Amazon review says US unlocked phones won't be getting ICS. - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General

I have no idea about the validity of this. I ordered the very phone that this review is for. Any thoughts?
http://www.amazon.com/review/R2TREU...eless&cdThread=Tx1ZKNEJXC5OB01#wasThisHelpful

As long as it is indeed a n7000 u can get the official rom updates here and the awsome roms from the devs. I am using a german note with hk rom and getting hk rom updates via kies . No problem at all.

That review is not correct.
I just received that exact phone last week, from Amazon. Each Galaxy Note has a region code to indicate where it came from (Mine was from the UAE). This code can be changed to any region you want. This will allow for a stock upgrade to ICS, when it comes out.
Also, just like the previous poster said, you can root and put any rom you want on your Note.
I am running the stock ICS beta, from January. For me, it is awesome. I am running at 213 DPI which gives me the tablet mode look.

I'm sorry, did you say a stock ICS beta from January? For Note? From Samsung? Or did you mean the trial build of CM9?

Sorry, I meant the cm9 beta.

"Amazon review says" I wouldve stop taking it serious there. Dont believe everything you read on the internet.

So you believe misinformation from an Amazon review, but don't believe the people in the forum where you posted asking if it were true? Makes sense.

Most devs go to the Amazon review page so everyone knows the truth about phone updates

I never believed the Amazon review, but I never discredited it either. I asked you smart people here at xda what you thought so I could make an educated decision of my own. I trust you guys more than an Amazon review, but trust my final conclusion more than either.

So you neither discredit nor credit what is posted on xda and Amazon reviews nor do you place credibility on the opinions or facts of those places above what you personally believe which is based off the things you read which may or may not have any significant validity as to its claims, which is still eclipsed by the fact that you take everything with "a grain of salt" that is on the internet, which is the place you have come to with a question seeking an answer.
I think you should meet with an authority figure who you can't discredit, in person (to eliminate the internet factor), so you can get the facts.
I know the perfect person, he can be found in a mirror.
P.S. stay free

It'll get updated to ICS. Don't worry. But it will be layered with TouchWiz. In this year, Samsung will not be stupid enough to cut the cord on a 3 month old device. That would be pure suicide. The PR nightmare.

Basically true. My conclusions is derived from all the information I've gathered with consideration of credibility of the various sources.

Official froyo update

Does anyone know if the official froyo update will be OTA?

I would agree. The question is.... when? Everything I've read says "sometime in the fall".
Well, Google has a lot at stake in Froyo, so I hope that they're going to make sure it's fully baked before they release it. Plus they have the Flash factor - another reason to hold it until that's really done.
Given that, I don't expect 2.2 to appear in official OTA's for at least a couple of months and then HTC Sense builds are always behind the general release. Then you add the delay from the service providers (incl. Verizon) and Froyo OTA for Incredible in the Fall is almost optimistic =:-o
Rooted phones will always have it sooner...
Has the N1 not had the official Froyo OTA for weeks now?
They started deploying to the N1 and then stopped. Much speculation abounds about why, but no official explanation that I've seen. My g/f has a N1 and is about to drive me crazy wondering when she's gonna get Froyo. And when she does, I'm sure I'll be jealous for a few months

I was reading some phone webite and it said the offical release from Verizon was to be expected in August. Take that with a grain of salt as we all know how these "official" dates can move around at will.

Yeah, check out his Twitter account. He tried to get a Froyo build from Koush. I think you all can imagine why.
http://twitter.com/rr12106
omg haha...his twitter really is ridiculous. He is begging koush for cyanogen froyo rom. And obviously im sure koush wont give him a thing to "test" it for him, but I can bet he would rip it off of him first chance he got, only to come here and the rest of the android community and try convincing people he is the best developer ever.
It really is so sad that he tries to play make believe with his mad developer skills, yet all i can do is crack up at his fabricated stories. He is just sooo absurd. We have all seen how he posts things and finally after being backed into a corner by people who really know what they are talking about, he crumbles and apologizes with things like "im sorry im trying...i just love to develop and hack droids...uh dur". The way this kid acts on these forums mirrors his awesome youtube videos to a "T".
Anyway def needs ip ban. His "roms" and other methods and claims are really going to end up bricking some good and honest people new to android, or at the very least give the community forums some bad rep.

And if they told you Verizon was going GSM tomorrow, would you be gullible enough to believe that, too?
Seriously, a run of the mill VZW employee has no insight whatsoever into the release. Only a core group, none of which are going to be dealing with customers, is going to be in the know regarding a target date. That guy in the store or on the other end of the phone... he isn't privy to any kind of information about this just yet.
Hell, at this point, HTC states that they haven't even finished their work on Froyo. After they're done with their work, they perform testing. After that, it goes to VZW for them to do further testing and then get signed off on. All of this isn't going to happen in the next two weeks.

