Glad this thread was here for you to vent your dislike of a feature.. Hope you feel better.

Anyway, glad I am not alone in seeing a huge lag in the GPS. If I am tagging the location of a picture, I'll be damned, but I get the same thing - last known location was the previous town or yep.. Work.

Looks like unless I keep GPS alive at all times, it never locks or gives me the correct ballpark to even search for my location by name.

Hello, im new here, i've tried to unlock the bootloader of my atrix 4g ftom at&t on gb 2.3.6 4.5.151 with the sbf 4547-fix-try2.sbf, then my atrix got stuck at screen

with just a bunch of options fastboot, rsd mode etc, and error reads Failed to booot 0x1000 os not found. Then i've tried to fix it with Moto-FB Stock Restore.bat but everything failed :( then tried to unlock again with zomgunlock-lite.sbf and atrix showed the red logo M then shut down and rsd got stuck at 99% and my phone on the balack screen. Now the atrix wont turn on, im not even able to get rsd mode or fastboot mode, is not even reconized by my pc :( just the green led when i plug it in with no battery, with battery in, not even the green led its showing. What can i do? its my atrix dead? i've just bought it this monday :( ...

update.. I've found this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1182871 now i know too late it has a solution before i screw it.

When i do vol up + put battery in + connect usb i got a green led with battery but still dont show on pc..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lauterm:
Your battery may just be too dead for it to turn on or charge. Try finding an external battery charger to put your battery in. AT&T stores can supposedly charge it for you, or you can buy a charger cheaply on ebay like http://www.ebay.com/itm/US-USB-Sync-Dock-Battery-Charger-Motorola-Atrix-4G-/250868490262

I'm not sure this will fix your phone, but it's worth a shot.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xda<3:
I saw some articles on the internet. (mostly rumours) that ICS 4.0.5 would be released for the Nexus S i9020a (for all variants for that matter). Does anyone have any more knowledge on this?

Anyways, so i guess i'm unrooting and returning to stock so that I can get the OTA update. Hopefully it will be out this month :D

EDIT:

Any i9020a users who have received the 4.0.4 update either in the united states (AT&T) or in canada (fido/rogers) please post!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rasengan82:
I wish man... but I gotta say this silence from Google is just plain annoying. Yes, I can root and install a ROM (which I already did, running BuglessBeast!) But to ignore every single Thread in their mobile forums regarding the OTA is the worst Customer Support ever.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xda<3:
I feel yaa! I hate it. I was running BugglessBeast too but just returned it to stock so that I can get the OTA update. Just being safe ;) I'll be patient this month. If it doesn't come out by this month I'll root again and run bugless beast. There's something about official updates that makes me wanna have em over custom roms. Don't know what it is lol :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rasengan82:
Yup, I am sure I will get the Stock OTA from Google and then flash back to BuglessBeast or CM9 again LOL.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xda<3:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rasengan82:
Me too, I am just following GoogleNexus from Twitter.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xda<3:
They hardly ever update their status. I wish they could tell us at what stage they're in for the ICS OTA update or at least tell us if we will be getting it or not. I would rather know that I'm not getting the ICS update rather than being left on the edge of my seat for monthsss.. It's been eternity ughh

EDIT: Couldn't stand being on gingerbread. I missed all the features of ICS (especially panorama shot ) ;) So I rooted and went back to the bugless beast rom. LOOOL FTW
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KID ANDROID:
I seen a chart of ICS UPDATE release dates somewhere that had NEXUS S receiving the update in MARCH and that's all I've been able to find so I'm really hoping its correct (balls crossed) Have any other PHONES received the update as of yet????? If not then that's a real good sign we're still gonna get it. -KID ANDROID

Ain't that the truth!
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csrxds:
All articles about 4.0.5 are related to the same french carrier website (SFR). And more especially the dedicated to Android part of the support website.

http://android.sfr.fr/maj-optimisez-votre-mobile-android-mettez-le-a-jour-previsions-7

As a french native speaker, I've been through the page and the comment section below.

On the top of the page you can see a picture according to wich the 4.0.5 OTA is comming to both Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S in march.

Of course, people are asking for a more accurate release date in the comment section wich SFR of course won't provide : still they seem to confirm the 4.0.5 update in March.

"ICS est prévu pour Mars pour le Nexus S !"

=

"ICS is planned for March for the Nexus S !"

(posted by "Team Club SFR Android" on 2012-02-08)

Knowing the fact that Nexus's updates usually come directly from Google (*), we may expect the OTA before the end of the month.

Though, I believe most of the SFR Nexus S are the i9023 (almost the same, screen appart as the i9020T if I'm not mistaken) as this is the most common variant in Europe (this is in fact the one I bought from France myself, living in a very near country).

