Couple questions:

A few days ago, I flashed the UK version on my tablet. Will I still be able to update to the US version/ is there any point to doing so? i dont think there are any differences between the two.

and also, if I do/can update to the US version, is there any way to keep my homescreen setup? I dont feel like changing it again.

I did the same thing and the U.S. version is definitely smoother and more stable. There is a noticeable difference in that area, but you will probably lose your homescreen setup if you switch. I did an FDR, but maybe it doesn't apply to others who have switched.

I checked for an over the air update and it wasnt there. should I try kies?
 
Ok this worked like a charm for me. Uninstall Kies then reinstall it on your computer. Do a factory reset on your tab. Once your tab resets and you have your google account back on it and the reinstalled kies is working again, connect the tab to kies via USB cable and let it update.

Didnt run into any timeouts and it worked first try after I did this. hope this helps

Also it seems to me that this tab run better with ICS than the Tab2. Took mine into Bestbuy to compare the speed difference. I think the Tegra 2 is a much better processor

If I have the UK version, is it worth the trouble of factory resetting and everything? Just dont want to re download all of my apps, and lose my app data.

I only did it because nothing else worked. If you dont want to loe your app data then I would just try unistalling Kies then do reinstall it.

I only factory reset because I wanted to start fresh anyways
 
Follow up. Ended up un-rooting my Tab. Kies for Windows Vista wouldn't recognize the new/old firmware but Kies for Mac did. Plugged it in and it asked if I wanted to update. Said yes and it downloaded and installed in about 1/2 hour. It's like a new machine. Also, Hulu Plus now works on it for some reason. Don't know if it was just a coincidence or what.
 
ICS is Here!!

Hey Guys, last night i checked for updates and found that there was an update for my Tab 10.1 wifi. I upgraded and now have Android 4.04 !!!!!!

The tab is much faster and is using a diff touchwiz. Colors and everything is a little different but definitely a great improvement. This added a little more life into the tab as it was reaching EOL in my household.

The update was 254 mb for those that care to know.

Re: ICS is Here!!

While I appreciate the ice cream Sandwich, I actually I'm not a big fan of the touch wi z theme that Samsung put on it. I much preferred stock ice cream Sandwich.
 
Re: ICS is Here!!

I agree. Maybe now I can root and take touchwiz off. I just wanted to get this update, test it and then see where I go from here.

I went from the UK version to the US. In operation, the US seems a little smoother. But that may be subjective. One post mentioned a few apps included in the US version that weren't in the UK version. Since most of them are things I installed when I was still running 3.2, I can't verify that. I do notice that some widgets lag in loading at startup. That didn't happen with the UK version.
 
Meh. Still no update available for my tab. I may just have to go the Kids route...

Use Kies. Plug in your tablet...., and you'll get the update.
