[Q] Regarding System Updates and Installed Apps - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I haven't seen anything to suggest otherwise, but is there any reason that I maybe haven't received the 4.0.4 update yet is because I have an app that is not compatible with API 15 (4.0.3+)? Does anybody know if the updates take anything like that into consideration? I have a feeling it's not, but I'm not 100% sure.
Thanks.

That will have no impact on whether you receive the update. The only think that will influence it is your IMEI and your build fingerprint.

All the OTA cares about is that the IMEI is on their list and you have the proper radio, ROM, recovery, and everything.

What krohnjw said is correct. Just to add some additional detail:
All that matters for receiving the notification of an OTA update is your IMEI and your fingerprint (found in your build.prop in the line starting with ro.build.fingerprint).
For having the update install, it depends on what each individual update verifies. For example, the IMM76D from ICL53F update verifies a whole slew of items, including files found in /system, as well as the radio. The IMM48 update for yakjuux doesn't verify anything (aside from the device being maguro). No update to date has verified the recovery partition.
For having the update install automatically, it needs the stock recovery.

That's the actual IMEI of my device found under settings and not the fake Atrix one I gave AT&T so I could access the faster data speeds?

Well, its hard to say. We just know they aren't coming from Samsung, which is DAMN NICE.
I would assume that OTAs that involve a radio update would bounce between Verizon and Google. Which of the two pushes it out to everyone is kind of up in the air. Wouldn't it be Google since it's on their server already?

Googleclients is a mirror for nearly all android devices out there, carrier locked, and not.
Also, radios will be included in nearly all otas per Google, for both GSM and CDMA.

Safe to assume that this 4.04 is the official one that will get pushed out eventually? I would hate to flash it and have to wipe cause they end up pushing something else.

test keys are reserved for eng builds. Those are deodexed, full builds, include debugging tools, and never otas.
The key's name or type does not mean it is official.

[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

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
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 .

I927UCLH2 New ICS for the Captivate Glide

A new version of ICS is available on samfirmware.com
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=8&view=6468
Enjoy
Is it rooted ?
Been out since about last Thursday, actually.
Hi, has anyone tested this on a Rogers phone? Someone confirmed that the 'LH2 version works with rogers (in another thread) but I just wanted to double check if this is the same ROM. Also do I need to do anything else to get it working on the Rogers network besides add the APN settings (modem files, etc)?
I'm doing this update for my dad's phone primarily to fix the data usage bug in the official GB rom and it would be nice to get him updated to ICS.

It will work on a Rogers device, but do keep in mind that the official LH2 build has many of the same problems as the leak, as well as one or two extras since it apparently doesn't do a full wipe first. Two major ones present in both ICS builds are a broken keyboard backlight and broken tethering, though there are fairly easy fixes here on the forums for both. The official build has problems with the phone app crashing if you have contacts on the phone other than google contacts, I believe.
Your best bet is to back up anything he has on the phone, convert all the contacts over to google contacts if he uses anything else, and do a factory wipe before updating. If he cares about tethering or the keyboard lights, you'll need to flash clockwork mod recovery after the update, and flash those two updates as well.

Awesome! Thanks for all the info. Yeah, I was reading about those issues and I was shocked that AT&T and/or Samsung would allow such major bugs through (especially the keyboard light bug). I wonder if people are complaining about these issues on the official AT&T forums. I'm just glad the XDA community is here to help
Is it safe to assume that AT&T didn't mess with the built-in ICS data usage tool?
Is a flashable zip coming out soon ?
Sure. If I get the time to... My windows machine broke so probably ill get itsmebdon to do it...

Since no-one's outright said it: this update DOES NOT wipe /data. You will keep your apps and settings.
At least, if you're coming from UCLG9. Don't know about GB builds. Honestly, I don't think Odin is smart enough for something like that, but I'm no expert.

There are some people claiming to have got the ota but its nothing but a lie, the ota is not yet rolling out its just the factory image Google have released, happens every time an ota is close people just bullsh1t for the attention, they either flashed the 4.1.2 image or are using 4.1.2 custom rom plain an simple.

There were no changes to the calendar that would of caused that. There were very little changes in the changelog that affects GN users. The only user facing change is moving the Location settings out of AOSP (thus the new layout in settings).

If I have to flash it, eventually I will. I wanted to keep this as my stock dev device for development and would've expected that the devices given to the developers at Google IO wouldn't be receiving the updates late... assuming that this thing will get an update at sometime in the future. Very surprising since I would've thought the phones handed to devs, if any, should be first in line to receive updates, unless something has gone wrong with my update.

Sorry to hear it. I fully agree but I think Google view is that it is a dev device so you can update with the 4.1.2 firmware currently available. Send Google an email and see what they say.

Well, I called Samsung and they said it was the carrier's responsibility. Uh, what carrier? This is a GSM phone that's not from T-Mobile. Weird, I figure their staff just can't handle the question. I get the number for their "expert" support. He says to talk to Google.
I hunt the contact number for Google devices and get a nice guy who has me turn on airplane mode, then turn on wifi. Then clear data for Google app services. Check the about settings, last update check was in 1969. <sigh>, yes, I've done this, but I'll try again. No update found.
He said that it was strange. The update should've been pushed out to it by now and something was wrong, but couldn't help. The only thing left to do was to ship it to Samsung and have them flash the ROM on it.
Forget that, I gave up and I flashed the 4.1.2 factory image myself. I guess I could've saved myself some time by doing it in the first place, but I'm still curious and would like to know why I got the 4.1.1 OTA but 4.1.2 didn't work. Weird.
FYI, my IO nexus just got the update to 4.1.2 today, almost a full month after it started rolling out.
