Nexus S 2.3.5 - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I hate that the nexus s and nexus s 4g have such similar names! It leads to questions like the following.
Has the android 2.3.5 update been released for the standard Nexus S? I mean the non 4g one.

ive been wondering the same thing

Yea, I'd like to know the same aswell

No, it was only a fix for the sprint 4g reception issues, nfc and other bugs at this time.

There are some other improvements mentioned that may apply to GSM devices such as the speakerphone fix, enabling the secure element for NFC (Google wallet support), improved wifi connectivity (perhaps not isolated to CDMA devices) and TTY support. The 2.3.5 changes are being pulled into the CM build per a G+ post.
I don't expect an imminent OTA for GSM devices, but some of the AOSP changes (not baseband related) could be helpful for GSM devices.
Edit: Maybe it will OTA at some point in the near future: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16015703&postcount=7

i noticed faster data connection,
i use to get H once in a wile, but now i notice it more, but still most of the time it's 3g
wifi works perfectly no problems
i never had gps issues, my phone always locked with in a second or 2
and with this ROM it does the same thing, it locked my location within 2 seconds
it also uses the new Market
try it, you can always revert back if you don't like it you can always restore your backup
but remember this is still beta

Hard to answer because "out" is rather vague. There are not different Androids for different phones. The main gingerbread code is at version 2.3.5 and can be built for NS or NS4G or many other phones. But it has not been sent by Google to any phones besides NS4G.

I have a NS4G and have not been sent the code from Sprint yet. Shouldn't I have had it already?

I assume you mean the OTA and not the code. If you mean the OTA, it will roll out over several *weeks*. It is flagged by IMEI/ESN - once you are set for an update any subsequent checkin will yield the OTA notificaiton. Until then you will not see it.

[Q] 2.3.3 For NS4G

Thers no 2.3.3 ota for the NS4G maybe the well fix the signal issued cuz i just to have the NSS from T-M sense the day it came out and then the day when the 2.3.4 came out came with a lot of signal issues

I think he saying 2.3.3 might potentially fix bad signal because his GSM version gets worse signal on 2.3.4
Ahh yes, I get it now.

In another post, I wiped and installed 2.3.4 grj06d last night and am going to try it for a while to see if I notice any improvement in performance. That's the version that was installed out of the box. I try to ignore the nag notification to update but it does get annoying. Most of you already know this I assume. Ns4g.
NS4G is only supported in Android since GRJ06D (2.3.4_r0.9). 2.3.3 does not exist for this device.

Yea, we know that. He doesn't have a 4g and probably doesn't know that.

OTA Firmware update UCKH1 released

today I received an Infuse replacement (my old infuse just stopped to connect to data network...) so it was all stock out of the box and it prompted me to update it. It was a 14800KB (ish) download, rebooted, installed it and it is the UCKH1 version.
Hard to tell what new or fixed at this point.

lol. maybe rogers customers have better data speeds on there own network but I doubt it. the Rom has a laggy lock screen and is plagued with the ramdom gingerbread battery drain issue. att = disapointing rogers = fail

Actually I have confirmed that they have all of the same issues as us. Slower HSPA+ speeds than other phones on their network, lockscreen lag, 15fps video recording, no HDMI, probably other crap I'm forgetting. It was just a half baked release on the part of Samsung and Rogers. The issues just aren't as obvious to them because they never experienced the phone without them.

Did any i9020a get the ICS OTA update?

Anyone?
Many i9020t and i9023 get the OTA
But I haven't seen any i9020a get that.
Not yet!

I think I am going to wait since the instructions in the other thread seem to be for i9023 and it seems to be giving signature error for i9020a.

Thanks.
I just found that the ROM was for T-MOBILE(TMO)
Hold on
Because of minor difference between two models, i9020a will need to go through some changes for it to function properly. I heard that if you manually update i9020a with i9020t ROM, you will either get an error or it will kill your reception

A week or a month?

Settle down. It's been one day since Google announced that ICS is rolling out. They said it will be happening over the next month.

Why the i9020a is the last one.(except ns4g)
Maybe because it was the last one to come out...or maybe it is a way to keep from overloading the server. Only other thing I can think is that maybe they are working on a new radio for the att version

Probably a mixture of all these. I have an i9020a and I'm running the neopolitan ROM for now. It's great. I was on stock 2.3.6 with cwm recovery. Just wiped all and flashed it. It kept the bootloader and the radio.
im running the tmo ota on my 9020a with gladosv2.0

The update should come sometime this month. Since thats when google said thats when i9020a will get the ota update. It also depends on where you are.
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA
who needs the ota now when there is so many good roms out there? I think the only advantage to the ota coming out is possibly a new radio that might be better.

It may be this month but Google never said it would be this month. They have never stated when/if the i9020a version is getting ICS. There's a difference between a French website posting false information and Google actually making an announcement. JBQ (from Google) has recently said 4.0.4 is not even finished yet. So I highly doubt 4.0.5 will be released this month before 4.0.4 is finished.

i9020a radio 4.1.1

So I've gotten jelly bean installed on my Nexus S, granted I do have the Sprint i9020a CDMA version, I realize no radio was included, however, I flashed the latest radio that I had and JB doesn't see it, I used the i9020a version from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1784497
Is it just that there is a GSM version of the i9020a(didn't think there was) or is there something i'm missing, never had this problem before when flashing roms. Right now it says baseband "unknown". Which is telling me the ROM is only looking for a GSM radio I take it.

i9020A is gsm (the only diff with i9020T is the 850MHz for 3g). there was never an i9020a cdma version. maybe you;re confusing it with nexus S 4G (D720)?

Oh I see, well no I had read that 19020a was Sprint only, didn't know there was a GSM variant :/
So if I flash an AOSP version over this will it be ok? or should I just wipe and start fresh to be safe?
isn't the i9020a an att gsm phone? OP, remove your battery and tell us what it says on the phone itself. I'm thinking, along with others here, that you have the ns4g (d720).

1st make sure what model you have and flash the proper radio

Well, I did that and everything is good, however for some reason Google Play Music, refuses to see my music, and Settings refuses to see my ringtones, etc from the sdcard partition
edit:yes i did a full factory wipe when I installed as well.
I would start by looking through the thread of the rom you flashed. Sounds like you may just need to fix permissions or possibly wipe & reflash

Edit: Well I've went back to my 4.0.4 version until things get straightened out...to many bugs to work with in these JB ROMS.....

I looked at the website provided and it looks like it is just updating the .apk files. But the website does not specify the security issues for the 4 apps.

I doubt it will "lock" the phone. They are apps to install (.apk). If you are on some unlocked variant of the 3.20 ROM for the phone you should be ok. Just in case, nandroid and recover should the need present itself.

It probably will. This doesn't look like its an update for any based DHD Rom because the update is offered by at&t. The DHD is an international varient of the device
