Samsung Galaxy Note Gets ICS-based CyanogenMod 9 Build
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY Note
Work on CyanogenMod 9 continues: yesterday saw the release of an experimental development build for the Samsung Galaxy Note, the first port of the new Ice Cream Sandwich-based OS to support the device. Samsung's official Ice Cream Sandwich upgrade for the Note is scheduled to be released before the end of the first quarter of 2012.
The new port is labeled "experimental" for good reason - while wi-fi, cellular data, audio, the touchscreen, and the GPS and sensors should be working properly, Bluetooth, battery usage, MTP mode, and the camera aren't. The team says that the camera won't work until it gets access to one of Samsung's official Android 4.0 builds for the Note, while the build's cur....

Samsung Galaxy Note spotted with AT&T logo
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungAT&TGALAXY Note
The Samsung Galaxy Note has been spotted in a leaked render with an AT&T logo. The South Korea-based phone maker has already confirmed that the popular device will launch in the United States, but we haven’t yet heard a confirmation from a U.S. carrier. That may all change soon, however; the Consumer Electronics Show kicks off in less than a week and AT&T may make a Galaxy Note-related announcement at the show. The device packs a 5.3-inch display with a 1280 x 800-pixel resolution, an 8-megapixel camera, a 2-megapixel front-facing camera for video chats and a 1.4GHz processor. AT&T’s version of the Galaxy Note will supposedly offer 4G LTE support, too.

Samsung Galaxy S II Ice Cream Sandwich ROM released through Kies
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSamsungGoogleGalaxy S IIAndroid 4.0
Multiple Ice Cream Sandwich beta ROMs for the Galaxy S II have started to trickle out, according to YouMobile. Floodgates, however, are still not widely open, since the new ROM requires Samsung Kies software and can’t be installed over the air. What’s more, we’re not sure every Galaxy S II user can get its Android 4.0 fix — Kies software updates are known to target select markets so you may not see it just yet.

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungEpic 4G Touch
It is too late to be dreaming of a White Christmas, but not too late to be dreaming of a white Samsung Epic 4G Touch. SprintFeed obtained from a source an internal document that shows a photograph of the phone with the January 8th launch date. Other than the different color, everything remains the same. Out of the 3 major carriers in the U.S. that carry a variant of the Samsung Galaxy S II, Sprint's Epic 4G Touch is the only one that has the 4.52 inch Super AMOLED display and the dual-core 1.2GHz Exynos processor. The white Epic 4G Touch will be available at all Sprint locations.

Samsung Galaxy S might not get ICS, just a 'Value Pack' instead
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSamsungGoogleGalaxy SAndroid 4.0
This whole thing with the Samsung Galaxy S and Tab getting the Ice Cream Sandwich update has been a roller coaster to say the least. Remember, Samsung last Friday announced the two devices wouldn’t get the ICS bump, to then only backtrack on it yesterday thanks to scrutiny from the Android community. Now the latest rumor suggest that the Korean manufacturer is cooking up a Value Pack update for the smartphone, which should bring enhancements to make the Android 2.3 platform similar to what you’d get with Ice Cream Sandwich (new widgets, camera improvements, improved web browsing and etc), according to a new report from Korea.

Samsung Galaxy S II Duos getting ready for a debut in China: dual-SIM powerhouse
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGalaxy S II
Do you know what’s better than a brand new Samsung Galaxy S II? A dual-SIM Samsung Galaxy S II! And that’s exactly what Samsung will deliver to Chinese shelves in the near future.
In a move previously reserved only for feature phones and then the most affordable smartphones, Samsung is stepping up the dual-SIM game seriously and possibly playing on carrier’s nerves with the upcoming high-end Samsung Galaxy S II Duos (aka Samsung I929).
Here’s how the spec sheet of the S II Duos is expected to look like:

