I heard that the next phone that comes out will automatically will beam you forward in time about 200 years and you will also be able to collect as many phones as possible so when you get back to your own time (now)..... You can put them on e-bay for a premium price so you can start saving for some manors and thinking thought caps...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Google will support the GN just like every other nexus phone in the past.

We have the latest and greatest and yet people are still complaining. We're not getting left out or forgotten about or skipped. I think Google is in some **** right now with the CDMA radios and trying to find some resolve for that issue. It seems like around that is the time when the updates started to stop.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spencer88:
If they fix the CDMA radio issue and the loss of outgoing audio issue this phone would be near perfect for me, other than the sub-par camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] axne1:
You got to be kidding me I have yet to see a galaxy nexus commercial. All I see from verizon are motorola razor commercials, and iphone commercials they never advertise the galaxy nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
They exist, I saw many throughout the holidays. I haven't really watched TV since though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zephiK:
They have galaxy nexus ads. Seen them multiple times on tv. Galaxy nexus devices are never made to be mass consumed by the general public. It's more of a reference phone for the next generation of devices.

And to the person who said that, the nexus one was a failure. No it wasn't it was a reference phone that made having 1 Ghz a standard on all phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jameslepable:
They are all over youtube (obviously). All over the internet in the UK it has been on the TV, cinema, posters and a giant billboard by my house. The adverts don't say (development device only) it says galaxy nexus from google by samsung. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdD8s0jFJYo does that advert look like its just for development or does it look like it should be for everybody, like its the latest and greatest thing. Because them girls on google hangout, and the bikers certainly look like they are just using it for development /s
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nexus2b:
Ok guys...

You know what, i'm french and i prefer have my nexus with ics 4.0.2 with my new carrier "free mobile" than have the 4.0.5 on sfr.

Sfr carrier suck, thief, shame on it....

So, **** sfr and their suck update of their phone.

Forgot the 4.0.5 ...

Like you i'm waiting the real Google update
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jameslepable:
you do know all updates go through google right?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] axtn95:
Same here. Waiting on 4.0.5 on gnex I have a lot of bugs wonder f itll fix them.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] axne1:
That's a good point. I just don't see them aggressively marketing this device on national television. Even when I went to Verizon the guy was trying to push a razor or rezound on me... but I knew what is device could do and what it could not do. So I made my choice and I'm sticking with it. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Jameslepable:
Yea I have seen twice as many iphone and SGS2 adverts but the adverts I do see doesn't say its for development as I said. It's a good point though because when I went to get my phone they where iphone this SGS2 that and I said straight galaxy nexus. It was the first time I had to go around the world looking for it (sold out) that's why its a consumer device.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RogerPodacter:
I dont know, i saw tons of galaxy nexus commercials on tv here in the usa by verizon. It was a full blown campaign for like 2 months for the GN and also G+ on TBS, TNT, fox, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sert00:
WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?

i don't have many of these bugs..for the rest i totally agree with adrynaline.never ever seen multitouch bug,haven't got lag at all,or at least not so much to claim that is an ics\google bug.at all,i'm very happy with that phone..also on battery managment,with proper usage\tricks and proper kernels i have 2 days and more of battery...not so bad i think.with my older gingerbread\froyo devices i hadn't much more hours of battery...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] corban227:
24 pages later and I know as much as I did when I first started.

Mid march is the rough release date of 4.0.5. And mid march, in relative terms isn't over till the 20th.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] descendency:
As another forum member said, if the update doesn't come over a weekend, there is a 20% chance of it coming on a Tuesday.

---------- Post added at 11:16 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:15 PM ----------

That's wrong, because

A.) "1 Ghz" isn't a standard in the sense that you are using it.

B.) I didn't say the N1 was a failure. I said how Google sold it was.

Yea, there were tons of terrible commercials. (The one about the 'organize your friends into circles' was terrible at showing off what the phone actually does)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kristovaher:
Well, 4.0.2 is not badly laggy, but put it next to 4.0.1 stock and you will see that it is very bad. I tested it. 4.0.2 factory reset vs stock 4.0.1 my friend had when he got the phone and it is a very noticable difference.

4.0.2 -IS- laggy and I am amazed Google has not still fixed it or given us an update, since some devices (like TF201) already have the update as well as new features from the new API.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] phonatrep:
Yes, I bought mine with 4.0.1, it was really fast.

