[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DroidedMFer:
I'm in Riverside...just a big LA Kings fan :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
I'm from palm springs and running stock everything on the new software. Been absolutely flawless
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] sanjurotsubaki:
I had a small glitch the first day, but have been running it for almost a week flawlessly. Last thing I did was delete the cache partition, smoothed out everything.

Love the update. Better batter, stronger signal in locations I normally had no service.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
I did the same about 4 days ago. Worked out the same for me too
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meest:
Just loaded 4.2.2 today and my gnex as been running warm and the battery draining faster than normal, even after reboots/battery pulls. Going to try and delete the cache partition to see if that will help.

Anyone else experience this yet? Otherwise I love the new lock screen and Camera and notification interface.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
Are you using an exchange email account? This seems to be a problem with 4.2.2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mkramer5004:
I am from the Fresno area and have nothing but problems with the radios. I am on 4.1.1 and watch the signal go from 2 bars 4g to 2 bars 3g to no signal and I haven't even moved. It stinks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
You should give 4.2.2 a try.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GlassNex:
I have been on 4.2.2 for three days and have been completely satisfied from everything that came from the zip folder. Radios working great, battery has been charging faster and lasting longer. With this update it was like pfizer made a pill for the gnex. Thanks to everyone, the verizon galaxy nexus can keep it up when it counts.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] meest:
Yes, I do have my work Exchange account on there.... Odd that thats an issue. I'll try and remove it and see if that changes anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
From what I've read that should work - remove it and then add back.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] murso74:
no kidding... i wonder if this is what's been killing my phone on CM10.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
Happy to see Fresno represented here! I was born and raised in Madera. Left about 15 years ago after I graduated from Madera High School. I still make it back every few years to see my mom. No matter where I go, for some reason, Fresno is the only place that ever really felt like home. haha

OK sorry for the off topic babble. Carry on!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
Wow I'm surprised. I've been a lot of places with this phone and the only place I get a consistently good signal is fresno. Maybe because its so flat and that's optimal for cell signal
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Big ZD:
Can you delete the cache partition from stock recovery w/locked bootloader?

Sent from my Verizon Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wastedlife:
Use something like Better Battery Stats to see if you are not properly sleeping. I don't run stock, but 4.2.2 AOSP has an issue with needing to get a GPS lock before it will go into deep sleep. If your phone never deep sleeps, it may run warmer and the battery will drain.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
Yes. Turn your phone off, then reboot into bootloader mode by holding down volume up AND down while powering on. Once you see the bootloader screen, press volume down until the colored text at the top of the screen reads "recovery mode". Press power and your phone will boot to stock recovery. Once in there, hold down power, then press volume up. That will bring you to the recovery menu. One if the options is erase cache. Use power down to highlight it, then power to select it. Your phone will automatically when it's done.

Easy as pie. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
That actually kind of scared me the first time I cleared it on 4.2

Mostly because on 4.1 I had to clear it then reboot it myself.

Makes me wonder what else will be automated in future updates
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] robbyrobaz:
Worked GREAT!!

Ya that Hotspot Toggle Widget did the trick and now the built in Wifi Hotspot in android 4.2.2 works perfectly!!!

All other tethering apps didn't work as they had some errors in creating the AP or something. Probably moved the wifi hotspot folder in 4.2.2 or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ncvikingx97:
Any official ota for the update?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnhimm:
The test OTA is floating around, Google it and flash from 4.1.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
4.2.2/JDQ39 is still technically an engineering build that Verizon is testing. However, seeing as JDQ39 is the final release for the Nexus 4, 7 and 10, plus the GSM Galaxy Nexus models, I'd be shocked if Verizon didn't sign off on it sometime in the next few weeks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kpoverdorf:
I'm so happy I rooted... I would be so annoyed right now. My gf has a gnex too and she left it stock bc she doesn't want to be bothered with me tinkering with her phone... she has no idea what she is missing
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
You would be annoyed because...there's a buttery smooth stock OTA update available for Verizon's GNex?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
Have her adb side load it. No root few l required. I did the same because i felt the same
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dragn4rce:
Not really stock with the bloated market(where's that G-wallet and also has a VZW market button) and two apps. Lol

--------------------------------------------------

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
What the hell are you talking about? VZW market? WTF? It comes with two Verizon apps that can be disabled with a few taps, and a couple of library files. One app is the My Verizon app which I can't imagine why anyone wouldn't use. The other is the VZW Backup Assistant, which helps people coming from dumb phones transfer their contacts. The extra library files allow users of the phone to use VZW-branded apps like NFL Mobile. It makes perfect sense that a person who bought the phone on VZW should expect to be able to use VZW apps and services.

