[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EVOXGSR:
That's exactly what I was predicting too. GSM was on 4.0.1 for the longest time and now all the phones are on the same version and would only be appropriate to launch 4.0.3 in unison.

I sure hope this is the case!! After hearing all the stuff about 4.0.3, I'm really excited to unleash more potential of ICS and GNex!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EddyOS:
Might even be 4.0.4 seeing as the Nexus S has had issues with 4.0.3 - who knows
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] juniorbattle:
One cool feature I've noticed is the "improve face recognition" feature. I am yet to test it though.

Another thing, but I'd need your opinions on that, do you have the feeling that they fixed blacks on low brightness? Check the settings, for me it now looks less washed out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hurston2510:
I've tried to improve it, growing my tash a little and wearing my glasses even wearing a cap seems to work!. Done it in sunlight, dark room.

I never use the feature myself as I prefer the pattern unlock. But it does seem more stable after the improve feature.

I've noticed that wifi is even better! And outside HSDPA is better on my GSM Nexus. The task switcher button thing is more responsive and quicker to switch as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tk123456789:
I got the 4.0.2 update last night, and yes it is ICL53F. The battery life has improved dramatically! Over a 7 hour period of sleep I lost only 3%. In the past that same time period would have depleted my battery close to 10%. Overall I do notice some lag, but battery takes precedence for me. I just checked my CPU Spy stats and I was in deep sleep 96%, whereas in the past I would have only been in deep sleep around 86% for the same time period. And I didn't have the battery bug before either. Or maybe I did???
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
The lag is not too bad on 4.0.2, but it is really bad on keyboard since it is very noticable. Keyboard highlights appear little bit too late, if you're a fast typer it can easily throw you off.

I also noticed that volume on 4.0.2 on my Galaxy Nexus is slightly louder.

I hope 4.0.3 fixes the lag, it bothers me at the moment quite a bit during chatting.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jackie_jagger:
I'm using swype and I don't face any lag as such, perhaps give another keyboard a try?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Guto ViP:
No lag here with 4.0.2. All are fine. Now just waiting for next OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] isitalex:
Same here, battery life is a definite improvement when in sleep, didn't think I had a battery issue before either but its definitely better now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ranova:
anyway to disable the notification to update?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bmolloy:
I received 4.0.2 yesterday around 1200 pacific. I have read the whole thread and can't really find a list of the "bug fixes" that were included. Aside from the intangibles (Like the lag) lets try to put together a change log.

Here is Verizon's change log for the Verizon 4.0.2 update, I am sure the GSM is pretty similar.

Here is the above change log summarized:

Optimized Mobile Hotspot when used with VPN.

Optimized 3G/4G data sessions for faster response times.

Fixed an incorrect notification that “data was disconnected due to roaming”.

Wi-Fi now automatically reconnects when returning to a known Access Point.

Improvements to special visual effects feature when using front-facing camcorder.

Visual improvements to the lock screen.

Email & messaging

Fixed an issue where some email attachments would not open correctly.

Apps & Widgets

DivX support has been removed, and will be supported in a future upgrade.

Improved audio volume in Google navigation turn-by-turn directions.

Something I have not seen here yet is in the wifi settings:

wifi advanced settings have changed, the "avoid bad connections" option is gone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ilama:
Not all the Galaxy Nexus phones are on the same version due to how fragmented Google let the update system become, those of us with yakjuxw are still waiting for 4.0.2 updates to start.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sharper4:
I got the 4.0.2 upgrade last week when I bought the phone. It came within minutes of first enabling the device. But I thought 4.0.3 was supposed to be on the way.

