Future variants of
the grouper hardware will have a minor change in one of the components
(the power management chip) that will not be compatible with 4.1.1.

Most likely there is a new revision of the hardware with a new power management chip and it will have to run 4.1.2 or later.

I had some real bad flickering a few day back, maybe i'll send it in for RMA after the new grouper hardware comes out.
As others have said and JBQ confirmed 4.1.2 is a minor update on top of 4.1.1 the new revision of hardware deals exclusively with future revisions of the Nexus 7 (grouper), not maguro or toro (Samsung Galaxy Nexus) devices. Apparently these new revisions are shipping with a new power management chip that is completely incompatible with 4.1.1 as new driver/bootloader tweaks are necessary. https://groups.google.com/forum/?fromgroups=#!topic/android-building/2rkEoKMnhzU
As per the update notification on the Nexus 7, Android 4.1.2 "improves performance and stability and fixes bugs." Not too helpful, but it's a start.

I smell a whole bunch of roms updating to this even though it does nothing for the gnex. Oh well...4.2 is coming so i'm happy.

The notification also says the stock launcher now supports supports landscape mode. Whether or not we see that on the GN is anyone's guess.

I doubt that a 31 MB update just fixed the launcher rotation and Google waited 4 months after it was released to fix it. As stated I'm sure there are some bug fixes and other misc fixes.
not excited untill a complete changelog shows some awesome changes, but I won't expect too much of such a minor update. Anyways, updates are a good thing (most of the times)
edit: I was going to add that I hope the LG Nexus will bring some more changes with it's OS, but Android Police seems to know better :
It's also a good time to bring up the fact that the LG Nexus prototype that we saw yesterday was also running 4.1.2. Today's announcement seems to add further credibility to that story.

The update is required for the new Nexus 7 hardware since previous versions aren't compatible. So if they are shipping them soon, then they need to have a proper build. Also new drivers and a new bootloader is included.

Since the device is most likely already in the manufacturing stage, it makes sense they would ship a stable build on it. Most likely Google employees are dogfooding a newer version however that will probably be available on launch day or soon after.

Samsung are beginning to roll out the fix for the volume bug. https://twitter.com/#!/SamFirmware/status/140471495288823808
Any more info, like a date, when to expect the update?
Oh, wait, it's Samsung, so it will arrive "anytime soon", which means "by the end of November", which actually means "maybe November, but definitely in December"...
Nice, I should have my Nexus by Tues or Wednesday then.
Interesting it's a radio update, not Android or anything lower level.
How will the fix be delivered? direct to the handset via update or USB?
Too bad they don't seem to have a link to it.

OTA to the handset.
Once someone gets the OTA - they can pull it from a logcat and get the URL - then anyone can download apply without waiting for their IMEI to be flagged to receive the update.
Hm, but this doesn't seem to be an official Twitter account / Website of Samsung.

I am pretty sure it will be more than just the radio, P3Droid tweeted on the 22nd about ICL52 and Adnroid 4.2 with a new baseband.... When though Samsung??!!
We were told the ICL53b update contained the fix, no mention of the baseband version. I can try to get more info but its a holiday weekend here so no idea if i will be able to reach him.

As has been proven the bug occurs when the phone is in the bootloader, so it's nothing to do with Android.
The patch needs to be at a hardware level, so it will be firmware update. That comes from Samsung, not Google.
It might be the case that the patch for this particular problem was developed by Samsung but it'll still be released by Google not Samsung. So we are waiting for both but ultimately it'll be Googles decision when to push it. At least that's my understanding of the update process of a Nexus phone.
some people in this thread need to remember a few things:
1) Nexus handsets are made as a collaboration between Google and whoever the chosen manufacturer is.
2) Google push all unbranded Nexus updates, not the manufacturer.
in the case of this update, it will likely be pushed as an update to Android anyway - I have never seen a baseband change come through to an Android handset without it being with an incremental update to Android.
I've got to the stage when I don't care who does what - all I want is an update so that the phone is usable. I suspect many early adopters think the same.
I agree mate. I don't care if apple make the fix. For me this weekend staying in London my phone was unusable in certain parts. Grrrrrrrr

Yea it works but not as good as it could, battery has been poor lately, wi-fi/3g/gps signal is low compared to other phones I have (same network/wifi/area) we are a api level behind the official release of ICS (4.0.3) and the last update was December. Now I believe it will be ready when its ready and with fewer bugs but there is a point where it takes the p*ss.

Maybe everybody's but mine. Mine still suffers from low signal/data drops and the horrendous loss of outbound audio bug, which is unacceptable for any phone. I just hope a software update fixes it, as I really like the phone...when it works.

