I haven't seen or heard about when the OTA ICS updates will resume. Maybe I'm not looking in just the right places, but all of my searches (web & xda) don't have any new information.
Has anybody heard about when the updates will resume? I have the i9020a, but I guess I'm asking more generally.

What makes you think ICS OTA was stopped ?
I went back to GB for a day 3 weeks ago and the notifiaction to update to ICS keeps coming and annoying me ... One of the causes I revert back to ICS was the annoying update notification...
PS:My phone is I9020T BTW
Just haven't received any notification to update, and all the news I could find said it had been paused a few weeks ago but there was nothing new or recent saying that the pause was done with. At least that I could find.
That's because you have i9020T.
Google haven't release ICS update for I9020A yet.

If that's the case, I feel better about the lack of an update. So then it's a waiting game at this point.
Thanks.
i'm on i9023 and even i havent got it.. there hasnt been any news since they stopped the ota.. even am wondering if we'll ever see a official update..
i heard some rumor that Google has stop OTA temporarily due some bug ???
I heard it was because of battery issues. True or not don't know, but im guessing there's probably more to it than that. Been waiting along time for it tho.
Nexus s 4g completely stock. 2-5 fC's a day. Lets get this show on the road.
Well...

I've been continuing to look around online to see what I could find, and I've stumbled across a seemingly useful thread on the Google Mobile Help Forum. I haven't made 8-10 posts on XDA yet, so I cannot provide an outside link here. I'm sure I could PM it to anybody who asks.
To sum up what I've found, it looks like they're still collecting data about the issues that users are having with the ICS update on the Nexus S. A Google employee provided links on where to report specific issues, which would include the battery issue that you had mentioned.
However, it still doesn't quell any concern about when they're going to have those issues corrected, or how much progress they have made so far.
Why wait ?
Don't wait for the OTA, root your phone and install any one of the amazing choice of developer ICS ROM's to your phone
I chose the ICS version by Peter Alfonso http://download.peteralfonso.com/crespo/rom
(in tandem with Eugene's Speedy Kernel) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1401455
and it's brilliant !
Haven't had one FC in three weeks of use and battery life is astounding
Go for it, it's easy to install and if you don't like you can simply revert back to your current ROM (so long as you used ROM Manager and made a backup of course)
Root is the way to go.
ICS is having battery problems. Go with a custom as mentioned above. I went with the [ROM][25-01-12][AOSP][4.0.3] Codename Android 1.2.0|Fully Open Source and its amazing!

Or just compile it yourself. The code is there.

Best ICS ROM
I have been using Crossbones after testing out another well known rom. Crossbones seems to have the magic. The developer is very concerned with stability and only adds features if it works well. No random crashes and few bugs. But he rightly labels his current build a beta which I respect. Others are labeling their betas, stable builds. If you are looking for a good rom with lots of potential check this one out. Oh and BTW great battery life.
Thank you all for your suggestions.
I used to flash ROMs on my Captivate, and kept my Nexus S as a Google OTA phone. Though, considering this whole ICS mess, I'm considering going the way of the custom ROM on this device too.
I might give it another week or two, and see if anything happens by the start of February.

If you have a linux machine compile it yourself, or pick one of many custom ROM's out in the development section or get mine from my signature, the lightest ICS Rom out there. No battery issues for me, lasts 2 days on medium usage.
Hmm i saw that Google stopped the update on some regions including mine -_- to gather feedback ...
Good ICS ROM
Checkout this ROM, it comes with the kernel in that integrated package.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1425344
Don't wait for the OTA update, just flash this awesome ROM and chose the KERNEL that fit your needs !!!
Google it's way behind on ICS
my setup at the moment
CODENAME ANDROID 1.2 | Matrix v15 cfs
I have rooted and tried a couple ice roms but found them not much better. It was at the end of November tho, went back to stock hoping for the ota. I do know that there are some awesome builds out but I don't wanna wipe again just yet but I'm getting close.
I keep getting the update notification on my nexus S, I'm trying to figure out if this ICS upgrade that my phone keeps telling me about is the same with bugs etc or a fixed one...anyone know?
I am new to flashing, but I want to get ICS on my Samsung Captivate which will not receive an official 4.0 update from Samsung. There are multiple options for ICS roms; the two I have heard most about are Doc Master's and Team Hacksung's CM9 (alpha). Please leave comments as to the general stability for the most up to date versions of the roms if you have experience with them. I am not interested in a buggy rom; i want one that is stable and that has most/all functions. I am a little bit confused on both forums for these roms how stable these roms are. Especially Doc Master's (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1462035). It does not list any specific bugs for the versions; does this mean everything works? I'm new to this so I am confused.
Also, if I would flash one of these ICS roms and decide it is too buggy, or I don't want it anymore, can I get back to my stock Gingerbread 2.3.5 (what I currently have). If so, how? Is the best way to make a nandroid backup of my stock rom (does that work for stock?)? If not, what is.
I appreciate your help.
Help please!
Bump. I really would appreciate any help.

