Well they needed that space for Currents and Play Magazines right? :)

Man the list of missing features keeps growing. We can add this to face unlock, tap to focus and digital zoom.
[Nexus S General] papubhai:
Yea but wouldn't u agree that offline typing is something u cud use everyday... like when not on data, u cud easily send texts..

Im just saying from this point of view.

It might come up in a custom rom :D
[Nexus S General] rockylittlewolf:
Thanks
[Nexus S General] papubhai:
Let me tell you guys something really funny...........

I updated to 4.1.1 via CWM and just now i thought that lets try the OTA way... it did not work.

I went back to 4.0.3 then ota came for 4.0.4 saying "via wi-fi till 23 july only"

After that i tried for like 100 times but 4.1.1 ota did not come up....

I went to settings, set date at 24 july and hit "Check Now", the first attempt and OTA came up LMAO

LMAO Gooooooogle :laugh:
[Nexus S General] zorak950:
I think most or all of those were also left out because of hardware limitations. Anyway, I'd be hard-pressed to call anything about the GN's camera a "feature." :P

This is genius. Also working for both updates on my AT&T Nexus S in the US.

Got the update with no sim and doing the reset frameworks bizz 3 times

I9023 SLCD

Location: Portugal

carrier: Vodafone
[Nexus S General] Deathbyfugu:
Same for my mother's and brother's i9020a on AT&T (both were previously on the initial version of 4.0.4).
[Nexus S General] thas5:
IMM76M update came right away after I returned to stock. Flashed the update & it's a huge improvement over the very laggy ICS.
[Nexus S General] masterofmayhem:
Did anyone else's "news and weather" app stop working with the JB update? Mine did.
[Nexus S General] Fylk:
I'm getting some odd behaviors. Can't adb or even connect to USB. And it doesn't change icons when charging. Very strange.
[Nexus S General] mzalan:
Then it's probably going to be the port, not the ROM. I don't have any similar problems, at the very least.
[Nexus S General] tankmaster90:
will i lose root?? Anyone know? If i flash the OTA from the OP of this thread
[Nexus S General] svjness:
Just after 8pm here in Texas. i9020a on AT&T- no OTA yet.

*goes back to clearing framework cache and checking for update every 5 min*
[Nexus S General] Deathbyfugu:
Same here heh - I've gotten the IMM76M revision installed but 4.1.1 isn't showing up after several of goes at the process detailed previously.
[Nexus S General] Morodo:
I forced the update and it worked :good:
[Nexus S General] thas5:
I've noticed the same thing. Not a big deal I guess. Google Now tells you the weather & there are better apps for the news such as Google Currents & Flipboard.
[Nexus S General] JoeDaddy0710:
I live in Colorado and My wife has an i9020T that got the OTA around 1pm MST, my i9020T is still without the OTA
[Nexus S General] Fylk:
Or the cable. Mine's rather beat.

Not that I often use wired transfers any more. Thank you Solid Explorer.

EDIT: My volume was down. I feel like an idiot. Haha. It is still slow though
[Nexus S General] ekerazha:
I tried several times to restore the 4.0.4 factory image ad update to Jelly Bean... I also wiped data... and I have one minor issue and one major issue:

Minor issue: the "text-to-speech engine" often crashes on startup

Major issue: settings aren't saved... I add a live wallpaper, widgets etc.... reboot... it reverts to the default live wallpaper, every widgets disappear etc. and it seems like my live wallpaper gets killed when shutting down (when the phone is shutting down, the live wallpaper disappears and I see a full black wallpaper). Also, most apps lose their settings.

:rolleyes:
[Nexus S General] Ruben Martinez:
Yeah...

I had the same "error status 7" message as OP, unfortunately doing this didn't help :/ Any other tips?

UPDATE: SOLVED!

I updated to the Build ending in 76M (I was 76D), and then immediately updated to the Jelly Bean update posted here. Worked like a charm! I'd suggest this to anyone having trouble flashing, getting "error status 7 abort" messages.
[Nexus S General] TrIn@dOr:
At last got OTA, did that trick with no sim 2 times and worked...
[Nexus S General] Ruben Martinez:
So,

It's not like I can'y just install it, but

A) Why is Chrome not installed by default as the stock browser?

B) Why is the old stock browser still around?

