I try to do this, but same thing. Can i Change the sales code with this: *#272*My IMEI# ? And plesae if it is ok, which sales code to use in this case to update on official ICS or Jelly Bean later… Thank You…
Galaxy Note says
You should not manually change CSC code, because your firmware may be not compatible with it.
The error message itself can also be the result of incorrect CSC code.
If the phone is still under warranty, you can ask guys in your local Samsung service center to upgrade it for you.
If you have to do the update by yourself, you may use ODIN to flash the ROM.

Not yet will soon…reading a US provider’s support forum earlier today. (will email which one if you like) They seemed to be informed that Kies will not support any US device. Pretty strong statement on their part. I’m trying to figure how Kies would see an international phone physically in the US.
Galaxy Note says
The physical location of the phone is not important,as Kies reads the firmware.
I remember US version Galaxy Note can also be update through Kies. I am not aware of any changes. But as I know, US carriers always want more controls for your device.

OK…Riddle me this…downloaded and installed Kies on another PC…Viola! It worked…Going back to the original PC and had the same result as before…The last time I tried reinstalling on the first PC, I used a 3rd party uninstaller…swept the registry and the disk for leftover crumbs…seems like it should have made a difference…When I installed on the second PC just now there was a lengthy “Hot Fix” going to try to reinstall again…B
Berend Baas says
Did another sweeping uninstall on original PC…Dnlded and installed Kies, no hot fix ( the second PC is an XP platform, the first is Win7)…First connection attempt was hung, the circle went round and round for 20 min…second attempt reverted back to “unsupported”…”And that’s the way it is.” Cronkite…B
Galaxy Note says
Kies is not up to standard and need improvements. You need find a computer that works with it. Actually, it works better on Mac than on Windows.

Berend Baas says
OK new puter, empty drive. Windows 8.
I had to troubleshoot connection, after that the Note GT-N7000 and Kies hooked right up. Quicker than I could say wow. I was hit with a “New Firmware” message. Things proceeded smoothly and I’ve got Android 4.0.4 . I checked if I had downloaded a new version of Kies but no same as on the other machine.
Galaxy Note says
Thanks for the experiment and the update.

Berend Baas says
Sooo..out of a clear blue sky, Kies says that my device is not supported by Kies 2.0. I tried connecting first and booting first same result. Any thoughts?
Galaxy Note says
you may try to uninstall Kies, then install it again on the PC.
you may also try USB debug mode on and off on the Note.

tried all of that…still nothing
Berend Baas says
Info Update for you..VNO=Chile/Venezuela.
As far as the Kies fiasco goes. I’m running across forums that have more than a reasonable number of folks that are also getting “Not Supported” advisements for their GT-N7000 International Notes.
Kies also is having a problem with itself in that an update issued today wouldn’t take. Kies just stays with the present version. Every reboot of the app tried to update again with no avail. Guess the update is unsupported by itself also. Truthfully, I’m really getting discouraged and fed up with the issues. I feel Samsung has really let me down on this one…Berend
Galaxy Note says
Samsung is not good at software. Kies desperately need radical improvements. I agree.
Sometimes, if you cannot update Kies, you can try to re-install it with the latest version. You may try another PC/notebook.
you may also check when you connect your Note to the PC, whether your PC can recognize the Note (your internal sd card and external SD card should be accessible from the PC, if not, the driver which is included in Kies was not isstalled successfully.)

Hi, I wanted to know if you have information when it comes to Venezuela ics 4.0.3, tego friends who have it, but unlike my note is (VNO) and try to KIES and OTA and nothing. I have it on 2.3.6 yet .. gracias 🙂
Galaxy Note says
if Kies says no update, it means no update. Very likely, the local vendor/carrier is not interested in the update.

Hi, Back again. I have a VNO note. The phone and all the docs state an origin of Mexico. I have not gotten ICS as of yet.
I just got off the phone with Samsung US and they don’t deal with phones made outside of the US. Having bought the phone from a US dealer (NJ) doesn’t make any difference. Weather VNO’s will get upgraded seems to be very much up in the air. Keep waiting?
Galaxy Note says
Not sure about this csc code VNO. Your only choice is to check the update through Kies on your PC.

Sahil Soni says
Current Firware version: PDA:LA1/ PHONE: KJ3/ CSC: KL2 (XME)
Galaxy Note says
XME is for Malaysia. The latest version should be 4.0.4. You need first make sure your Kies is the latest one (help–check for update)
If you rooted your phone, you may have problems to update. You can try to unroot first.

Winson Chan says
I’m getting the update on samsung kies right now on my Sc-05D jap version note
Aaron says
I have a International unlocked Note (CSC :- VNO i guess its Chile) running on AT&T Network in US if its the carrier holding the OTA should it be AT&T or Chile’s carrier. Also tried changing the CSC to TTT (Brazil) and TPA (Costa Rica) who already have ICS but still nothing changing the CSC renders the phone not recognized in Kies. Kies also does not support GT-N7000 initialization.
Galaxy Note says
Not sure about VNO. For Chile, CSC code should be CHL (Claro), CHO (generic) and CHT (Movistar). Among these Galaxy Note models, only CHL has ICS (4.0.4) update. Other two should still be at 2.3.6.
In most regions, the OTA server is maintained by Samsung. So, the update is based on your CSC code and the firmware of the phone. It has nothing to do with the carrier and location.
Normally, you should not change this CSC code, as it is linked to the firmware loaded in your phone. If you already changed it, and Kies cannot recognize it, you may do a factory reset (and then manually change it back if it is not changed back automatically).

You may check with local vendor/Samsung office to see whether they have any clue on the estimated data for the update. It seems there are still quite a few countries have not received the ICS update yet.

