Ice Cream Sandwich (3.1)? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ice Cream Sandwich (3.1)? - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Surprised no one has a thread about this yet. Big talk about it coming out next month and I'm hopeful that all the nexus hype pays off and we get first dibs on it (aw yeaaaa!).
Anyone have news on it? Hope Andy Rubin puts out something hot.

Where did you read about it being next month?

lol number fail.
next one was gona be 2.4.
not 3.1.
and sites been saying it would come around April, guess what,we are april,and still no 2.4.
there isnt a official date thats it gone be released any time soon

if 2.4 is gonna come out, then could that herald a new nexus?

2.4 is suppose to add dual core support for phones. I don't know when it will be released, I also heard some where around April. My friend and I are currently still on 2.3.2, I'm not sure why they stopped the update. I do think that we will see Ice Cream at I/O but it won't get sent out until around December like Gingerbread.

FroYo was shown at I/O last year. If I remember correctly, it started rolling out to the Nexus One sometime in June 2010.

They never officially announced that they stopped the ota. The files for 2.3.3 are still on their servers. Just manually update it. Its easy.
And new gingerbread phones are coming with 2.3.3 so there's nothing wrong.
December? Doubt it. Google releases updates whenever. Not during Q4 of each year.

I have the file for 2.3.3 already, I had forgot that Google had sent out the update honestly. Also I know how to manually install it, I've been doing it to my phones since cupcake on the G1. Now that I think about it I/O is in a few days so maybe they will send out 2.4 then, who knows.

2.4 is gingerbread. 3.1 is ice cream sandwich, hence the title of this thread. If you dont believe me, Google it. Do try to avoid assumptions, but thanks for the info on 2.4.
I'm aware that 2.4 is the next logical step however with all the moving and shaking at Google right now I wouldn't be surprised that we might get 3.1 sooner.
I'll give you credit in that 2.4 which was also called ice cream sandwich for some time was supposed to come out this month, but yea still nothing.

2.3 is gingerbread. I think you should avoid assumptions isjr is right. and no one ever said Ice Cream is coming out this month.
http://www.androidauthority.com/android-2-4-ice-cream-rumors-all-around-12376/
Is it really 2.4?
We aren’t sure yet. Google jumped directly from version 2.3 to version 3.0. We can suppose that this is because Gingerbread and Honeycomb were both meant for different platforms (Gingerbread is for cellphones while Honeycomb is for tablets). While it’s our assumption that the next version of Android would be version 2.4, nothing is sure until Google officially unveils the next version. There are also rumors that the next version would be known as ‘Ice Cream sandwich’ and not ‘Ice Cream’. Android Chief Andy Rubin also cleared the air a couple of weeks back that the next version may be called ‘Android 2.4 Ice Cream’ or something else. He also said that users eagerly waiting for the next version would probably see it during the Google I/O conference that is going to be held in just another month.

well anyway guys. all this arguing about 2.4 or 3.1 .... All i can think about is that the next major update from google will come with a new phone as well.
We all know that google is working to make dualcore support on the next version and i guess it would be kind of useless if they dont have a hardware to test it on in their headquarters.
Pls don't ask for links or ... it is only my logical opinion.

That's not the highlight of Ice Cream though. It's merging the ideas of Android on phones, Android on tablets and possibly Android on Google TV.

U.S. CellularWe're working with Samsung, HTC and LG to provide Froyo (Android 2.2) upgrades for all of our Android-powered phones. The Acclaim upgrade will be available by the end of next week, and customers with the Desire will be able to upgrade their device by the end of this month. The Apex and Mesmerize will be ready for upgrades around March. Download details coming next week. Thanks for your patience.about an hour ago.

Honestly I'm hoping that we have the 2.3 ASOP rom before then. Let's cross our fingers.

Damn US Cellular, seriously? March? Wtf

Except how great will it be if the AOSP community can get the 2.3 GUI running on the Galaxy S devices before USCC even pushes 2.2! That'll be a slap in the face in it's own regard..
Once that happens it won't matter because we'll be able to port any existing ROMs and CyanogenMod will follow soon after.

About the best option available right now! (=

so how long till we get a leaked version so we can flash it?

Pretty ridiculous. They'd update the Acclaim and the Desire in the coming week/weeks...and leave the Mesmerize for March... I'm skipping any OTA's from USCC at this point. I'd rather wait for xda community than USCC.
http://www.facebook.com/USCellular/posts/173189566049534 - the facebook page with the info (with a lot of mad ppl)

It's easy to hate USCC but you have to remember thay they've, untill recently with their new belief project, really been primarily a business company. It didn't matter to them that they had older phones or whatever as long as they could make sure that the services they were providing were reliable on a business level. Still annoying though d= but I think they're getting better.. at least we're getting the update..

am I the only one not really bothered by the release date? I got the PnP running with voodoo and it's working pretty well for me. I cant imagine it could get that much faster. 2.2 is supposed to be pretty fast but I'm not at all disappointed with the performance right now.

ICS for the thunderbolt?

With all the discussion about IcS next week I think it will be interesting to ask here.Will Verizon ever give us it officially and what dev will give us the first functional port?
Sent from my Cyanogen Thunderbolt.

