Just curious, how long do previous iphone models get the latest iOS update when a new iphone comes out? Is it same day or shortly after?
I'm glad to see Google is closing the time between a Nexus device launch and past device getting the latest Android update.

Older IOS devices get it on the same day, or a couple of days before the new Iphone is released.
For Example IOS5 came out on Oct 12 this year and the Iphone 4S wasn't released until Oct 14..
its easy when they only have one or two other architectures to worry about. with the ns theres at least 3 i think
That's a good idea for an internal test. Can't wait!

well i tried my little ace up my sleeve. downgraded back to 2.3.4 stock prerooted, to see if i would get and no go lol. it just prompted me for gingerbread 2.3.7 updating. worth a shot i might try this everyday.
Not that it will likely matter for you but even your phone was first in line for the ota up to ics, you would almost certainly get the ota update up to 2.3.7 if you're sprint and 2.3.6 for gsm. prior to ota notification for 4.0
So if you're going to do revert to stock and hope you're first to get the ota thing, make sure it is actually the latest stock.
This just makes me all the more eager to get the ota on my phone.

alright...so once i flash the stock rom, will it be able to catch ota updates? or do i need to revert stock recovery too? finally what about root? should i unroot it to get the OTA?
And there is no employees edition of the phone. The limited edition phone ( battery cover) is not a "employees edition"
but i knw this one is the early model which was givn to employees
That's true. You will always get the next in line OTA. I remember that's how it was on my Nexus One.

You get the OTA only on stock,non-rooted, out-of-the-box rom.
False. It does not matter if you're rooted. Or if custom recovery
Ima wait till its rooted and flashable

Samsung Nexus S 4G updated to support Google Wallet
This has been posted on Engadget
"It looks like the rumors are true, folks -- the long-awaited update that brings Google Wallet to the Samsung Nexus S 4G on Sprint is indeed here, just two days shy of missing the "summer" deadline completely. We're pretty scant on details at the moment, but the announcement has shown up on an official FAQ page on Samsung's site informing us that build GWK74 is available. If you're a proud owner of the now fully-functional device, you should receive a notification stating that an update is available to deliver the goods via an OTA refresh. We're not sure how long it will take for this to get pushed out to everyone, so a bit of patience may need to be exercised here as you wait. Let us know if you're one of the lucky recipients below."
Has anyone else seen or heard about this yet? Is this different from when this was posted on Sprints site? Will it actually be rolled out now?
Samsung
Sprint update page shows nothing.
No update on my 4G yet.
FOTA_CANCEL is the harshest of messages at times like these.

I'm sure someone will post the APK soon, but given that it requires NFC Secure Element support, it might have to wait for a similar OS update to enable it on the non-Sprint models. Time will tell.

The access to the SE has been in AOSP since 2.3.5. If you have a pure AOSP or other custom rom based off of AOSP you should have access to the SE. If you are running stock 2.3.4 you won't though.

To install the OTA, youll probably need to have a completely stock /system and the stock recovery.

My Nexus is Rooted, but otherwise completely stock. Too bad it's on T-Mo!
i'm a Nexus S 4g user, and mine is rooted too, but i'm running a custom rom. figures though, i guess tailsthecar3 is right. I'll need to have a stock system. i WAS on a stock rooted rom, and it looks like i'll have to wait for a new rom release with the next build.
lol GO SPRINT! (not really)
i just flashed back to stock, got a 22MB update and it's rebooting and installing now. will edit post later once i get the chance to play with it
I tried updating my stock rooted to the grj22 or whatever...I didnt have the stock apps in /system cause i deleted them, like books, google earth, etc. I wanted to try to update even though I knew I needed the stock /system. I put the stock recovery on it but because the update couldnt find the original files, the update failed.

Kansas City, and no, it seems to be maybe the 2.3.5 update. i don't have a wallet app.
but i'll be waiting for a few days with the stock /system and /recovery just to see what happens. just tweeted sprint for an ETA. seems like they would push the update before they announce it?

hi
you have to wait for the new prime version which includes the ICS-Update!
Other way you have to switch back to stock and you will lose root!

This^ or for the time being you can just switch to an ICS ROM until your ROM of choice gets updated.
Most likely first ICS build will just be a Rooted/Deodexed version of the ICS update which should be up within the hour of the update being released if all goes as planed.
And of course the update may not even be coming out today and the person who runs the ASUS Singapore Facebook account could be getting fired. , but let's try and be positive!

