NS4G OTA - Nexus S General

Since nobody has it, I'm guessing it was made up. Conspiracy theory?
Sent from my Nexus S 4G

Nope its definitly coming, they are receiving a lot of signal issues by ns4g owners so i would be surprised if it never materialized.

No, the sprint release documents clearly shows an attempt for an update. The questions and speculations are on "when" it will come.

I've actually never seen that doc, thanks!

Samsungs track record with "coming soon" has not been promising (moment,epic) but since Google might have some leverage, hopefully it is coming soon.

Samsung has nothing to do with updates on the NS. Go to opensource.Samsung.com and read the documents for the d720. All updates for the NS line come from Google. So please stop the blame game and be patient.

Actually, samsumg/sprint handles the radio and Google does the rest
Radio is hugebpart of update
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA Premium App

and ironically the Radio is the only thing that BLOWS on this phone. The ONE thing they had to do they screwed up on.

In order to build android you have to have the proprietary binary files for the wimax and cdma radio. the documents above prove that update has been built and they have the "new radio" if they are even going to update it. so i would not blame sprint/samsung for the delay, they did their job. google needs to finish with whatever tweaks they are working on and release the update or at least commit the code so we can compile.

I've seen this photo a lot...exactly where is the from (ie. the original link..)?

I'm not sure why a new thread was needed but this delay could be because of tweaks needed for google wallet as that seems to be the big feature coming to the Nexus S line.

The photo is a screen shot of a sprint corp computer that was sent into android central by one of phil's sources

I'm so close to leaving Sprint. Unlimited is nice but it is useless if I can't actually use data correctly. I love when I have 2 bars of 4g but can't get any network activity and forced to use Sprints awesome upgraded dialup 3g service.

I found this at opensource.samsung.com for the SPH-D720. Not sure if means much and still would be nice if they release come source code that they currently have. Either way no big deal, I enjoy my Nexus S and really dont any issues with it. I would like better radio signal but who wouldn't. You could get a phone much worse off at Verizon, AT&T, or T-MOBILE. So good luck to the people jumping the boat. I expect a influx of people joining up with Sprint before Spring and then it will bog down the network. I hope they have a plan in place to take care of that issue that may happen.
"- Nexus S (I9020) Opened source code -
Beacuse Nexus S is google experience device, source codes are opened by Google.
So, You can find source code for the Nexus S at Android Open Source Project site.

Sprint Epic 4G Update Brings Faster Uploads Tomorrow

Sprint Epic 4G Update Brings Faster Uploads Tomorrow
File under: News
By: Chuong Nguyen | 5:06 PM 29-Sep-10 | 0 Comments
Forum member dshoem01 on Sprint's community forums has promised that the carrier will be releasing an update to the Sprint Epic 4G that will be coming tomorrow, September 30th, and will be rolled out over the air over four days. The firmware update should fix the slow upload speeds that Epic 4G owners have been experiencing, which caps their uploads to a measly 150 kbps on Sprint's 3G network. According to the forum post, "Good news - an update will be released tomorrow 9/30. It will be rolled out over a 4 day period so not everyone will get it on day 1. I will have the standard MR information (fixes included, rollout schedule, etc) available tomorrow morning and will post it in a new featured thread."

The only one I've ever experienced was the 3G upload. and it just isn't a big deal for me right now. Plus, fix is in the works.
People who have the market download problem didn't clear their cache before flashing a ROM. That's no one's fault except the person who flashed the ROM. The only time I've had anything fail in the market is when I was actively switching from wifi to 3g or vice versa. Download restarted fine with no issues.
GPS, sorry, just don't experience them. I apologize for those with them, but I just have not had an issue getting a lock when I'm outdoors. I travel to different stores everyday for work, and I've never had an issue navigating there. GPS/Maps way better on this phone than Hero, which frequently put me on some side road instead of the current one, and no one *****es about that phone's GPS issues.

I didn't have GPS issues at first, but eventually I started to experience it. The biggest problem though is the battery drain that can basically kill the whole thing in 4-5 hours.

Seriously, this update needs to fix the 3G battery drain that is killing this phone. Fixing the GPS would be nice too, but upload speeds are a distant third on the list of stuff that needs to be fixed ASAP...

This does not uncap the upload speed, it just doesn't route your internet traffic through a proxy anymore, after you change this.

says who? because I just left the sprint store getting my phone replaced, and they said its OTA today for a small rollout. the manager who owns a nexus s who was shocked I had a defected Nexus already had the update, but had no comment since our areas internet was down
I copied that off of my dealer news page in my store
Well, since this is a Nexus, I thought Samsung was not a factor in our updates. If this is the case, its making my decision easier to stick with my EVO 3D and look past the SGS2.
I really like my NS4G, but the intermittent signal issues are not a factor on the EVO.
Guess I'll see what happens.

Would radio updates be pure google? I didn't think so but I'm not positive.

Keep in mind that Sprint had a nationwide SMS failure today, so it could be that they needed to push everything back for maintenance.

