Well, look at that: Google's false advertising about the Nexus S

- I got tired of reading it on the epic forums and now tired of the crying here. It's a phone folks, not the end of the world.
We have a phone made to root and load custom roms. I promise, the ICS roms out there right now are better than what will be put out OTA from Google.
Goggles OTA for ICS broke so many phones they had to stop the push. I have several friends at work with the gsm nexus that got the OTA push and they went back to gingerbread within days of receiving the OTA. They have since rooted their phones and are running custom ICS roms. They both say are MUCH better than the OTA.
So if you are wishing for the OTA, remember the saying, Be careful of what you wish for...

Also, remember, you have a Nexus. Root, flash any one of about a dozen ICS ROMs. Very simple. I've been running ICS for almost two months.01-18-2012 10:56 AMLike 0 - I got tired of reading it on the epic forums and now tired of the crying here. It's a phone folks, not the end of the world.

Solution: as stated above, custom ROMsSkunkape60 likes this.01-18-2012 12:43 PMLike 1 - Just my two cents but I am very happy with 2.3.7 running the ICS theme. I know it's not the same, but there's no functionality missing that makes me REALLY REALLY want a OTA of ICS immediately. I agree with that one dude, it's just a phone and after the Galaxy Nexus drops to Sprint we'll all probably get an update and then we can start a new thread about wanting an update to fix the update. :P JK...but seriously...I am happy with my phone and how it is. Anything else is extra to me...but this is just my opinion.01-18-2012 01:27 PMLike 0

- You'll notice it doesn't say "phone" it says "device." And that's not an accident. Google's pushing for Android devices, not just phones. And it has NOT been the first (Galaxy Nexus), or second (Transformer Prime) or even third (that's the Xoom) device to get ICS.01-18-2012 03:06 PMLike 0

Again, complaining about this is ridiculous. Its a Nexus, root, flash, problem solved. You're welcome. Having a Nexus and not flashing is like having a Ferrari and not taking it over 35.01-18-2012 03:25 PMLike 0 - You'll notice it says "this device" referring to the phone. You'll also notice the Nexus S has received an update. The GN released with ICS. It shouldn't be a surprise that it came before any update. It would be silly to do it the other way.

The ICS ROMs out there are far from alphas, even though that's what they're being called. I get better performance and battery life while being completely stable.01-18-2012 05:17 PMLike 0 - Then what's the point in getting a Nexus device? If its for business, then bleeding edge software shouldn't be a concern. Business phones shouldn't be toys.

The point is still that no non nexus phones have been updated yet, so you really can't say it isn't a fast update yet01-18-2012 06:13 PMLike 0 -
However, if the phone was bought and paid for by your employer and as such you must wait for the ota, you don't even have a dog in the fight. Is your employer complaining about his phones not having ICS yet? I seriously doubt it. :rolleyes:

That's the kind of bs that worries me and others. These developers that put together these roms for you and others to try are talented, but I'm just not convinced the phone will be as stable as it should be. Some people on here get to be like such giddy school girls when it comes to trying out a new rom, that I think they overlook some of the basic things that absolutely MUST work for those of us that rely on our phones for business.01-18-2012 10:38 PMLike 0
