Updated my phone to 4.0.4 def. faster and battery life seems slightly improved. Still having issues with 3g/4g dropping out altogether and the only solution is to reboot the phone. Any ideas about that? Other than that i like what they are doing.

edit: before I rebooted the phone the signal status was at -93dBm 4asu and no 3g/4g which i thought was weird
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Kylem:
Retract that. I had to re-root no matter the root keeper settings. Had to uninstall it to actually root.

Everything is working well.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nybadboy11:
I'm very new at this I don't even know how to put my phone into fast boot mode is there any way you can private me and give me a detailed step by step list on how to do this ? I would greatly appreciate it if you have the time thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] solloron1:
If your phone is off hold the volume up and down rocker and the power button.

If it is connected to adb already type (without quotes) "adb reboot bootloader"

If I am wrong please correct me.

Error installing 4.0.4

Hey im kinda new to this but i managed to get the toolkit working. My phone is rooted and unlocked. but when i try to install 4.0.4 it throws back an error saying "Assert failed: Apply_Patch_check" followed by a whole bunch of gibberish. i know its not the package as many of you have installed it successfully. any help would be appreciated. I am using the Galaxy Nexus 4.0.2 on Verizon
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] G0belet:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/0...-to-start-rolling-out-tomorrow-february-16th/

So still no news about an update for the GSM build? The Nexus S gets it but still not GSM phones? I don't want to sound like a spoiled brat (but I most likely will), but I paid 600 EUR for this phone thinking it would get updates first...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Scottatron:
I can't help but agree, this is the first time a flagship Nexus has fallen behind (AFAIK) - ie the N1 was always at the forefront for updates.

Perhaps there are issues with 4.0.4 and the GSM radio or something?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] EggoEspada:
I would hope all Nexus devices would receive this update sometime this week. I have a feeling though that most will be updated to 4.0.4.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FlipFlops24/7:
Barnacle is not working for me either. It's saying I don't have root but I do. Titanium Backup and Root explorer work perfectly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Yes, this is insane. And I paid just as much for my Transformer Prime and I already have a newer version of Android on that device than I have on Galaxy Nexus.

The main reason why I got a Nexus was to get official updates at least for a year before other phones. But Google is seriously neglecting Galaxy Nexus, I don't even remember last time Google mentioned Galaxy Nexus in their G+ updates or blog.

I don't want to root my phone and start pushing custom ROM's that invalidate my warranty, I want to stay on the official lane of updates and seeing so many devices getting newer versions of Android makes me disappointed with how Google is handling Galaxy Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FlipFlops24/7:
Hopefully someone can quickly help me. I went from stock 4.0.2 to this 4.0.4 without wiping. I had root on 4.0.2 and installed Titanium Backup, Root Explorer and Light Flow which all require root. Those worked great on 4.0.2 and they still work on 4.0.4. For some reason any app that I've installed since flashing 4.0.4 which requires root does not work. I've re-rooted and no luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Drift spunk:
So only for cdma? Has anyone tried with gsm?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matteventu:
Someone can confirm that USB-storage (pen drive, hard disk...) is not still supported in the stock 4.0.4 ??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MoosDiagramm:
If you mean whether the Galaxy Nexus is recognized as a USB mass storage device the answer is no. It will never be supported because the Galaxy Nexus doesn't have a dedicated SD partition anymore. A protocol like MTP is required to simulate the SD partition.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matteventu:
I know this ;)

I was talking about the USB On The Go support for mass-storage devices :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] az_r2d1:
You need a different Su.zip

I had the same thing. Wugfresh helped me out with a newer version and all works ok again. e is abotu to release version 1.4 which will have the newer version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dcdevito:
'More' Menu in Settings Locks Up

After installing 4.0.4 2x - the 'More' menu in Settings cannot be accessed - not right away, after anywhere from 1-12 hours of initial use after the install. Very weird. This causes the Settings 'app' to crash.

what's even stranger is that it still happens even after I restore backups from ROM Manager.

Anyone else having similar issues?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
I'm not on 4.0.4 yet due to it not being released yet for my phone, but this sounds very unlikely and would be a serious bug, since More menu has options for airplane mode, tethering hotspots and VPN and NFC, as well as WiFI direct and Mobile networks menu. If this didn't work for users, I think we would have heard about it already?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Yeah 'More' works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FlipFlops24/7:
Thanks this was the problem. With so many SU.zips floating around on the web (and on my desktop) I wasn't using the newly released one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dcdevito:
I figured it out - it's Google Wallet. I noticed it gets stuck at the initializing device screen, at the same time the More menu doesn't work.

When I uninstall GWallet the More menu works fine. I did it 7x last night, same results every time.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] marcomsousa:
The bug of "all-days events don't show in the Calendar Widget", is fixed in the >= 4.0.3.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FlipFlops24/7:
What is the "2x" Version of 4.0.4? I've installed the one that was linked on the first post of this thread but never saw anything about another version. Any further info is appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
2x == two times.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] farangutan:
I'm noticing a problem with my news and weather widget. I can get the news side working, and the weather does find my location and give a forecast. However, if I click the weather to see the rain chance/temps, it force closes. I tried clearing data and reinstalling widget. This is quick and works great for us bikers.

