[Q] HTC newer version than G Nexus?

Is it true?
HTC Sensation and Sensation XE are being updated today to Android 4.0.3
And my G Nexus is 4.0.2
I thought Nexus would be first with updates?

> # doesn't mean greatness.

enjoy what you have..don't act like a kid
the day that the sensation will not receive android Jelly Bean and Key Lime Pie, the sensation's users will cry more than you

Maybe not for you, bur for me it does!
I bought my Nexus because everywhere I read about it was said that Nexus-phones get updates first from Vanilla Android.
And now HTC even ported their Sense over it?
Im starting to regret that I bought my Nexus. My SE Arc maybe wasnt that fast, but was more thinner and took much better pictures!

I dont mean to act like a kid.
Just dissapointed of all bull*¤&% about Nexus.

No, I want 4.0.4 (not found ;-) with better radio as told here.
But dont want to risk getting bricked, so Im waiting for Stock update.

Several tablets, like the Transformer Prime, have been on 4.0.3 for weeks. You were guaranteed timely updates for the useful life of your phone, which is about 18 months. Not first.

Good play on version #
As more phone makers start to roll out ICS you'll see more and more version #'s, not necessarily equating to any tangible improvements.

This is a silly thread with a silly concern. Go root your phone.

Then sell your Nexus and go back. Nobody is making you keep it. you can root your phone and put 4.0.3 or even a 4.0.4 rom on it. If you dont want to root you phone you can unlock it, temporarily boot CWM and flash the stock 4.0.4 OTA.

well, you are acting like a kid. grow up.
I'm sorry you don't like your Nexus, but no one is forcing you to use it. Feel free to sell it and buy any HTC phone if you'd like. Truth is that the Nexus will still be the first to be updated to vanilla Android, because no other phone in existence will have it. You go buy the HTC phone it will have 4.0.3 and that's amazing! But it has Sense, and when it comes to the next update, you'll be *****ing again that its not coming and you'll want your Nexus back.
The fact that you'd consider leaving the Nexus on 4.0.2 for an HTC phone on 4.0.3 because its x.x.1 higher leads me to believe that you don't understand how great having a Nexus is.

I dont understand this impatience. The nexus will get the 4.0.4 update, likely very soon. Google is just finishing everything. They are not sitting around doing nothing. And they are not purposely holding back. They WANT us to have the update. Its just taking time.

Most of the big babies of the forum crying foul are from the now generation. They do not understand things like patience, or something 'taking time.'

As far as complaining you don't have 4.0.3, what improvements in .3 are you waiting for over .2 exactly?

Speaking of the "now generation" when are we getting a new BAMF? Jk man.

LOL.
Last I heard was next week, which will (hopefully) mark the first launch of the Maguro version.

Fine, Ill go rooting then.
But you guys really help me out if I dont succeed!
AFAIK theres a better radio (which is really useless today) in 4.0.4 or 4.0.3

If you really dont want your nexus i'll take it... Mine is in the shop getting wifi fixed. Had to RMA and i'm really missing it. I'm stuck using this brick of a Dell Streak, not having my nexus is really bad. But on the bright side I still have my Gtab running 4.0.3!

[Q] Yakjuux - Have you received 4.0.2 yet?

Have you received 4.0.2 on a yakjuux (or non-yakju, non-Verizon) Galaxy Nexus?

Nope, I just manually flashed it to yakju to now I should get all OTA updates..

Or... sell the phone. Because the S2 will get updates sooooo much faster.

Calm down, kid. Seriously. I'm on 4.0.1 as well and don't even care, I'm quite happy with my phone as it is, it's been incredibly reliable for me so far.
Also LOL at selling it for a Galaxy S2, as if that'll see updates any faster.

Still waiting
I don't know why anyone would expect the S2 to get updates faster (particularly because there are so many S2 variants and the S3 is rumored to be released soon).

