uhm.. just one question - does anybody, who has the ICS port b12 installed, problems with data / 3G connection?

because 3G is displayed but grey and no data connection is possible.. but not the whole time, only sometimes oO

that's the only issue which is indeed a bit annoying..

fyi: Loc: Germany, Vodafone

I doubt Koush will release anything.
[Nexus S General] kptnk:
AdamG confirmed it will be based on ICS, and it will be indeed v3.....regarding to the ETA, nobody can know, simply because if you ask for it on their Oxygen/Devnull Forum, you're immediately banned ...... :/..... so for change, wait and see.......
[Nexus S General] scott8281:
Yea I doubt it too. I guess it really depends on whether or not hes building it specifically for CM. From what i gather it looks like he has an AOSP build almost ready for the Nexus S but as far as CM goes he'll need to get it ready & working with all the CM framework. Either way Koush is talented and awesome and even if he waits till he gets it ready for CM we should see some nightlies fairly quick

does anyone know the difference between kernel 2.6 and 3.0 ??
[Nexus S General] suhas_sm:
the port is still an alpha -- the Bluetooth, WiFi and other radios aren't functioning just yet.

Koush has made much more progress on Nexus S. Engadget doesn't know about it I guess. Only Bluetooth and Camera left here.

[Nexus S General] ipatella:
Does Google Push updates on weekends? If they don't then there are only 3 days next week that work. Considering how there's a chance for an update to go horribly wrong and there's a holiday next week I'd bet on a date after thanksgiving for the official update. After watching all these ICS videos, Gingerbread feels dated :(

[Nexus S General] Ari Gold:
Yeah :) Just installed and everything works absolutely fine..

But can anyone tell me how to use a proper wallpaper? No matter which one i use, (tried like 100 different sizes from 800*480, 1600*1200, 1280*1024, 1920*1200 and so on) i always get a lot of black screen around it as you can see in the screenshot.. I know these are not the optimal resolutions for a wallpaper, but at least with the high resolution ones it should be enough if i mark the zone of the picture i want to be my wallie. but that doesnt work. it always keeps me giving this black edge. On the other homescreens it even looks a lot worse. Feeling pretty dumb right now.. Maybe its my excitement :D
[Nexus S General] maniac2403:
How are you actually setting wallpaper? If using Gallery, when you select a wallpaper, crop tool should show up. Keep the selection box within the image dimensions, and it should use the entire screen.
[Nexus S General] gszabi:
It will work with i9023? somebody tried it yet?
[Nexus S General] pilspeda:
You mean ICS 4.0.3 ?

Got it running smoooothly on my i9023.

Haven't gained root yet, but I can live with that atm.
[Nexus S General] Ari Gold:
I know, but crop tool seems to be buggy. I tried it with other Galleryapps and it works just fine, but with the new ICS Gallery WPs arent fullscreen although they are big enough and i used the crop tool. Dont know, maybe its just me.

Yup, im running it on an i9023. Minor bugs like Brightnessadjust doesnt work properly sometimes and the problem above. Besides that everythine works perfect and extremely smooth for me.

I'm not expecting it until after the Verizon galaxy nexus version launches.
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
I like the update feature-wise, but I've noticed it's slower to load and respond than the last release. Maybe it'll run better in an ICS environment, but I'm concerned it's a hardware issue. Hopefully not.
[Nexus S General] RonnieRuff:
It may be in December. I am sure there is a window agreed to with Verizon in the US. They want to sell a few Galaxy Nexus phones first
[Nexus S General] italia0101:
Really ? For me when it was in beta it was slowwww.

Its much more responsive now.

Only a bit of slow at the start of the app, but it looks like that's due to it connecting to the internet but the realising I'm not allowed tto, as I'm in the UK its not avalible
[Nexus S General] red_skittles:
How will releasing OTA for the NS affect Galaxy Nexus sales. The NS was released 1 year ago so everyone who bought it on contract has at least one more year left on their contracts and if you bought it off contract you must be rich to be able to drop $500 on a phone just to get a new one a year later. Maybe you mean that Galaxy Nexus is the only ICS device so if ICS is available on NS people will buy it rather than GN. Most android users are running older versions of gingerbread and even froyo with manufacturer skins. they don't know/care about the latest and greatest versions of android and if they do then theyll get the GN because its the latest and greatest, they wont settle for a 1 year old NS
[Nexus S General] RonnieRuff:
What I mean is for as long as they do not do the OTA the only way to get ICS is to buy that phone. If you don't think that there are people that so want ICS they will forgo waiting and go buy the phone you do not understand the basics of marketing. I think Verizon has at minimum a one month window to have an exclusive on ICS, maybe through Christmas the busiest retail season.
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
I'm certainly not rich but a new off contract phone each year is part of my toys budget. The re-sale value on the Nexus phones is pretty good too. I sold my N1 with car and desktop dock for a little over $400 after owning it for a year. I don't think the NS will have as good a re-sale value though because it is more readily available.

The GN will be a big hit, especially after all the rave reviews it has gotten already.
[Nexus S General] RonnieRuff:
One month after is my bet
[Nexus S General] RonnieRuff:
I am going to buy one... some people buy a new car every year :-) I like phones
[Nexus S General] irishrally:
No doubt. I just have to make sure I don't make a drunken online purchase some night for a $850 imported GN. Drinking and surfing is dangerous. One night I ordered a ton of parts off of newegg to build an HTPC. I woke up the next morning and had a major "oh ****" moment.

I think it's more likely that the 4.0 binaries for Nexus S simply aren't done yet. As soon as they are ready and in a releasable conditions, they'll be released. Of course, they'll also send us an OTA at that time, too....
[Nexus S General] Luxferro:
I don't think that is the reason at all. I be they are done, as has been shown by the leaked dev phone sold on ebay. The reason they aren't gonna be released is cause google is not gonna release them until after the galaxy nexus launches, and has had time to pull in some sales as the only phone that has ICS (offically). Also, that they have agreements with carriers (namely verizon).

Releasing them earlier would piss off carriers, and lessen the marketability of the galaxy nexus.
[Nexus S General] suhas_sm:
This seriously sucks. When iOS5 was out, #downloading iOS5" was trending worldwide. Google will never be able to create that kind of buzz and loyal fan following. Fragmentation even in Nexus devices .. Lol. #facepalm
[Nexus S General] xsteven77x:
Even if they released the dam binaries now and we had roms, a miniscule percentage of total android owners would even be aware of it or know how to install it. Just seems stupid to me.
[Nexus S General] funkyblue04:
Google do not care. Its a pity. Its tarnishes them just a little for me. I want to buy a GN but not even a release date for Australia. Iphone 4s was releases here same day as everyone else. So were the updates. We just get dead silence.
[Nexus S General] iGoogleNexus:
Worldwide yes but all apple got was updates Android Started From The Very Beginning... so in reality ... there's an Android In Everyone...

-Google
[Nexus S General] obsanity:
Android and IOS are two completely different systems. One is very complex and opened for anyone to do anything with it. The other is tightly controlled and simple to construct without the diversity needs.

Here is the bottom line. Apple picked the easy way.

So when you compare the two and expect similarities, you have no knowledge and no idea of what you're talking about.

Sent from my Nexus S 4G
[Nexus S General] funkyblue04:
The Nexus S is not complicated. It's Googles pure Android phone. They have the update and drivers. They are chosing not to release either.
[Nexus S General] laslow:
When Gingerbread was released, it was exclusive to the Nexus S. The Nexus one had to wait weeks before the source was dropped to AOSP and the official ROM released for it. It's a sales tactic. Simple business.

Chill out, relax, and be patient. *****ing on here won't make Google release the offical ROM any faster, and only makes you look whiny and entitled. ICS will get here soon enough.
[Nexus S General] funkyblue04:
Pity they also stuffed up the worldwide release of the GN. I have no release date here in Australia. It's still not avaliable SIM-Free anywhere.
[Nexus S General] suhas_sm:
It is not about the technology but the policies and decisions. What stops them from rolling out OTAs to other Nexus devices on day one? Don't they have the enough infrastructure and man power to do so ? Google could have easily gone ahead done that. Infact, if they want they can keep other major players in loop and make them deliver too.
[Nexus S General] RonnieRuff:
Two different business models. Does Apple approve of rooting their phone (Jailbreaking) hell no.. alternative markets? Nope
[Nexus S General] RonnieRuff:
Then buy an iPhone
[Nexus S General] RonnieRuff:
No... they are choosing not to be on your schedule LOL

[Nexus S General] suhas_sm:
I have no qualms what so ever. I am ready to wait for couple of months but that shouldn't stop from criticizing :D

@Ronnie

Over looking their cons makes no sense. Criticism is always good. Most of us buy/bought Nexus because of the instant updates. Nexus S got small updates, this was first opportunity for Nexus S to get an instant Major Update. And yeah I criticize brands that I love unlike Apple fans boy who take no criticism and want no criticism.

As for the GNex ... its now December 8th =\

-Google
[Nexus S General] obsanity:
Its all about the technology. Fragmentation is a result of this complicated system which Google decided to go with. Many different manufacturers and carriers make this one time world wide update very difficult.

I would say, don't speak about what you don't know. And if you want a system where you get all the updates go buy an iPhone and obey their decisions.

Fragmentation or different distros

The face (un)lock will never be anything but a gimmick, IMO. Neat, impressive, and complete BS, just like the Segway.

Still, I wonder what the holdup is. Are there hardware or software differences between US and Europe? Production/delivery problems? Or are the network providers just playing silly buggers because they hate unlocked phones?

Not to say, but there is no doubt he will release a stable version, and i you learn this is a good job, i bet you will be one of the first people to download it and flash it.

A real dev... What is a real dev? Does develop a really good version only with a sdk isn't enough?

Oh, he stole the job of another one. This is another debate. On my opinion, he gave credits.

I'm also having a hard time finding information on who is actually working on this. Drew said he'd have it, then the thread got locked and he vanished. I am too new to understand the drama with that, nor do I particularly care.

Right now I'm running a rom that I'm not entirely happy with, and I'm uncertain of whether I should continue updating/testing, hold off and wait for someone to release ICS, or put on stock and wait for OTA.
[Nexus S General] bobsbobbers:
Not sure what ROM you're running, and I only tried a few, but before I went back to stock I decided to give Bugless Beast a shot and was pleasantly surprised. (it's been rock solid for me and is almost always super fast) I fully intend to stick with this ROM until a solid ICS port comes down the pipe
