[Q] 4.0.2 vs 4.0.4 - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

so i'm getting a gnex (vzw) on wednesday and i had a look at the one in the vz store and it was running 4.0.2
it lagged....a lot (in the browser)
4.0.3 runs great on my captivate so i was wondering if 4.0.4 fixed that on the gnex.
thanks!

You have to manually load 4.0.4 yourself though.

Thanks guys!!!...pleeeease don't tell me that the gsm version already has 4.0.4...i don't want fragmentation with a nexus device...
its not an OTA yet right?

No, we don't. Technically the Verizon version isn't supposed to either. Someone got lucky and it was pushed to their phone and devs got it from him

Flashing 4.0.4 seems hard...whatever happened to just flashing a zip?!

Neither phone has any higher than 4.0.2 OTA. Anything higher is a custom ROM.

(i never keep the stock rom so...i don't care)
weird considering 4.0.3 fixes the browser lag

I'm running 4.0.4 and it's amazing. That said, NEVER trust lag you see on a demo phone in a store. They are a mess from people playing with them all day.

Thanks a lot everyone!
I cant wait for this phone!!!

Get the GNex and install ....

The wife and I have both been running this since it leaked .. she even got notification the day before I installed on her for her phone to upgrade to this 4.0.4 update. It appears it was being pushed to some maybe as a test. But in any event 4.0.4 makes this phone great. It has great battery life, it's fast as f*** and just really nice.

Im really tempted to root my Gnex just to flash AOKP or something so i can get at least 4.0.3 up and running. Im still on 4.0.2 and it makes the phone slow and sluggish at times and its really disappointing!

Do it now 4.0.4 has fixed a few problems. I can't wait until the next leak or official update

This.
I still sigh at how slow my store's demo Galaxy Tab 10.1 is. People load it up with crap and throw infinite widgets across 5 home screens each and every day.

For those that have the samsung build, did you get the 4.0.2 update?

Still haven't got mine. I have the samsung build (forgot what the code is yakjuw?)
Anyways, I really hope we get the updates everyone else is getting because I'm not going to flash to stock google build just to get updates.
I have the samsungbuild (yakjuxw) and i haven't got it yet (norway)
Well I sure hope we get it. That was one of my worries when an XDA forum member first found out there were different builds. Hope we still get updates quickly like the google ones.
I haven't gotten it yet on my yakjuux.

We will get it, but those sent from Google will get it everything from 1 day to 1-2 weeks before us i've heard.
They are planing to release 4.0.3 soon too, so we should get 4.0.2 maybe tomorrow if we are luckey.

Both. But the OTA for GSM started happening today and LTE had the 4.0.2 OTA happening yesterday.
The stock image files were released for both (4.0.2) yesterday.
Anyone yet?
Also, does anyone know if Google responded about this? We have a nexus...we should get updates fast and first like everyone else. Ridiculous.
Article posted on Android Central about the app the person developed. The "update" at the bottom of the article sheds some light.

@ajftl There's this nice little app in the market called GN Official Update Checker that tells you your build and if it's updated directly by Google.

People are raving about 4.0.3 but where is it?

I don't want to flash a custom rom but all this talk about the vast improvements in 4.0.3 are making me wonder what the hold up is in rolling it out to Galaxy Nexus owners. At least GSM owners like myself, there aren't any carrier approvals required for that.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Not really sure what the hold up is. I too want the pure stock version of 4.0.3, don't like a lot of customizations are whatnot. Hopefully it will come soon.
I have used Bugless Beast, which is pretty much AOSP with very minor changes and fixes.
I held out for about two weeks lol.
Finally caved, I flashed AOKP and Franco's Kernel. Been loving it ever since I'll never go back to stock.

My guess is 4.0.3 won't be released and google will push out 4.0.4 w the multi touch bug fixed.
There's also a browser crash bug w 4.0.3 that I hope google fixes as well.

I never experience browser crash on ics, be it on nexus s or gnex.
When they have sorted out the bugs with the battery life then I think 4.0.3 will be released.

I guess you aren't visiting the same websites as me. Easy to reproduce.
Go to androidandme mobile site or nytimes mobile site and move around and view a couple of articles. The browser will crash soon afterwards.
It has to do with the ads. If you use an ad blocker the crashes disappear.

Lucky. My stock GN browser is buggy as all get out. A crash once a day? Switched to Dolphin solved the problem.
I agree though. It's 2012. Let's go with 4.03. I won't root or change. Stock only.

If they can improve battery life by at least 25% then I'll be happy.
What other improvement are we to expect with 4.0.3 / 4.0.4?

That's not even realistic. The LTE version is going to have crappy battery life almost by default. My GSM Nexus gets great battery life.