Samsung using XDA users as Beta testers, What do you say?

Hi fellow XDA users and friends,
There have been alot of OTA leaks for JB in last few days. One thing that you might have noticed was that the Leak happened almost the same day when the FW was built. I mean if it was built on 21st Aug it was leaked on the same day. This might be coincidence but who knows.
If that was too easy to leak by Adam/Sammobile/farhyaab/samupdates then did Samsung manage to keep everything about S3 secret till launch date. No FW was leaked until the release date.
Now LH4(Build Date 14Aug) leaked and we downloaded, installed and reported bugs. Those bugs were fixed mostly in LH6(Build Date 21Aug) and there were others that popped up. Now some of those are still there in LH7 which will be fixed in LH8 and the probably Samsung will officiall release LH9 or LHB OTA.
So the point is, Google releasing Android updates quickly results in burden on manufacturers like Samsung who have very less time to implement these updates and then test it and then release to masses.
We around 2000 people on XDA update our devices report bugs and Samsung releases it's updates successfully. Now as we are working indirectly for Samsung, it should at least remove the clause of "Voiding Warranty" in case we flash the custom firmwares..
Your opinion??
I see Samsung as dealers providing flashing junkies with their fix. Has been going on since the S1 and hopefully will continue for years to come.

Haha, and we're all waiting for our next fix, I love it!
I see your point abouw warranty and beta testing, however while most of the people here know what they're doing there are some users here (and other sites where info generated here is distributed) that shouldn't be flashing. Looking at the leak threads, they're filled with people replying who don't have a clue. As there are some options available in custom ROMs which can damage your device like OC'ing, to me it's logical Samsung warns about warranty being void.
But warning is one thing, actually not repairing broken phones is another thing. I once returned a fully customized SGS1 which died due to being a bad batch. The service center wasn't making an issue at all, while there are some ways that they've could find out that the device was flashed. Maybe wait and see what actually happens when people bring in broken, flashed SGS3's (with flash counters >0) at repair centers.
As said if you want to beta test you give the samples to those that are capable .
Last thing you do is give it to the clueless .
Nothing to say that Samsung did not start out in the early days feeding stuff to XDA when it was a developers forum .

Of course we are testers for them. Leaking it makes it easier to see the faults versus a handful of people. I just wish they would make it public so we could tell them first hand. I would test it on mine no problem.

Why the ICS secrecy?

So after years of enjoying xda anonymously I had to ask: why the sudden secrecy about the ICS leak for the Atrix 4G?
I've been enjoying xda for my Bionic and over 'there' (lol) we don't care. If there is a leak we all go crazy and post howto's and upload it to a dozen fileshare sites, share info and just go buck ass wild.
Over the past couple of days I noticed there was a thread about a leak, then it got deleted, and ever since then it's "That ROM" and everyone is anal about providing info about it. What's the big deal? Really. Someone explain it.
I would love to get an ICS leak for my wife's Atrix 4G. She's having so much trouble with cellular data and Wifi it would be like a new phone to her.
I just went back to stock on my Bionic to wait for a soak test OTA for ICS I was invited for. If it works as well as the leak I've been running for months I'll be happy as a slinky on an escalator (sorry, had to use that one. It's from a US commercial and cracks me up).
So, what's the big deal with the secrecy?
The problem with XDA is perpetual misinformation.
Thread got deleted. People jumped to conclusions, thought it must be Motorola or some other company. Now everyone thinks if they keep it all "hush hush" that they won't realise people are bug testing and developing on the leak lol
The other day people got pissy and suspicious when someone who's been here for years (but only posted recently, sorta like how i started here) because he asked for AT&T APK's and logs (plaintext, anyone could comb through for personal info and remove it before sending).

I SAW THAT .. that was hilarious. I was really close to comment about that in my first post; something like "Don't worry, I promise I'm no undercover spook from Apple" (since they own the Atrix's fingerprint reader company now). Bringing Apple in here would have really stirred up some ****
I guess I'll wait until things die down and get organized. My wife doesn't like me messing with her phone so I need to get it right the first time lol
Initially there was a mis-understanding due to lack of information, people assumed and inferred too much from epinter's thread removal. Whether or not the paranoia is justified, fact remains that epinter wanted his thread removed and that some company wanted the leak hushed in XDA although they did not do it via the right channels.
Now I think it became the defacto standard to call the leak 'that rom', not due to paranoia but because people are familiar with that name. Its quite cool too, adds a story to our beloved phone.
We are all masons. That's why.

If your wife insisting on ICS then the easiest solution is divorcing her, otherwise your marriage is safe in spite of her Atrix ownership.
A working ICS ROM is not going to happen from any ROM leaks unless Motorola finishs cooking the ROM. The support of ICS ROM by XDA members would be an issue, at least for me.

