A little more factory image love has been dished out by Google this afternoon. They recently added Android 4.1.2 images for the “Yakju” version of the Galaxy Nexus, which is the non-playstore variety. The Nexus S (i9020t, i9023) both also made the cut this round too. They also added a new...

Many of you have started to see your Nexus S get a snazzy little OTA update hot your screen. No, you are not dreaming, yes it is Jelly Bean. We let you guys know a little earlier that the OTA was reportedly hitting some devices and even offered up and XDA page to get the file manually if you are the...

I know many of you have been checking for updates on your Google Nexus S through out the week hoping and praying that the Jelly Bean OTA from Google would magically appear on your device. Well, at least all of you on a GSM version. We have seen a few talks of the update landing in Pakistan and Asia...

Some of you Nexus S owners out there might remember a post we put up yesterday about a new Jelly Bean AOSP built ROM for your device. That was created by XDA member legolas93 and seemed to get some pretty great feedback. Since then he has been busy working his developer magic and has since pulled a...

Last week we alerted the U.S. users of the Nexus S and the Galaxy Nexus (GSM) that an update to Android 4.0.4 was getting underway. At the same time, users of the Wi-Fi only Motorola XOOM were also on the list to be getting an update. Now there are reports coming in from Canadian users of those devices...

Earlier today the AOSP got a new source to work with, Android 4.0.4. This news definitely made a few people in the development community happy. The new incremental update is said to have hundreds of small changes that make the overall experience even better, not sure how that is possible. Google engineer...

Wouldn’t it be amazingly great if the Nexus S received an official ICS build before the Galaxy Nexus ever got launched on Verizon? If things continue they way there are, it might just happen. According to some internal Google employees, they have been receiving some OTA updates for ICS on their...

Well Hugo, you may have crushed many hopes and dreams this morning when you flat out stated the Nexus One wouldn’t get an official Ice Cream Sandwich Update. At least you came back with some rather good news though. Hugo let every one know that existing Nexus S devices will be receiving the usual...

A few weeks ago this nearly identical update dropped for the Google Nexus S and came with a heavy price. It was reported that the update was breaking WiFi and tethering options on the devices that installed it. After this issue was identified to be a constant problem, Google pulled the update to avoid...

Here is something we have all been waiting to take a look at, the infamous Ice Cream Sandwich. As it would appear, RootzWiki king, Captainkrtek has his hands on a bit of the latest OS from Google. Not truly a hands on experience, but their source was able to provide some great screen shots and relay...

What a shocker! Not really, we all knew tethering with out paying an arm and a leg from the carrier for a standard feature was starting to get noticed in a bad way. With the latest update for the Nexus S from Sprint, they have managed to kill that functionality and require you to get a data package...

Just like with all direct devices from Google, the Nexus S will be getting another update to latest firmware that is available. Even though the addition .1 in the update is nice to see, it isn’t anything all that exciting unlike the 2.3.4 update was. This latest update will focus most of its attention...

Today at Google’s Press Conference, they introduced what they say will be the next best thing in mobile payments. They have named this product Google Wallet. Google Wallet will work hand in hand with Near Field Communication, or NFC for short. For those of you who do not know how NFC works, here...

User Metridom on XDA has compiled a list of the known updates that will get your Google Nexus S upgraded to Android 2.3.4 right now without waiting for your OTA update to hit.  He’s been compiling a list from different sources and shows what version of what device can currently apply the update. You...

Like many of you, I was eagerly waiting to find out what surprise @googlenexus had in store. Sadly it wasn’t exactly what I hoping for. Still, the update is another step in right direction. What I found funny was a comment a friend of mine made to me after hearing it the update was to include...
