Will I be able to get my NS4G updated without service - just over WiFi? I want to get it updated so I can sell it (migrated away from Sprint...)

Wondering this too. I have a Nexus here that's no longer activate, and would like to know if the update will still prompt me.

Whomever you sell the phone to will be able to upgrade to ICS. I would not think that is a deal breaker since it is officially rolling out to all NS4G phones.

These forums are so quiet compared to what PreCentral was like back when an update was due.

Anyone who knows anything about Android knows that they can root and upgrade whenever they choose.. I dont think not having ICS on your phone will decrease its resale value.

Correct, but for a brief period of time the NS4G will be one of -very- few phones that will have an official ICS instance. That's worth something to a small percentage of people.

Yeah, I forgot how crazy people go to be able to say they're the first to get a phone update.. LOL.. To me it's silly, but to each his own.

No, not really.. The Palm Pre was one model of phone and was the only phone using that OS.

These forums contain so many sub-forums with so many other Android OS phones in them.. If you combined all those posts into one forum, I guarantee, you'll have more posts.

I know this, I was a Palm Pre fanboy til July of last year.

So....Im on the oICS rom......when the OTA is going out to all the NS4gs, do I have to return to the stock gingerbread rom (with my custom recovery) to recieve and install the update? Or do I have to completely unroot, take off custom recovery to get the OTA?

So far, no update. Looks like the "leak" is bust. =|

Still 8 hours left in the day I suppose...

Yes. That is the obvious statement. Well done.

However, overall the forums are still quiet imo.

And this thread is especially quiet given the imminent arrival of ICS for NS4G.

Seems like every few weeks there is a hot, single-sourced rumor about updates or new releases. They are almost always incorrect. Yet we (including myself) always go into panting mode. LOL.

 

[Gekko]

so did this official update ever come?

 

[eps1lon3]

There's been no confirmation that it was even released. It could just be dumb luck that everyone who got the update in the first wave doesn't use forums, or they simply haven't reported it.

 

[Zerocool84]

I'm sure a tech/cellphone website would have reported on this if it were true. I haven't seen anything about this anywhere other than rumors.

I don't think you get it though.. People went to the PreCentral forums, to a single forum because the Palm Pre had a LOT of users there.. The Nexus S is really not that popular of a phone compared to the HTCs and Moto Droids of the world..

BUT if you weeded through allllll of the "I heard ICS is coming" threads in ALL of the AndroidCentral forums, I seriously think you'd see many many more posts than in the Precentral rooms.

Another reason it's so quiet is because people get tired of the "crying wolf" syndrome.. We've heard and anticipated this update for so long, that everyone is just tired of speculating and moving on with their lives.

Naw. Like practically every other single-sourced rumor,it is just a fake. It is fun cause we all fall for it. If you look back, they are almost all false.

Oh well, *my* source says the OTA drops Feb 17.
