[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
Yeah, it makes zero sense. Google isn't "suspending" an update that never existed to begin with. They are surely working on 4.0.4 or whatever comes next and will release it as soon as it passes the QA tests.
[Nexus S General] caliban2:
Lol... that tin-pot provider is pretty big in France, which is a part of the not so small European market. And as far as I remember, us Europeans are the only ones so far who've got an official update. (Plus the American off-shoot, T-Mobile, of course).
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
It is also the only source of this rumor and has never been verified by any outside source. Therefore, I tend to believe it is nonsense. And it seems the initial report was inaccurate so it is hard to blame Google for information they didn't release that was not true.
[Nexus S General] HAKA:
Google must be doing something really big in the next update. Otherwise they wouldn't have delayed it for 3 months.

Or maybe Google devs are too much busy with 5.0 that they are hardly concerned with further updates on ICS.

Just wild guesses. Waiting for a surprise from Google.
[Nexus S General] donnieace:
My thoughts exactly. They must be cooking up something good.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Not that I want Google to rush or anything, but I must say ICS on my Nexus S (Tmobile) runs quite poorly. Things hiccup and lag a bit, and when returning to the home screen (especially from Chrome or games), the home screen icons can take upwards of 5+ seconds to load. It happens frequently, and is quite frustrating.

Don't get me wrong, I love ICS, but owning a Nexus device to get the latest update is slightly overrated if it means my year+ old phone can't run it well due to hardware limitations. Kind of makes the second year of owning this device less enjoyable.

I'm hoping an update will address this.
[Nexus S General] pegasolabs:
For not realising a bugfixed version of ICS or not releasing practically any version at all on some models. It's the first time that google experience phones will get update after the others...and the comments after mine seem not to disagree so much... :)
[Nexus S General] SupaDupaFly24:
How is something that was never officially planned be suspended??
[Nexus S General] pegasolabs:
It's a fact that we're almost in April... And today Samsung has started official rollout of ICS to SGS2

[Nexus S General] sperelli:
right man! :p
[Nexus S General] chushev:
That french site says "EN ATTENTE", which i think means PENDING and not SUSPENDED. Am I right about the translation? Got it from google translate :)
[Nexus S General] :
You (Gtranslate) are right sir.

In the comments section below Team Club SFR Android added " (...) la MAJ du Nexus S et du Samsung Galaxy Nexus vers Android 4.0.5 est retardée à une date encore inconnue. (...) " (12-03-2012 - 17h43) wich means " (...) Nexus S and Samsung Galaxy Nexus's update to Android 4.0.5 is delayed to an unknown date. (...) " wich means about nothing.
[Nexus S General] caliban2:
On the other hand: except for the launch of a new major version, when did Google ever give an ETA?

that french provider is the first I stumbled upon giving more or less exact dates on many phones, not just the nexus. Are they making those up as well? At least it seems to be a peek into the update path you get nowhere else.

PS:

I'm really wondering what happened to that 4.0.4-update on sprint... so it got leaked over a month ago, but THE google-dev said it's bugged, don't use it. At least on my 9023 (GSM) it's flawless and better than the official 4.0.3. So it seems like any bugs where in the 4g-specific areas. The initial french announcement for 4.0.5 in march was weeks ago. Looks like they decided to skip 4.0.4 on nexus s all together...?
[Nexus S General] DiRT_360:
why suspended? i hope 5.0 come to improve 4.0.3, cause there are maaaaany bugs to solve.
[Nexus S General] linuxxp:
This article says something different: h ttp://mobilesyrup.com/2012/02/06/galaxy-nexus-and-nexus-s-to-receive-ota-android-4-0-5-update-by-march/

on February 6, 2012
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
That is not even a fact.
[Nexus S General] leemarkin:
are we waiting for 4.0.5 or 5.0.4?....why it takes so long, google?
[Nexus S General] zadnica:
Not good :mad:
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
It's not good that Google is trying to update 4.x to be more stable before they push it to the Nexus devices? Or that they aren't doing like phone manufacturers and pushing out a buggy version of 4.0.3?
[Nexus S General] flibblesan:
So much fail in this thread. The 4.0.5 update is delayed.. pending. It hasn't been stopped or suspended.

