[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IvanDobskey:
I'm speaking for everyone not just myself. It's just frustrating knowing there is a fix yet the only people getting it seem to be on unaffected networks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enlli:
No - I got mine when I switched on this morning and I'm on O2 which is affected. I had the problem 6 or 7 times a day. So far so good.

What puzzles me is that (according to the O2 forum) others who got their phones at the same time have not even had a whiff of the update/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IvanDobskey:
Well im glad to hear someone on o2 has had the update and has had their problems fixed. Lets hope everyone else gets sorted soon too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bobbysixkiller:
Is there no other way to apply without wiping ?

On o2 handset with vodafone sim
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] xxyondoxx:
Just got the patch OTA, from a UK device in Australia on Optus.

For those Australians wondering if the patch is out for us.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Whyt_e:
restart phone and check for update gives access
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] naijishi:
same as everyone else whos got the update.mine just came this second and im on three so wasnt affected anyway. shame they could tell which batches were sent to which provider so the send out targeted updates atleast!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] braingravyuk:
Sigh Wish that was the case too, going to give it one more day after that I'll unlock the bootloader and patch that way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] burnduck:
i'm on vodafone and I am desperate to get this patch! I know it's not worth me getting pissed over samsung which is kinda famous for their less-than-satisfactory service but the roll-out process just irritates me!

Being the early adopter has a price to pay.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fpad77:
Yeah vodafone here too without the update. I'm trying to resist the urge to do it manually... shame on me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Skysurfer69:
Vodafone here and I can now happily say that my update came OTA at about midnight-ish UK time...

Jesus, that was a long, drawn out pain in the arse...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IvanDobskey:
How difficult is it to do manually for a newbie to this kind of stuff? Are there any good guides? I'm getting seriously hacked off with this unbelievably slow rollout process :mad:

If they insist on rolling out so slowly, they should have at least sent it to people on Voda and O2 as a priority :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Terrahawk104:
I'm in the UK on Vodafone with a factory unlocked phone, still no update for me yet. At work I'm ok connection wise so it hasn't been too inconvenient, but when I'm at home I'm mostly on a 2G connection and sometimes don't get one at all so at home it's a total pain. Absolutely love the device and ICS though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jeffreyng:
Hmm....I'm with optus as well, still hv no update on mine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Skysurfer69:
I was following another thread in this forum and a whole lot of us posted to say we'd received it all within a couple of hours. So they're either still doing it in batches or the delivery rate has picked up.

Sit tight, it'll get to you soon enough.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zipr0:
I finally got it, too. UK unlocked device on Sunrise Switzerland.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] WhiteHartMart:
Got mine at about 2am in UK.

Am on 3 so there was no rush. Hope all of you with O2, Vodafone etc get your updates asap - wish they could have prioritised you guys, particularly with launch day purchases :-)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] davej777:
I believe so.

Installing any update seems to reset permissions on the system bin folder, including the superuser program (su). You can just fastboot a recovery image, and flash the root update again.

The bootloader stays unlocked - you never have to do that again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rbs_uk:
Got mine 30 min ago - Handte +Vodafone UK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubiconjp:
UK i9250 imported to Texas... got the OTA notification about 8 hours ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IvanDobskey:
Still no sign of it here :(

They really ought to have prioritised O2 and Vodafone users! Either that or make available an alternative way of patching!

Not impressed :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] markyp1234:
No sign of the OTA here on Vodafone in the UK. I make it five days from the original 'in the coming week' announcement, so Monday's the deadline. I'm not sure I want another week with a non-phone phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cosimoss:
Still no sign from P4U + O2 launch day GN.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luapclark:
Or install super curios OTA root keeper app. It worked for me I kept root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] l1233799:
Still no sign :(

Clove + O2 UK (First shipment)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luapclark:
Oops my mistake it didn't work. The su apk is still there but it must have permissions changed.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tonnytech:
still waiting on tmobile but my nexus is network free :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] r3k0:
Got the update last night on O2, but im rooted so kinda hung on reboot.

any advice on how to get the update to work? lotta pages in this thread to read :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noobdeagle:
if your all still waiting i noticed this page http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html

was updated with the volume fix 4.0.1 (ITL41F)

if anyone is tired of waiting

does anyone know what device is 'panda board' ? its listed under binaries.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
First of all, why is your carrier special?