Yesterday when I woke up I was on yakjuux 4.0.1. Today I am on yakju and a custom rom with 4.0.4
dooo it

Yakjuxw and got it right out of the box (bought it a couple of weeks ago from new egg) and I haven't bothered flashing to the Google fw yet.

Obviously some folks HAVE received it, as that is where the link to the yakjuux 4.0.2 OTA update (found here) came from.

I'm guessing I have the yakjuux version... I opened my nexus on Thursday and I updated via OTA that same day... 4.0.2

Still waiting, has anyone received it on yakjuux recently?

Also waiting for an update...
I got my galaxy nexus when it was released in Canada and since then have been waiting for the updates. This will not happen with this variant of the OS. I called Bell who told me to call Samsung who told me that I just needed to be patient and wait for Google to update my OS. I then did more research online and discovered that this yakjuux version is not updated by Google at all. Never will be.
My question is, who does that yakjuux version come from? Is there any accountability for them to update it? My phone is not currently rooted, or flashed in anyway, although I am considering it even more after reading the forms here.
Thanks

It is not clear who updates the non-yakju builds. All the updates are pushed from Google's servers though. What I'm guessing likely happens is that Google updates the yakju builds, then Samsung makes some localization changes (for specific regions) to the yakju build, gives the modified builds back to Google, who pushes them out.

I sense your frustration, but if you're implying that yakjuux won't ever get an update I think there is an extremely low risk of that happening. The yakjuux update went a big wonky last month Google/Samsung stopped pushing it out. It was probably so close to the completion point of 4.0.4 that they just figured on skipping it. Yakju is the template used to make the customized builds, so it stands to reason that that build would have to be finished for 4.0.4 yakjuux could be released.
That's probably not helpful if you've been eagerly awaiting 4.0.2 and now have to watch people that had it months ago get bumped up even further, but that in no way signals that Canadian users have been abandoned on 4.0.1. If you really can't wait there's lots of detailed guides here that will get you up to date in no time.

Just a quick question for those of you that are still on yakjuux: what is keeping you there?
There is no difference whatsoever from a user experience perspective. I'm speaking from personal experience, as I bought my device from Virgin Mobile, and left it on yakjuux for quite some time. Then I decided to flash yakju. Lo and behold, there was absolutely no difference. No difference in performance, no difference in features, no difference in reception, no difference whatsoever.
So, I'm just curious as to why those of you still there have not switched, given that the only difference that I have seen so far in the almost 5 months I've owned this device, is that yakju gets updates much sooner than the non-yakju builds. It's not like it's a complicated process. In fact it's extremely easy.

Sorry deleted.

1. 4.0.1 works great. Best phone I ever had.
2. Most importantly, time. I'm working 10 hours a day, 7 days a week right now. If this isn't sorted out by the time tax season is over then I'm headed straight over to one of those great guides you've contributed to.
3. My own stubbornness. The Nexus is the one Android phone you should never need to root or unlock the bootloader of to stay up to date. I honestly had faith Google/Samsung wouldn't take so long to change a radio. Such is the fate of yakju's forgotten siblings.

Sure, yakjuux 4.0.1 works great. You are missing USB host support and the ability to use Google Wallet, but if you don't need those, then there is really no point in upgrading anyway, as I doubt you will notice a difference. Let's not forget that we are talking about a 0.03 incremental upgrade.

On the contrary, the advantage (and a main selling point for me) of a Nexus device is its unlockable bootloader. Which devices, other than the Android showcase devices (i.e., Nexus One, Nexus S, Motorola Xoom, Galaxy Nexus) do you see that come with unlockable bootloaders out of the box? None (although Sony-Ericsson and HTC are providing on-line unlocking for some of their devices now). The beauty of a Nexus device is that it is almost un-brickable, factory images and source are readily available -- all of this allows you to try whatever you want, and always be able to return back to the way it was when you bought it without issue.
Not to mention that Nexus devices are guaranteed to receive at least one major upgrade to the next version of Android (from when it was release), e.g., N1 launched on eclair got upgraded to froyo and then GB, NS launched on GB and got upgraded to ICS, Xoom launched on HC and got upgraded to ICS, and finally the GN launched on ICS, and will get updated to JB.

