Samsung GT-N8010 Emerges, Could Be Galaxy Note 2
- Samsung GT-N8010
South Korean mobile phone maker Samsung Electronics is reportedly gearing up for the release of a new flavor of its Galaxy Note device, one that has just been spotted with model number GT-N8010.
The new device was seen over at the WiFi Alliance, where it received the necessary approvals with support for EEE 802.11 a/b/g/n connectivity capabilities.
However, beside the fact that it sports a model number pointing in this direction, there is no other proof that this might indeed be the successor of Galaxy Note, which was made official in September this year, during the IFA show in Berlin.
Moreover, there is also the possibility that this would be a different flavor of the already available handset, since Samsung has yet to launch it in some new markets around the world, such as the United States.
One way or the other, next year's CES or MWC shows might shed some light on this.

nah, because then real news would get lost in the noise. perhaps this thread could be for facts about what we know about potential devices that could be the N2, and the other is just people posting their fantasies about the N2

Froyo Status Update - Can anyone read Korean?

http://www.androidcentral.com/leaked-e-mail-points-successful-froyo-testing-samsung-galaxy-s
http://forum.androidcentral.com/verizon-fascinate/39361-froyo-just-around-corner.html
This looks promising. Everyone would like a translation though.
Korean is my native language.
Summary:
The email says that the Froyo tests on Galaxy s phones have been completed.
And then it says there is no problem with sending out Galaxy S phones shipped with Froyo.
The attached photo there shows the test results for reference.
Updates will follow...
So, it looks like as of Sep 27, Froyo has been ready to be released to Galaxy S phones.
I would assume that Sprint likely has the update at this point. No doubt they'll take some time to add/test their bloatware. Here's hoping we see a leak soon.
i am waiting for a leak
You realize, of course, there's a difference between the international Galaxy S (that this most likely applies to) and the US variants (that it most likely does not). Not to mention there are differences BETWEEN the US variants themselves. I wouldn't take any document concerning a Galaxy S phone to be applicable unless it names the Epic or at least mentions CDMA somewhere.

Yes. It would still be a fair assumption that our build's development would not be far behind if not in lockstep with the build mentioned in the email. It would look very bad to have half of the Galaxy S phones running 2.2 while the others remained on 2.1. Samsung has done worse things though.
I'm thinking they wouldn't care too much about having the I9000 updated for a while before any of the US versions considering it was released a few months before any of them. I do agree that the Vibrant and possibly the Captivate will most likely see their Froyo release within a month of the I9000, but I'm thinking we won't see any action until a bit after that due to our CDMA radio.

CDMA has been natively supported in Android since 1.6, so I'm really hoping that doesn't become the case. There just wouldn't be an excuse for it and would be terribly bad form on Samsung's part.
EDIT: One thing that I thought Samsung did very well was, while making the phone available on virtually every major carrier, keeping the 'Galaxy S' branding on them all. I think that the update becoming available at different times for each carrier would serve only to confuse the consumer and really hurt the brand. Hurting the brand would not be smart while they simultaneously launch the Galaxy Tab. That's just my two cents though.
If anything they should hoard the updates until they're all done, and then release them all at once. Perhaps that's what they're doing and how the Captivate's leaked build originated. </speculation>

I read that Samsung is trying to update all Galaxy S (worldwide) at the same time. However, the actual time in US will be determined by the carrier.

If the email refers to JPK, then I'm very worry, because it simply won't work with Exchange.

FYI, this phone has no relationship to Galaxy S line. There are many Samsung Galaxy lines: A, S, U, etc. They all have different hardware.
One good sign is that they got Touch Wiz 3 in landscape mode.
I have a concern regarding future update. I recently read an article about a Samsung Galaxy K phone coming to Korean with 2.2. I'm just curious how long do you think Samsung with support the current Galaxy S platform? Or is this Galaxy K going to replace the Galaxy S phone and Samsung will drop support for the Galaxy S? Will we even get 3.0? Samsung promised 2.2 by the end of the year but never said anything about 3.0. Anyone?

Just read about Galaxy K. It's a lower spec than S series but with 2.2.
Samsung can't promise 3.0 because nobody has seen it. No manufacture has promised 3.0 yet. There are rumors about 3.0 requirement and if it's true Galaxy S satisfies it.
If Samsung can't deliver 3.0, I'm sure the dev team will. That's why I have bought Epic over Transform.

