If were taking a real guess, i'll say March 2013.
Yeah I said around February or March as well.
Thinking positively: Verizon "has to" test the update to make sure it's up to their specifications. If they work on it quickly and start immediately perhaps mid-December.
Thinking realistically: They won't test it immediately, or testing will take longer than a month. Feburary or March as stated earlier.
Thinking negatively: Verizon already had a fire sale on the Galaxy Nexus, they want it out of stock and unsupported ASAP. Testing never begins and an OTA never occurs. Verizon twiddles its thumbs wondering why Google no longer wants to work with them.
Probably never... which is why I'm switching to T-Mobile as soon as I'm off contact (if not before, not sure how steep their cancellation fee is)

4.2 is/has been released to AOSP. You can wait on vzw.... but our talented devs will have ROMs based on 4.2 out way sooner than one could speculate about vzw. Custom and stock flavors to your liking soon

The Dev's here I believe had 4.1 on the Verizon Galaxy Nexus about 2 days after it was released.
I just saw a 4.2 AOSP ROM posted on the "other" site. There aren't any linked GApps included though, so there might be a few things missing until a new package is created.

Yes, and the OTA hit the Nexus about 8-10 weeks after some of the first "usable" firmwares started rolling out from developers, especially CM10, which devs jumped on fairly quickly.
My question...
How soon from release will AOSP become usable firmwares that devs can release to the wild?
You would think it would be fast, but I beg to differ. One compound word........ Roadrunner.

It took Verizon approximately 2 months and 14 days to start OTA'ing 4.1. So my guess would be...January 24th.

Yes please to that! I am also a Verizon GNex victim and was thinking the same thing! I'm switching to T-Mobile and getting a Nexus directly from Google from now on...when I can afford it. This Verizon behavior is too much violation for me.
March sounds like a good estimate, it's sad. I contemplated leaving them too.
Instead for now though, I just went and unlocked/rooted/flashed MMuzzy's AOSP rom and it's rock solid. No more waiting.
We will see the update, but since Verizon is sunsetting this phone, I expect it will go the way of the other "Nexus" device Verizon had...the Motorola Xoom. Once a device becomes a non-priority at VZW, basically they'll test the updates whenever they get around to it, thus the updates take longer to test and approve than they used to. Sadly this is what happened to the Xoom. The Wi-Fi version got 4.1.1/JRO03H in July and its final update to 4.1.2/JZO54K in October. The Verizon version is still on 4.0.4/IMM76L and Motorola doesn't expect Google's 4.1.2 OTA to be approved by Verizon until some time in Q1 2013.
That said, the Galaxy Nexus almost certainly sold exponentially more units than the Xoom did, so hopefully that means the Galaxy Nexus won't become quite that much of a bastard child. Time will tell.
With all that in mind, Vegas currently has the over/under on a 4.2.1 OTA at February 1. I'm taking the under. I say mid January... assuming Google can cool their jets on the update schedule. If a 4.2.2 OTA comes out before Verizon approves 4.2.1, our wait counter starts over. That's why the VZW Galaxy Nexus never got 4.1.2/JZO54K or 4.2/JOP40C. They came out too fast. 4.1.2 came out in October, followed by 4.2 in mid November, followed by 4.2.1 two weeks later.

Maybe Verizon nexus owners will see 4.2.2 first on this round. Wouldn't surprise me to much, since the testing team tends to get a lot of subtle tweaks made (we are on JRO03O and not version C like the takju/yakju variants). At worst someone should be leaking some version in the coming weeks.

It may be released next month by Google. But the US carriers are going to take a couple months to get them to us, the consumer.
For example, Samsung already gave Sprint the update for our phones beginning of October, but we won't be getting it until December.

I bet if that update was for the IPhone Sprint would have rolled it out already and wasted no time in supporting it.
Now I am talking about Apple updates here not Samsung. Just saying that if Sprint would have gotten a update from Apple the Apple users would have gotten it already. Unlike all the other users who has to wait and wait and be treated like a red headed step child.

The difference is that Apple sends updates directly. Samsung goes through Sprint. Sprint doesn't have much of a say as to when an Apple update gets released.