Radio drivers are proprietary (thus not a part of the AOSP) and typically are developed and distributed by the hardware manufacturer (in this case Samsung).
But on the other hand they are typically bundled with OS software.
In this case, I would think Samsung would update their radio drivers, give them to Google, Google would build a new ROM and put together an OTA, then in the case of NS4G Sprint might even be involved in pushing it out, and their engineers were a tad busy today.

He was just updated to the current version on his brand new phone, not the rumored upgrade. I doubt that we see anything new today.
Was anticipating the update but oh well. No other phone has a official, stable 2.3.4 yet and we're looking to be set to get 2.3.5 in a couple of days.
Just relax, chances were slim that you'd be among the first 5% anyways and converting the OTA in a useable zip/img w/e would ahve taken some time as well.

I seriously seriously seriously doubt the Android Version is bumped. I'll eat my words if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty confident the update will not change the version to anything other than 2.3.4.

There has to be a file that stores tethering info and somehow submits it to AT&T. Is there a way of "freezing" anything collects data on our phones? I honestly think it's BS that I need a tethering plan for the lapdock....It's not like it's a seperate computer. I upgraded my sons line when I bought the Atrix and lapdock and then moved the Atrix to my number and dropped his 4gig tether plan to the 2 gig plan. (I didn't want to lose my unlimited..LOL)

I don't think you have to worry about this on an android phone. I've never heard or read anywhere where an android user has been contacted by at&t. It mainly applies to iphone and how iphone users can tether using various apps. Android has its own internal routing and assigns ip addresses like a dhcp server where as an iphone (I think) may pull ipaddresses off att's network.

A buddy of mine got a letter and it was because he was using the MyWi app. My wife uses is very rarely if the kids want to download an app from the app store. I think since iOS 4.?, there might something that recognizes when the phone is tethering and how much data was used during that time frame. You can use your phone for an hour from 3-4pm and look at your data usage the next day and your phone notifies AT&T in the middle of the night how much data was used that day... shows up as internet/media net on the bill.
The article is in regards to tethering apps not APN mods and even the article talks about the iphone not android. We seem to be safe for now

All the people who received letters from the other thread were iphone users... If you read the other thread you'll even see where several people told them to stop talking about iphones issues in an android forum. Unless your using an app that isn't baked into the os to share your wifi connection, I honestly don't think you have to worry about this as the method of "sharing" is different from ios.
This thread should be locked down as there is already a continuous one going (duplicate thread).

Gripe

What is the purpose of owning a nexus device on a cdma network? I am so tired of google and networks in so many ways. I thought the purpose of owning a nexus device was that I would receive update directly from google. I own a nexus 4 g and a motorola zoom lte and have not received an update in over 4 months. I really hope for google sake there is some improvement in the future with updates of nexus devices.

I'm stock rooted still on GB. I'm not into roms necessarily only reason I root is for wifi tether and titanium backup. Or maybe removing or freezing apps but it doesn't matter on a nexus device. Bottom line is that GS2 and vivid GSM models have gotten updates before my nexus. All I'm saying is CDMA networks do not push updates for nexus devices as they should and google obviously can't provide updates in a timely manor for these devices either. This is a problem with google plus the cdma networks.

ahh ok,I can respect that. Much more than all the other threads on here complaining about not getting the update, yours is more based on the CDMA networks which is the source of the problem for what you're referring to.
That's why I came here cdma updates can be few and far between at times.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
There isn't a reason really. With an htc device for example you get aosp like cyanogen plus you get sense if you want it. I had both options on my evo shift. No one really knew the cdma nexus experience didn't really mean **** until recently since this was the first cdma nexus.
The good thing about this is that now i have opened myself up to more options for my next phone like the htc one or gs3 where up until about January i was only ever going to get nexus phones even though they are usually lacking in something like the camera, fm radio, no sd slot or whatever. And it doesn't matter since updates won't cone any faster and the wonderful devs keep us up to date.
the files for the cdma radio are proprietary, google has to wait for the networks to provide them. googles part is done and available. they even came said a few months ago that cdma nexii arent considered developer phones anymore, just for that reason. its the cdma networks that you should let know how you feel.
im on 2.3.7, it aint broke so im in no hurry to fix it. when i get an official update then ill update. i dont see what the big deal is
I am a very happy CDMA Nexus S owner. I've been rocking 4.0.4 on my NS4G since this morning, I'm not sure what people are complaining about. Yes, we all thought that since we have Nexus devices we'd get personal invites from Goog to test out their new OS. Turns out this is not true, stupid us for thinking that. But in the end what's the difference? As soon as the update is in AOSP our awesome devs have it ready for us to crackflash. These complaint threads are getting old, when did XDA turn into Facebook?

Because the purpose of purchasing a nexus is not have to wait for the latest software plus have a pure google experience. If I need to flash software that's been out for 4 months like 4.0.3 this is an obvious fail for the nexus program.

4.0.4 is real nice. No problems at all. Everything working smoothly.

How are the 4.0.4 ROM? Any improvement in speed and smoothness? Did this fix the data lost issue we had with 4.0.3 where our phones would lose 3g data while on a bad area zone?

Seems faster and smoother to me. I actually turned animations back to 1x its so buttery. Haven't experienced the data issue yet.

