I tried clearing the google framework & the *#*' malarkey a few times yesterday. It didn't make a blind bit of difference. Given that some people do it once & get the update, others do it 10 times & get the update, others do it 20 times & never get the update, I don't think it actually works. I think people are gradually getting it OTA, and for those who are continually hitting update, it will eventually coincide with them getting it!

I actually went to the effort of backing up, unlocking my bootloader & restoring so that I could so a manual update through CWM. Then about 2 hours after restoring my data, and before I'd had a chance to do it manually, I got the update OTA. The phone had checked online several times in between restoring & getting the update, so I don't think the wipe/restore had anything to do with it.
[Nexus S General] TubbyHamster:
After reading reports on here I went into settings and update, there the update was listed but would only download on WiFi.

I didn't use any codes or wipe cache etc. :)
[Nexus S General] qetuol:
dont forget too reboot!! for me it worked. also, after rebooting, it immediatelly prompted to reboot and i rebooted to ICS. it was strane, cuz previously nothing was downloaded... maybe ICS was downloaded before secretly?
[Nexus S General] Prototypeuk:
Just did the clear data *#*#checking#*#* about 5 times and got the update.

Bought from CPW in December 2010 manually updated to 4.0.3 Christmas 2011 I'm on T-mobile in the UK. Was connected to Wifi when I did this.

Seem to come through when I put the battery on charge, might be worth a try :confused:
[Nexus S General] boonkoh:
I have 4.0.3 on my Nexus S. Originally bought in the US in Best Buy, T-Mobile network. Currently on GiffGaff in the UK.

Just checked-in and looked for updates, but nothing yet.....
[Nexus S General] axellink:
Can confirm that I got the update without doing the Google service wipe. Cpw nexus bought in the UK
[Nexus S General] st0nec01d:
Still waiting for OTA...... :banghead:
[Nexus S General] seaempty:
Those getting the update, have you got an i9020 or i9023? I have an i9023, but haven't had the update yet. Just wondering if it's being rolled out to i9020s first (as they seemed to do for the 4.0.3 update).
[Nexus S General] st0nec01d:
I've got an i9020 and still no update so not sure about that theory sadly.
[Nexus S General] draugaz:
Got the update for i9023 yesterday in Germany. Just went to settings > about > system updates and said "check now".
[Nexus S General] murfi:
i'm a german user, have a i9023 and had 2.3.6

got the update yesterday around 9pm. not sure if removing framework-data and dialing checkin helped, considering how many german users got the update yesterday evening.
[Nexus S General] warr3n:
Have any UK Vodafone users received the update yet?
[Nexus S General] joncfc:
yeah im on vodafone and i did yesterday
[Nexus S General] Warren_Orange:
Still waiting :confused::confused:

Orange UK here.
[Nexus S General] Fryingsheep:
Still showing as "currently up to date here" with 4.0.3 installed.

What are the chances of getting the OTA with Virgin? Since I remember with the Wildfire, I was unable to recieve the update for 2.2 until the day they changed my contract to the one I agreed for the wildfire (two months after purchase)

Oh and does clearing the framework then cause error 921 and error 941 within the play store for updating apps since that is what I am now getting after attempting that method mentioned, lovely.
[Nexus S General] boonkoh:
Did the clear Google Services cache, and after like 4-5 times I was finally offered the OTA update! So it does somewhat work...

FYI I was on 4.0.3 before, Nexus S bought from Best Buy in the States within the first month of release, and on the GiffGaff network in the UK.
[Nexus S General] Fryingsheep:
heh, you are lucky, i've been trying for the best part of an hour, even with that clearing of google services (which I have only just fixed the play store errors it causes) and still nothing.

Forgot to mention earlier, mines uk bought CPW model from December also, manually updated to 4.0.3
[Nexus S General] chicken-royal:
Before I got the Nexus S I had a Wildfire. Got it Sim-free/unlocked and used it with Virgin PAYG. Still got the 2.2 update OTA after HTC announced it. So don't expect any issues getting 4.0.4 OTA.
[Nexus S General] sonu27:
I just checked now, haven't got it. :(

Soon...