Nothing wrong with the battery life on the LTE version, you just have to turn off LTE
But then you get not so fast speeds. Verizon 3g maxes out around 3mbps. But most don't see even that. Though I do have to say Verizon 3g handles congestion better.

Are u on 4.0.3? Only happens w that version.
I've been hesitant to root, because the rooting process gives me a panic attack and I don't want to have to re-do it after a push to 4.0.3 happens. I take it there's no assumption yet as to when a push upgrade is due to happen?
I'm hesitant mainly because I'd have to wipe and because Google Wallet is working perfectly right now and I don't want to mess with it.

I had perfectly working google wallet also on 4.0.2 stock and thought I will just wait out till Google releases official 4.0.3. But then I got tired n flashed aokp.n believe me, it's like my phone is freaking fast .if you thought that 4.0.2 is smooth seriously you gotta try 4.0.3.its mind numbing. Plus Franco's kernel.
PS-i like all the customizations of aokp...except the bootanination.n wallet works.

I know it's dumb to make a topic asking this, but Google has released Android 4.0.3 to the AOSP and Samsung's Galaxy S2 has it. I don't understand why it's taking so long for Google (who has a massive advantage) to get it to GN owners.
From what I can tell, the Nexus S isn't on ICS yet.
I'm not complaining. I'm just pointing out that there is something interesting going on.

The boards will be flooded with "zOMG the update is out!" the second it is released however and ROM images will show up shortly thereafter.

Gnex gsm is on 4.0.2 no update anouncment yet. And the nexus s has been on 4.0.3 for like 4 months or some.

Nexus S had ICS a long time ago. Yeah sure, it was halted but ICS is still ICS
Waiting for an update is the reason I unlocked and rooted my phone. I'm not interested in waiting.

[Q] Worth it to go from IMM30B to IMM76K?

Pretty self explanatory from the title. I've seen a bunch of people who have updated from 4.0.2 and welcomed the new changes - but what about us already on 4.0.4? Has anyone gone from IMM30B to IMM76K? What differences did you notice (other than just "better signal") Is it really worth having to wipe our phone for these changes?
Or would waiting to see if a full release comes out so we don't have to wipe our phones is a better option?
Thanks guys.
Just flash the radio's for know and wait for the "Official" release which shouldn't be too far off.

Ditto, I updated my radios but nothing else. I think it'd be a bigger pain to downgrade your whole phone back to 4.0.2 to allow for the proper 4.0.4 update. Easier to wait for an incremental update, or wait for 4.0.5/6

It's not for AT&T, it's for VZW
IMM76K is a 4.0.4 Verizon Wireless / LTE release for the GNex that appears official and started getting pushed out OTA to a very few regular users and a number of VzW phones (in store displays for instance) over the last two days. At least one user was good enough to copy the zip before it was installed on his/her device and started it, so many others could start trying it as well.

I was on the leaked 4.0.4 radios/BL and flashed back to the 4.0.2's. Applied the zip file on here and upgraded.
Honestly? Not a fan. Probably going to flash back to what I had. Of course, it's all relative to your hardware/location/etc...
My experience. Flash it and see what yours is.

People got it directly from Google's servers. An xda user ran alogcat on a store phone that was showing the update notice. That file name allowed the URL for the update to be discovered. At least that's what happened on xda .

Anybody think yakuux version will get OTA later?

I have yakuux and don't want to wipe it and reflash to international version, so that probably means that I won't get the God damn update until like end of the July? Hopefully Google sent the ROM to Samsung already so they can modify it for us before the date...

To be honest I don't think yakjuux will ever see any update. We're the only variant still on 4.0.1 as far as I know. Doesn't seem like Samsung gives a crap about Canada.
I agree and that's why I took the plunge and flashed yakju 4.0.4 and everything seems to be better than on yakjuux 4.0.2.

We've waited for 4.0.2 for six months OTA, much less 4.0.4. And 4.1 will hit YAKJU In July.
Maybe after Google releases the next Nexus phone will YAKJUUX get 4.0.4, and then 4.1. That's a hood reason to go YAKJU - at least the update exists.
Theres no other choice for you man, so backup what you can and wipe that thing, why wait if you dont have to
I was reluctant at first but then my balls grew and i flashed that yakju image, and now its confirmed im getting JB(i hope, better chance than you at least)
So do it(carefully)

I don't think 4.0.2 was ever fully released for yakjuux. I'm still on 4.0.1. They had that faulty version which disabled NFC and bugged the market, so it was pulled quite quickly. No word on any other updates after that.
Flash to yakju or takju IMO. Rip off the band-aid and get it over with.
I'm gonna have to grow some balls and then I'll flash to yakju. I'm sick of being on 4.0.1.
