Keep in mind that the Nexus 7 runs in a hybrid UI. It looks like phone mode on the surface, but the notification curtain doesn't fill the whole screen like phone mode, and apps run in tablet configuration. It's my understanding that in the Jelly Bean source code, there are now three possible UI configurations: standard phone mode (for smaller screens), hybrid mode (for 7- to 8-inch tablets), and then full tablet configuration (for 10" and larger screens). It's all based on the build's configured DPI value.

It's for this reason that a lot of people believe that the Nexus 7 wasn't really intended to be the Motorola Xoom's replacement in the world of Google Experience Devices as originally thought. The Nexus 7 is the only GED that showcases Android in stock form running in hybrid mode and the Xoom is still the only tablet that showcases Android in stock form using a full tablet configuration. No wonder the rumors are swirling about a Nexus 10. :D
[Nexus S General] el.dizzee:
Ahh, amazing, thanks for the info. I have two nexus s's that I'm trying to update right now, but I can wait with one of them for the actual update to be pushed and put up a link when it comes.

For the other phone, do you think I'd be able to do the full update to ICS from gingerbread?
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
Well if it's on Gingerbread 2.3.3 right now, is it giving you an update notification to 4.0.4?
[Nexus S General] el.dizzee:
Nope, for some reason I have no updates available, been stuck on 2.3.3 for a while, which is why I got fed up and decided to do it manually. I found all of the incremental OTAs just now though so I guess I will do it update by update.
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
That's actually not uncommon when an OTA is rolling out. Google will turn off updates for older versions until they push out a full ROM for the version you're on. But to answer your question, yes. You can upgrade from 2.3.3 to 2.3.6/GRK39F, then from there upgrade to 4.0.4/IMM76D, then on to Jelly Bean.

That's really awesome of you to leave one of your I9020As on 2.3.3 for me. I really appreciate it. Are you well versed on how to get an OTA link from logcat or do you need instructions?
[Nexus S General] TubbyHamster:
I'm getting used to being on the long end of the update cycle by now, still no update, no luck with airplane mode either.

Nexus S (Amoled) purchased off contract from Car phone Warehouse at XMas. Currently using a GiffGaff sim.

I'm staying patient for now but having JB on the Nexus S makes me want it on the phone even more!
[Nexus S General] roshan567:
hey guys

well...congrats to all you guys who received the OTA update....im sure its worked out better than the ICS

i still havent received the update...im in india...but im using the phone bought from best buy

any idea as to when i can expect the update??

Also is it safe to update it manually??

Thanks
[Nexus S General] eDrive1:
hey....

try this way.....

1. System settings

2. Apps

3. all

4. Google-Service-Framework

5. Delete Data

6. Force stop

7. go to Homescreen

8. System settings

9. about Phone

10. Systemup dates (last time of updatechecking should be 01.01.1970)

11. Check now

12. if not work go to point 1.

it wored for me.....did the trick a few times then the ota was there.....:o
[Nexus S General] thekingofangeles:
First trick didn't work. So if just force stopping "Google System Framework" didn't work try

Home screen, menu, Manage apps

Look for Google System Framework

"Force stop" and also "clear data".

Back to settings "about phone"

System Update should work. That's what I did and now downloading the update.

[Nexus S General] aswiseman:
CPW at Xmas - me too! Came with 2.3.1, downloaded the ZIP file to update to 4.0.3. Got an automatic OTA update to 4.0.4 and am growing increasingly impatient for 4.1 :)

Do you really think the Google Framework trick works? I can imagine that for those trying it once and getting it, it might have done the trick. But after 15 - 20 times, I might think that maybe it was coming anyway...

Anyhow, my Nexus S is not rooted and has no clockwork recovery. When I upgraded from 2.3.1 to 4.0.3, I simply rebooted the phone to the bootloader and selected RECOVERY and then chose to update from the ZIP file I'd downloaded to the sdcard. All my files were intact, too (no wiping required).

Can I do the same this time or not - I see differences of opinion:

According to http://thedroidguy.com/2012/07/jelly-bean-now-available-for-nexus-s-via-ota/ I can just do what I did last time...

But according to http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1445570, I can't...

