Beginning October 3rd, the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G will receive an update to Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. While our attention may be focused on upcoming Jelly Bean updates, let us not forget that Ice Cream Sandwich is still a major upgrade from Android 2.3 Gingerbread that has graced the Galaxy S Blaze 4G since it’s release. Along with the usual Android 4.0 improvements and bug fixes, this update also includes a Mobile Hotspot Icon location fix and email option fix.