When will be available the upgrade in Puerto Rico?
Galaxy Note says
The latest firmware is still 2.3.6 for Puerto Rico (csc code: PCT).
Samsung wants to roll out ICS 4.0.4 update by the end of this month worldwide. However, this process may be delayed by some local carriers (as local testing must be approved by local carriers). You probably have to wait till the end of this month (just one week away) to see whether you will get ICS update.

slovakiaMan says
hello, i still havent update for ics 4.0.x 🙁 neither by OTA or kies…
dont you have informations about gettis ICS to Slovakia? because my friend got it like 1,5 month ago…so i am little bit depressed:( and he bought it just 1 week before me:(
Galaxy Note says
The model for Slovakia (CSC code XSK) actually got ICS 4.04 update already. But if you Note is from Orange (CSC code ORS), the latest version is still 2.3.6.
Maybe, your Note is not for Slovakia or for Orange. You can check the CSC code by dialing *#272*IMEI# (replace IMEI with your actual IMEI number, which can be viewed from Settings-About Phone–Status), it will return you the actual CSC code (3 characters) of the vendor. Please do NOT modify it (just cancel once you write down the CSC code).

Berend Baas says
I’m under the impression that ICS for international models would br coming from Samsung through Kies. How is it that the service providers can hold it up?
Or, do I have the wrong picture of things?
Galaxy Note says
because it is a phone, testing will be done together with local carriers. In some regions, the phone is subsidized by carriers, and therefore the carrier can request some features (usually bundled apps), or want to remove some features.
In short, Samsung need the approval of local carriers; otherwise, the sales will only be done through vendors/distributors. All phone manufactures want carriers to sell phones for them as well. This is definitely more efficient. If Apple only sell non-subsidized iPhone in Apple Store, how many can they sell? Probably less than 10% of current sales number.

I’m in the UK , provider is Orange, had my Samsung Note in may still haven’t had a OTA update.. still on Android 2.3.6 gingerbread………..
your service SUCK…
Galaxy Note says
It seems the ICS update for Orange’s Galaxy Note is still not available. (not only in Orange UK, but also the other Oranges in whole Europe). So,very likely, the update is held by your carrier.
Please note, this blog has nothing to do with Samsung. It is a user-help-user community for Galaxy Note.

ICS for Jordan? when it will be?
will there be a problems with the G-Note if i put ICS on it ? or it will smoothly runs…
please advise stay on GB or update to ICS
thanks
Galaxy Note says
ICS 4.0.3 is available for Middle east.
ICS 4.0.4 is not available for your region yet. Very likely, it will be available before the end of this month.
Normally, I would recommend users to update unless you have some apps that do not work with ICS. Of course, there are a few issues, mainly, the battery drain issue in ICS 4.0.3 update. These were apparently fixed in the IS 4.0.4 update. Anyway, it is up to you to update or not.

L Cramer says
Heya, I have a Note in Netherlands and I think there may be a possibility to get the update, however, when I connect my device to the computer and check Kies it says your device does not support upgrading via Kies. Also the current firmware version : PDA:KJ4 / PHONE: KJ4 / CSC:KJ4 (KOR)
I hope you can help me as my phone keeps constantly freezing and restarting – sometimes without me even being near it. It is simply driving me mad – is there any way to allow it to work? My current version is 2.3.5 🙂
Your help is much appreciated and thank you in advance.
Galaxy Note says
KOR will not get any updates. You have to visit local Samsung service center and they can flash the latest firmware for you.
Of course, you can flash your Note with ICS (you can choose any regions, most will work) with Odin or CWM. But this may void your warranty.

When will panama get the ICE upgrade?
Galaxy Note says
Not sure. But it should be soon, and you will get ICS 4.0.4 directly, I guess.
Samsung’s target date for ICS update for Galaxy Note in all countries include Panama, is by the end of this month, as I know. (unless local vendor/carrier decline the update).

Scott M. Stolz says
I just got the Android 4.0 update yesterday myself. I purchased the phone in Houston, Texas, but apparently it was imported from Switzerland, because Samsung included a Switzerland phone book app that you cannot uninstall.
So far I am liking the update, and the phone appears to perform about the same as it did before the update. Some apps are exactly the same, some apps like Gmail and GTalk got face lifts as well, with new Ice Cream Sandwich interface. And it actually fixed some apps that were not displaying correctly on the larger screen of the Galaxy Note. Overall, I am happy with the new look.
In my case, over Wi-Fi, it took 46 minutes to download the upgrade, and then another 10 to 20 minutes or so installing it. And then I spent another 30 minutes configuring and exploring. Although it might be worth noting that I was in the U.S. downloading an update apparently meant for customers in Switzerland, where my device apparently originated. So that might have affected download time.
The only annoying thing is that it erased all my shortcuts. But other than that, I am happy.
Galaxy Note says
thanks for sharing your experiences.
If it is from GB to ICS, your apps actually have been re-installed (and shortcuts are surely deleted, and not restored). So, your update actually is quite fast. The slowness is very likely caused by Samsung update server, which is always sllllloooooowwwww.

While upgrading to v4.0.4 uding kies my pc switched off.
Now my note shoews msg as enter recoveryode in kies.
But kies is unable to detect the phone .
Please help.
Galaxy Note says
If you phone can still boot normally, you can do a factory reset.
If not, enter recovery mode, try to reboot normally, or factory reset. You don’t need Kies for factory reset or to enter recovery mode.
After finishing factory reset, Kies should recognize your phone, and you can update again.

ABD says
I live in Saudi Arab and I heard from your comments that the update is available in Saudi Arab. But I cant seem to update it. I tried from the Note but it says no update available. Then I tried to do it with Kies. But Kies say that ”Your device does not support software updating via Kies”. Can you please help ?
Thanks in advance
Galaxy Note says
The error message usually is caused by some mismatches on CSC code in the firmware. Did you try to flash your ROM via ODIN or similar programs before? If not, you can try to uninstall and re-install Kies. Also, try to connect your Note after starting Kies.
Anyway, if the CSS code was messed up by the vendor, you have to go to local Samsung service center and ask them to update and correct it. I think your Note is still under warranty, and therefore the Samsung must update and correct it without charges (depending on local laws).

