Did you guys with imported gsm galaxy nexus get your update?
I thought it would be nice to have a thread about when updates were being received for GSM Nexus in the US. When did you get the update? Where did you buy your nexus? What country is your GSM nexus imported from? Also what carrier are you using?
I got the 4.0.2 update pushed to my imported (UK -> US) GN yesterday. I installed a custom ROM running 4.0.2 and it went away though.
I guess ill start. Im running 4.0.1 on T-Mobile and still havent gotten mine yet. Got it from expansys and i think its from UK. I did get the first OTA update to 4.0.1 when i turned the phone for the first time 2 weeks ago.

I'm on at&t in California and as soon as I powered on my phone and had gotten sufficient hspa speeds, my phone updated, but only to 4.0.1. I bought my GN from Negri

I'm on T-Mobile, ordered from Expansys as well, but still no update to 4.0.2
I did get the volume bug fix when the phone was first powered on as well.

Same with me.
It makes no difference what carrier you are on or where you are geographically. When your IMEI is up and you at minimum are connected to wifi when it checks you will be notified. You don't even need a SIM in the phone. Also it would probably help that you have the yakju Google build.

I got my GNex from Negri Electronics. Originally, I had the Samsung firmware build, so I flashed the stock yakju 4.0.1 image. I still haven't received the OTA.
I have a GSM version from Handtec. It arrived Tues morning. It received 4.0.1 update the first time I fired it up. I received 4.0.2 update? Wed? Or? Thurs?, can't remember. I'm on AT&T, for what its worth.

I'm on T-Mobile. Has anyone else received an update notification? If it matters I got mine shipped a while back from Handtec after the very first batch but on the second.
Exactly the same situation here.
Expansys import (presumably from UK)
Yakju
now at 4.0.1 (I do remember getting 4.0.1)
No 4.0.2 (or 4.0.3, for that matter)
Check-in succeeds but has no effect
updates
got my gnex yesterday played with for half a day no update, came with itl41d 4.0.1
got 4.0.2 update from google page myself, and pushed via fastboot.
Got tired of waiting. Updated manually using these instructions: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...-0-2-using-factory-imgs-w-o-wiping-phone.html

Not true, it will notify on HSPA as well. Mine offered to update with the volume bug fix before I could even leave the store with the phone.
On T-Mobile here. Got on 4.0.1 within minutes of turning on the phone. Still no 4.0.2.

tmo here still on 4.0.1
Got my Galaxy Nexus from Expansys...still waiting on 4.0.2 but got the 4.0.1 update. Since 2007, I have only used an iPhone (jailbroken and unlocked) - so this whole update process is new to me.
I am on T-Mobile, but I am not sure carrier has anything to do with it...from reading other posts it seems its IMEI. My question is - on previous Android updates whats the estimated window (maximum) it takes for the update to be pushed out to all devices? A week, month?

Got the 4.0.1 update as soon as I turned the phone on
Still no 4.0.2
Hello everyone,
I was wondering how many of my fellow Canucks have received the 4.0.2 update. My cousin in Toronto received the OTA update last week. I am in London and have yet to receive the update. Also, do they roll it out based on IMEI number, phone number, location, etc? Thanks!
I haven't gotten it yet, I have a feeling it's been pulled because it broke the Market somehow, and NFC was also reported to be missing.
I heard of people receiving the OTA notification in early March and then apparently it was pulled because, as you say, it was inactivating NFC and the Market. However, my cousin received his update just last week and I assumed that they had begun to release it again. The Google Play update fixed the market issue anyway, but I have not asked him if his NFC works.
It seems to me that they should just forget about 4.0.2 at this point and just wait until the next revision. Might be another several months for us Canucks though lol
With Bell and got the phone release date.
I got the update when if first appeard in Canada (early March). But had to fix the NFC issue with a patch and is working fine now.
My wife's gnex on Rogers (bought on Rogers official rls date ~ mid Jan) has not received the update however.
Sammy Canada confirmed it had pulled the update due to "issues"
I didn't have it about 2 weeks after the update first went live, so I gave up and flashed a 4.0.3 ROM.
Same here, I didn't get it on Telus Vancouver so I flashed AOKP.

I have limited experience in this regard, but I may just flash to CM9 once it is released. I'm disappointed that Canada is so far behind the rest of the world when it comes to these updates.
Even if they had not encountered any problems, we would have officially received 4.0.2 several months after the rest of the world right?
Either flash the yakjuux 4.0.2 update yourself (see here), or flash the yakju 4.0.2 images yourself (see here). Problem solved.

