I just put my T-Mobile SIM which came along with the pack and i got a system update notification now. here is the picture.
[Nexus S General] jlaudio27:
Sweet I'll give this a try tonight.

In regards to my syncing issue, I usually run Titanium Backup, the batch mode to backup all User Apps and Data. Could restoring that on different ROMs be causing me issues?
[Nexus S General] wolf230:
Keep us informed about if it is 4.04

Its 4.0.3

[Nexus S General] d_phekt:
Was curious to try, so I restored my backup of stock GB. Booted up and instantly prompted me to update to ICS. Downloaded fine, but failed installing. Just came up with the exclamation mark with triangle around it?? No idea. Not a big deal to me since I'm not a big fan of ICS yet. Like I said... I was just curious.
[Nexus S General] jlaudio27:
Thanks so much for the recommendation! Loaded it last night everything working perfectly so far. All my issues with syncing are gone now too. Thanks again!
[Nexus S General] Fylk:
If they ARE resuming with updates, that's good news for those of us with i9020As
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
They also resumed the OTAs for the Galaxy Nexus GSM v4.0.2 yesterday. I don't think either is any indication of when they will provide the OTA for the i9020a though.
[Nexus S General] Fylk:
How so? If they are proceeding in some kind of order, then resuming any and all progresses means we are that much closed to the step which results in the i9020A gettings its OTA.
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
They also didn't provide a bug fix yet for the i9020t version. It seems like they would wait until those issues are fixed before rolling it out to the other GSM version. It almost seems there was an issue with the update server. Otherwise, I don't know why they halted the release and then resumed with the exact same version weeks later.
[Nexus S General] Fylk:
According to sources at google they were staggering the update to make sure there weren't any major issues with it.
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
So they turned the update server off for several weeks and then resumed the rollout with the same version that seems to have a lot of major issues? In fact, they disabled updates altogether for the Nexus S so you couldn't even update to the latest Gingerbread release. I'm not convinced it was a part of the rollout plan. Especially when they turned off the updates for the Galaxy Nexus as the same time.
[Nexus S General] jlaudio27:
It would be nice if they just told us what was going on. Rather than just leave us sitting here in the dark. Its frustrating, I went through this same thing with my Nexus 1 and the Gingerbread release. 1yr later they are doing the same thing to me! I really don't see the advantage anymore for having a Nexus device. Both times the reason I went with them was because they are supposed to get the updates first. But by now I am sure there are plenty of ICS ROMs for Galaxy S II and other Android devices. I really like the Galaxy Nexus, but with the price tag right now, I might just go with another device (for my next phone). Just anything that is easy to unlock the bootloader and then I can just ROM it like I've ended up having to do with my Nexus devices anyway!

[Nexus S General] PuRe_ChAoS12:
The only way to know for sure is to compute a MD5 checksum on the old update and the new one people are receiving now to check if there are any differences.
[Nexus S General] KBanause:
If Google would have made some changes then you should see it in the source code AND they should have changed the version number (or at least the build number which is IML74K for the OTA before they stopped it).
[Nexus S General] yokes:
Hm... in ICS Battery only lasted for 9hrs 50m 52s or so and its a total disappointment. Earlier in Ginger Bread 2.3.6 battery was lasting more than a day for me for my normal usage.

You should be able to open the zip file and take the radio file from here.

Also search in further back in this thread, there are instructions on how to flash ICS onto the I9020A
[Nexus S General] InfinitiGuy:
I performed a backup before I upgraded to 4.0.3. Would the radio file also be in that backup file somewhere?
[Nexus S General] alen1901:
That could be because you used wifi 9hours, and if it was in use all the time(downloading, surfing etc).. battery is draining fast. Or try to calibrate battery.

[Nexus S General] KBanause:
Having wifi activated is not draining battery. But he was doing phone calls for 3 hours during those 9 hours, his screen was on for nearly two hours and the phone wasn't in standby for a long time. Those are the big drainers not wifi.
[Nexus S General] yokes:
There is a significant difference in Battery backup when you turn off Wi-Fi, Syncing, and using only 2G networks.

The problem for me now is when i turn off the phone and turn it on again i was not able to connect to my mobile network. I have to again un check the Use only 2G Network Option and scan for the Network.

Sorry no screen shot now as in between i used adapter for charging so the stats got reset.

