ICS 4.0.3 OTA halted by Google

http://androidheadlines.com/2011/12...e-to-high-cpu-usage-and-battery-life-bug.html

google stopped the ota
i just wanted to have a confirm of what i 've read in a italian forum.. it seems that google decided to stop the ota because of an excessive usage of the cpu and a battery bug in the ics for nexus s.. is it real??

Yes due to high CPU usage and battery drain. Hopefully the CPU usage is contributing to the poor app drawer performance. If not then hopefully it is on the list. The app drawer on my S is TERRIBLE compared to friend's Galaxy Nexus.

Ok so probably they will release another ota i hope.. the battery goes down in 9 hours

Nice can look forward to me rom
Don't understand why they didn't notice in first place

They were probably under pressure to keep their promise to release a from within weeks of the GN release. Hell idk

I have a ns4g and for those that received the ics update on the ns, Google will fix it. I'm sure within a week(s) because they are admitting fault and pulling it so more people aren't disappointed. I on the other hand have an extended battery and would gladly take that ics update lol

I dont think this is happening to everyone, I am using 4.0.3 and cpu usage is low and battery is great. Same with 2 friends that installed it. Maybe something related to specific networks or sinals.

Sad to see Google break because of a deadline.. There is no possible way anyone involved in the development and testing of ICS on the Nexus S line didn't notice the problems with it on this phone. This is something I'd expect out of Samsung.. It's ok though, thanks to devs my phone is finally stable enough..

New ICS build at the horizon? (4.0.4? 4.1?)

Ha. Thanks for the link, "Instigator".

I agree..I haven't had a problem with it yet.

No wonder the i9020a hasn't seen the update yet. I hope they can resolve this bug quickly. Like before Christmas.

It will take a few builds for Google to get all the bugs ironed out. Same happened with the Nexus One and GB.
Sent from my Nexus S

it;s a kernel issue...use a custom kernel, and it should be fine

I'm having this problem. The phone stays awake while I don't use it. And when I check the stats Android OS' is eating most of my battery and keeps the phone from sleeping. I have stock ICS with stock kernel.

So where is the official statement from Google that the OTA has stopped?

There hasn't been one (EDIT: that I've seen). The updates are still live on Google's servers, so until there is official word or the update is pulled, there is no reason to assume the OTA is ending.

Very strange, 4.0.3 is much better for me than 2.3. What we can expect?

Samsung promises "eligible" devices will get Jelly Bean upgrade

Here is a good news... If this is right then hopes are still alive...
http://www.tweaktown.com/news/24750...evices_will_get_jelly_bean_upgrade/index.html

Well they will give us the 4.1 update .They gave S1 2.1->2.2->2.3. And after that the device was 2 years old to get the 4.0 update !

S2 won't be getting it according to this link:
http://www.appsgeyser.com/163856?
It's either Samsung is being hypocritical or the link is not true because the nexus has less benchmarks scores than S2, yet has jelly bean.

You need to stop reading that blog mate. That blog spread false rumor. Like the sgs2 won't get 4.0.4 while sammobile says we will. Better stick to trusted sources mate.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium

Even Android 5.0 will be made availaible by samsung for S2.
Phone: XWLPD
Modem: DDLP8
Kernel: Siyah 3.3.2
Theme: ICS Domination + 15 Toggles
Launcher: Apex Launcher

I don't see why not since the phone (if I remember correctly) has comparable/better performance than the Nexus. Plus in places like the US, the S2 has been out for only just under a year. Considering carriers here still sell phones as old as the iPhone 3GS, I'd say the S2 still has some considerable life left and it'd be foolish not to support the phone and its users.
That being said, it may still take a while before the carriers decide to allow their versions of JB onto the S2. I think AT&T just last week released ICS for their S2

Random blog quotes another random blog, neither of which contain a source, but do contain speculation about a possible maybe event that might one day sort of occur in the future? I guess you can't go wrong with a statement like that. Next post: Samsung to announce new phone sometime this year.

+1, Just because it says it will have an update, well it means nothing. Could be next year ...... Could be next week.I wouldn't get excited about it just yet lol.