Seeing how long it took the Galaxy S to get Gingerbread, I'll take this chart with a heaping tablespoon of salt.
Also, no way will the Nexus S get ICS after the S2 (one of the benefits of a pure Google device is quicker updates).

It's certainly a nice table someone put together. The site's done in broken english and there's no source for the information. The info's not provided anywhere else on the web and while all the devices listed were previously announced by Samsung as being upgraded they refused to provide a timeline. And ICS for the SGS2 in four to six weeks, seriously? The Nexus, the ICS launch phone, isn't even going to be released in the U.S. until December. Color me skeptical.

However I think January 23 is when it will be rolled out.

i cant see an offical samsung build coming till next year , now the devs on this forum on the other hand are making great leaps to getting a full working version on the sgs2

Galaxy S III First Official Appearance on web! (GT-i9300)

The Galaxy S line was such a hit that Google even gave its latest "Nexus" phone to Samsung. Not just that, the Google even gave up the naming convention it’s been using to date, allowing Samsung’s "Galaxy" branding to come before the Nexus name. The Samsung Galaxy Nexus was born.
But what about Samsung’s bread and butter? What about its own Galaxy S line?
With Mobile World Congress not too far away now it had been expected that we would be seeing some movement from the Koreans, with the show offering a great place to announce a new handset.
That suggestion has been blown out of the water at late, and Samsung’s own executives seem to think that the whole Samsung Galaxy S III thing is under review. That almost confirms there will be no announcement just yet.
It’s entirely possible that Samsung is concerned about a new Galaxy S handset cannibalizing the current Galaxy S sales and is currently mulling over when to bring the highly anticipated handset to market.
All that said, a photo has popped up of what appears to be the Samsung UAE website, with the new handset showing in a drop-down list. The Samsung GT-I9300 as it is expected to be known, is clearly visible in a list that includes all of Samsung’s smartphones. Does that mean someone somewhere at Samsung is being a little coy about release dates, or has someone had a case of the itchy trigger finger and sent a page live that wasn’t ready?

Galaxy S II ICS Update Rolls Out Today in Select Countries

See at source:
http://www.theverge.com/2012/3/12/2...-4-0-update-korea-today-sweden-poland-hungary
"As promised, Samsung is finally rolling out Android 4.0 to Galaxy S II users in South Korea today, and has also announced the first details of European availablity. Poland, Sweden, and Hungary will also be getting the update today, with more countries on the way — and the UK could be one of the next up. A tweet from Brendan Arndt of UK carrier Three has revealed that their final build of Ice Cream Sandwich is currently undergoing internal testing."
I'm sure all of you know what this means for us Note users. Can't be much longer now before we see ICS. Looks like Samsung might make good on its estimate for ICS delivery.
Taken from Twitter
Well March 10 came and went without the Ice Cream Sandwich update for the Galaxy S II, but hey what’s a few extra days? If you remember, we posted that earlier today a tweet was pulled by SK Telecom announcing that ICS would arrive on March 13. It was pulled because Samsung wanted to make the official announcement, which they just did via Twitter and Facebook. Here’s what they said on Facebook:
We’re thrilled to announce that Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich will be served to GALAXY S II users in the European countries including Poland, Hungary and Sweden, as well as Korea today, and gradually roll out to other markets.
ICS for GALAXY Note, GALAXY S II LTE, GALAXY Tab 8.9 and 10.1 will follow soon.
In addition, we’ll also offer Android 2.3 Gingerbread firmware upgrades for GALAXY S, GALAXY Tab 7″, GALAXY S Plus, GALAXY S SCL (Super Clear LCD) and GALAXY W from end March. The firmware upgrades for GALAXY S, for example, include Face Unlock, Snapshot, Photo Editor, and others.
The availability and scheduling of the software update and specific models upgradeable to Android 4.0 will vary by market and wireless carriers’ requirements.
I would expect to see the Galaxy Note and others to get ICS by May. If you’re in the U.S., you’re probably wondering when ICS will make its way stateside. Unfortunately I don’t have any confidence that we will get a taste until at least the Summer.
Also the Gingerbread firmware update for the Galaxy S, Galaxy Tab, etc. is quite interesting in that Face Unlock and Photo Editor will make it’s way to these devices. It’s unlikely these devices will ever see ICS, but at least Samsung is trying to bring some its features to these devices.
Source - TalkAndroid
ICS in the USA is at the hands of the CARRIERS. I wouldn't count on Verizon or AT&T releasing it unless it snows in July LOL.
Another reason to buy full price, international versions. Most will get any updates way before (if ever) a carrier branded version.
Heck, I got my note in late December and have had 3 updates (GB). The carrier notes have had how many updates? Not sure, but are they even on 2.3.6?