I don't think that this is going to happen as usually there is some sort of a "leak" for this to happen and with the update being pushed (supposedly) today then I think we will have to wait for someone to get it and post the update to the forums.
so your saying that a new custom rom will be out tommorow?
another question any thoughts if iwill have to wipe
i cant really manage to do it
i got lots of important stuff on my TF and the sd cards its almost 60GB
Could it be that the Singapore update won't drop until the 12th, 13th who other areas get it tomorrow?
This will update you from HLK75F (Android 3.2.4) to HLK75H (Android 3.2.6)

Giggity! Just did the update manually via stock recovery. Got nervous for a minute because when it came back up, the baseband version was coming up as "unknown". WiFi worked but 4G didn't. Reboot fixed it, thankfully.
It looks like there's a new CDMA radio (5DP vs. 54P in HLK75F) in the update, but the LTE radio remains the same version (05.19.07) as HLK75F. There is no bootloader update either, which is a good thing. Once you start getting into new bootloader versions, flashing old firmware instantly becomes a nightmare as anyone with a Motorola smartphone can tell you.
I'm hoping this update means ICS is around the corner. This HLK75H update may be the one that comes out as the "launchpad" for ICS...sort-of like what Google did with the Nexus One. Like a week or two before they upgraded it to Gingerbread, they released a Froyo update 2.2.2 which didn't really fix anything that anyone could figure out. It seems like it was just there to be the upgrade path to Gingerbread.
I hope that's what's going on here. Either way, I'm sure we can say that 3.2.6 is the final release of Honeycomb.

I am not sure as i have not been not rooted for along time but i am thinking if you copy it to your sdcard and reboot into recovery you can apply it through there. At least this option works on my bionic anyway.
To get into recovery you must turn power off then power it on again. Once the red motorola logo comes up count 1 2 3 and then hit the down volume button until it says android recovery then hit the up volume button to select it.

I wouldn't count on it but would hope that ICS is around the corner for us. As for the final release of Honeycomb i would hope so too but who knows what these people at Motorola think. I would like to see an ASOP ICS but i bet moto puts their hands on it before we get it and adds their 2 cents.
Not on the US Xoom. They can't. The updates come from Google. Moto just pushes them. The US Xoom is a Google Experience Device. ICS will be plain vanilla just like Honeycomb is.

I am rooted using Rogue Recovery 1.3.0 and Rogue Kernel 1.4.3 "Rana" (ROM Ver. HLK75F) can I run this Zip from Rogue Recovery without going back to stock kernel and recovery? Will this update un-root me?
I will answer my on questions for 'GP' I ran the update through recovery, I was soft bricked at the Dual Core 'M'. Went back into recovery and reinstalled 'Rogue Kernel 1.4.3 "Rana"' and Universal Root.zip (didn't know if it was needed but figured it wouldn't hurt.) and rebooted after 10 minutes was up and running on HLK75H. Had 'su' updated binaries once system was running and all seems well.

Interesting...last night I was messing around with my phone. I flashed the 2.3.1 fastboot images, booted up, fully expecting to see the update notification for "Ice Cream Sandwich MR1 (4.0.3)" as I always have. Much to my surprise, however, it instead said "Nexus S Update to Android 2.3.6".
Maybe this is a good sign that a new ICS update is coming soon.
Discuss.
When is the last time you got an OTA? For most people OTAs have been disabled for quite some time.
Two weeks ago my phone would still update 2.3.x to 4.0.3 via OTA.
Sent from my Nexus S using Tapatalk
Well, I don't know that it means a 4.0 is on the horizon or just that 4.0.3 was worse than they thought. Either way, I guess we will see a release in the next few weeks. It seems the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S haven't sort of stopped receiving updates lately. My guess is they are trying to update both devices to a newer less buggy build.
I got my nexus i9023 a few days ago. It was 2.3.3 and I got no OTA. I flashed to 2.3.6 and still no OTA.

Since they initially disabled ICS OTAs in certain countries, the OTA update system was completely shut down for those users. If ICS isn't being rolled out to anyone, I would guess it is the same and no one will get any OTA updates for any versions. I don't understand why Google is doing this but it isn't new.
Yes. They did the same thing for US users when they pulled the 2.3.3/GRI40 update. Anyone who had 2.3, 2.3.1 or 2.3.2 had no OTA at all until 2.3.4 came out.

DISCLAIMER: this is not another generic speculation thread just to throw around guesses about dates for the 4.3 release. yes, i am asking you to speculate, but i have a legitimate reason for posing this question, so please, do not troll and/or flame. thank you.
so my nexus 4 arrived today. i'm eagerly awaiting getting out of work so i can get home and get to playing with it. i absolutely intend to unlock, root and flash a custom recovery/rom/kernel. however, word is that 4.3 is set to release on june 10th (or thereabouts) which is this monday. i'd hate to take the time to do all of the aforementioned things, only to have to reflash stock shortly thereafter in order to grab the OTA.
do you think 4.3 will actually drop this week, and as such, i should wait before going flash crazy?
or i guess an even better question is the one posed in the thread title. if i flash a custom rom now, how long before the rom will update to 4.3? i'm going with PA and probably the latest franco. can't wait to play around with halo!
as soon as the source is out.... they'll be out with custom roms with the very basic stuff like deodexed, superuser and such
no go flash crazy, enjoy it while you can. even when 4.3 is out, it'll take time to backport all the existing customization and features to 4.3
Do this unlock the bootloader flash custom recovery flash SU zip then make a nandroid backup then flash any ROM kernel or mod you want. If the ota comes out then you can just flash your backup and install ota with no problems.
Roms will be updated usually with in a few days after the source is released just because the ota is released doesn't mean the source is out

I would'nt bother waiting.. since google editions of other phones have been launched it means the wait will be longer, since they will have to all get the update together so as not to advantage one phone over the other... now i hear sony is have a google editon too, the wait will be even longer still.
