When I contacted Samsung that when will the release 4.0.4 for Saudi arabian (yakjujp) GNex... they said " Please be advsied that although it is Samsung who made it, the Galaxy Nexus is a Google phone and thus its updates are not from Samsung but must come from Google itself."

Not to sound like a **** or anything, but the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit would easily allow you to unlock the bootloader and flash Google's stock factory image for 4.0.4. Much easier than waiting for it OTA...

Couldn't agree more on switching-to-yakju part. I don't like tookits.
A few fastboot commands and you're up running the latest yakju.
That...is kind of correct though....

Samsung are the ones to handle their own specific versions of ICS for the Galaxy Nexus.
Google manages in no way the various yakjuXX (where XX defines a region number) releases.

Why would you believe a tech rep to have any clue about this? Of course they are going to give out wrong info.
Its like the people who actually believe what a Verizon sales person says. They just work it as a job making $11 an hour in high school. How would they know anything or care.

Seeing as it says i9250 right in it, and you are asking about i515, i'm gonna assume (i know i shouldn't, but will anyways) no. And is that supposed to be a link, or just a tar file you found somewhere that you decided to share the name of?
uh hate to point out the obvious but it also has i515 in the filename as well. so who knows which its for. the better question, where was this file found ?

I recently made the switch to the Galaxy Nexus from the Galaxy S II T989 and I have to say I'm loving the change.
Would anyone else agree? Or did I downgrade?

This phone is always compared to the S2. There's plenty of threads for that. I personally think its an upgrade, but most people on THE NEXUS FORUM will probably think so.

Going to a Nexus from any phone is an upgrade imo

Hi, I want to buy a new phone and I'm choosing between the Galaxy Nexus and S III. Which one do you recommend? I like how the Nexus looks, and getting updates first. I like the specs in the S III but I'm not a big fan of how it looks and I definitely don't like the TouchWiz UI. Where I live there is not much difference in price. What would you recommend? Thanks in advance!
What carrier?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
S3 then sell it and buy a nexus and profit (if you are going on contract) i actually had achance to test the s3 and on 4.0.4 it seemed pretty descent ... you could go with the s3 for sure either phone will get huge amount of support and i guess s3 is more future proof on specs so up to you
If on Verizon get the Gnex. If on any other carrier the S3.

Well only one has the new Jelly Bean.....
That was my reasoning. By the time the s3 gets jelly bean Google will have a new nexus device out with an update. If I was Verizon I would not be happy with googles timing of jellybeans release. Especially with them collaborating on the nexus

Get sgs3 since it is better hardware than nexus. You can change the software but not hardware.
Flash CM10 on sgs3 and you should be good.
I have a galaxy nexus because I bought the unlocked gsm for $350 which is a good deal and use it as a secondary phone

absolutely nothing is stable like stock, especially on phones which don't come with aosp natively ( i.e everything except nexus).

And was patched in August, sadly because of carriers having to approve of updates, many have not seen the fix yet.
Try that link with your android browser and see if your dialer exposes your imei number, if it does nothing then we're ok
Anyway, I think its only for samsung devices running touchwhizzed

This is absolutely WRONG!
I've tested this bug today on 4 devices without TouchWiz, including a Galaxy Nexus with 4.0.4, and it WORKS!
The only safe device I saw was my Galaxy Nexus with 4.1.1 stock rom. All the rest were vulnerable! Be careful!
This is definitely going to have to be addressed, I'm surprised no one has caught it sooner

Then you should submit your results to Samsung. All of my phones bring up the dialer. That's not the issue. Only my SGS Vibrant on Android 4.0.3 brings up my IMEI as well from the stock browser. That's the issue.
Chrome is unaffected.
Just did it to my ns and gnex and I'm good

Just figured I'd share my addiction story amongst my fellow Android kin who would understand. I'm addicted to the Nexus line. I literally own everything ever made that says Nexus on it (other than the Q, but they pulled that pretty quickly).
I always think I'm going to sell a device and move on to the next one, but for some reason I keep hoarding them and never getting rid of them.. I have no idea why. Attached are some pictures.
And yes, I have 2 GNexii, one is for every day stable use and the other one is for discovering new features before they're ready for prime time
Today I bought a Nexus 4, but somehow convinced myself that I don't need Nexus 10 since I'm so happy with my Nexus 7. Whew, dodged that bullet!
I realize this is off-topic and not exactly productive in any way, but I figured who else would understand if not this bunch.
EDIT: I'm sure you all already know this, but just in case: Clockwise from top left - Nexus One, Nexus 7, Nexus S, Galaxy Nexus, Galaxy Nexus. All carrier unlocked.