Secondly, unless your carrier intentionally get on the way, the roll out is not carrier specific. I got the update in a country where the device even won't be sold by carriers before next year (if at all).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enlli:
In the UK it is O2 and Vodafone customers that face the problem- so in that case one could argue for priority treatment as many of them literally have unusable phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FirstToTheLast:
Now i agree, this roll out is wrong. I would be slaughtered if i rolled out my app this way!

My suspicious mind wonders if this updatr is bigger than ee know and they are extremely nervous of things going wrong again!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] demeics:
everything is good after the update :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CJSnet:
Please detail the step by step process to restore root?

Quick video of 'fixed' phone

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iAzVkPMPCU

I've asked him if he could do the bootloader test
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
So true everyone. It does not matter where you are or what carrier you have. If your phone has internet access and your imei is up, you get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alexander T.:
Me too:)

It worth knowing if it's an OS-level fix only. Though earlier Paul has reported, that it is, indeed, but his fix was not an OTA, so, there's a little chance left, that it might have been fixed even in bootlader. Let's wait and see.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] deyanp:
I can't believe that nobody wants to check if the fix has an impact on the CPU! It takes 10 minutes, people!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IvanDobskey:
Exactly! My phone is pretty much unusable as a phone in 2G only areas :mad: If I don't get the patch soon it's going back!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bleets:
that's laughable when you bought the phone KNOWING there was a bug and with the news out that the patch will be rolled out "over the next week"...seriously...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Matcarroll:
Ffs! Hurry up! 15 days I have been waiting. New to android from apple and dont want to root. Shouldn't have to root either!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IvanDobskey:
I bought the phone having been promised mine was from a fixed batch actually :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bleets:
blame the retailer for that, not goosung
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IvanDobskey:
It still shouldnt be taking this length of time to roll out a critical patch that is only 1mb in size!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
I haven't gotten it either. I'm in the US though so I'm immune to the issue. I'm sure you'll get the patch soon and all this will be in the past.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] M2281088:
Before you Trolls decide to kick off. Read and except that this is only an opinion. I am not making any sweeping statements that I am claiming to be fact. If you feel I have made a mistake then by all means tell me but be respectful.

OK, please someone correct me if I am wrong but fom what I can see from this thread 3 and Orange users seem to have had the update on Monday/Tuesday. O2 users started seeing the update from Wednesday and the first Vodafone user I can see reporting they have received the OTA patch it was Midnight today.

It may be coinidence but it does look a little odd to me.

For those that care I invalidated my warrenty so my loverly new phone actually worked as intended. Thanks to the people who provided the links needed to do this. I do appreciate you.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IvanDobskey:
Finally got the patch just now. Hope everyone else affected gets sorted soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ShiroEd:
Just got mine now. :-)

Vodafone UK GN from Phones4U on the second day of release.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dcsworld:
just got mine too, O2 monthly, bought Sim free from O2 on 20th
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CJSnet:
Is there anywhere to download the 1MB patch directly? I got it OTA, rebooted to install, but it crashed and now the phone won't offer it to me again, even after a check for updates. I am still on build ITL41D not the new F.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GeekBoi:
I got mine. 6:02 pm CST. 6 days to get that update?! too long! Is it normal?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dumb donkey:
Yep just got mine too. Vodafone UK from phones4u
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] braingravyuk:
Wonder if this goes off amount spent on the market :rolleyes:

My mate just got the update but am still waiting :-/ my IMEI number was earlier than his too! (Not sure if they are sequential or not)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] burnduck:

It worked 100% for me. That's all I can comment on. The op didn't seem to have tried it, so it might also work for him.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cellzealot:
You are saying that without unlocking first you were able to install the zip from the sdcard partition in the stock recovery?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cosimoss:
Got mine last night (P4U + O2 17/11).
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] burnduck:
That's the thing, we are talking about update WITHOUT unlocking
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shodney:
I got bored of waiting and flashed the image myself from Google.

