Worked a charm for me.
Loving ICS 4.0.3. on my Nexus S.
Had to uninstall google+ cause it kept saying “error” but otherwise all good.
I’d also advise setting screen brightness to auto and timeout to 30 seconds.
has anyone tried to upgrade from 4.0.1 to 4.0.3?
I installed 4.0.1 on my Nexus S a few weeks ago and this update won’t work for me as it is looking for the 2.3.6 version during the upgrade…
any ideas?
i love farm frezzy but is only for andorid phones i have a android tablet;[
Does it work with HTC sensation se?
try update your android application just plug it in to the internet…..update