I have tested leaked 4.1.1 on my p3100
tested for few hours and reverted to cm9
stock rom uses 100MB more ram, gui not so smooth
but sound seems to be better quality (more details at high frequencies) and bluetooth headset connects faster

I don't trust it. I was told every quarter for almost a year that my photon 4g was getting ICS, they recently changed their minds last minute.

I Just Have One question i would love to put it directly to Samsung,
Why is the rollout of JB talking so long, since these devices (GT - P5110 ) have the source code released and no carrier to slow down the rollout ?
Are we to believe that the phone company's can roll out quicker than the device manufacturer on some products? how can this be ?

Samsung has known issues with her reflects concerning customer care services, such as the update to JB for the GT-51XX series. Same thing happened with the SGS 1 and icecream sandwich. First we would get the update (rumoured), then no update (official statement), then the value pack(official statement), then no value pack(rumoured), finally one day we saw value pack rolling out... Great reflectsSamsung

As long as it will remove the painful wifi issues, I don't care about all the fancy bells'n'whistles.....

Anybody used firmware 4.2.2. for S4? Is it buggy or stable enough? If there are too many bugs, I prefer rather stay with the current 4.1.2 version.
Best regards,
Tom

I don't have any wifi problems with my Note II. Only the lockscreen is laggy. I hope they will fix it with 4.2.2

Note II doesn't have Smart Stay?

I think that I do the same things as you do: calling, playing games :silly:
I experience the lockscreen as not smooth.

Well, it seems to affect users very randomly. There are quite a few on the forum having the "dropping wifi speed" issue, while others seem to have no wifi issues at all. And I believe there's no particular model that's more affected than others (branded, unbranded, international, etc). I've noticed the phenomenon on other web forums as well, and people are generally pretty fed up with Sammy's inability to come up with a fully working fw. Myself, I had a bit different issue when 4.1.2 was first released. The phone was most often totally unable to hook up with any wifi. After Sammy's latest fw release, that particular issue was finally adressed. However, the issue with dropping wifi speeds after random uptime, was NOT! To this day, the fw I hold in highest regards, is the initial one (4.1.1). Now I'm hoping for the 4.2.2 to be the final salvation....

We will be getting 4.2.2 in June

I don't think camera features are'pointless' just because you are not someone who shoots frequently. If you check around, majority of this who want 4.2.2 and those who bought s4 really considered the camera improvements as a major factor.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda app-developers app

Yeah some of the features are really cool! And I much prefer the S4 interface with preview and everything.

Looking forward to the update ive played with the s4 camera its fun although the only thing i have used my camera for is submitting portals for ingress haha

Only 6 months after it's release? Wow thanks samsung!
Ok, sarcasm aside, i guess giving the amount of devices that aren't even being updated at all, this is good news. But still, we know independent developers do nothing short of small miracles a few days after the official google release. Though i'm still imensly grateful to every dev and they're the only reason for me still having this phone, a proper samsung developing team with the proper resources has the obligation to do better and faster, so i can't help but to feel a bit screwed over by them. They surely aren't doing it because they care about the client, else their attitude would be different so there must be a different agenda in the background. On my expense. I shouldn't need to feel grateful when they release an update. Not when what i bought never worked properly to begin with with samsung's development nor it never will even with 3rd party development while samsung doesn't will it.
So, I'm not planning on still having my S3 by then. They didn't really do much during my phone's lifetime to keep me for a client. They still don't. To be rather honest all i found on samsung was disapointment. So, as soon as i'll have the chance, i'll try to replace it. I'm here to be proven wrong but my expectations for anything coming from samsung are really low at this point.

The way Omnirom is developing, they're soon going to make the stock ROM's obsolete. Stable nightly's coupled with "as good as stock" battery life, I'm definitely never going back to samsung base roms

I just installed OmniROM and it is already awesome, after adding customizable tiles in the quick select menu it will be perfect. The only thing that I miss from the stock rom is camera software and camera drivers and overall working. Everything else is better in OmniROM.

Well Omnirom has to deliver first.
I'm on Temaseks CyanogenRom V7 (started from V3) with Boeffla Kernel. Let's hope OmniRom does a good job. But until now, they also have just a more or less beta...

they'll tell us that touchwiz doesnt run on 4.4. thats why they cant release it
no more touchwiz devices for me.

We'll pray for that..:good:

That picture looks like the beginning of the reason why they're suddenly "delaying" the official 4.3 rollout.
