I just got my Nexus s and im loving it!
SIM-FREE NEXUS S UK
Baseband version - O9020XXJK8
kernel version - 2.6.35.7-g7f1638a [email protected] #1
build number GRH78
When i go to System update button it says its already up to date
whats the problem?
i really want to update to 4.0.3
THANKS
You will have to update it manually, download the update and use the bootloader.
I tried every ROM with ICS and the battery is draining really fast, i recommend you stick to GB, and wait for ICS to mature.
Battery drain is the reason Google stopped the OTA update

And don't worry about bad battery life in ICS. It's a myth.

Myth? Just because u don't have that bug doesn't mean it's not there. After the OTA update my battery lasted for 6 hours max, even after clean install of stock ICS I couldn't get more than 8-9 hours while disabling some apps.

This question is towards those who have used xboarder56 or doniqcc roms, which doesn't update the baseband.
Have you noticed any improvements in GPS? Battery?
Are you sure they didn't include the be baseband? I'm on xboarders now.. Whats the old base band and whats the new.ill check my settings info
old baseband should say Mar 27 the new one which i belive the only way to get it right now is to use the LG updater is July 15. I don't think there is away to flash just the baseband yet. Don't quote me but i am pretty sure if you want the new baseband you will have to update using the LG updater.

And thats what I am asking, if anyone using those new roms noticed a change in GPS/Battery?
This question is not for those who used LG updater.

Running 1.0 with old baseband. Zero improvement to battery and no help with GPS.

I got the update through the lg updater and I can tell you that is instant lock.

In fact I was just about to reflash my Stock Froyo backup as I was getting better GPS and Battery with former pre-upgrade arrangement. Granted the udpate runs very smooth, but if it does not improve my battery life I will just as soon return to Froyo and wait for the official OTA.
With that said, if there was a way to flash the baseband, is the thinking that this will improve batery and GPS.
I can tell you the Battery life on this GB release is WAY better than any other leaked/CM7 rom. I can easily squeeze more than a day out of this GB if i configure things differently. GPS on the other hand is like 2/3secs or instant lock. ALL other roms and Froyo i can never get a lock. Takes about 2-3mins if lucky and i kid you not.

Agree, no improvement... Waiting top flash the baseband when available. If not I'm flashing the real one..lol
It's been a while when we receive an ota for our nexus s. I was surprised that older version of ics is running much smoother than than the new ones and to be precised its much more stable than our own nexus s ics. That been hammered by bugs lately that cause google to temporarily pulled the update for our phones. We hope google can fix the issues about android os bugs that minimize our phone batteries and the performance of our phone. Because of this instability issues i recoved my old back up and running smooth again with it. My rom is kang dec142011 and my kernel that giving my long battery life and pretty snappy performance is seuv alpha13b btw.
For me, everything in 4.0.3 is much smoother and less buggy. The only problem for me seems to be the battery bug.
I can't say I agree with you. The builds of 4.0.3 that I've tried have all been faster and less buggy than any of the 4.0.1 builds I ran.
I'm on a 9020a and the 4.0.1. seems to be much better. Doing a nandroid backup of 4.0.3 and reverting.

Give Eugene's 3.0.13 stock kernel a try, smoothest I've tried and there aren't any bugs I can find. Only thing is Voodoo hasn't been updated to work with it yet. I haven't tested the battery life.