Will HTC/VZW give it to us? Absolutely not. We barely got Gingerbread..technically speaking we haven't even received an official GB yet as the OTA was pulled back. However, I am very excited for CyanogenMod as the Thunderbolt will most likely receive ICS this way. I've been on Sense since the beginning but will def be moving over to Cyanogen once ICS is released.

i'm willing to bet that TeamBamf will have a mod of ICS as well.

Yea thats what I was thinking. Verizon will leave us out in the wind and BAMF or some Cyanogen build will be the first. How long are you guys thinking? My eris had Froyo within a few hours of the source being released. I'm hoping with some of our wonderful devs we can see timing like that again that was awesome.

Rarely, if ever, does an Android phone get more than one version upgrade from the manufacturer.

Bye bye thunderbolt I will be getting the prime....lol we had official gb for two days

Okay couple things... Hell no VZW HTC don't care about bolt anymore... Like someone said, we haven't even gotten our hands on official gingerbread... They broke yet another ota.
Devs will get ICS, seems like some parts of ICS would need a "dual-core" but i don't really think that that is anything more than a stigma

Agreed wired, but maybe we will get lucky like we did on the og incredible. Froyo upgrade and gingerbread. Could happen! (although not likely)

I know that teh Haxxor said that he should have ICS built into his ROM by the end of the year. With how much this update is adding I wouldn't expect it anytime soon.

4G and single core will keep all those dreams of OTA from coming true.

Android phones are suppose to get updates for 18 months from release. I should hope we get the update although god knows they will take their sweet time.

Eh Not Really Worried. I'm sure Cyanogen will get it done. Hopefully before i move onto the Vigor

If that were the case Kyocera would have to update the Zio since it's only 13 months old...
Google would like manufacturers to update up to 18 months, but some phones are simply forgotten. My phone has only had 1 firmware update since it's release. Donut 1.6 > Froyo 2.2.1

Yes, maybe patch/bug updates for 18 months. Nothing says they have to do full version upgrades.

The new liquid smooth rom has ics on it. You just have to switch to it from the liquid settings.

That's just a launcher that mimics ICS made by syndicate apps on liquids thunderbread rom.

The OG Droid came with 2.0 and they got 2.1 and 2.2.

well first HTC has to make a custom version of it.. then verizon has to load it up with all the bloat.. so it would most likely take a long time if it ever does happen

Root and CM8 should do the trick.

Google Confirms Most Gingerbread Devices Will Receive Ice Cream Sandwich

ice cream sandwich
after reading gingerbread OTA update removed, i'm only wish they will release ice cream sandwich for our t-bolt

if google is going to continue with all these silly names why not use something like " sexual chocolate "?

I could be wrong on this, but I don't think its really up to Google on what non nexus phones get updates. Verizon probably won't update the tbolt because they want us to buy the latest and greatest.

The TB is a Froyo device, not GB.
We'll get upgraded to GB.... but the likeliness that we'll get upgraded (officially anyhow) to ICS is close to 0.
Of course, we'll mostly all be running some flavor of ICS the day after its available to the ROM developers

what this have to do with the thunderbolt tho...lol this phone not even on GB. I cant wait for the nexus so I can dump this phone like what htc and vzw is doing.

I don't understand the rush to dump the tbolt... It's not like its obsolete all of a sudden.

Yea. Its annoying. On one hand Google makes them promise to provide upgrades for 18 months from launch of a phone. Then the providers are allowed to sit around and do nothing.

I don't get alot of you. ICS will be on the Thunderbolt as soon as the devs have some time to port it over. Hell Im running GB on my old G1 and official developement stopped on that back at 1.6. If you are here more than likely you are running some sort of custom rom and will be able to upgrade to ICS. Most people that really care about the latest greatest software for their device are Rooting, flashing, and reflashing every couple of weeks to new builds. For those that say that the TB isn't a GB device the official GB rom released a long time ago. I wouldn't hold my breath on the official ICS builds but by god stop your *****ing about it. If its not already rooted with S-off get it done now. Root that ***** overclock and put some life back into that 8 month old device. If you really want to have the newest hardware you will be buying a new phone every 3 months. This was the first 4G LTE phone on Verizon and so far it has made me happy. I have been running CM7 on it since the early alpha days and by God I will run CM9 on it as soon as the alpha drops. I've never been scared to try new roms.

I wouldn't bank on Verizon to update it either, but deva will be cooking.
Verizon has no incentive to upgrade the software anyways, why would they? You already bought the device and they've your money

Root it. Customize it. Curb battery consumption. Get the latest for it. Been running gingerbread for like 3 months and this thing flies. ICS will be released in the sweetest of custom roms as soon as it officially drops so just hold tight. Verizon and Google will never update this ***** again, look what happened with the official gb? Released and pulled. They want their money and for you to update to fhe newest. They want you mad at them so you spend the outright cash. That's why i assume you're all a part of this amazing community. The customization and time that goes into cooking a rom is amazing and what can be ported and ran on these phones is insane. Ive come from the first Treos and every other god-awful windows mobile phone. Android is amazing and the developer community is very sharing. Make your phone the way you want it everyday so that you arent that retard *****ing about lag and freezes.
Donate and appreciate *****es.
