab and stop to blame samsung....
I did quite trust the dev here, more than a samsung, but I am disappointed to have paid a very expensive tablet and end samsung not take care of customers, but many want our money !!!
I do not like their politics !!!
I trust samfirmware saying no honeycomb for the galaxy tab as much as I trust apple to tell me a quote from samsung[1]. wait for official sources to confirm or deny.

Maybe because some apps will only work on honeycomb.
Can anyone here honestly say that they bought there Tab because Samsung said that it would get Honeycomb? I don't recall Samsung ever officially saying anything of the sort personally, though I stand ready to be corrected!
Yes, it would be really nice to get an official Honeycomb ROM, but when I bought my Tab I knew it was coming with Froyo and I knew that Samsungs track record in the past with respect to new Android versions wasn't great.
If we get Gingerbread out of Samsung, I'd say that was a win personally.

Dave
EDIT: Interesting article here dated September 2010, where Samsung effectively say that the Tab 7" wouldn't get Honeycomb.
HoneyComb IS here...
Hey guys its actually already been done. A russian developer already flashed it, and it works. ofcourse its an alfa version and there are tons of stuff that is not working, but that means in a few weeks and with all the smart people we have here, it will be done. Here is the link

Erhhh, you're coming a bit late to the party here!
a) This is based on the work of spacemoose1 from these forums for CDMA Tabs.
b) Many people here have flashed it or tried flashing it.
c) At best, it can be considered a very early alpha - it isn't in a state where you could remotely use it as a daily driver!

Request Samsung for Gingerbread here

On samsung.com website I got a link as follows to ask questions about your smartphone. So I got an idea, everybody from XDA community should ask for update for our lovely Galaxy 3. So that Samsung may be convinced to provide an update.
http://www.facebook.com/samsung.mobiles?sk=app_142874499080353
It may or may not be successful. But we have a chance for try. Isn't it?
Not a bad idea
There has been 2 threads like this and they already had many users signed petition but it didnt work... So i doupt this is going to work either
Just my toughts

great idea mate.........
everybody please follow the above link and search a topic named "Gingerbread for well deserved Galaxy 3/ i5801 apollo" and click on "me too" button.....so that the question and idea can be of many users......
I had already this kind of thread. I made a GROUP will everything official fb twitter mail. It was going great. But many didnt support it. I got only 325 or somewhat less signs on the petitions. Atlast I left that. Its not going to work. It can work but we dont have support.
A similar attempt made by Spica owners for 2.2 didn't work too. Samsung gives only one update per device, excluding Galaxy S series.
They have a contact with google to keep their devices 18 (i think) months up to date if their hardware can handle it. I mailed samsung about this and they said the g3 has a hardware limitation!
They just have to take a look at here and see there's no limitation!
ya.. lets give a try.. "try and try till we succeed"...

There IS NO hardware limitation!! The deal was made when sgs2 came up and the deal was ONLY for new devices such as sgs2, ace, gio, mini and so on.
And IMO trying to ask for update for sg3 is NOT going to happen... Why wont you all accept it? Samsung wont give us an update because they stopped making g3 AND g3 is not bringing any money to samsung, gio, ace and mini are now bringing money to samsung so they have support! Its called business... Now dont say that it worked with HTC because HTC is NOT samsung! And dont start hating me for this, its just the truth and if you cant handle it then go buy an HTC!!!

Get over it. It's not gonna happen and samsung won't listen :/
we've spoken with Samsung and their answer was "there is no gingerbread upgrade planned for gt-i5800"
i think ive posted this answer a month ago in "General section" also Samfirmware not interested to port it either. They usually work with Samsung releases via Kies.
i still have the SG3 and im thinking to sell it
Samsung is soo gay man. :[email protected] Our phone does have the hardware. Those guys just don t want to give it. :-x
samsung are crappys......they r lazy....they r ****s.....coz.....actually the thing is they too might be knowing we g3 is capable of eating gbread but they are lazy to prepare 1 for it.....and a big thing is they do everything just for themselves i mean they think just of getting more money and not about the so called "welfare" and happiness of customers......when we'll spoil their name then they will come on track......
Yes yes. Efforts are required. There's no harm in giving it a shot. Right guys?
I completly agree with hillbeast.
They are making such claims because everything is marketing and profit. If you want gingerbread you'll have to buy another, more expensive, device.
Hardware can run it. One man army (marcellusbe) can make it (port it) but samsungs overpaid programmers can't...
i don't want gb...
i want ics (go marcellusbe please try)
Yes we also want ics
But samsung, if you think you'd not bother many people if their g3 won't get 2.3 or higher your wrong! I know allready 5 people with a g3 outside this forum while I just know 2 with a gs and 3 with a gs2...
No, ICS will be portable in 6 months when Google release the sources, but i think that ICS is crap. I want to have cm7.
serious, whats the "BIG" advantage of having gingerbread over froyo? what could we do with our g3 that we cant do know.
it's faster and i like updates but you're right.. ice cream sandwich is waaay cooler and i think it works faster..