Hi, I’ve tried to update my phone several times pressing “updates / check for updates” and through Kies but it says it’s running the latest version. I’m running 2.3.6, model number GT-n7000, baseband N7000UBKK1. Any good news you can give me?
Federico says
also when I use Kies / Tools / Firmware upgrade and initi… it says ‘GT-N7000 does not support initializing”
Galaxy Note says
You may
1). make sure USB debugging is unchecked (settings–developer options)
2. uninstall Kies on your PC and download a new version from Samsung’s website. The install it.
3). start Kies first, then connect your Note to PC, if it does not work, reverse the order (connect hyou note to the pc, wait till you PC detect the device, then start Kies
Occasionally (very rarely nowadays), the carrier/vendor may block the update. If you bought the phone from the carrier, you can check with them.
If it is under warranty, you can always ask the guys in Samsung service center to do the update for you, if you get the disturbing error.

Galaxy Note says
It seems this model is for Brazil. You should have ICS 4.0.3 update. Probably OTA is not available, so you have to use Kies, or got to Samsung service center.

Is this update is available for Saudi Arab Country? If not when will be?
Galaxy Note says
Yes, the ICS 4.0.3 update for Galaxy Note is available for Saudi Arab models. You can check update using Kies from your PC.
BTW, ICS 4.0.4 is not available for your country yet.

The update on ics for galaxy note started fo@ GReece yesterday early at morning. I still cant get it… OTA sais not updaye available yet ang when itry kies it says that GT-N7000 does not support initiallizing. Thid problem exists for months and allthought i have reintalled many times. What should i do?
Galaxy Note says
Yes, the ICS 4.0.4 update for Galaxy Note was rolled out in Greece.
It would be frustrating to install Kies for several times. But I would recommend you uninstall the Kies completely, and reboot your PC. Then download a new installer from Samsung website (yes, it is not so fast). Install again. The start Kies on your PC, wait a few mins, then connect your phone to the PC. A reader suggested me that you should connect your Note to PC first, once your Note is recognized by the PC, start Kies. You may try both.
Please note, you should turn off the USB debugging.

Did you try to check the update through Kies?

Hi, i belong to India
i got the same software update.
i have Galaxy note, can sm one suggest do i have to update or not
Galaxy Note says
It is up to you to decide whether you want to update.
Normally, you should update as the update fix some bugs and improvement the performance and functionality of your phone. Of course, some new bugs may be introduced.
A few users may not update immediately and wait for the minor update following the any major update. In this cases, they may update until ICS 4.0.4 is available.
Anyway, it’s up to the Galaxy Note owners.

Hi, I’m from Bulgaria and use samsung galaxy note (GT N7000) KernelVersion: 2.6.35.7-N7000XXLA6-CL907341 / BasebandVersion: N7000XXLA4 / CSC: N7000XXLA1- and when starting Kies show me this information: “You are with the latest firmware Update” Anyone do you know when will have update for my region ? Pls help me, how to update my phone to ICS without manual flash with ODIN or other pirate soft.
Many Thanks!
Regards from my f.cking country ! 🙂 We are on the queue, alltimes.
Galaxy Note says
Yes, it seems the latest version for your country (together with Italy and Greece) is till GB 2.3.6. Maybe you get get ICS 4.0.4 update directly. Just wait a few days.

Oh come on! Samsung does not care about Greece or anything else! it is last days of July! Im sure that i will not get the update fr ics before october !
Galaxy Note says
It is a bit strange as there are still a few southern European countries have not received the ICS update for Galaxy Note. Maybe Greek is too difficult for Korean developers!!
Anyway, Samsung’s target date fro ICS 4.0.4 is by the end of August. Very likely, this includes Greece and a few countries still on GB.

Federico says
where do you see the current version of each country?…. I’m from Venezuela and I bought the phone 3 weeks ago and it updated to 4.0.3 just well… I got the phone stolen and bought a new one but it doesn’t update… how can i do?… just wait?
Galaxy Note says
You may use a small program Check Fus to monitor update for Samsung’s Android handsets.
I think for south American, only Brazil got the ICS update for Galaxy Note. Anyway, you can check update with Kies on your PC (connecting your phone to pc with the USB cable), if Kies says you are using the latest version of firmware, it means no update available yet. Very likely, your previous one is for a different region.

Nick says
Hi, I`m from BG too. I got myself a SGNote from MTel few months ago, made in China. My wife liked it very much and bought herself too, from a private shop in Hilton hotel. Hers is made in Vietnam. So on 25.07.2012 she got the ICS 4.0.3. from MTel. I still dont have any update. Tried trough Kies too.
Galaxy Note says
For the “official” models for Bulgaria, there are no ICS update yet.
Whether you get update or not, depends on the base version of your phone’s firmware (linked to the CSC code). If I guess correctly, your Note is the official version for Mtel or official version for Bulgaria. But your wife’s one is for other market (imported by parallel importers), and the update is available for that version. Manufacturing location is not important.
Please note, the update is always provided by Samsung (Kies or OTA), not Mtel. So, once the update for your model is available, you can get it anywhere in the world.
If you want, you can further check the difference of these phones by dialing *#1234#

Thank you for your encouragement.
The ICS 4.0.4 update for Galaxy Note has not been rolled out in UK. Currently, only Germany, Singapore and Malaysia users got this update.
The information I have is this update will be available in all regions (unless the local carrier decide to ignore this update) by the end of August (before Galaxy Note 2 is announced).

please help me…i bought a new galaxy note n7000..and it was running very good on GB….but what happened i connected my note with kies and it updated my note to ICS 4.0.3..after that.. whenever i disconnect the charger from my phone it keeps on displaying a caution on screen after every 10 seconds CHARGING PAUSED.VOLTAGE TOO HIGH..and it keep on showing and annoying me until the battery become 40%..please help me some guy..my life is like hell with this phone and i am in china these days so i cant speak chinese and also my warrenty is not valid in china..
Galaxy Note says
Did you try to remove the battery and wait a few mins before putting it back?
If it is a hardware issue, Samsung should replace it for you when you go back to your home country. Do NOT let any unauthorized people “fix”your phone in China.

