Sprint Nexus S 4G update canceled
Summary: The flaky Android update system has resulted in the postponement of the update for the Sprint Nexus S 4G. Even Google's flagship Android phone isn't safe from the awful update process.
Have you been waiting for the bug fixing update that Sprint was rolling out for the Nexus S 4G on July 11? You should stand down as something has forced the carrier to postpone the update until some unspecified date in the future. No reason was given for holding off on the Nexus S 4G OTA update, unlike the one for the Samsung Transform that began rolling out but "was failing" before cancelation. That one will be rescheduled for some point when the update will actually work.
The Nexus S 4G update will bring the flagship Google phone to the latest version of Gingerbread. More importantly the update addresses signal strength issues that some Sprint customers have reported affecting both phone calls and data connections. Hopefully it won't be long delayed for those customers.
These update problems demonstrate once again how poorly the Android update system works. It's never known which phones will get a given update, or when it might happen if so. Now we have a couple of handsets that are to get an update which gets canceled for reasons unknown. It is not a simple process for Android handset makers, that is certain.

I haven't really had issues with mine either, using it in S.F. Bay Area and Los Angeles. Also a recent trip to TX. It didn't do so well in Seattle, however. I wonder if it's more network-related than the phone itself? For those interested, my review on the Nexus S (published by Law Technology News) is here:

RE: Sprint Nexus S 4G update canceled
We certainly don't know that this issue ties to the Android update system. It could entirely be that Sprint is once again using the system to push out a crap update. Bad code on Sprint's end.
That's not a problem with the system or even process, and it's misleading to imply that it is. That's entirely on Sprint.
Google provides a transport method for OEM's and carriers to pump their code to their phones. I don't believe that system is at issue, but this article/author definitely seems to be pointing the finger in that direction.
