No worries

Hopefully it's some time in Q2 or Q3 and not around Xmas time. Either way, I'll be happy that there's hopefully going to be forward progress on CM9 since not having data is a real killer for an everyday phone.

Whats weird is yesterday early morning I looked for a update and it said it there was but then I had to take a phone , lost signal and it never came up again.
Yesterday Slayher tweeted that the next tb rom fixes all known, root exploits. I would guess that for him to say something as a matter of fact like that would indicate someone has a leak and that it's already confirmed to be true.

The way Check Updates responds to your queries has nothing to do with an OTA coming out soon. Posting speculation on it is a waste of time, same as the twenty other times I have seen a thread on this. Wait for someone with a proven track record of reliability to post that one is coming.

How long would it take?

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?
A lil off topic but i just read this and i kinda pisses me off!!

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.

Worst fear was realized today! My beloved cappy took a fall right into the toilet, clean water thankfully! I had to switch to my hd2 for the time being. My cappy is resting comfortably in a bag of rice. I got the battery out so fast that it didn't get wet nor did anything behind the back cover. It may survive, only time will tell.

Kinda figured this would happen. Now if HTC was a decent company they would still release their source...but we all know they wont.
Im not all expecting to see an official release but that site is about the most vague pile of crap ever. I cant help but doubt the validity of anything posted there.

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.

NO ICS
just called HTC ,,, and they told me , that we are not getting ics,,, htc thunderbolt is discontinued,,,, :crying:

			
				
We could call and email different reps at HTC and we would get a slew of different responses from them all. Stuff like this no one will know the correct answer as tech support as we all know is the last to know.
Sent from my ThunderBolt using Tapatalk 2
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..

Sorry to be the glass half empty, but we have very little production here right now. G1 has more
Although, we may finally have some GB soon I'm thinking of testing it a little bit
+1 on the never comment. lol Facts are facts, even if we get that 2.3 you know how buggy that bad boys gonna be? Plus gingerbread ain't even that much better then froyo. Enjoy the sidekick for what it is, because Ric rpm and ayo have already made it as good as it's going to ever be imo. Just my 2 cents

Yeah, it's discontinued so the odds of people getting them is slim.
You know, I've read about so many hardware issues with these damn SKs' and I haven't had one. (Apart from the buggy touch sensitivity.) Did I just get a lucky unit or something? XD

I'm with you. I think we talked before about the screen issues. I think most of the issues were just from early rom developement. A lot of the early roms should of been betas but we were so starved for any kind of dev work stuff got rushed, people threw hissy fits, devs gave them the finger, the sk4g flatlined lol
