Do you have a case on it? I have found my ebay case definitely blocks the GPS.
Had the same issue it was the weather channel app

I don't think he means that the GPS can't connect. He means that it I'd always searching fit no apparent reason. And yes I have this issue as well

I had the issue with the Beautiful Widgets weather clock widget. I found no other solution but to turn the widget off until the problem is fixed.
Was it working for you before 4.2? I find that the GPS for this phone is just plain brutal (or maybe mine is just defective). It usually takes a few min to lock on then when it does and I start driving, it starts jumping all over the map.
edit: Read the post again and sounds like he means it's trying to lock on randomly by itself.
The device is randomly trying to lock on GPS even I dont use any app who requires GPS location.

I have noticed it too after updating to 4.2.

It's probably not Android itself but one of the background apps/widgets that causes the issue due to incompatibility with 4.2. In my case it was Beautiful Widgets.
it is Samsungs thing.. Pretty sure! i've had 4 Samsung phones and all of them have this bug.
Droid Charge at the end of it's life 6 month Just Forgot out about GPS
S2 also also had Problems
S2 Skyrocket gave up on locking after ICS release
Galaxy Nexus stopped locking GPS after 4.2
First 3 phones started to have problems after recent updates. As well as Nexus// But i'm pretty sure carriers phones could have been messed up by Carrier software or Samsungs itself buy i'm not sure why Nexus is having this issue.

Spinz78,read again. This is bit the case.
I kinda silve the problem. I flashed a new rom and I had problems with MyBackup Pro on the restore process so I had to reinstall all my apps manualy. Of course I didn't install every app that I had and for now the problem is gone.

Is it out yet for the nexus? Cause I need it badly, I keep thinking I have it lol

It took me a few days to stop trying to swype. I tried SlideIT, ended up liking the stock keyboard more.
To actually answer the question, apparently they have not updated it yet for GNex screen resolution.

I used to be a swype fanatic... nothing seemed as fun or efficient. i installed and uninstalled SwiftKey about 3 times before just settling on it due to really appreciating its predictive text capabilities and accuracy. also the fact that it learns your style so well. so ya, try it out

The thread title is misleading as others including myself may think it's actually out when it's not.

screen resolution shouldn't be a problem, I'm using swype on my rezound. Maybe an ICS incompatibility???

It's incompatible because swype doesnt see the resolution because of the Softkeys on the bottom (Screen res. is reported a little less then 720p).
As to getting an update on it...Doubtful there will be any before early 2012.
As I understand it Swype got aquired by a different company (Nuance), so they are in the "thinking box" trying to decide which software should be implemented where...

Swype please
I've been in the swype beta program for Android for about 2 years and still waiting for a bill to buy the product. Maybe through the acquisition by Nuance there could be an investment to make it a product (OEM licence or end-user) and then engage the developers to finish the excellent work started by the first team.
Start with ICS and pick up some of the tablet market too.
YGM!

I upgraded to the Galaxy Nexus a little while ago and am officially decommissioning my Droid Incredible 2 (but I'll still keep it as a backup just in case). I won't have time to root it until this weekend, but once I do, I look forward to sharing my ROM flashing adventures with you guys. And with the sheer number of ROMs available for this device, it looks like I'll be in flashaholic heaven.

I noticed that when I first got the phone and was running a stock rom. Doesn't seem to be an issue when custom roms.
Also, if you haven't unlocked your bootloader yet, remember to back up the important stuff because it will wipe everything.

Hey guys, I was hoping we could start a list of roms that have working Google wallet. So far the only rom I've used that works with Google wallet is the AOKP roms. Chime in with your rom and I'll add to the list.
Also check out Geniusdog254's nfc mods for using nfc with the screen off or from the lock screen.

It loads up on ever rom, but won't actually allow you to complete a transaction on some of them. Unless I'm mistaken and this is a kernel issue..

I had that happen once a few months ago. No idea what was the cause or if it would happen again (not a big fast food eater, I think that was actually the last time I've been in a mcdonalds). But it was probably a few versions of Google Wallet ago so I'd at least be optimistic for that reason.
I was able to make a purchase using Liquidsmooth ROM.

Same here.
I had my Nexus for about 6 weeks before rooting it and installing CM9. During that time I used Google Wallet almost daily.
Once rooted apprx a week ago, I have not gotten it to work in the very same stores it did work previously.
What happens is when held against the reader, it vibrates and beeps as it should but nothing occurs on the cash register.
It have the "unsupported message" in google wallet.
I have enough funds in my Google Card
I have "NFC" enabled in settings.

Mine just worked at McDonald's using the 6/21 nightly on my Toroplus. I have had it fail many times before so I was pleasantly surprised when it did work. I doubt it's the reason but the only thing I've done differently than before is I have Wallet installed as a system app. I modified the Gapps package so that most of the Google apps are installed as system apps. I don't know if there was a recent update or if it's due to being a system app but Wallet doesn't ask for SU now.
Hello,
are there anybody meet the similar problem as following:
My new Galaxy nexus cannot connect data via GPRS, 3G or Edge sometimes (one time in one or two days), but phone call, SMS, and WIFI is workable as usual, meanwhile the signal bar will be grey from blue.
I can do nothing but reboot the phone, GPRS will recover after the reboot. I am really really frustrated caused by it...:crying:
Version is 4.1.1 by OTA
baseband is I9250XXLF1
I appreciate someone can pick me out of this problem.
Likely an APN issue... or you have a bad SIM. Have you tried your SIM in another device, or called your service provider?
I hv changed a new SIM, still hv the problem...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
At that time, the signal bar changed to grey, and no small arrow inside of the bar, does that mean no data connection?
its a hardware issue or system issue?
My phone is in original 4.1.1 by OTA. No root...
Are there someone can help me???

I have a Nexus, my girlfriend has a Nexus and my friend has a Nexus. We all have a connection problem that requires a phone restart in order to be fixed. We're on a different carriers. So I think it is quite a popular problem. Just my opinion.