A few weeks later, after it updated itself to 4.0.2, I discovered a new phone, full of lags.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] javalen:
Satisfied w/my Galaxy Nexus

I bought it from my local Verizon store about 1 month ago, knowing of some connectivity and stability issues, but being encouraged by a friend because of his positive experiences with the later releases of the OS I could flash to. I rooted (after a few days) and went to 4.0.4, and actually noticed a slight degradation in phone signal and 4G reliability, but I've since heard that since my area is so new to 4G, Verizon customers in general were experiencing issues, so I was appeased.

I would love to have better reliability in regards to connection, but I'm very happy with the device. I also realize I'm not so much of a talker as much as a researcher and notes taker, so it's a great device for me. It will keep me going for another year or two, and I'll gladly hand it down to one of the kids as a portable mp4 player. Lets face it, it's all just man made technology. It gets better with time, but we all must endure the burden of being their guinea pig.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] axne1:
Jesus when it's all said and done it's a phone!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubiconjp:
You're using it as a phone!?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dougeq:
Can we please close this thread. We all have different experiences with our phones and Google will release the next update when its ready. If you are not happy switch to another device whining will not push out updates faster.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nodstuff:
Ha ha ha ha!!!! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kleiner81:
Never the less it's a forum,and why not discuss about our experiences with the update policity of google? If you are not interested in,don't read :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] axne1:
I made the phone statement because people act as if this phone should be able to tie your shoes and wipe your ass. Be patient an update will come and you will be happy. Or not.....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kalinf:
Err... I already use it to wipe my ass...

Yes... be patient and wait 5 (and counting) months for the phone you bought to work as intended...

Seriously though. The length of time it is taking to address the known issues with this phone is pretty shoddy - more so because there has been very little (no?) communication about potential updates. In other industries that level of service would not be acceptable. I think that kind of communication would go along way to addressing gripes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] masully84:
Yeah getting angry over updates is stupid, patience is a virtue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Since when has Google been overly communicative about updates?

And...if memory serves, at least ONE of the Nexus devices took many months to work as intended.

So, suck it up or find another device, and next time do your homework on past history with a line of devices. This is nothing new.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] axne1:
What they said ^^^^ :beer:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Guilty as charged. I'm going to license that meme.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kalinf:
In an iterative process the idea is that the process/product improves with each iteration. Just because things have been a certain way doesn't mean they need to remain so.

This particular product has been targeted at a much larger userbase than previous Nexus devices and as such comes under more scrutiny and a greater level of expectation about after sale support/service.

A premium priced product should surely come with at least some expectation of quality or at least enough after sale support to ensure the device matches what was advertised.

If everyone simply 'sucked it up' then why would anyone bother to improve or fix anything or even bother to make a decent product in the first place?

I don't think being asking for some information on what bugs are being addressed and some news of progress is unreasonable from your paying customers.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
What you have described is a "blind faith" scenario.

I don't play that game. The only way a company listens is if you hit them in the pocketbook.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrewsoong:
How dare anyone voice anger towards Google about this?!

They have a history of being silent when it comes to updates and a history of releasing buggy phones! So you should expect no answers and a buggy phone!

If it's ANYONE'S fault it's yours for not knowing they release buggy phones, IDIOT!

Leave Google Aloooooone!

:rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
You went a bit overboard, but to assume that things MAGICALLY change from the past is pretty stupid.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andrewsoong:
Yeah how dare anyone assume Google's customer service skills may improve. And to think a phone will be released buggy because a previous phone has? Come on, no one should be fine with a buggy phone!

This is one of the reasons so many are going from Android to iPhone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
LOL...you fools are taking things out of context.

A lot of you bought a phone ASSUMING things would change from the past.

Poor purchase decision.

A smart buyer waits and SEES if things have changed before buying.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] CrashV2010:
AMEN!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Serious_Beans:
Things changed, exactly why I bought this phone, better hardware, superior design ( coming from Nexus S) and the OS is 10 times better, at least IMO, it has its problems, but honestly, nothing really major, especially after installing Bugless Beast and Trinity kernel, phone feels way faster and battery life is pretty awesome.

