4.0.3 Image?

Anyone know when the 4.0.3 image will be available for the GN? Seems weird the Nexus S have received it first.

I think this belongs in the QA forum, but to answer your question:
http://groups.google.com/group/android-building/browse_thread/thread/9a3133c2f73f2789
tl;dr: "soon"

Thanks. It's interesting they publicised 4.0.2 instead of 4.0.3. So much for the Galaxy Nexus being the first to get updates...(Not that it really matters, only a small update )

Everything is "nexus." They simply just spread the love around, that's all.

Wish they could do that for the Nexus One I envy the Nexus S. Will the non-yakju get the OTA updates from Google? Haven't been able to catch up to the yakju vs. non-yakju debate.

Non-yakju will get the update but I believe its maintained by Samsung so you'll have to wait for them to push it. It takes a couple of minutes to switch to a yakju build. Or you can flash a deodexed 4.0.3 ROM when that gets released sometime this weekend as 4.0.3 has been dropped into AOSP.
Sadly, the Nexus One wasn't able to go through this process due to hardware limitations.

Has google said anything on why there is a samsung build of ics?

I'm preaty bummed that i purchased a nexus thinking i would be getting updates and stuff as they come out, now that i know my phone has a samsung build of ics i am kind of dissapointed since samsung does not have a good track record when it comes to updates, my phone is a bell mobility phone. So has google said anything on why samsung has their own build of ics? If this has been answered already sorry i tried the search and couldn't find anything.
Thanks

If you're disappointed with your yakjuux (Bell/Virgin) version, why not install the official Google yakju version? There are a few threads about how to do that if you decide you want to.

I am a noob when it comes to this stuff, how hard would it be to do?

Download the factory image from the following link, making sure to pick a GSM build: code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html
Extract the zip file to where your fastboot is located. There are 3 files you'll need, the bootloader, the radio and the image.
Then use the following fastboot commands to apply the updates, please note the name of the file depends on which one you choose to use.
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekj10.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk1.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-yakju-itl41f.zip
And then you're on the Google build. Hope that helped.

What drugs are you on?
For its most recent models, Samsung has had an amazing trackrecord when it comes to updates.
I had my SGS1 for around 18 months. It got 6 official updates, spanning 3 major OS revisions. That's one new update every 3rd month and every major Android-update bar ICS.
Absoutely amazing.
The corresponding US carrier-phone models (Fascinate, Vibrant, Captivate, Shingeroo etc) did not get the updates because the US carriers blocked them.
Morale: Don't buy US carrier's ****ed up and locked down carrier-phones variants of good phones available in an international edition not tied to a carrier interested in locking it down. The international version is a different and better product. Always.
Plus it doesn't have carriers blocking your updates.
Besides, this Galaxy Nexus can be made into a true "Google" phone with a few lines of fastboot. I know, because I went ahead and did that.
It's not really an issue at all.
Edit: To answer your actual question (sorry!), I think so far Google is indeed guilty of not having provided an explanation for this. Seemingly though, they've done stuff like this with different build numbers in the past.
Also Samsung say they have custom builds (or at least custom so far) to allow for required regional customizations with regard to localization and things not in stock ICS yet.
We'll see how it pans out.

That's great for you guys in Europe but the OP is using Bell Mobility, which is in Canada. We received a grand total of TWO updates, 2.2 (not 2.2.x, and not counting the first failed version of 2.2) and 2.3.3. The first update was timely, but created no end of problems for users in the form of fried internal SD cards and corrupted external SD. It was several months before a new build of 2.2 was offered (still not 2.2.x). Gingerbread was offered last August, a stable but still buggy 2.3.3.
Our Galaxy S more closely resembled the "World" phone with some minor changes, designated GT-I9000M. To obtain a true "World" phone for use in Canada would cause numerous hassles, in buying the phone, warranty, and configuring the Modem to work in Canada.
Some users rooted their 9000M phones to use international builds of Android to keep up with Google's updates but again, most had a lot of frustration. Anyone who roots their phone and installs the latest build of something in effect becomes a beta tester. That's fine for some users but some of us wish to remain stock.
It's interesting how each of Samsung's corporate HQ's made different decisions on when to roll out updates, and even withold them entirely. E.g. Scandinavian countries seemed to get updates months ahead of North America, who sometimes didn't get updates at all