I tried to find an official Samsung forum after reading this.. There is nothing on the UK Samsung site and Google turns up nothing either, other than XDA, lol!
Are you referring to the Samsung developers forum? As that's the closest I found to an official forum.
I think he has gone to some third part forum or some private samsung forum for developers which requires membership.

And the site is ..... ?
What does Samsung need with a lousy Forum when they have an AWESOME Facebook page? (Massive snark intended).

With all due respect, Sir - do you really think that Samsung offers you to unlock your device?
Got to go now, today our local police station sells drugs - and right now its happy hour!
No offense intended, but I would also like to know what this site is too.
Was it Sammobile???
I find it rather strange that you had a flyer from them within your Samsung packaging, that sounds odd. I just about had an instruction manual! Which country did you make your purchase in?

This thread's stupid. We're having an esoteric debate with absolutely nothing but OP's disenchantment with something that hasn't even been identified. OP, rather than getting pissed off at people not supporting what you're upset about why don't you scan and post the flyer you received or provide a link to the offensive website? Clearly no one but you has come across whatever you're trying to describe.

Well we have to occupy ourselves with something as we wait for Samsung to release the JB OTA for 8013

That's why I'm watching. It's a little like reality TV - you don't really want to watch, but it's too bizarre to avoid. :silly:
FWIW, I respond to or click on every offer in my device's box (still figuring that one out).

I just spent an hour saving my sister's PC from a deadly severe threat virus. That chick will click anything. :silly:
The funny thing was that Microsoft Essentials popped up a warning the virus was trying to take over and she clicked "Ignore" because she thought MS Essentials was the virus. Lol. I mean the warning was scary and red after all.

Man when Samsung shoots itself in the foot it really makes sure to use an AK47 and shoot the crap out of it.
So you are saying the next build will be ANK47.
And remember...that is just the international version...US Carriers will still be weeks or more behind that release.
assuming the person who wrote that article even knows what he is talking about; I didn't see any mention of an "official Samsung announcement"..
Not true already been comfirm by sources that this is incorrect infor, they stated that oculo does not get to modify the kernel let alone deleyed an updat. Also mant samsung reps stated we dhould receive lollipop this week.. multiple reps. Do thats a better jope.
O welll. Done waiting for It anyways. I'm rooting my device as soon as I can. Screw you lollipop. I would rather have my gear vr function properly than to have 5.0
Well I dont know about you peeps but I am actually buying the Oculus, so this delay doesnt quiet bother me, especially considering cm12 is running pretty well.
This delay has nothing to do with oculus why dont you guys do research before posting. Just another thread to get people the wrong idea to their heads..

OK then, O wise one and elightened one. Please explain to us mere mortals why there is a delay. Forsooth, our puny brains connot comprehend the immense unimaginable contrivances of android deliverance.
I henceforth pledge my undying devotion to you. We will build thee a Church to reach unto the very stars themselves. Where you shall hand down the wisdom, nay, the WORD of all things android.
Blessed be.

Wow the craziness in this thread runs deep
Actually one of the head guys over at Oculus said on Twitter that this isn't true and they don't have the update and are not the cause of any "delays"
Your sarcasm o meter must need calibration.
But for sources:
http://au.ibtimes.com/android-50-lollipop-update-galaxy-note-4-delayed-further-1417052
http://www.youmobile.org/blogs/entr...e-delayed-due-to-Gear-VR-Compatibility-issues
Plus the one in the OP.
If anyone has sources stating otherwise, please post them.
They see me trollin' they hatin'...
Those aren't sources of anything, those are blogs and IBTimes is pretend news that anyone can publish. Maybe I should write a blog and post fake news too.
Believe it or not, not everything on the internet is fact, regardless of the blog that you read.

Do some research... "smart one"..
Never said i knew why it was delayed but i said nor Cuz of this vr shii.... here is your proof since you couldn't do a search, you think Samsung would let some one with no experience with cellphone tweak their kernal?..
https://mobile.twitter.com/ID_AA_Carmack/status/561652982987915264
Who cares. It not delayed it going as planed.
BAD ASS NOTE 4 + BAD ASS GEAR S
agreed; Samsung never gave a specific date that they guaranteed this would be released to any of the US carriers..
reading/believe any thing on the internet just leads to false hope and disappointment, so my advice it to pay ZERO attention to anything you read about it on the internet, and if you want Lollipop so badly, there are several nice AOSP roms in the forums that will satisfy that craving for now.

You know, I bet this VR thing isn't even going to be a big seller, but because of it, we got stuck waiting for this update. Go figure..........
I was wrong. See that was hard.
Curious though as to why a site like sammobile would report that. So I'll go back to my original theory. 5.0 is ready and is in the hands of carriers who ate busy mucking it up.

thats likely the case, so whoever adds the least bloat,(TMO) should have it out first, but who knows when that will be.
