You can get much better battery life and performance by tweaking some of the build prop and you can change the whole look and feel of the phone, even the font type, I have a tablet style clock in my status bar... I mean look at paranoidandroid rom.. that's huge in Android development, you can have a phone that's half tablet half phone which allows you to get apps only available for tablets.. i mean the things you can do with root are endless not to mention quick toggles in the drop down notification bar, which I couldn't live without.. plus battery styles like circle mod.. also adding beats audio to your phone is awesome

*One does not simply inform false ETA for Jelly Bean.. *

Sent from my Nexus S still using Ice Cream Sandwich.
[Nexus S General] ErdMutter:
You would think this is something, I don't know, they would have picked out when they were testing the fricking thing... and before they decided to release an ETA.

I guess I should have seen this coming being that there was no official news from Google... and no one in the past several hours has reported on Twitter nor on Google+ of obtaining the update.

I guess it is a good think I decided to go to bed and wake up in a few hours instead of sit out waiting for the update. -_- Being that I have a 4 hour drive to go to a root canal specialist, I think I have made a good life decisions for once in the life time of reading this thread... :eek:

Good night people, see you all tomorrow:confused:
[Nexus S General] soma_sakutuki:
oh no!what a bad news!:(
[Nexus S General] MRsf27:
you know id love to root my phone and get a custom rom on there but I have never done anything like that before and I'm scared of bricking the only phone i have for communication. Im definately gonna keep my nexus s after my plan is done and start messing around with it

[Nexus S General] Killasmoke:
When you see the binaries on the AOSP page then we will begin to here & see update as I asked JBQ on twitter 6 days ago so until then sit tight! As soon as binaries get posted ;)
[Nexus S General] osbaldov:
Crap! This sucks!
[Nexus S General] ghling:
Pffff, ask non-nexus android user about how it sucks having to wait for an update. Especially the european Motorola owner.

Maybe they forgot to add the australian emergency call number to the numbers you can call from that "emergency call" menu?
[Nexus S General] Killasmoke:
Here's a screen shot of his reply back too me on twitter!! Even when it gets pushed to NEXUS S we on Sprint with Nexis S4G won't get it for a while so all I care for is binaries so devs could cook up really proper jellybean Roms!
[Nexus S General] FloHimself:
This is just an excuse for the attention-attracting blog post.
[Nexus S General] evol4g:
If your willing to take ten minutes to read a thread of a rom before you flash it you won't brick it

First you would wanna read up on how to properly root your phone

www.nexussroot.com is a good site, if that isn't the correct domain just Google it and you'll find it

Then read up on how to properly wipe and flash a rom

Your last job would be to find a rom you'd like and read the entire op and the last 5-10 pages of the thread to see if people are experiencing any problems.. unless a rom is in alpha stage then it won't brick your phone

Once you feel comfortable after a while then you can look into doing flashable mods which aren't likely to brick your phone either... there's no reason to be scared about bricking your phone so long as you do research everything you do first... the retards that brick their phones are the ones thinking they can flash a mod meant for a rom on a different device or flashing a rom for a different device or not researching anything before flashing..

The nexus s is extremely easy to root and a good phone to start with.. just make sure you have your contacts synced with Gmail and back up anything important to your SD card
[Nexus S General] JavaJunkay:

[Nexus S General] MRsf27:
I would like to get into more detail of this with you. Are you experienced at putting rooting phones and putting custom roms on the nexus s?
[Nexus S General] MRsf27:
hey come on now, you cant expect every person to know how to root a phone. and who the hell would want a lamborghini anyways? we all know that they only make good tractors and not good sports cars
[Nexus S General] michalurban:
Can one root his tractor? :)
[Nexus S General] davyu:
There's no warranty voiding issue when you drive above 50km/h on a Lambo.

Take for example this screenshot from Galaxy Nexus http://www.anandtech.com/show/5882/galaxy-nexus-cdmalte-404-imm76k-update-rolling-out it does not say nothing.

I have never seen that thing before...
[Nexus S General] urko95:
But if someone it's on 2.3.6/7 and wants to update via OTA it's not going to be able to update to 4.0.4, but it's not logical to delete a update and don't upload a new one, What do you think?

I'm so nervous... :laugh:

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:52 PM ----------

Because that screenshoot it's from a VERIZON's Galaxy Nexus, not from a GSM Galaxy Nexus...

[Nexus S General] boostern:
In my opinion it's not related to the JB OTA...but who knows...
[Nexus S General] leap_ahead:
we will see guys what happen !!
[Nexus S General] ferozfero:
ok but check this... i once restored my phone to 2.3.3 to hand over for warrenty.. then wen i got it back.. i got ota update straight to 4.0.4.. not 4.0.3... or 2.3.6.... it was like a 150 mb download... so my boys ..its definatly coming down for jelly bean update to be uploaded.. jus hope that its RELEASED today...
[Nexus S General] boostern:
Then? I have linked that post only to show that it's not a common thing, and in fact is something I have never noticed...
[Nexus S General] urko95:
So, it's related to what? If it's not related to Jelly Bean, it has not logic...

BTW, we could think that the update to 4.0.4 could have been modificated to integrate that date...

Regards,

Urko

---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:56 PM ----------

But it could be noticed in a screenshoot of the update to 4.0.4 of a GSM Galaxy Nexus and noone have noticed it... What do you think?