I thought Chrome WAS supposed to be the default browser in JB.
[Nexus S General] Chillingly Based:
Regarding Google now has anyone noticed there's some minor features missing? Like if you as the phone how tall messi is it will just give you the number but not a picture on the side etc.
[Nexus S General] MRsf27:
Offline voice typing doesn't work but it works when WiFi is on... there is some lag but browsing is way faster And swiping through the home screens is much smoother to... sometimes Google now doesn't respond just sends me to Google.ca to search the answer myself but I noticed u have to be very specific about it for the lady to respond
[Nexus S General] nolook:
finally got it with the framework trick while in airplane mode...
[Nexus S General] EleventhHour2139:
I looked for an answer but no dice, is there a difference between A and T versions of this? My understanding is that it comes without a radio, so I guess I'm unclear as to what the differences are.

Yes, but only occasionally. It almost always speaks responses if done correctly. Are you using the voice search? Idk if it'll give you spoken responses otherwise.

However, I do experience the occasional slowdown, and sometimes it's borderline massive. Byproduct of old hardware perhaps?

They've improved the stock browser even further. Short of open page syncing, I don't see a reason to. I would love for them to improve it to the point that it's as smooth as stock, but as of now it really is noticeably clunkier, for me anyway.

Via voice search:
[Nexus S General] anshumandash:
I wanted to wait till the OTA. Finally got the OTA push on my phone last night. I am in India with 9020T. :D

Downloaded now and going to reboot to initiate installation.
[Nexus S General] Chillout010:
Yeah same thing is happening to me. Google Now seems pretty slow overall.

I dunno, maybe i'm in the minority but JB doesn't feel that "buttery" to me, it feels kinda sluggish.
[Nexus S General] Chillingly Based:
Interesting.. this is what I get
[Nexus S General] Articudos:
IMO, You need to buy GNex;)
[Nexus S General] albundy2010:
Some of said the offline voice may not be there for lack of space. That is not the case. Still plenty of space in /system. Also on other devices it let's you download the offline files and pick from available languages. That data would end up in either /data/data or sdcard somewhere perhaps. It is not a space issue.

[Nexus S General] bigschmoove:
It's not working for me. Is it still working for anyone? I really did like having that widget on my home screen.
[Nexus S General] nfn_nln:
Update: It looks like updates on Nexus devices without SD cards can not be performed manually unless you either root or use a custom recovery, like CWM - otherwise, you'll get the errors many of you are seeing. It seems to be happening because the OTA files check whether they're located in /cache, which isn't writable unless you root or receive a proper OTA. JBQ himself confirmed it, but said it wasn't on purpose. The preferred solution seems to be using a custom recovery, then installing the above update. Galaxy Nexus has a similar problem, so you're not alone.
[Nexus S General] Articudos:
That's normal..:confused:
[Nexus S General] maxx1601:
Finally made it!

From AOSP 4.1.1 all the way back to gingerbread stock and made the legit update then root again and cwm'd the 4.1.1 ota.

Feels good:)
[Nexus S General] Snuffalofagus:
To those who have the picture problem in Google Now, it has already been solved. If you're from a different country other than the US, I'm assuming Google Now is searching with your country's version of Google (which does not support Google Now images) you will need to go into settings and check the "search with google.com" or something, I know this because about 50 or so pages back, a dude in Canada had this problem, he figured out that google.ca (I think that's the correct URL) does not support Google Now images, only the original google.com
[Nexus S General] papubhai:
There might be a 4.1.2 soon.... fixing any bugs/unusual things reported by users.

After all we are the ones doing the real QA for android.

thanks m8......denmark here got it yesterday.....
[Nexus S General] MRsf27:
Overall the new OS is good. It's not as laggy as ICS, nice and smooth swiping through everything. It's even faster at opening up apps. Only issue is that offline voice-typing doesn't work. I wonder if you have to download a language package or something for it to work. anyone know about this?
[Nexus S General] payaseitor:
i update from chile

i use the framework trick

But before a change the zone clock, the language, the date (25 july) and the location to london.

Try clear data and search for update 10 times or more, than i get the update.

[Nexus S General] cyberdenz:
Did the Galaxy Nexus trick, on the 3rd try,

i got the OTA update to 4.1.1.