New Galaxy Nexus

So I ordered a galaxy nexus the first day of I/O after the price drop and the announcement they would ship with Jellybean. I got mine an hour ago and surprise it has 4.0.4. with no update available. WTF. So I try multiple times to call google support and it hangs up on me every time. Just thought I would let you guys know, it may not actually come with JB. I'm pissed off right now.

From what I've seen and read, they announced it to be the first phone to have jellybean. I didn't see any indication that it would ship with 4.1 Only the freebie phones were expected to have JB preinstalled
Just flash the new build or wait a few days for the OTA to come in.

They never said it would ship with JB. The Nexus 7 ships with JB and the participants to the conference received units that would update to a "preview" build of JB. Again, they never said the Galaxy Nexus was going to ship with JB at this time. They also clearly stated that they would be updated OTA in mid-July.

its not supposed to come with Jellybean officially until mid july. where did Google say it will be shipped with JB?

Maybe I dreamed I heard that but they sure do make it look like it does if you look at the product page.

Its a developer version and not the final product. I would advise doing that unless you want to hold his hand on maintaining his device when it comes to flashing.
I rather keep another person's phone stock.

Thanks but we're both experienced with the end-to-end process and have done it many times. I was just saying that as a "surprise" for him I would have it done already since I know that's the first thing he would do anyway.
But yes... in general I would agree. I wouldn't do this for a regular user who doesn't care about unlock/root/etc.

WOW.

I was going to get the S3 for my wife, but considering the lower price of GN (by $200) and minor differences in features and functions that would not mean much to my wife, I have decided to get this phone instead. The prospect of putting the new Jelly Bean OS really did tip the balance for my decision, though. I like that buttery smooth operation of Jelly Bean. I'll probably put the custom ROM on hers before giving it to her. I don't think providing customer service for her would be a problem for me~

My advice, patiance. Let's just hope they keep providing the URL's. So we can download and manually flash the rom.

I love that we are getting JB now just after a couple months the rest of the world started getting ICS.

In 2-3 weeks there will be released versions of JB. It seems like a pretty short wait for the official version. If you are running stock, I don't think it is worth putting the hacked version on your phone unless you know what you are doing.

If its anything like the moment or epic, it will be when the phone is at its end of life and no longer sold in the stores. Oh, and it will probably be the last official youll see.

I don't expect to see a jelly bean update for this phone. I would genuinely be surprised if it sees official jb.
Although they said the sgsII that doesn't mean the epic 4g touch variant. More stuff to support and more stuff to go wrong that becomes sprints problem. Also, people would see how capable this exynos really is and not go get an sgs3, with the only differences being the screen and a 4g chip you're never gonna use anyway, because sprint wants the world to buy iphones. I'm getting off this sinking ship and switching to verizon asap.

The epic branding has been retired, its now the sph-d710 galaxy s2, Samsung has promised support for a minimum of 18months after release on all devices starting with the gs2 series so we will more than likely get official JB, and it won't take as long as ICS since the upgrade from ICS to JB isn't as intensive as from GB to ICS was. Samsung has sworn off carrier branded devices and starting with the sgs3 all devices will be nearly identical except for the few differences for network compatibility. Mostly radios and modems, otherwise hardware and software will now be as close to exactly the same as the original international variant and all devices will be available on all carriers as close to the same release date as possible.