[update] http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/05/gsm-galaxy-nexus-signal-problem-issue-android-4-0-4/
[Nexus S General] Fryingsheep:
That sounds fine. The Wildfire I did have was a Virgin Mobile branded one so that maybe why it couldn't be released to me until the contract changed status.
[Nexus S General] Warren_Orange:
Your Wildfire would have been running a virgin tweaked Android os that comes directly from the carrier. With our Nexus's our updates come directly from Google so it shouldn't matter what carrier we are on. We should all get the updates at roughly the same timescale.

That's the theory anyway :(
[Nexus S General] ho666es:
just got it here in Belfast, on Virgin and wifi from 4.03, phone is optimising applications as I type. Love the updating animation.
[Nexus S General] Warren_Orange:
Just got the update about 20 minutes ago :)

Orange stock 4.0.3. CPW bought in Dec 2011.

First impressions are its a lot snappier.
[Nexus S General] st0nec01d:
Just got update and finished installing, yay. :D

Bought from CPW on boxing day, simfree with a O2 PAYGO simcard

Not had a chance to test out for performance etc yet, currently at work :(
[Nexus S General] malarcy:
Me too - stock 2.3.6 (manual flash from 2.3.1) bought from CPW boxing day. TMOB UK contract - will install in the morning (when it's charged)
[Nexus S General] rasaf:
just got the update in austria while reading this thread :D

4.0.3 ->4.0.4 installing ... finished

curious if this fixes my issues with BT on the MW600.
[Nexus S General] ciaran853:
my dad received the update today on vodafone from 4.0.3.

i am still waiting on O2.
[Nexus S General] chapman2109:
For anybody that's on 2.3.6 I made a note of the link to the update file before I updated:

hxxp://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespo/fL9fwa99.zip

I have the sim free i9020 which I believe they all are here in the UK :)
[Nexus S General] Fryingsheep:
Okays, the update came through for me this evening :)

Was spooky, I had the notify appear within a minute of connecting to the wifi.

But all is good with it :)
[Nexus S General] samkol18:
Have a i9020 simfree. Was on 2.3.6 rooted, boot loader unlocked, stock rom . Received the update on 6th April. Runs well...:)
[Nexus S General] ciaran853:
Finally!

just got my update from 4.0.3 on o2.

hoping all of the problems i have been having are solved!
[Nexus S General] seaempty:
Just got the update - from 4.0.3 (manually updated) sim-free i9023 on O2.
[Nexus S General] gw1435:
4.03 updated to 4.04 OTA Vodafone UK

Just received update from 4.03 to 4.04 OTA (WIFI) after repeated system update checks, finally got it after 'checkin suceeded'.

9020T bought in UK from CPW manual updated to 4.03 from 2.3.?

Only just updated all working okay, haven't noticed any really change, butis a bit snappy in operation. Already love ICS
[Nexus S General] alexcinci:
Im not in UK and bought i9020T in USA and no ICS via OTA.

I think this OTA (4.0.4) is kind of faulty... its taking too long!
[Nexus S General] evcz:
Italy, i9023 bought from Vodafone got 4.0.4

Previously was still on gingerbread...this is the first ics update coming to this specific phone :-)
[Nexus S General] corh5:
I received my OTA update Friday evening, on Orange upgraded from 2.3.6.

Upgrade went ok but ICS was running very slow. None of my home widgets including bbc, clock, twitter, sky sports news or weather would refresh automatically, even clicking manual refresh did not work. Only time they would refresh would be if I rebooted my phone.

Tried uninstalling apps, rebooting phone etc, nothing seemed to work, in the end forced to do a factory reset of phone and wiped SD card for good measure.

All seems fine now fingers crossed and ICS running a lot faster.

Only broken app found so far is Sky Go, neither the test version of modified versions work now.
[Nexus S General] alexcinci:
I gave up waiting and simply tried the method describe here:

[Nexus S General] ho666es:
getting errors in play store myself :/ did you manage to resolve?
[Nexus S General] domino316:
Arrived today

Been running 4.0.3 for a while, 4.0.4 update notification came through yesterday (10th) around 7pm...straight on (with 3 lol...yes I know but unlimited and tethering can't argue really)
[Nexus S General] ragingredbull:
Wife was updated to 4.03 a while back and has not stopped *****ing about it being full of crap. Got the update last night for 4.04 so hopefully that fixes a lot.of the bugs she had. I will report back in a couple of days with the results(i am on my way to hospital to become a father for the first time:)
[Nexus S General] sjtscott:
My 4.0.4 OTA update came through today automatically.

