Hey all I just have a quick question about the android version on my nexus.
I have only bought the phone today and under version it says 2.3.1
I have tried to update with the ota option as there must be a newer version out there but it says I am upto date?
Its a GSM UK handset.

It might take a while for the phone to receive an OTA notification. It should come soon.

Thanks for the reply,
Should there not be an option for me to manually check and then it get downloaded rather than waiting for an ota notification. 2.3.1 seems very old compared to the latest version now.

You can, of course, update manually (without root/unlocked BL) with the files from this sticky. Just make sure you choose the correct version number.

Is there any downside to manually updating via the file on Google's site vs getting the OTA updates?
Is there no difference at all? Does it make more sense to wait for the OTA?

None at all. It is the exact same patch being applied both ways.
Just wondered if there was a way in which I could force an update? I've had to revert back to stock firmware and am currently on 2.3.1. Ive tried the CHECKIN method but nothing happened. Any suggestions guys?
you can manually push the update through recovery located here:

Nope..
Do look for the thread titled '2.3.3 link' though. It's rather easy to apply it manually.

Thanks guys
I have done that method before but I think it screwed up my mms hence I would rather receive it OTA just incase. Are they still pushing out the 2.3.2 update for us that are yet to receive 2.3.3?

Probably not. They would probably send you the version that goes from whatever you're on to 2.3.3 since the Android 2.3.3 URL thread has like three different versions.
The alternative is to flash a custom ROM such as CM7, Axura, GingerS, MoDaCo which features 2.3.3 (unsure about GingerS)
I still don't get the 2.3.3 OTA either. Since I had some problem when I was using N1 and tried to update it manually, I decide to wait for OTA in my NS. I am curious why it can take so long time to push out an OTA?
Two reasons: network strain and damage control in the event of Problems.
I'm waiting for the OTA to come through to my other halves new NS which we got yesterday to update from 2.3.1 to either 2.3.2 or better still 2.3.3 but, guess it ain't happening any time soon :-(

Force update in post #2 that I linked. This is the same file you would get from the OTA. All the OTA does is bring a dialog box saying its available for you and it goes to that link. The link was achieved using aLogCat. It's directly from *.google.com

how to force update
Picked up my NS on saturday (so it should be running 2.3.1 right?) Anyway when I go into settings-about phone-system update it says i have latest version. I am fairly confident this is not so. So how do I force update to my NS?

Search for the thread titled '2.3.3 link' and do it manually or wait until you get it pushed down to you. There it's no way to force it OTA (over-the-air)

Go to development and use the 2.3.3 restore with root. Real easy

No offense to the OP, but I find it very odd that people buy a "pure Google experience" android device then manage to forget to use Google.

Hi,
I have the Rogers version of the i727 and it has no option, in any menus, to check if ota update are available.
But
I found this trick on another website.
Dial *#*#checkin#*#* (checkin=2432546)
You will receive a notification telling you that the checkin succeeded.
Currently there is no update for i727r (rogers version)

That's probably not gonna work because running the CHECKIN will connect you to the Google Servers. Our updates will need to go through Rogers so they can add their bloatware and crap and sent out by Rogers to our IMEIs.
As the SkyRocket update has been sent out (and since they're exactly the same model minus the R), that means its ready but hasn't yet been blasphemized by Rogers yet.
That command used to work wonders with my good ol' Nexus One.
But..
Then again... I could be wrong.
I have the same problem, no update menu no where...i also dont want to root my phone before ICS
I would assume that the update would be done through kies. Kind of annoying I know.

Thats what i though too, until i saw kies only updates the kernel and has no way of updating and/or formating the OS

i have the same phone with the same problem.....any updates?
Rogers has never been very keen with updates. As far as Rogers is concerned updating the software on a phone causes too many problems.
I used to have a Nokia E71 for 3 years and Rogers never made a single update available even though dozens had been published by Nokia.
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.
Sent from my GT-I5800
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...

Short answer:
Officially (at this moment),: NO - GingerBread is last update (versions V20 and V21) - full version list: http://wittgenstein.homeserver.com/P920/list.php?
Non-officially (at this moment) YES, there's an ICS version (V30) ported from another LG model (the korean version of Optimus LGP920) thanks to xbsall. - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956347