I apologize if this has been already discussed, I tried searching but didn't find a solution. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matteventu:
Is there official USB pen-drive and hard disk support in 4.0.4 ??
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nikos_s3:
try settings-->developers options-->Force GPU rendering (uncheck)...

known bug :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] farangutan:
Thanks, that did the trick.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Lw00d:

Where did you get this newer version of su.zip, I'm having the same problem. Thanks!

*update* I think I found it
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jpinsl:
What was the solution? Someone else may have the same problem...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bullhonkie:
No issues with Light Flow here, working the same as it did in 4.0.2. I'm using the free version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] akaashprasad:
Hi everyone,

First time poster and first time rooting any phone!

So I just unlocked and rooted my Galaxy Nexus. I want to run 4.0.4, but I can't seem to figure out how to. I've downloaded the file posted in the 1st post and moved it to the SD card on the GNex. When I reboot into CWM and choose this file and apply it, I get an error saying:

E:Can't open /sdcard/Music/update.zip

(bad)

Installation aborted.

Any help would be much appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bluemoon1221:
it works fine for me.

I would check under accessibility and see if its turned on or off.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jpinsl:
LightFlow runs fine under stock (unrooted) 4.0.4 for me. Check that it's enabled under Accessibility setting and that "Pulse notification light" is checked under Display.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dcdevito:
Thanks - I figured it out. I needed an updated su.zip
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] iDesire hTC:
Hi everyone.

I'm using CDMA Nexus in Japan. They are quite behind in updates, just now got the first update prompt since I've owned it. It doesn't say what version it is but the file name is

94ec403ff247.update_yakjusc_ITL41D_to_ICL53F.zip

anyway, not sure what version that is but I couldn't install it for some reason. My Nexus is unlocked and rooted with CWM. OTA auto install didn't work and installing through CWM was no good.

I decided to just get the 4.0.4 update from XDA but my question is, will it americanize my phone? I mean, will I lose my Japanese keyboard and other Japanese stuff I have on it? I know I would if it was a ROM, but I just wasn't sure about the update.

thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] s2d4:
easy, do a nandroid backup, then try it and see for yourelf.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] a1exus:
i really thinking to go to 4.0.4 or pretty much anything higher then stock 4.0.2, but I just want to know following before I do so...

what's the rollback proceedure?

can it be root after that?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matteventu:
up :D

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mduran1023:
I'm not sure about the root procedure, but you can definitely roll back.

I just rolled back to 4.0.2 from 4.0.4 using the WugFresh root toolkit. Very easy to do, just click a button and follow the prompts.

Google search the name and you'll find the website for the toolkit.

+100!!! (+The message you have entered is too short. Please lengthen your message to at least 10 characters.) LAME :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keith.mcintyre26:
I'm not sure what causes the issue. Maybe data is going idle/dormant and it drops. What I DO know is that toggling airplane mode on and off is way better than rebooting all the time. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] najeebmirza:
When is 4.0.3 going to be pushed

Hi,

Does anyone know when 4.0.03 will be available as an OTA update on the GNex in the UK?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sblantipodi:
Google is sleeping.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] FecalLord:
They really are, the Canadian Galaxy Nexus has been stuck on 4.0.1 since launch :(
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BryanChung:
Do I lose everything when I update to 4.0.4 from 4.0.2? And this is not official, safe to flash? :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tgerbracht:
Safe to flash, you lose everything when you unlock the bootloader-a process you have to do before you root, which in turn is needed to flash this. If you happen to be unlocked and rooted, flashing this will act like an update from your carrier-you won't lose anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BryanChung:
oh yes I have unlock and root my phone already. so means I can go ahead and update this and will not lose anything?

And if this is unofficial, no issue right? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BooDaddy:
Does anyone know when Verizon is going to push 4.0.4 OTA? I have had my Nexus for about 3 weeks now, and have yet to see it come through. I have rooted and unlocked the bootloader.

I am tempted to download it from here and flash it. Will either using the one posted here or the OTA re-root and lock my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chris157:
Well seeing how Google has not officially announced 4.0.4 probably not for a while
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sleuth255:
It is odd that 4.0.4 hasn't been officially posted yet. IMO this is a very stable release with significant enhancements over 4.0.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stephen44:
Yes - I waited and waited as I expected it to become official - but in the end gave in and upgraded to this - I'm loving it !
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shadrage:
I've tried this numerous times, and it doesn't fix it. Hell, half the time it gets stuck with airplane mode enabled and no matter what I do (power menu to turn it on/off, which has always had the occasional problem disabling for me even when using Gingerbread phones/roms) and manually unchecking in settings.

