So I just bought the GSM version of the Galaxy Nexus. It is yakju and I am using it with AT&T. No matter how many times I've tried I cannot get the phone to do an OTA update to at least 4.0.2, let alone 4.0.4. So I have a couple questions, keeping in mind that I am not particularly interested in rooting and would rather just do an OTA update.
1. Will the 4.0.2 update eventually come through if I wait? I don't mind waiting, but I don't want to wait indefinitely without making any progress.
2. If I do want to or need to do a manual update, can I go straight from 4.0.1 to 4.0.4?
Like I said, I would prefer to wait for the OTA update as I'm having no issues with 4.0.1 right now.
On a completely unrelated note, I have 14 days to return this phone. If you were me, would you return it and wait for the One X. I like the idea of having a raw android Google phone, but the One X seems attractive.
I think you should get an iphone.
iphone. helping computer illiteracy become popular since 2007.
I received my Nexus about a week ago. Within 5 minutes of turning it on I received the 4.02 OTA update. 10 minutes later I was rooted and running CM9 so I can't say if I would have received the 4.04 OTA update.

Then just wait for the OTAs.

There are already lots of spammy nerd bashing threads on this topic. No one can make this decision for you.
You have a few options....
1. Download Factory images for 4.0.4 from Google and use Galaxy Nexus Toolkit to flash (you will lose all your data and pictures, videos, music)
2. Root your phone (you'll still lose your data because you have to unlock your bootloader)
3. Wait for the 4.0.2 update than the 4.0.4 update
Your choice
When you get the HTC One X you gonna be saying how much you wish you had AOSP

Or when Android 5.0, "when will One X be getting Android 5.0?!"
Same Here
I guess were both on the same boat Except i am on Tmobile. As soon as i unboxed and setup my Gnex this past friday i was expecting an OTA update to 4.0.4. But appearantly that wasn't the case as i am still stuck on 4.0.1 two days later. I am really hoping i get that OTA soon...there is no way i am rooting ever again. My last phone which was a Samsung Vibrant had a custom ICS rom...everything was well until i was greeted by the deadly "Encryption Unsuccessful" screen not knowing what to do i hit reset phone. 1 min later my phones only use was as a door stop.
I know this may sound kind of silly but maybe we haven't received our updates because its the weekend . Im waiting till monday to see if i get the OTA update. Hopefully it arrives soon.

Most OTAs roll out in groups. Well at least from the last time I did a OTA .. I guess thats how they still work. Only so many users get them at a time. Not everyone who has a gnex get it at once

Now that I see other people having this problem, I think OTA updates for 100% stock Android 4.0.1 Samsung i9250 Galaxy Nexus are just not happening at all for now... (verbiage/garbiage deleted
As for my Nexus One(s)... (I'll just say I never saw this happen)
EDIT:
At about 8pm MDT (GMT-06:00) in the US, my i9250 finally updated from 4.0.2 to 4.0.4. I consider this an important validation of the integrity of my device. Earlier today I flashed 4.0.2 but still had to wait.
So clearly there was a period of days (March 30 to April 2 at least) that OTA updates where not happening for the i9250. This was alarming because I've rolled my i9250 back to 100% stock Android 4.0.1 several times after playing with different ROMs. Each time it quickly updated to 4.0.2. This time it took a few days. For a while I was worried my phone had a problem.
I just rolled back to a stock ROM 4 days ago.
But did only get 1 OTA update immediately after first boot. The one from ITL41D to ITL41F (4.0.1).
No OTA to 4.0.2 or even 4.0.4 yet. (All imgs are stock ITL41F with locked bootloader of course)
I'm new to the tablet game but have been rooting and installing custom roms on my Android phones for some time now. My question is will I automatically get the ICS OTA or do I have to downgrade to Gen 1. I'm currently running:
Android 3.2
Kernel 2.6.36.3
Build number Acer_A100_1.018.05_COM_GEN2
Any help is appreciated, thanks

Good question. I had a Gen 2 running 3.2 also, and I was NEVER able to get a single thing OTA.(no update from 12/11-4/12 then I gave up) I called Acer and they suggested I send my device in so they could update it. After a while I just started using the leaks. Cool device, well priced, but they are lame about firmware.
Also if you want to upgrade you can without going to Gen1. At least I did. I went from 3.2 Gen2 directly to ICS .012 then to FlexReaper which is now based on the current ICS
My a100 just went thru the gen2 and ICS upgrades in about a half hour...It's rooted but had the out of the box rom before this evening.

