What do you think of JB 4.1.2 so far? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

How do you find 4.1.2 so far? What are the problems you have experienced? Do you feel real change with that update? I find it ok but the launcher crashes a lot -I never had that with 4.1.1, I like the expandable notification, and generally I don't think it was worth how many times I tried the Google Services trick to finally get it. Just was wondering what everyone thought of it.

4.1.1 was bug free . 4.1.2. was a minor update , a few additions to settings in certain areas but not bug free . When i am swipping from downloaded apps , running and all apps , force stopping apps , my screen freezes for a few secs and i get a would u like to send a big report pop up . I have heard other people getting the same bug , so i think its a jelly bean issue , hopefully its fixed in the 4.2 update . If i don't force stop apps the bug doesn't appear

Dude...Android 4.2 is coming in a few days. This thread is pointless, and 4.1.2 was a bug fix release mostly aimed at the Nexus 7.

I still didn't like how they have not fixed the thumbnail view in windows explorer.

I understand 4.2 is coming out soon, and personally I can't wait to get the Hand Gestures keyboard, since Swype has become very slow and lag a lot. So I just thought to see how everyone find the 4.1.2 update after using it for quiet some time and knowing the 4.2 is just a few days away. And I find many bugs with the 4.1.2

4.1.1 had good battery life.. 4.1.2 had horrible battery life even with trinity kernel..

I agree, the battery life is really horrible with 4.1.2 compared to the 4.1.1. I don't understand how they can mess something like that I up

Check your location settings in Maps.
I'm getting the same as 4.1.1

How should the location settings in maps like to save battery? I don't use Latitude, and GPS is always off on my device

I see lag with 4.1.2. Many times launcher refreshes with some delay when I returning from browser or some other apps..looks like some ram issue.. I am considering flashing 4.1.1 again.

Dont hold your breath for Android to fix the lag. Ever since I had the Galaxy nexus, the user experience has been severely lacking.

You never miss a chance to bash Android and this phone, do you.

I am on 100% pure, unrooted Google Play Store GNex and have had zero problems going from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2.

I'm also on stock unrooted 4.1.2 and everything is perfect.

I agree there is lag still but does any mobile OS do what Android can do in terms of sheer functionality?
Nope.

Market updates are available effectively at the same time for everyone, whether you have a Nexus or not. The Nexus does not get special treatment for app updates in the Play Store.
Its just an app update, chill out. Are you seriously complaining because it popped up in Play Store 1 hour later?
Im not complaining really, i just wanted to know , thanks

Question- choppy/unstable Bluetooth?

K so when I fist got my gnex I could use it with my Bluetooth speakers from a far range I could be like two rooms away and could still here it fine and it would be smooth. That was stock. Now that I'm rooted and running aokp it is horrible. I can't be more than 4 or 5 feet from the speakers without it cutting in and out and being really unusable.... would this be the rom (aokp M5) or the kernel (latest Franco nightly)?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Could be either, especially if AOKP is using the wrong bcmdhd.cal for the device.

You answered your own question. Go back to stock if you need things to work properly. Custom roms are experimental at best, since they introduce all kinds of problems, including app incompatibility, hardware instability and broken features (like voicemail notifications not working).
Good luck.

The video is in Spanish... In the Youtube comments it's not clear if he already shared this ROM on XDA. I looked around, but I could not find it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=33DoSZuS1ao&feature=player_embedded
I like the additions they added to the notification bar and I love Google Now. Can't wait for the update..whenever it gets here

Yea I agree, I do prefer stock JB, but the current AOKP or CM builds just aren't stable enough for me. Touchwiz is perfectly fine though.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
wow.. i cant wait till there is a test version of this rom available for the masses. Im constantly going back between CM10 and Diet ICS/kyanROm. I simply dont have good battery life with ICS roms, but with CM10, its a day and night difference in terms of battery consumption. Only downside to Cm10 is that there is no access to netflix just yet.
But Cm10 is a work in progress (WIP), so it will get better, as it already has, in due time.
still prefer the pure bean!

Yea once CM10 gets Netflix fixed I'm hoping back onboard. The only other thing that makes me stray away from CM is the vibration intensity... it's too damn strong

the difference in performance alone when you drop touchwiz is enough for me to deal with that stuff
i did kind of get used to s-voice, but it made the home button laggy and couldnt be bound to another gesture

I cant wait for this to leak for our phones. I have always hated touch wiz. But I have to admit, I don't mind it on the s3. From the looks of that video it looks like a good mash up.
Google now was featured. And it seems there are some problems with the build, at least if the thread on xda is any indication. Good to see Samsung is working on it though!

Same here. I used to hate TouchWiz, but the one on SGS3 is pretty bearable and very smooth.
This JB leak is definitely welcome. Let's just remove that S voice and start using Google Now.
If someone can just port the camera app onto CM10, it will be golden.

Did you go back to stock AFTER 4.1.2 update?

Simple, I would like to know how many of you went back to stock ROM after 4.1.2 was released. I tried a couple of ROMs that had the update included and I was having so many data drops, SOD, Google server disconnections that I said "**** this" and flashed the latest factory image on my phone.
My previous phone was a Motorola Atrix. That phone never received ICS, much less JB update. It made sense to unlock it and flash a tasty JB ROM even if it had bugs. I strongly believe this phone is better on stock firmware than custom. It just feels so much solid.
Did 4.1.2 made you return to stock?

Your issues aren't ROM issues. You have radio issues and that could likely be simply a firmware bug or an actual hardware fault. Update your radios and report back.

It used to be stock for me, but I found trebuchet smoother than stock launcher recently (Stock is good but I noticed quite irritating choppiness in app drawer that doesn't exist at all in trebuchet), so it's either cm10 or since yesterday Dark PA for me!
About MIUI, version from 1012 (theme - suave) was choppy as hell on my handset. Lag was especially evident on notification pulldown...it basically hurt my eyes. Hopefully it seems to be gone in last build (1019)
No I am using a CM10 based ROM. Very snappy.
No reason for me to go back to stock. Codename Android 3.8.0 works fine for me with Trinity A67 kernel. With stock I wouldn't have nearly as much customization options as with CNA.
Using miui 4.1.2 and loving it!

Android 4.2.2

Hey People,
Just wondering if it's worth upgrading to 4.2.2 ... based on what I know, the changes doesn't justify it.
Appreciate your comments.
cheers,
Alex
Bug fixes don't justify it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
it was worth it for me, for you perhaps not.
If I were you I'd not upgrade because the perceived benefit does not out weigh your paranoia.
Why wouldn't you upgrade? Aren't frequent updates part of the reason we chose nexus devices.

Guys,
don't get me wrong. My impression of 4.2.2 was just more for the graphical usage ... I'll update when it it being sent to my phone again ... thanks!!

On stock 4.2.2. Bluetooth tethering still borked. Can't tether my N7 for more than a few seconds at a time.
I'm using Carbon ROM which is up to 4.2.2 and the tethering works well to PC's or MAC books.
sorry for my shallow knowledge but pls clarify one basic q of mine:
If i update to 4.2.2 as indicated by my samsung galaxy nexus phone notification...will it get locked and unrooted again ?
I have used wugfresh in past to unlock boot and take backups...
I've stock 4.2.2 with only root, but I still have some annoying bugs like wifi that stops working when the phone is in standby(yes, the settings are correctly set up), the clock in the lockscreen presents some position problem when I push the power button and I find a slow passage to 3g connection when I turn off wifi.

It'll not get locked after OTA update but you will lose root. To keep root; use the free app "OTA RootKeeper"