Edit: I see that GSM devices didn't get it as quick as CDMA models. I probably got it b/c I activated with Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] solidrip:
received 4.0.2 this morning (austria).

from what i can say now the appdrawer is laggy and wifi performance has slightly decreased.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virtualcertainty:
It is not fragmented. It is just a normal staggered software update rollout just like the Nexus S. Nothing new here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] denpad2010:
i just bought mine yesterday,USA with verizon,i received the OTA immediately anyway so far phone is greta but battery life sucks, however my question is is there any root method with this ota 4.0.2 thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ksc6000:
Im on GSM and i have been getting great battery life until now that im on 4.0.2. Its going down noticeably faster especially when actually interacting with the screen. And its stuttery as everyone is noticing. If youre on 4.0.1 and have great battery life, and dont want stuttering animations, dont "upgrade". Now im gonna have to unlock and root just to get back what i had. What a shame
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] solidrip:
agree, battery drains faster now.

fyi: i used ota rootkeeper to restore root and it worked just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
So is it only people who rooted or unlocked their phones who are having the issues? I was stock and with the exception of the widget drawer stutter, my phone is better in every possible way.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ilama:
So the fact that nobody with a yakjuxw build, has received a 4.0.2 update; yakjuxw is not built, maintained, or updated by Google, and that yakjuxw just a few weeks ago got the volume bug fix, is not a sign of fragmentation but is just a staggered release? Those facts don't point to staggered release of updates to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ksc6000:
No, I was completely stock. Now I'm going to have to unlock and do the whole CMW recovery and crap to get back to 4.0.1...and I was so done with all that since the Nexus one...I'm pretty pissed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CraigP17:
I received 4.0.2 ota yesterday. I have all vibration turned off from screen. Maybe that's why
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] danielvc:
Couldn't wait anymore and installed stock 4.0.2, but after some speed issues I decided to flash a custom rom. Hope 4.0.3 fixes this.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virtualcertainty:
I see speculation and conspiracy theory, not facts. So what if Google does the first batch and contracts out the regional releases to its partner? Being dropped on a different server doesn't make it non-Google. And I knew non yakju owners that had the volume fix while yakju users were still clicking 'check for updates' every half hour. So you wait a week and get the same thing, not the end of the world.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
To add to your point: even the non-yakju OTA updates are pushed out from Google's servers -- see links below for the update from 4.0 to 4.01:

yakju: http://android.clients.google.com/p....signed-yakju-ITL41F-from-ITL41D.11bbbccb.zip

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] panathinaikos13:
I received my replacement phone on Thursday because my first one had a big problem charging. I have to say the replacement phone is absolutely awesome. I'm going on 2 days battery life it has great signal everything is going excellent. But anyways...

I have yakju. I received 4.02 on Thursday after 5-10 minutes of using it. I'm liking it so far.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] got_milk:
Please don't continue to spread this misinformation. It's been noted many times before that regardless of the device the updates are coming straight from Google.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sgs064:
I noticed while taking photos the camera doesn't auto focus when you hold down the blue button. Is this the same for everyone who got 4.0.2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nMIK-3:
After using for almost two days the 4.0.2 update I can note the following.

1. Signal is much more improved. Is mostly on "H" now, (before used to switch between 3G and H repeatedly). No signal drops either so far. I used to get randomly signal drops with 4.0.1F (I am on T-Mobile USA)

2. Tabs on web-browser are not reloading themselves once you exit the browser or multitasking. Thank God that was really annoying for me.

3. Screen rotation is by far improved

4. I am impress with the battery life improvements. I used to get excellent battery life with 4.0.1F too but now is even better.

5. I do not have any significant or noticeable lag with 4.0.2 however I noticed stock apps like the browser are not as smooth on scrolling as with 4.0.1. But again this issue is been solved with the 4.0.3 according to many reports here.

6. Small improvements to the camera auto-focus and picture quality. Overall still a very bad camera for such a high-end device. Most of the pictures are hit or miss, either perfectly good or really bad.

Overall I am very happy with the update so far.

Also not related with the 4.0.2 update but I also fixed the other annoying issue of receiving low resolution MMS without any modification on the Galaxy Nexus.

