Samsung are beginning to roll out the fix for the volume bug. https://twitter.com/#!/SamFirmware/status/140471495288823808
Any more info, like a date, when to expect the update?
Oh, wait, it's Samsung, so it will arrive "anytime soon", which means "by the end of November", which actually means "maybe November, but definitely in December"...
Nice, I should have my Nexus by Tues or Wednesday then.
Interesting it's a radio update, not Android or anything lower level.
How will the fix be delivered? direct to the handset via update or USB?
Too bad they don't seem to have a link to it.

OTA to the handset.
Once someone gets the OTA - they can pull it from a logcat and get the URL - then anyone can download apply without waiting for their IMEI to be flagged to receive the update.
Hm, but this doesn't seem to be an official Twitter account / Website of Samsung.

How do you know it's radio only update?

because it's referencing an increment to the baseband version, and not mentioning anything about an Android version number.
that being said, we don't know what's going to happen yet...

Because the name of the update is the name of the baseband,not Android.
I am pretty sure it will be more than just the radio, P3Droid tweeted on the 22nd about ICL52 and Adnroid 4.2 with a new baseband.... When though Samsung??!!
We were told the ICL53b update contained the fix, no mention of the baseband version. I can try to get more info but its a holiday weekend here so no idea if i will be able to reach him.

As has been proven the bug occurs when the phone is in the bootloader, so it's nothing to do with Android.
The patch needs to be at a hardware level, so it will be firmware update. That comes from Samsung, not Google.
It might be the case that the patch for this particular problem was developed by Samsung but it'll still be released by Google not Samsung. So we are waiting for both but ultimately it'll be Googles decision when to push it. At least that's my understanding of the update process of a Nexus phone.
some people in this thread need to remember a few things:
1) Nexus handsets are made as a collaboration between Google and whoever the chosen manufacturer is.
2) Google push all unbranded Nexus updates, not the manufacturer.
in the case of this update, it will likely be pushed as an update to Android anyway - I have never seen a baseband change come through to an Android handset without it being with an incremental update to Android.
I've got to the stage when I don't care who does what - all I want is an update so that the phone is usable. I suspect many early adopters think the same.
I agree mate. I don't care if apple make the fix. For me this weekend staying in London my phone was unusable in certain parts. Grrrrrrrr

So since updates for Galaxy Nexus (CDMA) will come directly from google and they just announced 4.0.3. Do you think we should be seeing an OTA soon or should we expect hassle from Verizon?
http://googledata.org/uncategorized...=android-4-0-3-platform-and-updated-sdk-tools
Updates directly from Google :-D
http://androidandme.com/2011/12/dev...s-devices-will-be-updated-directly-by-google/
No matter who the update officially comes from, Verizon still has to check it first. They're going to make sure it works on their network before pushing out.
That being said, you should expect it soon. If Google says its coming, its probably pretty close.

Well it has to go to the carrier at some point. It definitely gets expedited in this situation but you'd be crazy to think that Verizon would ever let an update push out to thousands of people without any testing.
Since the updates will comes straight from Google it is my theory that Google will work closely with Verizon to test the OTA prior to pushing it out. Basically, no worries that we are going to get anything later than anyone else. Google won't push it out till it has approval from both sides.

The point is if Samsungs twitter is correct my non yakju Nexus gets updated by Google rather than Samsung.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
According to Samsung Sweden it is google pushing out the updates BUT samsung has to review the updates and do quality control for local carriers first so I guess it depends on what the nature of the update is if it's going to be delayed or not.
We have yakjuxw here aswell.
This comes from their facebook page though and they have been saying all kinds of crap there before so not sure if it's like that or not but it sounds like they had researched it better this time so it can be correct.
Guys.. it really doesn't matter what your device is you are going to get updates no matter what..
Not everyone gets updates at the same time no matter what so there isn't a point in worrying about it..
I wouldn't even bother listening to a company's twitter feed. They usually don't know the details (or anything for that matter...)

Precisely. Considering there are staggered rollouts for OTAs anyways, there's a good chance you'll get your update to your "Samsung" phone before "Google" phones lol. It really doesn't matter. Nexus is a Nexus.

