Upgrade to Android 4.2 - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Hi guys/lads, i do have a question about the official update from android for our belowed GNex. Recently i've read a lot about it and now i'm totaly dumb. I'm still on stock cause i bought my mobile like one month ago. Do i need to do something special to be able to recieve this update from google? One more question - does anyone here in Norway already got it? Cheers

if you are yakju you have to wait cuz the ota for yakju isnt out... if you are takju you should get the ota soon

You probably have yakjuxw version of image, thats why you are kinda late on receiving the update. You can try reading the stickies threads in general and development on how to flash yakju version.
Yakjuxw - update under samsung (late update)
Yakju- under google (fast update)
** i dont really remember the exact term, but if you are not yakju/takju, then update is late. You can check by turn the phone off, press vol up and down + power button together. Down at the left, there will show what version you are on.
If you are planning on upgrading to android 4.2, try reading some threads about the sdcard0/0 problems that everyone is having. Try to understand that thing first before you upgrade to 4.2, so you dont freak out

I go into About phone -> System updates
then i press check now, and then it says : Your system is currently up to date. Last checked for update is : {current time}.
Strange! Weird that you don't get the option for the update. Another option for you would be to root and rom the phone. That way you don't have to wait for OTA you can just install yourself. Good luck anyway

It appears that Google isn't pushing the updates all at once. In the Netherlands people reported the update allready in december and some where getting it in januari. I myself got it about a week and a half ago. I guess all it needs is a little patience ;-)

What factors influence getting the update ?

I'm not sure. Some say it might have to do with batches of phones that have been manufactured and shipped but I didn't see any proof of that. All I know is that I myself got the update about 2 weeks after I first got the phone this month and that other people got it in december. I even saw people who got their phones in December and got the update later then me...
I geuss the truth is in the hands and wisdom of Google ;-)

There are some variations of the phone, some are updated by google and some by Samsung. I had YAKJUXW before and didnt get the updates, but after i changed to YAKJU the update came immidiately after i booted the phone.
The difference of the builds is just regional i think, but i could be wrong.

True. Forgot about that. But the fact remains that also with JAKJU the update was rolled out in stages. I myself have a JAKJU and I heard of many getting the OTA for 4.0.2 on different moments.
If you have a JAKJUxx build the update should indeed come from Samsung.

If i were to change my phone from yakjuxw to yakju, would i still get norwegian T9 keyboard when it comes available to ICS?

CAn you explain in short notes, what is YAKJUXW and YAKJU ?
edit : i have installed android system info, and i have found out this :
Fingerprint : samsung/yakjuxw ...
product : yakjuxw
how to change to yakju ? do i have to root phone or do something like flashing roms ? (like i did with all the hts before ? )

U will have to flash the JAKJU build so yeah, unlocking, rooting etc. There is a thread somewhee about this in this forum... I think you can also use MSKIPs tooling for that but I'm not sure...

I followed the guide in the second post of this thread to change from YAKJUXW to YAKJU.
/edit:
I don't know if the Norwegian T9 will be included in the YAKJU builds, it is NOT in the build i have now though (I'm using Swiftkey X, so it's not so important for me).
Is there any good reason why Samsung is giving out some phones with yakju and others with yakjuxw? Is Samsung doing anything with the build from Google before releasing it to us? Like adding apps or settings or restrictions?
I'm still on 4.0.1 as well. Wish I would get the update!

They are more than likely carrier tweaks, rather than Samsung. Could be anything from corporate colors to tweaks and restrictions to the OS...
Just out of curiousity, if I flash a custom dev rom (ie. cm9 or aokp), will my phone become yajku?
Nope, you will be dependent upon the ROM dev for updates (which will likely be more frequent), and you will probably have to flash them yourself...
I followed this method.. Everything is great now

I don't think this right. For example, here in Canada, all of the carriers have the same build, the yakjuux. It is not carrier dependent, so that's why I don't think there are carrier tweaks. (Unless of course, all the carriers in Canada use the same tweaks!) The same goes for the yakjuxw builds. Those are found in more than one country, and on more than one carrier, so... ?

Is it VZW/Sprint? If so, it might be months until you get it.. that is if they approve of the update anyways. GSM you will get it mid july.. rooted.. you have it right now.

How can I check it? I haven't got even to 4.0.4 so it makes sense for me that I wont be updated..
If I root my phone, will my sms(which arent sycronised) deleted?and what about the rest of my information on the phone? can it damage my phone?
Rooting and flashing ROM's can damage your handset if you don't know what you're doing. Most flashing errors can be erectified though.
Where are you located in the world?
Verizon and Sprint are US based LTE handsets, they arent sold outside the states since they cant work on other LTE networks. Take a picture of your "About phone" page (screenshots can be taken with pressing "Volume down + Power" simultaniously.
Im from Israel.. so its not Verizon probably..
the site doesnt allow me to upload images because im new.. so:

Jellybean isn't officially updated yet mate. You won't get the update for at least two weeks if you have a stock phone. Those of us running it all have rooted phones or were at google i/o and got given jellybean phones.

Have you tried to clear Google framework data and the try to check for updates again?
Swiftkey'ed on my CM9 Galaxy Nexus
I understand your confusion. A Nexus phone should get the update as soon as possible.
I just updated my phone yesterday, thanks to efrant how to guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170&highlight=yakjuzs
the problem is so many builds, I learned that yakju build is directly supported by google. However, today I learned that the build takju got the Jellybean update. Question what about the rest, yakjuux, yakjuzs, yakjujp.....etc.? I don't know, only android team knows the update process, so I hope they post something about that in google+, but I doubt that.
We have to wait, either get it OTA(which my never happen) or flash the update manually as soon google post the update URL's specified for your phone build.
If you have quadrant standard installed you can see your build under system information.

Nexus not getting OTA

Hi Friends,
I have bought Galaxy Nexus in Singapore(currently using it in India) and it is in 4.0.2 version. When I do a system update check it shows that the software is up to date. How to get OTA for my phone? I want to taste Jelly Bean without using any custom ROM...
Also, my phone's product name is Yakjuxw and I found that the OTA will not be updated by Google but by Samsung. Is the problem because of this?
Thanks in Advance,
Kumaran

Thats the problem right there, samsung hasnt updated there versions past 4.0.2 and there are no signs theyre doing it(4.0.4) so dont expect any JB ota anytime soon
So yeah youre gonna have to wait a long time man
I suggest you flash a yakju/takyu image and wait for the OTA in mid july
Or
Use the root method offered here
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
Thanks for your prompt reply.
Sure, I will flash yakju image this weekend and wait till July. If the OTA gets delayed then I will root my phone for JB
Thanks,

Android 5.0

Does anyone know if it was released today? I saw two articles on google that it was released for D581. Any news on it?
The bits I can find are talking about a Cyanogen CM12 release for the D851. Not stock from LG yet. But perhaps my google-fu is off today.

Hey guys, so judging from this thread the D581 isn't on lollipop yet huh? A friend of mine just got this phone but is using it here in Canada on Wind Mobile. Will the 5.0 update be pushed from T Mobile, which in essence would exclude him from the update, or is it coming directly from LG?
