Google is withholding the update until people stop making threads asking when its coming, so apparently it will be out never.
When people actually search before posting the same topic at least once a day
Or when ppl like all of us stop bumping these topics

It just boggles my mind that someone buys a NEXUS device knowing (or at least I would assume/hope so) that Google will support the **** out of it (just like they did and to and extent still do for the N1). Why would you even remotely think that it wouldn't get the first real update available to it since it was released?
Relax buddy. google doesnt keep thier ears on waiting for our take on it.. They will do it when they need it.. i apparantly needed a new which would have leaked on the relase to Nexus s.. so keep your chin up and lets talk ICS

just read an artical on androidcentral that the htc google nexus one got android 2.3.6.
In the meantime nexus s 4G got andorid 2.3.7 and the normal nexus s is still n 2.3.4
why do they forget this device where there are still lott of bugs with wifi and keeping connection with google.
Hopefully this will better with ics
Will the NS even get ICS? :/

if the nexus even got gingerbread and now 2.3.6 then the ns would get ics or i will never buy a nexus phone again
I'm really pissed at this too! If they were to give an explanation, fine, but there ain't nothing been said!
Sent from my Nexus S
I dont think the nexus one will not because google doses not want to but b/c of the hardware its too outdated it has little memory, ram etc so it will be buggy and laggy and goovle would prefer a much smoother experience I heard once it got gingerbread it was acting slow, nexus prime 4 me : D
Sent from my HTC Glacier using Tapatalk
2.3.6 was a bug fix for a bug the original Nexus S doesn't have, same with 2.3.5. 2.3.7 on the other hand brought Google Wallet which is Sprint Exclusive and since i9020t has GSM bands and not CDMA and can therefore not run on Sprint's network we don't get it.
The 2.3.6 update stared rolling out to Nexus S devices on September 2nd. From what I've read, it is mainly to fix the search button bug that has been affecting some NSs. So far I think only Canadian NSs have received the update, though.
I wouldn't be so upset that you're not receiving the update though because there are reports that it kills tethering and portable hotspot.
http://thisismynext.com/2011/09/02/...ate-confirmed-rolling-out-tethering-problems/
I wouldn't be too worried about ice cream sandwich. Google wants the open handset alliance to commit to 18 months of updates for all devices. (I suppose this would be 18 months from launch, rather than 18 months from whenever you happened to buy it.) I can't image them not updating a pure google phone for even 12 months. I wouldn't be surprised if the n1 got it, too.

Says the guy who is logical and not knee jerking. Why is everyone up in arms about not getting an update the targeted bug fixes NOT for their device? Outside of 2.3.7 you're not missing anything.
Wallet was always going to be a Sprint exclusive launch since it was announced.
If you want the latest build Google provides the binaries, source and instructions to build an AOSP rom. It's simple and you can easily always be as up to date as you would like.

Offtopic but the shift doesn't even have gb source code when our ota was released a while ago, and they have been giving us bs excuses for months.

N1 was available on At&t (a compatible device, never through At&t) only for a very short time. The device that was always available is for T-Mobile.

I don't see any problem here. My 2.3.4 running i9023 is working just fine, without any search/tethering/reception/other problems, so I guess those fixes don't apply to my device
Maybe device specific fixes should have some kind of unique name? Like 2.3.4a?
If anyone is here to be blamed, I would point out Samsung for making at least 4 different devices named Nexus S with their own issues i9023 is not even anywhere officially listed as SNS...
Oh, and stock GB on N1 was not even close to be as good as on SNS. 2 second wait before call answer anyone?
Good day gentlemen
For the people with the original nexus s complaining...I feel you cause I have it myself. Yes at first I was pissed of about not getting updates. But after doing some research I finally realized we have in all the nexus versions have the perfect built. Update 2.3.5 brings better 4G reception for sprint users. I also wanted 4G but not noticing my phone does run hsdpa even though it says 3G. Update 2.3.6 brought voice search fixes. That we don't need. And now 2.3.7 it is not googles fault they wanted google wallet to get pushed through but T-Mobile has a deal with ISIS another form of mobile payment. So yes I understand your frustrations. But know it is not googles fault its your carriers like myself T-Mobile. And which I think tmo is no longer running the show but at&t. So be happy with your original nexus s it is the perfect built among others.
And I'm a proud user of my nexus s running stock 2.3.4 rooted