I'm sure Google will be pushing updates soon, they probably don't want to disappoint us again so they're probably working harder on a real good update that will fix all problems and HOPEFULLY improve battery life some more, though 5hrs of screen on time isn't bad at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] cyco1978:
Think I'll have to agree with you! I've had every nexus phone 2x over (tend to break or lose them). Its sad they offer great free services that I love Google music & photo's that are clearly unmatched! You buy the phone to avoid dealing with the carrier & the ****y overlays (beside touch wiz on the SGS2). I've gotten use to waiting for an update, but this is ridiculous! I shouldn't have to root my phone for a custom rom that's why I ditched the SGS! Yeah this will be my last Android phone! Nexus or not androids updates are still going to be an issue & always have been!

If the iPhone gets a bigger screen this year I'm so done.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
What is your point? Those are user submitted issues. Not official bugs.

First, the android os bug doesn't affect battery.

The camera issue is just as much user preference.

I have never seen multi touch bug and if it only happens in certain apps, the culprit may not be ics.

Blurry images is certainly not an ics issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
There seems to be a misconception about Nexus phones getting updates as frequent as devs release custom rom updates

If I remember correctly, the Nexus one had an OTA a month after launch to 2.1r-1 and added multi-touch. Then, the Froyo update in late June or July.

Two OTA's in 6 months. We have already had one and another is around the corner.

Wouldn't we all rather have an update that will be as close to bug free as possible? Or do we all like reading a 100 "OMGZ!!!! the OTA bricked my phone" threads?

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Sdobron:
Speaker clicking is a known issue and happens on 4.0.3 also. Otherwise my phone is solid. Only reboots were due to custom kernel beta releases

No the One just shipped with data and reboot issues. No big deal right?

So quickly people forget...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] daern:
Fundamental VPN fault on GSM version in 4.0.1 and 4.0.2. Resolved in 4.0.3 in Dec, yet still no formal release at this version.

Support for Cisco IPsec in ICS was by far the #1 reason I chose this phone and having to run a third party unofficial ROM because the manufacturer and software developer cannot get a releasable build out of the door *in 3 months* is a damning indictment of both Google and Samsung.

Love the phone, love the community support, but let's be honest here....Google customer support stinks. Always has, always will :-/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Valynor:
Sfr has nothing to do with Nexus updates and thus can't delay anything. Doh.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
Compared to who? Samsung is just now updating the Samsung Continuum, an SGS device to FROYO.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] chirea.mircea:
And Apple just upgraded their devices, back to even 3GS to iOS5.1.

This is a FLAGSHIP device we're talking about, not some cheap low-end phone. And heck, if Apple is able to update three generations worth of phones, why can't Google (Nexus One) and Samsung (Galaxy S - LAST GEN FFS!)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
Well the nexus one doesn't have enough rom storage to do so. Samsung has to port all their touchwiz garbage and will be upgraded soon. Also, there are a boatload of reasons why its more difficult to update android phones compared to an iPhone. I'll let you figure that out.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
If Android disappoints, move on. I am not seeing the issue here.

I personally think Apple to Google comparisons are silly.

I thought it was interesting that the delayed version was 4.0.5. What is so wrong with 4.0.4 that it was skipped as an OTA candidate I wonder...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nonione:
damn im glad i dont have all those issues listed here :)

about the release date, i think we're all eagerly waiting for it but why make them release it tomorrow with bugs instead of waiting a couple weeks more for a solid update?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] virtualcertainty:
Exactly. It is still one of the most prevalent myths of this phone that any non-yakju phone is carrier/samsung controlled and somehow not "pure google" or "no longer a Nexus".

The title of this thread, "Sfr delays the update", should have been enough to dismiss its credibility just as much as, "Al Gore delays release Internet v2.0." This ISP could not possibly have any knowledge or control over any Android release.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beamer9408:
The Internet?? They still make that stuff?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Beamer9408:
Seriously they wouldn't put it on the Internet if it wasn't true.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] player911:
Lmao. The nexus one had the worst multi touch bug of all. Couldn't plat games at all. Plus 4.0.4 already fixed that. I haven't experienced it for months.

I have no issues at all. I have LTE disabled because who needs it? Battery lasts all day and no signal problems.

I'm pretty sure the Nexus S had some GPS issues too since it was based off the original Galaxy line.