For those of you on 4.0.1

I know when we're getting the update. When the galaxy s2 gets it, we will get it a little after that / yes sarcasm
Just pissed that the s2 will get 4.0.2 or above probably before us. Samsung said they will update the s2 first quarter on 2012 (so march the latest?) And some of us are still on 4.0.1
I bought a nexus for a reason, so I can get faster updates, but looks like other phones might get it even before us / end of rant.

so what? mine was 4.0.1 by samsung, 30 min after i bought it, I flashed everything, now i'ts running AOKP rom 4.0.3, franco kernel, a strange new radio called SC04DOMKKD and CWM recovery.
it works perfectly and I'm glad! I used to do the same on my prev android, the G1

Don't take it so hard, you will still get the OTA first don't worry .
For the Samsung S2 is not clear that it will get anymore updates after the S3 pops out in half a year or so...
And after all this time next year, yours will be with the newest OS first

Lol okay lets just chill out for a second. Samsung promising the S2 to get ICS in the "first quarter" doesn't mean ****.
If you're that goddamn ancy you should flash to yakju and you'd be on 4.0.2 right now. Otherwise, just chill your **** and you'll get 4.0.2.
And the thing is, you'll get 4.0.3, and 4.0.4 or 4.1 etc. The S2 will get 4.0.2 and then be done. And it'll look like garbage and have TouchWiz on it just like it has now on 2.3.

And you would still have an inferior version of android. How many ICS roms do those phones have..? Oh wait, none. The update to 4.0.2 isn't that large and if you really cared so much you would spend the ten minutes it takes to learn how to flash a rom onto your phone instead of complaining about it. Also, if you want a touchwiz filled ICS, by all means get the sgsII.

Seriously, you bought a phone intended for Devs specifically because you *don't* want to root or flash (clearly showing that you did your research before purchase </sarcasm>), and now you're whining because it's not getting minor updates as fast as you want, even though, being the current Nexus, it will be updated faster than any other phone on the market?
I think you'd be happier with an iPhone, man.

I've already gotten 4.0.2

[Q] Yakjuux - Have you received 4.0.2 yet?

Have you received 4.0.2 on a yakjuux (or non-yakju, non-Verizon) Galaxy Nexus?

Nope, I just manually flashed it to yakju to now I should get all OTA updates..

Probably not what you want to hear, but it only takes about 5 minutes to flash to yakju.
Or... sell the phone. Because the S2 will get updates sooooo much faster.

Calm down, kid. Seriously. I'm on 4.0.1 as well and don't even care, I'm quite happy with my phone as it is, it's been incredibly reliable for me so far.
Also LOL at selling it for a Galaxy S2, as if that'll see updates any faster.

Still waiting
I don't know why anyone would expect the S2 to get updates faster (particularly because there are so many S2 variants and the S3 is rumored to be released soon).

Yesterday when I woke up I was on yakjuux 4.0.1. Today I am on yakju and a custom rom with 4.0.4
dooo it

Yakjuxw and got it right out of the box (bought it a couple of weeks ago from new egg) and I haven't bothered flashing to the Google fw yet.

Obviously some folks HAVE received it, as that is where the link to the yakjuux 4.0.2 OTA update (found here) came from.

I'm guessing I have the yakjuux version... I opened my nexus on Thursday and I updated via OTA that same day... 4.0.2
AT&T
-Google

Still waiting, has anyone received it on yakjuux recently?

Also waiting for an update...
I got my galaxy nexus when it was released in Canada and since then have been waiting for the updates. This will not happen with this variant of the OS. I called Bell who told me to call Samsung who told me that I just needed to be patient and wait for Google to update my OS. I then did more research online and discovered that this yakjuux version is not updated by Google at all. Never will be.
My question is, who does that yakjuux version come from? Is there any accountability for them to update it? My phone is not currently rooted, or flashed in anyway, although I am considering it even more after reading the forms here.
Thanks

It is not clear who updates the non-yakju builds. All the updates are pushed from Google's servers though. What I'm guessing likely happens is that Google updates the yakju builds, then Samsung makes some localization changes (for specific regions) to the yakju build, gives the modified builds back to Google, who pushes them out.