Now nexus S i9023 downloading 114.4MB via wifi

(Philippines)
[Nexus S General] Chillingly Based:
O

Wow, that was a quick and easy fix. Thanks.

Unfortunately, I think Google Now suffers from the same problem the contacts/people app does. The pictures look terrible and seem low-res. Maybe its a way of reducing bandwidth and getting fast response time? Who knows.

By the way - Where does it fetch the pictures from? That picture of Taylor Swift is not on her wikipedia page. Fetching ran domly from image search seems like a terrible idea.
[Nexus S General] chkamran:
Thanks. Took me three tries to get it.
[Nexus S General] JoeDaddy0710:
This trick worked for me on the second try. OTA downloading now. I did also do the airplane mode->Enable Wifi-> pull SIM card-> reboot a few times before this so I am not sure which did the trick.

Manage to get update dl now as I type.

OTA!

i9020 here... stock 4.0.4, stock recovery, unrooted... I hadn't been getting the update, so i did the Google Services Framework killing trick and it only took me two tries before I got the OTA! Downloading it now!

[Nexus S General] ekerazha:
Any idea? I can't use my phone anymore... on every reboot it loses any live wallpaper, widget, setting etc. if I revert to ICS it's all fine... did you try to reboot your own phones?
[Nexus S General] mzalan:
You may have a permission error somewhere, but mine works perfectly. Try checking read/write permissions with CWM and/or Root Explorer, you may find a read-only file/partition that should be read-write to save settings and stuff...
[Nexus S General] MersauX:
Everything is working great except the CRT animation on lock screen. Sometimes it works, but more often it doesn't.
[Nexus S General] ekerazha:
Yesterday I erroneously started "Fix permissions" in CWM recovery, but I already restored the 4.0.4 factory image several times... shouldn't this completely wipe everything? Moreover with ICS it's all fine, I only have this issue with JB.
[Nexus S General] MRsf27:
only thing i noticed with that lock screen is that when you swipe up to go to google now it kind lags for 2 secs and then goes to google now, everything else with unlocking and going to camera is fine

sorry, it lags going to the camera also lol

Stock News&Weather Widget

Hi guys

I got the Jelly Bean OTA last night and everything seemed to be working perfectly but this morning the news and weather widget won't load.

Its says 'there was a network error try again later' over wifi and 3g. Is anyone else experiencing this?
[Nexus S General] mzalan:
I assume you're using the update you're getting OTA as your device auto-updates. If so, I don't know what could be going wrong, I can only suggest checking partitions for any abnormal read-write permissions.

The Fix Permissions function in CWM only extends to the recovery program, I think, but it may be worthwhile to run it again after flashing the update. That's the last thing i can think of that'll help you (short of offering a sacrifice to your chosen deity...:laugh:)
[Nexus S General] hassanshahzad:
I got the update too... and the same happened on the second boot .. I usually use stock weather widget so can anybody help!!

Hello Dragon,

You're not alone with this case : as I type this message I try to connect the widget and it don't want to.

I have read we are many trying ...
[Nexus S General] FloHimself:
Weather widget gives a

W/System.err( 4663): java.io.IOException: Premature EOF

so I guess it's a temporary problem with the data format on google's servers.
[Nexus S General] ekerazha:
I think that I've found the cause. It only happens if I factory reset the smartphone after having upgraded to Jelly Bean (I always did this to have a clean JB system). It looks like Jelly Bean can't correctly manage a factory reset.

Can anybody confirm this?

Factory resetting a Jelly Bean system:

a) On first boot (there's the Welcome screen etc.) there are very high possibilities of a "text-to-speech engine" crash.

b) If you add widgets, change live wallpaper etc. they won't survive a reboot. Most app settings won't survive a reboot.

This only happens if you already upgraded to Jelly Bean. If you factory reset with ICS, you start ICS and you upgrade to JB, then it works fine.

Edit: I still randomly have the issue b), I add a widget -> reboot - > widget disappear (only newly added widgets), this can't be an issue of mine as the phone has been factory restored, I'm sure somebody else will see it.
[Nexus S General] PsychoTribe:
Aldiko book reader work just fine for me.
[Nexus S General] ViD0:
+1 , weather widget doesnt work. P.S : if you want to root your nexus after JB update, you have to use SU 3.2 arm, cause 3.0.7 wont root your phone. Btw , why mine crt shutdown is now missing ?

