EDIT: Received it after a *#*#CHECKIN#*#* and going to check for system updates.

Could you please provide a log cat of the OTA URL before you apply/reboot your phone? Once ICS is installed it is too late to get this info.

It will help the rest of us get the OTA also. If you need help please ask!

Edit: Just got it too..... doing the log cat....

Just finished updating my nexus, first thing that I noticed is that I now have 1GB for applications instead of 512MB. I havent finished looking at everything yet, but I did notice that Agenda Widget is not working for some reason. Hopefully it just needs to be reinstalled or something.

That's my take so far, after having ICS installed all of 5 minutes. I'll let you all know if I come across anything else interesting.

Good, I already am in the process of installing it, you almost made me feel bad.

PM or post the link here and I will get it posted with credit to whoever drops it first

Also anyone get me a screenshot of the juicy details on the About Phone screen for the OP that will also get you credit and a big thanks from me (Screenshot... Hold Volume Down+Power together, this will do a screenshot in stock ICS)

Can you confirm the build number?
Is it IMM76D?
If so, I'm grabbing it from Peter Alfonso

*#*#CHECKIN#*#* is working for me. downloading to phone and hoping to get the update off of phone before install.

 

[JDGAFFLIN]

Android is updating. Optimizing Application __ of 45.

The Boot up animation was crazy.

OTA URL: http://android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/google_crespo4g/TAMkDR3z.zip

Pulled this out of the logs using LOG CAT. My NS4G is stock 2.3.7.

i tried the checkin thing about ten times....nothing.


so that URL thing...is using that essentially equivalent to getting the OTA or is it somehow different to do it that way?

 

[LNWJ]

This is the official OTA update URL.
