I know this is probably beating a dead horse, but I was told by many at verizon cs that there would be an update to the nexus in February.. well its March and nothing came. The leak was about a month ago and nothing official.
Does anyone know the eta of the update? I'm not rooting just yet
Thanks everyone.

No one at Verizon is going to be able to tell you when it is coming out. It is up to Google to drop the source for the update and push them to the Nexus phones. That being said the VZW Update may be behind the official which is a good reason to root in itself
Nope. Not yet, although I have a theory that they are just gonna give one big ass update in June at Google I/O and its going to be 4.1

There's no need to wait for the official - root your phone, and install foxhound beta 0.1 and imoseyon lean kenrel, your phone will be rock solid, no crashes and will have incredible battery life - in a day you will hardly be able to run out of it with heavy use.

If they do that then I'll be pretty disgusted. The majority of Galaxy Nexus owners are stuck on 4.0.2, where one of the main selling points of the device - NFC - hasn't worked correctly since the phone was released four months ago.

I don't particularly like this thinking. Maybe some of you buy a Nexus to root it, but I buy a Nexus for the exact opposite. I buy a Nexus so that I never have to root or tamper with my device, and so that I will get updates directly from Google carrying the latest bugfixes. Afterall, the phone is advertised as being 'Simple. Beautiful. Beyond smart' as well as being 'pure Google'.

I'm pretty sure the Verizon version has 4.0.3, so yes, your NFC will work fine. However, the latest version for GSM is 4.0.2, where it's not possible to write to a non-formatted NFC tag.

I've been away for a bit and was wondering if the VZW CDMA 4.0.4 was ever released. I see reports that the GSM release fixed the dropped data for several people and I would like to see that come to CDMA. Unfortunately the leaked 4.0.4 still drops data for me
Nope.
No. Officially VZW is on 4.0.2 still. There were some rumors a month ago that VZW would be getting 4.0.5 in early April but nothing ever came of the rumor.
Supposedly our next update (VZW GNexus) is going to be 4.0.5 which should fix the radio issues and improve dock performance so that Samsung can finally release a dock for the VZW GNexus. When all of this will happen? Nobody knows. Probably 2015 at this rate >.>

Dear OP, I finally gave in last month and started to get refurbished devices.
And now, I have absolutely no complaints other than half pink / half green tints on the screen
But even with stock 4.0.2 no LTE drops what so ever. Even one-way microphone issue is somewhat resolved as I haven't experienced any yet..
Get a replacement device...what a world of a difference.

Have fun with nexus.. that is what I'll probably get too.
It took tmo almost a year to get 4.0.3 out the gate. Even if they were planning on 4.1, they would need at least that long to get it out, and by the time that happened, they would need to push 4.1 to SGSIII, and the SGSIV would already be out.

Don't think that statement is entirely accurate. First off, ICS was launched in Mid to Late November so it took 6-7 months to get to our SGS2.
Secondly, it wasn't TMO that took that long to get us the update. It was Samsung. And last I checked, aside from the Nexus, there weren't many phones that had official ICS before us. Especially in the U.S.
Sounds good to me...

Not me. As long as they do it, I don't really care when it happens as long as it's right. If I needed instant gratification, I have the information from this place. It took VZW forEVER to update the LTE Xoom to ICS. When they finally did, it was most excellent and opened the door for even better ROMs. My Xoom is still the best tablet out there and will probably remain as such until the Surface is released.
VZW may take forever but it's more often than not worth the wait. The only reason any other phone can even compare to the original Droid is that it was so soon surpassed in the hardware department. It got updates well into its End Of Life cycle and was the best pure Android device for years. Even the N1 while pure Android was an embarrassment in comparison. The Nexus S (the S is for "Sucks") should get updates for as long as humanly possible. Besides having all of the problems I don't like about this phone (no SD card, usual Samsung fail at cell and GPS radios) and little of the phone that sets the VZW apart as a potentially great phone. (I'd rather have this Nexus or any other VZW phone no matter how pathetic than a phone that could work on the other 3 carriers' networks combined because I still wouldn't have a signal in the areas I use it.) Our Nexus also has lots of storage. It's OK that other carriers and phones get thrown a bone every now and then. When I get better radios for this phone, the only reason I will even consider another phone would be if it offered a completely revolutionary user experience.

If were taking a real guess, i'll say March 2013.
Yeah I said around February or March as well.
Thinking positively: Verizon "has to" test the update to make sure it's up to their specifications. If they work on it quickly and start immediately perhaps mid-December.
Thinking realistically: They won't test it immediately, or testing will take longer than a month. Feburary or March as stated earlier.
Thinking negatively: Verizon already had a fire sale on the Galaxy Nexus, they want it out of stock and unsupported ASAP. Testing never begins and an OTA never occurs. Verizon twiddles its thumbs wondering why Google no longer wants to work with them.
Probably never... which is why I'm switching to T-Mobile as soon as I'm off contact (if not before, not sure how steep their cancellation fee is)

The Dev's here I believe had 4.1 on the Verizon Galaxy Nexus about 2 days after it was released.
I just saw a 4.2 AOSP ROM posted on the "other" site. There aren't any linked GApps included though, so there might be a few things missing until a new package is created.