[Nexus S General] drifter136:
So having had the update for a little over 12 hours now, the phone feels much smoother and I'm loving the updates. But I just ran a Quadrant benchmark, and it's WAY down from what I normally see. I'm getting in the 1100 range, whereas my phone (and the reference Nexus S score on the results screen) used to be in the 1600 range on ICS and GB.

Anybody else noticed this? I'm going to run some other benchmarks to see if its just the way Quadrant's benchmark scores, but I just found it weird because the graphics tests in the benchmark looked much smoother and higher framerates than before, but the score is way down.
[Nexus S General] Jayrod1980:
If the galaxy nexus is any indication... its probably because jellybean keeps more system ram for itself so that its ready for user inputs. I'd much rather have a better experience than higher benchmark scores.

What are the differences between 4.1.1 stock : 1.soju-ota_jro03e.zip 2.9ZGgDXDi.zip ?? Which of these do you recommend?
[Nexus S General] kibmcz:
Well it is full rom vs ota upgrade.... the first one you mentioned i put together for those who were having issues with the ota not working.
[Nexus S General] Andrew1998:
thank you for the fast answer.. yesterday i installed the OTA update , i have no problem but sometimes nexus has slowdowns and i think there isn't something...so i would install full stock rom 4.1.1.

what i have to do ? Enter to recovery, do a full wipe(which wipe, there are many wipe) ?? and install the zip... right^
[Nexus S General] teuntje3:
I flashed the soju ota over the AOKP rom, but everything is working fine?
[Nexus S General] kibmcz:
A wipe should fix it in most cases... from what i read not wiping is having mixed results of not working that well so far.
[Nexus S General] drifter136:
Oh I totally agree there. Like I said, it FEELS super smooth and I love the improvements. If the by-product is just a lower benchmark score that doesn't affect my end experience (which is what it looks like so far) I'm totally onboard.
[Nexus S General] Andrew1998:
ok i will do only a wipe cache and dalvin..some people is having problem by the passage of ICS to JB.. so what will happen by the passage OF JB ( upgraded ) to JB
[Nexus S General] ironia.:
First is ics plus ota. Second only ota
[Nexus S General] Andrew1998:
ok can you recommend me a kernel to JB stock ? or do you think that the better is the stock kernel?

Worked for me, too!

These instructions worked flawlessly for me!

Brought my i9020a (AT&T U.S.) from IMM76D to IMM76M. Then I just repeated the steps to clear cache and look for updates. On the second try, the update was there waiting for me.

Now I am at JRO03E!!

I had been struggling with the eternal, "Do I wipe my whole phone just to get root so I can flash CWM recovery?" and found this post.

Thanks a million!!

(I do miss the original Nexus One boot animation though...)

Thanks again!!!
[Nexus S General] KevinouILG:
I receive the OTA yesterday on a 9020T Nexus working only on WIfi (I use it like a good PMP). I'm located in france and I was part from the people with the error 7.

No, You can't install "pure OTA(?)" using custom recovery and deodexed version.:)

I've got my Jelly Bean

Tried for several days to get the OTA but no luck.

Then i tried

1.Switch to airplane mode

2. Reboot phone

3. Did the google services framework thing twice.

And got my notification.

After installing it, i did a full reset to have that brand new feel, only to realise that it almost broke my 3G trafic limit,downloading and reinstalling all the applications i had on ICS.

I have a i9023 on Vodafone Portugal.
[Nexus S General] oldblue910:
Sprint will not allow Google to push updates to the Nexus S 4G without testing it first. So Google submits the update to Sprint, then Sprint gets time to test it and only once they approve it can it be pushed to devices.

Verizon does the same thing with the Galaxy Nexus and the Xoom. Here's a timetable:

Galaxy Nexus 4.0.4 Update - GSM got it at the end of March, Verizon Gnex didn't get it until the end of May.

Xoom 4.0.4 Update - WiFi-only model got it at the end of March, Verizon version didn't get it until June 4.

Since the GSM Galaxy Nexus just got Jelly Bean last week, we probably won't see it on the Verizon Gnex before late August, and that's if you're an optimist.

Since the GSM Nexus S is getting Jelly Bean now, you can look forward to testing delays from Sprint which will probably put the release date around the end of August. Just the nature of the beast with Sprint and Verizon.
