C'Mon don't be so rude
Polite answer - if you're getting impatient try the ICS Alpha ROMs
No one knows when the official OTA is going to come out exactly, so be patient or try out the Alphas...

so according to his twitter feed the samsung servers are giving information about ICS, he isnt answering questions though or getting into details, kind of disappointing

Well the Nexus is out now, so it shouldn't be too long. Sometime before Xmas I would imagine.

back when i had an x10 there was a website that would show firmwares being uploaded by sony ericsson for ota updates. They were usually available within a few days, so im hoping its the same case here.

Let us wait for OTA... Now I am enjoying with Kwiboo's ICS V3...

I am thinking 1st to 2nd week of December. I think Google and Samsung wants to release the Galaxy Nexus first in the US before they update the Nexus S.

It's for sure they'll hold back any OTA update until the U.S. release of the Galaxy Nexus. But I want it as soon as possible! I don't understand why some people flash ICS roms with no wifi for example, when the official update is so close.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

Why is it for sure? Unless you have inside info that nobody else does. Besides the US release of the Nexus won't impact sales any because the nexus s isn't on Verizon anyways.

before we know that, we'll probably have to know when GNex is gonna be release in USA

Flodb just so you know I am running koushs rom and everything including wifi is working just fine! It also has wallet included and working. I was in all your boats waiting and wondering but I said what the hell and rooted my ns and got me some ics and love the change and hope u guys do too!

Ok, even if everything is working just fine, it doesn't really mean it doesn't have some problems. That's why an official update is better than an "alpha"/"beta" rom.
Besides, this is the reason why you buy a Nexus S in the first place, for updates. After the OTA, it's custom rom all the way
EDIT: @Jeff Dunn: almost forgot, it makes sense to release the update AFTER the phone that is supposed to be the new android flagship. And it doesn't matter that the Nexus S isn't available on verizon. You know, there are other countries outside the US... but nevermind.
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium

But it has been released outside the US already. Which kinda invalidates your point. Regardless though we will see it when we see it. Hopefully sooner rather than later.

Gingerbread for Infuse

I am looking into upgrading to the infuse, but I'm a bit leary at this point. What is the status of the GB ROMs? Is there a stable version at this point? Thanks and I apologize if this has been asked already.
A few if you look in the development section, and there will likely be more once GB is officially released to the infuse later this month(if you believe AT&T).

Infused v2 is quite stable - it's missing HDMI and the data speeds are a little wonky (It will likely remain this way until AT&T releases GB), but it's the daily driver for a lot of people.
CM7 is less stable - however it's the daily driver for a lot of people. Most of the known issues are pretty clearly spelled out.
nopcodex90 and h8rift have ROMs in progress. nop is doing final polish-up (he was going to release a beta but decided against it after seeing the Infused v2 threads go downhill), h8rift is waiting until after AT&T GB is released.
Thanks for the responses, I really appreciate it

The GS2 should be released in 2-3 weeks. If you have an upgrade due you may want to consider waiting. It will be released with GB.

The unit i played woth was indeed no keyboard...the samsung guy said the untis you are seeing with keyboards are NOT S2 phones...other variants.
It had capacitave buttons only...no big apple style home button. It was 4.3" ....barely noticeably smaller than the infuse.
I have been looking for an app or way to figure out which processor is in it with no luck so far.

I am questioning myself how long Google would work on the final ICS update for the GSM Nexus S.
I hope between a few days and a week...
What do you think how long it would take?

Well, NS is just not important anymore to Google. So it's not surprising they're not investing more time and money in it.
Probably a stable version will come, sometimes towards the end of the month. Your guess is as good as mine.
I sure as hell would like to know! I can't find any News about it.

[Confirmed] Skyrocket will receive ICS this Summer

Lets just say I have an...informator. Anyway, I texted him and asked if he knew when ICS was coming for the Skyrocket. He released the skyrocket under his wing. He said not a specific date, but sometime this summer.
So ICS devs, keep deving.
PS.. Cant get him into to trouble, so no more info.
BALLS......
So in other words....when the international one hits. We will see that one ported before AT&T gets around to it. (the international Skyrocket or T mobile variant)

If I had to guess I bet the Prime has one hardware revision, and the galaxy even within the same device branding has multiple. The Windows Phone 7 Samsung Focus had major issues with updates, because Samsung made minor changes between rev 1.3 & 1.4.
As far as the release date for ICS a Samsung employee can just be repeating a rumor they heard, just as well as a non employee
When does samsung start their summer? I'm sure it's not the same months when we start ours.
Just like our Q1 isn't the same as theirs. Oh and the definition of soon between us and them seems to be pretty conflicting too.

Israeli Skyrocket gets updated Mid March 2012 (1st Q ) Maybe we can get code and use it on ATT and maybe not. Rumors and promises appear worthless. It is what it is and will come out someday.

4.2 ROMS

So everyone knows that today was the official announcement of android 4.2 and the devices that will have them pre-installed. How long do you guys think it will take to get a ROM up for the GS3?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Well depends when the source is released then complied and bug tested and posted here. I would say 2 days to 2 months depending how much it has to be tweaked to run right.
Samsung has a headstart probably because of its galaxy nexus series phones,so probably other galaxy series phones will get it fast too?? i would say less than one month from now.SGS 3 is still one of Samsung's flagship models still though. :good:

I agree with tech as soon we can get our hands on it someone will have the success to port it, but it won't be anything like a regular rom until the source is released. I'd say it shouldn't take no more than a few weeks for us to see 4.2

I never really expected this to happen after observing all the work from the devs on it. ICS has always ran kinda wishy washy for me. I mean it works and all, but there are definitely some performance issues and bugs no matter which rom you use. Verizon nor HTC intends to release a shoddy product. It either has to work 100% or not at all. If ICS cant run as well as GB did, then it aint gonna happen.
I wish I had a dollar for all the false rumors that have been posted about ICS, I'd buy Verizon and have enough left over to keep me in booze and hookers for the rest of my life!
I think this is one more dollar in my stash....

If that were the case though, the thunderbolt would've ran well from launch day, which anyone who had one since then will say that it didn't. Originally the battery life was horrendous and had to be fixed by an OTA.

So let's see if I understand this... the OFFICIAL WORD from Verizon AND from HTC is that the Thunderbolt will or will not get ICS and will get it within the next two days or later than that or never.
Does that about cover it? <G>
Honestly, I don't see what all the flap is about? ICS doesn't offer anything I need or want other than (I HOPE!) a better kernel for the Devs to work with.
Meanwhile, NuSense works for me and the BAMF leak works for me if I want ICS and, if I want Gingerbread, Infected ROM works for me and Thunderstick BB works for me along with a bunch of other ROMs I've tried.
Was at Verizon today, Reps informed me there will be no ICS for our phones...Cant say I'm surprised...my upgrade is in January, not going to worry about it .. Can't believe they state we would get the upgrade, then renege ..
If Apple can upgrade their older model Iphones for several years , why can' t our Android phones do the same.. and no I'm not switching..
