Samsung finally releases ICS for UK Galaxy Note owners

Today saw Samsung finally release ICS for UK Galaxy Note owners.

UWHS Review - Samsung Galaxy Note 028

Both Dan and I have Samsung Galaxy Notes, and we have been eagerly awaiting the release of ICS (Android 4.0) for the Note for a while now. A few people managed to somehow get it, but for most us it’s been a waiting game of constantly tapping Check for Updates, that is until today.

Dan texted me to say that his Note was telling him the update was available. Strangely mine wasn’t!

So I tapped the Check for Update and got the usual message:

CDW - Samsung Galaxy Note ICS Update - 1

I thought I would check via KIES as well, and after a quick KIES software update I was rewarded with this message:

CDW - Samsung Galaxy Note ICS Update - 7

So I tapped Updated and read the Notice telling me what was in the update….

CDW - Samsung Galaxy Note ICS Update - 2

Then I waited while the update downloaded, was prepared and then installed….

Finally I was told it was ready!

CDW - Samsung Galaxy Note ICS Update - 6

Then after the Note rebooted, and I was told that a number of my apps needed updating I saw what I had been waiting to see:

CDW - Samsung Galaxy Note ICS Update - 8

Have you got your update yet? Let us know how you got on.