Anna says
how you know its hardware issue??? as on GB it was working very good..but problem started after this ics official update..
Galaxy Note says
I am not an expert, but it seems the message is related to hardware. If removing battery and waiting a few mins does not solve it, it is very likely a hardware issue.
anyway, if you cannot access Samsung service and have no choices, you may try to perform a factory reset, which will eliminate possible issues related to updating process. Of course, factory reset will erase all your data and settings.

hi
My phone info: PDA:N7000XXLA6, Phone: N7000XXLA4, CSC: N7000 OXXLA1.
why still can not update ICS 4.03 by OTA? and i try with Kie still can not too. so when my phone can update?Thanks
Galaxy Note says
This is a generic European model. Some of users of this model haven’t got the ICS update yet. You may check the real (vendor/carrier) CSC code by dialing *#272*IMEI# (replace IMEI with your actual IMEI number, which can be viewed from Settings-About Phone–Status)
Anyway, if Kies tells you there are no update, it simply means no update yet for your model. You probably have to wait. As ICS 4.0.4 has been rolled out in several regions, maybe you will get the ICS 4.0.4 directly, instead of the 4.0.3.

If it is still under warranty, you can go to local Samsung service center and they can update the phone for you. You probably cannot get any updates from Kies or OTA.

still nothing for Greece…and 4.1 was announced for nexus? i think Samsung does not care about customers
Galaxy Note says
Actually Nexus already started to receive the 4.1 (Jelly Bean) yesterday.
Still only users in a few European countries including Greece have not get the ICS update for their Galaxy Note. Maybe, you will get 4.0.4 straightway (Some German users reported the new minor update from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 for Galaxy Note). Maybe wait a few more days. Sometimes, the delay can be partially caused by local carriers/vendors.

Yes, you should wait for local ICS update if your Note was purchased locally. You can check updates using Kies on your PC (after connecting your Note to PC with the USB cable).
I’m not sure about the ICS update status for Mexico (it seems I cannot find the csc for Mexican carriers for Galaxy Note). You may check whether there are any updates through Kies.

Galaxy Note says
First check with your local carrier. YIt is a good idea to test with other phones and make sure the 3G connection works.
Instead of flashing, you can try factory reset first. Then Emergency firmware recovery (PC Kies). Of course, you will lose the root.

Sometimes, it is due to the Kies server or OTA server. So, you can reboot your phone and try again. If no update in OTA, you can try Kies from your PC.

If you cancel the download, your phone should still work (and on GB).
You can start Kies on your PC, then connect your phone to the PC with an USB cable. Your Kies probably will prompt the update for you.

my mobile info as follow : n7000jpla1- cl895432dpi@delol170#2 gingerbread
Galaxy Note says
Very likely, it is ICS. So, you an backup your data and try the update.
Anyway, each update should fix some issues; therefore it is a good practice to apply such updates.

Hi,
May I know when will the ICS for Galaxy Note be available for Brunei Darussalam? It’s in the Asia region. many thanks in advance.
Galaxy Note says
It seems Samsung does not know Brunei is in Asia. Almost all other Asian countries received the ICS update for the Galaxy Note already. The model number for Brunei looks like generic European one, which has not got the ICS update yet.
Maybe, just wait for a few more days. End of June is the schedule Samsung promised (except for North American).

ouch,that’s a sad news. much more that Samsung doesn’t recognize our country. Guess we’ll have to wait a little more then.
Aside on that,thanks for the quick reply. At least I know why our place still have no update on ICS.
Denny says
Hi sir
My phone info: PDA:N7000XXLA6, Phone: N7000XXLA4, CSC: N7000 OXXLA1. when i can update ics 4.0?why so longtime for updating 4.0?
Thanks
galaxynote says
Several Europena countries use that code. You can get your vendor/carrier CSC code through dialing *#272*IMEI# (replace IMEI with your actual IMEI number, which can be viewed from Settings-About Phone–Status).
Please do NOT change the CsC code as it will wipe all your data and void ytour warranty.
Anyway, just wait a few days, you very likely will get the official ICS update.

Hi
My phone’s sales code says VGR which I believe is from Greece. When is ICS update expected?
GalaxyNote says
It seems the ICS update for Greece is still not available. Maybe you have to wait for a few days. The update should be available in all countries (except US and Canada) by the end of this month.
Of course some carriers may delay the update.

hi guys I m from Bahrain. Jst to let u knw tht i jst rcvd an update notice for ICS on my phne today. I hve dwnloaded the update but I
m nt sure if i shuld go ahead n install after reading the comments of other users. Can anyone pls guide me. Please share ur experiences.
Thnx
GalaxyNote says
There are also some complaints on GB.
Anyway, if your phone is under warranty, you can always try. If something goes wrong, visit Samsung service center.
The most important thing is to backup all your data to your PC. If your phone is not rooted, you can backup your Play store apps to Google and restore them later.

in GB, it is under Settings–Privacy–Backup my data (and Automatic restore). This only works for apps installed from Android market/Play store, not side-loaded apps from other sources.

My outdated info was most European countries should have got the ICS update last week. It seems only a few countries got the update. I do not have any updated info. But it is probably safe to say all Galaxy Note users will be able to get the update by the end of this. So, juts wait one more week.

Thanks for sharing your infos cause i don’t have warenty any more and i dont know how samsung will help me at this case..

