Can someone else with a verizon galaxy nexus phone tell me about the update that's supposed to happen today? Like what time it occurs and what exactly it will include? If you don't know the answer that's fine just wanted a heads up on the update
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
You'll know if you get it. No one knows what's in it because it hasn't come out yet lol.
But news flash, its probably not gonna happen today.
No one knows.
But I'll go ahead and take a guess. 7:04 PM
Why wouldn't it happen?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
The better question is why would it? Because a blog said it would? Call 611 and let us know when they say it will drop.
If you want 4.0.4 flash one of the two leaked versions or one of the seventeen ROMs that run on it.

The rep typically has less info available to him/her than various forum members. The fact is that no one knows what day or time it will drop, only that not everyone is going to get it at the same time.

Go to settings, about phone, system updates and check for updates. If you don't receive rinse and repeat the above steps until you do. Good luck.
Verizon Support isn't even using the Galaxy Nexus on the Verizon Network. caught them on Twitter. Look for the convo with Cafe_au_lait522. Don't bother with the OTA unless the radios are improved. Just use AOKP
Not being rude, just curious, but what made you think that people who don't work for Verizon (such as the users here) would know? Just curious about your thought process...

I'm not being rude. No one on XDA or tipping these Android blogs really has any idea of when the update will actually come out.
Its never reasonable to take a Verizon' CS rep's word on an update, they have no idea what's going on. We've seen this same BS over every single update and people need to realize that until you hit "check now" and it starts downloading, the OTA has not pushed out yet.
Chill. Wait. Go outside. The update will come out when it's ready.
It is coming out tonight at 1159 pacific standard time so stay up and wait for it

Your local Verizon store employees know nothing of when updates are supposed to come out. In fact, most of them will tell you just about anything you want to hear to prevent you from giving up the phone and their service, including feeding you a load of bull regarding release dates of patches.
Verizon Wireless does not let their retail store employees know of any upcoming products, patches, and/or fixes.

You don't ask, you sit on your hands until you are told. Again, there are umpteen versions of 4.0.4 here on this forum so flash one or wait. Think of OTAs as being agnostic: nobody knows and nobody can know if they exist, it's just not reasonable to assume one way or the other.

You realize it's easy to tell whether a phone has been unlocked, right? Potentially, Verizon could see the flag has been set and tell you to go pound salt.
Also, the mic cutting out *COULD* be a software issue. You said it happens to like half the people, but I've never had it happen, and I know 4 people with the phone that have no trouble. That's 0/5, which is less than 1/2.

It's real simple.. I didn't post this to argue with people. If you're willing to help me out then thank you. If not, then shut the hell up.
Look at the topic "microphone cutting out mid call" I never said it's hardware or software. But I do know it's not related to my rom. I've had Verizon replace my phone already for this issue and to be quite honest I'm looking to get a different phone because I'm sick of this one screwing up.
The issue I'm having is totally irrelevant, I just need a screen shot so I don't have to go back to stock 4 days earlier than necessary.

What they're likely going to ask is Android version, baseband, build number, etc. to check if you're updated to 4.0.2 or if something got corrupted or whatnot. It's not like they're going to ask what the kernel version is.

If you call retentions, more than likely they'll take care of you. If you're out of contract retentions entire job is to keep you from leaving. The way they could handle this situation is more or less set it up in the system as if you were going to cancel, but locked into another contract... more or less, as if you had cancelled, then signed up as a new customer. In fact, that might be how they'd do it.
Give them a call and try.
Here's a direct, ZERO wait time Sprint retentions hotline number: 866-881-9571

Rethink that. Sprints version of the galaxy nexus is not supported by Google. The sprint version is code named the toroplus, look it up. Good development community though
Sent from my SPH-D710 using Tapatalk 2
I'm not sure that device is any better than what we have now, in fact it might be worse.
I know ICS runs better on it. Smoother In my opinion. My wife has one. I talked to Samsung this morning and according to them Sprint is hustling Epic owners about a bug fix update. The Samsung Supervisor even said it was never recommended that Sprint push the update. She said no update is in the works for this model. The funny thing about it is Samsung says there call lines are flooded with Epic owners having issues and Sprint tells me there are not any problems and I need to take out insurance. That will be a cold day in Hell!

Not true in this case. Google does not support Sprint's version of the Nexus since the drivers are proprietary. Sprint will have Google's build to work from, but its up to the carrier and manufacturer to do the update in this case...

I used to have Verizon and now have sprint and struggling with school and full time job I sometimes forget to pay my bill. Verizon financial service cuts my service then makes me pay the re activation fee but with sprint I can call and tell them I can pay next week and they simply say okay.
But no 4g lte sucks but they do update the gnex rather quick.
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

Not really because there is always roms that have the lates update so compared to the charge that is still stuck on 2.3 dont really have to worry about that here.

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!

I am done with Samsung...they say October. .but really mean December.
And then the US carriers have to test and bloat it...so we are looking March next year!!!!
I am buying the next Nexus and noting but Nexus from now on.

Agreed. Goodbye Samsung. It's pathetic that its going to 2014 before a phone released in October 2012 gets a software update. You've lost me as well.

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...