Yea some people have gotten them on Gen2. But Gen2 has always seemed to have issues getting updates. low priority maybe

I didn't do ROM flashing, the only thing I did is root. I haven't got OTA either. Anyone know what's happening?
I have gen2 3.2.1 and I haven't received mine either. I know that someone else who has the same version received his update already. So I don't know what's going on.

I own A100 from 11/11, I never got any OTA updates.. till date..
I thought ICS is the first OTA for A100 with 3.2......are there other updates I should hv gotten???
Mine is running 3.2.1 Acer_A100_2.008.03_PA_CA and all mine keeps saying is the system is up to date. Mine is also a gen2. I was running ICS leak .014 and went.back to HC.

It seems to be mostly GEN2 3.2 owners that are having the issue (perhaps from that monster Black Friday deal they had? That's when the wife got mine for me).
As a previous poster said, I got sick of never seeing updates, and started using the updates from here. I went to the RC03 ICS update last night after getting sick of waiting. I'll mess around a bit more with it this morning, and see if I can get it to OTA. Got a buncha stock ROMs downloaded, and a spare micro-SD that I don't mind formatting over and over. ;-)

Ok, downgraded from the RC03 ICS update to the baseline GEN1 that Vache posted. No OTA update, checking for updates resulted in "Poor Network coverage" (I'm in the room with my wireless router, browser/market work fine).
Then went up to 2.007.01 GEN2 update, same thing.
Now on 2.007.04 GEN1, and getting the same thing. Thinking i either borked the radio somehow, or that Acers update servers are down.

My A100 is exact same version as yours and I got it on black Friday too... i never got a single ota till date... can't believe the batch they sold on sale would hv issues or lower priority...
In Acer forums there are lot of folks with the same story... gen2, with 3.2 and got around black Friday sale... many of them gave up and went with leaked official version...
Some contacted Acer support and they were told Gen 2 with 3.2 is scheduled to get updates late Friday and it may go up this Mon/Tuesday.
As of now I get network error if I check for updates.. I guess Acer servers are either down or overwhelmed ....
I will wait till tuesday .. and take my chance with leaked officlal version... there a lots of helpful folks in xda... I guess I'll be fine...
Acer A100 OTA update error
I am also receiving the Poor Network coverage message and my router is located in the room with me as well so I thought there was something wrong with my internet connection so reset everything and still received the Poor Network coverage then started doing some digging and found this tread. I am on the ICS .14 leak. Thank you all for your post.
Why does it matter to get the OTA? Its the same ROM as the one in our dev section just install that.

This is for people who haven't already manually rooted/updated their phones.
If you did get the OTA update, I'd be interested in what city/state you got it. I'm wondering if it is regional, random or perhaps by SN or billing date.
Yeah, got it yesterday.
I had flashed back to stock 4.0.2 last night and didn't get it. I checked this morning and didn't get it. I re-rooted back into my twrp backup until the OTA is more heavily rolled out.
Nothing yet in Dallas. Had the phone since day 1.
Not yet. I bought the phone in late December, live in N. VA but spend more waking hours in Washington DC.

It was built at last month.
How could you have received it months ago?
Got the update a few hours ago by doing the "Framework Services" trick. Funny thing is, I did it about 20 times this morning with no luck. I was bored and figured, why not try it again, and this time it pulled the update on the first try. Downloaded/Rebooted/Installed with no issues.
Am noticing the signal bars are now switched so that it more resembles the other phones (showing 3G signal strength instead of LTE). Also, the phone is A LOT snappier, especially in menus and the app drawer. It wasn't bad before, but I could definitely tell there was a slight stutter when scrolling through the widgets menu before. That's completely gone now, and it scrolls smooth as butter. Doesn't really make too much of a usability difference in the long run, but it's still good to see Google interested in working out little kinks like that to improve UI responsiveness.
Haven't had a chance to make calls yet, so that's yet to be seen, although I haven't had any of the audio issues everyone else is having.
Glad we finally got this.
My phone has cm9, so I'm not worried. My wife's phone is stock, unrooted, and she has not received the update. We are just north of Atlanta, Georgia.
I too was able to force the update by clearing data on "Google services framework" and then mashing the check now button like no tomorrow...

