Hey guys,
I'm considering buying a gnex from Amazon stores, but only if I'm sure I'll be able to instantly upgrade to JB.
But after reading some posts on this forum - some users seem to not have KB?
I have even seen a thread titled "to those lucky enough to have jb...".
So, what's the story, and is buying from amazon worth it?
Cheers,
Zero

You can easily put it on there through custom roms, such is the awesomeness of nexus

Are you able to buy from the Google Play Store? That's where I got mine. I had JB with in 10 mins of opening the box.
sent from my Galaxy Nexus running official Jelly Bean!!!!
Get it from the play store or wherever you get it from, flash the takju factory image and youll get JB straight away
I'm in Australia ATM and the play store says its not available?

Pretty sure Play Store is only available to the US.
But as the other user said, Flash Takju (efrant has a great guide available) and you'll be able to pull the update straight away.
Questions you may have:
You can keep the bootloader locked...
No need to have custom anything on the phone. Or "root" it. Your phone will be exactly the same as if you bought it directly from Google.
And since the device will be brand new, you're not going to be losing any data.
From this point forward you'll always receive updates directly from Google. AKA as soon as they're available.
Thanks for the info.
Also, what do all of the yakju / takju words mean?
Cheers

Was it available as OTA update or it came with JB pre-installed ? I live in India and getting this phone from US play store through a friend. He has already received but it did not come with JB. It has ICS also the model number says galaxy nexus (no I9250) , is it same as GT-I9250 ?

If somebody gets the OTA on NON YAKJU devices, please be so kind to post it here with the build of your phone (eg. YAKJUXW) and your location. Thanks.
For me: stock YAKJUXW Singapore: no OTA yet
No OTA for my YAKJUXW device yet. From Singapore also...makes me wonder if we are being left out by Google

Xw devices typically one month lag. I lost patience so I unlocked and changed to YAKJU 4.0.4. It doesn't change warranty status and remains upgradable for future updates from Google. Just unlock don't need to root.

but it is sure that the device be updated with build yakjuxw although with more time, I would not want that are not updated at all ... sorry use google translator for English
I dont mind 1 month delay too. just as long as it comes.

Impossible to know. After the yakju rollout of 4.0.2 some builds got the update just weeks later. Due to various delays some in Canada and other places have yet to receive 4.0.2. If Google stops the yakju rollout to fix the signal dropping issue then everyone could be pushed back. It could be days or weeks or months.
There is a new ota update for yakju which should fix the issues of 4.0.4, maybe this is the right time for us yakjuxw to finally get an update as well

maybe we yakjuxw ppl are lucky because the yakju guys are testing the new roms for us )
Still Nothing...

Based on previous updates, non-yaku builds will get the update notification no earlier than one week after the first yakju build got it. So you have a few more days to wait...
yakjuxw, still no update for 4.0.4
sad case
Still Nothing... (yakjuxw )
Since first 4.0.4 OTA for yakju it's already over a month of lag.
At least I don't have any major issues with my device, do I will keep waiting patiently ;-)

Hey,
Any of you guys get 4.0.4 ota yet? I've been waiting what seems like forever for those awesome fixes!

Verizon nor Google has yet to even announce an OTA.

Videotron, not Verizon. Reading is tough, that's cool.
OP, you may want to just flash the update manually. If my experience with the Nexus One is indicative, Videotron seems to sell phones with OS versions that are not set to get prompt updates.

Videotron GNex's, like all Canadian GNex's, run the yakjuux build, for which there is no update available yet (aside from a leak). There is no difference in the software between a Videotron GNex or a Bell Gnex or any other Canadian GNex.
The options available to you are:
1) Flash the leak from here. Note that it disables NFC.
2) Convert your yakjuux build to yakju or takju, both of which are already on 4.0.4, and both are supported directly by Google so they get updates first.
3) Wait until you receive the OTA update notification yourself on your yakjuux build.
Hey guy, there are some leaks screenshot of the next version of Play Store, that probably will come with Android 4.1 JB but is backward compatible with Gingerbread and ICS (in fact is shown on Galaxy SIII).
The second shoot is came from an italian user, I'm looking for him

It looks like the app store. I think I 'so a fake because it' so on a sgs3 and not on a nexus.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk 2
That's totally fake as the only android phone to get updates like jellybean first will be galaxy nexus, non nexus android phones never get updates until months later if their lucky or not at all, that's why I would never own a non nexus phone unless it was an iphone.Just look at the history S2 took forever to get ics same will happen to the S3 with jellybean an so on.
Not to mention all of the design violates all of Googles own design standards from the developer website...
*sigh*
u plonkers. read his comments. its fake:

Thanks for great advice I havent bought phone over carrier(example: Verizon or something like that), I just went to shop and bought SIM-free phone,with no limitations except warranty. Is there possibility of losing my warranty if I change from yakjuxw to yakju ??? Maybe the best thing is to call shop where i bought phone ???
Also,do I need any kind of root for changing ???
Could this be good tutorial how to change from yakjuxw to yakju :http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1787503
yes you can try that or you can use galaxy nexus toolkit, there is some way to do it, yes it's can cause lost warranty but this is galaxy nexus dude we can do what other phone can't do,you can relock,unroot or even back to yakjuxw version for warranty,
good luck n sorry for my bad English

Do you think that the galaxy nexus will still be updated to android 4.3 and 5.0?
Definitely get 4.3 with gnex as its still jellybean an its not exactly a major update just a couple of tweaks here an there, why would they discontinue the jellybean updates with the gnex while we are already on jellybean that's just stupid as for android 5 i seriously doubt we will get it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
i think we will get 5.0 also since majority of the phones in the market are still on gb and ics and single core phones, ours is still dual core and i feel its got enough juice to run the future os versions
I think the nexus 4 and 7 will get the 5.0 update, for the galaxy nexus probably only 4.3 hopefully also 5.0