The argument that the VZW Gnex contains bloat is a straw man argument at best.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldnexus:
I'm still stock and non-rooted and honestly what am I missing? Pretty much everything I've read on the update has it as a non-major upgrade. A few cool options made available but nothing to throw a parade over. I've been content with waiting for the ota because I firmly believe the official ota is going to blow the flashed version out. And as for this thing having bloat! Where? Apps every VZW customer would use and would d/l if not already on the phone isn't bloat. If yours is bloated, apparently you don't know what you're doing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tiny4579:
Does it actually stay smooth after running a few days without any reboots or other tricks? That seems to be a problem with cm 10.1 and even stock aosp 4.2.2 ROMs where they will start to lag after a while. I still think it's 4.2 related but I'd love to be shown a ROM on 4.2.2 that doesn't start killing apps after a while including the launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
The leak build is smooth. Been running it since last Saturday without lag and no wonky reboots . only had to clear the cache partition twice . reception has been fantastic . the keyboard way cool. Been using better then 4.1.1 keyboard
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
Yeah, clearing the cache after installation seems to be necessary. I cleared before loading the OTA in stock recovery, and have been having issues with BT and Wi-Fi disconnecting when the screen is turned off. Did a second cache clearing the problem seems to have vanished.

In my opinion - YES.

I am so looking forward to JDQ39 appearing as the official OTA. But good to see that others understand that there is really no bloat on this device.

Since when is a Verizon Market button in the Play Store app bloat? No one requires you to install anything from it. The only GNex with Google Wallet pre-installed is takju. Yakju and all of its variants require separate installation. You have no argument that this device is not stock.

This is easiest OTA to manually load since the GNex launched. I think Google saw the light and included the USB and ADB options in stock recovery specifically for this reason.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
I've seen that wifi issue with my nexus since ICS . had with this update too but not nearly as bad or frequent
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnhimm:
You should be rebooting your phone daily no matter what.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tiny4579:
Thats not a good way of thinking. I usually do reboot evey day or two for kernel tests or ROM updates but to reboot due to os issues and lag is not acceptable. That's called dealing with an issue and applying a quick fix of cleaning out ram.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tiny4579:
Also horrible android is battery usage with the deodexed 4.2.2 ROM by mwqlt. Not sure if the ota leak had this issue as I broke it flashing a deodexed mod which was for the stock ROM I'm running. I don't feel like going into detail about why I broke it.

Anyway currents is off and my googling skills didn't help either. With the same app setup I don't have this issue on cm10.1.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnhimm:
Even the best computer will get sluggish without the usual reboot. I turn my phone off every night so it's something I do unconsciously.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tiny4579:
Do you want google rebooting their linux based servers and have us seeing Google service outages just so they get their performance up? This is also not quite true. I've been running my linux rig at home for over 2 days without lag and used to have it up for days or weeks without needing a reboot. If you have to reboot due to slowness, you may have insufficient memory, a slow hard drive, a memory leak in an program, or running Windows or a combination of these.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] johnhimm:
I don't reboot due to slowness, I turn my phone off at night.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Citizen_Snips:
Yeah my boss knows I'm into Android, so he asked me to look at his droid 4 one day. He was having the following problems. 1, trying to set a pattern screen lock wouldn't work. He'd go through the settings, apply it and nothing would happen when unlocking. 2, Trying to change the amount of time before the screen would time out couldn't be changed. 3, auto brightness didn't work at all, etc.

All easy stuff. Wasn't user error at all. He tried, then I tried. The phone was stock 100%. I checked his uptime......over 525 hours. I literally rebooted his phone and that was that. Everything worked again. Didn't take anything else.

Sometimes it is good to give the electronics inside the phone some rest. Same with laptops, computers and game counsels. Rebooting or shutting down the phone for a little while isn't a "quick, lazy fix for lag" it's good practice in order to keep my devices running smooth was well as getting the longest life out of it. I need to charge my phone only once a day. I set my 7am alarm, wake up around 7:10, power off my phone from the previous day and let it charge to 100% while off. Reboot it on the charger when it's done and leave for work. Easy.

Go ahead and keep your PC, Xbox or PS3 on all day everyday when you don't use it while I shut everything down right when I'm done with it. Let's see who's lasts longer, lol...