It came over the air already, starting on December 16th but was only available for about 3 Days because of the battery drainage bug some people seem to have with ICS. I just updated manually to ICS and it works like a charm, could be more fluently but my Battery is currently on 60% and is already running 1Day,22 Hours.
So wait until Google Pushes a new Update or update manually.
No Official word when it will come, though.
Where did you get that update you applied manually? I have ICS, too - but I flashed a custom rom. Got a link?
yeah, how in dog doo do I update manually. I see no threads on such a thing.
Hi guys,
I am a total n00b here and I pretty much upgraded my i727r last month when Rogers released the official version. I was getting roughly 12-14hr of battery life at when I was using 2.3.5/6 (I dont remember the version/official Rogers). Ever since I upgraded I am getting 6hr of battery life which in my opinion is unacceptable, I simply cannot function with this phone. So my questions is the following is there a way for me to roll back?
I was reading this thread and it doesnt mention if this is for Gingerbread or ICS.
THE ODIN THREAD :: Return to stock, fix soft brick :: 11/13: Rogers TAR!
I am wondering if I do decide to keep ICS and load some custom roms for example:
[ROM] SKYICS 4.2E-17(ULCE2) 6/18/12--- Amazing battery.CRT OFF!!!!!
It mentions that my phone must be rooted but ever since I upgraded to ICS it removed my root I initially did. I dont see how to root ICS version of the i727r everything I see is for gingerbread. Could someone also help me find that link or give me a step by step how to root my i727r running ICS.
Thank you,
Go with Sky ... I was getting 25 hours on light use.
First off, check your installed programs. There are MANY out there that with ICS installed automatically turn on your GPS. This would be a prime example of why your getting such bad battery life.
Secondly make sure of your OS version. Be that 4.0.3 or 4.0.4 or what ever it is. You may need to re odin the install.
I would say do a factory reset and reflash via keys of you don't want to flash cmw and run an ics ROM.
Went back to stock cause I thought I was having hard ware issues and was able to get much better battery life then you.
Decided on sky ics for MHL support as aokp and CM9 do not support and have found this ROM to have the best battery life.
Also find sky ics to be just as good if not better then when I was running GB (mhx 3.1 final)... No turning back now
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727R running SKY-ICS 4.2F-6
If you dont like tinkering with CM9/AOKP I found that SkyICS was pretty good for battery use.

This is what I wrote about battery life on another thread. :good:
i think that is not the reason, i got 35+ hours every charge cycle . i am on GB 2.36 nexus mod and with faux123 kernel. that is the best battery life kernel i have found .

I would install "OS Monitor" and try to find out what is draining all your battery. ICS has better battery life. It is the the OS, it is something with one of your apps that's not playing nice with ICS. You might even have the same problem with Gingerbread if you return to it because the app just doesn't work well on the Skyrocket.
I just found an interesting one today with OS monitor. Homerun Battle 2...leeches juice from my Skyrocket every 2 seconds. Had to remove it.
Thanks for the help guys,
I think I am going to give SKYICS a try. Especially since I have my SG2 from Bell here at work so if I brick my phone (knock on wood) I will have a backup phone just in case.
The only thing I am wondering is how do I root my phone, most guides are considering I am on Gingerbread and not ICS.
My goal is to follow the following instructions:
[ROM] SKYICS 4.2E-17(ULCE2) 6/18/12--- Amazing battery.CRT OFF!!!!!
Once again guys thanks for the help,
install CM9 man, it's incredible. Follow these instructions but instead of using their Alpha ROM use the nightly in the second link...

Is the procedure to root ICS the same like Gingerbread? The only thing I find is how to root, Gingerbread.
This is literally 4 threads down from your post. You gotta look at least a little harder man...

I am sorry but liek I mentioned I am a n00b in that thread I only see a flashing the ROM, does that mean the ROM is rooted already?

It should work on the official AT&T release from what I read a few minutes ago. Still waiting for my update to complete to confirm.
Hi all,
After owning a One S for nearly 2 years now, my battery drain problems get worse and worse. Before it was updated to JB, the battery life was much better, but I haven't had much luck with either Sense JB or CM 10.
I thought I'd try an ICS ROM to get me through to June (when I can upgrade), but can't find CM 9 for the One S on the CM website - can anyone advise which ROM to install?
Thanks

The ICS rom's are all listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789812. The problem as you say will be download links, if you like sense try viper 1.2.1, that link still works. From my experience the sense rom's have much better battery management than AOSP. Or you could completely go back to stock ICS/JB using an RUU. For the record, the best battery life I've had on this phone is with MaximusHD. Also it could be that there is a problem with the battery and the ROM won't make a difference.
