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.

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..

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

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.

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?

This is my battery usage today, it is quite nice, note that there is no drain during inactivity.

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

    Another key thing that may give credibility to the story is all the corrupted radios/bootloaders that have happened on the 9020t and 9023.

    In fact i'm gonna be helping someone restore their radio sometime today.

    Battery drain?! I've had nothing but terrific battery life on my NS. Normal usage and over 1day 6 hours without charging (30 hours).

    did u update via OTA...? if not which rom u downloaded . There was two roms from google 128MB and 164MB...
    Click to expand...
    Click to collapse

    128 mb is the size of the update, coming from 2.3.6 (it just update files of the 2.3.6)
    164 mb is the entire ICS ROM, flashing directly from any version you want.

    So did the OTA halted worldwide or just regions with issues?

    Plenty of T-Mobile users in the US are still getting the update today. So it is apparently by region (or perhaps carrier) that they are halting the release. My guess is it has little to do with battery issues but signal issues and wifi issues.
