Hello there. I am new user of galaxy nexus, I got android 4.2.1 . and I got heavy lags, I think this is TRIM problem, and I saw 4.3 solved this problem. But my phone won't update. Always says that system is up to date (Clearing data in Google services framework won't help). So I can't find exactly way to update my phone. And another question why there is no factory image for 4.2.1 even if I using it? Maybe that's a bug that I updated to 4.2.1 and the reason why I can't update to 4.3.
Maybe your build is yakjuxw.

If I will install takju replace yakjuwx, will my phone work properly, and will it work with Ukrainian GSM carriers?
Why wouldn't it?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus
I thought takju were designed for USA, and will not work out-USA. On your opinion is it fine to install it instead yakjuwx?
Have you read the threads regarding the conversion?
The only difference is the inclusion of Google wallet. Nothing about it would cause it not to work outside the US.
If takju didn't work outside the US, there wouldn't be so many people using it or recommending it. Just go do your own research. The answers are out there for you to read.

Thanks for reply. I am just newbie in android system, and i worrying to loose waranty and kill phone. So its better to ask then try
Sorry for annoying
Its a hard phone to kill. You can always reload stock and relock the boot loader. People worry too much about this. When you have a nexus you shouldn't worry so much about modifying it.

Hi,
I live in Canada and have my GN with Bell. I've been stuck on 4.0.1 since I got the phone; no updates were ever available.
Recently, I had to get my phone repaired and gave it in to the Samsung place here and when I got it back, it was updated to 4.1.1 (I attached a pic of the info)
I just wanted to ask you guys if all the info there looks good/correct. Also, not really sure how the tech managed to update it since nothing was ever available...
On another note, I was wondering if any of you could direct me to rooting methods (preferably on mac) / ways to change to yakju (also preferably on mac) on the version of the phone I have now... I searched and saw a bunch of different methods and whatnot, but I'm terrified to choose a potentially "wrong" one.
Thanks!
they must have updated it using Odin. is the IMEI the same or a different phone
I don't think I've ever seen that baseband before. I wonder if Samsung is actually close to releasing something for the Candian yakjuxx variant.

Before you change to yakju, would you mind dumping your radio, bootloader and ROM please? You have a new radio, so I'm sure lots of folks would like to try it out. And I'm sure lots of Canadians would like to try out your ROM as well.
I can post instructions later tonight.

Considering un-rooting and re-locking my GSM GN to sell it. I found this guide I am planning on using. Are there any problems anyone has encountered in returning their GN to stock I should be aware of? Thanks.
Gnex was made to unlock, relock, root, etc. I used Wug Toolkit many times without issues. You can find it on the Nexus 7 Android Development.

Allow me to assuage your emotional reactions:
1. I did read that thread. Read a lot of it, actually, and all I saw was a whole lot of "will this void my warranty?" "followed the steps and phone is bricked" "how I get drivers working" posts, often by people with post counts of around 4. There are 1,318 replies to that thread. Figure it out.
2. I searched, and there are no threads specifically discussing problems/complications from returning to stock in the GN board.
A lot of threads on XDA are going to be similar in nature. I felt I had pretty good reason to start a new thread. There's no reason to get upset over it, kids -- settle down.
So, has the title says.
Questions:
- Google Now (the thing like Siri ) is on portuguese (because that's where I live) but I wanted it to have those cards in english like when you ask "What's the weather today?" and it will show you right there the answer on a card. On my device, it just does a Google search (I changed the language on Google Now to english but still doesn't work).
- I did a benchmark with Antutu and I got some weird info here. The system info tab says that my resolution is 720x1184, shouldn't it be 720x1280 or is it relative or anything. Also my score is 7982. Isn't that above normal on a Galaxy Nexus? :silly:
- I got the update to 4.1.1 but not to 4.2 (OTA). Can anybody explain me why?
- Is the XDA case for the Nexus good??? (nah, just kidding , but I iwll buy it )
Thanks for reading,
mfsr98
The Navbar is the missing pixels for the resolution.
Your device isn't a Google supported nexus build. You'll have to follow one of the Takju/Yakju guides.
Oh, but the default nexus benchmark has the full resolution...

you will get updates eventually... but they are through samsung, not google.
if you want updates directly from google, you need to flash the factory yakju or takju images, there are several guides on this.

This might seem like an odd request. I searched google and xda with no luck so I apologize if this is covered somewhere already. A point in the right direction is appreciated.
I got my gnex used on ebay right before 4.2.2 got pushed. I got the update and everything is working well, except for a few hiccups. I would like to flash the stock 4.2.2 image without unlocking the boot loader, or rooting if possible, but I am certainly not opposed to it. What is the best way?

by definition you cannot flash things without unlocking your bootloader. Unlocking will factory reset your phone, so be sure.

Use the GNex toolkit. If the one in the stick doesn't yet for 4.2.2, make a donation to the developer and get a key to update it easily. Apply the update and you can do what you want.

You do not need to Donate to use the GNex toolkit, It just adds an auto update function. I don't consider the unlock/root/flash scripts to be lazy, just convenient. With a kid in the house and another on the way I don't have much time to sit at a computer and hack away at my phone. If I need something done and it can be done with a few clicks, that's great, as long as you understand whats being done and how it works. I haven't used adb much since I moved from my OG droid, but I do know how to use it.
