OTA updates - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I was sitting in my house near wifi when the last update was pushed. Do these updates only push via wifi? I don't want to be out one day and have it blow through my 4G data limit.

IIRC ota updates don't count against your data usage

You dont have to download it when the notification arrives if you worry about that.

Good to know, though I do not recalled being offered the choice going to 4.04.....

It'll download over any connection you have but you don't have to update when you get the notification.
Not sure why you're worried about your data cap from an OTA though lol. The download is tiny in comparison to your cap.

That or its a chop.
I haven't had enough otas to know if they start changing around the way information is displayed, but I doubt it. Note top right, it just shows build, not the Android version. Sorry, its in my nature to automatically doubt ota screenshots that conveniently never update.

I'm with ya on that! I'm seeing if I can get the guy to pull the update file and post it. Anyone know how to do this??
It will be under /cache. I've never had a Nexus before now to know what it will be named, but it will be ~29mb.
adb pull /cache/filename.whatever.
Should save to his/her computer.
The anticipation is killing me!!
Edit: Nevermind

There are more pics floating around showing this too. New radios and 4.0.4. No clue if real or not of course.

Pics and no leaks...
Makes one suspicious.
"i use andexplorer
i checked the cache folder and it was empty (screenshots attached). i ensured that hidden files are to be shown.
SD doesn't have a cache folder"
This is where we are at right now....
Tell him/her to use adb shell.
You cannot view cache from an explorer, unless its a root explorer.
adb shell ls /cache
SD card? Last I checked, Galaxy Nexus doesn't have an SD card.

4.0.3 was a Nexus S release, not entirely meant for Galaxy Nexus.

Thats a mixed bag right there. Suxor works for Samsung.

Nexus S getting ICS 4.0.4.

What about us??
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I have a feeling we won't the next update till mid march. I tried the 4.0.4 from on my last nexus that Verizon sent me. i didn't experience any bugs n I feel its ready for prime time. But when it comes to big v, I don't get my hopes up.
Isn't it up to Google and/or Samsung and not Verizon for this particular phone?

The OTA is possibly pushing for the NS4G.
Chill the f*** out. Just because one phone gets an update doesn't mean others will the same day. Geez.

No. It's updated by Google but VZW has to approve it first.
OP we already have 4.0.4, why wait for OTA?

At some point Verizon is involved in the LTE version's OTAs. They have to add and test their closed-source CDMA and LTE network interfaces.

Update?

It seems like all the other major GS3 carriers have gotten updates which alter the google search function, but they all also got new radio/modem updates.
I wouldnt mind a radio update. Any thoughts/ideas when and if tmobile will get a similar update?
Hopefully when the really important updates come along like jb we're not last in line as well.

So I think its pretty obvious we will get an update to strip the search funcationality, but i wonder why the other carriers did it so fast (considering the issues with apple now) and Tmobile gets away with being allowed to wait
I'm not complaining I like everything the way it is right now. I like the search bar and am not hoping for an update to remove it. The brightness thing doesn't bother me that much as I keep it at almost max most of the time.
Some updates I do want to see though are of course Jellybean, and maybe if it's possible an update to improve 4G and WiFi connections.

Well I just got another gs3 the 32gb and gave the 16gb to my wife, the one I got 7/6/12 from the t-mobile store. And to me with the updated sticker on the box I've noticed that the battery life and data speeds has improved can you guys confirm from the pic that is the update build # or is this the old build number and I still need to wait to get the new one.

anyone else have a phone with this updated software? And if this really exist, what is preventing Tmobile from pushing it out the rest of us?

Sir yes sir.
And will the same thing happen when the official jellly bean comes out for the s three?

4G drops every 5 minutes !!

OK so I traded in 3 nexus allready and cannot get a nexus that doesn't drop data ! I allready flashed different radios still nothing . I heard this is common with the nexus and that Verizon nexuses drops and there trying to fix it is that true ? And if not how can I fix this problem ! Its really starting to irritate me .

You need to request a new phone, not a replacement. Luckily mine was fixed after the first replacement, but I believe there is a policy that after 3 phones, they give you either an equivalent phone, or a brand new one, factory sealed. It's 100% hardware related, so unfortunately no software will fix it.

Force 4g to stay on, you can do so by entering this in your phone dialer *#*#4636#*#*
Go into phone information, scroll down, and select the network speed you want.

Have you tried a new sim card? My Nexus was perfect until last week, I was dropping data constantly. I called Verizon and after speaking to a couple of techs they offered to send me a new sim. I didn't expect it to work but since activating the new sim not a single drop.

That happened to me. I called asurion. And this is my fourth and I hope last replacement.

which 4g?
LTE or Wimax?
If wimax, a simple adjustment to NAPID extensions or a reset of the dsa value may do ths trick.

Do you think android 4.2 will be available as off 11/13

My theory is it will be available once they upload it to AOSP.
I don't know when the source will drop but a lot of little parts have already been pushed to source in expectation. The kernel is there as well I think... I'd expect source to drop late tomorrow.
Can't wait to flash the stock image.
Hoping to see it this month.
It will be out when it's out. Making dozens of treads won't make it appear any faster and just clutters the forums.

An update that was a bugfix only, no software version.
In that regard, Verizon's version had an OTA the first day of launch.
:Launching with JB doesn't count as an update, LOL.
Yet, they both have been slow since. Nice try though.
Can't wait for the 4.2 update.
I think first the source codes will be uploaded to AOSP, and then the factory image will be pushed to google's website, and at the same time, the OTA will begin.
