Now I know that 4.2 was just announced today, but when do you think we're going to get the update? I already can't wait. Lol

JB 4.2

The source needs to be released first before custom 4.2 roms are coming. Gooooogleeee do it fast please!

Android-Building google group.
hopefully it's rolling out to us all within a few weeks (2 or 3)
One advantage of having a big family is that someone needs a new phone you give them ur galaxy nexus and get urself a nexus 4 to replace it....
But 4.2 is gonna be so good on both phones!!! I just wonder obout battery life cause im rolling on the extended bat for the gnex... i hope battery life will be much improved with the nexus 4 with its updated hardware..
I was just thinking same thing. When is the 4.2 release for our nexus gonna come? Lol.
The new nexus 4 looks nice but I don't like the non removable battery idea. Oh well. I'm happy with my galaxy nexus anyway. Very happy.
Just got it about a month and a half ago.

Sometime after 13 November. Watch for Google to post the binary updates for 4.2 and the yakju/takju rollouts should follow shortly.

When they announced the Nexus 7 back in June....and Jelly bean...I think they released a couple of days later. In theory this should also apply. What do you guys think?

If I recall correctly that's been the norm for most of the android releases. But my memory isn't what it once was so I could be wrong.

We all know by now that the GSM Galaxy Nexus has gotten its delicious Jelly Bean update. But what about us that bought a CDMA variant. I got the feeling that we will be getting it around the same time the GSM devices get Key Lime Pie. Correct me I'm wrong and I hope someone has some good news.

When Sprint/Verizon announce it is when the update will come. I figured a member since 2008 would have figured that out by now.

Well the 4.0.4 update was small and took what like 2 months to release? 4.1 is a lot bigger update. It pains me to think about an official verizon release time frame.
Well I'm on Sprint and past experiences have shown they push updates pretty quickly. But isn't google in charge of pushing updates to the nexus devices?

No, Sprint and Verizon have to test and approve them before they push them. Google doesn't do it.
Isn't the Verizon version on the developers Site now. They say it's still experimental but at least Google is doing something.

I can say that Sprint has been pretty good with updates I have been on the NS4G and It was updated pretty quick or at least source was released *fingers crossed*
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.

Hello everyone ,
As the title says time to bid good bye to my good old Galaxy nexus my best android phone till date hands down .
Good bye to this awesome Gnex developers and big thanks to everyone
Time to remove the bookmark's and replace it with LG nexus 4 ^_^ .
Bye hope your n4 makes you happy even though its hardware makes no difference on jellybean compared to galaxy nexus, maybe in 6 months when android 5 is out i might consider it

I've already used a nexus 4 people who say they don't see the difference between smoothness and speed are just the one's who are convincing them selves not to buy nexus 4
With everything u do on the phone u can notice the difference nexus 4 is a beast of a phone on a different lvl compared to Galaxy nexus .
And as much as i love the galaxy nexus even at the time of the release it had gimp hardware compared to what could have been achieved at the time of the release .
I second that.
I better wait for "far" more powerful nexus...

A couple of weeks after the announcement at Google I/O so that would make it early june.(Or maybe july given that the nexus 4 is probably first in line now)

Google brings up 4.3 KeyLimePie not 5.0
The level of maturity here is ridiculous. The guy/gal probably just wants to know if any info has come forward about a release date, they probably don't even know about google i/o, but you guys run off making stupid remarks, would it kill you to just say, no info on it at this time.
Galaxy nexus won't even get official android 5 so don't even bother asking for a release date, whenever the new nexus phone comes out near end of 2013 around october maybe is when android 5 will come out, so you got a few more months to wait yet even if you get the new nexus.

Hey guys. I'm thinking about buying a new android phone. I have to chose between Galaxy Nexus, S2 and Htc SeNSATION.
I want to for Galaxy Nexus. but I'm wondering which will be the best for me.
I will use the phone mostly for gaming.
Which one should I choose ?? S2 has better performance for gaming but there is a big difference between it and GalaxyNexus, should I trade the little performance for the HD Display ?

Google would never abandon their baby. They're practically like a lioness, left the Nexus S to wander and grow on its own and will come back for it when KLP comes out. As for 5.0? Sammy and HTC can kiss updates goodbye, permanently. Those would probably never see the light of it.

GNex for sure
Reason: Its a Nexus device okay?
i'd agree that the Galaxy Nexus is the best choice among those 3, and the only one that will see 5.0/KLP. i will say that the processor is showing its age a little bit, but i'm not the biggest TI fan.
No brainer bro, get the GN! Heck, I'll sell you mine. Just got a brand new one from Verizon cuz my old one's charging point went out (2 years old).

Anyone who claims to have an answer to this is purely speculating. No one knows whether the GNex will see 5.0 or not. I hope yes... but after the Nexus One got abandoned, I'm not so sure the GNex will see 5.0
nexus s was abandoned already with android 4.1 (maybe because of 512 mb ram?)
so we already lucky to get 4.3
I don't have so much expectations to get 5.0..google is focusing a lot on nexus 4 / 7 / 10 ...our gnex is 2 years old, and the gpu is 3 years old, it's not slow, but useless to support..this is my thinking..we will see when 5.0 come out
Hey man, I'm interested in The Gnex, Do you think its still worth buying it? If so, i think youve got alot of knowledge, and im stuck with a galaxy Y, i want to change. Will the nexus be a good choice now? In Mid 2013? And if i get it, how long can it last with me being bored of it?

It was abandoned because 4.2 introduced the multi-user /0 folders. The Nexus S would need a full wipe (sd included) and they didn't want to push it out due to this. If it wasn't required to full wipe it during the OTA, it would've gotten it officially.

Why are you guys telling the OP that the Gnex will get 5.0? Nexus devices only have 2 years of support.
As far as Google support, the Galaxy Nexus will get 4.3.X and no further. It's up to the community to put 5.0 on it.
