I am currently on Sprint running an Evo 4g with ICS and had a few questions about the Nexus 4s.Are any of the ICS roms for this fully functional? (4g,camera,video,google wallet) I figured with the ota that went out and got pulled perhaps all of these things work.Also if I buy one used is there any software versions that are not rootable yet?
Thanks

I hate that the nexus s and nexus s 4g have such similar names! It leads to questions like the following.
Has the android 2.3.5 update been released for the standard Nexus S? I mean the non 4g one.

ive been wondering the same thing
Yea, I'd like to know the same aswell
No, it was only a fix for the sprint 4g reception issues, nfc and other bugs at this time.

There are some other improvements mentioned that may apply to GSM devices such as the speakerphone fix, enabling the secure element for NFC (Google wallet support), improved wifi connectivity (perhaps not isolated to CDMA devices) and TTY support. The 2.3.5 changes are being pulled into the CM build per a G+ post.
I don't expect an imminent OTA for GSM devices, but some of the AOSP changes (not baseband related) could be helpful for GSM devices.
Edit: Maybe it will OTA at some point in the near future: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16015703&postcount=7

i noticed faster data connection,
i use to get H once in a wile, but now i notice it more, but still most of the time it's 3g
wifi works perfectly no problems
i never had gps issues, my phone always locked with in a second or 2
and with this ROM it does the same thing, it locked my location within 2 seconds
it also uses the new Market
try it, you can always revert back if you don't like it you can always restore your backup
but remember this is still beta

Hard to answer because "out" is rather vague. There are not different Androids for different phones. The main gingerbread code is at version 2.3.5 and can be built for NS or NS4G or many other phones. But it has not been sent by Google to any phones besides NS4G.

I have a NS4G and have not been sent the code from Sprint yet. Shouldn't I have had it already?

I assume you mean the OTA and not the code. If you mean the OTA, it will roll out over several *weeks*. It is flagged by IMEI/ESN - once you are set for an update any subsequent checkin will yield the OTA notificaiton. Until then you will not see it.

If you flash 2.3.6 for the I9020T you can flash the stock ICS ROM that was uploaded last night for the I9020T. All you need to do then is flash the radio for I9020A and you have fully functioning ICS .

I keep hearing people say that. It seems weird, though, doesn't it? If that's really all it takes, why wouldn't Google have just packaged them together and released it for the I9020A? I'll never understand corporate politics...
they may just have an ota schedule to keep from taxing the servers, or maybe they are working on a different radio for the at&t version. In any case there is a rooted version of the t version without the radio in the development section that works on the a version just fine. I have been using it all afternoon with no problems what so ever.

do you have to be rooted to do that, and if you apply the t-mobile version will at&t and google still send you the real ota?

I don't think you need to be rooted, but you'll need an unlocked bootloader. And no, if you install modified firmware, you won't get future OTAs.
Hey all,
My friend has the Inspire on ATT and is still waiting for his Gingerbread update. He's tried pulling it from the settings menu and no dice. Any ideas? Has ATT pulled the update?
Thanks!

It's my understanding that AT&T doesn't update their older phones. I know I hadn't received an update on mine since the day I got it. That was last August sometime.

Your gonna have to manually update via the RUU posted on HTC.com. Keep in mind that manually updating will wipe the phone. Here's the link:
http://www.htc.com/us/support/inspire-att/downloads#420
It is the second from the top. Just follow the directions on that page for applying the update.

Be aware that there were some problems with the official GB update, like the stock messaging app not recognizing known contacts. That's one of the reasons why there's such a large number of rooted Inspires.
I had the contacts issue with my inspire and finally just rooted. Now with a new Rom it works great.

I was aware because it happened with mine. That's why I started using Go SMS Pro, since rooting and flashing the ROM I have no issues. I think I'm just going to wait until they get tired of their farm game and just root it and flash a ROM to their phones as well. A lot of people I heard from before I found this site said the GB update caused a lot of issues with the Inspire.
Im just curious if anyone knows if there will be a new radio update with the new jellybean release in a few weeks?
There already is one you can use in the development section You don't have to flash it to have Jelly Bean.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Judging by the screenshot of the port, it's still KI1. Which is the same as 4.0.4
Ports from the sdk or the gn would have nothing at all to do with a radio for the nexus s.
Radios will come in the form of official ota for the device as well as the factory images released by google.

I know of the new GNex radio but this is the Nexus S forums buddy :~|
Well I know that the devs will use the stock radios we have to port, was just wondering if they were coming out with new update. It would be nice cuz the ones ive tried in my area is little sketchy at times

It's my understanding that the drivers for the NS4G are proprietary to Sprint and not open source. Therefore Google cannot completely compile the build on their own - they must pass the source on to Sprint and it is in Sprint's hands to finish it and release it. And Sprint has its hands full trying to climb back up from the bottom of the big four U.S. providers to stay caught up with ATT and T-mobile. So their main focus will be in pushing forward with new devices and new networks, not compiling and releasing builds for 2 year old phones.
I too have a NS4G and I feel your pain. As soon as my contract is up with Sprint, I'm getting the newest Nexus device on another carrier.
That being said, the following post is the Cyanogen Mod 10 version of Jelly Bean. I installed it today with no problems and it is working great. You just need the .zip for the ROM as well as the .zip for the Google apps. The OP has a link to both. You'll also probably want to hit the link in the OP for the CM10 boot screen (for some reason the ROM has the CM9 boot screen). The boot screen can be flashed after everything is installed and running, though.

No problem. Did you end up trying the CM10 JB ROM? Or are you going to wait for a different ROM or an OTA (if it ever arrives).
