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 >.>

I agree, I am running BAMF and love it. The rom isn't the problem though, the radio is. No matter what combination of ROM/Radio I constantly get data drops if I leave LTE enabled. If I just run on 3G everything is fine.

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.
and do check out the thread I wrote here.

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.

"Should" doesn't mean it "would".
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.
I know the hardware is better than Gnex but I like stock ics plus the promise of jb soon but the no sd card is a boner killer
What shall I do... I only want to upgrade for lte I'm in the gs2 a great phone but wimax will die soon. I have wimax here but no good in classroom nor work office at home its fine but I'm hardly home.....
Wimax die in 2015
And upgrading to the gnex now would will be pointless when a new nexus phone is coming out this year. "The Gs3 is a great phone" often said by it's users. It come down to what you want its your money.
Long way off indeed but lte will be here way before that

Nexus = Quicker updates
S III = Better hardware
So it's really your choice, but the S III is suppose to get the Jellybean update. Maybe not as soon, but I don't think it'll be too far after.
If you are able to wait until the next Nexus device is available, then it'd be a good idea to hold off upgrading.

For a 'flagship' phone. They sure left out some stuff and gave it some bad hardware like the GPS, no NFC chip, terrible ICS update. I'm curious to see if they short hand us on the jb update too.

I had mentioned several weeks ago that on a good tip/hunch we might start seeing JB leaks or at the very least RDF pages with 4.1.1 starting this week. I have not heard anything else from my source on the matter so it's either slow going or they are not ready to hand it off to Sprint just yet.

I'm not too worried about it, there's also the possibility of another rumor - there will be no JB leaks as it will be more tightly controlled than previous builds. Having said that, I think our man will be dropping official-like jelly beans before anyone else :highfive:.

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!
