Samsung Galaxy Note Gets Leaked Build Of Ice Cream Sandwich With Slight Topping Of Minor Bugs

The Samsung Galaxy Note is no doubt an amazing device, we know that already. We also know that while the device is going to be a wee bit better once it receives its long-awaited software update, it’s going to be a bit of a wait as it’s due to arrive at some point within the next few months. Sammy is hard at work developing the software in the meantime, but “somehow” a build of the upcoming ICS software has leaked. The gang at RootzWiki got their hands on a leaked build of the ICS update for the Galaxy Note and seem to have positive feedback for the update despite its early progress. Here’s a quick rundown of the update:
  • Face Unlock is fully functional
  • LTE connections are solid and up to speed
  • Phone calls work great both ways
  • Audio quality is up to par
  • Stereo Bluetooth is fully functional
  • MMS is fully functional
  • GPS is fully functional
  • Google Talk and Video Chat work
  • Google Voice is fully functional
  • Task Manager is smooth and transitions are quick
  • Downloaded Flash video and in-browser video works flawlessly
  • Chrome autosync is fully functional
  • AT&T Hotspot functionality works, external devices connect fine
The leaked build is pretty smooth for the most part, but there are still some minor bugs and issues potential users will have to deal with. RootWiki confirms TouchWiz does crash upon the first boot, but not subsequent boots. Also, there’s no view in sight of the Premium Suite software as well. Despite that, we’re sure that most of you brave souls are willing to look past the minor quibbles and give it a stab. If you’re on a Windows PC and don’t mind taking a risk at voiding your warranty, be sure to give the leaked build a try on your G. Note. Hit the source link for full instructions.
