www.lgforum.com/forum/boards/carrie...artphonegeek-dot-dot-dot-its-another-week-and
take the info with a grain of salt and for whatever it's worth. who really knows.
Ya there's already a thread about this

that it's 2.3.3 rather than 2.3.4?
and, that the info is coming from an lg source directly?
i've been on this forum all day and i've not seen that reported here.
sorry if i missed it.
Well you weren't to specific on what you were referencing

i referenced the specific info *near* the bottom of the thread. it was posted about an hour ago.
which thread on xda were you referring to?
I honestly don't care if it's 2.3.3 or 2.3.4, I just want them to release something with fixed drivers already so we can use them.
All the great developers here will upgrade their roms to 2.3.4 anyway, all we need are the bug fixes
useless rumors. back in april they said "coming soon", it's almost july
fyi
first it doesnt surprise me that they are releasing an outdated os again i mean they are only a million dollar company not big like cyanogen .
2nd is smartphonegeek although maybe hes trying to be helpful hasnt given us 1 bit of correct info yet. so although this is probably true im putting no faith in anything he says anymore unfortunately.
We all knew it was 2.3.3 to begin with. No surprises there.
Plus 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 aren't that different. I run CM7 which has 2.3.4 and honestly it is just a number.
I think the only phones running 2.3.4 are the Nexus Phones. The Sensation, Galaxy S2, and G2x will all be at 2.3.3
Although I did see an unofficial 2.3.4 update for the Samsung Galaxy S, it is nothing official.
Lets just hope that this LG update doesn't count GB for future upgrades, as most manufactures will provide at least a few upgrades to the OS. I'd be happy with an official 2.4 Ice Cream update though.
The sensation runs 2.3.3

A question
If I have already installed the leaked 2.3.3 when the ota rolls out will it download that for me since I"m already showing 2.3.3 on my settings or will I have to use Nandroid , reset to original and then get the update?
2.3.4 have two major changes:
1. video support on Gtalk
2. IPv6 support
As long as the changes would take care of the rebooting and battery issues. Last night I unplugged at 100%, went to sleep and this morning battery was dead
I"m just ready for the darn update to get this thing running as it should. and since I"m not a T-Mo customer I cant return it to T-Mo.

either that or keep your phone rooted and wait for someone to compile a stock/rooted version that you can install. it usually only takes one of those guys a few hours after they get the release... thats the way I did it with my N1 after I rooted it.

Because the leaked GB update is horrible. Of all the roms in this forum, THAT unofficial GB leak was the worst. Ever 4 hours the phone would be found turned off in my pocket. It would die on a charger.
If you want a working phone, get that crap off of there. Even EaglesBlood version based on the leak caused me the same issues.
Flash Eaglesblood Froyo edition or CM7.1 RC1. I'd say those are your two best options right now.
I just received my second hand G2X in mint condition running 2.2. I immediately unlocked it for use in Thailand. So far I can see no screen bleed, no reboots (I've only had it for a few hours) and it seems to be working very well. Since Google updates all the Google apps to be the same ones as Gingerbread, is there any reason to update the phone to Gingerbread at this time? I would have to risk the updater or use the pre-rooted update.zip with the old baseband. I have a feeling this is a preliminary update and another one will be coming later. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

I updated mine and If I had no reboots to begin with I probably would have waited until the official final update. You dont need the updated baseband for anything really, you can do just as much and still root froyo.

Thanks for the input. Already rooted and bloat frozen. The only app I have that won't work is "Boot Control." It has root permission but when I tell it to shutdown the phone it doesn't do anything. Does anyone know a shutdown, reboot app that works on the G2X with rooted Froyo. So far in the five hours I have been testing it out I am quite happy with the amazing speed and graphics. I am migrating from a Nexus One.

I have experienced a noticeable increase in battery life. My G2x was great with froyo, and now it is even better with the improved battery life using GB. i used the LG updater and had no issues. It was very easy. I have no idea if the new basebands will help you. Mileage will vary.
I haven't seen or heard about when the OTA ICS updates will resume. Maybe I'm not looking in just the right places, but all of my searches (web & xda) don't have any new information.
Has anybody heard about when the updates will resume? I have the i9020a, but I guess I'm asking more generally.

What makes you think ICS OTA was stopped ?
I went back to GB for a day 3 weeks ago and the notifiaction to update to ICS keeps coming and annoying me ... One of the causes I revert back to ICS was the annoying update notification...
PS:My phone is I9020T BTW
Just haven't received any notification to update, and all the news I could find said it had been paused a few weeks ago but there was nothing new or recent saying that the pause was done with. At least that I could find.
That's because you have i9020T.
Google haven't release ICS update for I9020A yet.

If that's the case, I feel better about the lack of an update. So then it's a waiting game at this point.
Thanks.
i'm on i9023 and even i havent got it.. there hasnt been any news since they stopped the ota.. even am wondering if we'll ever see a official update..
i heard some rumor that Google has stop OTA temporarily due some bug ???
I heard it was because of battery issues. True or not don't know, but im guessing there's probably more to it than that. Been waiting along time for it tho.
Nexus s 4g completely stock. 2-5 fC's a day. Lets get this show on the road.
Well...