Same here. Had to clear data twice but was prompted with an update right after the second clear.
I'm in SF, CA.
Had one this morning and accidentally hit accept. I was half asleep and went through its process, about 10 minutes, actually seemed like 5 and rebooted. Says 4.0.4 and I swear it said 4.0.1 before.
Only had this phone less than 2 weeks. Not sure what the update really did. Cant notice a difference.....which is good, because I was loving the experience thus far.

http://mobilesyrup.com/2013/01/14/s...bean-upgrade-will-bring-multi-window-support/
“Samsung Canada announced today the upcoming availability of the latest update for the GALAXY Note II smartphone, which offers Multi Window allowing users to interact with two separate applications simultaneously.
The OS update (Android 4.1.2) gives customers the ability to personalize and customize their smartphone experience and interact with two apps at the same time. Samsung Canada now allows GALAXY Note II customers to change app positions within the Multi Window in addition to having the capability of using Pop Up Video while using Multi Window.
Also, included in this software update is the inclusion of both simplified and traditional Chinese language support. Easily accessible from the device’s settings menu, the software can change the language for most menus and applications and also support handwriting of Chinese characters to be transposed into text.”

Finally they get around to it lol. The guesses as why Samsung Canada delayed though was because of those kernel exploit and possibly the sudden death brick bug as well. So even though they don't say so, hopefully the update includes those fixes.
UGH! My phone still hasn't gotten back from the service center though, dyeing without my Note II, on the upside though It should be returned to me with whatever is the latest firmware so hopefully I see it in the mail by the end of this week and it has the update on it >.<
I was going to do a system dump of whatever firmware they put on it to for others to have but might seem a moot point now if the update goes live to ppl next week. Unless the one I get is a beta build beyond what they release *fingers Crossed* hoping for the best Lol.
grr, i already rooted and now my phone can't recieve OTA updates without me flashing back to stock and wiping the phone. I hope Sammobile gets the new rom when its released so that i can update via ODIN. I noticed that they still don't have the new AT&T update...

It's not a huge difference... I mean, you're not going to milk an extra 2 hours out of it or anything, but that being said it doesn't seem to drain quite as fast (tested with a full charge cycle). Again, this is based off of a custom ROM (pretty much stock with the hubs removed since they don't seem to like modified ROM's anyway) using N7105XXDLL7 as a base with a modded Rogers CSC (provides APN settings, a couple of specific tweaks for the network, and the My Account app -- everything else was stripped out). It also seems to fix the issue where screen power saving mode wouldn't immediately turn off if you disabled power saving (animations were a bit sluggish).
As for the official update... we will have to wait and see.

LJ5 was a 4.1.1 build if I remember correctly, and this update is supposed to be 4.1.2.
So I got my phone back from the service center today. It only came loaded with 4.1.1 LJ5 sadly. For some reason the multi-window wouldn't even work either.
Even worse the service center damage my phone and left a gash on the bottom, and they didn't even replace the battery which was the problem in the first place... So now its back off to them to fix the damage they did, just ridiculous...
Hopefully the update coming out next week isn't an old LJ5 Release from an October build that would be insanely retarded.
Supposedly its to be a 4.1.2 release build from December. Here's hoping for it :/

Didn't look, was too busy being pissed at Samsung for the damage to my phone. So beyond the about section on my phone I didn't look at anything else.
I've already made a ticket with them, and its been sent off to them again. Wasn't thinking about other information or dumping files.
@Dazog
If its supposed to a 4.1.2 release it wont be an LJ(number or letter) release, the J in the firmware = October build, if its a December 4.1.2 release it will be an LL something release. A lot of the international Note II's released with LL4 so I'm expecting that one or an later build. Just half to wait and see >.<
