Checked with My SGT2ā€¦. OTAā€¦. Size is same as mentioned in postā€¦. However, I have not been able to upgrade as yet because I dont know how to take backup of Contacts, Msgs and filesā€¦. New to Samsung & Androidā€¦ šŸ˜›

available and updated it, finding the transition difficult, on first date
till no:
Pros wifi speed increased many folds, touch has improved
Cons Battery % status not shown , notification window at top not good, it is to be swiped now, some more options difficult to find

This news is not true as I checked my tablet there is no update moreover I called SAMSUNG they said is not any update now

My tab2 updated yesterday through OTA on BSNL sim in kolkata. Some operators still blocked this type firmware updates & their connections get timed out at the time of downloading, ICS was just fine than jellybean, it eats more RAM & screen gets little hazy, MX Player not working properly on JB. wallpaper space reduced with upper & lower, others are same as ICS, not liked.

Just updated the device, touch is better, not sure of the speed will get better idea in days to come. notification window has gone up and needs to be swiped now like in the phone models(maybe ill get used to it).

Hi the time now is 01:35 PM

Still there is no Update Available.. So much eagerly Waiting. If i get the update. I donā€™t mind bunking my office to Explore the Jelly Beanā€¦.

DEAR, SEE OVER KIES, connect the tab to pc, i got updated to 4.1.1 just now in office, from bangaloreā€¦.,

check with cable plugged to kiesā€¦. will solve the update issue.,

OK it is available on KIES though I am confused as to upgrade or not as the update includes the ROM leaked months before and the ROM is suited for phone as the interface is of a phone and it is not tablet ready

Connected via kies, it first updates the kies software, and then gives a message of new firware version for the android jelly bean,,,, it clicked on update and it sarts the procedeure,,, update is currently not available over the air via wifi,,, location mumbaiā€¦

Saw many people saying update not availableā€¦. Could it be related to buildā€¦.. quite possible that, it is a selective release for specific build.

Still no update neither on my tablet and nor on the KIES I do not understand whar is happening why my tablet is not getting it when others have it Has anyone from KOLKATA received it?

I had called SAMSUNG they said no update is there I emailed them today still no reply
Bro if you get any update please repky here bro

When I am connecting the tablet to KIES it is saying that GT P3100 does not support firmware upgrade and initialisation
Can you tell me what to do?

I called SAMSUNG today they are saying that there is no update for SAMSUNG GALAXY TAB 2 this was told to me by the technical department

Yes it is available just go to settings and then go to about device and then to software update then check software update it will then conbect to server and show that there is a update and then download and install it
I upgraded it right now and it working will post benchmark results

Tried it. Says no update available. Trying with Kies now. I guess when you check for the update first time. It asks for Accepting a Disclaimer. I chose India as the country, would it make any difference?


Please watch it this is for those who have not got the update they can watch it and know how it look after the update and this is my 1st ever youtube video so please comment rate and share

Just saw the video you postedā€¦ Have to say, touch has improved, but, didnā€™t like the interfaceā€¦ Would skip update for sometimeā€¦.

Today i updated my tab to jelly bean,,it works smoothly but i dont find google now and screenshot icon is also missingā€¦..how can i take screenshot?

To take a screen capture press the volume down and power button at the same time and hold it until the screen capture is finished

Upgraded to 4.1.1 last nightā€¦ Couldnā€™t resist the goodies of Jelly Bean & Project Butterā€¦. But, got to say, UI-wise, ICS was betterā€¦ Like someone wrote in earlier post, it is meant for phones, not tabletsā€¦.. Samsung has completely botched things upā€¦. Wifey dear has SG Ace Duosā€¦. Now, my Tab 2 interface looks like same as her phoneā€¦.Will be switching to Vanilla JB 4.2 or Cynogen Mod as soon as this is out of warrantyā€¦ disappointed with Samsung JB updateā€¦ šŸ™

My tab also have Google search but there is no voice and when i switch google now on it turns to off automatically when i go back

Today morning at 11.00am I got a notification for the update.It was 360 mb so went to recharge my mobile data.When I came back and checked for the update at 12.00 pm it said ā€œno updates availableā€ till now itā€™s showing the sameā€¦.

dude have u set up your country as something else? ā€˜coz not everyone has got this update. I even tried using Kies, the firmware downloads and then the ā€˜unknown errorā€™ pops out. If anyone from AndroidOs.in could help us guys.

