Yeah.. I got an email about an hour ago saying this:
Welcome to your Galaxy Nexus!
Built in partnership by Samsung and Google, Galaxy Nexus has a vibrant HD Super AMOLED display and is the first phone that comes with Android 4.0, Face Unlock, Android Beam™ and the latest Google apps. Simple, beautiful and beyond smart.
And at the bottom....
We sent you this one-time welcome message because you recently activated your Google account on a Galaxy Nexus phone.
Is this from CM9? Or is my google account hacked?
I got it too. I'm assuming that something in the ROM is faking a Galaxy Nexus. Either that or Google assumes that all 4.0+ activations at this point are the Galaxy Nexus, although I believe some other devices like the Transformer Prime have started getting their official updates to ICS as well.
Oh ... so I am not being sent a Galaxy Nexus?
This happened with a ROM on the Captivate too. The build.prop mimicked a certain phone (Nexus S I believe) and tons of people got that "Welcome to the Nexus program" email. Or, maybe it was the mod to make Netflix work in the market (before it supported all 2.2 devices) ... something like that.
Sent from my Galaxy S II (i777)
Lol. I thought that was an odd email.

Hi,
I couldn't post in the developer section with being a Noob!
Flashed my stock Tab with 1.6.3 last night. Overclocked 1.4. UV -200 all steps. Stress tested over night. All good!
I had to log back in to the android app store to get Titanium backup for restoring apps. This morning I have an email from the Android Team to my Gmail account:-
"Google and Samsung have partnered to bring you Nexus S, a pure Google experience phone. Learn more:
Register your Nexus S for access to premium support from Samsung. "
plus some other Galaxy S support pages.
Is the galaxy tab being identified as a Galaxy S on the app store? Will this cause any future issues? Is a fix needed?
Cheers
With ice cream sandwich coming out at the end of the year, does galaxy tab not qualify for it? As far as i know its within the 18 period for upgrades as specified by google. Or am i completely wrong on the release date?

i don't think so. even honeycomb will not come in our tab officially but thanks to Spacemoose1 we will have HC soon.
I dont think so either.. I got my tab 6 months ago and feel like its already outdated by the dual cores out now like the xoom and new galaxy tab 10 and with the new icecream comming up I dont think that itll be getting the update.. Also by hearing talk of quad cores coming out.. Im not 100% but I have read they want to push the new android cause the new apple os they want android phones n tabs based on the same instead of froyo n gingerbread on phones and honeycomb on tabs. Who knows we might end up seeing it... Until they announce it we wont know for sure.
Galaxy Tab is a high end device, samsung should take care of their high end customers.
If not, there is CyanogenMod. I get android 2.3.5 faster than Samsung's release
I might get Ice Cream Sandwich faster than Samsung release as well
Guys, we will always get faster releases from Spacemoose, the CM team, ect, as it pertains to the Galaxy Tab. Unfortunately, the device was "dead on arrival", and has seen almost zero support from the carriers or Samsung. I firmly believe that (while the Tab is spectacular) it was nothing more than a "feeler"… a test product, thrown into the market, in order to guage the public's desire for tablet devices. I'm pretty sure that the 10.1, Xoom, and other tablets were already being tested when the 7" Tab came out, and that it was always the plan to make the 10" tablets the real "powerhouse" devices. Fortunately, we have great devs on XDA, who thumb their noses at Samsung's lack of support, and work hard to get us at least one or two really excellent ROMs. No doubt, we will never see a Honeycomb or ICS OTA, but Space is working to complete the Honeycomb 3.2 port, and I'm sure we'll see an ICS firmware almost as soon as it drops! Happy flashing guys!!

