Google yanks Android update for Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus

Over the weekend our Dear Leader kindly informed me that it would credibly be a good idea to do a brief brushup of Google’s first OTA Ice Emollient Sandwich update. Usually when Fudo says something would be a good idea, it is more similar a Papal bull, or a fatwa, merely not this time around.

Google has drawn the plug on the Android 4.0.3. OTA update for the Nexus S and, of course, it won’t exist showing up for the Galaxy Nexus either. Eventide users who managed to download the update are forthwith reporting that the installation is refusing to cooperate.

It appears the release is quite buggy and users who receive coped to cause Google’s official ICS release coursing on their Nexus S are reporting some serious battery drain issues. This seems to be a trend in the mobile industry, as both Apple’s iPhone 4S and Nokia’s flagship Lumia 800 faced alike issues.

So where does this leave us? Well, it leaves me without a telephone update and it leaves our readers without two reviews, one of ICS on the old Nexus S, which would be a nice benchmark for users of single-core Android phones, but secondly we are straightaway too stuck with a Galaxy Nexus review sample sans 4.0.3 update, which has likewise been delayed.

Of course, it is relatively slowly to install ICS manually, snuff for a custom ROM or whatnot, merely that’s beside the point. In fact, one of the master reasons people purchase Nexus phones in the first position is because of regular updates away of the box, something that users of other Android phones can hardly tally on.

Google is not expression when the official updates will roll out, again, only we think the issues could be resolved soon.
