Does anyone know if we can get OTA updates for Galaxy Nexus in Oz yet? Got my GN from Mobicity this week and it is running 4.01. If I go into settings and hit 'check for updates', it says my device is up to date. Would the update be coming from the Provider (optus)? If so, I guess I will have to wait until the are supplying the phones (next few days).
Any information appreciated.
I think the says one is the same as euro check if its yakuju or not.
Mine is an import so I can't say for sure

There's an app on the Android market which will tell you if you're getting updates direct from Google or waiting for it to go through Samsung. I'd post the link, but apparently I need to make a few other posts first... </rant>
Anyway, it's on the market, named 'GN Official Update Checker'.
If you don't have a Yakju build you can always flash it back to one. Location doesn't matter for Yakju builds, so long as your phone can reach the Google servers, you'll get updates.
Thanks for that. I had already downloaded and ran that App. It says I DONT get my updates from Google.
Not overly keen to unlock the bootloader and flash it at this point in time. Will wait a while and see what comes out in the coming weeks.
Cheers.
Mine actually came with an unlocked bootloader. I wasn't getting updates from Google, but I flashed back to stock 4.0.2 and everything's been fine since. I was a bit nervous about doing so, since I've never done anything like this before, but with the guides here on XDA it was a remarkably simple and easy process.

When you boot up if you have a lock under google and it is unlocked then your bootloader is unlocked

Nope, no lock under Google at boot, so I am guessing mine is locked...bugga
You do get OTA updates in Australia. Mine was bought from Clove in the UK and came with the yakju build. Got the volume bug fix a few weeks ago. You just have to be patient I guess.

Try going into settings and manually checking for an update. Sometimes it's available, your phone just hasn't found it yet.

It's easy and pretty risk-free to unlock, and just as easy to re-lock again if you're so inclined.
if you bought the nexus in aus and want direct google updates just convert your phone to the yakuju build from the google nexus factory image site http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html
just flash with fastboot, i did this on mine cause i cbf waiting for the ota;s
+1 Amen brother.
My SGN was also purchased from mobicity and I'm in WA, I received both the volume bug and 4.0.2 update on the first day it was released. It's also a yakju build. Just lucky I guess

I bought from mobicty too but i already got 4.0.2 maybe 3 or 4 days ago

Had this version.. but I converted to yakju ... didn't think updates from Samsung would be this close to Google's Release
-Google Galaxy Nexus
My phone was yakjuxw but I converted to yakju and never looked back. It is child's play to convert and you get direct and fast update support directly from Google. Go for it.

True, true. But warranty is through Vodafone where I got it from and it'll be void if I reflash it. I already sent it twice back. First time it had the motherboard replaced because of a boot loop and now it's there for unexplained battery drain, 40% overnight with everything but the phone disabled.
I just got a yakjuxw nexus yesterday, and immediately fastboot flashed to yakju, 4.0.4. First time, it boot looped, but a second attempt went just fine. I figured this was the easiest way to make sure I got updates from Google in a timely manner.
Method for quicker OTA update
I got the update OTA (UK).
I used this method to get it quicker. Took about 6 attempts, but i didn't bother rebooting.
Should work, some redditors said it took anywhere from 2-20 attempts :/

In which country did you get it?
I'm hoping to see a Danish dictionary in the update and I thought the xw was a European build, but it looks like its all over the world.

My phone is an unlocked European model, but I'm in the US on AT&T. Note that I converted my yakjuxw build to the plain Google yakju. I'm not even sure why anyone wouldn't do this (aside from being afraid of bricking your phone )-- it wasn't that difficult to do using the Gnex toolkit offered in the development section here.
The worst part for me was getting my Win7 64 bit PC to recognize my phone in fastboot mode and actually install the driver. Once I did that, I was good to go (ok, maybe except the boot loop, but I've flashed the hell out of a Viewsonic G-Tablet before, so boot looping wasn't anything I haven't seen already).

Since the new takju gsm galaxy nexus came out today, google released the factory images for it. If you flash these takju images onto a yakju phone, will it convert the phone to a takju?

Of course it works great. There's probably no benefit to it, considering that you can just get Wallet from the Play Store now.

Just to clarify: there are no yakju devices or takju devices or yakjuxw devices, etc. There are maguro devices and there are toro devices. yakju/takju/yakjuux/etc are made to run on maguro devices, so they are interchangeable. mysid is made to run on toro.

