I actually thought it meant, "Our original ICS version had at least 1 major bug that we discovered when testing in real-world situations and we aren't going to release it until it is ready for everyone."
Of course, they could have also meant, "At least one of our 'content partners' (who are paying big bucks to get their advertisement disguised as an application inserted into our release) hasn't actually sent in their app yet and we aren't going to release it until it is monefied for everyone."

LOL im so surprised people are surprised by lack of updates from telus/rogers/bell
we may get most phones before the usa, but we pay for it with our carriers holding back updates

who says you have to have or keep that stuff? root is there for a reason
throw on one of the highly debloated roms in the dev section based off LE2 leak.
or go one further and put one of the aosp based roms on there and be gone with all the ATT and Samsung bloat

I don't like AOSP ROMs, I was using OnlyOne HYFR B4, and it still has those AT&T things in Wi-Fi settings, and carrier name on the status bar.
Actually they were not big deal but it had some kind of bug, when I try installing an app from APK file, I can click "Cancel" but I can't click "Install".
So, I will be staying on rooted stock Gingerbread ROM with the holoNote kernel and wait for official ICS from TELUS.

Wow that's rediculous.....

This kind of BS is why I almost got the Galaxy Nexus instead of the Note since Samsung is so ****ty at providing OS upgrades for anything that isn't a Nexus device (due to Google). Add the typical carrier delay on top of that..

I'm confused. Gnex already came with ICS loaded in Canada??? That's what the sales rep at Rogers were telling me. She also said G Note is getting its ICS update in March.
So did she lie to me twice?

Gnex is ICS out of the box.
@JamieD81, we're in the same boat with bricked N7000's. I bought another N7000 with a cracked screen just for the motherboard, since the only place to get N7000's fixed is in Europe. Plus I went thru 3 mainboards on my I9000M. I still buy Sammie's crap, but I'm being a little more careful about flashing roms now. I'm waiting until the official rom is released, and played with enough before I throw my i717 on the line this time.

Idk if this is good news but the note for t mobile I believe is coming out the 11th of July! Which means a kernel source, right?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium

Oh well not the worst thing in the world at least we have leaks but maybe on the 12th we could see if the s2 X official ics modem will work with our phone for better hspa speeds as I'm sure allot of people on Telus don't have LTE available
Edit: S2X ICS was released today ahead of schedule before an ATT or T-Mobile release, so the future is looking friendly (<-- see what I did there)

They updated the schedule !

Ics release date?

I was wondering if anyone heard anything about the official ics update...

2013 and beyond.
AT&T never release official date on updates. In rare case they did, they typically blew it. For example, AT&T promised GB update for Captivate last fall. It ended up released in Feb., 2012.
PCWorld Australia says by the end of March, and Eldar Murtazin from Mobile-Review.com said rollouts are supposedly beginning March 1.

Bummer! Whatever I'm satisfied with what I've got!
Samsung's Update and ATT update timelines are completely different. The i7000 will probably get it April time frame. Don't hold your breath for a carrier update.
We will be looking for custom roms well before ATT.
When it comes out for the international version, any chance those can be modified by devs to work with the lte version? With a working camera lol

Not likely at all, otherwise we would already have a million roms ported over from the N7000 forum.
I have the Int Note and been playing with an ICS rom and it's a really nice OS. I can't go back to GB now that I tried out ICS.

For once, I can actually be happy for my Canadian friends up north, for it seems that they always get the short end of the stick. I don't know how they Bear it... being left out in the Cold and all, plus some of 'em just so happen to have inherited the second worst think from the French, their language!
Seriously, I'm happy for y'all.
And this can only bode well for the U.S. as well, as it means that were mighty close...and they get to Beta test!!! On another high note, the Rogers ROM seemed to be much better than the ATT ROM was. So our off shoots might start off better.

Yeah, only Quebec speaks French. Yet our idiotic government forces it to be in our national anthem, all over our packaging, and most government phone lines you use. It is ridiculous. I cannot stand French as much as Al Bundy, and I assure you that almost all of our non Quebec population feels the same.
so nobody in canada got it? guess this was another ruse

Samsung Rolling out ICS update for International Note

Great news guys. Look like Samsung has begun rolling out ics update for our Note. Does anyone received a notification for update yet? I won't because I'm on custom rom. Check out this article below.

