Also, you guys that got your OTA updates, did it wipe your phone?

Is there any good kernels (batter life wise) that works with CM9? I used morfic's TEUV for 2.3.6 but that didn't work when I tried to flash it with CM9.

I tried installing CM9 Alfa 17. My 3g connection is connected but it's gray so I have no data. I tried flashing the radio to UCKF1 and KD1 my data still doesn't work.
Any one had that issue and found a way to fix it?
EDIT: NM Fixed data issue... had to change the APN settings. ICS feels sluggish... Using CM9 Alfa 17 /w Glados 2.2

can someone explain to me what the point of the recent app list is for? it's the list that pops up when you hold down the home button. are those apps running in the background or are they just stored as memory for faster access? does it take up more batteries if i leave them there?
thanks! i can't seem to find an answer in google.

thanks! i can't seem to find an answer in google. | multitask, those are few apps that are running in the background, simply "swipe" them off the screen, as if you were rubbin them out to close the app.
correct me if im wrong.

yea apparently there have been some complaints about failed installation and such. also there seems to be some issues with battery life?
since i already have the ics update, which i don't see that much difference in battery life, will the next update automatically patch up any errors that i have on my existing ics? and there's no way to revert to 2.3.6 after installing 4.0 is there?

is there a way to go back to GB if you are unhappy with ICS? I am referring to the vanilla GB without any mods and not from Cyanogen or other cooks.

I keep telling my buddy to wait for the Galaxy Nexus cause it is pure Android and will update when available without having to wait for manufacturer crap that may never come... yet FFS Why isn't ICS out for my Nexus S yet?

Nexus S is pure android as well. unlock your bootloader, install clockwork mod, go to xda and find ics. i've been running mine for the past few weeks. some members here have had it for months
