This is courtesy Mr. Carter Porier, who was kind enough to send it in.

• Download the OTA package above
• Rename it to update.zip, and place it on the root of your internal storage
• Shut down your phone, and reboot into the bootloader by holding volume up and powering back on
• Use the volume buttons to choose "recovery" from the list, and select it with the power button
• When you see the triangle on your screen, press volume up and power once more and you'll have a list of options, choose to update

you have no idea if this works for the nexus s 4g yet you post it up in these forums?

CDMA and wimax radio have to be addressed. I would imagine that this would not be fully functional on a nexus s 4g.

It isn't, it only includes GSM radio file(s). Thread needs to be moved.

YES! It lasted me FOREVER yesterday and I used it the whole day for navigation, surfed the web (a lot), I downloaded a million files, and made a bunch of calls! I think I used my phone yesterday more than I have ever since I got it, and the battery lasted me the whole day.

yeah same here! im really impressed with this update. i normally have to plug my phone in during the day since battery gets low fast. i use wifi all the time (no coverage in my dorm) and the battery has lasted like a champ, plus i used the web and calls all the time and sms sending has not put a dent in the battery life! very impressed

The only thing I recommend to anyone wanting their battery to last longer is to lower the brightness of the screen. The screen brightness is what will kill your battery, I usually have my screen to the lowest brightness.

I know how it feels to have EDGE :'(
That is all I have now, but yesterday I was out of town and had 3G!

Oh I hate EDGE, but after awhile you kinda get used to it.

My last phone was still Edge before the Nexus S (BB Curve 8900). It's not too bad but the speed boost is nice.