Apart from being on the latest and greatest, which is why many of us bought Nexus phones, is there something in 4.0.2 you really really want? I'm still on stock yakjuux on 4.0.1 and have not yet received the OTA update either, but looking at the unofficial changelogs, I don't think there is anything in the update that would change my user experience

Hello all,
So bestbuy is offering a Free Galaxy Nexus to new customers or upgrades. So i went ahead and got one. I did get one back in january and its a little beat up, and i love this phone so much i dont want anything else thats out right now. The problem im having is the phone wont stay in service, i cant send texts, calls, interent sometimes works but mostly doesnt. I went back and they gave me a new one and its still the same issues. I decided to stop at verizon and see what they can do, all the rep did was change my sim card and the problem is still there. When i go to the system settings and the Build number on the new one is IMM76Q and my old nexus has IMM76K, eveything else is the same. Any suggestions are welcome, at this point im considering just rooting it and going with a jelly bean rom until the official ota comes out
Has anyone used the SGH-I257M on US AT&T?
As I understand, it has the bands for multiple networks. The reason for asking is AT&T is dragging their feet.
Info I got from AT&T was that it has enough roll outs for Christmas and are not going to bring out the S4 Mini until January. My contract is up, S3 & S4 are too big for a pocket, I ditched my S3, I'm using an S2 clocked at 1.7 and gutted, nice phone, but time for a new toy to play with. I'm tired of waiting on the 'Mini', but flashable US Basebands will be unavailable for some time so I'm hoping someone has done this. More specifically meaning the 'non branded' SGH i257M and a functional LTE band 17. TIA

If you get an unlocked SGH-I257M from Canada it will work for AT&T with LTE. I got one as an early Christmas gift for my girlfriend and it works no problem. I just put her 4G microSIM from her old phone (Pantech Burst) and set it up. The only thing I had to do was add the APN for AT&T 4G. Also, I believe it was the ChatON app that would not work in the US but it wasn't important.
EDIT: Also, a question I was thinking of as well is, if when the AT&T version comes out (or the firmware at least) could the AT&T I257 firmware be flashed on an I257M? That would minimize any issues from the phone's software..

I appreciate the reply. That is good to know. Yeah, ChatON is of no interest. As for flashing, There are multiple reports that the 9195 ROM flashes OK on the M's, 9195 also adds the FM radio that is not given functionality in the M's but restored with the 9195 OS so I would assume the AT&T version should be no problem provided AT&T isn't pulling another non standard hardware version as they have in the past with some phones. (FCC filings don't indicate that) AT&T seems to have developed a phobia in recent years about their phones being retrofitted with new OS's. Also likely they are waiting for 4.3 or a Knox implementation in the deluded belief that it is secure. Thanks again for the heads up on function, looks like the price from Canada isn't too bad right now.

Hi. Thank you for sharing this. I actually just bought a Canadian i257M as well and now I'm waiting for it to get shipped to me. Question; do the samsung media apps work while in the US? For example, media hub, video hub and music hub? I ask because i used to own a GS4 from att and I purchased a lot of media on those apps and would like to continue using them if possible on the GS4 mini if possible.
Much appreciated!

You may have some disappointment, Samsung has switched to 'Samsung Hub' on the new phones, replacing the older Media hubs and interoperability suffers a lot. T-Mobile offers a Media Hub for their new phones, AT&T may as well since the Sammy app's leave so much behind. It's going to be a wait and see I suspect. With luck AT&T will have Media Hub apps instead of the newer Samsung replacements and all you will have to do is wait. It seems quite a few people have money tied up in the old system and that may keep it alive.
But other than that, all you need to get on line is write your carrier APN. The phone is turn-key as it is. I just got an 'M' and after gutting the OS, dropping in an APN and editing the Build Prop a little (not needed) it works great on US AT&T.
There are more and more of the i257M's turning up recently in the States and hopefully someone will be able to clarify the Media Hub issue more for you better than this.
Where are you guys getting unlocked 257Ms? I can't find anything on ebay and the internet suggests canadagsm may not be reputable.
Hi...wondering if you can help given you are on AT&T 4G LTE. My i257M arrived today from canadagsm and it appears rooted. Surprise, but maybe good. BTW...canadagsm handled this order ok, not great and not responsive, but they did deliver. Anyway so far so good, but I am also on AT&T 4G LTE and wondering how to edit the APN? Why? Right now I am only getting H+ connectivity. So wondering if there is a way to do this voa the hardware or only via software? Also, can you post the Build Prop? Lastly, due to rooted phones being disallowed on my company network I can only use a stock ROM.
Lastly, as I write this I ended up going into the boot ROM and which is not CWM and for the last 30 minutes and selecting install the volume up, the screen shows DOWNLOADING, DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!! However, I am not aware I am downloading anything and seeing this screen is a bit scary. I may mess with this a little more by the time anyone gets a chance to respond, so we will see.
Thanks in advance, malloy0