Was on previously OTA'd 4.0.3 on O2 with Sim free Nexus S i9020a from CPW bought in Dec 2010 when they first came out.

Downloaded the update automatically via 3G data connection while I was at work today, I left the update till I was home as I need my phone to work. Updated without issue.

I can see the auto brightness problem is fixed.. just charging to full now and then will test to see if the battery issue is now resolved!

Wow, can't beat this deal!!!

[Eee Pad Transformer General] asdfuogh:
Is 512MB RAM enough for ICS? My brother is looking for a cheap e-reader, I might ask him to look at this if it is good enough..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mrevankyle:
Ya 512 is fine runs fine on phones with that much atleast
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
I actually ordered one (couldn't resist) - should have it in 4-6 days - I'll report my thoughts on it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] will8578:
dont blame you, it looks really smart
[Eee Pad Transformer General] flindil:
I had to order one too, My transformer has been stepped on a couple times and glitches out a lot, I've been using it as a receiver with my baby monitor but its unreliable. Hopefully this little guy works out.. thanks for the link btw thats a really good deal for an ICS tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
They also have white models on that site too, in case you want a white tablet...

Also - I heard that both colors sell out very fast though (just came back in stock), so if you want one, better grab it quick!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Rumbleweed:
Did you see

Display Technology	LCD

Max Resolution	800x480

No GPS
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
I did see that - not an issue for me - don't use or need GPS at all. And for a 7" tablet, 800x480 is fine with me (I have a few 7" tablets at that resolution as they are fine).

Geez, what do you want for $110?!?!?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] a.mcdear:
Eww, 480x800 is ****ty on a 7" screen...

I'll pass on this... especially with a nexus tablet coming soon for only $40 more and it supposedly has twice the memory, twice the cores, newer architecture CPU, and 1280x800 resolution.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] uberNoobZA:
512k is ok for ics but it will be a little slow. My other tablet is an Archos 80 G9 16GB Turbo with 512kb and it cab struggle a little. As long as you keep your multitasking to a minimum, and dont have too many widgets on home screen, it should be ok.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] b1lk1:
MY wife also has the Archos 80 G9 Turbo and it has no issues at all with ICS. I don't think she even understands the concept of multi-tasking and I deleted most widgets since she has no use for them anyways.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Goatshocker:
I own a Novo 7 Basic with basically the same features (except it runs MIPS), and ICS is quite a lot slower with 512MB RAM compared to 1024MB. Its really noticable.

If it was me, Id rather buy an Ainol ELF (or Auroa, hard to get though). 1024x600 res compared to 800x480...

I dont know the price in US$, but they arent much more expensive than the one OP linked.

Of course, if youre in need of 3G, the one in OP is better.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Djhg2000:
ICS with that music player and keyboard?

Doubt it, but we'll see once they're shipped.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
So you think they aree straight up lying in the description??? I would think that there is a better chance that he photos are just old or "faked'....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] asdfuogh:
512 on a phone isn't the same as on a tablet.. (the size makes a difference in processing power right?)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mrevankyle:
No the size does not the resolution does. and considering the res is 480x800 which is the same as the original galaxy s i do not think it will be a problem
[Eee Pad Transformer General] horndroid:
If anyone is wondering, this Hyundai brand is NOT the same Korean company that makes cars and electronics. It's a Chinese knock off.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] a.mcdear:
It could be the MIPS cpu... ICS seems relatively snappy on the Kindle Fire which has only 512MB but also a much faster cpu.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] stereoactivo:
Hi, when did you read about it?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Goatshocker:
Actually, in terms of raw performance, the MIPS is very fast. ICS is relatively fast on it. Just not as fast as any device with 1024MB ram.

AND! It plays 1080p high-encoded mkv's natively without stutter!

