Galaxy Nexus and Nexus S to receive OTA Android 4.0.5 update by March
Google is still slowly trickling out Ice Cream Sandwich updates for the Nexus S, and the Galaxy Nexus has a number of different versions floating around, but the latest news is that Android 4.0.5 should be available for both devices by March.
French carrier SBF has outlined, in a leaked photo, its plans to update the two Google devices by March. Most devices should currently be situated between Android 4.0.1 and 4.0.2 depending on what version of the handset you received. Why is it more complicated than it used to be? Because unlike the Nexus S, whose updates were fully administered by Google, some variants of the Galaxy Nexus are being updated by Samsung and not Google.
Over the weekend an update to Android 4.0.4 was made available for the Verizon LTE Galaxy Nexus, which improved performance and fixed a number of bugs. We’d expect the 4.0.5 update for GSM devices to incorporate similar things.
Here in Canada, there are reports that some users are still stuck on Android 4.0.1, though most users should have been bumped to 4.0.2 already.
Do you have a Galaxy Nexus or Nexus S? What version are you currently running, provided you haven’t hacked it yourself?

Bob, this is a Nexus. The Carrier’s have nothing to do with is and have no say in the rollout of Nexus updates.
Our regional build is yakjuux which is built with some unknown degree of work by samsung then gets released directly from Google’s servers. It will come, people just need to be patient.

pt, yes, it is normal for you to have 4.0.1. All Canadian builds are yakjuux. Google does they yakju build then it seems they contract the rest of the regional builds out to Samsung which takes a few weeks. In this case they encountered some bugs back in december with yakju which caused the whole process to be delayed even longer. 4.0.2 is now rolling out on a region by region basis but not in Canada yet.

4.0.1 on Bell.
I’m not *too* worried about being on 4.0.2 because it really wasn’t a large update worth worrying about that much, however when 4.0.5 hits I’ll likely install the Google factory image to make sure I’m on a build updated by Google and not Samsung so it will be done in a more timely manner in the future.

“Here in Canada, there are reports that some users are still stuck on Android 4.0.1, though most users should have been bumped to 4.0.2 already.”
Incorrect. The Canadian Galaxy Nexus builds have not rolled rolled out 4.0.2 at all. Every week a new region seems to start rolling out, but not ours yet. The only Canadians who would have something other than 4.0.1 would be people who bought a specific device online or off Canadian soil or people who manually flashed an update.

Updated my aws Nexus S with 4.0.3 with the manual download link the night it was released.
My Virgin Galaxy Nexus (on Wind) was the one updated by Samsung, but the first thing I did when I got it was to flash it with the yukju build that changed the update stream to Google. So I’m on 4.0.2 now, and I’m expecting that 4.0.5 will arrive as soon as Google pushes it out the door.

I think given the issues some people had with 4.0.2 and 4.0.3 it’s good they’re giving extra care to 4.0.4/4.0.5. But still the waiting kind of sucks.
Hopefully once those make it out to all regions, then the next updates are on a closer schedule for all.

Wow, this is sad. All those people who bought a Nexus thinking Google fully does the updates, now end up getting screwed. So now the truth is Google isn’t fully doing Nexus updates, Samsung is partially doing the updates now too. This is absolutely inexcusable. The Nexus seriously sucks in a few aspects, and one of the redeeming qualities was supposed to be the latest updates direct from Google. Now that has been proven to be false. Google has proven again they don’t care about honoring agreements or backing up their words.
Just another reason why I will never buy an Android phone.

When I saw update by Samsung, I say : “we won’t see any update, because this is Samsung..”.
http://www.talkandroid.com/78377-nexus-or-not-varying-builds-have-come-to-light-are-your-updates-from-google/#.TzCvOOOP1k4
I hope this guy is right: ” From what I’ve seen so far, most have been successful flashing to the yakju build to ensure their updates come from Google. Without flashing you will still receive the updates though. The multiple builds are in place to stagger OTA updates so that if a problem is discovered it won’t destroy the entire Nexus holding population, only the yakju & mysid build owners
. Although I can sympathasize with the disappoinment this might bring you since a Nexus claim to fame is prompt updates.”

I like the idea of mainlining from Google – flashing to a google build, so updates are as instantly available as possible.
$20 to anyone in the GTA that will flash my GN for me to a google build – can’t be bothered to learn the proceedure myself (I expect you know what you are doing LOL).
Question – I resume no issues with you carrier (Wind) if I am running ‘something else’ that what they gave me with the phone (OS).

