Develop Bugs

Samsung told me today's yakjuxw update was by Google

@SamsungSupport: @Zeon45 Sorry about that! The update to your device was pushed by Google. Please contact them for further info. Thanks, ^jc #GalaxyNexus

And the update was what? A version change? Volume bug fix?

The volume fix, I'm still on 4.0.1 it just changed from D to F.

The point is if Samsungs twitter is correct my non yakju Nexus gets updated by Google rather than Samsung.

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.

Whats up with Google and the Nexus

You know when you buy a nice shiny new Nexus, you'd expect to be leading the way in the Android version race...
But what the hell is Google doing with the Galaxy Nexus? Handsets are still at 4.0.1 and 4.0.2... but the Nexus from last year and the Xoom officially have 4.0.3.
Whats up?

That is what the source is for

There are already other threads on this.
The Nexus S OTA isn't even pushed to everyone. It's on hold right now.
The Xoom's ICS push is only for the WiFi version and only for specific people who signed up for it.
Who says that the GN will even get an OTA 4.0.3 update? They may even wait for 4.0.4 or whatever at this point. Who knows. But theres clearly a reason why they're not releasing it. They're not finished and just holding onto it for no reason...
If you really want it that bad you can install a custom ROM based on 4.0.3, or compile it yourself from source and flash it. Or, just wait for the OTA and chill!

Xoom ICS has gone out to the general pop.

I'm on XDA multiple times a day and never seen an actual thread on this. Yea we have kangs and AOSP but who doesn't. I bought a Nexus to get Android updates as they come out... I'm running 4.0.3 and it isn't a huge deal that it isn't out officially, but why is it rolling out to everyone else BUT US?
Yea 4.0.3 may be more geared with older devices to bring them up to speed... but obviously it isn't hurting the Nexus's unofficially running the 4.0.3 AOSP roms, so why not just throw it down to us? If the Nexus is the developer phone for Google, then 4.0.3 was developed on a new Nexus. Then why don't we have it yet?
Something just seems strang IMO. Having a Nexus One and following the Nexus S, I haven't seen them update an older device BEFORE the current line. Isn't it a little weird that last years model is running a newer version then we are? Some Nexus's are running on 4.0.1. Whats that about?

Totally.My.Thoughts.
One thing I'm curious about: Why on Earth was OTA for SNS halted?! My SNS with 4.0.3 was fine, IMO

If you are going to root and put a rom on your phone why do you honestly care? There are so many threads on this already. No PHONE is being pushed 4.0.3 right now anyways.

holy hell guys the OTA for the nexus s was halted because they found some bugs during rollout, so they stopped. and they stopped galaxy nexus because of that as well. when they fix the bugs, they will continue the roll out. do you guys think google is doing this on purpose, they want to NOT give our the update to all as some master plan. or the more likely answer, they are fixing serious bugs.

It is out officially.
Build.
It.
Your.
Self.
The difference between a Nexus and every other Android phone is that you can take the LATEST publicly available source code and build a 100% fully functioning ROM with it. No matter how you slice it, you're not going to be able to build a 100% functioning Stock Android build for any other phones. They are hacked together. They are frankenbuilds. Yes other phones have 4.0.3 releases, but none of them are 100% functional. Not sure if you noticed, but for those phones you'll see a list of "what works" and "what doesnt work". For the Nexus phones, you can just build directly from Google's source and it will just work.
See: Nexus S vs Galaxy S. Although the Nexus S and the Galaxy S are identical in almost every way, the Nexus S has had ICS for months now. And you can build 4.0.3 for the Nexus S and it will Just Work.
The Galaxy S ICS releases otoh are FILLED with "known issues" - feel free to check yourself.
Just because it's not an OTA doesn't mean it's not available. You want a pure AOSP build that will be identical to an OTA that Google would push? Just build it yourself.

They updated the Nexus S 4G a few times before they ever rolled out updates to the mainline Nexus S. There's really no rhyme or reason to when they roll out OTAs. If you care so much about having the latest official build though, again, build it yourself from their source code. What else do you think they do? The OTA for 4.0.3 will/would be built from the same identical 1's and 0's, bits, and bytes, that is already available quite openly in the AOSP tree. It's been available for months.

i was on 4.0.1 standard with no OTA updates. doesnt matter because the nexus is made to be customised, and be a developer edition device.
i was happy to flash 4.0.3 and a custom kernel. if you arent, then i think that buying a nexus was not the wisest of decisions.

I think people just want a quality official update direct from Google. Not knocking anything the developers do, but they aren't official builds. I'd rather have something I know Google wants out there running on my phone. For all we know, there are issues with 4.0.3 which is why it hasn't been actually placed on the Nexus S and Galaxy Nexus. Yet, you are so eager to say put it on yourself.

