Looks like update is coming!!
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Meh. I won't hold my breath.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Meh mines still on 4.0.1 so i'm not holding my breath for an update soon
Why is Verizon testing holding up the GN GSM 4.0.5 or the Nexus S's (which they have no version of) 4.0.5?
Seems silly.
Someone needs to post it in order for me to believe it.

That was almost funny until your sig gave you away.
Doors do exist. I just walked through one.
Hah, no. The next update I'll see on my Nexus is when I buy my next Nexus phone this autumn.
Dont care, need gsm version...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Its a rumor till its leaked or a official statement is released from either Samsung or Google..
Really? Doors Exist? maybe that will stop the draught coming into my house.....what a great invention!! learn to spell properly, idiot.
I wonder how much time it'll take to see the update on our phones for real.
Just like last time...and every other... "this update fixes all the problems!"
I just want radios that don't suck terribly.
..
guess it will come when its ready.

Can someone else with a verizon galaxy nexus phone tell me about the update that's supposed to happen today? Like what time it occurs and what exactly it will include? If you don't know the answer that's fine just wanted a heads up on the update
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
You'll know if you get it. No one knows what's in it because it hasn't come out yet lol.
But news flash, its probably not gonna happen today.
No one knows.
But I'll go ahead and take a guess. 7:04 PM
Why wouldn't it happen?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
The better question is why would it? Because a blog said it would? Call 611 and let us know when they say it will drop.
If you want 4.0.4 flash one of the two leaked versions or one of the seventeen ROMs that run on it.

The rep typically has less info available to him/her than various forum members. The fact is that no one knows what day or time it will drop, only that not everyone is going to get it at the same time.

Go to settings, about phone, system updates and check for updates. If you don't receive rinse and repeat the above steps until you do. Good luck.
Verizon Support isn't even using the Galaxy Nexus on the Verizon Network. caught them on Twitter. Look for the convo with Cafe_au_lait522. Don't bother with the OTA unless the radios are improved. Just use AOKP
Not being rude, just curious, but what made you think that people who don't work for Verizon (such as the users here) would know? Just curious about your thought process...

Try all roms and see which you like the best.
AOKP worship is getting stupid...there are other good roms out there too. Let the user decide.

I'm not being rude. No one on XDA or tipping these Android blogs really has any idea of when the update will actually come out.
Its never reasonable to take a Verizon' CS rep's word on an update, they have no idea what's going on. We've seen this same BS over every single update and people need to realize that until you hit "check now" and it starts downloading, the OTA has not pushed out yet.
Chill. Wait. Go outside. The update will come out when it's ready.
It is coming out tonight at 1159 pacific standard time so stay up and wait for it

Your local Verizon store employees know nothing of when updates are supposed to come out. In fact, most of them will tell you just about anything you want to hear to prevent you from giving up the phone and their service, including feeding you a load of bull regarding release dates of patches.
Verizon Wireless does not let their retail store employees know of any upcoming products, patches, and/or fixes.

They don't know anything more about the updates than the bowl of cereal you ate for breakfast this morning.
OK so this forum knows nothing, the verizon store knows nothing, and my bowl of cereal won't tell me either so who do I ask???

You don't ask, you sit on your hands until you are told. Again, there are umpteen versions of 4.0.4 here on this forum so flash one or wait. Think of OTAs as being agnostic: nobody knows and nobody can know if they exist, it's just not reasonable to assume one way or the other.

The key is to be patient. It'll come when it's ready, and not a moment before.

If you call retentions, more than likely they'll take care of you. If you're out of contract retentions entire job is to keep you from leaving. The way they could handle this situation is more or less set it up in the system as if you were going to cancel, but locked into another contract... more or less, as if you had cancelled, then signed up as a new customer. In fact, that might be how they'd do it.
Give them a call and try.
Here's a direct, ZERO wait time Sprint retentions hotline number: 866-881-9571

Rethink that. Sprints version of the galaxy nexus is not supported by Google. The sprint version is code named the toroplus, look it up. Good development community though
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
I'm not sure that device is any better than what we have now, in fact it might be worse.
I know ICS runs better on it. Smoother In my opinion. My wife has one. I talked to Samsung this morning and according to them Sprint is hustling Epic owners about a bug fix update. The Samsung Supervisor even said it was never recommended that Sprint push the update. She said no update is in the works for this model. The funny thing about it is Samsung says there call lines are flooded with Epic owners having issues and Sprint tells me there are not any problems and I need to take out insurance. That will be a cold day in Hell!

My theory is it will be available once they upload it to AOSP.
I don't know when the source will drop but a lot of little parts have already been pushed to source in expectation. The kernel is there as well I think... I'd expect source to drop late tomorrow.
Can't wait to flash the stock image.
Hoping to see it this month.
It will be out when it's out. Making dozens of treads won't make it appear any faster and just clutters the forums.

An update that was a bugfix only, no software version.
In that regard, Verizon's version had an OTA the first day of launch.
:Launching with JB doesn't count as an update, LOL.
Yet, they both have been slow since. Nice try though.
Can't wait for the 4.2 update.
I think first the source codes will be uploaded to AOSP, and then the factory image will be pushed to google's website, and at the same time, the OTA will begin.

Meanwhile, Verizon will finish testing the 4.1.2 bug fix update for release by the end of November, and push out 4.2 by mid-January. I am really looking forward to my contract ending and the 2013 Nexus devices rolling out.

I call _ALL_ Verizon customers who owns Galaxy Nexus to go to your Facebook/Twitters account and make a post on Verizon's official page and let them know about it!
Twitter / a1exus: @VerizonWireless Why is it ...
wont happen/matter.
verizon doesnt care and wont change their release cycle as they have to approve everything.

true, but hopefully this will speed process up a bit if a lot of people voice their opinion... i mean you can do nothing and just wait or you can say something and then go back to waiting... so I'd rather say something, and if a lot of people start talking they'd start moving too.
from my experience with verizon and the thunderbolt's ICS update...it's not worth the time to hit up the social networks.
they'll just tell you it's coming to silence you then months go by without an update.
Don't come on Xda and complain about OTA's.

Lol. I like calling customer service at lunch to ask "is it done yet" and to call back the next day to ask "how about now?" because it costs them a little money. Yes, I really have nothing better to do at lunch while eating leftovers from last night at my desk.

haha)) it's better to do it on social media, this way you get much better visibility and others sees that as well and hopefully verizon will feel somewhat ashamed and actually do something about it!
I used to have Verizon and now have sprint and struggling with school and full time job I sometimes forget to pay my bill. Verizon financial service cuts my service then makes me pay the re activation fee but with sprint I can call and tell them I can pay next week and they simply say okay.
But no 4g lte sucks but they do update the gnex rather quick.
Its a give or take with your service provider. I don't think there's that perfect provider right now.

Personally custom roms are better but its the principle that makes people go crazy for an update.
Also considering the vzw gnex have antenna issues, some people may actually need the update for the new radios

the beauty about #nexus is that ROM doesn't have any customization which in a lot cases causing instability for every day use, so I'd rather use stock ROM, but back to my HTC Thunderbolt days, I couldn't stand stock so I went w/ CM7 and I _LOVED_ it!