Samsung Galaxy S and Galaxy Tab not getting ICS
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsTabletsSamsungGoogleGalaxy SGALAXY TabAndroid 4.0
Just recently, Samsung updated us on its Ice Cream Sandwich (ICS) update schedule and which devices are getting it and to our great disappointment the Samsung Galaxy S and the 7-inch original Galaxy Tab are not in there. The latest models of the company are, of course, getting the update: the Samsung Galaxy S II, S II LTE, Galaxy R, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy Tab 8.9, Galaxy Tab 7.7 and Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus. But that’s little consolation for those owning Samsung’s 2010 flagship or Samsung’s first tablet.
Interestingly, the Nexus S, which is very similar to the Galaxy S, is getting ICS. Why is it so then that the Galaxy S is not? Samsung explains that it’s because of a combination of factors: usi...

Galaxy Nexus/Nexus S 4.0.3 Update Pulled
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY Nexus
If you have a Samsung Galaxy Nexus S or Galaxy Nexus smartphone and you were set to grab the update for the device that surfaced a few days ago, you can’t get it now. Apparently, the update has been pulled by Google due to some sort of issue. The update took the smartphone to 4.0.3.
The people that updated to the new version while it was available are sorry that they did at this point. Apparently, the update doesn’t work well on the smartphone. The Nexus S users with the update are having battery drain issues.

Netflix HD ported to the Galaxy Nexus
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungGALAXY NexusGALAXY Nexus CDMA
We hope that it's officially coming from Netflix sooner rather than later, but in the meantime, the good folks at xda have ported Netflix HD for use on the sweet 720p screen of the Galaxy Nexus. Netflix has said that HD would be supported first on TI OMAP-based handsets, so the Galaxy Nexus should be on the short list there.
The port does come with a couple caveats though. The video doesn't stretch to fit the screen fully, so if you have an aversion to the black bars, you may be annoyed with this, but the quality of the video should be enough to make you happy. Also, there are reports that this APK has compatibility issues with Android 4.0.3, so you'll be better served if you haven't gotte...

Installing Google Wallet on the Nexus Just Got Way Easier
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesSamsungVerizon WirelessGALAXY Nexus CDMA
erizon thought it was sooo slick, blocking Google Wallet on the new Galaxy Nexus in order to promote its in-house alternative. Too bad Verizon didn't count on the Internet.
Thanks to some kindly souls over at the XDA-Developers Forum, Google Wallet is now available on the Nexus—without hacks or roots. They were able to modify the app to work on the Nexus and install as an APK. Nexus users will need a file explorer to locate the app once its on the phone but that's about it. The APK is available for download...

The Galaxy Nexus may be the only Samsung device that runs Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich at this time, but a whole bunch of smartphones and tablets are going to join the party in the near future. That is what becomes certain after the company posted on its Facebook page a list of Galaxy devices that are definitely getting updated to Android's latest and greatest version.
The Samsung Galaxy Note and Galaxy S II will be the first to be treated to an update at some point during the first quarter of 2012. Next in line are the Samsung Galaxy S II LTE, Galaxy R, Galaxy Tab 10.1, Galaxy Tab 8.9, Galaxy Tab 7.7 and Galaxy Tab 7.0 Plus. Further details regarding the Ice Cream Sandwich updates for Ga...

Bada 2.0 for Wave devices in 2012 says Samsung
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsSamsungWaveBadaWave 525Wave 533Wave 723Wave IIWave 575Wave 578Wave 3Wave YWave M
There are more than just a couple of mobile operating systems out there in the world, believe it or not ladies and gentlemen, and if Samsung has anything to say about it in 2012, you’ll know the third heat to be Bada. We’ve had our hands on a few devices late this year running Samsung’s own personal brand of operating system, each of these devices with the lovely “Wave” name attached to them, and we’re to understand today that an update will be coming to a handful of these devices inside 2012. Hopefully it’ll be early on in the year as the last time we heard the Bada 2.0 update was swinging through was inside 2011, and that’s no longer looking too likely.