I'm trying to decide between the note 2 and the new nexus for my personal line, whichever I don't get for it ill be adding on my work line, ill prob be getting the sgs3 on my personal line and putting the et4g on my work line when the note 2 launches until my upgrade comes up in the beginning of Dec. My dads got the sgs3 and will be preordering the note 2 so ill get the sgs3 once his note comes in. That's one good thing about having a technophile for a dad he buys a new phone off contract everytime it drops and gives me his old one so i don't have to use up upgrades too often unless I want a nexus or something he hasn't bought yet. He's been sticking with Samsung since the et4g launched, which I'm fine with I got sick of dealing with HTC and their locked up bootloaders after the GB update on the og evo and after the moto photon I won't ever buy another moto device that thing sucked to try and mod, I can't go with a device that you have to sacrifice something to be able to flash

They won't do a pure Android release of Jelly Bean I don't think because it would be too much of a change for regular people, even though most of us would love it. We will probably be able to get it through sprint id though. I wish they would change the colors in tw to stock Android blue though, so much better then green and white.

Cause Samsung didn't make one. Actually, 4.1.2 is more than likely all we'll officially get. I think they're done upgrading S2's....aside from perhaps the international version I read somewhere.
Battery problems? No matter the rom or android version.... >>>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2461864

Mainly because Samsung lost the suit against apple, so they've gone back to the drawing board in many ways. To continue investing in devices that led to them being sued would just not be financially intelligent.

I really hate tw. I'd agree with others. I don't think Samsung it's going to be updating our phones anymore.

There will be no more updates for the Galaxy S2, I saw this confirmed not long ago, but I forget where.

You guys will have to excuse my stupidity, I just don't fully understand how the galaxy s3 has a factory touchwz 4.2.2 rom and the galaxy s2 doesn't. the specs aren't even drastically different. one has 2gb of ram and a higher resolution screen. both are 1.5ghz ...

If Samsung were to continue to update thier older phones no one would buy the new ones. It's all about money.

But with that logic, the s3 is OLDER than the s4, and yet it was updated AFTER the s4 was released....
the galaxy s2-plus (almost as old as the galaxy s2 itself) also has a 4.2.2 update as well. So, tell me more about this $$$ theory of yours :cyclops:

Guys....its simple. Had Samsung not made 100 different S2 variations for some dumb reason, they would have updated us I'm sure. But as there's so many different models out there and the device is 2 generations behind.....they drew the update line in the sand. That's it.
Except the newer one I guess, and I heard the international one....yet to be seen.
That's electronic life. Very short support life span. At least with phones. Maybe if the phone builders didn't put out a new model every 8 months things would be different. But they just love milking the techy's that gotta always have the latest and greatest.
Plus....I agree with the $$$$$ reason too.

the s2-plus came out after the s3(jan 2013), which was a really surprising move for samsung(but in my opinion it was just another way for them to rake in the cash). and pretty much all of the android phones will have ended up with at least 2 system updates from thier respective manufacturers. our phone actually got 3 system updates, it came with 2.3.6 went to 4.0.3 and then to 4.0.4 and now to 4.1.2, if our phone kept getting updates there would be no need to buy a new phone, so once again it all comes back down to they want to make more money. and in this world that is all that any successful company is going to do, try and get you to buy there next new product(even if it means that they have to stop updating a perfectly good device to do it). If they didn't, they wouldn't succeed as a business.
In short our phone is not going to get an official 4.2.2 update because samsung wants you to buy a new phone so that they continue to make more $$$.

buy a new phone.. ok, buy an S3 (which is NOT NEW) BOOM 4.2.2 update. and that works out good for who? Especially if you buy one 2nd hand, does samsung make 2nd hand money? nope. I get the whole it's all about money thing, but apparently nobody gets what I'm trying to say. IF those old, non new phones have it....why not this one. It's old, not new, similar specs. Oh well, If I knew how I'd make my own TW 4.2.2 build lol

I don't think the s3 is on 4.2.2 is it?

I dunno what carrier, but I know I saw one with a 4.2.2 build, that was touchwiz. Very similar to the S4.
maybe it was unlocked/international? Google it.
My questions were somewhat answered, so pointless thread now.

Anything you saw was most likely a leak at best. No S3 model has an official update from Samsung, even the International, I checked.
