runs fine.
Posted via RS Mobile

it actually runs nicely. looks great and worth the upgrade from gb.

just changed from KWIBOO to Alfa16
LOTS OF SPEED IMPROVMENT
but franco or ezkeel kernel didnt work

If you are comparing a STOCK ICS 4.0.3 vs STOCK GB 2.3.6, then I can tell you that the UI is not as smooth, somewhat laggy.

Is it just because the Nexus S hardware cant handle ICS?

Also, you guys that got your OTA updates, did it wipe your phone?

Is there any good kernels (batter life wise) that works with CM9? I used morfic's TEUV for 2.3.6 but that didn't work when I tried to flash it with CM9.

everything transferred over. nothing was deleted and so far all my apps have been working with the occasional force close on one.

No update for me either. Guess I just wait and hope :okay:

for those who dont like to wait....

Install Android 4.0.3 'Ice Cream Sandwich' on your Nexus S NOW! | ZDNet

I tried installing CM9 Alfa 17. My 3g connection is connected but it's gray so I have no data. I tried flashing the radio to UCKF1 and KD1 my data still doesn't work.

Any one had that issue and found a way to fix it?

EDIT: NM Fixed data issue... had to change the APN settings. ICS feels sluggish... Using CM9 Alfa 17 /w Glados 2.2

can someone explain to me what the point of the recent app list is for? it's the list that pops up when you hold down the home button. are those apps running in the background or are they just stored as memory for faster access? does it take up more batteries if i leave them there?

thanks! i can't seem to find an answer in google.

multitask, those are few apps that are running in the background, simply "swipe" them off the screen, as if you were rubbin them out to close the app.

correct me if im wrong.

I have a Nexus S from telus, how come I still dont get the ICS update? I went to "about" -> "software update.. but nothing happens

update was for AWS nexus s only and the update has already been pulled.

yea apparently there have been some complaints about failed installation and such. also there seems to be some issues with battery life?

since i already have the ics update, which i don't see that much difference in battery life, will the next update automatically patch up any errors that i have on my existing ics? and there's no way to revert to 2.3.6 after installing 4.0 is there?

installed nexusbeam version of ics. it's okay, except that titanium backup is giving me problems. gonna install cm9 tomorrow and see how that works, if not then back to GB for me

is there a way to go back to GB if you are unhappy with ICS? I am referring to the vanilla GB without any mods and not from Cyanogen or other cooks.

Question, how well will this phone run on Wind or Mobilicity Networks?

It should run just fine considering their is an AWS version of the Nexus S available.

I'm going to Wind tomorrow to either pick up a Nexus S or LG optimus 2x..which one should I get?

Just make sure you buy the aws version of the nexus s

I keep telling my buddy to wait for the Galaxy Nexus cause it is pure Android and will update when available without having to wait for manufacturer crap that may never come... yet FFS Why isn't ICS out for my Nexus S yet?

Nexus S is pure android as well. unlock your bootloader, install clockwork mod, go to xda and find ics. i've been running mine for the past few weeks. some members here have had it for months