Take that Tegra2! ... Drawback is no other player than the stock works properly due to lack of codecs from the devs, and the stock player doesnt format the subtitles correctly (It prints \n instead of making it a new line, if it wasnt for that Id use it as a media center).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] typci:
It's only $80 in China, including shipping within China.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] jadesse:
A micro SD slot would be nice.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] typci:
It has a microSD slot. Supports up to 32GB.

http://i2.sinaimg.cn/IT/cr/2012/0203/197733570.jpg

Specs don't look too bad:

http://pic.yupoo.com/user123321/BJxom6WV/Md519.jpg

Half Chinese, half English, but you can make out all the important stuff.

7 hour battery life, and 7 day standby time.

ARM Cortex 8 CPU, ARM Mali-400 GPU.

I see conflicting reports of CPU speed. The Chinese spec sheet says 1 GHz, and will self overclock to 1.2GHz. But the advertisement says 1.5 GHz

Also, the auctions say it is a Korean tablet.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jadesse:
Thanks, the specs in the original link don't mention an SD Card. I might have to pick one now.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rdubs628:
Wow that does look like quite a nice device. Can't wait to hear your thoughts. Although I will say that the keyboard dock for the Transformer is what really sold me. We get the battery life than most tablets.

The processor said 1.5GHz. It's just a single core right? Or is it a dual core?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] timrock:
Did anyone get theirs yet?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
Nope - still waiting... hopefully on Mon or Tue...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Eddie Bombay:
Nice ordered a few of them.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Hd04:
It says it is 3g... any idea what US carriers you could use it on?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] hshoem1:
AT&T and T-Mobile
[Eee Pad Transformer General] horndroid:
I really don't care either way but so people don't buy this with wrong expectations, THIS IS NOT A KOREAN TABLET.

http://www.hyundai-digital.cn <-- This is the Chinese company that makes these tablets.

They have no association with the Korean company Hyundai.

2 different companies.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] morell2:
this is better than

http://www.pandawill.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=D70W

or buy aurora II or I
[Eee Pad Transformer General] typci:
Not trying to defend the company or tablet, but this is from the website you posted:

现代集团是韩国最大的工业巨子。现代IT有限公司的前身现代电子一直是现代集团的主力事业群，

The Hyundai Group is Korea's largest industrial giant. Modern IT Co., Ltd., the predecessor of modern electronic Hyundai Group's main business group,

现代IT有限公司于2008年10月在中国天津设立代表处，配合中国总代理商推广真正的品质优秀的高性价比

Modern IT Co., Ltd. established a representative office in Tianjin, China in October 2008, with the general agent in China to promote the real good quality cost-effective

The company is a subsidy of the Korean Hyundai company. China and Korea have a lot of partnerships like this, especially in the electronics, cosmetics, and fashion industry. The Chinese people like the Korean name brands,products, and fashion. So a rich Chinese person will invest in the Korean company to get a subsidy opened in China. I have many friends here in China who are affiliated with such companies.

What does this mean for the quality of the tablet? Nothing. Practically everything is made in China and quality all depends on who is in charge. I've been in China for 2 years now, and never heard of Hyundai electronics. I really should go down the street to the computer mall and try a display model.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] asdfuogh:
People in China really like brand name things and expensive things (the more expensive, the more prestigious).. or so my postdoc mentor told me. Haha.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Woody:
Keep us posted. I showed this to my wife the other day and she is ready to pull the trigger.

Just need to know if it is a "get what you paid for" type thing or if this one slips upder the radar as a good product.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Christian Troy:
Allwinner a10 is a good soc. So month ago I've bought a 9.7'' tablet (a momo11 bird rebrand) for just 169 euro and two years of Italian warranty.

I'm really pleased, it has a great ips display, excellent video playback... IMHO this allwinner are worth the money
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
Should arrive tomorrow - I'll post my thoughts ASAP - I also happen to have an eLocity A7 and a Nextbook 7 Premium here to to kind of compare it against.

I paid $129 for the Nextbook - it's decent, but Android 2.3 (I think) - kinda cheap, no camera, no mic, no GPS, 1Ghz processor, 512MB RAM, 4GB storage...

It'll be interesting to compare it to the Nextbook.....

The eLocity is actually a Tegra 2 device, but no multitouch (ouch!)... Again, Android 2.3, I think... Dead product...

Both have the same screen resolution as the Hyundai....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jadesse:
Both would require a slot for a sim card.

