From Android 4.0.3, I now have 4.0.4 for my galaxy note. I'm glad Samsung considers galaxy note users for software upgrade. I had a hard time upgrading my phone. It's always error. Probably because our internet is unstable or I used my phone while upgrading. I tried more than 10 times. I tried both wi-fi and Samsung Skies. Also, I changed my sim card which I used for 4.0.3 upgrade. It was only successful after I changed my sim and I used Samsung Skies for the upgrade. I received a notification for upgrade last Tuesday morning, but we didn't have electricity that time due to heavy rains.

There are two major features for Android 4.0.4. First one is the Pop Up Play. It can be founded on the Galaxy S III. Pop Up Play is so cool. Second is the signature unlock. It will allow users to unlock their galaxy note using signatures via S-Pen Stylus.

The upgrade also fixed the bug for Text-To-Speech Output for message. It didn't work properly when I had Android 4.0.3. It is good thing to know who is the sender of the message immediately without looking your phone because you will know whether the message you received is very important or other way around.
I read that Samsung will release Android 4.0, also known as Ice Cream sandwich, last March. I am excited to have it since it is the latest operating system of Android. I am also glad because Samsung will provide this update to galaxy note. It said that the software package offers exclusive S Pen applications, enhanced multimedia features, and an Android 4.0 upgrade. After waiting for almost 3 months, the official software package is finally available. It is about 370+MB. At first try, the download is not successful. I don't know why, but probably because our wifi was not stable last night. However, I was able to make it. I saw great differences from gingerbread to ice cream sandwich. You can watch the video below.