Yes, and the OTA hit the Nexus about 8-10 weeks after some of the first "usable" firmwares started rolling out from developers, especially CM10, which devs jumped on fairly quickly.
My question...
How soon from release will AOSP become usable firmwares that devs can release to the wild?
You would think it would be fast, but I beg to differ. One compound word........ Roadrunner.

Yes please to that! I am also a Verizon GNex victim and was thinking the same thing! I'm switching to T-Mobile and getting a Nexus directly from Google from now on...when I can afford it. This Verizon behavior is too much violation for me.
March sounds like a good estimate, it's sad. I contemplated leaving them too.
Instead for now though, I just went and unlocked/rooted/flashed MMuzzy's AOSP rom and it's rock solid. No more waiting.
We will see the update, but since Verizon is sunsetting this phone, I expect it will go the way of the other "Nexus" device Verizon had...the Motorola Xoom. Once a device becomes a non-priority at VZW, basically they'll test the updates whenever they get around to it, thus the updates take longer to test and approve than they used to. Sadly this is what happened to the Xoom. The Wi-Fi version got 4.1.1/JRO03H in July and its final update to 4.1.2/JZO54K in October. The Verizon version is still on 4.0.4/IMM76L and Motorola doesn't expect Google's 4.1.2 OTA to be approved by Verizon until some time in Q1 2013.
That said, the Galaxy Nexus almost certainly sold exponentially more units than the Xoom did, so hopefully that means the Galaxy Nexus won't become quite that much of a bastard child. Time will tell.
With all that in mind, Vegas currently has the over/under on a 4.2.1 OTA at February 1. I'm taking the under. I say mid January... assuming Google can cool their jets on the update schedule. If a 4.2.2 OTA comes out before Verizon approves 4.2.1, our wait counter starts over. That's why the VZW Galaxy Nexus never got 4.1.2/JZO54K or 4.2/JOP40C. They came out too fast. 4.1.2 came out in October, followed by 4.2 in mid November, followed by 4.2.1 two weeks later.

Maybe Verizon nexus owners will see 4.2.2 first on this round. Wouldn't surprise me to much, since the testing team tends to get a lot of subtle tweaks made (we are on JRO03O and not version C like the takju/yakju variants). At worst someone should be leaking some version in the coming weeks.

More like January or Feb, I'd say or maybe never...at least for the Sprint variant. It isn't in Sprint's interest to push updates unless the other carriers do. Of course Samsung wants to get these updates moving because they want the public to feel they'll be supported if they purchase a Samsung branded device but brand loyalty isn't in Sprints interests unless the brand is Sprint and that of course is usually maintained at the end of a very thin thread as it is.
As for the possibility of receiving the 4.3 update. I'm always excited about OTA updates because updates play a fairly big role in future versions of Android. The more updates there are the more well understood it is what the public wants/needs from future versions because of the broader spectrum of users providing feedback.
For my own personal device...I don't care. I run what I want on my device anyway regardless of whatever Samsung/Sprint/Google push. I don't give a rats ass about having a "pure" Android experience or being the first to get the latest version (no offense to the Nexus fans) either. I want my device dirty and nasty with a big moustache. I don't want be like one of those creeps that hangs around the strip clubs but never pays for a lap dance...I'm in the champaign room and let me tell you there is more going on in there than the song says. Why do you think I'm hanging around here? Trick it, brick it, fix it, trick it and brick it again...that's what it all about.

a million times, this.. love the removable battery and storage but not sure if it's worth the [email protected]!%
Yea don't really care because Google separated their core services from the operating system so most of the really great feature are now pushed through Google rather than being a part of a new os version.
Android updates aren't as feature rich anymore.

To the ones complaining who are you going to then? Unless its a Google phone it will be the same across all manufacturers. At least we have a date. Samsung actually announces all devices that will be upgraded at the same time unlike others like HTC who just tells u that their it phone of the moment will be upgraded while the rest get lost in forgotten land. Samsung actually has been the best non Google manufacturer with updates to their Galaxy line..

I love how in this thread it's bunch of people complaining about how updates don't come fast enough and then when you look at the next thread in this section it's all about getting rid of the updater to stop those "pesky" notifications trying to get you to update... lol
They say December, but that's when they're submitting it to sprint. We'll actually get it Feb or Mar in 2014. Mark my words lol.

Pretty sure that you're missing the point.
The updates that we all are anxious for are system updates that ROM devs can work with, make better ROMs for us all. Definitely worth "complaining" about.
That other thread is about a fault where the phone thinks it needs a software update, but not really, or the update in question is actually not desirable for whatever reason.
Welcome to XDA.

I've been thinking long n hard about that, as an option. I do love my Note2, with the exception of the plastic, it's a badass device. But I don't actually use the pen as much as I thought I would. So taking a long look at the HTC Mega (?), and hoping that it makes it to the US... I allow myself a new phone every year, it being a hobby I indulge myself in, and I always buy outright, no ETF charges...
