just out of interest, how well does ICS run on the Nexus S compared to the GNex?

The GN is faster and smoother (not unexpected). It runs very well on the S and feels nice and quick, certainly a great improvement over 2.3.6. People will be very happy when they get ICS.

Still no sign of 4.0.2

 

[Cosimo]

No 4.0.2. Are you still waiting?

 

[Cosimo]

Are people seriously talking about benchmarking results for games/3D performance on a phone?

It keeps a few geeks excited and happy.

 

[Cosimo]

So.......you guys who had the phone a while like it?
Any bad points?

Had it from day one and it's the best smartphone I've had. I've a few quibbles about the camera but I can live with those. The smile on my face will be here for a while yet.

 

[Cosimo]

Mine should be here tomorrow or Wednesday, finally.

Has it arrived?

 

[Cosimo]

No sign of 4.0.2. I wonder if they’re going to go straight to 4.0.3.

 

[Cosimo]

No, it'll be here tomorrow.

You must be shaking with excitement.

 

[Cosimo]

Mine is here. Finally.

Nice, enjoy!

The fruitless check for 4.0.2 continues.

is the 402 update? i had mine 2 weeks back with o2 phone and voda sim

We were on 4.0.1 and then went from build ITL41D to ITL41F still remaining on 4.0.1. The 4.0.2 OTA appears to have stopped for most in the UK. It is here:

[Cosimo]

You can count on it!

Let's have your 24 hour report?

 

[Cosimo]

Still no 4.0.2 here, with an o2 phone

I suspect that they've put a brake on this OTA.

 

[Cosimo]

I guess the GN was a very early Christmas present!

Merry Christmas to you all.

I had another bash and it came out much better with the video defaulting to 1080p:

nice and sharp, shame about the footage

It was better than the result.

I've found a very strange problem (and Google suggests it can't be fixed yet).

Text prediction on the keyboard doesn't work in the browser, it's fine in everything else but it just doesn't appear in the browser. Has anyone found a workaround for this or do we need to wait for an update?

That's a pretty poor show from Google but other than that it's superb.

It's a bit of a pain but we'll have to wait for a fix.

There are a few variants of ICS build around:

The yakju version is GSM, mysid is CDMA/LTE version and we know that these are updated by Google. But there are also versions with regional differences so there’s yakjuxw and other yakju variants which have been signed by Samsung.

We should all have yakju here in the UK. You can use Android System Info to confirm which you have:

To all those still waiting for 4.0.1, the OTA appears to have been resumed.

Mine does pretty damn well -
