GRJ90 Update info 7/25/11

Skrillex · Jul 25, 2011

So if it is being "pushed" to random people does that mean you can not manually get it through the system update menu and will need to wait your turn?

Most likely. Otherwise they would of said that like they do with the updates that come that way. Patience is a virtue.

"Patience is a virtue"... so is getting what you pay for and having a cell phone capable of connecting to a mobile network! Especially when you have a family with little ones and count on the services you pay your hard earned cash for, for peace of mind.

Dude, your missing the entire point. The update has started today and will roll out over the next 3 weeks. Your making it seem like nothing is being done about it. You know it's here so wait it out. If not, take it back. Get an Evo 3D or hop to another carrier. Oh, and your not the only one with little ones and having issues. It is not that serious that your world will end. If it really sucks that bad for you then you should take actions and change it.

Listen, I bought a Nexus S 4G for a reason. I love the phone and don't want another one. I pre-orded it, picked it up the day it first came out and spent $400 to get it. I believe Sprint is the least evil of all the networks and intend to stick with them. I just want my phone to work as designed and had some specific questions about the update which is why I posted them on a NS4G tech forum. This forum is designed for that very reason, not for self-righteous assholes looking to spread their contentious, conceited remarks after every legitimate question or concern. It tends to piss me off that Sprint doesn't want to bogg down their network with too much data all at once so they make loyal customers wait 3 extra weeks for proper service. Not sure why you felt the need to share your precious words of wisdom after all my posts but I was here for some tech answers not a lecture.

cdw9800 made it available for download on XDA

NS4G 2.3.5 - Page 23 - xda-developers

Can you please verify that the mobile hotspot is still working for free with this update on a Stock, UNrooted Nexus? Thanks a lot!

Deleted User · Jul 25, 2011

You can grab it right from google:

there still there, and no warnings or flags popped up when I checked them

Deleted User · Jul 25, 2011

Woot! Grabbed the update right from the google servers, put it on my phone and just flashed it. Phone is booting back up as we speak. (note, to use the file directly from google you have to be stock and unrooted)

You don't need to wait 3 weeks. Grab the update and flash it manually (if you are stock and unrooted).

Grab the above link I posted and you can use the below link for step by step (just substitute the downloaded file from above):

hate to say it, but it's looking like this update was just a visual fix

vw_strwrs · Jul 25, 2011

Woooohooo!!!! 2.3.5.
Thanks you forum and those that posted the necessary links

I want to give a shout out to my little ones!!!

defininmoment · Jul 25, 2011

grabbed the update doesnt seem to have changed anything

ROB281 · Jul 25, 2011

I noticed the difference in signal strength once I stepped out of the office

ericpro · Jul 25, 2011

i tried this and it worked! 2.3.5...lets see if i see any difference..will post later...

ericpro · Jul 25, 2011

so far i cant find the 4g widget...anyone?

Justinlara313 · Jul 25, 2011

When I download it all it does is say it's a theme for widget locker. I'm confused.

Slug · Jul 25, 2011

Tone the vitriol down. please. This is a user-to-user forum, not one supported by Google, Samsung or Sprint. Ragging on each other won't bring the update any quicker than by the means already noted.

Civility costs nothing, whereas rudeness always has a price.

Cool.. Thanks for the update! You noticing a difference on 3G, 4G, or both?

I can pull full strength signals on 4g, & 3g wifi still sucks though

There's no 4g widget, in fact outside of the radio I see no other changes

babyarm74 · Jul 25, 2011

So when it says signal strength indicators, is that to be interpreted as:
1) same crappy reception, yet the display will now show more bars?
2) same crappy reception, and the display will now show fewer bars?

Improved indicators does not translate to improved reception. It just sounds like the display will be calibrated a bit better with the actual poor reception.

I will continue to wait for my update and lurk here to review other experiences.

Anyone with the update an unrooted phone: are you still able to actually surf on a laptop using the hotspot (wireless tether) feature?

Some people were reporting that while hotspot still starts up, Sprint won't send any data over it. Is this true? Did the update kill hotspot?

I'd like to hear more verification on this, too. for Non-rooted phones.