GalaxyNote says
your phone should have at least one year warranty. so, all Notes should still under warranty. this is the major reason why i refrain from talking about how to root notes in this blog.
anyway, if your warranty expires, you can root your phone or try different roms. both will give you more controls.
let’s work together to make this community alive so that all Note users can help each other.
in a few weeks, i will try to extend this blog to a small social network including blog, private messages,shoutbox and forums.

Problem with background sound cancellation!!!!
I just sent this to Samsung support website.
I recently upgraded my phone software to Google ICS and since the upgrade I am having a major problem with lots of background sound cancellation. When I record audio of my voice using sound recorder I can hear my Air condition unit loud as if my phone after the upgrade lost its ability feature to cancel the background sound.
My ICS is 4.0.3
Baseband version N7000XXLPT
Kernel Version 3.0.15-N7000JPLPD-CL643396
Build number IML74K.JPLPD
United Arab Emirates
I think earsmart is not working after the upgrade to ICS
I will attach an audio file to me speaking with the AC working and you can hear how loud it is and before the upgrade I could barely hear the AC sound.
GalaxyNote says
did you try some other voice recorders from the play store?

I used the stock recorder and WhatsApp and both have lots of background noise. Also when placing a call I have a bad background noises badly. So I am sure it has something to do with the update.
I will update you when Samsung respond to me. I hope they can solve the problem with a patch or update.

Please check your RAM usage cause i.ve many apps and gamesand i.ve on app 24 hours working which is antivirus and right now the phonefree space is about 1gb or maybe few more or less but i feel when i writing this comment it.s very very slow in responding to my hands as will as very slow in appearing written words on the screen.
So if the ics have more preety look and designs then it.s diffiently will take space from the ram which may rsult in lagging issue if the phone has more apps or lanch 2-3 apps at sametime likes internet. . Chating apps. . Games (etc)

i think after update, great volume of RAM is occupied, (near 620MB of 800MB). is it normal?
thank you for your help.
GalaxyNote says
that probably include cached apps. you can check the ram is being used in Settings-Applications-running. in the bottom, you can find the actual ram is currently used.
normally, ICS on galaxy note uses about 60-100mb more ram,comparrd with GB.
actually about 50-100mb ram is used by the bloatware from Samsung and the carriers. you can disable some of such apps without root.(a good thing in ICS)
anyway, most people should have sufficient ram to run most apps.

※ FOR MIDDLE EAST USER Specific in (UAE) REGION “Who Have Upgrade To The New Ice Cream Sandwich Frimware”:
● Would you please tell us what is the Advantages/Disadvantages About the New Firmware and the previous one (Gingerbread) ?
● Is there any problem or uncomfortable issue with your personalityuses
Adnan says
Sorry Continous …
Please let me know if there is a problem that we all gonna used on it
Cause i like the gingrbread At The Moment.
Many Thanks
joseph98 says
If you like gingrbread then you will love ICS.
All your Apps should work fine but your phone will run faster and smoother.
Upgrade with confidence.
joseph98 says
I will start with the easy one. There was no issues whatsoever and ICS runs smoothly on galaxy note in UAE region.
About advantages I can see that my phone runs faster as ICS promises and the update is well done by samsung. Also as mentioned in youtube now we have a better use of the stylus with the new and improved S Memo and S Note.
Please note that I didn’t back up my apps but somehow the phone kept all my apps in working conditions so I didn’t have to re-download them and all my contacts was not wiped as if I didn’t upgrade to ICS. I can’t think of any disadvantages of why not to upgrade.
After all this ICS for middle east I think is the same as another region but added Arabic language support.
I Happy to upgrade. 🙂

Try Kies to update your device via your computer.
Don’t try to update from your device.

i already tried kies…. it says latest firmware installed… GB 2.3.7

Zack,
How did you get to updates in kies. I’m stuck on the first page w/o any links…Berend
zack says
the first page itself shows the firmware details… this page is just information nothing is accessible… you should be able to select other tabs though… if not then there could be a problem with your kies… need to reinstall it probably
zack says
i mean… Really ??!
In kuwait… but not in Saudi Arabia ??!
The one country in the Middle East i Choose to Buy My note…

i dont understand… update is released in U.A.E and in Kuwait… but why not in Saudi Arabia?? Its one of the Major countries in the Middle East..

you neeb connect you Note to the computer. then the Kies should recognize your note. I will try to write a tutorial on using Kies this weekend.
please note, we are refering to the Kies on your PC, not the app on your Note.

Thanks for the reply…Something dawned on me…is there a difference between Kies and Kies Air?
GalaxyNote says
Kies: installed on your PC so that you an manage your phone from your computer. Normally, you need connect your Galaxy Note to PC through a USB cable.
Kies Air, an app installed (by Samsung) on your phone. Once it is enabled, other device (e.g., PC, other phones) can access this phone. Normally, this requires both your Galaxy Note and other devices are connected to the same network (e.g, your broadband router).

I’m on MEA.

It is stopped because you might have slow connection. Make sure you are not downloading anything in your other computers ( In case you connect more than one computer to your WLAN). If it is stopped because samsung wants to give it first to user with high speed Internet bandwidth. Mine is 2 MB line.

I’m not quite sure, but KOR probably is the CSC for nowhere. So, very likely, you will not get any OTA update. I’m not sure whether you can get update through Kies. If you got update through Kies before, you very likely will get ICS update as wel.
How did you get the phone?

Any news about ICS update for Note users in Dubai????
GalaxyNote says
I don’t have any news on ICS update in this region. As S3 has been launched already in Middle East, there are no reasons to delay the ICS update for note. So, maybe Samsung need more time for the local test.