I've been using Androids since the Eris came out. Seriously, 99% of the time the ROMs/kernels put out by the devs here and on other sites are more stable than the official OTAs by the companies.

And I've been using Android since the G1, minus a small timeout on WP7, and custom ROMs always came with quirks left and right, that in their entirety always managed to piss me off in some way. If they don't do stupid **** in the kernel (I especially like the enabling of Linux kernel features just because they sound nice), they mess around with the userland, trying to improve things into breaking.

Google tells you how and what to build a completely untouched version of their code. If that bugs ya, and is not official enough for ya, then you are missing the point of this device. The device is officially supported by AOSP for yakju and mysid. If the idea of a source built rom bugs you just because its not on a Google sanctioned buildbox, then thats a shame.
I understand what you are saying about customized builds, but its easy to make a completely stock Google approved experience. Download source, setup vendor, and then make. Then you can use fastboot to flash. No need for clockwork, no need for root. If there is a demand for this, I would be happy to make both maguro and toro builds. I won't even root them and they will be odexed.

Once i get some time i plan on compiling myself a fully stock ics rom. Cause i can and that is the point of this stupid thing.

android 4.0.4 source could this help?

could this source help us in any way?

Easy there champ. lets wait for 4.0.3 to be OTA'd.
And remember that just because the NS4G has 4.0.4 doesn't mean the Galaxy Nexus will ever get it (it might skip right over). If you remember, the NS4G had different OTAs and build #'s than even the GSM Nexus S. Its a different device.

true, im fairly new to the nexus line of phones, so i got a little exited, im used to waiting 6+ months for an update lol

Yay, so we're going to be two updates behind the Nexus S soon. Nice job Google!

I doubt there will be leaks for the GSM galaxy nexus. Leaks usually come from carriers, and since there is no official carriers for the GSM version, I think it's doubtful we see leaks.
The verizon version is different. As we've seen, select people with verizon connections have builds prior to official releases. They just keep them among the select few.

The GSM Galaxy Nexus is not exclusively sold in North America FYI. O2, Three and Vodafone are just three of the networks that I know of who officially offer the Galaxy Nexus here in the UK.

Read my reply above. Just because the NS4G is on 4.0.4 doesn't mean were ever going to get it on the GN. The NS and NS4G were on different builds of 2.3 also, but one was never "behind" the other. Chill out.

I don't want 4.0.3, I want 4.0.4... but I guess google has forgotten their dev phone and just slaves to verizion now for the CDMA/LTE version...
that, or only carrier employees leak updates before they are officially released. And that's why it seems we are forgotten.

um, 4.0.4 for the CDMA version isn't official. We have 1 leak and that's it. And nothing about that indicates that its any "better" than 4.0.3 for the GSM version that Google is working on. Just because its .0.1 higher, doesn't mean its better. There may never be 4.0.4 for the GSM version. You don't know.

Um, I didn't imply it was official. And there are people that say there are improvements.
- some say the Android OS bug is fixed (although that is just a cosmetic bug).
- some say they are getting better battery life (but that could just be placebo).
- some say that the crappy low volume is finally fixed in 4.0.4 (but who knows).
You don't even know if google is working on 4.0.3 for the GSM version - sure it was mentioned by some google engineers to include some fixes, but that doesn't mean they haven't moved on to the next rev already after pulling back 4.0.3 for the nexus_s for whatever bugs that were in it that they felt they needed to pull the OTA.
I think it's pretty clear they aren't releasing a 4.0.3 OTA, as it's been in AOSP for what seems like forever now. So they must be moving on from it.
edit: add to it that 4.0.4 already leaked for the nexus_s too

Sadly it seems like nothing ever leaks from google. It's always for models released for a specific carrier (verizon or sprint) that leak. Probably during the carriers testing phase before they give google the green light to release an OTA.

It IS official as it's on the Google OTA server, it's just not officially been pushed out yet. There's a difference
As for the OP, we're not getting 4.0.3 after the issues found in the Nexus S release. We'll likely get 4.0.x as and when Google feel it's ready to be released. Dev phone or not, the release still has to be stable.
If you're THAT bothered, build your own ROM from the source

It ain't official till its pushed widely to all CDMA GNex users.

We'll agree to differ in that case then. By your logic RUUs aren't official either for HTC devices but they come from HTC
Just cause they're not being pushed out doesn't make them unofficial

You should have the Yakju build in order to get the OTA's from Google.

Yakju.
Check with this app if you're lazy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.cbruegg.officialupdate

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.

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.