Literally *requires* a reboot to fix. Very annoying. Thankfully, phone reboots fast ;)

P.S. didn't check if it's still happening on 4.0.4 for some people, but I'm running stock 4.0.2 yakju. Did not have this problem when I was using stock 4.0.2 on yakjuxw, so I'm a bit curious as to why that is? I doubt it's a bad flash as other people have the issue stock. Maybe an unlocked bootloader can cause it? Sorry I'm just throwing things out to see what sticks, I wouldn't have any idea if the bootloader could have any affect on something like this -- my guess is it wouldn't, but I mentioned it for good measure :x
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BryanChung:
"stock recovery or CWM *STOCK CDMA NEXUS ONLY*"

Means I cannot use this for my GSM Nexus?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bazzawhite:
This is only CDMA don't use with GSM Nexus. Download a ROM based on 4.0.4
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BryanChung:
Alright thank you. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tacohell:
Overall better than 4.0.2, but...

I a noob to xda and also Android, but have hacked my nokia - symbian in the past.

Having had my GNex for Verizon for only a few weeks, I was nearly frustrated with the stock 4.0.2 version due to constant call drops when switching signal, with 4.0.4 it has improved significantly although not completely. I live in a very good 4G LTE zone and while I have seen improvements in the signal bars, I still occasionally see 3G/4G switching and losing signal with 4.0.4. The frequency with which this happens has significantly reduced and signal always comes back without rebooting or switching to airplane mode.

I used WugFresh to root and update to 4.0.4 first time and for some reason it did not go too well and the signal issues got worse and I started seeing wifi signal issues. I reverted back to stock 4.0.2 and then re-rooted using WugFresh, but used Rom Manager free to flash the 4.0.4 update. WugFresh is a great tool but I think the issue is that WugFresh does not handle non-tgz updates well.

One thing I noticed is that using task killers makes the signal issues worse (this was confirmed by Verizon tech support). I have no task killers running and I see no difference in battery life - still lasts as long and no performance issues without task killers.

Overall Improvements that I have noticed with 4.0.4 over 4.0.2:

1. Signal switching issues (not fully resolved - they have gotten better)

2. Battery life (lasts me twice as long with greater usage). With 4.0.2 I had noticed that the phone would get very hot in back around the camera area for no good reason (sitting idle - no background apps).

3. General performance improvements.

4. Speaker volume appears only marginally improved. Volume+ (latest from the developers website works better - the market version is old and does not appear to help with 4.0.2 or 4.0.4).

5. Browser page load freeze is gone - but then I mostly use the chrome beta - works very well.

About the update and mobile network shortcut.

Guys , can You please tell me if they added a shortcut to the dropdown menu to switch on and off the mobile network (like WiFi and bluetooth) ? Here is the pic of what i mean :
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Thanks. Any change in the widget?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JoeSyr:
Nope, same setup as previous versions.

wth does it have to do with that????

i wonder sometimes google....

I don't use the widget, but no don't see any changes from the previous version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Nikos_s3:
good for you..;)

It is a known bug, but it is still there when I had tried the M3 Kang project(based on 4.0.3)...so lets hope it will get fixed by 4.0.5 or something..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stah333:
Ohh, whatta fail ... Is there any other way to add this switch to the pull-down menu? I wonder why google cant do such easy and fast thing like adding mobile network switch to the pull-down menu...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BooDaddy:
Probably because you can put the phone in Airplane mode even easier maybe???? Just press and hold the power button, you will see Airplane Mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stah333:
Well , i dont want mobile network to be online all the time . The best would be to add the switch . When i need itnernet in the field i would jsut turn it on nice and fast , then turn it off ... And its probably a really easy implementation to add 1 more switch to the menu . And by the way , the lack of T9 dialer sucks too . Those 2 aspects make the nexus not a perfect choice ; ) The rest is imba. Please google add T9 dialer and a swithc fo rmobile network. By the way , nobody answered if there is possibility to add the siwitch on our own .
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] BooDaddy:
There is a metric crap ton of applications in the market, both free and paid, that will allow you to place a shortcut right on one of you home screens to turn off the mobile network. You can also find a T9 dialer in the market as well....lots of them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Well, nuts. The Widget looks woefully SD on my GN. I was hoping for a HD upgrade to match the higher resolution screen.

I'm trying to stay as stock as possible. Unlocked and rooted though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
I believe you'll get notified of the OTA. If you accept it, it should download but it won't install due to a custom recovery being installed. You could re-install the stock recovery or just wait for a copy of it to be uploaded here on XDA then flash with ClockworkMod.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] diverbelow:
From the couple of other android phones I had in the past, as long as you do not delete or rename anything in /system you should get the OTA
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OnePingOnly:
Come on, Google! OTA 4.04 for GSM models already!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] champers:
Same error.

Edit: Solved! You need to revert back to stock 4.0.2 radios before applying this 4.0.4 update.zip. You can download them http://dl.dropbox.com/u/22997089/402radios_btldr.zip and flash with CWM.

Edit 2: You need to flash the old radios, reboot, and then flash the 4.0.4 update.zip or it will boot loop.

this might have been covered already and my apologies if i'm beating a dead horse but once i update to 4.0.4, my bluetooth no longer works, contact list does not update, and my signal bars are no longer blue but gray. can anyone enlighten me as to how i can fix this?