None of these are facts. You might want to familiarise yourself with the meaning of the word.

yup. amazing battery life for my usage.

i'm going 10 hrs 15 min with 58% remaining.

i'm starting to wonder if i need the extended battery pack. lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] todders:
I initially became impatient whilst waiting for the 4.02 update so flashed the factory image from Google. I then read there were some minor differences with the ota update as in file size. I decided to reflash back to stock 4.01 and let the ota install automatically. I now have noticed that the phone now charges to 100% instead of 99% whilst on the mains I didn't have that with the original 4.02 factory image.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] scott2121210:
I also noticed this but I am still by far not impressed with the quality of the camera so I have replaced it with QuickSnap which is superior to the stock camera!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Markomaani:
OTA failed to install

I recieved the ota here in Finland yesterday but after installing it, it gave me the red triangle with ! sign.

Well tried to update it with the CWM then without the recovery folder but it failed too and said that error happened in the file apache-xml.jar.p.

I should be using the stock ROM because haven't used any ROM yet just reflashed the stock because it got jacked.

I could flash the OTA without the apache-xml.jar.p file but I'm scared it will "brick" the phone once again. Oh and it also gives the "Status 7" error.

Anyone got any ideas why the update wont install?

Any help would be appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
It's been noted several times in this thread that OTA fails with CWM installed. Either flash back to stock recovery or search for the workarounds detailed elsewhere on this forum.

Thank you for quick response but the stock recovery gives error on the same apache.xml

Any hints about the other workarounds. I don't want to reset my phone totally. I just want the OTA update.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Delarock:
Hallo i got a same problem.

I was rooted custom rom with CWM.

Flashed stock recovery ,stock rom a relocked bootloader.

Than booted and a i received ota update to 4.0.2. So i accepted and then rebooted to recovery. I got a triangle.If you press power button + volume up and down together, recovery menu will appear.but update failed...

Whats problem? Somewhere i red that cwm change some system file. Any info pls ?

MY error is failed to verify whole file signature. I used to have CWM but now i have stock recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] luffyp:
Did you delete or rename the file recovery-from-boot.p in /system folder? If you still have cwm installed, most likely you will have done it to avoid the system restoring stock recovery. Try to put the file back or name it back to recovery-from-boot.p and try again.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Delarock:
SOLVED!:

once again rooted and instaled CWM that booted into CWM done all wipes and wipe /system.

Than i got into bootloader and flashed stock image plus oem lock.

At the end flashed stock yakju rom. I get notification updated and no problem with installing.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NIK516:
If you did not have any problems on 4.0.1 don't update to 4.0.2 its so laggy very frustrating .

Up to you but I'm just saying nothing special about this update
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonathan3579:
I disagree. There's more to gain from updating. You seem to be part of a small group who are unhappy with the update. Was it perfect? No. But it is an overall improvement over 4.0.1 for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
Are you sure it's not a corrupted download? Try redownloading the update and seeing if it works then.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] julianwong22:
I'm running 4.0.1 with the Bell version of the phone. Still haven't received the update.

Tried restarting the phone. No luck.

Anyone else in the same boat? Have most received the update?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No one with a yakjuux build (which is the North American build that Bell, Virgin, Rogers, Telus and Fido have) has received it. Actually, I don't think anyone who has ANY build other than yakju has received it.

As I said in other posts, if the past is anything to judge by, the non-yakju builds will receive the update 1-2 weeks after the yakju builds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
This disappoints me a lot. I intentionally purchased the Galaxy Nexus in order to get quick updates for the next few years, but now I'm learning that only certain builds get updates from google.

So, does is mean we have to always wait for Bell to push these updates and assume they won't support it after a year, even though google will still be pushing updates out well beyond that?

Yeah, I can put the yakju build on this, but I don't feel like voiding the warranty on a brand new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No one really knows who updates the builds. At this point it is all speculation. All updates for all builds are pushed from Google's servers - this we know. No one knows for sure who updates the builds.

How do you know what voids the warranty? Have you read the warranty for the Galaxy Nexus sold in Canada? (I've attached it for you.) Just wondering where it says that putting a stock build of the Android OS will void the warranty.

EDIT: As well, keep in mind that if you do use the warranty, it is valid only for 1 year, and you will likely get a refurbished device as a replacement. No thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] julianwong22:
Thanks for the responses guys.