I currently use a samsung galaxy 3. And I soon plan take the plunge again (although i almost gave up after 3 faulty notes). I used to use swype in my galaxy 3 which came preinstalled with android 2.1. But when i upgraded it with 2.2 (official firmware), swype stopped working. It always shows error that this software has been configured for some other device.............
Neither i can uninstall it nor can i update w/o rooting.
So i wanted to ask when gnote is updated to 4.0, could the same thing happen with note?
Sent from my GT-I5801 using XDA App
There has been lots of news that Swype isn't compatible with ICS yet. They tweeted that themselves, but said they're working on it. With that said, supposedly there's already an unofficial workaround for getting it installed and working on the galaxy nexus, ICS, so hopefully we won't have to wait long for it once ICS hits our Notes.
im not pretty sure about this but i read some things about this 4.0.5 and it was said it was going to be released on i9000
4.0.5 said to be has a BIG performance fix..
i got this news from this link
http://www.androiddigit.com/samsung-galaxy-nexus-and-nexus-s-to-get-android-4-0-5-ics-in-march/
Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S
The news link clearly states only the galaxy nexus and nexus S. Plus it was abundantly made clear in older news posts around the net that the i9000 is not getting ICS and neither will it get the rumored Value pack. As I too am a i9000 user, it kinda sucks to know this
i know samsung said something like that...
but.. dude i think theres a big possibility due to this
Performance FIX thing.. because thats the only one stopping from galaxy S to ICS is Performance..
I'm no great shake on what appears to me to be French, but...
1) Your Article was written for the Nexus and Nexus S and not for the GT-I900Xx (a.k.a the Galaxy S)
2) Where the Article in question even mentions the Galaxy S (Some Table taken from a presumably French source), states quite clearly (even to a non French speaker like myself that the Galaxy S is to only get Android 2.3.6 (Presumably the Value Pack Version), release date February 2012 to be released over Kies.
To indirectly quote your Source it was a table of Official Updates for their current line of Phones.
So I fail to see where you misread this Article into thinking that the Galaxy S was somehow going to get an ICS Update, when Samsung have up to this point stressed that they would not, or could not officially update the GT-I900Xx do to whatever limitations between Touchwiz 3.0 and ICS.
**Edit** What Samsung we're not even gonna get the Value Pack now?
/r/ Sauce kthnxbye!
No chance! Wishful thinking at best. SGS is useless with its 512mb RAM. Either that or the software engineers at Samsung can only compile bloat. The latest iOS seems to function perfectly on iphone4 though. Split between whether i should wait for SGS3 or grab the next iphone and jailbreak the hell outta it. Hmm decisions decisions...

U really think galaxy s1 will get Android 5?
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
common guys...what makes you thinking that we'll get android 5?
Samsung will forget our phone, if he doesn't yet....
there's ported sgs2 ics firmware for sgs, it's on pre alpha state but its working very good, i'm using it right now
sgs has enough power to ics to work fine
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA
Samsung might forget us, but XDA devs won't! And if the unofficial ICS builds are any indication, our phone sure is powerful enough to handle ICS.
It sure does suck that we're not getting official ICS, but the awesome community here has infinitely improved my experience, so for that I'm glad and grateful.
Like Samsung is going to go trough the trouble of making an ICS version for a phone that is almost two years old.
I'd rather have them focus on creating top-notch software for my next phone..... The SGSIII......
Hi,
Samsung announced a while ago that it'll push ICS 4 +"Premium Suite" to the beloved GNote. However, after watching the Galaxy SIII announcement yesterday, I started wondering if the GNote will ever get some of the features the SIII got (i.e Popup video, Allshare cast, etc.)
Do you think some of the smart guys in the forum will be able to port them?

That would be sweet. Now that the S3 as been released, maybe samsung will integrate some of the S3 features on the ICS premium suite for our beloved GNote. But i would be happy enough with ICS all alone, i tired of all this waiting!!!
I wonder if now, after the yesterday's unboxing, the Gnote ICS update is just around the corner...
If samsung want they can easily do that considering the hardware power of note but i think they will not do that due to their marketing strategy. they want to sell more and more no of s 3.
I dont think they will push any of the SGS3 features onto the Note official with ICS rollout. Samsung would not want ruin the exclusivity of features that SGS3 has. Just like Crapple didn't release Siri for anything but the 4S, Even today they can not port it successfully n reliably on the iphone4/ipad2.
All the porting will have to be done at XDA
I have a feeling that Samsung just forgot they had a son named Note...
Damn hope I am totally wrong!