Download the update manually and flash it via odin. Mine got same problem.got jb via odin.
Btw this jb sucks. The font display got worse.its showing a halo around.

Finally got it through ota yesterday but its sucks my battery and not showing remaining battery percentā€¦

Thnx for ur help dude!!!!!!

Could not complete the OTA update of JB and now it says no update avilable šŸ™ any ideas ? how to get the update again šŸ™

All,

once you cancel the update, you can get it only through KIES. I went through same. Cancelled OTA update when it was flashing on my Tab, never got it back. Tried through KIES thenā€¦ Hope, it helps.

Rohit

Alright updated my tab2 to JB! and immediately regret it šŸ™
The dock icons seem jumbled up, screenshot icon is missing, and apparently there is no way to get it back since there is no ā€˜Quick Launchā€™ option in Display settings as there was in ICS.
Also, one of the best features of ICS, the spot search is no longer thereā€¦. google now seems to search the tab but its just not quick n easy enuf!!
Rest everything is ok, the keyboard has improved but almost everything else is almost the same!
I prefer my iphones IOS 5.1 anyday than android jb!!

Hi,

I do have the problem in finding the screen shot icon, if you found it can you mail me the way you did it?

Thanks
Nikhil. S

got the update today morning ā€“ (voda ā€“ mumbai), yet to dig in deep will update once gone through the features ! looks good on the face of it ā€¦

OK

I have got the JB update over the air and it worked fine. BUT! I do not like the lay out. notifications at the top I dont like and when using the tablet in widescreen any widgets that are 2 lines down seem to get clipped. met office weather widget springs to mind. The loss of teh search bar in the top right sucks! Also all the icons seem rather squashed in landscape. I use my Galaxy Tab 2 7 in landscape all teh time so there are a number of things that annoy me. The whole things works far bettter in portrait shich backs up claims that it is a phone version! BUT I dont use mine in portrait so am just left is a few problems.

It seems smooth tho. battery life is better! And I like the sticky icons! A good start but it needs work!

If anyone is getting the message ā€œNo Update Availableā€ then it could be due to the following reasons:

1) Samsung has not release the update for specific countrires.
2) Samsung tries to release update for small number of handsets at a time.
3) Some service providers block such firmware updates.

Solution:

1) Try Samsung Kies.
2) Keep trying the OTA Update

It will be helpful to hear from those who have got the update through OTA. Specifically which Service Provider were they connected to. I have MTNL triband, I still get ā€œNo Update Availableā€ .So it seems Samsung Kies is the way to go, but I will wait. Just like a few others here, I called up customer care guys yesterday and they said that Samsung has not rolled out jelly bean update officially for Tab 2. I feel a bit strange hearing this from customer care, because many of the guys here seem to have got the update through OTA.

Yeah I am in the UK and got mine via OTA for Tab 2 7ā€³

I got my Tab 2 through O2 at Carphone Warehouse tho the tab has nothing to do with O2, it is a stand alone product. Tho I tether it with the Blackberry.

As stated before JB is really good if you use the tab in portrait. If you use it a lot in landscape I would recomend holding off. I even did a factory reset to try and get ICS back but just got a fresh JB. I am learning to live with the faults in lanscape but kind of because I have to lol.