My phone was wiped from unlocking the bootloader, and now I have potentially lost my warranty (I know I can relock it again, but I don't know if the fact it was ever unlocked could potentially be traced), however I couldn't put up with the bug any longer.

I'm pretty pissed off that I have had the phone since launch day, suffered from the problem every day since, and yet have had to wait this long for the fix.

I can understand a slow roll out for normal updates in case of unforeseen issues, but something like this should have been dealt with quicker.

IMO, of course :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] r3k0:
It Worked ;)

but prob would of worked 1st time without renaming if i had of put me lcd density back to 320 1st :D ooopseydaisy

Thx anyway CJSnet
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blunden:
How about this then?

I just noticed that Google have the full image including radio and bootloader for this update up at code.google.com. In it you can find a xxxIMG.zip style version that should be flashable via fastboot without unlocking the bootloader.

https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/yakju-itl41f-factory-192e5c67.tgz

It will clear your /data though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] [hfm]:
Not sure why everyone keeps saying what county and carrier you are using, had nothing to do with it. Its solely based off an internet connection being available and your number is up in whatever algorithm they use. I've gotten plenty of updates in the past without a sim in my phone over wifi.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dumb donkey:
after waiting for the update to come through to mine it finally did last night... and today i went and rooted anyway! :D Now i am currently in the process of putting a custom ROM on.

This has to be done with a Nexus IMO :) as long as you keep an eye on XDA and don't mind flashing a new version manually now and then, most of the time you will have the updates on your phone before Google pushes them out to everyone, usually with more features too.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Alexander T.:
Just asked Dann054 (http://www.youtube.com/user/Dann054) to check if the bug still exists in bootloader, and here is the video clearly showing that it was only an Android fix:

http://youtu.be/8ohOBHQm17c

So, no way I'm buying this phone untill there is any new HW revision. With such an inadequate testing made by Samsung, there might be more underwater stones. I'm off till spring.:p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bleets:
so...guess you're never ever buying the phone then. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CJSnet:
You're welcome r3k0.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] declanh:
Been following this thread and don't think I've missed it, but apologies if I have.

Has anyone tested the cpu usage for spikes post volume bug fix ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noobdeagle:
tbh i reckon testing would reveal lower cpu usage as a ui element is not spazzing out, it would take less power to filter a key press than it would to render a constantly changing ui element
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MatthewPL:
Would? Sorry but question is about how high CPU usage is. If it is still (much) higher than normal there is something wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noobdeagle:
well when the bug is occurring i grantee it would be LOWER, but at idle who knows unless someone actually checks but IMO it would be transparent, keys and presses are being monitored already adding a delay to the time it takes to recognize a key press wouldn't be visible to the end user.

when mine arrives later today ill test it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] declanh:
I tend to agree, but would be keen to know if its a smaller spike or no discernable spike. I suppose the underlying concern is that it might make the phone sluggish while suppressing interference or affect battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] burnduck:
i'd love to test it out but i'm yet to get an OTA :(:mad:

Got the update as well, got the phone from Phones4U in UK, using it on GiffGaff.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mnexusaud:
Hi

This may be a noob question but is it possible to download the update that corrects the 2G problem from the internet and install it onto the phone itself as my phone isn't connected to the internet and has no plan at the moment to receive updates. Can I download and install it from someone on the net?

If so any links/help to this would be greatly appreciated. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gambiting:
Yes it is possible but you would need to unlock the bootloader and install the ClockworkMod recovery to flash it yourself. Unless I am wrong and it can be done without the clockwork mod, in which case please correct me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mnexusaud:
Thanks for the reply so quick; maybe someone else has extra input. I've got the phone on the charger right now, unsure if it's finished charging (the battery image seems full but there isn't anything saying 'fulling charged' like there is on the GS2). Once I'm happy its charged I'll look into what you are saying thank you.:)

Edit: looked at the phone, the picture of a white battery is on the screen with no text. Will it tell me if the phone is fully charged/change colour at all? This is my first smartphone (came from a Samsung FT480) and it looks different to the Galaxy S2 charge screen - don't want to overcharge the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cjeremy:
when will the new hardware come out? like in a month? 2?