Yup, I knew when I saw the error. I screwed up my busybox install the last time I wiped my phone. Self inflicted pain that I've not repeated :)
[Nexus S General] TubbyHamster:

OK, so tried what I did for 2.3.1 -> 4.0.3 (using stock recovery) and got

assert failed: apply_patch_space(16570800)

E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

(Status 7)

After reading loads of posts on this, it appears that it's not possible to use stock recovery to update with the ZIP. So I need, say Clockwork Mod Recovery but to install that I have to unlock the bootloader and to do that I have to wipe the phone? Is that right?

Or is there a less destructive way to update stock 4.0.4 -> 4.1.1 ?

If not, it's back to waiting...

Hopefully you shouldn't have to wait long, mine came through so I assume its imminent. :)

if you are on stock recovery only two way:

-force with framework

or

-use CWM

if you are already in cwm recovery

-try to replace the affected file (example...gps.conf...etc..)

-reinstall factory image 4.0.4
[Nexus S General] csdibiase@gmail.com:
The OTA script does some basic checksum verification of the existing ROM to verify that the system is healthy before trying to install. The last thing anyone wants ts is an ota to brick a phone

If you've rooted, its very possible that there is some component has been over written. In my own case I can blame user error with busy box.

Google voice application v0.4.2.59 problems!

Has anyone who's gotten the JB update noticed how terrible the new version of google voice is (not voice search, the actual GV app.) Suddenly, outgoing SMSs are "queued" for seconds to minutes before they even attempt to send, even over a strong 3G or WiFi connection. Additionally, the search function is totally broken (as in, I hit search, type in a contact's name or part of a name, hit enter, and literally NOTHING happens). I've reformetted, cleared dalvik cache, everything I could think of since I use google voice almost exclusively for texting. Finally, noticing that there seems to be a "special" version of the google voice application that came with the jellybean update (v0.4.2.59 instead of v0.4.2.54 which is the market version) I sideloaded the market version. Not only did it install and run (after force stopping and clearing data in the application settings), but it works perfectly! Search works, no lag, SMSs send properly. Unfortunately, the newer version that came with the OTA update seems to reinstall itself every reboot. So I'm hoping google fixes the problem - is anyone else experiencing the same issue? I've reported the bugs, and seen other people complaining about the google voice app search not working on the galaxy nexus after the JB update... wondering if I'm the only one with a nexus S experiencing this?

I have a Nexus S (9020T) on T-Mobile, but the problems occur whether the SIM is in or not. This is after the OTA 4.1.1 update.
[Nexus S General] chronophase1:
Just a heads up to anybody who likes to disable animations. Turns out if you disable them, it apparently nukes the app drawer animations and the lockscreen splash. I re-enabled them and rebooted and they all came back. The launcher can be fixed by turning them back on and force closing and opening it again, but the lockscreen seems to only work once you reboot the phone. It was bugging the hell out of me and I had to reboot my phone for another reason and found this out.

I was just wondering if anyone is disappointed that there's no offline voice-texting like google saying there was going to be... Is there some sort of language package that I can download somewhere for me to use it offline?
[Nexus S General] brave83:
I have a I9020T with IMM76D running stock. I have not received the OTA for JB. I tried the airplane mode, clear google services framework trick. My download updates and verifies. When I click restart and install, it states it will restart in 10 seconds. Once it reaches 8 seconds, it reverts back to the screen that my phone is to date. I've tried this numerous times with the same outcome.

I tried the I9020T IMM76D OTA link that was in the first post, and it did not work. I downloaded the zip and moved it to my root SD folder. I rebooted the phone and held down vol up and power and entered recovery mode. Once I got to the droid picture w/ exclamation mark, I pressed volume up and power again. I select the downloaded zip and it begins to install. Halfway through, I receive a "system error 7" and it does not continue.

Any advice?
[Nexus S General] kibmcz:
Ever since ICS you can't install ota zips via stock recovery. You got to use a mod recovery such as CWM.
[Nexus S General] Ehol:
Hi, I have a slightly different problem:

I upgraded from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1. after reverting to complete stock with the soju factory image (i9023 italian) via cwm 6.0.0.7 recovery and it all went well. Rebooted the phone and it started ok.