I’m sorry I don’t have any info on ICS update in your region. But, it seems the update will be fully rolled out by the end of this month in all regions.

hamza says
Is it true that once we have an up date over all old data (photos,videos,etc) will be deleted?????
GalaxyNote says
No, it will not. All your data should be kept. The apps may be re-installed automatically.
What you need do is just to make a backup before the update, in case something goes wrong during update.https://allaboutgalaxynote.com/wp-admin/edit-comments.php#comments-form

Is it other way to have an update?????
GalaxyNote says
If your Galaxy Note is under warranty (I think it should be), it is better to wait for the official update. You can check whether there are any updates for your handset in Kies.
Please do NOT try to change your CSC, as it will wipe out your data, and void the warranty.

Murad says
I am in middle east but im thinking to insert a british sim into my note, am I supposed to be able to update.
GalaxyNote says
No, it will not work. As the update will check your current firmware, and your CSC. SIM card does not matter. Anyway, you may wait a few weeks for the official ICS update.
As your Note should still be under warranty, it is NOT a good idea to mess up your csc and firmware.

Hi. Do you know when ICS will come to Norway?
GalaxyNote says
Last time, I heard Nordic countries and UK would get the ICS update in the same batch. It seems only UK users got it. I don’t have any updated info.
Anyway, it seems Samsung this time can keep their word by rolling out the ICS update for Galaxy Note by the end of this month. So, maybe you just need wait one or two weeks.

Rek says
Hi, I have a Note N-7000 and I’m in Kuwait . it is clear that the ICS firmware upgrade from GingerBread has been rolled out since June
in my Settings>About>Update Section, the phone tries to connect to server (and it does) and comes back with a message telling that there is no available update… how to upgrade my firmware using the normal way? Thanks
Rek says
I also tried Kies, but when trying to connect device and PC over Kies, this latter tells me that there was an error in connection and that I should tick the USB Debugging option (I did), and that the Device should be connected in Studio Mode… it seems impossible for me to make this upgrade or what… thanks for your help.
Galaxy Note says
you may try to uninstall Kies, download the latest version from Samsung’ website. Then install again.
You may also download the usb driver for Galaxy Note from Samsung’s website, if you still have connection error.(most of the time, you don’t need it as Kies will handle it.).

GalaxyNote says
You may try to uninstall and then install it again. You need make sure you type the correct pin code received in your sms within a few mins. It seems so far no other people reported this issue, and I have no idea why the system does not accept your pin code. You may try to send an email to Samsung. It will take time to get answer, but it will not harm.

Hey guys.. so much info in here.. i updated my gnote to ics around 2 weeks back.. very laggy.. the worst part is my s memo did not get updated.. tried through kies.. tried checking for updates.. didnt happen.. is there anyway i can update my s memo? is samsung going to release a separate update for those whose s memo didnt get updated? thanks in advance.
GalaxyNote says
Probably the slowness is due to that ICS starts all apps (I don’t know why) when you reboot your phone. You may check your apps one by one in Settings–Applications. If you can use “Force stop”, it means it was started, you can try to stop it. For bundled apps, you can disable it if you are sure you don’t need it. This happens to my Note after the ICS update.
For the S Memo, I seldom use it after the update. It seems there are a few more options in the menu. You can check the version of this App by installing a free App called “APK Info” (INTELLOWARE). You can search it in Google Play store. For mine, it seems it was updated. The version number is: 12.05.02.5497 for Android 4.0.
I now mainly use the S Note, and I think it is really nice. I guess Samsung will issue some updates soon (in a couple of weeks or one or two months) for Galaxy Note’s ICS.

Based on the CSC (consumer software customization) code, it seems your Galaxy Note is from Europe. It can be Austria, Croatia, Czech, Greece, Hungary, Romania, Serbia, Slovakia or Switzerland. The ICS for these regions are not available yet.
If you want to know the exact distributor, you can check it with *#272*IMEI# (replace IMEI with your actual IMEI number, which can be viewed from Settings-About Phone–Status), it will return you the actual CSC code (3 characters) of the vendor. Please do not modify it.

It may void your warranty. Other than that, it should work without issues. But you need know how to do that…. Backup, backup and backup before you do anything.

You can find the regional info in the CSC code by dialing *#1234#

I hv upgrade my note but ‘mystory apps’ is not included.. Should it be like dat.? Anyway im from malaysia..
GalaxyNote says
You can go to Samsung Apps (an app installed by Samsung), then search “My Story”. You can then install it. When you try to open it the fist time, you need register your mobile number (an SMS with a 4-digit number will be sent to your mobile for verification, so make sure the country code you select is correct).
Enjoy your story!

After you upgrade to ICS, you should be able to find it from Samsung Apps. I checked again, and you can even search it from a browser (but you cannot download from the browser): http://www.samsungapps.com/topApps/topAppsDetail.as?productId=G00006843609
You may also try to download it from Kies.

Hello im from Malaysia.
I received the notification for the new ICS update.
But then Ive read and heard a lot about the battery-drain ‘phenomenon’. What do you think of this ? Is it ‘real’ ? If it is, should i continue with the update or should i not ?
Currently, with the default power-saving setting turned ON, i am ultrahappy with my Galaxy Note running 3 days straight before the batt runs out~! Like … weird. In a the best way.
So what do you say. Thanks a bunch.
Tyra J.
GalaxyNote says
Wow, 3 days! For mine, I have to charge it every night. So, it really depends on how often you use it.
After update, I do not feel the difference in battery life: still I have to charge every night. Now by default (without any apps), you can display the percentage of your battery power. After the update, you still have the System Power Saving utility.
Anyway, I would recommend you update to ICS, because at least, you get more options(if you don;t like, you can turn them off). I like the new default font, the S Note App. Face unlock (you can turn on/ and off) is also very cool, but it may drain your battery a bit faster.

I have purchased galaxy note in INDIA and on may 29th ,got pop up for firmware update to ICS and i did not do as i was not having any wi-fi access and now i am trying to update its showing no update available,,!
can you suggest me alternative for updating it??
GalaxyNote says
You may download and install Kies (http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP )on your PC. Then you can check updates and perform the update. This is a better method to upgrade the formware, imho.