Stock Samsung ROMs have always been crap for the SGS, full of bloatware and a crap file file system.
Over the last 18 months or so, some fantastic people sussed out the file system and gave us EXT2 and 4, removed the bloatware, created awesome ROMs and overclocking kernels.
ICS has been ported to the SGS and works rather well and once the bugs have been ironed out it will be awesome.
Who cares what Samsung will or wont do for SGS when there amazing guys here doing such a fantastic job with the ROMs.
Samsung are not the only company who are not releasing ICS for their phones released in 2010.
***** about Samsung all you like but that fact remains that all companies will deem a product end of life at some point, look at some of the Android 1.5 phones that didn't even get an upgrade to 1.6.
So on that note...happy birthday Samsung and please keep producing great Android hardware so the fantastic Devs here can keep producing awesome customs Roms

For all Sammy haters; Samsung is a business organization and not a charitable trust. As most of us agreed that they have already given us enough updates. That's it.
I have posted here just because most of the great developers and hardcore Samsung fans are here round the clock.

Why do you think you didn't get the update?
Manufacturers and carriers don't want you to be on the same phone for years just because you have latest software. They want you to keep buying new devices just because they have better specs and latest software.
Did you know that first bulb (one that was actually invented) is still working? Tell me why all the bulbs you buy these days go off in few months (for better comparison think about ordinary bulb and not fluorescent etc). Think the answer is quite simple ...

Thinking ahead

Now that Samsung have released ICS for GS2, and Custom ROMs will now be ICS based (the majority, at least), this leads us to think... are these the last major OS updates Samsung will give our beloved GS2? Will we receive Jelly Bean, or, dare I say.. Key Lime Pie?
No is my guess. We may get a value pack!

Cant believe there is already talk about a next version... I KNEW this would start after the official ICS update would arive. People go crazy for months about something (ICS in this case) and after a few days or a week of having it, start dreaming about the next thing...
The next Android version is not even shown yet. After google shows it, add another 6 months. Then maybe, it will come to our Galaxy S II's.
It really depens on WHAT the next version of Android will be like. Some things may determin if our phone's will officialy get it or not.

Just to add to that people forget that we have at current moment the best ****ing dual core android phone on the market. so if samsung does stop their support we are damn sure that we have the best devs around to still support our phone with whatever OS comes out in the coming year. Devs come and go but i have read a post by one of the most respectful devs around in these forums and he is staying put...so as long as we have him we have nothing to worry about..
Now as regarding new OS...Jelly Bean, Key Lime, Fruity Pebbles, Kung Pao Chicken or whatever you want to have *****es please....ICS has just arrived and not in full force yet and you lot talking about new OS...What in the freaking blue hell is wrong with you lot? lol enjoy the goodness of ICS and go away for your summer holidays, spring break or whatever and then think about the new OS when the time is right...Jesus
Some countries never got an official 2.3.6 update for the GSII.
Some carriers, like ZTA (Claro, Brazil) are way too damn stupid to allow for updates.

Now that Samsung have released ICS for GS2, and Custom ROMs will now be ICS based (the majority, at least), this leads us to think... are these the last major OS updates Samsung will give our beloved GS2? Will we receive Jelly Bean, or, dare I say.. Key Lime Pie?

I will give you the answer once my crystal ball comes back from repairs.

I hope that there will be still some development from Samsung, because the sources of them improve the developing of alternative Roms for the phones.
If i´m right we can see this by the ICS roms, for example missing kernal sources for video record and still waiting for other sources from samsung for developers.
But i worry about that this will not look like that. Maybe some value pack, like other mentioned.
Recording to the update policy i think maybe should choose a google phone next time ? :/

well people talking about development and saying that in the next year samsung will kinda fade away it's support for the s2 why are you people worrying. if you actually read you guys should know that the first galaxy s1...i mean i go onto the forums over there and they still have enough development still going on. the same goes for here.
yes there is a lot of hype around the galaxy s3 and i am pretty sure that alot of devs can not wait to get their hands on it. but i am still sure that alot of respectful devs will wait around till a phone and handset that is worth going for and that they know they will get support from google itself, to purchase one ie the next Nexus. the development and the manner they get the updates and sources for that handset is brilliant and amazing. so for me by the looks of it my s2 still has plenty of life and i hope i still be here helping people when jelly bean or fruity pebbles comes along..and then when the new nexus comes along i will be buying that to
There's not much to think about now. Seeing how fast mobile phones evolve, the SGS2 might not even have the appropriate hardware for a new OS. I'm thinking full HD and bigger screens, hovering over screen sensors, screen projection, using the phone as a desktop, 3D stuff...
I'm awaiting Ics, and if and when i'm tired of it, I am sure i'm tired of my phone as well and buy a new one. This is a phone for hardware enthusiasts, one and a half years is more than enough for me.

Yes its true that there is still a huge continuing development for SGS1 and there is atm a huge development for SGS2 and i also think that the development will also last very long. Especially because there is enough power in the SGS2 ( Hardware) to get along with further Updates.
So yes i worry that samsung will stop the developing for the phone maybe,but i also know that other DEvs will not
Without Flash support, i dont care about Android V5.

I think we will. The Exynos + 1gb RAM is way ahead of it's time.
The Google upgrade agreement with all manufacturers is that all phones that are hardware capable will get upgrades for the first eighteen months from date of first sale of the model .
SGS2 3rd may 2012 .
Jellybean before Dec 2012 i would not think so .
jje
no way ,now new phones r online an wen a new model is out wiv jelly bean ,,,companies will force out an advertise tht phones so these old phones i don think ppl will remember...quad cores r already out