Regards,

Urko
[Nexus S General] boostern:
Dunno, maybe it's related to the fix for apple patent lawsuite and the massive OTA at the same time in all countries...or to the preparation process for JB OTA, but it doesn't necessary implies that tha OTA will come today.
[Nexus S General] urko95:
That is what I'm saying, if now you have a Nexus S with GingerBread (2.3.3, for example) you will not be able to update to 4.0.4? You have to be able to update to X version, so, if 4.0.4 it's going to be deleted, you have to be able to update to 4.1!

Do you know what I mean?

Regards,

Urko
[Nexus S General] ferozfero:
its definatly for jelly bean.. preparation process probably.. but common guys..its way earlier than mid july.. . google trying to keep promises..

---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:32 PM ----------

oh riiiiggggggggggghhhhhhhhhttttttttt..... man ur definatly right... unless google is planning to block ALL updates for a few days , thats DEFINATLY an OTA for jelly bean... holy **** i think i jus **** my pants... ah sweet ice cream sandwich memories of ****ting pants with xda friends.. hehe
[Nexus S General] urko95:
It's better to push the update earlier than you say, don't you think?

PS: With ICS, if saying that it was going to update soon it's to update 6 months before realase, yes, google tried to keep promises...

Regards,

Urko
[Nexus S General] mike.b93:
Wouldnt be the first time a update came slightly earlier .. xD
[Nexus S General] urko95:
BTW I don't know if it's my imagination or not but, when I try to check for update, it las more than yesterday, do you notice that?

Could be now Google uploading to their servers Jelly Bean update?

I'm nervous! :laugh:

PS: What time is it on USA? I'm on Spain...

Regards,

Urko
[Nexus S General] ferozfero:
true true.. thing is if google doesnt keep this promise..they lose credibility..if they do keep em...well then the did EVERYTHING right...

---------- Post added at 09:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:40 PM ----------

thats jus you sitting on the edge of ur seat..
[Nexus S General] urko95:
That's true but... What about GN update? People from Google I/O has in their GN and why other people don't have it right now via OTA if it's available?

Regards,

Urko
[Nexus S General] mike.b93:
I think your imagination plays games with u xD

Btw what's the phone code for checking updates?
[Nexus S General] boostern:
Because it was a preview and not the final version...
[Nexus S General] urko95:
****ing imagination... xD

I think that it's this: *#*#2432546#*#*

OTA available ? Where ???:mad:

With the nexus s you can unroot in 5 minutes so there's no trace of warranty voiding rooting ;)

Bonjour,

Oui en effet, comme nous l’avons déjà expliqué la diffusion en FOTA prend plusieurs jours ce qui explique que tout le monde ne reçoit pas la MAJ en même temps ! La MAJ est bien disponible ! Sinon tout baigne pour notre fréquentation, merci de vous en soucier

Cordialement,

Just giving the heads up CM9 release candidate 2 just came out!! :) its not jellybean but CM9 is getting closer to stable status!
[Nexus S General] evol4g:
Just Google the site its something like that all you have to do is type nexus s root.. I was on the site earlier
[Nexus S General] nitrix:
I think you are speaking about nexusshacks.com I found the video on how to root from there and been on custom roms ever since.
[Nexus S General] :
"Good morning,

Yes indeed, as we have allready explained the diffusion in FOTA (firmware over the air) take serveral days what explains why everybody does not receive it at the same time ! The UPDATE is indeed available! Appart from that everything is all right for (the SFR website) frequenting, thank for caring about it

Cordially,"

P.S. : pls stop talking about subject not OTA direclty related, such as rooting, custom roms (this make the thread extremly hard to follow)... There are other thread out there for that and stickies with easy to follow step by step guides.
[Nexus S General] neelabh75:
Google is sending 4.1.1 OTA for Nexus S from tomorrow morning i.e. 20th :)
[Nexus S General] Cephalus:
I can confirm that. Lost my EFS partition overnight (strangely, looking through XDA it seems I wasn't the only one to suffer this bug), flashed stock ROM back on and unrooted it and submitted to Samsung, who promptly replaced the motherboard (further bolstering my suspicions that it was a relatively common problem) without mentioning anything about it having been rooted/flashed/played with.

Back on the original topic though... I think I'll be giving JB a miss 'til there's been some work done on it by custom developers; nice as it'd be to have a play with the "latest and greatest," I remember how miserable I felt going back to stock ICS after I had the aforementioned motherboard replaced (and before I could get time to re-flash a custom ROM, meaning I had to "suffer" ICS for a whole week).

For those who're being impatient waiting for the upgrade, might I suggest a healthy dose of "wine, women and song?" Mainly the "wine and women" part. They're each amazingly effective at keeping your mind off trivial things like ROM upgrades, but combined they'll make you forget all about your 'phone! :p
[Nexus S General] nitrix:
Not again? Come on men, show us some link with google saying it and we will believe.
[Nexus S General] Muvolt:
Thanks for the heads up but CM9 is extremely buggy and slow compared to other custom roms. RC1 had a hell lot of bugs (more than any previous nightly) and was very slow too...I don't think they got the sport..

[Nexus S General] Drummyman:
Guys... can you even think for a moment that some of us actually USE this phone to work and bought it because it's updates and stability of android, more than modding and time-consuming-changes of roms???

Say more, I do app developing and use Nexus S for testing, and rooting is not needed for that use. Every other test device I use is rooted, though.

With that said, I take a break from the JB wait and I'll go on holydays till august. Hopefully, when I'm back I'm able to finally taste JB!

I think it still does, I am not sure but I think 4.1.1 OTA is an update for 4.0.4 (?)

For the Galaxy Nexus, one OTA package was :