This. All updates are pushed by Google, whether you are running yakju, or a localized build. However, as Snoemannen said, the first non-yakju OTA's will generally tend to come out later than the first yakju OTA's, as Samsung reviews them. This is not to say that if you have a yakju build, you will get your OTA before a non-yakju build - only saying that the first yakju update will come before the first non-yakju update. Now, as long as that first person grabs the update URL, then we all should have updates quickly!
It's time to stop yakking about all these different builds and be happy that Google will get you all the updates.

Slow updates from Google
Then it seems that Google is very slow to push out newer updates since 4.0.4 exists and talk about 4.0.5 has already started.
My Galaxy Nexus is on 4.0.2 and is set to get updates direct from Google, it kinda defeats one of the main points of getting a Nexus device that being getting updates faster than non nexus devices regardless of carrier.
I'd prefer to keep my device stock for the time being, thoughts?
Would you prefer the alternative of updates that break more than they fix?
If you think people complain now, imagine how much they would if that happened.
4.0.4 exists AS A TEST.

How about that hundreds of Canadians took to the web reporting that immedately after 4.0.2 was released their market app started crashing. The fact that NFC options disappeared from settings at the same time. The crash reports posted here and elsewhere. The seven page thread here on xda. The news reports on various sites. The bug report on code.google.com. The fact that the update was pulled just 48 hours after rollout and hasn't been re-released. All that silly evidence confirms the 'rumour'.

No one knows who does the coding, testing, or certification procedures for either the yakju or non-yakjuux builds. Somewhere between Google and Samsung.
Google handles Yakju. They said it themselves. However yes, they are being quite elusive about the variants.

Yeah. 949 kb is tinyyyyy. I can't believe Verizon would be this quick about an update Google has been working on for a week and released a day or two ago! But no..... a somewhat major software revision has to take 2 months. I realize the fact that it is only a very, very small update, and it doesn't change any major software/radio stuff... but still. You know what would be cool? If verizon pushed out software updates (i.e 4.0.4, 4.1) clean at first, then follow up with a second update on the radios.

If you've already installed it, the easiest way would be to look through the log files in /cache with a text viewer and look for a file name ending in .zip.

Wierd, even verizons support site doesn't have this update listed. http://support.verizonwireless.com/system_update/galaxynexus.html. Normally they list the update a few days before roll out on that site. Unless they really had to rush to get around the ban. Curious what's in this update, or if its real.

Yeah, i know thats what it probably is. Verizon just always puts out a pdf on the support sites of their phones no matter how minuscule the update is. Like one that turned off the initial 4g free tethering last year said something like "enables 4g tethering plans" or something like that. Oh you tricky VZ...

Definitely very weird that VZW wouldn't have updated the support PDFs. They update those things religiously when there's an OTA.
I hope this IMM76Q update isn't another IMM30B where someone accidentally pushes it to a few devices, shuts it off, and it fades into the ether, leaving anyone who applied the update stranded.

Technically, the updates come from Google. Since this update has nothing to do with aspects that would be specific to carrier use they probably didn't involve Verizon in this one.

As far as I'm aware, that's not an option. I believe VZW has to test and approve every single OTA that goes out to a phone on their network, regardless of how small or whether there is anything carrier-specific in it.
Apple is the lone exception to this rule. Verizon lets them do whatever the hell they want with the iPhone and iPad.
I spoke to a verizon tech rep this week---he said there was an update pending and suggested it was more about a radio fix. However, I'd take that with a grain of salt

That's very unfortunate then.
It's probably just an update regarding the whole patent situation
Since the phone was released, there has been three updates to the OS. I got the first one out of the box like most, but the following two have not graced my device.
Has anyone else gotten the OTA's for these builds?
I find it interesting on which devices get certain waves of the rollout of these OTA's.
Thanks!

I'm surprised they didn't pull the first one since flashing its radio enables Band 12.

The first one disables Band 12, along with whatever else Google wanted to change. The most recent one just released today so you'll likely be prompted for an OTA shortly, and it's a security release.

MDA89E was ship OS
MDB08I Disabled Band 12 and whatnot when it was delivered.
MDB08L is the one in question, what was this one?
MDB08M is the newest one that is a security release, that one is the one we are waiting on right now.
So what was the MDB09L release? Is it a real thing that people got? This is not complexly aimed at you, but to ask the questions to XDA as well. x3
Probably be better to ask Google.