The next OTA will be 4.0.5
[Nexus S General] renna1992:
source? ....
[Nexus S General] petrochemicals:
Isn't this something they should have done before they released the OTA and source in December? Fact of the matter is that Google is failing at every turn to make an OS that actually works well. On top of that they are ignoring all of their users questions and complaints, which just makes it all that much more insulting. How long are we expected to be beta testers for our $500 and up devices.
[Nexus S General] scrapperstoo:
I wonder if the problems they're working on are more legal than technical? If lawyers are involved, it's not too much of a stretch to think they might have insisted on keeping quiet until a way out of the patent conflict mess can be found?

Doesn't make the wait any less frustrating though.....
[Nexus S General] sperelli:
what's that? explain please...:cool:
[Nexus S General] HAKA:
off-topic:

where is kwiboo? does anyone else still remembers him? :rolleyes:
[Nexus S General] scrapperstoo:
Both Apple and Google seem to be quite busy trying to sue each other out of the market, for a range of alleged patent infringements.
[Nexus S General] caliban2:
don't think that's the reason. if any lawsuit would stop ICS from being rolled out alltogether, it would be all over the news (because it would be THE big win for apple/MS/oracle). also there wouldn't be any OEM-updates with 4.0.3, which are beginning to roll out now (samsung, htc).
[Nexus S General] ljordan2:
Of course I remember him:) He seems to have vanished. His rom+Franco kernel was great few months ago.
[Nexus S General] HAKA:
He was the first one to give us AOSP ICS. and that too fully working.
[Nexus S General] scrapperstoo:
I was thinking more along the lines of a pending case which the google-legals had judged to be probably unwinnable, but not yet actually lost.

That said, my level of legal expertise pretty much stops at "FFS - Don't get caught!" ;)
[Nexus S General] Aequilibrium:
According to pdamaster 4.0.5 should release today...
[Nexus S General] Andrew1998:
Today when in italy ? It's true the notice about the release about 4.0.5?
[Nexus S General] Aequilibrium:
No one knows :s
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
No, it's not true.
[Nexus S General] VaKo:
It's taking so long because they want to integrate Google+ into the entire system, every action you do, such as turning on wifi or opening Gmail, will now automatically update your Google+ feed. This is just the first step in transitioning every product to the Google+ brand, and will be the last update to the Android line of phones. Later this year what would have been Android 5 (Jellybean) will be launched as Google+ Phone with a full suite of Google+ applications like Mail+, Music+ and Play+. Or at least that's what Larry Page+ proposed.
[Nexus S General] fightingroost12:
sources?

or are u just crazy
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
They are just trolling I would assume.
[Nexus S General] challl88:
...realy funny discussion... :)
[Nexus S General] VaKo:
I'm taking the piss mate.
[Nexus S General] interpolate:
OK, so is 4.0.3 actually good enough to run then on the Nexus S? See if I have the image files and software. If the worst comes to the worst, will a factory reset will fix things.

My Bootloader is unlocked, however S is on and I'm not using root. It's not really path I want to go down to be honest.

I seen so many bad things said about the battery life with ICS 4.0.3, so it's out me off a bit.
[Nexus S General] madd0g:
Sarcasm, but the core of it is kinda true. Google puts all the efforts in the G+ ****, not Android.
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
I doubt the Android team and the Google+ app development team overlap.
[Nexus S General] madd0g:
Of course they don't. I'm just saying that G+ is the core focus now, not anything else, throughout all teams.
[Nexus S General] Bruce lee roy:
Makes sense since they are hell bent on seeing fb burn.

You without me is like Harold Melvin without the Blue Notes...
[Nexus S General] chessmaster W/nook:
I didn't read through the whole thread, but Android updates don't go out before they open up the source, the most recent is 4.0.3, so its no big deal.
[Nexus S General] Endriu90:
Just to let you know, my Nexus S (i9023) should still run GB 2.3.6...