[Nexus S General] alzakx:
so a fraking month went by and no update for the i9020A. Do you guys remember how long was it for the N1 on ATT bands to get the gingerbread update after the N1 for tmo?
[Nexus S General] jack.tremaine:
Finally tonight, after weeks of waiting for the damn official OTA, I gave up and went the DYI way. Flashed the existing OTA followed by the radio.img from 2.3.6 - now I have ICS working on my i9020A. Beautifully.

Thanks to all you chaps that contributed in some way.
[Nexus S General] alzakx:
This is a joke. Google hasn't been able to finish releasing the fraking update and HTC is officially giving their devices the ICS OTA.

[Nexus S General] KBanause:
This is an announcement made 07/11/2011. Let's see whether they are really starting to release the OTAs or not ;)

Did you follow any tutorial to do this? Could you write one for noobies like me that want to do this :D?

[Nexus S General] alzakx:
Still nothing, this is ridiculous. i9020A might never get ICS.
[Nexus S General] Fylk:
Okay, I'm BLOOD TIRED OF PEOPLE SAYING THIS.

i9020a will get an OTA, and it will get ICS. There is little to no difference between the two '3g' models past some screen tech and attena. RAM, ROM, threading specs. ITS ALL THE SAME. THERE IS NO LOGICAL REASON FOR IT NOT TO GET ICS.

ARG!
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
Maybe. But at this point, Jelly Bean might be announced before ICS is rolled out to the NS variants.

[Nexus S General] californiarailroader:

[Nexus S General] spikey68:
The fact that the only decent build they have zaps the battery within 2 hours seems a very logical reason for not releasing ICS on the phone.

[Nexus S General] Fylk:
First off, I was so angry that I forgot the y in bloody.

Second, I've seen it zap the battery for some. Others it has great life. Honestly, until we have a study were the phone only uses apps made completely for ICS, without tasker, etc, I won't trust the results. This is a rather big leap forward in terms of ui framework. Apps from the Donut and Eclair era are going to act up.

Off topic Nexus S is new to me. Could you recommend good rom and forum/team to tag on to?
[Nexus S General] alzakx:
Remember when Google said on december 19th that "over the coming month" all Nexus S GSM variants will recevie the ICS OTA?

Over the coming month. If my math it's not wrong, that would mean that by january 19th my Nexus S i9020A should have received the OTA.

All Nexus S GSM variants. If my knowledge on GSM is not wrong, that means that the i9020A variant should have received the OTA as well.

So far this is what your dear Google has said:

Here: https://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=4173d37ad6ba4e85&hl=en

Dated 12/19/2011.

Then after all Google employees went off to enjoy the holidays, someone showed up to finally start investigating the multiple issues NS users were having:

Here: https://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Google+Mobile/thread?tid=1c21a7e3690388b0&hl=en

Dated: 1/4/2012

For what I've heard, Galaxy Nexus users are also experiencing multiple issues. So, it seems like ICS was an incomplete product that was launched to meet a specific deadline.

I gladly passed on getting a Galaxy Nexus. Mostly because it's a Samsung phone. Hopefully the next Nexus will be a Motorola phone.

P.S. My HTC Nexus One was flawless!
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
That is doubtful. Google will not want to alienate other phone manufacturers by making the very first Nexus phone after the Motorola Mobility acquisition be a Motorola exclusive.

There you have it. You wanted to know when you will get ICS on your NS, wait until March.

Knowing Google, I'd say you'll get the OTA the 29th-30th-ish

So, do you want to wait for 2 more months?

Tweet this: #googlegofuckurself
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
That says 4.0.5 is coming in March. It doesn't say ICS on NS phones will not come out officially before then.
[Nexus S General] Fylk:
This extremely true. We don't know if 4.0.3 requires 4.0.2 or if it can be applied straight from 2.4.6.
[Nexus S General] rasengan82:
I gave up on the Official ICS OTA. Went back to GB stock rooted. And damn! ICS is soooo slow (smoother though) opening apps and showing stuff on the screen compared to GB. I never realized this until going back to GB.
[Nexus S General] alzakx:
So I decided to unlock the bootloader and load ICS. Flashed the 2.3.6 i9020A radio on it and it works OK. Im running 4.0.3

No more waiting for Google.

Yes, the Android OS take 23% of battery time.