(*) wich they confirm also in the comment section :

"En effet le Galaxy Nexus reçoit la MAJ par Google !

SFR valide le soft mais c’est bien Google qui se charge de la diffusion."

=

"Indeed the Galaxy Nexus receives the update from Google !

SFR approves the soft(ware) but it's Google who takes care of the diffusion."

(posted by "Team Club SFR Android" on 2012-02-08)

Cheers.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xda<3:
Oh man.. Does that mean that there might not be an update for the i9020a. That's not fair at all most Nexus S are already updated to ICS except for the i9020a which is still on 2.3.6.... some even on 2.3.4 :( NOT FAIR GOOGLE... NOT FAIR
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csrxds:
At this point, there is no clue wether the i9020a will or won't get the update. All I can say is that SFR wich seems to be the only source of all this articles talking about the upcoming 4.0.5 update is I think mostly (I guess only) using i9023 variant of the NS. As they will only approve the update Google will release for their SFR variant (i9023), it's impossible to tell wich variants the update will target. My point is they are talking about the i9023 on their website but still the update could be sent to all NS variants directly from Google. In fact SFR is really almost nothing in the update process. They are just (as a carrier company) I guess somehow more informed about the upcoming update. They seem to confirm March for the update but refuse/can't (it depends on the dev progress and will to release the update, not on them) to give a more accurate date as I stated in my previous comment.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bozzykid:
As JBQ noted yesterday on Twitter, 4.0.4 isn't even done:

He also said yesterday:

So, afaik, this "report" is totally false. They aren't even done with 4.0.4. When it is done, then they will deal with pushing out OTAs.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cowst:
I wonder why people with gingerbread (I can only assumed they did not root because of warranty) care about 4.0.5 when they don't even have 4 at all, or why people with rooted Nexus S care to unroot when they can probably get a better custom ROM than 4.x stock can offer...
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xda<3:
Dude... stock is the S**t! Nothing beats stock. Not even custom ROMs. Sure, Custom ROMs may be faster etc. But official is official and you can't beat official.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cowst:
i am open to agree with you, but i would like to hear a reason, you are just telling me that something is better because it is better, it sounds like Apple marketing :D
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mahanddeem:
I agree with the official is better , at the end it's a Google system and when there's a problem it's you and all the community in the same boat.rather than affected by a system tweaked in somebody's bedroom.Also the privacy issue would be a concern in a "third party" system...

So yes , official is official..
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xda<3:

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] continuum51:
IMO this official is official thing only applies to devices recently released. Example, for galaxy nexus, they will be working their buts off to make it good, so it sells, but for nexus s I don't think they care anymore.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rasengan82:
According to Twitter, JBQ is saying there are still bugs in 4.0.4 (they are still working on it). Sounds like issues in the kernel and telephony. I'm wondering if this telephony issue is present in 4.0.3 and affecting all current ROMs....

So for anybody waiting for official OTA...I doubt it's coming out this month. Not even sure if it's coming out next month either...

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xda<3:
This is ridonculous! I want the official ics. Why can't they just release it for heaven sakes. Pete Alfonso was able to release it, and it has no battery drain. I don't understand why such a massive company can't release this update. Are they just trying to piss us off? Or do they want the Galaxy Nexus to receive all the updates so it outshines the Nexus S. The fact that google keeps ignoring all our threads about the update shows that they don't care about their customers. They get their customers and leave them in the dust. It will be the same for the Galaxy Nexus users in the future. Once the new android comes out and a Nexus "whatever", the Galaxy Nexus will be history.

EF GOOGLE!

That is all.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cowst:
well, some bedroom seems to be pretty good for developing :)

at least according to this (I asked to benchmark also stock so we could have comparison):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1481856

and the fact that nexus s is stuck with stock 4.0.3 makes me think that Google is not always the boat you want to be on :)

privacy concerns can be legit, but in theory the community should be able to check, especially open source projects.

They can't possibly be that far behind on releasing ICS to the Nexus S when it's out on the Galaxy nexus, the Transformer and Transformer Prime and coming on a slew of HTC and Samsung handsets this month and next.

I am definitely frustrated... I bought a nexus s in part to have a real "AOSP" type phone and in part to get my hands on ICS, since the Captivate will never see it outside of custom ROM's/

Don't get me wrong, I've gone the custom ROM route before, but at this point I don't have time to tinker as much as I'd like :)

Everyone there with i9020a seem to be complaining they didn't get it. *sad face* :(

you need clockworkmod to flash it, and this means you have to unlock your bootloader first.

why this rom works? while it is close to stock, it is not a real stock-zip. it doesn't contain bootloader, radio and recovery. so those three stay untouched on your 9020a. further on it's deodexed and rooted - not really stock, right? :p