I just made a thread abouu this. Just picked up a i257m and on every kind of combination of rom I'm stuck at only h+. I spent a few hours on the phone with cs to figure out why after googling a few other cases similar to ours. Turns out att doesn't support unlocked phones so the account isn't setup to push lte. What others have done, and what I'm going to try to do tomorrow is pop the sim into an att phone thss can do LTE and set it up and switch back and it should follow.
Att were assholes and wouldn't setup a device on my sim temporarily to prove to me LTE worked on my account. We popped my dim into a display g2 that was getting LTE, and got only h+. So I told him to pop the display sim in mine to see if I can get LTE, it only triggered the LTE option in the settings but never popped up saying it was getting any.. Hmm
Edit: got lte working with a new sim! All works perfect on att!

Just wanted to throw in an update, I took the risk and ordered a 257M from CanadaGSM. Minor hiccup with the webpage didn't forward my address to their credit card processor, but they sent me an e-mail and a paypal invoice, and shipped out the phone the same day I paid. Quick customer service response time via e-mail, too (as in within a few minutes). It works great on Straight Talk, but I don't live in an LTE area so I can't test that till this weekend.
It rooted easily, and now it's running PAC.
Edited to add some information.

Good news for CanadaGSM...I too was leery, but after a few emails and phone calls they stepped it up big time. For now I have retired the S5 mini in favor of a Nokia Lumia 520 for $65!! Woo-eeee!! It's a super smooth phone. Apps are a little limited, but still have found everything I need except "stay awake" with charging. as for the S4 mini on LTE? No luck at all and expect one of two things...1) it's a locked Rogers phone and I am on AT&T, thus they will not allow LTE or the phone is not truly LTE capable.

Use the 9195 root method and 9195 roms, same phone just different lte bands.
What I did was use Odin to flash recovery then flashed the root kit then used the unlock app from the play store to be able to run att. Then I flashed my liquidsmooth and havent looked back!
I used Odin to flash philz touch recovery, then flashed the PAC nightly. Only issues so far are ROM related, like launcher preference and battery drain

Okay this is kind of weird because I know T-Mobile has not rolled out the update. In fact I believe they are completely refusing to do it to force people to resort to upgrading phones. But I got this system update on my phone this morning and I am wondering if anybody has gotten it as well or has any explanation. I haven't downloaded it yet.
T-Mobile SGH-M919. Weird because it says the GPE
it has been said before if you would have searched, but it is a patch for the stagefright vulnerability and that is about it.

Which rom where you using when you get this message?
GPE has already been updated to 5.1, so even if that is LP it's still older than current.
I have been calling TMOBILE (US) every week since May to find out where the LOLLIPOP UPGRADE is for my SGH-M919 ((Galaxy S4) and finally about 3 weeks ago I got them to confess that SAMSUNG HAD GIVEN THEM TO UPDATE FOR THIS PHONE - BUT, THEY WERE NOT GOING TO RELEASE IT.
When I asked why, I was given the B***S*** answer that there were known bugs and all other providers had problems with it - I said they were corrected in the 5.01, and 5.1 versions - he then basically (without saying it) stated they want people to buy newer devices.
I told him I OWN MY DEVICE, THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT, and I WILL ROOT IT AND PUT A CUSTOM ROM ON IT.
I was told, you will void your warranty.....I rolled with laughter and said...it is over 2 years old - THERE IS NO F***ING WARRANTY anymore...and I hung up.

Yet another great example of why I jumped ship for Cricket. Tmo does all this uncarrier crap because they say they care about the consumer, but when it's all on the table they're just like Verizon or Sprint or AT&T. If you're on older hardware, then they don't care about you. You're a number that they added years ago, and all that matters are the numbers they'll add today and tomorrow.
I'm still rockin' my S4 after all this time. When I'm ready to upgrade, I'll be buying my phone unlocked and ready to go with Cricket. Now that the new Nexus devices are on their way, I'm just going to save up and splurge on the Nexus 6P and not have to worry about bull**** carriers screwing me on updates and security fixes.
I buy T-Mo phones because they traditionally have unlocked bootloaders, so I can flash whatever ROM I like. ATT, and I believe Cricket, tends to use phones where the bootloader is locked down tightly. I like the open Nexus platform and am also considering one in the future...