I will look close on the performance. So far it has worked OK for me. No lag or anything.
[Nexus S General] rasengan82:
OK found out that setting transitions to .5x makes ICS as fast as GB.
[Nexus S General] ashwin988:
Thats something that I am a little curious about too. So right now I am on a i9023 nexus S with the OTA ICS. My recovery is 'black' same issue that many people are facing. Anyway , my question is, would my Nexus S receive this OTA updates to 4.0.5 or would I need to revert to stock 2.3.6?
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
You are running stock 4.0.3. Why would you need to downgrade to get a notification of a new version?

[Nexus S General] blazingwithfire:
I believe stock ICS ROM doesn't necessitate your NS to be rooted.

You can download a stock ICS ROM (the complete version, not the upgrade version), put in your /SDCARD folder and then go into recovery mode, performed "factory reset" and then install the ROM.

This will give you a freshly installed ICS on your NS. Hopefully you can resume your work after that.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mike21pr:
Hello. I have signed a two year contract with AT&T (4gb data yaaay...) and got the HTC Titan since im a WP7 lover, but after a week im not sure i can justify a long term agreement on the platform so im gonna use my 30 day windows to swap it. Since i know ill get bored of iOS its out, so its between the GS2 or the Skyrocket since the Vivid is somewhat laggier and locked bootloader. Im leaning towards this due to the Exynos vs Snapdragon debacle....

Question, Is it worth a contract nowadays or is there a better choice? I wished the Galaxy Nexus arrived before my 30 days was up but its not happening. Please share thoughtz

If you're in a LTE area and don't mind having a higher battery drain due to 4g then go with the Skyrocket. Of the two I think that the GS2 is the better choice but then again I couldn't take advantage of the 4g where I am so the skyrocket would be pointless.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bigblue95z:
Wow I'm sick of seeing these threads.

Only you can decide what is going to be best for you. If you're in LTE and use the phone for surfing, ect, get the ****rocket. If you play games or watch movies, sgs2 is the way to go.

Do a search and you'll see all the pro/con thread already out there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Red5:
Best bet is to go into a store and play with both phones. If you still cant decide after that, then specwise the GS2 is a better phone than the Skyrocket... so let that be the thing to tip the scales.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] HellBunny:
It is not entirely false. In my area (Northern California), the AT&T corporate stores and authorized dealers no longer carry the original S2, only the Skyrocket. I got mine from a local RadioShack. I guess it is because they are nationwide retailer and have their own stock. The only way to get the S2 from AT&T directly in my area is to buy from their online store.

I got my GS2 on monday (I ordered online) I right away noticed a dead pixel. I went into my local ATT store and they didnt have any GS2s in stock. They checked 3 or 4 other stores in the area and none of them had them in stock. The manager told me that they were no longer keeping them in stock because they are now pushing the skyrocket. She told me she thinks they were even asked to send the GS2s back.. So while the phone may not be at end of life ATT has decided to "forget" about the GS2 and push the skyrocket since they are pushing their new LTE network

Just my thoughts/experience on the subject
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mike21pr:
Sorry for posting another thread on this, I was reading the other topic posted here....

but since the thread was bumped again, let me ask. Does the SGS2 have more dev support than the SR? My main concern is being left behind too soon, and since the GS2 is closest to the OG, i think id get custom and official ICS before SR imo. plus i cant get over the crappy Snapdragon cpu it uses as well since im anal about those things and thats why i basically swore off htc androids because of it.

here is the kicker... i DO live in a LTE area haha, desicions, decisions...

Sent from my PI39100 using Board Express
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] graffixnyc:
I live in an LTE area (They just launched in NYC) and I chose the GS2 over the skyrocket for a few reasons

1. I had the bigger sprint GS2 and I actually prefer the 4.3 form factor

2. The CPU/GPU is better in the GS2

3. LTE is new and this is their first generation device I'd rather wait until it matures more (in handsets and network) than to jump on it now.

4. There is a lot more dev support for the GS2 and since it's so close to the International version it means we pretty much get whatever they get (just a tad bit after)

Now I did say I preferred the 4.3 form factor and I do, but after using the 4.52 sprint GS2 I kind of got use to it and the 4.3 felt tiny (even though it's really not THAT much smaller) so it took a little adjusting.

I was in the ATT store the other day when I was trying to exchange my GS2 with the dead pixel. I played with a SR and I can say you can definitely see a difference in snappiness when they are side by side. The Gs2 just seems more smooth and fluid. If I didn't have them side by side I prob wouldnt have noticed a difference but you most certainly notice a difference when they are side by side.

In the end for me the reasons to go with the GS2 outnumbered the reasons to go with the SR which the only reason I could think of is that it's LTE
