Nexus S Android 4.0 update paused, Galaxy Nexus also affected?


Google temporarily stops Android 4.0 Nexus S update due to “battery issue,” Samsung Galaxy Nexus also affected?
The much-anticipated Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich update for the 2010 Samsung Nexus S was discontinued on Tuesday, according to a report posted by Electronista. The situation was confirmed by Google’s Paul Wilcox adding that the company will start monitoring feedbacks.
According to reports, Nexus S owners who have upgraded to Android 4.0 are experiencing battery drain problems and it could be related to the new operating system’s “heavy” processor usage. Google hasn’t confirmed the battery drain issue yet.
Some users say they received the Android 4.0 update but “disappeared” after the reboot. Google’s Wilcox added, “The Android 4.0 update is continuing to roll out around the world so your phone will receive another update notification when it’s available again in your region.”
A small number of Samsung Galaxy Nexus owners are also reporting the same battery drain problem. One affected customer said, “my Galaxy nexus has been losing battery significantly even in sleep mode,” he adds, “I have now reset the phone to factory mode and yet noticed the same battery usage by a ‘Android OS’ process. I have no apps, nothing installed other than resetting phone to factory state. Therefore there are no processes to synching on the phone, etc.”
Google hasn’t formally acknowledged the battery drain issue on the Samsung Galaxy Nexus but the company’s Android team hasn’t pushed the Android 4.0.3 update to the devices yet.
The Samsung Galaxy Nexus or the Verizon Galaxy Nexus with 4G LTE is the first smartphone with Android 4.0 operating system. Google launched the Android 4.0.2 update right after the new variant’s release in United States last week.