I mean that 4.0.3 FOTA has never been pushed on my phone by Google (trust me, I really spammed that *#*#2432546#*#* code), and I always downloaded ICS versions "manually" using links on this site
[Nexus S General] Aequilibrium:
Tomorrow is 3 months since they released 4.0.3. Until now, no word from google. It's u n b e l i e v a b l e !
[Nexus S General] petrochemicals:
Still no ICS and it's been 3 months.

Four sites have written articles on it.

This is some grade A customer service all around. Do they really think ignoring this issue for so long is helping them in any way. How much longer till the big sites like Engadget, The Verge, or Gizmodo pick this story up?
[Nexus S General] android167:
I'm sorry.

I just got my Nexus S. And i don't know if we are talking about 4.0.5 for Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus or only ours Nexus S?
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
Honestly, my feelings toward the Nexus line has changed too. I can't help but feel Google's dropped the ball somewhat, not just with Nexus S updates, but with the Galaxy Nexus release on Verizon. With the GN, the Nexus line has either been changed, or we've been mislead this entire time prior.

Anyway, this is a good article,a nd most of my sentiments are the same: http://androidandme.com/2012/03/opi...upport-why-should-i-buy-a-nexus-device-again/

[Nexus S General] caliban2:
Yeah well, normally engadget is one of the better sources. But in this specific case? As long as there's no official communication "ics-support dropped on nexus s" from Google, one is always on the safe side saying "coming in a few weeks".

Fact is:

Google's communication blows big time. And as long as I'm on it, support does as well. It's non-existant.
[Nexus S General] petrochemicals:
Google's lack of support and customer service is the real issue here. There has been a thread on their help forums for months asking to be able to delete devices and apps from our user accounts. Not being able to do this is even in violation of Google's new privacy policy "Whenever you use our services, we aim to provide you with access to your personal information. If that information is wrong, we strive to give you ways to update it quickly or to delete it – unless we have to keep that information for legitimate business or legal purposes." Before it was an inconvenience, but now with the Play Store update it is a real problem. With the Play Store update to 3.5.15 your "my apps" list is broken into two parts. Installed and All. Problem being that the all list is every single app I ever installed on any device and ROM, EVER. My list is like 400 apps long. Most don't even work on my device or are used by my device. On top of that I have to dig through this list of 400 apps to find my purchased apps.

This is just one small example on how Google refuses to help in any way with their customers problems. Imagine how much worse it is going to get if they do not change.
[Nexus S General] caliban2:
lol, that's exactly the same hazzle i had with google-support. old apps from old devices and even worse: on my prior device i used the option to backup my settings etc to my account. whenever i enable that feature on my nexus, the old stuff get's pushed.

google market support kept telling me to contact samsung... after i kept asking why the hell samsung-support should have access to my google-account, they just said nothing can be deleted from one's account, but that they can understand my problem. (personally, i don't give a damn if they understand - doesn't change anything)
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
Wait, I thought 4.0.5 was suspended? As in it was never going to happen. lol at some of these posters. I tend to trust Engadget better than most other sources, so I feel sure they are not blowing smoke.
[Nexus S General] caliban2:
"Suspended" as in "on hold"...

now please go to the nearest mirror and lol at the person you see in it.
[Nexus S General] bozzykid:
Just read the articles some of the posters spammed in this thread (and about 100 threads on Google's Support forum). The articles talk about how the NS 4G is never going to get ICS and the world is coming to an end. That is what the lol is for.
[Nexus S General] sperelli:
how to say it better?!? :D:D

that's it: Android 8598.0!

:rolleyes:
[Nexus S General] Nuclear_Geko:
I'm quite afraid about this delayed deploying with rumors of an Android 5.0 comin' this summer.

I mean: 5.0 would be fine, it's ok, but doesn't seem to me that all those minor releases in branch 4.0.X, including the 4.0.5, were promptly release.

Maybe they should slow down the production cycle in favour of a solid developing cycle.

