Google Puts The Freeze On ICS Update For Nexus S Users While They Monitor Feedback
Anxious Nexus S owners everywhere have been counting down the days until they could finally taste the chilled sweetness of Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) on their handset. However, it appears as though Google has put the Ice Cream Sandwich update back in the freezer for certain areas while they monitor feedback. Here’s what Google community manager Paul Wilcox had to say in response to the situation,
If you received an update notification a little while ago but the update isn’t currently available for your phone, this is likely the result of Google pausing the update in your area while we monitor feedback. The Android 4.0 update is continuing to roll out around the world so your phone will receive another update notification when it’s available again in your region.
We’ve also heard that some Nexus S users are still receiving the Android 4.0 update, but are unable to install it- which Wilcox stated is an entirely “separate issue” in itself. Any Nexus S owners out there experiencing the same thing? Let us know, and we’ll keep everyone updated as Google provides more information in the coming days.
I have the Ice cream update (4.0.3) on the Nexus S and it is incredibly glitchy on the lock screen which some times dimly still shines after it is locked and should be black. When unlocking the phone most of the time you cant get the touch screen to work and back, menu, search, and home bottom dont work either..