Heh.. people feeling pissed all over.. A bunch of us have joined G+ and twitter to vent..

It looks like there is a little bit of momentum behind voicing our concerns on Google+. Please everyone who is on this forum commenting on their disappointment of the Nexus S and it’s lack of customer service, transparency, and update schedule go to Google’s Android Google+ page and voice your concerns there. We already have some doing this. We can use even more! Maybe we can get enough people to make Google or a news source acknowledge us and our frustrations finally.

Nexus S on Koodo and I’m still stuck on 2.3.6. Is there ANY new info out there for us lowly Koodo users? I’m growing rather impatient and fear battery bugs. I know it’s not Koodo; has Google forgotten us? Shouldn’t I at least have 4.0.1? Love my Nexus S but this is ridiculous!

Samsung Google Nexus S 4G on Sprint in USA still on android v 2.3.7 with NFC and Google Wallet!
ICS can’t fix the connectivity issues that plague this phone so who cares about ICS! I won’t be getting the Galaxy Nexus either due to its connectivity issues and Samsung under powered radio transmitters.

I’m still on 2.3.6. I’m on Rogers and have done a
checkin now and then but no OTA update. I’d really
like ICS … Rogers says “it’s not us, it’s all google”
If this is true, I’m confused by why so many Nexus S
users have got an OTA ICS update ..

hey @tom there was originally an update for the GSM Nexus S’ but a staggering amount of people noticed a large amount of bugs in it that crippled their phones such as the radio not working and various other bugs.
so google pulled the update, and i dont feel to bad about it because well id rather wait for a polished OS than have one that has a pretty good chance of wrecking my phone.
so although its taking some time for the update to come out to ICS it is coming and will make everyone with a nexus s feel like they have a brand new phone.

By the way, in case some of you do not know…there are 2 Nexus. The original Samsung nexus S and the Galaxy Nexus. It would be appreciated if people would refer to their phone correctly as this developes confusion. I am using a NEXUS ‘S’ with Telus and am stuck on 2.3.6 as are most users. Some are on various versions and some actually got ICS 4 but then Google stopped the update. Now it seems we will ALL get 4.0.5 in the very near future. (I’ll belive it when I see it)
Also… Neither Telus, Rogers Koodoo or any other carriers are doing the updates and have no control over them. They are coming directly from Google for these handsets.

I manually flashed 4.0.1 from Google’s website and got the upgrade to 4.0.2 immediately afterward (I wanted to see if the auto-update would work, instead of flashing 4.0.2 myself). Glad to be out of Samsung’s stupid localized build now.

Galaxy Nexus user with WIND Mobile. When I turned on the phone this afternoon, it seemed to try to update the OS or something. But as I was trying to make I call, I press the power button again and that message went away. I am still on ICS 4.0.1.
Does anyone know if that was an update to ICS 4.0.5? And how do I get it? Do I just need to plug in my phone (via USB) to my computer?

I had ICS on my Nexus S and it was so much better than Gingerbread. Apart from the overheating, the occasional lag, the battery life, and in the end my USB stopped working, overheating did it apparently. I had a look online and noticed that loads of other people had the same thing happen to them.
I sent my phone off to Samsung the week before last and it came back last week, rooted with Gingerbread 2.3.3 on it (I have since OTA updated it to 2.3.6) although it does have a new USB. So that’s something.
I do miss ICS and I would update it right now manually if I wasn’t worried about the USB going again.

We are in Canada…telus…my husband and I both have nexus s phones. His is black and mine is white. Mine still has 2.3.6 yet his has always updated and just received the 4.0.4 version today. Mine received nothing. I am confused by the yakju or yakjuux software. When I downloaded the App Android System Info…all it said was Herring. How do you find out what version you have. My phone has never worked as well as my husbands. Why haven’t I received any version updates since 2.3.6? Can anyone explain this to me…please?

Cami, if he got his update then it means you will get yours soon. Could be hours, could be up to a few days. Google always staggers their updates randomly. A little too staggered in my opinion. The phone only checks so often for updates, which isn’t very often. But you can force a check with your phone going to your dailer, and putting in the number “#*#*CHECKIN*#*#”

guys u don’t need to root ur phone to get ICS 4.0.4…..just get 4.0.3 OTA update and an 18MB 4.0.4 OTA update available on the internet for Nexus S and then install it from Gingerbread 2.3.6 without the need for rooting….Google is hardly pushing any updates. u have to find the OTA update on the internet and install manually or simply keep waiting for ur phone to die….