It is literally 99.99% the same (radio, everything). It just has Google Wallet preloaded. But like I said it doesn't really matter considering you can download it from the Play Store uninhibited now.

You can't use Google Wallet in Canada anymore anyway (I mean you can no longer reload the prepaid card)...
only reason i want to do it is because my dad is the one that uses the galaxy nexus. He has been having random reboot issues on it with aokp and cna so i was just gonna flash him back to a stock image. I was planning on flashing the standard yakju but i figured since takju is the USA version and we are in the USA i might as well give him takju.

I wouldn't say its any more "USA Version" than yakju is. They're nearly the exact same.
But go ahead, nothing bad is going to happen. Flash it just the same as you would yakju builds.
sorry, lots of questions
Ok, complete build/flash/rom newbie here...
I'm in USA/T-mobile on a stock GNex, yakju build, 4.0.2... been waiting patiently for the OTA as again, complete newbie to all this stuff, figured I'd wait for the OTA rather than trying all this fancy shmancy stuff.
But let's say I were to flash a 4.0.4 build; do I still get future OTA's? Or do I have to continue to manually install all future updates?
Going from 4.0.2 to 4.0.4... I know there was a minor update for antennae issues a few days ago/last week... do I need to increment or can I jump straight into the latest? Also, does it matter from 4.0.2 to the yakju or takju 4.0.4?
Basically if I decide to try this, most likely this weekend, I want to make sure I'm 100% completely up to date.
Last question, how long approx. does it take to do all this for a complete newb?

If you flash the stock images from google you will get updates. It isn't very hard but it does require you have the sdk and fastboot set up. keep in mind that flashing those images will wipe out your entire phone.

It doesn't require the SDK. Just Fastboot and ADB.
He doesn't have to wipe his phone if he just applies the updates only, not flashing the complete images (he's already on yakju).
well yeah. i just figured that in order to have fastboot he would need the sdk set up or atleast partially set up.
and oh i thought google wasn't providing update images anymore. just the full system images. i may be wrong however.

Hey guys, it seems like the GPS on my device is broken.
It just won't fix, and on apps like GPS-Test there are no sattelites visible. I tried everything from Removing and Updating AGPS-Data, Turn AGPS off, Update Radios, Return to Stock 4.0.4 but it won't work, so I guess it's broken.
As I already mentioned I installed stock 4.0.4 but got one problem:
My Nexus was a YAKJUXW-Model but currently I'm using the YAKJU Version (4.0.4, IMM76I).
Do I need to return to YAKJUXW if I want to make use of the warranty (Does anyone have expierience with this)?
If so, where can I find a download of the YAKJUXW-Firmware? I remember doing a Nandroid before switching from stock to a Custom-ROM, but I deleted this Backup ages ago.

If you want the yakjuxw images, there is a thread in the dev section (started by josteink) that has a link.
Not sure if it matters if you return it with yakju or yakjuxw.

Here is the link by the way for the yakjuxw images.
Just a little Update:
I got my phone back today, and they said they replaced the W-LAN and GPS Module. GPS is working again
They also said they did an Update and Factory Reset, however it's still on ITL41F YAKJUXW.
Thank you for helping me!
Btw: They forgot to relock the device ;D
Hello,
I haven't got jellybean OTA yet, my version when i booted it first time was chinese and the box IIRC it had google.com.hk/nexus
I'm traveling day after tomorrow and I REALLY wish to use the new navigation, maps, cards and all other nice stuff
any workaround to flash jellybean officially or so?
I did almost all clearing cache tricks and no update came yet...
Thanks
I've found https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images how to know my device is takju or yakju to download the proper image and flash my device?
and any difference between flashing or waiting for OTA other than losing every single bit on data on the device?

try this not sure if will work, but read the thread a bit.
edit: I should have read a bit " You can easily convert ANY GSM/HSPA (i.e., maguro) device to stock yakju (or takju) from any non-yakju build (yakjuxw, yakjuxs, yakjuux, yakjusc, yakjuzs, yakjudv, yakjukr, yakjujp, yakjuxe, etc.). " lol

Yakju or takju, it doesn't matter.
No difference between full images and ota (other than data loss).

You're not takju or yakju. Doesn't matter what you have now, you can flash to takju. It'll wipe everything and you'll get up-to-date OTAs from here on out.