FYI mine will last longer guaranteed. I know this because my brother leaves his PS3s on all the time. He's on his 4th or 5th slim by now. I still have the OG 60gb that plays ps2 games. Running smooth. :rolleyes:

Meh...sorry for the mini rant, just came here to check for any news to an official ota and I couldn't believe people were catching flack because they reboot their phones, l.m.a.o.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Big ZD:
Just out of curiosity, does anyone recall if Verizon posted the appropriate update page for 4.1.1 before it was OTA'd, or was there no warning beyond the "update coming soon" on the support page?

I was number crunching and it looked like receipt of test leak to OTA was about 23 days.

I know, I know... I can just use ADB and have it now.

I guess it's coming and it's real now
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
anyone received it yet? I tried the google services framework trick but no luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
No,but I certainly hope it's the same build as the leak. I don't wanna work on that dreadful windows xp machine
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
A friend just got it on her Galaxy Nexus. I can confirm its the same one El Madhatter gave us a few weeks ago. JDQ39, FK01/FK02 radios.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slider112:
Wifi download only like 4.1.1? Wouldn't doubt it, but it would be nice to be able to use the mobile connection...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
So I'm not missing any bloat ware or extras that came with the official ota
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
Nope. Exact same update URL. It's the exact same file.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Big ZD:
Well, that makes 1. Phase 1 of the roll out complete... Phase 2 will commence tomorrow. :P

Sent from my Verizon Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
I'd say give an entire week! Last time 4.1 came out I got it pretty much over week end. After endless checkins and framework stops
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slider112:
Anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
Let us know how that works out for you since the official OTA is the same as the leak.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
New OTAs are always via WiFi-only.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] slider112:
Figured; thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldnexus:
Always wondered on my previous smartphones when they updated. How do they determine who's in which phase of an update? Just curious.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
Normally it's completely random, based on IMEI number.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fk.gregor:
i wonder since i have the leaked version will the phone still try and update it or.... just thought..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
No it won't. You have the update. The official update and the "leak" are the exact same file. We just had it several weeks before it was announced.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
No. The update server is checking for a build fingerprint to see if there is an update. Since you have the current fingerprint, it's just going ignore the update request and move on. If there are additional updates to the GNex, you'll still get those...unless of course the OTA leaks and then it really won't matter.:)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Big ZD:
For a roll out that's starting today, the number of claimants seems pretty dang few.

Sent from my Verizon Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
So if I'm missing wallpapers and ringtones and other garbage, it'll make me update again?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
It's always that way day one of a rollout. Normally only 5-10% of devices get an update on day one.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
Huh?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ntb81:
Out of curiosity, other than not being rooted, what do you guys think constitutes a stock build when your phone is checked for the build type prior to pushing the OTA? Could it tell a truly stock factory image from a truly stock but CWM flashed ROM if it's unrooted, odexed, etc?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
No. It checks the value of ro.build.fingerprint in build.prop. That's it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldnexus:
Any others receive the ota? It's like the VZW 12 days of Christmas for us Verizon Nexus users.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
Never mind man! I was blathering because sometimes new updates come with new wallpapers and ringtones . I just remembered you said the leak matches the ota to a T
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
Yep. Its the exact same file.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ntb81:
And by "truly stock cwm flashed ROM" I don't mean out of the compiler AOSP. I mean let's say I made a flashable unaltered stock rom through CWM.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
Dude, like I said... ROM doesn't matter. The value of ro.build.fingerprint in build.prop is what matters. People on CM10 would get an OTA notification if the fingerprint matched up. That's why a lot of custom ROMs remove System Update from the Settings menu... if they didn't, purple would be getting OTA notifications.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
I don't root because nothing I do on any of my devices requires it. No point in taking the security risk if there's no reward.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ntb81:
Sorry I added that before I saw your response. I was just interested to know what it looks for. I'm on the ota leak and am about 16 months past the last time I thought it might be worth waiting for Verizon to update my pure Google experience phone in a timely manner
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fk.gregor:
today was the first full day i had the update. i always root unroot root unroot this poor phone because the battery life is so bad. can i flash a custom kernel through the toolkit? will that work if the phone is locked up?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ntb81:
I'm on the leak but someone told me that if I clear framework services repeatedly while watching The Wizard of Oz on mute that I will actually get the OTA to Android 6.0, also known as Lingonberry, which cuts the quick settings process down by only requiring 1.75 taps on the WiFi button. You also get widgets on your phone's case.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bren924:
I just got the OTA update notification, so it is getting out to stock devices.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 2ksilverbullet:
Woke up to the update prompt this morning. My phone is totally stock, didn't clear framework or anything. Installed fine over 4G (wifi wasn't on) in about 10 minutes.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SinghDroid:
Finally at 4.2.2!

