Confirmed: TouchWiz update on August 3rd

I'm more hopeful they'll dump Keis and give us a way to just plug it in to USB on ANY computer.

Does anyone know if this update will include the share App?

I'm pretty jazzed for this. I guess I will take the subway ride down to the Samsung Experience Store to get the update, and maybe even pick up a case if I can.

We don't even really need 3.2, do we? It just adds Support for 7 in screens and MicroSD on the Xoom. Right?

 

[freddyc]

I think there are some bug fixes in there as well. I'm sure it's broken down in the Xoom forum.

I'm also pretty sure someone will have the Touchwiz update on the web (probably XDA) for those of us brave enough to install it manually

 

[ptf]

I'd just rather not have Sammy pour a inch of effort and $$ into a 3.2 update that gets delayed so long that it pushes back ICS.

 

[werkx]

i hope they release a non-OTA version so the manual update is available sooner.

edit: just read the XDA review of it. looks really good. http://www.androidcentral.com/preview-touchwiz-ux-update-samsung-galaxy-tab-101

I hope ALL tablet versions get the update at the same time and Verizon LTE version doesnt take longer to be released.

Im excited! I never really liked touch wiz...but this looks like its going to be a very functional overlay of the UI.
Cant wait!

Just a reminder that Galaxy Tablet 10.1 owners have been able to get the Touchwiz update for over two weeks now from bonsai4android.com. And no data loss...

 

[Edwill86]

Thanks but I think most of us rather get the official update from the manufacture and not a leaked version.

Fair enough. Would love to understand why that is a preference for some. Honest question and market research. I'll start a new thread to get some feedback.

Samsung's TouchWiz update goes out publicly on Aug. 5

Nice Samsung, have a huge press event about how great the update is, but make everyone wait a few days to get it even though you obviously have it ready to go.

Lame. I was super excited to get home tonight and play with TouchWiz.

as i understand it the leak still has bugs that the official release might fixed.

The press release specifically says update for the 10.1 WiFi version...
Anyone know if they are going to have this update for customers that just bought a 4GLTE version less than a week ago?
Maybe I missed it in the press release here > Samsung Mobile Announces Availability of Major Software Update for Award-Winning Samsung Galaxy Tab

Is anyone else tired of Samsung delaying crap because you don't live in NYC?

it says "all", so i'm thinking yes.

Are we sure it's still rootable after this update? I'm waiting to hear from some people that loaded the official OTA.

I would be surprised if it is not still rootable. The bootloader update that we received as part of the TW leak includes a modification to ODIN screen that presents a clickthrough warning that installing a custom ROM could be hazardous to your health. So seems they are trending in the direction of more open.