Aside from the fact that I have yet to find and get working the following 2 apps:
1) An app to eliminate the grease mark left by my fingers; and,
2) An app to change the casing from plastic to metal.
I have no issues beyond the standard "It's a smartphone, it'll crash once in a while." that's happened even with my first Palm Treo smartphone .. those Treos and Windows Mobile disasters crashed several times a day even. My Galaxy Nexus has blown up maybe 3 times in the last 30 days. Not bad.
This is the finest phone I have ever owned and it runs like a champ.
My phone is the GSM one.
edit: Also I'm not itching for some update. Everything works fine for me ... so no need for me to get uppity.
Those of you have been waiting for the Galaxy Nexus to gain support for Bluetooth Low Energy - to enable syncing with devices like the Fitbit Flex or Polar heart monitor - can stop. While BLE support will arrive in the next drop of Android, it will - according to one of the folks on the Android team - apparently not be making its way to the Nexus. See the comment here:
https://plus.google.com/116110604589325140832/posts/VsF1BcaFY1g
Looks like the best bet, then, is either custom ROMs or upgrading to a Nexus 4 or later.
Great... Another nail in the coffin against the galaxy nexus, time to start looking for a suitable replacement.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
This question is fairly general as I'm considering the remaining life of my device. Does anyone have an idea, once API level 18 is released, is it possible or probable that we will get BLE ported over in a ROM? Should I hold out hope for my Nexus or move on? BLE is something I've been looking forward to for a while.
Lol, that's just ****ing weak.

I don't think it's that simple, it will require some work to port it over, I remember that a google employee mentioned in the keynote that BLE requires a new stack. Correct me if i'm wrong, i'm kinda sleepy when i watched the keynote..
Yeah, which will come with next Android release. They just don't want to bother with the drivers for GN, which is bull****.

No one cares, since they get them from the stock build.
So, now that Android 4.3 is out, what are the chances of getting BLE ported from another device with the same BT chip?

If someone were to track down the people who are providing ROMs with the all binaries included, even the ones that are not licensed to us by Google and manufacturers, there would be no 100% complete ROMs.

I already got 4.3 on my GNex, I can confirm that nothing changed in the Bluetooth settings screen. But I don't know if you can see BLE support in the interface somewhere or is it only under the hood?

I'm unsure if you're saying it will get it or won't.
They just recertified BT 3.0 for it. If you go to https://www.bluetooth.org/tpg/listings.cfm and top in GT-I9250 in the search box you'll notice that it says it as for 3.0 not 4.0.
If you put in the model LG-E960 (nexus 4) and search you'll notice that it was for 4.0.
so will gnex support BLE ?
It doesn't have it, they would certify for 4.0 if it would. Only way (unofficial at least) would be to work with with similar binaries from a 4.0 certified device, if it's possible.
It sucks ass, but I guess it was more of a business decision then a engineering one. Personally I don't see much point in having a Nexus anyway, so this decision kinda sealed that I'll look around for the next phone.
Even though I'm on 4.4

I loved that, too. It looks like Google disabled the functionality for devices that didn't get a factory KitKat ROM as of April 14th. I would post a link to the Google support page about it, but I'm too new to XDA to post links.
I started getting notices in the app over the last month, then the functionality disappeared on April 14th, just as it described. I'm not sure what the technical reason was, if any.

That blows. Loved being able to use GWallet.
that's ridiculous is there any sort of workaround in the works?
I've moved on to the Nexus 5 a few months ago but I don't remember that being an issue when I had the Galaxy Nexus. I was on Verizon and used Google Wallet just fine. I don't know if they updated something that broke it though.
Maybe the gnex doesn't have the host emulation thing?

As I understand it, and I could very well be wrong, but I thought Host card emulation was a completely software driven system. No more need for the secure element on the Gnex anymore.

4.4.4 has only been out for 4 months, you think you'd have it already on a carrier specific phone, and samsung at that? and with 4.4.4 being a minor update?
By the time 4.4.4 released, Sammy was already well into working on 5.0 Why do the work for a minor update when you could just go straight for the big release?

And to answer Techsavvy2's question, in Verizon at least, the GS5 4.4.4 update fixed many Bluetooth issues that were present in 4.4.2. But I agree with Tech's point in that new for new's sake is a little pointless.

I hope we see it before the New Year, although I know the odds of that happening are almost nil. I also hope Samsung adopts the new aesthetic as much as possible, though their current version of Touchwiz is much better than previous versions.
Hope so. Not going to hold my breath waiting though.

Hopefully as stated earlier in the thread it holds true for AT&T. Maybe they will realize with such a big OS release that people will want it sooner than later.
I have a feeling AT&T is going to delay it for at least a month while it figures out what features they want to disable to add in their own bloated, pay to use version of it !