I'm a Nexus S owner and I trust the guys here in XDA but not the Google's ones :D To me getting the custom cooked ROM was the only way to have ICS 4... plus seems to me that the devs here are working very hard and putting together a lot of effort that translates directly in good ROMS most of the time :)
[Nexus S General] flapane:
It's not gonna happen.

Android, Mozilla, Apple et al: we've seen how releasing a "NEW" and possibly poorly tested software has become a standard in the recent consumer IT industry. The "higer" version number, the better. Average user will be impressed by that number.
[Nexus S General] renna1992:
seriously?

a thread 2 months old?
[Nexus S General] flapane:
so what?

Do you think a "seriously? a thread 2 months old?" added anything valuable to the thread?
[Nexus S General] mzalan:
It seems like we'll get the update, just later. The french site says 4.0.5 was suspended for the Galaxy Nexus as well, which is pretty much the latest in the Nexus series.

It says here that it's due to some sort of battery problem we're having.

Now that they mention it, my Nexus does seem to be chewing through stored charge a tad faster than before, although I only notice it now that re-upgraded to 4.0.4
[Nexus S General] Chlorophyll:

Phone: Live with walkman

For a while i have wanted to unlock my bootloader but i cant.

I have found a thread where you can unlock your phone using the test point method.

Using this tutorial - HERE

I have some questions

Can i use this method if unlocking the bootloader is not allowed?

Is there such thing as bricking? If i do it wrong will it brick my phone?

Will it effect my INSURANCE (not warranty)?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
I have no experience over unlocking via test point method, so I am unable to help with it.

There is no such thing as bricking, although you can get your phone bricked, if you try to update your phone firmware over the air(3G or WiFi), while having unlocked bootloader.

But don't worry about that, chance to make it completely bricked is quite low, if you know, what you are doing.

About the insurance, check your contract details, can't help with that.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] ginryu:
About the bootloader:

The s1tool method might work even if the phone is branded but if you want to unlock the boot loader to flash custom kernels and roms you will need to enter to fast boot mode which is disabled in all the branded phones that I know of, you can try to enter the phone in fastboot mode turning it of and connecting the USB cable to the PC and the phone holding down the volume up key, if the notification led turn on blue then you can flash custom kernels and rooms once the bootloader is unlocked if not then you will need to pay to unlock it if that is what you want.

About the brick and the insurance the answer was given in the previous post.

Cheers!!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Jhawsh:
If i get unlocked will it also allow me to unlock the bootloader?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
After some searching.

If your phone has SIM-lock(locked to a specific network), you cannot unlock the bootloader. The only way currently is to pay some money and it will remove SIM-lock and unlock bootloader also.

Can't remember the provider exactly.

BY THE WAY I installed ChainFire 3D and then i could download all the files needed but the game is still not running. After the new game intro video the game's crashed so I don't have any clue that we gonna play that or not. I'm looking for a solution that might help us to play with it. Same goes for Deadspace tho i could play with it once already with a nice fps but after the 2nd playing it becomes laggy and ish sooo... But as soon as i have any ideas, i'll let you know :)

Splinter cell HD, Nova HD, Asphalt HD, League of Evil, Sandstorm, Subway Surfers(after recent updates i can't play), Dungeon Hunter HD AND MANY MORE.

Shadow gun.. I downloaded hte 250mb it asked via wi-fi. Although it said 250mb it downloaded 470mb!

I ran it with Chainfire 3D and after selecting play it just crashed :/

I'm running CM7.2.4e. Using minimod's open recovery with which i can overclock it and it comes with supercharger kit.

Phone running at 1150 mhz and supercharged for gaming. And of course i use Chainfire 3D :)

How do i run it lag free? First i go to running services and stop everything that is running except settings. I get around 90MB free ram :)

I'm happy with my MILESTONE :D

Share with some tips and tricks if you have some :)

running at 125-700mhz and about 100m ram available

steel droid v11.0 removed/frozen some sys apps

swapping 64m on /data swappiness tune to 100

in my case, sc doesnt improve performance a bit and over 700mhz doesnt help in addition to drain battery quickly and get chip hot

i think kernel is the key