I've been continuing to look around online to see what I could find, and I've stumbled across a seemingly useful thread on the Google Mobile Help Forum. I haven't made 8-10 posts on XDA yet, so I cannot provide an outside link here. I'm sure I could PM it to anybody who asks.
To sum up what I've found, it looks like they're still collecting data about the issues that users are having with the ICS update on the Nexus S. A Google employee provided links on where to report specific issues, which would include the battery issue that you had mentioned.
However, it still doesn't quell any concern about when they're going to have those issues corrected, or how much progress they have made so far.
Why wait ?
Don't wait for the OTA, root your phone and install any one of the amazing choice of developer ICS ROM's to your phone
I chose the ICS version by Peter Alfonso http://download.peteralfonso.com/crespo/rom
(in tandem with Eugene's Speedy Kernel) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401455
and it's brilliant !
Haven't had one FC in three weeks of use and battery life is astounding
Go for it, it's easy to install and if you don't like you can simply revert back to your current ROM (so long as you used ROM Manager and made a backup of course)
Root is the way to go.
ICS is having battery problems. Go with a custom as mentioned above. I went with the [ROM][25-01-12][AOSP][4.0.3] Codename Android 1.2.0|Fully Open Source and its amazing!

Or just compile it yourself. The code is there.

Best ICS ROM
I have been using Crossbones after testing out another well known rom. Crossbones seems to have the magic. The developer is very concerned with stability and only adds features if it works well. No random crashes and few bugs. But he rightly labels his current build a beta which I respect. Others are labeling their betas, stable builds. If you are looking for a good rom with lots of potential check this one out. Oh and BTW great battery life.
Thank you all for your suggestions.
I used to flash ROMs on my Captivate, and kept my Nexus S as a Google OTA phone. Though, considering this whole ICS mess, I'm considering going the way of the custom ROM on this device too.
I might give it another week or two, and see if anything happens by the start of February.

If you have a linux machine compile it yourself, or pick one of many custom ROM's out in the development section or get mine from my signature, the lightest ICS Rom out there. No battery issues for me, lasts 2 days on medium usage.
Hmm i saw that Google stopped the update on some regions including mine -_- to gather feedback ...
Good ICS ROM
Checkout this ROM, it comes with the kernel in that integrated package.

Don't wait for the OTA update, just flash this awesome ROM and chose the KERNEL that fit your needs !!!
Google it's way behind on ICS
my setup at the moment
CODENAME ANDROID 1.2 | Matrix v15 cfs
I have rooted and tried a couple ice roms but found them not much better. It was at the end of November tho, went back to stock hoping for the ota. I do know that there are some awesome builds out but I don't wanna wipe again just yet but I'm getting close.
I keep getting the update notification on my nexus S, I'm trying to figure out if this ICS upgrade that my phone keeps telling me about is the same with bugs etc or a fixed one...anyone know?
Ok i am coming from NS4G to the skyrocket. Noticed alot of differences. However nothing too hard to overcome. Someone tell me the latest stock us build? Also is there a file that has the names of the partitions like /proc/mtd?

1st update brought the firmware from 2.3.5 to 2.3.6
2nd update brought new radio w/ better reception and fixes the battery meter sticking issue and bluetooth (can't confirm but so far so good).

If you read around you'll find a couple of explanations. The "official" reason the first update (KK1) was pulled was that it was only for certain phones (based on IMEI number), and was not available to everyone. To me it seemed like it was available to everyone at the time so I speculated that there was an issue with the build.
And I never saw an "official" version for the LA3 being pulled, but many speculated that it was for people who didn't receive the KK1 update.
Personally, I just think AT&T sucks at doing OTA updates and their systems get overloaded with people trying to update. I don't find it a coincidence that on the day the LA3 update came out that there was a massive outage in my area for 1-2 hours. People all over my wife's facebook page (I hate fb, don't use it) were complaining that they couldn't make calls or send messages for a couple hours.
I never had an issue getting the UCLA3 update. Initially, I had an issue when trying to go over the air, but once I was on a wifi, it was working. Don't know if it's coincidence, but that's what I did when it was available.
I'm still waiting anxiously for ICS, but hold no faith that it'll be in a timely manner. I came to the Skyrocket from the Infuze because, well, they never could get a GB official release (and if they did, I missed it because I stopped following it since getting the SR).
Was hoping to stay away from Samsung because of the delay of releases, but it was the best for the money at the time (January this year).
Hello all. I've got a Galaxy Blaze 4G (duh) currently running UVMB1. Prior to this update it was running UVLH5, rooted, but the phone was annoyingly insistent on updating to UVMB1. Against all better judgement I "upgraded." This made it shut up about the upgrade but of course it eliminates the root, which is pretty annoying as well.
All the "old" instructions on how to root don't seem to work on UVMB1. Honestly I've seen no real benefit from this update and would be perfectly happy running UVLH5, but I don't want it to bug me every single day about the available update.
So it's a simple two pronged question:
1. Has anybody actually rooted UVMB1?
2. Is there a way to make UVLH5 shut up about the available update and never notify, bug, pester, or otherwise make a basket case out of itself regarding said available update to UVMB1? I feel like there has to be, I'm just missing it somewhere.
Thanks in advance!
