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

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.

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.

Figured I'd post this, as I've been getting many messages on here.
This video will show you how to manually update your nexus s 4g from stock 2.3.7 gingerbread to the OTA android 4.0.4 ICS.

I've seen the announcement that ICS OTA would be rolled out to India. I've been checking the system update every day several times. It's supposed to be informing the servers to prioritize my tablet, but nothing so far
Anyone in India got the OTA ICS update?
Edit : How do I move this to Q& A using Tapatalk?

India ICS
Even I waited for a long time for any updates available, but there is no such update till now. Its better to root your tab and install a stock rom.
I did the same and its working much better than the custom rom which was installed in my tab.
I you chose to wait, than it may take some more time. Till than you might find Jelly bean in market. So, I suggest you to root your tab and install a custom rom.
Well, finally got a Jelly Bean OTA update this afternoon. My GT2 7.0 is now running 4.1.1 and the whole process was painless and without any issues. All seems to be working well though I have to admit that I had hoped they would put it at 4.1.2 or even 4.2 but maybe they will put out another update one day - before I go on medicare...