That was also before they made the promise to deliver the updates to devices that can get them in a reasonable time.
The moment got 3 or 4 updates in it's lifespan. It actually had 2.1 before the Hero.
The Epic got boofed sure, but still, I think this one will be different, and I think the Epic is the reason they didn't go with a whole new form factor.
Hopefully Samsung will follow HTC's lead. HTC announced 8 devices today that will be getting ICS in early 2012. 2 Sprint phones are on that list. http://tinyw.in/Fw1H

I don't particularly like this thinking. Maybe some of you buy a Nexus to root it, but I buy a Nexus for the exact opposite. I buy a Nexus so that I never have to root or tamper with my device, and so that I will get updates directly from Google carrying the latest bugfixes. Afterall, the phone is advertised as being 'Simple. Beautiful. Beyond smart' as well as being 'pure Google'.

Verizon has officially posted support documentation for the Gnex Jelly Bean update. It's Android 4.1.1 and the build is JRO03O. You can see the changelog at http://www.verizonwireless.com/galaxynexussupport.

That would be nice. Not getting my hopes up though. It is Verizon...
Saw this article earlier today and wondered the same thing. The reports from everyone here on XDA seem to indicate that the new radios are doing a lot to improve the signal drop issues. What are the odds that Verizon will kick out the radios as a stand alone update though?
That would be unprecedented. I highly doubt they'd kick out just the radios...but who knows. I guess we'll find out!

Well for one, the IMM76Q update was never released OTA to the general public. It was only pushed to test devices. Some refurb devices have shipped preloaded with it, though. Secondly, and more importantly, that IMM76Q OTA didn't have new radios. It used the same radios as IMM76K.

You better believe it is frustrating for VZW when I call CS looking for help with this issue. Sure the credits they offer are nice but I try to keep them on the line as long as possible so that it's kind of expensive for them every time I call. If I'm feeling particularly bored while doing simple tasks at work, I'll ask for a supervisor or get them to confirm something with their network team.

IMM76Q is coming on ALL warranty devices as far as I know. I haven't seen anyone say that they got something else on a warranty replacement yet. Also, who says that the issue is related to the radios? Something wrong in framework, one of the RIL proprietaries, or even the radio driver in the kernel could easily cause the radio to drop out constantly. There are several things outside of the radio firmware itself that control the function of the cell radios, so the fix may not be in a radio firmware update at all.

If you examine the OTA update IMM76Q from IMM76K (that was pushed to test phones), it's pretty clear that all the file changes were made to files that directly affect the device-wide search. That was the true purpose of IMM76Q...to bork the device-wide search because of the patent litigation with Apple. That's probably why new and warranty devices are shipping with it while existing phones are happily running IMM76K. If IMM76Q had anything relating to connectivity, even non-radio firmware-related, you can bet they would have pushed IMM76Q to existing phones with IMM76K as well.

If an OTA was delayed over a year, I'm sure it was more the OEM than Verizon. What phone was that?

Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium
It's not so much it was omitted on purpose, but that Samsung has to work with the carriers so they can add their bloatware. This most likely caused Samsung to send an earlier version of the Touchwiz'd Android so that the carriers have enough time to put in their software and tweaks and still release the phones in a timely fashion. The US variants were already released a month after the international version. We probably wouldn't have the US Note II for T-Mobile today had Samsung taken more time to get multi-window working before submitting the software to the carriers to do their thing.

That's the most logical explanation I've read thanks, so are you confident that when it is enabled for AT&T I'm hearing soon that T-Mobile will not be left behind?
I also heard that Wi-Fi will be improved along with adding the spit-screen multi-tasking multi-view, does that suggest the Wi-Fi is currently unreliable?
Also what ever happened to Samsung Galaxy Note II Screen Recorder function?
I'd like to stop having to seriously consider the international models..Thnx

Yea I know hopefully well see something soon. I think we will get it when they update all the gs3 and note 2 to 4.2. I jist dont see them doing any extra work to compile 2 updates for us. I think theyll just put it in with the 4.2 update thats slated for quarter 1 of 2013

spoke to my tmobile shop a few times on this When igot my note2 and they all believed (strangely both confidently and honestly) the update will be on the 15th. Dunno how useful that is but they seemed sure of it

This was being discussed in another thread and someone pointed out that it's probably something like Wi-Fi calling which is making it take longer than the Sprint update.
Here's a teaser for u guys!! hehe

Well, Wi-Fi calling is an nice feature. It is important that they get it right.
TMOBILE: Please. Take your time and hurry up!