Got my update early this morning. I was on wifi, and just went to settings and checked for updates. :laugh:

I kept trying the services framework trick yesterday over 3G/4G/WiFi but that didn't help. Today I got the OTA update without any workaround.

I'm in west of Boston, and got my device ~December 2011, in case location and/or age matter.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Big ZD:
So does this mean I can't get it any sooner than they give it? Clearing Google services framework... Is that only effective after it's been pushed (IMEInis selected), but before you are notified?

Sent from my Verizon Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
Clearing Google Services Framework isn't smart. It breaks push notifications on your devices and can cause other problems. That's a very fundamental system service.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Big ZD:
Interesting, considering many suggest to do so in order to get updates sooner. I'll stick with you oldblue!

Sent from my Verizon Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] oldblue910:
Yeah, Google Services Framework is a very important system service. Myself and a few other people always shout this from the rooftops whenever there's an OTA but those threads move so fast, the warnings get lost in the ether.

Basically when you do that, your system has to request a brand new unique device ID from Google, which means that all your apps which use push notifications (like Facebook, Twitter, Foursqure, Google+, etc.) will all stop working until you clear data on each app individually and set it up again. Some people also report that clearing the Google Services Framework can break the Play Store as well. Probably a good idea to just download the OTA file and flash it manually via ADB in stock recovery, or just be patient and wait a day or two until you get the OTA notification.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] El Daddy:
I don't care if it breaks everything on my phone!! I want my update NAO!!!1!!!11!!! :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 2ksilverbullet:
Surprised Verizon didn't put a note with the release to delete/add your exchange account if your battery goes dead 10 minutes after you upgrade. Boy that sucker got hot and wiped out a full battery in no time. Seems to be better afterwards though...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bassbone83:
anyone else having bootloop problems after the 4.2.2 OTA? Downloaded the update, everything worked fine for about 2 hours. Random freeze, then reboot, now it wont complete the boot......not rooted, any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] :
oh just hit force stop and clear data then check for update. worked for me the first try. yay 4.2.2

california area.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] NotShorty:
Good guess...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zoo16:
Question: I'm on a 4.2.1 ROM and plan on flashing the factory image and then taking the 4.2.2 update. Can this new update be rooted? Wug's Toolkit?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] efrant:
You have a nexus device with an unlockable bootloader. You can always get root.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] zoo16:
Doh! Yep. I had been so used to the Bionic and Razr and having to wait til someone cracked the new updates, and forgot that it is so easy now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fk.gregor:
Can get back to 4.1.1?

i think people dont read at all..... https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#mysid

Dude, how long have you been a member of XDA? Of course people don't read. That's part of the whole XDA experience! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dapman02:
I still havn't recieved the update :(

Anyone else having this issue
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amaddux:
Same here, but I didn't get it for a few days last time, hoping it appears tonight. :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Dapman02:
Me too, I swear a good 30 percent of my battery is being consumed just checking for the update lol
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ironside2011:
That was me when I 1st heard 4.2 was coming to us Verizon nexus guys
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rasa11:
come on verizon!

I'm trying to be patient here... lol :P
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fk.gregor:
battery life on the ota leak is horrid. barely get an hour and 15 minutes.

i wonder if the official will be any better with battery life, i know stupid question..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] SirBindy:
Sounds like you have some other kind of issue going on there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Winesnob:
Found the battery life to be no different than 4.1.1 with respect to screen time, seems more efficient at rest - think it's reaching deep sleep faster, particularly on Wi-Fi. And since the leak and the official OTA are EXACTLY the same I wouldn't expect any difference.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Big ZD:
I didn't have battery issues, but I did have just generally not good performance (it wasn't bad... Just off). Ended up taking a factory reset... Now all is well in the land of 4.2.2. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fk.gregor:
I flashed a new kernel maybe that'll work for me better. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amaddux:
Still no OTA here, I wonder how long they take to push it out to all phones? Last time it was 3 days later, but we've passed that point now. Anyone have an idea of how long the rolling window of updates is ?:what:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kyoteqwik:
I've been through several different phones and a lot of OTA updates from Verizon and every one that I've ever received came late Saturday night early Sunday morning. I realize some get earlier, but that not case for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tiny4579:
You could all just sideload the leak. Its the same thing and doesn't need an unlocked bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Rasa11:
I would sideload it...

But the majority of people can't even use 4.2.2 without experiencing lag on simple screen transitions... So I'm no longer excited for, or waiting for this update. Lol

Beamed from Galaxy Nexus
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] amaddux:
Could...but why bother a day or two before the OTA finally makes it...

Nevermind...update came overnight...