ICS rom
I have flashed the 2 roms you asked about. I liked them both until I found Dark Knights ICS 4.0.4. Everything works and it is smooth and fast. I have tried others also, I also liked MIUI but Dark Knights is the best so far for me.
If you search XDA you will find the answers to your other questions. You just have to be willing to read a few threads. When I started I screwed up just about every way you can think of and someone was willing to help me out.
If you go to You tube and search for videos on how to flash your Captivate, many will come up (I am a visual person). Look for videos from Josh at Mobile Tech Videos. He knows what he is talking about and is a great help.
It would probably be better if you posted this question in the captivate forums.
I would post the link but I don't have the power to do that yet.
As for your question, I am currently running the CM9 Alpha version and am loving it. It has been my daily driver for quite some time and I would definitely recommend using this ROM.
All of your questions can be found in the captivate forums. You'll have to read a lot but it's better to read more so you know what you're getting yourself in to.
Hi all,
As im new here i couldn’t post this on the development posts so have had to drop this here for now. I know there have been other related threads like this but my situation seems to be more unique and more annoying :crying:
After rooting my galaxy s3 I have had numerous call problems on both cyanogenmod and Carbon Roms. It started with cyanogenmod 9.1 stable and experienced problems where there was no sound at either end of the call, sometimes I could hear the other person speaking but they couldnt hear me. Other times when i answered the phone I would hear them speak but there voice would be distorted, sounding more like a robot. Theses problem would usually be fixed by either me or them calling back.
Thinking this had been fixed on a cyanogenmod nightly I tried them... however this seemed to make no difference, even on the newer versions.
Fed up I moved onto carbon Rom (despite this being cyanogenmod based) and have had the same problems with even the very latest build thou the distorted sound just became more common, even after a whole month of use.
I have now moved onto the liquid smooth Rom in hope i wont have the same problem... if this fails then its back to the old stock Rom
Has anyone else had the same problem or heard of this before??? Any feedback would be appreciated =)
Many thanks
Distorted sound on liquid smooth to.... =(
Yes! I have been having the same problem I think. I have looked everywhere and haven't been able to find a solution let alone another person describing the problem. About one in every 6 or 7 calls has a bubbly distorted sound but the person on the other end can hear me OK. I'm running CM 10.1 on a GS3 i747m. Did you find a solution or find anyone else with a similar problem?

If this is any help and I know its late, but carbon ROM is based on many cyanogenmod parts (the MMS app, many features and I'm sure the phone app). If you are having problems going to on cyanogenmod the problem is likely to ocurr in carbon, AOKP or Paranoid android are less likely to have the same problems though.
You have to go back to stock rom .. eliminate binnary status.
and then take it to a Samsung service center.
I think the galaxy s3 is no damage on the hardware you
sorry i use translate.google
I can't agree. I have the same problem and need to reboot each time. I've flashed about 10 different ROMS. This problem only exists on cyanogenmod. I have no clue, but I've been looking for an answer for some time now.
Hi there. I loved AOKP on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 7.0 would like recommendations on what similiar rom I can get for my spanking new 7.7
I was reading about Pacman and Paranoid Android but have no idea regarding the stability of these roms. Would someone care to enlighten me?

I believe either can be used on a daily basis. Currently i am using the Pacman ROM as that ROM has significantly more options for customization. Which ROM is a matter of preference and these or any others have some risks and have hiccups on occasion. Careful use of backups can keep you out of trouble and a fresh install if you switch usually reduces the chance of problems.
Good luck on whichever one you pick and I hope you'll have a great time experimenting with all the options. Congratulations on getting a 7.7 as I think they are getting hard to get even with the apparent lack of updates from Samsung. Guys like Daniel (and the others before him) have keep this Tab current. :good:
thank you for the response colonelbillenstein! whats the biggest problem you have running Pacman ROM? I remember the biggest issue with AOKPSGT7 was the bluetooth not working thus making me unable to transfer files between devices.

My biggest issue is getting the NavBar to stay visible. One of the guys had a work around but it did not work for me. My issue and the potential solution is is spelled out in the Pacman thread.
Regarding bluetooth, I have had no significant problems pairing with a jawbone era, jambox, my harley bike sound and phone system, a 7000 series samsung tv, and my laptop. I normally only use bluetooth for handsfree tasks and use airdroid and a few other apps to transfer files. Daniel the guy who build these ROMs spent many hours working out the bluetooth issues. Again I hope you have a lot of fun with you Tab - i use mine for for everything and when traveling move of the time don't need a laptop.:cyclops:
just flashed Pacman ROM. loving the stock android experience! was wondering about whether some AOKP features like sliding across the status bar to adjust brightness and hold back button to kill app are in here? Can't seem to find them.
Hey guys been away from the XDA scene for a while, first I got my Galaxy S1 a year or two back and knew nothing about android, a bad 2.3.3 update brought me through the bricked phone Nightmare which I was able to fix on my own with some help from this forum. Since that day I've been playing a lot with these devices had a lot of fun fixing them, and modifying them.
I had already been running Cyanogen for a while on my S1, and picked up an S2 i9100M last year for about 30$ from a friend, great condition but the 2.3.3 was something I had got used to not using anymore. Installed CM on the S2 and been running it since.
The phone runs really well but I have some recent concerns I noticed while traveling and such. Specially the WIFI reception is one of the biggest things I noticed a huge difference with more recent devices running stock roms and IPHONES that all get stable 2-3 bars when I struggle to get reception.
Is this linked to a weakness in CM? Is this just a device that is starting to get a little old for today's wifi appliances? Bear with me here, I notice the custom roms section has a bunch of roms but CM is not listed. Have people moved on and CM is a thing of the past? What are the biggest differences I might experience when changing to a whole complete CUSTOM ROM, what things might I dislike?
Thanks for taking the time to clarify things with me!