I'm not worried at all. If you want bleeding edge then root and go. But ICS is a new build, there are bugs. Its a major overhaul and they are working on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] OniV2:
I'm going pretty well with 4.0.2, so I can wait for 4.0.5. I'm sure it'll bring some nice fixes and new APIs, but for now, I'm good. Still loving my Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Scottatron:
Perhaps the delays are because Google are helping other OEMs get their ICS releases completed?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] VaKo:
I do wonder if the CMDA GNex is flawed in some way. Every day I read peoples horror stories with the device, get my GSM, stock and locked, seems to be running fine. And upon a little light research, the people reporting the majority of the issues appear to be Americans using the Verizon version, which is different internally to the GSM version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nickzkcin:
4.0.4 on the nexus one? modded?

agreed with the worst multi touch bug though. i've had the nexus one since release(swapping once with HTC because of the hardware power button failing) and the bug is horrible.

the galaxy nexus has been a breath of fresh air
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
No lol. And if they were, they're completely capable of doing more than 1 thing at once.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
No.

LTE in current generation radios is flawed. It doesn't matter the device; none of them are perfect, and some are worse than others.

Sadly, software has little to do with it.

The real outcry here is folks assumed that because it was a Nexus device, the radio troubles of LTE would magically disappear. That and those who are experiencing LTE for the first time don't understand just how many growing pains this tech has. I don't expect LTE hardware to mature to anywhere near a stable state before the end of this year/ beginning of next.

Coming from the Thunderbolt, this is business as usual for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] eturk01:
Found this great technical article on why Verizon's LTE phones drop data. I'm constantly having to use airplane mode to restart my radio to get data connection. Seems it's an authentication error. Verizon is so paranoid about people hacking their network their phones are constantly limited. Like pulling Dev status on their GNex because the CDMA drivers are so secret.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2011/1...other-4g-lte-vzw-phone-is-losing-data-signal/
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adrynalyne:
I haven't read all of that yet, but to be honest, I have not seen anyone who disables LTE altogether and uses 3G only having data drops. If its authentication issues, I would expect problems to persist, even when LTE is disabled.

I know for me, the data drops are for a couple reasons:

1. I am usually in a fringe area.

2. eHRPD goes down A LOT. This means for people in fringe areas, if you don't get 4G, GOOD LUCK at getting 3G.

When Verizon disables eHRPD, 3G comes back in cases of the second scenario. Contrary to popular belief, evdo rev. A can transition to LTE, its just even slower than eHRPD.

In fringe areas, data outages are often for me, because the phone seems to spend about half its time switching between networks. Because current LTE tech is in its infancy, the transition is almost never seamless. So when I wake up my phone, there is no data, and when I'm using I will drop constantly. I cure this by staying on 3G, unless I am in a STRONG 4G area.

If I adhere to this, I never have outages, unless there is a network issue.

SFR are a joke. I was in France last November around the time the GNex came out in the UK, I went to 2 different SFR shops and asked them if they had the Galaxy Nexus (in French, so no confusion there).. the first shop replied "We don't have it anymore, it's over a year old so we don't carry such old models", I was dumbfounded.

The second salesman said he never heard of it, and therefore it couldn't possibly exist anywhere let alone their shop. So take what SFR posts on their website with a grain of salt, them being a major carrier doesn't mean that they are not idiots.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Seriously. Go cry some more and sell your galaxy nexus for a SGSII with touchwiz on ICS.... you'll be wishing you had your GN back.

Stop complaining. The GSM nexus has been out for almost 4 months with ICS while the GSII had gingerbread still. And now you're gonna cry about its ota to 4.0.3 when were on 4.0.2?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] williamthegoat:
You don't find it the least bit comical that Samsung managed to get 4.0.3 rolled out before Google? I mean, how long has AOSP 4.0.3 been out now and they've yet to roll it. Fortunately since its a Nexus we can work around that fact.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] inorde:
[whining]

I thought the Nexus phones were supposed to be the first ones to get updates, not the Galaxy S II has a newer version, with TouchWiz, than my Galaxy Nexus. Remember Google saying 4.0.3 is to be considered the final version of ICS? Why isn't it on my phone then? After 4 months?

I'm sorry but that's just stupid. I wonder what the hell is going on with development over at Google and Samsung. I can't find anything on release dates apart from a few rumors.

[/whining]

You start to wonder what's in 4.0.5 or whatever version they are working on. So far my phone's running great, but I hope a new update will get rid of some bugs and some of the new stuff in there looks pretty neat. (like the updated contacts)