I really dont understand what makes Samsung take so long for Note, if they have already done with SII. My opinion: except the S Pen app remaining things on Note are similar to SII. Porting S Pen should not take much time.

I'm pretty sure GNote 10.1 will be able to handle Air View and S-Pen buddy as it already has the hovering mode and accelerometer built in, unless Samsung decide to make those features exclusive for GNote 2

That's exactly what I was thinking! I switched from the tf700 thinking that I was sacrificing an update to jellybean. its really anyones guess whether samsung decided the include the note II features even though the tablet could easily handle all of them, but samsung likes exclusive features on its newest devices. on the other hand, samsung has been remarkably quick with its jellybean update, and since this device is still less than a month old samsung could throw in the note II features to make more people want to buy the tablet.

There's no reason for them not to add new features, particularly when everyone says the Note 10.1 "sucks" compared to it's competitors and will get "pwned" by the Surface/Series 5/etc. etc. They need anything they can get to set them out from the pack, and definitely pushing JB with some serious new features behind it before Asus can get in gear would be a good way to say "hey, look at us!"
This is a halo device, after all (for now).
i don't like the term "very soon."
"later this year" at least gave us a time frame. "very soon" is a relative term that could be anywhere from days to beyond the end of the year. hell, we only have 4 full months left and christmas is coming "very soon."

Here's the way I look at it.
At the August 15th announcement they declared "by the end of the year;" a self-imposed deadline. They could have been more vague and just said "we plan to update the Note 10.1 to Jelly Bean."
At IFA they said "very soon" rather than "end of the year." Again, why change the terminology and increase expectations when there's no need to?
The Note II for all intents and purposes is a smaller Note 10.1 running the same h/w and s/w (with or without some specific features). The JB ROM its running is obviously complete enough to allow reporters to review it.
There are leaked OEM ROMs out in the wild for the SGS3 which shares the same h/w as the Note(s). The only thing different are the S-Pen and digitizer specific features.
The Note 10.1 and Note II don't compete. There's no reason for Samsung to hold back the Note 10.1's JB update or withhold features.
So when you add it up I'm guessing "very soon" to mean next month somewhere around the time the Note II goes on sale internationally. All just supposition of course.
I agree the note II and the 10.1 do not compete. I personally think they complement each other. I am looking for a phone next year and will probably grab the note II. Without the note 10.1 I would be less likely to buy the note II.
I would also be more likely to grab it if the note 10.1 and note II have methods in place to share S notes and other features.
This is a way for Samsung to differentiate itself from Apple. There is no way you could say the Note II and the 10.1 are copies of the ipad. I think this differentiation is important to Samsung.

The 10.1's S-Note app syncs with either Google docs or Evernote so I'm assuming the Note II's will also. It's a shame the 10.1 doesn't have NFC or we could use S-Beam to share files.
If the samsung doesnt include the new features frome the note2, couldnt it be ported or just copied over if its just software?
Same specs right? Essentially same hardware . Take the cellular modems out and what do you have?
Should be here soon,

They'll definitely be dropping the ball big time if they don't come up with some tighter integration between the 10.1 and the SGN1/2.

Maybe I was hallucinating... but I could have sworn they were showing a Note 10.1 running JB during the "Unpacking" show.
One comment on that though - how does Samsung manage to put on such a huge, elaborate, flashy video presentation and then plunk some of the least exciting people in front of it.
Also, they have to put some mikes in the audience to catch their reactions - because when they were standing there showing the ultrabooks either their mics weren't working or the audience collectively died.

You play the hand your dealt. For all we know those were the good ones. HTC's CEO always looks scared to death at events and Asus' is a raving lunatic.