It's more a fail on our part for believing Google's marketing. In the end though, we still have the new OS updates available right away via AOSP. They just don't get pushed to our phones via OTA right away. But this is XDA, who the hell wants to sit around waiting for an OTA??

All the original GB updates hit the 4g first, it's cdma carriers proprietaries that are all off a sudden an issue.

CDMA

Any want to try to get CDMA up for Ubuntu Touch? Ubuntu Touch would get a lot more attention I know I would defiantly work on it if CDMA was supported!

Dont think we'll see it anytime soon. Most of the devs working on it are GSM users so they dont give a care about ud CDMA uers. Isnt at&t gsm anyway?
Anything in the USA is CDMA, and outside of the US is GSM.
Adding CDMA isn't something one of our developers could do. It would require canonical to partner with an in US cellular company i.e. Sprint, Att, Verizon, etc...
So just wait until they have a hardware vendor preparing to sell the real handset.
CDMA will come into the picture with time.

Not true, T-mobile and AT&T are both GSM.
And ofono supports cdma now, its a matter of getting it to recognize the device.

There's a lot more standards then those to. WCDMA, for example. Used in Europe.

The problem is you'd have to entirely rewrite the RIL. That's a pain in the balls

Agreed but it can't be as bad as MIUI, having to rewrite the entire RIL and then doing a ****load of smali edit is a huge pain but its done all the time.
If I knew how, or had someone willing to help me, I would take it on.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using XDA Premium HD app
If anyone is willing to let me ping questions off of the give me a little help editing the RIL I will be more than glad to do the majority of the work, I just have no clue what to do to get started.

I would LOVE to run this, but I'm cdma as well. I'm willing to help do the leg work as well but also need to be coached.

I don't think ofono supports CDMA completely yet, us CDMA users will have to be patient. It is being worked on thoughhttps://ofono.org/blogs/bertrandaygon/2011/ofono-049.
The OS is coming along well though.
I would use Ubuntu touch CDMA or not.

I am looking to upgrade my phone on Verizon. But want to make sure that the one I get will be easily able to be unlocked and run Ubuntu Touch.
So in short, though Ubuntu Touch may not be ported to it yet. What is the best bet for a MODERN phone, that is well made enough to last 2 to 3 years (there are still some Nokia N900s out there going strong, so don't tell me its not possible) to upgrade to that is the most hackable? I've considered the Sam G Note 2, because of the really large screen. But don't know how "Hackable" it is in comparison to other devices.
Not the Nexus, very capable phone but won't be able to fully use desktop mode with full power. I would prefer 4G, since Verizon has stated that they will drop all other radio support in the next 2 to 3 years and only use 4G for voice and data.
Thank you and God Bless you guys and the work you do here!!

There is no device except the Galaxy Nexus and the Nexus 4 which has Ubuntu Touch.

I'm sorry I didn't state it fully. I am looking for the most HACKABLE device that way it will be the most likely device to LATER receive a port for Ubuntu Touch. Not that it currently has Ubuntu Touch.
I backed the Ubuntu Edge crowdfunding campaign and was willing to wait a almost a full year before receiving what I paid for. I would be more than willing to wait for a port for the same software but different device. And would donate to the person or persons that did the most work.
Pretty much has to be Quad Core of some kind, as much Ram as possible. And ability to use an SD card so storage space won't be an issue. And again, it HAS to be high quality enough to last atleast 2 to 3 year. My Moto Droid 2 has gone through 3 warranty replacements in the past 2 years. I refuse to deal with that level of incompetent hardware development. If an N900 can last almost 5 years and still go strong using various different Linux Operating systems with more capabilities than the original. Then Modern Android Manufacturers have no excuse.
Sorry for the rant, if you didn't catch that, I'm a little bit peeved at hardware companies lately.

Sorry, I misunderstood you.
I would recommend you to wait for an official device to be released because the current easy hackable devices are only Nexus or Samsung (but without drivers to port custom roms).

I've been trying to do that, because I love most of what Ubuntu Touch has shown so far. But now the left half of the touch screen on my Droid 2 Global has now stopped working. The screen still works and displays things fine. But it won't recognize any touches. It has a slide out keyboard, which helps alot cause I can use the arrow keys to do most things and still type. And I use Button Savior since this has capacitive buttons along the bottom, the left 2 buttons (Menu and Home) also no longer work. Oh and the 3.5 mm Headphone jack hasn't worked in months. And I've only had this warranty replacement for about 1 year. I would like to wait until official devices are released. But my current device is metaphorically falling to pieces.
Now you see why I am so upset with hardware manufacturers?

Oh, that's really a problem. If you don't need a high-end device asap I'd recommend you a really cheap Android device (you can keep it as a second fall-back phone). I have a Galaxy Gio as my second phone and I'd recommend that for you. It costs 40€ on ebay (I don't what it costs in your country) and has really good build quality and an active community for custom roms (you can install real stable and fast Android 4.2 on it). But it has no CDMA support.
I can't recommend you any current phone because nobody knows how they'll be working with Ubuntu Touch. Maybe the Samsung Galaxy S4...