But, after I insert the PIN for my SIM Card, everything goes nuts: the app "Phone" continues to crash over and over, preventing me to use the phone correctly. I tried to force the Airplane mode in order to boot the phone without receiving errors and that worked, meaning that I can access everything on the phone except the phone parts (but the dialer still starts if I invoke it). I tried, with the airplane mode on, to start Wi-fi and it started, so I could try out the new functionalities like Google Now and they worked good. But I can't use the "phone" and obviously the 3G connection.

After some hours of unsuccesful tryings I was forced to revert to 4.0.4 (fortunately I nandroided my previous installation). Did anyone had something like this ?

Sorry if this was asked before, but franklyI can't read 324 pages of the thread to sort out something like that (and doing some searching was not helpful ...).

thanks in advance for any kind soul who may help me.
[Nexus S General] brave83:
Thanks. If I use CWM, I'll have to root it, right? I'm going to sell this on Ebay ($175) since I just purchased a Galaxy Nexus; since I'm selling it, I may not worry about it. Anyone heard of the google services framework trick downloading the OTA update, but never restarting to intall it?

Do you have enough memory on the phone? similar thing happened to me when I put too much stuff on my phone, unless I am confusing something! Had to hard reset to fix

Check out this thread: [GUIDE][i9020T][i9023][i9020a][m200] Factory Images (ICS-GB)
[Nexus S General] brave83:
So I solved my weird issue and decided to post in case someone else runs across it. To recap:

-My phone never received the OTA automatically

-Airplane mode/killing google services framework/reboot/turning off plane mode finds the update

-After download is complete and clicking install, the phone counts down from 10 seconds; at 8 seconds, it reverts back to the "your phone is up to date screen"

After much screwing around, I figured it out. Prior to selecting the "reboot and install" button, I put the phone back into airplane mode and it rebooted and installed. I'm no expert, but something on my phone must not have been ready for an install, but after performing the trick and putting it back in airplane mode, it could not find an internet connection to re-verify.

Thanks for all the advice!

I have an I9020A on AT&T running IMM76D. I DLed the Google OTA file next to 76D, renamed to update.zip and put it in root of SD. Update starts the errors out, Error 7 I think; something about sideloading, then "Installation Aborted"

Any help appreciated. TIA
[Nexus S General] Crittias:
If you manually put the zipfile onto your phone (instead of receiving it via OTA), you'll need to use ClockworkMod Recovery to install it, not the stock recovery.

[Nexus S General] pavlk:
I complained about this problem among others to support the business calendar and my answer was this:

Hey Pavel,

unfortunately there seems to be a minor error in connection with apps that have been purchased in the Google Play Store. Somehow the developers of Google implemented a bug into their version of the Jelly Bean for the Nexus S and therefore every app which has been purchased through the Google Play Store fails in combination with their widgets. So every time you put a widget of such an application on your home-screen the connection with the Play Store leads to the removal of every widget. We as developer of the Business Calendar are not able to fix this error on our side. Only Google can resolve this problem with a new system update (which is hopefully released very soon!).

As a workaround I attached the Business Calendar .apk-file to this mail which is of course NOT linked to the Google Play Store and which should work properly on your device. Please remember to uninstall your Business Calendar Pro from your device first! Afterwards transfer "BizCalPro.apk" to your Nexus S and install it. Now the connection to the market has been removed and you should be able to use our widgets.

There is only one disadvantage: since the connection to the Play Store has been removed you won't receive any app updates for our Business Calendar anymore! So this is just a temporary fix for this problem and as soon as Google releases a new system update please remove our non-linked version from your device and install the Business Calendar again out of the Google Play Store. Now the app is linked again and you should be able to receive updates.
[Nexus S General] mrgilmorean:
Yeah, I noticed my GV app was being really funky too after the JB update. Didn't even realize it was a different version. In addition to the problems listed, my inbox shows up as empty every so often. Hitting refresh fixes this but it is really annoying. It also doesn't seem to play nicely with the notification system anymore. Most of the time, it doesn't seem to know that I've read prior messages in a thread and tells me that there are 10 new messages from someone when in fact, there's only one. It also keeps telling me I have new voicemail even though I have marked all the voicemail as read online and gone to the voicemail tab in the app and listened to all of them.
[Nexus S General] Crittias:
