"Google Friday announced that the Nexus S would be upgraded to Ice Cream Sandwich starting Friday. The phased release will start with GSM models first, followed by CDMA models over the next few weeks."
[Nexus S General] nitroxt:
which version is that supposed to be? I know they mentioned 4.0, but wouldn't it be rather 4.0.3?

and btw, did anyone already get an update notification?

Yeah !!!

have a full stock packacge flashed, wiped the phone out and about to lock bootloader :eek:
[Nexus S General] BigD18t:
Easy to do ?
[Nexus S General] 4I-I:
Is this necessary? Cant you just flash a .zip that will be uploaded here?
[Nexus S General] Nomedias:
Based on past OTAa, I think as long as your running stock your fine. No need to unroot or lock the bootloader. Someone know different?
[Nexus S General] bdpyo:
no, im just super anal about having clean installs so once in while i'll flash stock and wipe the whole phone out

whats the dialer code for forced ota checks?
[Nexus S General] nitroxt:
does anyone have a fast download link for nexus s (3g gsm) stock software? clockworkmod is very slow.
[Nexus S General] jvanlew:
I was wondering the same thing regarding locking the bootloader. I even question whether you need stock recovery but I'm rolling completely stock (locked and stock). Hehe.
[Nexus S General] brenix:
For those going back to gingerbread.. maybe it'll be smart to keep dialing *#*#2432546#*#* to manually force a check-in for updates... Just a thought...

Yeah, that's what I'm doing. After you dial, is there anything else you need to do? I go in and check system updates but it just says system up to date (obviously). Would a notification appear if I had an update available? Sorry for the n00b question. I've only had my NS a month or so.

edit: weird... after I submitted a report to google for the problem the camera app works now... it's not zero lag shutter but it feels faster than the camera app under gingerbread.
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
It can't be zero shutter lag unless you replace the lens in the NS. The reason Samsung went with only a 5MP lens in the GN is because of the shutter speed it achieved.

Once u finished decode, maybe google already renamed ota zip. Lol

Sent from my Nexus S
[Nexus S General] McDV:
Right, only downloading and uploading again is an option, otherwise Google would delete the OTA within minutes I guess.

Anyway, would we be able to flash it? Maybe what we would need is an NAND-dump of the System!
[Nexus S General] bringonblink:
My god you guys are impatient :p
[Nexus S General] BrianDigital:
Perhaps google is pushing the ota to employees that are connected to thier network wifi.
[Nexus S General] :
Exactly. You must first have a lot of patience to learn to have patience, as SJ Lec said.
[Nexus S General] armoredkin:
I can't wait so I unroot n now I'm quite satisfied :p
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
A GB prerelease was sent to all N1 phones Google gave to employees and to the press. The problem was many of the N1 were not in possession of Google employees anymore and the last thing Google wanted was press members getting beta builds. My guess is Google doesn't want these beta builds to get released to the public this time and are taking better measure to not get the build leaked.
[Nexus S General] athani:
I don't think OTA's are deleted immediately. But yes, nand dumps are the best chance..provided one of them google employees uploads it.
[Nexus S General] DirtyShroomz:
I'm sure the people that matter have gotten their hands on it already and are waiting for approval to build.

NS4G
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
This did not happen. Gb did not leak early for the nexus one. Google employees got the ota about 24 to 36 hrs before the rest of us. Google made the announcement that the ota started, employees got first. Next day or so the public. Which go out in waves. Each day more and more people get it.

Any other nexus one running gb prior was a aosp rom.
[Nexus S General] hp420:
it's not a matter of impatience...I want ICS because my phone runs much, much better when it's running ICS, and right now I am paying extra for 4G that I can't use because google hasn't released the ROM so Sprint can get started on the WIMAX drivers. The longer they take to release the update, the more money I lose.

Yeah...there's always someone who's gonna say 'then downgrade to GB if you want 4G"....like I said, my phone performs MUCH better in ICS....so much that running GB is almost unbearable for me, because now I'm used to the lightning fast response and snappiness of ICS. It's like taking a heroin addict of 10 years and giving them methodone. It's just not the same, and they will always want more than they are getting.
[Nexus S General] snandlal:
Your comparing yourself to a dopefiend.

Go back to GB now for 4g.

Your phone does not run better with aosp ICS.

Re-read your post and look at how you sound.
[Nexus S General] aLNG:
He sound normal to me
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
I may be mistaken about which release it was, but it definitely happened. All of the test units and Google employee phones got it a lot more than 24 hours before the public. The build was subsequently pulled from the update server for quite a while.
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
Yeah. It seems spreading falsehoods is now the norm around here.

You want 4g then flash back to gb and stfu. You want to use a early build of ics that is not fully functional on your phone use it and stfu.
[Nexus S General] mstevens:
Huh.

I've never had any firmware on my NS4G except stock. I did root it the day I got it and flashed CWM recovery. I never received the OTA update to 2.3.7.
[Nexus S General] BrianDigital:
He would rather whine about an ota that's not even out yet and act like he is entitled to the second source drops just because he bought a phone. Where as my buddy loves android has a nexus s could care less about ics when it gets here it gets here.

I'd like to point out your not paying more money for 4g its a crappy way to add preimium data to an unlimited account.....really wish I worked for sprint and be like retards just add ten to your plans and avoid idiots calling in and crying about paying for a 4g when its not in the area.

Sent from my ICONIA
[Nexus S General] MaxCarnage:
After having played with all the ICS ROMs and going back to stock, I in no way believe that you were experiencing the kind of speed improvements that you're claiming from the source ROMs. No doubt the devs who released them did great work, and they are probably about as good a quality you could ask for from non-hardware tweaked releases, but they are not nearly as fast as the GB ROMs that are benefiting from hardware customized releases.

OC and tweak the CPU and voltage settings on a GB ROM the same way you have your ICS ROMs and you'll be golden.
[Nexus S General] Aequilibrium:
Sorry guys for the stupid question. I'm new with android, but if I have 2.3.6 i can't receive ICS ota?
[Nexus S General] ruthlesset:
You should once Google officially releases it.
[Nexus S General] RonnieRuff:
Of course they do!

Bounced off a tower to a forum near you!
[Nexus S General] RonnieRuff:
LOL! Right now no ICS ROM is as fast as a trim GB ROM like Oxygen, no way.. now how. I have tried all of the ICS variations.

Google is not going to release the code until the new flagship is out. It just will not happen.

There's probably a window after the Verizon release that Google has to wait before they are allowed to release ICS on the NS. But given how Verizon has really screwed up the release of the Galaxy Nexus, I hope the window isn't very long.
[Nexus S General] shrivelfig:
This.

Let's hope there's a deadline in case Verizon turns out to be Verizlow.
[Nexus S General] RonnieRuff:
Me too although I think I may just have to go buy one and give the NS back to Best Buy (they will buy it back for 200)

[Nexus S General] kresk:
It's official, I'm obsessed with checking this website for the ICS update. As many of you know it's just fun to talk about. I needed to vent a little hence this post.

[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
I'm tempted to buy the GN too. But not the Verizon version which comes with bloatware. I will stick with the GSM version that is vanilla Android.

[Nexus S General] offenberg:
The GN is not even released in my country yet. The NS was released in every part of the world before the N1 got gingerbread. Remember. They want you to buy the GN. I don't think we'll have ICS before 2012. Maybe very late this month.

i9023 devices are in luck.
[Nexus S General] red_skittles:
Do you mean they will be getting it or the roll out has already begun?

Any ideas on why Google\s compromising the whole idea behind the Nexus line for Verizon? Why did they give it to them exclusively (for now at least). Why are they letting Verizon preinstall their apps on it and took Wallet off because Verizon said so.
[Nexus S General] RonnieRuff:
Honestly because this time they want to sell a lot of phones LOL

Where is my G Nexus?
[Nexus S General] ahqball:
Already begun here in Australia.

I've been raving on about my AOSP ICS ROM for ages now haha... and now that my friend finally has the official on her handset, she's rubbing it in my face.

Cant wait to steal her phone when she's not looking and have a play around with the real deal :)
[Nexus S General] red_skittles:
How much interest does Google have in the GN succeeding financially?? Samsung manufactured it, do we even know if Google takes a cut of that? If the phone fails to move units, its Samsung taking the loss not Google, and for all we know Google may even subsidize the costs of Nexus manufacturers on the basis that its only a reference/developer phone and won't sell a lot to begin with. And if they truly are concerned with sales, why not just give it to all carriers and let them sell it on contract??
[Nexus S General] wildestpixel:
In which case a root and nandroid would be in order...........
[Nexus S General] shockem:
Dude! Take her phone and leak the files!! :D
[Nexus S General] HAKA:
fck OTA, i am the beta tester for MIUI ICS! :D
[Nexus S General] McDV:
I think her phone isn't rooted, so you couldn't make a NADN-backup, right? But maybe you could at least make a logcat - if it's not too late by now - and get the OTA's URL! :)
[Nexus S General] RonnieRuff:
Not sure you know how marketing works LOL. Yes they get a cut! They have an exclusive w/ Verizon for a time window then it will open to other carriers. Verizon paid dearly for that window. This is not just a dev phone it is the first phone with ICS. Never forget first and formost Google is driven by sales. The plan is to create excitement for a product in this case ICS. They are doing that no?

Where is my G Nexus?
[Nexus S General] shockem:
Dude! Pm me the download link! Lol. I thought you had to know Chinese to apply?
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
How are they going to do that by being only on Verizon? Verizon doesn't want to phone to succeed. It only damages their Droid brand. In the US, the average user doesn't know Android but they do know Droid. Google should of never did an exclusive with Verizon. They created a world phone that isn't allowed to be sold in the US. I really wonder about Google sometimes. They should of at least offered the world phone on AT&T and T-Mobile at the same time. Now they let Verizon add their crapware and remove Google Wallet. They shouldn't even be allowed to use the Nexus name on Verizon.
[Nexus S General] HAKA:
Sorry dude..... cant....i have to be trustworthy... :p

Naah...it has english translation too

Still...its a hybrid with miui apps....not full miui v4 as shown in the pics before...

But its a lot smoother and also has volume bugfix with camera effects working
[Nexus S General] red_skittles:
NS was the first Gingerbread device and it was unsubsidized and carrier free, what makes the GN different. What sales are Google driven by? Nexus phones account for a very small fraction of Android sales, so any cut they take in it is going to be a very very small percent of their bottom line. And again, if they did want more sales they could give it to all carriers. An exclusivity deal is just quick cash in Google's pocket, and its not like Google is in desperate need to have the cash now, so why compromise the open/vanilla android/developer/whatever idea behind the Nexus. I just find it weird that Google is letting Verizon dictate to them how to sell the phone and that Google would take Wallet off of because of Verizon. Either way its no concern to me, I love in Canada :p I'm just interested in the motives of these two companies