God only knows how long it'll be before we see it on this side of the Pond. Will this at least speed up the devs getting the source files they need to make custom kernels? The various "leaks" (aka free beta testing for Samsung) have been great- each better than the last, but I believe what they are REALLY waiting on is the source so they can really tweak the kernel.
Before anyone starts flaming on me, I am NOT asking for an ETA of anything.. just wondering out loud if the source files are typically released in short order and if the release for the Int'l Note will be sufficient for us here.
I dont believe a kernel source for the int note will help us since it is different software

Yes we have basically the same physical phone and the idea is the same but the internals are completely different, even if source comes out when I post this message it will have absolutely no benefit to us for kernel help. Apks maybe but beneficial software is a negative.

Most likely if you want to get the ota update or how ever ics comes to us you have to be out of the box stock which is achievable with the stock odin file. When the update comes out you can bet there will be a cwm or odin file on here to get it on your phone the same day so its up to you.

She said if you can download the update and apply it from HTC's website that would work, but rooting and using different software would break the warranty.

The rep would not know anything except an update currently in the pipeline, that is, already heading our way. Only someone at Tmo corporate headquarters would know the strategic deployment strategy, and they do not talk. TMO tends to release updates later than other companies.
t-mobile tends to release updates not at all...
a few years ago my smartphone was updated for all carriers except t-mobile. everyone went up an android version while I did not.
who cares how much difference it makes... t-mobile is clearly lazier about updating than other companies and need a push to do so.

Well, for my Amaze 4G, they released the upgrade to ICS after about 5 months. And then very recently they did another upgrade, which would be almost a year later. But that first major update wasn't that late.
The way I look at it, if you're using these forums, you shouldn't have to wait for carrier updates. HTC did announce that an update is in the works.

A. within a week
B. within two weeks
C. within a month
D. within 3 months

Probably as long as it takes verizon to put all there bloat in it and chains and shackles to make sure it stays locked down so we can't root it or anything

You sure about that? I would say 90% of Verizon customers don't know what 4.4.2 Android means.

thats what i read on the verizon forums alot of people want their kitkat updates lol its believable if you ask me
cuz every one else got their kitkat update
I think once Samsung/Verizon are done with it, Kitkat on the non-MDK S4 will look more like Gingerbread than real Kitkat anyways.

VERIZON is holding on to the update cuz they think giving us kitkat will cannibalize sales of the S5
so i say give it a week to a month after the S5 is on sale as for me im thinking of getting rid of my S4 not like im on verizon's network any more might as well get an international model or an s5 -_- annoyed i love this phone

The people on all forums about the VZW S4 are a very small number of VZW users. Almost all people will not get a new phone until their current plan is up. Therefore the S5 coming out is irrelevant to when KitKat is released. The majority of people will update to KK when it's pushed and most have never heard of it, let alone care.
VZW taking longer also means Samsung has worked out some bugs in their initial releases. Bloatware doesn't have much to do with it, IMO, most apps are tweaked to work with new software fairly quick.

Ask me again, tomorrow, and I'll tell you the same.
Its sad that this thread needs to exist. I am on the 4.4.2 GE ROM from Danvdh which is running great.
All I really want is the new modem file that goes with it.

They should, Samsung should give the latest and greatest to the S4 and Note 3, they still are flagship phones.

We have Verizon.. So we have great service but have to deal with locked bootloaders and wait forever for OTA updates lol what can we do.. Maybe move over to TMobile?!
Probably what I'll end up doing eventually just to have an updated phone I actually want that can have a custom recovery.

was in VZW yesterday (held a S5, kinda nice feeling) and asked as they tried to repair my S4. Dude seemed very tech savy until i pointed out VZW is last to get KK. he didnt even know when it'll b out.. Some "flagship" device right? makes me think they'll be pulling a dinc2 ICS move on us
This is getting annoying. 4.3 update fixed none of the issues or bugs really.... and then they make the flagship phone wait for kitkat.

VZW has been known to only care about the brand new phones. I had a HTC Droid Incredible 2 and at the time the Inc series was their flagship, but the Dinc2 was still 3g. ICS was getting put on everything and they had their lists out showing what would and wouldn't and our Dinc2's were on the confirmed list just never received nothing . VZW passed blame to HTC and of course HTC passed it right back to VZW. Then about 6 months or so later or so VZW comes out and says our old flagship isnt gettin ICS at all, stated communication errors with just that phone. Wouldnt even release source for it. Now if it was the 4g model, which was the Incredible S, we would've had ICS and source. I dont trust VZW as far as updates and they'll probably state same excuse and offer us a discounted S5 or a free upgrade to switch our plan totally and for us to pay more in about 4 months. If KK drops just be amazed if we get passed 4.4.2. this phone probably wont see 4.4.3

I, for whatever reason, had very bad luck with data on GE. It forced me back to AOSP 4.3.
Some of us still want a vzw branded KK.