I finally got the OTA update. I had left my tab open and connected to internet overnight. Next morning the JB update was ready to be installed. I have had no issues with the installation and JB works great.

i dnt like the new jb update on tab2. they hav removd the screenshot icon. n nw u cn do it nly by pressing power button n down volume button togthr
bt evn aftr tht the screen shot hs no direct editing options/ n no way fr writng on the screenshot. i need tht function as it help me in doin presentations n sending edited pics back to my freinds//
can any one tell me how to get this feature back or plz tell me hw to downgrade frm ths shit jellybean to way way bettr ics

First of all,Donā€™t update to JB please keep ur ics safely.if you dit ur tab will become gaint phone.its not upgrade it is big downgrade.
and pls help me to get back my ICS

I have been using JB for quite a few days now and am getting used to it. Frankly the layout in landscape mode is poor! It feels very cramped and many widgets do not display correctly. But I am using other widgets now to avoid annoyance and some of the features are great! The sticky icons I love and when you fire up a video now you can make it small and watch it while surfing or enjoying a game pf Plague (or any game). This feature is great! Also teh battery life is a lot better now.

I for one do not miss the screen shot button! I hated it on ICS tbh. But a lot of people semed to have really liked it! If only it was optional? Also the search in the top left is gone and I do miss that!

So JB is well worth having imo. There is enough there to make the update worth while! You will not be able to set your tablet up the same way as on ICS tho. Well you can but you wont like it šŸ˜‰

Well I got my other half a Tab 2 10ā€³ and spent yesterday evening charging it up and getting all teh updates! To my shock teh JB update on that looks identical to the old ICS I had on my 7ā€³. It still has the screen shot button. The clock is still in teh bottom right. it looks exactly the same! the only thing giving it away as JB at all is obviously looking at the details in settings but also that useful google search link in the top left is now a shortcut that that usless google siri style app thing.

Weird behaviour for getting JB update. The update showed me only during day time when i am in office and not during at night at home where i can download the update at ease. Nyways i did manage to upgrade to JB on a weekend ;).
But I regret to the core ! I am still googling and looking for screenshot option in my phone. Some say Power Button + Volume etc but still aint working .
The only sizable advantage being increase in available RAM space . I have a Samsung Tab 2 , which showed 680MB for ICS and now shows 770MB for JB.

Rest i m not impressed with JB ! Hope the patches for JB solve my issues !!

Personal advice : Do not upgrade to JB unless you stuggling for less RAM space.

After getting the JB update, it stopped showing the battery status and under the display settings also i could not find any option to turned it on , any idea from how to get the battery status displayed as it used to be in ICS. downt want to again n again goto battery information to see that.

Nice upgrade.. overwhelmed about the HD widgets.. Smooth screen transition & Scrolling.. Love this upgrade but felling sad Since the screen capture shortcut has gone, i have to press Power button & volume down key to capture the screen,.. its hectic.. also battery % status is also goneā€¦

Does any one know how to restore it againā€¦

The official Jelly Bean update is out in India for galaxy Tab 2 p3100 and it s*cks, all the tablet operating features are gone, the bottom right options(time,notifications,notification icons) have gone on top in a thin black bar, the bottom bar has only 4 options now, the recently opened applications interface is damn irritating. The interface is more likely of a phone now, overall its a failure. I want to switch back to the older version without voiding the warranty please suggest.

Thanks.

The Upgrade from Ice Cream Sandwich(4.0.4) to Jelly Bean(4.1.1) is smooth and efficient . Now the ram amount is displayed up to 770 mb . Performance is as same but vividly smooth . One should get used to the on screen buttons to use as they are moved to the center of the screen. Couple of icons are new.

I use samsung galaxy tab 2 7.0, which i upgraded to jelly bean(4.1.1) and i found that mini messaging is not working. Whenever i try to open it freezes for a moment and an error message appears ā€ unfortunately, mini messaging has stoppedā€. I tried restarting the device but i couldnā€™t come over it .
If any user could find a solution it will be helpful.
