Vodafone Australia halts Android 4.1 update for Nexus S

Carrier says Jelly Bean doesn’t meet Australian emergency call regulations

Vodafone Nexus S users were set to receive a Christmas in July present today, in the form of a over the air update to Android 4.1, better known as Jelly Bean.

However, a blog post from Vodafone announced that it was delaying the update due to Jelly Bean “not [meeting] all the Australian regulatory requirements related to emergency calls”.

Obviously this will affect any carrier or manufacturer hoping to roll-out Android 4.1 and the onus goes back to Google to fix this issue before an Australian release is possible. It also raises some interesting questions for anyone who’s already installed the OS on a rooted phone.

We’ve contacted Google for information on when the software might be fixed for Australia and will update as information comes to hand.
