I had ICS b4 but just to experiment i install 2.3.3 and now there is not OTA to 2.3.6 ... i remember that b4 when i installed 2.3.3 i received the 2.3.6 OTA almost instantly .. also i saw the news that google turned OTA's off for the nexus is that why i didn't receive the update ?
Nothing to do with google OTA turning off, i'm not actually sure why many people report they aren't receiving 2.3.3 --> 2.3.6 OTA updates though.
In any case, go here and grab your particular 2.3.3 --> 2.3.6 incremental update and you can flash it through stock recovery (no need to wipe anything). Just remember you can't go down a version without root/unlocked bootloader.
Yup did that right after posting here ... after that didn't got the ICS update so just rooted and install stock ics =P
Who said Google stoped anything ????
ICS OTA is stil flowing til this moment ... When I flashed GB back I was annoyed with the notification of ICS OTA jumping infront of me every minute ...
When ICS first dropped i got the notification in about 5 days .. and now i didn't receive GB update nor the ICS update installed manually here.
Got rid of my nexus just before ics came out. no regrets though

I am still on 2.3.5 but I see a lot of discussion about 2.3.6. Is AT&T actively rolling out 2.3.6 OTA or are these leaked builds?
Been out awhile my man early november...and it was OTA not a build
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
So why the F*** wont mine update...I have checked several times since I got the phone on Wednesday, says no update available. Not that it really matters, my phone works perfect, but damn it I gots to have the latest version!
The AT&T 2.3.6 OTA was rolled out in NOV, but AT&T pulled the OTA after a few days (speculation there was a problem with it). If you plan on rooting the I727 Skyrocket, you're better off with 2.3.5 as it is much easier to root than 2.3.6
Ahh, ok. Thanks for the info. I plan to root my phone soon so i can de-bloat and other stuff, but probably wont put on a new ROM quite yet.
Nope no problens at all with it. Att said they only sent the update to people who needed it. But it is actually better then 2.3.5 and fixes voice search. Ive been runing it since it was pushed and i love it ( also was said to have touchscreen improvements) . I would recomend that you flasg a 2.3.6 rom, and flash the kk1 baseband
Since AT&T has pulled the latest 2.3.6 update does anyone know when they will put it back up?
I bought a new nexus s yesterday. It is currently working on android 2.3.3
there's no notification for any updates yet. and the system updates show that the software is "up to date". What should i do?? Is something wrong with the phone if it isn't showing any notifications for updates?? kindly respond soon =)
Try turning on wi-fi and manually checkin by dialing *#*#2432546#*#*

But 2.3.3 isn't the latest update. Shouldn't the phone be giving me notifications to update to the latest available version? like 2.3.6 maybe?
Simply root your phone and choose any rom you like. No need to wait for an update.
I bought my phone 26the December, I kept checking for update never got one then I read post it will only update to latest one since they have stopped it temporary u will either have to root/ do it manually or just wait
Sent from my Nexus S using xda premium
The update strategy of google is really confusing :
No dates, no indication, no explanations why they stopped OTA. The most surprising thing to me is : why stopping 2.3.6 OTA while the problem is about the 4.0.3 version?
Its for a couple of days m8 most people would be hacked of if they had to update there fine every to minutes

easiest solution, and you dont have to wait on anybody.. update manually. there are links to all the android versions, available to the nexus s, posted here in xda. and you dont need root to update an official stock rom with an official stock rom.

Updating manually will solve your problem. Just make sure that the model of is same as your Nexus S since there's 3 types of Nexus S and they all use different radio...

You mean, i doswnload official OTA ICS and flash via recovery, no need to unlock a bootloader?
Sent from my GT-I5800
No need to unlock bootloader if you're flashing stock ROM
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA App
If you want to go stock(no root, no unlocked bootloader, no custom recovery) wouldn't recommend updating to ICS OTA, since there is that battery drain bug, that has yet to be fixed.
Also downgrading back to GB is quite tricky, if not imposible without unlocking the phone.
there's no bug, they just paused it, you can download it from here and just rename it and flash through the stock recovery!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1063664
But why to flash if there is a battery bug for most of people. You got to be lucky.

I have two 9020t updated to 4.0.3 and both are battery bug-free. I had the official update OTA on one and manual update in the other ( missed the OTA because I was tinkering with the first one). I jumped from 2.3.3 to 4.0.3 when I got the OTA
I haven't had a problem

There's a bit more battery consumption,but nothing to worry about...
Just got a Nexus S for school and from what I can tell there is supposed to be an ICS OTA update but its not finding it.
It's currently on 2.3.6 and it doesn't have a SIM (University property, I only get to use it for development) so I'm only on wifi. Does anyone know why it won't update to ICS? I don't want to download the .zip because there are about 10 other people who are in the class and I don't want to try to explain to them how to update.
Its not official out yet as far as I'm aware (I have a nexus s 4g though and am not to sure about the other models...) Have you tried settings/about phone/system update!

Yeah. It says its up to date on 2.3.6. I just thought that ICS was official.
google hasn't pushed the ics update for i9020A
The ICS update for the NEXUS S has been slated for sometime in MARCH. The OTA update is what I'm talking about. —KID ANDROID
Yea google is really slacking with the i9020a OTA... thank goodness for the xda-devs though the roms here are better anyways
According to the Google Announcment they had been halted the ICS update For the Nexus s . Firlst they said ICS update will be on 2011 December 16.But For Some Some reason They had halted the updating processes of the Nexus s
But Their Lot of Unofficial Custom roms If you want to taste the ICS You can try them
I think this will helpful for you
Thanks all. Does anyone know if the ota located here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1395828
is for i9020a and will it receive OTAs in the future?
i m using nexus s i9023 and i already got an update in decmbr..
cant say about i9020a.
If you just bought your Nexus S then updating your handset with something other than the official ota update will void your warranty. I'd just wait till the update comes ota in MARCH which will be 4.0.5 I'm sure it will be worth the wait as I've heard they have fixed everything that was wrong and added a couple new things to it. We've waited this long, what's a couple more weeks. —KID ANDROID
is there anyone out there who successfully took the ota ?????? please pm me..i really need someone who got the ota and is on it now. that has not flashed other modems or roms since taking the ota.......
I am using the stock rom as it came.

I recieved a message from ATT June 25th, about an update. Nothing happened as I'm running cyanowiz. Waiting for a developer to get his hands on ATT skyrocket and make cm9 available. I have no interest in flashing back to stock just to have the new icecream sandwich and the bloatware that comes with it. I like being able to wifi hotspot without changing my plan.
Hey silver, I have an official att I727UCLA3 modem in the phone and haven't gone flash crazy. Took the modem as part of an OTA update.

Umm, why did you bump this, has nothing to do with the OP.
Two, Skyrocket has had CM9 for ages, and is even official with CM9 now.
Does anyone who had a Nexus S which they use on Mobilicity get the OTA?
Sent from my Nexus S using XDA
Has the 4.0.3 been rolled out in Mobilicity in the first place?
I didn't bother waiting. I just flashed over the stock deodexed 4.0.4 rom
my friend who has a nexus s from Mobilicity isn't so savvy about Android versions her phone is still on 2.3.6
I didn't bother waiting I just flashed 4.0.4 from the stock image google posted
My friend got ICS 4.0.4 OTA today on Mobilicity. He was originally on 2.3.6

Forgive my bluntness but why don't you just flash 4.04 since you did 4.03 without issue earlier?
The only reason I'm not is because I had a rather terrible experience last time I was flashing around and was lucky to get my phone back to stock.
