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.
Does anyone know when the 4.0.3 ota for yakju will come out?

I don't want 4.0.3, I want 4.0.4... but I guess google has forgotten their dev phone and just slaves to verizion now for the CDMA/LTE version...
that, or only carrier employees leak updates before they are officially released. And that's why it seems we are forgotten.
Alas, there's always the roms to go with hehe..guess I'm just impatient

um, 4.0.4 for the CDMA version isn't official. We have 1 leak and that's it. And nothing about that indicates that its any "better" than 4.0.3 for the GSM version that Google is working on. Just because its .0.1 higher, doesn't mean its better. There may never be 4.0.4 for the GSM version. You don't know.

Um, I didn't imply it was official. And there are people that say there are improvements.
- some say the Android OS bug is fixed (although that is just a cosmetic bug).
- some say they are getting better battery life (but that could just be placebo).
- some say that the crappy low volume is finally fixed in 4.0.4 (but who knows).
You don't even know if google is working on 4.0.3 for the GSM version - sure it was mentioned by some google engineers to include some fixes, but that doesn't mean they haven't moved on to the next rev already after pulling back 4.0.3 for the nexus_s for whatever bugs that were in it that they felt they needed to pull the OTA.
I think it's pretty clear they aren't releasing a 4.0.3 OTA, as it's been in AOSP for what seems like forever now. So they must be moving on from it.
edit: add to it that 4.0.4 already leaked for the nexus_s too

Sadly it seems like nothing ever leaks from google. It's always for models released for a specific carrier (verizon or sprint) that leak. Probably during the carriers testing phase before they give google the green light to release an OTA.

It IS official as it's on the Google OTA server, it's just not officially been pushed out yet. There's a difference
As for the OP, we're not getting 4.0.3 after the issues found in the Nexus S release. We'll likely get 4.0.x as and when Google feel it's ready to be released. Dev phone or not, the release still has to be stable.
If you're THAT bothered, build your own ROM from the source

It ain't official till its pushed widely to all CDMA GNex users.
We'll agree to differ in that case then. By your logic RUUs aren't official either for HTC devices but they come from HTC
Just cause they're not being pushed out doesn't make them unofficial
Hello everyone,
I am just a bit confused on what version of Galaxy Nexus receives the direct google updates. Which version should I look for?
Thanks!

You should have the Yakju build in order to get the OTA's from Google.
Yakju.
Check with this app if you're lazy: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.cbruegg.officialupdate
Slow updates from Google
Then it seems that Google is very slow to push out newer updates since 4.0.4 exists and talk about 4.0.5 has already started.
My Galaxy Nexus is on 4.0.2 and is set to get updates direct from Google, it kinda defeats one of the main points of getting a Nexus device that being getting updates faster than non nexus devices regardless of carrier.
I'd prefer to keep my device stock for the time being, thoughts?
Would you prefer the alternative of updates that break more than they fix?
If you think people complain now, imagine how much they would if that happened.
4.0.4 exists AS A TEST.

How about that hundreds of Canadians took to the web reporting that immedately after 4.0.2 was released their market app started crashing. The fact that NFC options disappeared from settings at the same time. The crash reports posted here and elsewhere. The seven page thread here on xda. The news reports on various sites. The bug report on code.google.com. The fact that the update was pulled just 48 hours after rollout and hasn't been re-released. All that silly evidence confirms the 'rumour'.

No one knows who does the coding, testing, or certification procedures for either the yakju or non-yakjuux builds. Somewhere between Google and Samsung.
Google handles Yakju. They said it themselves. However yes, they are being quite elusive about the variants.

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.

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.

Wow thanks all of you for the warm welcome..uhm the phone is still in 4.0.2 guys,
I tried to check the software updates in the about phone section but it says it is up to date? I quite have forgotten what to do? start with unlocking the bootloader and root this baby?
Unfortunately it is still plastic, maybe I would consider to pimp up this phone with diamonds and gold LOL
You have a non-yakju or takju device (just firmware code names), meaning you're updated by Samsung, not Google. These updates are slower. You can switch to takju/yakju manually if you'd like, quite easily. You'll continue to be stock but just be on a different update path.
unfortunately my product model is yakjujp, is this a good info? or should I convert it to "yakju" alone product code? yes I have seen few threads or posts that I could be able to convert my device to these names.

If you want only the latest builds then yes, it would be best to swap to yakju so you don't suffer horrible delays in receiving the latest and greatest.
i had yakjuxw, changed to yakju and got 4.0.4 straight away. do it mate. you'll get 4.1 first using this way.
PS: yakju OR takju - there's no difference except for the inclusion of Google Wallet in takju - which won't work outside the US anyway.
Wow thank you for all the replies guys, I have managed to convert my yakjujp device to the yakju=maguro product name via this very very helpful Galaxy Nexus Toolkit 7.0 program and luckily it was free for a noobie like me, I am really in state of shock after being away for a year from android, now all I need to have is this Toolkit that takes commands and do the essential tasks there in itself. What I did is I downloaded the drivers, the galaxy nexus toolkit, and the google factory image for 4.0.4 IMM76I and bam now I am in 4.0.4 with unlocked bootloader, root, cwm an ehem the apps and games. Can't wait for the OTA Jelly Bean update. Are the Custom ROMS (JB) now could be as daily drivers? My geeky and nerdy self have been awakened!