I have a galaxy note, which i purchased here in India, and i want to know if its a good idea to upgrade to ICS or not….i have heard a lot of bad feedback about the update….also, once i update, is it possible to downgrade back to 2.3…..thank you.
GalaxyNote says
There is no official way to downgrade, but there are lots of ROMs (including the official one) you can use if you want to go back to Gingerbread.
Personally, I feel ICS on Galaxy Note is far better, the default font is really nice. Although a few users reported it became a bit slower, most users feel faster. After updating, I noticed more ram is consumed, but the free ram is sufficient to run any apps smoothly.
Also, the S Note is very cool.
I would never think about going back to GB.

GaS says
any idea if the new features like S-voice and smart stay and direct call will come to the note anytime soon….as in, in a software update, not a new version (that would be painful).
GalaxyNote says
I don’t think Samsung will officially make S-Voice available for Galaxy Note. They would try to use it to lure users to Galaxy S3 (or may Galaxy Note 2).
But there is an unofficial S-voice apk around, and it partially works on Galaxy Note (after updating to ICS). It is not officially supported, and Samsung may block the access to its server at any time. Anyway, if you really like it, you may give it a try.

I believed right now the ics has been released in malaysia. I ve tried to upgrade my note ota but the system says no update available. I ve also tried using kies 2.0 but they also said your handphone cannot upgrade using kies. Why is this happened? Please help me
GalaxyNote says
Yes, ICS for Galaxy Note was rolled out in Malaysia last Friday. If your Note was bought in Malaysia, you should be able to get the update. Sometimes, OTA is not available on some carriers. The most reliable way to update is to use Kies. You need upgrade your Kies first (it updates itself by default), and the current version of Kies is 2.3.1. You can also get the latest version from Samsung website (http://www.samsung.com/uk/support/usefulsoftware/KIES/JSP)

After updated to ICS using Kies, there is no premium suite installed as promised. Any reason why?
GalaxyNote says
It is actually an app, S Note. After the update, all your apps will be re-installed and re-arranged. S Note is among normal Apps.
Did you check you Applications?

No clue. But overall, it seems Samsung can keep the words: rolling out update in Q2. So, I guess, by the end of next month, all Galaxy Note will get the ICS update.

any news on ics in th uk.?

When the ICS update for Galaxy Note was rolled out in Germany, the information from Samsung UK was about 2-4 weeks later. If this is true, the update should be available for UK Note users anytime in next two weeks.

Does anyone know of the ICS deployment schedule for Switzerland-based Galaxy Notes? I’m quite excited to get the update (as do others), but there’s not much news or info for Switzerland (AUT).
GalaxyNote says
Last Friday, most Asian countries received the ICS update. So, other regions should be soon.

mine is switzerland-based too (AUT). got no luck so far updating via OTA or KIES. i’m in Brunei (SEA region). guess, i have to wait a lil bit longer for the ICS update.
GalaxyNote says
Yes, but the wait will not be long. It seems Samsung can keep the words (ICS update for Galaxy Note by June) this time.

Hi
When I get ICS 4.0 for my galaxy note in ME (Middle East)?
Regards,
GalaxyNote says
We do not have any info on ICS update for Galaxy Note in the Middle East. It seems this time Samsung can keep their words to roll out the update in Q2. So, your waiting time is only 5 weeks (maximum)left.

Most countries in the middle east already received the ICS update. Did you check through Kies?

Samsung Galaxy Note ICS 4.0.3 rollout in Singapore has started. Some people are receiving the notification on their phones. Others can just download and install via Kies.
GalaxyNote says
Thanks for sharing. Yes, it is confirmed the Singapore Galaxy Note users started to receive the update this afternoon local time. Please try to use Kies to update, as a lot of users reported that OTA did not work (showing no update available).
Enjoy your ICS, we know it is always hot in Singapore.

when will get galaxy note update(ice) in kerala..
is cmng???
any idea…
GalaxyNote says
The ICS update for Galaxy Note in India was rolled out already. Please do NOT try OTA. You may try to install Samsung Kies, which will prompt you a message on available firmware update once you connect your Note to the PC using the USB cable.

Rudy C. says
You keep mentioning not to use OTA and I’ve been told that OTA is more reliable compared to anything else. Since I can’t even connect my Note with Kies, what options do I have?
GalaxyNote says
Essentially, OTA and side-loaded update is identical. Actaully, some people believe OTA is more secure (arguable, for sure).
I do not recommend OTA for the following reasons:
1). in most countries, mobile data are still very stupidly expensive, especially if you go beyond your plan. (Some user may not setup wifi at home.)
2). OTA server is less tolerant to congestion than a download server (Kies server): once the number of connection is reached, user may not get the popup message at all through OTA. While Kies server seldom has such issues.
3). You can backup your data to your PC through Kies before performing the update.
Of course, if you have a good wifi connection, or enough (and fast) mobile data connection, you can just go with OTA. Anyway, it is always a good idea to backup your contacts, messages before the update.

Ran says
Hey I’m ran from indonesia, is the ics update have trouble on camera, radio and s pen? I got that info from youtubes and googling, is that true?
GalaxyNote says
Only some users “feel” it is a bit slower. Overall, it is as stable as your Gingerbread. S Pen surely is getting better. The camera is as bad as before.

joe says
I’m in the US with an unlocked, I believe UK version of the note. Any idea if I will get it anytime soon? I also tried doing it through kies and no luck. Thanks
GalaxyNote says
About two weeks, the vague answer from someone working for Samsung UK was that ICS update for Galaxy Note would be rolled out in about UK 2-4 weeks after that in Germany. So, it can be anytime soon. But I haven’t got any confirmation since then. Nowadays most of the people picking up your phone in the customer service center sounds like a diplomat and gives your standard, and useless info on updating schedule.
You should be able to get the update through Kies even if you are in US.