If Sprint is releasing it already & AT&T & Verizon are expected to have it by Nov 27th, what is the likelihood that T-Mobile will not have it this month?
Also what ever happened to the Galaxy Note II Screen Recorder function ?

I think itll be bundled with the 4.2. Update. But its not exactly killing me to wait for it. This phone is a beast and its the phone ive always been looking for. I think itll be a while before we get it though

Isnt 4.2 being released with the nexus 4? If so we won't see it I bet for 2-4 months, if not later.

Why would you think that when every other major carrier is likely getting it this month like the international Note2 has on 4.1 (before a 4.2 update that could take months for any US Note2)?
Could we get T-Mobile to comment on being competitive on this considering Sprint is releasing it already & AT&T & Verizon are expected to have it by Nov 27th?

I am done with Samsung...they say October. .but really mean December.
And then the US carriers have to test and bloat it...so we are looking March next year!!!!
I am buying the next Nexus and noting but Nexus from now on.

Agreed. Goodbye Samsung. It's pathetic that its going to 2014 before a phone released in October 2012 gets a software update. You've lost me as well.

More like January or Feb, I'd say or maybe never...at least for the Sprint variant. It isn't in Sprint's interest to push updates unless the other carriers do. Of course Samsung wants to get these updates moving because they want the public to feel they'll be supported if they purchase a Samsung branded device but brand loyalty isn't in Sprints interests unless the brand is Sprint and that of course is usually maintained at the end of a very thin thread as it is.
As for the possibility of receiving the 4.3 update. I'm always excited about OTA updates because updates play a fairly big role in future versions of Android. The more updates there are the more well understood it is what the public wants/needs from future versions because of the broader spectrum of users providing feedback.
For my own personal device...I don't care. I run what I want on my device anyway regardless of whatever Samsung/Sprint/Google push. I don't give a rats ass about having a "pure" Android experience or being the first to get the latest version (no offense to the Nexus fans) either. I want my device dirty and nasty with a big moustache. I don't want be like one of those creeps that hangs around the strip clubs but never pays for a lap dance...I'm in the champaign room and let me tell you there is more going on in there than the song says. Why do you think I'm hanging around here? Trick it, brick it, fix it, trick it and brick it again...that's what it all about.

a million times, this.. love the removable battery and storage but not sure if it's worth the [email protected]!%
Yea don't really care because Google separated their core services from the operating system so most of the really great feature are now pushed through Google rather than being a part of a new os version.
Android updates aren't as feature rich anymore.

To the ones complaining who are you going to then? Unless its a Google phone it will be the same across all manufacturers. At least we have a date. Samsung actually announces all devices that will be upgraded at the same time unlike others like HTC who just tells u that their it phone of the moment will be upgraded while the rest get lost in forgotten land. Samsung actually has been the best non Google manufacturer with updates to their Galaxy line..

I love how in this thread it's bunch of people complaining about how updates don't come fast enough and then when you look at the next thread in this section it's all about getting rid of the updater to stop those "pesky" notifications trying to get you to update... lol
They say December, but that's when they're submitting it to sprint. We'll actually get it Feb or Mar in 2014. Mark my words lol.

Pretty sure that you're missing the point.
The updates that we all are anxious for are system updates that ROM devs can work with, make better ROMs for us all. Definitely worth "complaining" about.
That other thread is about a fault where the phone thinks it needs a software update, but not really, or the update in question is actually not desirable for whatever reason.
Welcome to XDA.

I've been thinking long n hard about that, as an option. I do love my Note2, with the exception of the plastic, it's a badass device. But I don't actually use the pen as much as I thought I would. So taking a long look at the HTC Mega (?), and hoping that it makes it to the US... I allow myself a new phone every year, it being a hobby I indulge myself in, and I always buy outright, no ETF charges...