i wanted to wait but i really really want this phone... can't wait longer than 2 weeks... sigh...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FISKER_Q:
Is it really that important to not have the issue in the bootloader?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 83mck:
I'd also like to know how to tell if the phone is charged fully. Does it actually say fully charged? So far my phone just has the image of a battery in the center of the screen which is completely colored in white. Is this supposed to turn green or something? How do we know?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mnexusaud:
Guys

I have checked the settings after apparently updating my phone and it says the following:

Android Version: 4.0.1

Baseband Version: I9250XXKK1

Kernel Version: 3.0.1-ga052f63

Build Number: ITL41F

How do I know if the 2G volume problem has been fixed? I'm on 3G right now. Is it supposed to say 4.0.2? I can't read through the thread properly where I am right now.

EDIT: I've read that if your phone states in the settings "Build Number: ITL41F" the phone IS fixed and there is NO 2G volume problems. Is this correct? It seems so simple.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] noobdeagle:
excellent out of the box update available straight away :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cellzealot:
Glad to see most of you finding the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow finally! ;)

I think anyone concerned about the nature of the problem and questioning whether the fix is "just a patch" is misunderstanding the issue. The debounce time was never there to begin with and was an oversight due to not having tested properly for 900mhz EMI. It should have been and would have been written into any build for this device had they done the field testing right, thus never being apparent to the end user. The fact that it occurs in bootloader mode is basically unimportant and the likelyhood of there ever being a hardware revision to deal with this specific issue is remote, IMO.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] enlli:
That's right ITL41D Unfixed ITL41F Fixed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
are you serious? look at my post directly above yours.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nickelsilver:
I'm in italy and looking forward to buying it.

But here there is the 2g at 900mhz beside the 3g connection, as the rest of europe so i assume it will have the same problem, am i right?

Thanks...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 318vert:
Ive made phones4u aware using there online live chat, i sent them links to Engadget and this forum and they passed it on to there line manager as they have not been contacted by Samsung about any issue.

All i can say is contact your support and let them know.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] escrivel:
So why are there people outside without the fault?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
read this post, particularly the second part that talks about networks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] her0n:
If there's been no word on this from Samsung or Google by Friday 1st Dec, i'll be down the o2 shop to swap it for an HTC Sensation XE under their 14 day swap policy :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Oh ok, it's your assumption (or thought):

" ... this is

looking more and more like

a hardware related issue rather than it being software. ..."

So, it is still not official.

Please don't scare people :)

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Those who ordered from Clove should ask them here in the comments to test the phone before dispatch. There's no point for Clove to dispatch phones that will be recalled and returned to begin with, especially if you are an international customer and it will be quite a hassle.

http://blog.clove.co.uk/2011/11/21/...tock-arriving-today-begins-shipping-tomorrow/

We need to find out if this issue also exists on these unlocked phones that were just delivered to sellers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Duddyroar:
Nothing yet.

---------- Post added at 02:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:05 PM ----------

My review is now live at CNET UK.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Phrive:
Just spoke with Phones4U, there are collecting information to give to Samsung, I was adviced to factory reset (which I did to root it) and also replacement. Don't see the point replacing it just yet, and as long as you have logged it then you are covered until it is fixed. Whether it be hardware or software, so I would advice speaking to whoever you got it from so they can help with sorting this out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oscillik:
check my log file, line 28 onwards

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Cheers! First review that mentions the problem, great work. Hopefully first of many.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TonyHoyle:
Indeed.. means it's detectable, so probably fixable/ignorable in the driver.

It's not particularly unusual to work around hardware defects in the drivers - it's a lot cheaper than trashing a few million dollars worth of electronics :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] justabrake:
LOL Steve Jobs said he'd spend apples 80 billion to destroy android and he's doing it from under without it :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Duddyroar:
Just got a reply back from Samsung UK. They're fully aware of the issue and are looking into it. Naturally this kind of thing is going to take time to solve, so I wouldn't go expecting a fix within the next few days. But at least Samsung have acknowledged the issue (well, one of their tech support guys has, anyway) so that's positive.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] her0n:
Great news. Do they know the cause? Did he sound confident in being able to resolve it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Duddyroar:
He just said they were looking into it, I guess it's too early to say at this stage.

I'll let you know if I hear any different.