Anybody got anything else??
GalaxyNote says
Didn’t you get the ICS update? Pranav reported the ICS update for Galaxy Note is available in India now. Several tweets also confirmed it is available through both OTA and Kies.
Anyway, you may apply the available update first; then after a few hours check the update again.

Hi Guys,
Any idea when the ICS update for the Galaxy Note will be available in Australia?
Thanks!
GalaxyNote says
No idea on the ICS update for Galaxy Note in Australia, as I do not have any contacts there. You may check with local Samsung distributor.
In the past, Samsung sometimes may roll out the update quite early in Australia/New Zealand; sometimes quite late; sometimes even skip some products.

i am here in belgium but the sim card on my galaxy note is from philippines (roaming) but the phone was bought here, now when do you think i will have the ics update. Thank you.
GalaxyNote says
The official ICS update on Galaxy Note is for German market, although a few users from other European countries also got the update. It seems other regions are still under testing. For Belgium Note users, it should be in the June batch.
The update is based on the location whether the handset is sold (handsets shipped to different regions get different labels), it has nothing to do with the SIM card if you use Samsung Kies.

yesterday for the update here in belgium, ics 4.0.3, through kies.
Alex says
DO NOT UPDATE!!!
I got the update on a German Note. Terrible. So much better with Gingerbread. The only nice thing is face unlock (but is too slow to use everyday)
ALL THE REST IS BAD. Phone a way slower…camera takes forever to shoot and visualize pics. Orrible update. I wish I never did it. Almost thinking about selling my phone.
GalaxyNote says
Thanks for sharing your experience. My friend tried the ROM, and found it is quite stable. Yes, he also felt a bit (not so much) slower than GB. I’m trying CM9, it is faster, but lots of improvements are needed.

Hey,
I’m waiting for the Indian Release.. i heard somewhere that it was to roll on the 15th of dis month.. n another place i heard dat the 10th of June.. do u hv conformation of june one..
Wereevr i see the features of galaxy note after getting ics it shows it’s premium suit.. i don’t see the basic bluish ics which is conformed that won’t be there, but i wanna know whether face unlock feature is there or not?? n what else can i expect except the premium suit…
Thnxx
GalaxyNote says
Face unlock is a basic/standard feature in Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich, ICS), so you will definitely get this feature in the update. In addition, ICS brought several other cool features, we will discuss this in a new post.
Premium suite, a collection of tools and apps, is mainly for your S-Pen. You will definitely enjoy the S Note, far beyond S Memo you have now.
The ICS update for Indian Galaxy Note users is not clear. Usually, it should be in similar time to that in Singapore. So, probably in June.

i am in Indonesia (which is Asia) when that ICS come to my country ? or its same as Hong Kong.
need a confirm because i don’t want root my Note
GalaxyNote says
Normally, the update release date for Indonesia, Philippines and Hong Kong is very close. Usually it is ahead of Singapore/Malaysia and other SEA countries.
If Samsung Hong Kong can keep the words, Indonesian Galaxy Note users may get the ICS update by the end of this month or in early June.
Anyway, this is just my two cents. You may also check with Samsung Mobile Indonesia.

kayrolSPIKE says
for galaxy note malaysia??? any news???
GalaxyNote says
Usually, Samsung releases updates in SEA in similar time. Samsung will very likely release the ICS update in Singapore in middle or late June. So, I guess the official update for Malaysian Galaxy Note users should also be in June.

ROFL says
I would definitely encourage you people to dumped your sammy devices… coz by the time ICS update rolls out, Google is releasing Jelly Bean…haha…what a joke!
GalaxyNote says
All handset makers take ages to update the rom because the monetary rewards for such update are not attractive. They want to sell more and more handsets, so they put less resources on such updates. Samsung is notoriously slow in updating Android. HTC usually is faster and the latest One X is impressive. Of course, Google branded Nexus users always are the first ones getting the latest update
Anyway, this is not so bad compared to other industries. For example, if you buy a PC with Windows 7, you will have to pay to get the update.

frankie says
US here and no update yet. I will be traveling to Hong Kong in a few days…if I get the update there would it be a problem? Like …would it be in chinese? lol
GalaxyNote says
Don’t worry, the update is different for different regions. The update server will first check your ROM region and version; only handsets officially sold in Hong Kong market will get the update (that is for Hong Kong versions only).
Your AT&T version Note probably will get the ICS update before S3 is launched in US. Nowadays, most handset makers, except Motorola and Apple, launch flagship models in us behind Europe and even Asia.

I have been tryign to update my note for 2 weeks and it will not work. It is an AT&T phone and have tried severl cables and still nothing. Help please!!!
Galaxy Note says
is your Note recognized by Kies? If yes, you can try to update Kies first (help–check for updates), then go to Tools–firmware upgrade and initialization.
If your note is not recognized by Kies, you need contact AT&T or Samsung service center.

chetan says
when will india get galaxy note update
GalaxyNote says
Usually, the update in India is rolled out at similar time as in Singapore (e.g., Galaxy S , S2). So, for Galaxy Note, the ICS update probably will be no exception; this means in a few weeks. Samsung Mobile Singapore said last week it is still under local testing. Hopefully, you can get the update by the middle or the end of June.
In Asia, only Samsung Hong Kong confirmed the ICS update will be available in May in Hong Kong. But, Samsung may still push back the date, if you know their record.

Meedz says
No, no, I did NOT get the update. Note GT-N7000. Any particular reason I don’t have the update in your opinion and readings????
I. WANT. ICS. NOW!
GalaxyNote says
Currently, only some European users get the update. If you bought your note in other regions,you probably have to wait a few days or even a few weeks.
Sometimes, if the server is overloaded, your phone may also show no update available.
we will post updates once the update is rolled out in other regions.

Did you check what the CSC code is? (dialing *#272*IMEI# (replace IMEI with your actual IMEI number, which can be viewed from Settings-About Phone–Status). The ICS 4.0.3 update is for TTT.
