Google has announced that it has put a temporary stop to the roll-out of Android 4.0, also known as Ice Cream Sandwich, to Nexus S users. Speaking via the Google support pages, Google community manager Paul Wilcox has informed users that the update had been paused in some areas to give the company an opportunity to “monitor feedback.” Judging from the statement, it doesn’t seem to have affected users in all countries, as Wilcox says the update is continuing ‘around the world’ and that users will receive a second notification once the update is available in their region once again.

If you received an update notification a little while ago but the update isn’t currently available for your phone, this is likely the result of Google pausing the update in your area while we monitor feedback. 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.

Mr. Wilcox did not elaborate on the feedback Google is currently monitoring and Google has yet to release an official statement on the matter, but Electronista reports that it could be because users have been reporting “unusually high battery drain,” which the site thinks could be down to an increase in processor usage. We’ll keep you posted on this issue and update if Google confirms or contradicts these reports.
