Sprint discontinues Nexus S 4G
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesGoogleSprintNexus S 4G
Sprint has officially discontinued sales of the Nexus S 4G, we've learned. The recent release of the Galaxy Nexus would be the obvious reason for the move, though some Sprint customers (and Android fans) may still mourn the passing of its predecessor — we've heard many smartphone users say they prefer the 4-inch form factor, and the recent upgrade to Ice Cream Sandwich kept it as relevant as ever.

Nexus S 4G ICS update starts rolling out
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsGoogleNexus S 4GAndroid 4.0
A few weeks ago we told you Android 4.0 was coming to the Nexus S 4G soon, then just a few days ago we saw a leaked update based on Android 4.0.4. Sprint just let us know that the update is officially rolling out, starting now. The update brings a number of new enhancements from Ice Cream Sandwich, including Android Beam, a new camera interface with panorama mode and the new UI enhancements in Android 4.0 that we've come to love. Sprint's email says that the update will be automatically downloaded to the user's phone when it is available, so keep an eye out for a prompt to apply. It will be sent out in waves, and they make no mention of a manual download process. For those of you rockin...

Nexus S 4G official Android 4.0.4 update leaked, WiMAX radio improvements included?
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsGoogleNexus S 4GAndroid 4.0
Google released its Android 4.0.4 updates for the GSM Nexus S just a couple of days ago, but for users with Sprint's version of the phone it's been a long wait for Ice Cream Sandwich. Thankfully, BriefMobile has posted what it says is the official over-the-air 4.0.4 ROM for the WiMAX-enabled Nexus S. Along with the newest version of Android, the update has a new baseband that early adopters say has significantly improved WiMAX reception. The site promises that the update will be released OTA for the Nexus S 4G soon, but we've been here before — two months ago a similar 4.0.4 ROM for the device was leaked. If you're not convinced that the update is coming soon and you're aware of the risks, c...

Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsGoogleNexus S 4GAndroid 4.0
Well, that didn't take long. Sprint may not have opened its own icebox just yet, but thanks to a BriefMobile source, Nexus S 4G owners can snag themselves Ice Cream Sandwich anyway. While there have been previous efforts, BriefMobile says the leak contains the full, official ICS update, which will be delivered to handsets OTA shortly. Of course, if you can't wait the site has full installation instructions. Hit the source link below to get started.

Google Nexus S and Google Nexus S 4G both to get Android 4.0 update in the next few weeks
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesGoogleNexus SNexus S 4G
Own a Google Nexus S or a Google Nexus S 4G? If you are sporting either model, we have some good news. A source for Engadget says that the Android 4.0 update is coming to both models in the next few weeks. Of course, that doesn't give us a precise date to work with, but at least you know it is on the way. Pity the poor Motorola DROID RAZR owners who only know for now that while their device will get Ice Cream Sandwich according to the manufacturer, the update is so early in the process that Motorola can't even venture a guess which quarter it will be available.

Samsung Nexus S 4G updated to Android 2.3.7, brings Google Wallet support
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsGoogleAndroid 2.3Nexus S 4G
It looks like the rumors are true, folks -- the long-awaited update that brings Google Wallet to the Samsung Nexus S 4G on Sprint is indeed here, just two days shy of missing the "summer" deadline completely. We're pretty scant on details at the moment, but the announcement has shown up on an official FAQ page on Samsung's site informing us that build GWK74 is available. If you're a proud owner of the now fully-functional device, you should receive a notification stating that an update is available to deliver the goods via an OTA refresh. We're not sure how long it will take for this to get pushed out to everyone, so a bit of patience may need to be exercised here as you wait. Let us know if...

Google Nexus S 4G getting update for Google Wallet compatibility
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesGoogleNexus S 4G
The time has come, Samsung and Google have finally made the update for the Nexus S 4G smartphone that enables Google Wallet compatibility available.
According to Samsung's support site for the Nexus S 4G, the GWK74 build for the phone adds the necessary parts to make Google Wallet work. The update is installed over-the-air, so owners should be seeing a notification on their phones when it is ready to be downloaded and installed.
Of course, this could be a mistake, and it could take even longer for the update, and Google Wallet, to arrive. Google did promise that it would show up this summer, so technically it has two days left to get this update out to users.

After debuting on the Nexus S 4G, the new Swype update is coming to all enabled handsets
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesGoogleNexus S 4G
Last week, an update to the Swype keyboard application was made available to those using the Nexus S 4G as a Sprint exclusive. As we reported, the update brought to the Swype users on the handset a dictionary, automatic capitalizing of proper nouns and using gestures to select text and for editing. Later this week, a beta version of the update will be made available to all other handsets that support the swipe to type system. Of course, the Sprint skin will be removed first.

Google Nexus S 4G to get data speed update on July 25
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesGoogleNexus S 4G
Sprint said Friday that it was rolling out a speed update for the Nexus S 4G. A patch will tackle complaints and improve speeds on the WiMAX network. The carrier said it had worked with both Google and Samsung to identify slowdown points.
The company claimed that the issue only affected a "small" number of customers, though the issues have been more widespread.
Other fixes bring improvement to how the Nexus S 4G handles Wi-Fi, boost audio quality, and add TTY (Teletype) support for those with poor hearing. Owners can start checking for the update on July 25 and, if they don't update manually, should get the patch automatically sometime within the next three weeks.

Google Nexus S 4G joins Skype video chat party
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesGoogleNexus S 4G
While the Google Nexus S was one of the four lucky phones to get the new video calling feature in Skype for Android, the Nexus S 4G variant for Sprint had no such luck. Well, today is another day, and it looks like Skype has added video calling support for the WiMAX version of the Nexus S. Version 2.0.0.47 is available now, and it adds support for the Nexus S 4G on Sprint and the Nexus S in Europe, which was also lacking video calling. Skype did not provide a reason why these phones didn't have the feature from the get-go.