I doubt you would be able to use it on VZW or Sprints network legally anyway.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] typci:
It's even worse than your postdoc mentor tells you. My friend is trying to start a wine importing company here in China. By Chinese standards the quality of the wine is based on the price, since the Chinese know next to nothing about wines. The result is that the average markup on a bottle of wine is 300%, where in the USA it is about 30-50%. They do this just so people will buy the wine, because if it is cheap, they won't buy it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] typci:
Went down to computer store and asked about the Hyundai A7. The couple of people I talked to didn't have one. I think if I had spent more time, I would have found one. Unfortunately, i got there 15 mins before it closed.

What I did find was the Hyundai H900, a 8" higher end model from last year. Tried some movies, angry birds, PDF, and such. What I will say about the H900 was that it was ugly and looked kinda cheap because of the design. However, it didn't feel cheap, and felt pretty sturdy. It played games and movies fine, however the screen quality wasn't that great. It is 1024*768 on 8", but you could see the column's of pixels without really looking for them. I wouldn't recommend it for reading books. Everything else about the tablet was of satisfactory quality or above. The screen kinda sucked. This is for a tablet that costs twice as much as the A7. Based on what I saw, I'm guessing the A7 wont have that great of a screen either.

Also after seeing the Hyundai logo, I realized I have seen Hyundai products before in China.

Also, there are 3 versions of the A7:

A7:http://www.hyundai-digital.cn/Products.asp?ClassID=50&SubClassID=64

A7ART:http://www.hyundai-digital.cn/ShowProduct.asp?ID=144

A7HD:http://www.hyundai-digital.cn/ShowProduct.asp?ID=145

The A7 and the ART are the same price, but the ART seems to have a slower CPU. The HD actually looks pretty good for the price, 50% more than the A7, but with 1GB of ram and and higher resolution screen.

Did you try changing the newline format do unix-style? Maybe it works...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] b1n4ry:
anyone know if it has a Spanish language pack... the description doesn't say it but i see it supports Portuguese was going to buy it for my gf but no spanish is a deal breaker for me :confused:
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ellingsoc:
Has anyone got one of these yet I wonder how these things run
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
I did receive mine yesterday... However, I need to mess with it for a few hours before I can report anything back.

I'll post something after work today....
[Eee Pad Transformer General] Ellingsoc:
Sounds good I may go for the HD one what are your first impressions of the device
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jtrosky:
Here are some of my initial thoughts.....

Cons:

- Any pressure put on back of the case causes distortion on the screen (like when you press on an LCD screen). Can be annoying.

- Black case is very cheap looking - flat black - like unpainted black... WHite would problaby look better...

- Actual speed of device is 1.0Ghz!! The 1.5Ghz is just a spec - the HIGHEST anyone can go is 1.25Ghz... I can only go to 1.2Ghz...

- Internal memory in partitioned wierd - only 1gb for apps, and like 6gb as an "SD card". Then you have an External SD card for the MicroSD...

- No bluetooth

- Email will not stay active in standby, even if wifi set to stay on all of the time... If I leave pandora playing, email continues to work while screen is off... Strange...

- Low-resolution screen (800x480). Can notice with some of the smaller ICS fonts.

Pros:

- Very small and lightweight!

- Screen is very responsive to touch

- Decent speakers that are prett loud.

- Video capabilities - this thing plays everything I throw at it - HD, HD w/DTS, .avi, etc. Great for videos.

- MIcro-HDMI out (at full HD resolution) - haven't tried it yet though.

- Ethernet via/USB (haven't tried it yet).

- Ice Cream Sandwhich!

- Price!

If I could get email to remain active, I'd be a happy camper (have similar issue with eLocity A7 and NExtbook - both turn off wifi when in standby - no option). I have an option for wifi on the Hyundai and it seems to stay active (no wait time to reconnect when turning back on), buy yet I will NOT get notified of new emails until I turn it back ok...

So - there my preliminary thoughts.. Not great for reading for long periods, great for videos and games (not ALL games work properly with the orientation control though)....

Is it worth $110 - yes, I think so. Not the fatest (what BS that they advertise it at 1.5Ghz!!), but certainly usable-- i was surprised at how good most games ran - even things like Pinball Arcade was perfect on this device...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] horndroid:
I don't think this junk is worth $110 but that's just me. Even if I got it for free, i would not use it.
