Clear apps data.
Do a factory reset if problem persists.
There should not be any after cleaning data,cache and factory reset.

Please post the links of Google forum you mentioned.
2 of my came to me with similar problems(phone book and gmail),working perfectly after data wipe.

Read about battery improvements in ICS :
ICS Battery life improved by ending... - xda-developers

Battery Life Improved with ICS update?

Also Sam reported improvements in battery in his CM9 Reveiw, but read about your fast drain when you were on CM9.

You are right,a lot of people with Nexus S is having massive drain on ICS.

Google probably will never be able to deliver a perfect o.s. even for their own phone.
So much more open source!

Re: Nexus s ics 4.0.3 update isuues

Well only for ICS battery can't drain that fast. As you're flashing it new and maybe yet to get used to it that's why you have a feeling like that.
When you first stepped into GB was battery cool from the first day, nah, you disabled some active-syncs, checked some wakelocks and disabled some bloatwares and blah blah and that took time, the same is needed for this new ROM.
Hope you got my point.

Re: Nexus s ics 4.0.3 update isuues

Yesterday shifted to stock 4.0.3

It is faster and responsive...
But it is only the UI that i'm badly missing fron MIUI.
MIUI was very user friendly.

I have 2.0. It is k with the battery back up and performance. But i am not ok with the features.

nope..

All the ICS MIUI I tried were unstable. Either the DSP manager or the music app or something will crash.. I got irriatated and shifted to stock ICS and now to CM9.
But i must say that the gingerbread MIUIs were damn good..


BTB, i was having CM9 2.1 only. I misunderstood it was some new version you were talking about.