I sense your frustration, but if you're implying that yakjuux won't ever get an update I think there is an extremely low risk of that happening. The yakjuux update went a big wonky last month Google/Samsung stopped pushing it out. It was probably so close to the completion point of 4.0.4 that they just figured on skipping it. Yakju is the template used to make the customized builds, so it stands to reason that that build would have to be finished for 4.0.4 yakjuux could be released.
That's probably not helpful if you've been eagerly awaiting 4.0.2 and now have to watch people that had it months ago get bumped up even further, but that in no way signals that Canadian users have been abandoned on 4.0.1. If you really can't wait there's lots of detailed guides here that will get you up to date in no time.

Just a quick question for those of you that are still on yakjuux: what is keeping you there?
There is no difference whatsoever from a user experience perspective. I'm speaking from personal experience, as I bought my device from Virgin Mobile, and left it on yakjuux for quite some time. Then I decided to flash yakju. Lo and behold, there was absolutely no difference. No difference in performance, no difference in features, no difference in reception, no difference whatsoever.
So, I'm just curious as to why those of you still there have not switched, given that the only difference that I have seen so far in the almost 5 months I've owned this device, is that yakju gets updates much sooner than the non-yakju builds. It's not like it's a complicated process. In fact it's extremely easy.

Sorry deleted.

1. 4.0.1 works great. Best phone I ever had.
2. Most importantly, time. I'm working 10 hours a day, 7 days a week right now. If this isn't sorted out by the time tax season is over then I'm headed straight over to one of those great guides you've contributed to.
3. My own stubbornness. The Nexus is the one Android phone you should never need to root or unlock the bootloader of to stay up to date. I honestly had faith Google/Samsung wouldn't take so long to change a radio. Such is the fate of yakju's forgotten siblings.

Sure, yakjuux 4.0.1 works great. You are missing USB host support and the ability to use Google Wallet, but if you don't need those, then there is really no point in upgrading anyway, as I doubt you will notice a difference. Let's not forget that we are talking about a 0.03 incremental upgrade.

On the contrary, the advantage (and a main selling point for me) of a Nexus device is its unlockable bootloader. Which devices, other than the Android showcase devices (i.e., Nexus One, Nexus S, Motorola Xoom, Galaxy Nexus) do you see that come with unlockable bootloaders out of the box? None (although Sony-Ericsson and HTC are providing on-line unlocking for some of their devices now). The beauty of a Nexus device is that it is almost un-brickable, factory images and source are readily available -- all of this allows you to try whatever you want, and always be able to return back to the way it was when you bought it without issue.
Not to mention that Nexus devices are guaranteed to receive at least one major upgrade to the next version of Android (from when it was release), e.g., N1 launched on eclair got upgraded to froyo and then GB, NS launched on GB and got upgraded to ICS, Xoom launched on HC and got upgraded to ICS, and finally the GN launched on ICS, and will get updated to JB.

Why I believe "other" gsm Nexus will get jelly bean soon

Hi, I just wanted to share my thoughts on every gsm Nexus other than yakju and takju since they haven't had a great history of getting otas..
I think that it's gonna be only few days/weeks until jelly bean for other gsm versions will get jelly bean OTA, because if I could recall what Google said, they said ALL Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S and Motorola Xoom will get jelly bean update by end of this month. I believe that they mean ALL, including LTE versions of course. This wouldn't matter to a lot of people here on xda since changing to yakju or takju is piece of cake, but there are a lot of my friends who doesn't even know what root is who owns either galaxy nexus or Nexus s and for them, it's a great news
Just thought that I should share with you guys. What do you think?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app

You keep on thinkin' that.

Canadian GNs (yakjuux) are on 4.0.2 still. I've read up on the 4.0.4 update that was released was subsequently removed due to Samsung buggering it up, that was back in April. Sorry I have no faith that any models besides takju and yakju getting updates promptly as long as Google allows whomever else to be responsible for the updates other than themselves. It would certainly be nice if all variants were updated promptly but the track record previously hasn't been the case.
