Galaxy note UK ICS update available now!

[unknown-singh]

Mine just popped up and is installing.

Mine popped up but I had to cancel it as I had to reply to an email. I then manually checked via settings, and it says I'm up to date. Fairly annoying.

 

[marcjohnson]

Not for me its not.

So annoying.

 

[marcjohnson]

Ignore that, plugged it into Kies and it was there.

Mine is updating now. I'm a bit scared

 

[mattoh]

Sorry for the double post, but it would seem there was nothing to be scared of - 4.0.3 is now installed and seems to be running nicely. And it's got the S-Note application too

I was wondering because my Kies is updating itself as I type; thought it was ICS!

Wondering if I should do a factory reset first. I suppose I can do that later if I feel the need. I have over 100 downloaded apps - yikes!

And yes - a firmware update is available - here goes!

See you on the other side!

Mine installed over Kies rather than OTA and after a few hiccups is running fine. Definitely smoother and crisper responses. Screen seems better too. Sharper.

 

[ifb-online]

No hiccups installing via Kies. My home screens have been reset to the defaults - presume that is normal?

Mobile data is switched on by default after the upgrade. I wonder if that could be the source of poor battery life complaints with ICS?

Swyping from home screen to home screen is still a bit jerky on mine. I expected that to be smoother.

Are you using Kies Air?

 

[ifb-online]

Hooray - the IMAP mail client now works properly and deleted emails are also deleted off the server

Are you using Kies Air?

It's installed but I haven't used yet.

Why do you ask?

I'm being idle and can't be bothered to go upstairs and get the cable I fired up kies air and can't seem to find anywhere to check for updates. Just wondered where it was if at all

THought Kies AIR didnt work for firmware updates on the note?

 

[dadsond]

Anyone on T-Mobile UK received the update yet?
I'm not seeing anything on either the device or via Kies

Yes, I'm on T-Mobile. On the other hand my Note is an unlocked and un-branded one if that makes a difference. I got it from Chitter Chatter.

It doesn't

 

[dadsond]

Mine is also unbranded and unlocked, looks like I'll just have to be patient!

Based on the two hours of use since I updated to ICS the battery is draining at about 8% per hour, which means about 13 hours of use, which seems pretty normal as I have been using it quite a lot and wifi has been on constantly. According the power usage graphs the screen is taking by far the most power (69%). I did have a widget set the screen to auto mode (based on ambient brightness) prior to the update - not sure if that is still working.

Do we get face-unlock? Was quite keen to have a play with this. A cursory glance at the security options in settings doesn't seem to provide any clues.

Finally!

Downloading via Kies now. Is it just me or is the download sloooow? I've got a fairly fast connection, it's dling over ethernet, but my word it's taking its time!

I originally thought I might wait for plenty of positive reports, or an update, but who was I kidding

Just upgraded mine via Kies. Went perfectly! All apps there, all the screens exactly as they were. And I am very happy to report that the phone is as smooth as silk! Exactly what has been missing from my Note is now there - smoothness! It's no longer stuttering when scrolling through contacts, apps respond when the button is pressed (not three seconds after it's pressed), and GoLauncher animations are silky smooth just like they were on my S2. I am one very happy bunny!