I have to say, it's pretty lousy that we have to wait 1-2 weeks for updates. I know I'm being impatient, but it just pains me to know others have received the update. This is the reason why I got the Nexus phone in the first place.

=S
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Yeah, it is lousy. But if you are that impatient, why don't you flash the 4.0.2 yakju build from here? I flashed it weeks ago and, as a result, I had 4.0.2 well before even the first OTA was push out to the yakju 4.0.1 builds...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wessonster:
I bought a galaxy nexus from newegg and checked the version to be Yakjuzs. It loads an Asian language by default when the phone is switched on for the first time I still have the 4.0.1 Basebad Version - I9250XXKK1 Build Number - ITL41F.I9250ZSKKB

Has anybody with similar specifications received the 4.0.2 update? I do the *#*#2432546#*#* several times a day but no luck!

I'm currently using the phone only on WiFi and without a SIM card.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
If you look at the warranty section under "what's not covered ", it states in point "H" that any "other software problems introduced into the product. " This would include roms not provided explicitly by samsung.

While I don't agree with a manufacturer telling someone that they won't fix a button because of software they put on the phone, it is at their discretion and nobody wants to take samsung to court over a phone repair.

Of course, putting a Google stock rom might be a different story. Has anyone asked Samsung about that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
But given that you can always flash back the ROM that came with your device, how will they ever know?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fortysixandtwo:
Hi efrant, quick question....now that I've finally updated to 4.0.2 using your simple instructions (thank you); will the fact that my boot loader is unlocked impact my ability to receive OTA updates from Google? I realize this might be a noob question but just want to ensure I get the next release once available. Do you recommend locking the boot loader or leaving as is?

Much appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Shieze:
Having an unlocked bootloader will not negatively affect you receiving the OTA. I unlocked my bootloader and went from yakjuux to yakju 4.0.1 then received the OTA.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fortysixandtwo:
Thanks again ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EP2008:
I guess you've never had to send back a device with a broken screen or broken USB port... no way to flash back or unroot. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Come on now. Seriously you don't think they would deny a broken screen claim because the phone had been unlocked or rooted?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Milamber33:
If a warranty is voided, it's voided. I can see them knocking back a claim, even for something completely unrelated to what voided the warranty.

Still, if the screen's broken but the phone still turns on, use fastboot to flash back to stock. And if the USB port dies, use rom manager/clockwork mod to flash back to stock. Not sure if there's any way to relock the bootloader without USB, but not all devices came locked anyway. Mine didn't.

I had ZSKKB on mine, got sick of waiting and flashed the official 4.01 image from Google. Rebooted, prompted for the update right away. I'm a happy camper.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ErGo_404:
In my country the software warranty and the hardware warranty are two separate things (one if for a service, the other one for a product !). If you void one it doesn't mean that the other one is voided as well.

Lucky you! Sounds like someone responsible for the laws in your country at some point had a brain! :P

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] hlaalu:
This is good to know. How about being rooted? will that affect the OTA process?

Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No, having root will not affect anything related to the OTA process.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] k_myk:
If you only rooted your device and didn't change anything it you will still get OTA and will be able to apply it. When you change something in the os with su privileges you will get OTA notification too, but you won't be able to install it, because of differences in your system; this includes custom recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slight22:
please forgive the dumb question.

http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html

If I donwload this on my phone directly can I run the update on the phone or will that mess my phone up, will it even work?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
But you will lose root after the OTA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
No you cannot download it to your phone. See links in my signature for how to flash a stock ROM, or how to update a stock ROM - they are two different things.

Indeed you will. :) However, the point is kinda moot given that with an unlocked bootloader, gaining root is just either flashing 1 zip file, or copying 2 files to your /system partition, no?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Yes, that is all that is needed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
Lol, I was actually asking if you thought that the point was moot? Not for confirmation on how to root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NCguy:
Yup. Guess its moot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jonnyg1097:
probably a dumb question but do I have to unlock the bootloaders to get root?

The problem is, that if you don't post the update URL or at least the name of the update, it is essentially useless to most people. That's why those who receive the updates first, need to grab the link, so that everyone else can have the OTA at the same time.