Be prepared to get ICS prime ))) We dont need simply 2.X.X )))
Idk if anyone's posted THIS yet but...supposadley ICS for the Nexus S will be revealed that day? Either that or maybe they'll unveil the Nexus Prime running ICS. The live stream will only (obviously) be there the day of (the 18th)...but for now, an awesome giant ICS-Android!
Most likely the nexus prime and ICS.

Could someone explain to me, why the next nexus comes from Samsung? I thought Google wanted to change the producer for the nexus every year.
I as I'm sure all of u would love to ics sooner rather than later. I can't help but think about how Apple handles their updates though. The 4S released today running ios5. However ios5 was available Wednesday, two days before the 4S was launched. For me, if this was going to happen with Android and ics I would be over the moon! It's unlikely but hey, we can live in hope eh?

Uh wut? Nexus ICS alphas have been floating around for weeks.
The evo is always going to have more roms available at any given time, since there's a ton of devs working on that phone... And more options because of Sense.
First of all the things we have are sdk ports so they don't count. Second I would rather have a rom with half busted stuff than nothing like we do now. Wahh it sucks.

I don't think that someone has a decent working ICS right now.
But come on, don't start a ton of new threads just to aks why there's no ics. I know it's exciting but after all it's just ICS xD
And it's just a max. of 1 month waiting time 'till the ota gets out. I would go so far to say that no one of us will die from waiting
Max one month is a huge overstatement. It will be a miracle on xda street if we get an ota in a month. Mark my words.

ICS Build from source. May not be perfect but something to flash. Think primarily for I9020T, use at own risk. Don't know if someones shared this already but sorry if someone did.

Cool let me know I actually just got the s2 from a friend for 150 and no contract i couldn't pass it up lol
I just moved to one of these from a HTC Incredible I've been running ICS on since January and I have to say, it's hard to go back to GB, but the phone is just so much better and it's the only sub 4" phone that has a dual core procesor and is reasonably priced out of contract. Anyways, hoping for ICS sooner rather than later!
ICS will be out tonight for the Galaxy S 2 ...Anyone here how long it will be until the Blaze is updated to ICS?
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-3029
"Samsung and T-Mobile plan to release a software update for the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G that updates the device software to Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich). The dates for this future update are TBD, but this document will be updated when details become available."
Hope to see this updated soon!

I'm looking forward for the source to drop. Since the T989 uses the same general chipsets we do, I'm hoping the source will build and work for our phones (with a little coercion). It's amazing how little official msm8660 stuff there is out there.
I swear, finding source, info, etc on this stupid little phone has been a labor of love, and I run into dead ends everywhere I go :-(

Its expected to release at the press conference on 29th October

It's a good bet we will get it eventually. The Prime was released with Honeycomb, but later got ICS and JellyBean.
The original Transformer isn't going to get any more updates after ICS though.
If we are supposed to get it, we'll get it early looking at asus previous record of updates

People were asking about Windows 8 before Vista was even officially announced. It's pretty normal.. And utterly pointless.
Mostly new nexus devices are released with new versions.
The LG nexus 4 is going to be releasing for sure.

Yeah, ASUS sends to be light years ahead of Samsung in this regard ( based on my experience with the epic 4g slider)

The last update really disappointed a lot of users.
So it's only human to hope for some kind of progressive fix.
Poor ASUS can't get somethings right so why expect some magic on the next incarnation.
I remember what we used to say about every new version Windows "plug and pray"
